Dear Sirs, I am an absolute FreeBSD beginner and am writing here after suggestion got in the Forum. Briefing: as in the title, DVD and image stick install process aborts some lines after process starts and machine automatically reboots showing GRUB2. Better than words a short video can show you what I mean, here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15xmKyqZrHvLfrjUj02d0Xg6_b0TX0BrJ/view?usp=sharing Thread in the Forum here: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/freebsd-12-0-install-from-dvd-aborts.68960/ lshw machine here: https://pastebin.com/nGx5K1NA Two HDD on the machine: /dev/sda = only Windows 10 /dev/sdb = Linux GPT partitions ext4 (plus or minus 70 GB each plus NTFS for data, efi and swap) If needing more data, please, let me know. Best Regards Silvio Arnone

@Silvio, Can you detail exactly which DVD ISO (full filename) image you you downloaded and whether you have tried any others? If you haven't tried any others, I would attempt the bootonly and memstick images, if nothing else than to give us a couple of more datapoints
@ Kubilay, I have been downloading this one: https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/12.0/FreeBSD-12.0-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso and this one: https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/12.0/FreeBSD-12.0-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img getting the same result. After that, I have been trying this one: https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/11.2/FreeBSD-11.2-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img it doesn't start a too. Best Regards Silvio
