I copied the FreeBSD installer on a memstick. After booting I first get the FreeBSD menu, and after selecting "boot" I get the a few lines and the error:
My solution was to stick the USB stick in another port. In my case I moved it from a USB3 to a USB2 port, and that solved my problem.
Hope this tidbit may help others with a similar problem. For the FreeBSD experts: why would this error be there, and how would it matter where the USB key was plugged in? Because it was USB 3? Because the USB 3 port has another controller? And why would it fail if I first see the boot menu (so the computer could read the stick just fine).
Code:
Mounting from ufs:/dev/ufs/FreeBSD_Install failed with error 19.
Loader variables:
vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ufs/FreeBSD_Install
vfs.root.mountfrom.options=ro,noatime
