When attempting to install FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE dvd.iso, disk1.iso, and .img, initial boot to the install medium fails with an inability to find /boot/lua/loader.lua. Solution is to: 1) in parallels, navigate to settings, hardware, boot order 2) select "Advanced Settings" 3) add: 'vm.bios.efi=1' 4) boot VM and install as usual.
@PauAmma I can help test changes related to this.
(In reply to John Nielsen from comment #1) Thanks. I (or someone) will get back to you when working in this if needed.
I just wanted to confirm that FreeBSD 13.1 amd64 ISO has the same issue as of Parallels v17.1.4 and the same workaround still works. I'm also happy to test if needed. Bob
I'm trying to install using Parallels 18.0.3 (Intel Mac, using Ventura OS 13.0), and even with the workaround described, I'm still unable to get past the error. :(
