Description Alex Bylund 2024-03-04 10:32:08 UTC 
This is a consumer bug report.

On a new install, setting up with one UFS partition with swap and the rest unparitioned, the OS will fail to boot.

In the BIOS boot manager it will list "FreeBSD" and "UEFI OS" - if installed fully partitioned it only lists "UEFI OS" and will successfully boot.

This is with Intel RST, and a 512gb nvme and a 2tb ssd. It might just be something to do with multiple drives.
Comment 2 Alex Bylund 2024-03-08 23:02:25 UTC 
At the moment RST should be disabled to avoid a performance decrease. The installer code shows if there are more than 1 disk it will make a prompt, which did not happen. The impression I get is that this will "fix itself" once more work has been done with RST.

Workarounds could be disabling RST, disable one of the drives during install, or manually writing the boot manager/loader.
