Description olivier 2014-10-13 22:44:44 UTC 
My Elitbook can't boot the USB memstick 10.1-RC2: "BTX Halted" error message.

This problem should be on the USB memstick image format, because this laptop can boot and run 10.1-RC1 (an old 10.0 upgraded) without problem from its hard drive.

The same here with HP EliteBook 2740p that can only boot from USB (no OpticalDrive). Load hangs at random times in bootloader and/or kernel load. I had to do a PXE Boot Install to get system running.

In other situation I have noticed USB HUB problems. My USB Ethernet adapter does not work here when connected directly to a port, but works  when connected via USB HUB. Maybe that would be a hint :-)

Updated 10.1-BETA and 10.1-RC versioned bugs to 10.1-STABLE.
Comment 3 olivier 2015-06-04 08:24:52 UTC 
I did a re-try with:
- FreeBSD-11.0-CURRENT-amd64-r283577-20150526-memstick.img
- FreeBSD-10.1-STABLE-amd64-20150601-r283892-memstick.img
- FreeBSD-10.1-STABLE-amd64-20150601-r283892-uefi-memstick.img

=> Same problem:

BTX loader 1.00  BTX version is 1.02
Consoles: internal video/keyboard
BIOS drive C: is disk0
BIOS drive D: is disk1
BIOS drive E: is disk2
BIOS 635kB/3086068kB available memory

I've just reach to boot my HP EliteBook a 12-current r306668 from an USB memstick (in UEFI mode).

Olivier tells me that it's fixed and this bug can be closed.
Comment 6 Tomasz "CeDeROM" CEDRO 2019-01-08 21:41:54 UTC 
Awsome! Thank you! I have seen huge progress especially in UEFI boot in FreeBSD 12.0 RELEASE. Thank You! :-)
