It's tested on versions: First instal Second install FreeBSD 11.0 amd64 disk1 - FreeBSD 11.0 amd64 disk1 FreeBSD 11.0 amd64 disk1 - FreeBSD 10.3 amd64 disk1 FreeBSD 10.3 amd64 disk1 - FreeBSD 10.3 amd64 disk1 No error when: First instal Second install FreeBSD 11.0 amd64 disk1 - FreeBSD 7.1 amd64 disk1 i386 NOT tested. It's tested on versions: First instal Second install FreeBSD 11.0 amd64 disk1 - FreeBSD 9.3 amd64 disk1 I'm seeing something similar on 12.1-RELEASE. PowerEdge R415 set to boot via BIOS, not UEFI. I tried doing a scripted install with the following in installerconfig: PARTITIONS="mfid0 gpt { 128G freebsd-ufs /, 4G freebsd-swap }" The system had been running with root on zfs. ( Note also that the "gpt" tag in PARTITIONS is undocumented, which is another issue. Without it, the partition scheme defaults to MBR, which seems odd. ) Installation went fine, but upon reboot I got "no bootable disks found". I tried a manual install, deleting and recreating the partitions, but not the GPT itself. Still same problem. Then did another manual install, deleting and recreating the GPT, and now it works fine. |
