Description Alex Thomas 2017-10-31 19:34:09 UTC 
Satellite  A665-S5170, i3, 4GB RAM, 640GB HDD, realtek ethernet, intel wifi+wimax

System will boot from USB or hard disk with Windows, Linux (using GRUB2), or the OpenBSD bootloader without issue, and after install boots normally.

FreeBSD 11.1-Release ( and TrueOS) Only booting via optical drive works for install, ( boot from usb fails ) and once system is installed and rebooted, it fails to boot with system giving error of "Boot Failure"

TTried with CURRENT snapshot r325156 from 20171030, same issue.

Adding this before closing. Found issue. System needed MBR rather than GPT. Had been working with other machines that needed GPT and completely overlooked it on the setup wizard.
