I would like to try FreeBSD after I tried out Linux. I have tested FreeBSD earlier on VirtualBox, and it succeeded. I have created my FreeBSD USB using dd as my first attempt on Kali Linux, following the tutorial. I have used FreeBSD-13.0-CURRENT 2019/2/28 memstick.img as my release for testing purposes.
Now here comes the problem. When attempting to boot to USB on my old computer that only supports BIOS, it tells me that the disk that I am booting from isn't a system disk, and to restart, I have to press any key, which leads to booting to the HDD. Output:
I thought that was the dd problem, but before doing it in win32diskimage on my Windows XP, I checked the partition table on Kali, and saw that there are 2 partitions: EFI, and FreeBSD. I then tried to make my bootable USB using the app aforementioned after I wiped every partition out using Rufus, and I even checked the SHA256 sum, and they're the same as one provided in the website.
I rebooted to my USB, and it still yields the same error as described. Could it be that my memstick.img doesn't support BIOS? Or can I build the memstick.img with BIOS support without going to FreeBSD? I need suggestions to get it to work on my PC.
