The context is a wholly freebsd-12-stable system. No dual-boot. The reason I want the usb key is to experiment with various configs in a safe environment. The key is 32GB, on = it I've made an 8GB swap partition and have installed freebsd to the remaining space. It all installed OK but now when I go into the bios and select the key to boot, it gets looked at then proceeds to load the normal HD environment as = it would if the key was not plugged in at all.=20 I suspect something needs to be added in the config on the key to make it bootable. Can anyone tell me what that would be please? I know that with MBR one has a flag, somewhere. It's normally turned on as part of the install. I don't know where though. Is it the same with GPT ? =20 thanks, --=20 J. --gj572EiMnwbLXET9 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEE8n3tWhxW11Ccvv9/s8o7QhFzNAUFAl5SkhcACgkQs8o7QhFz NAWSeA/+MzqPpSx5jCYajwxDy13DTaXH6+pHfK73s5BsCM+FyB11ppkfmfFA5uJb q84wOYiscQb63SseqUyEuc8EKg8s/YMKb/LVxfVegYP5LCHanvDozQS1j3GcTc2s n/Zx+NDagXW1r9C32gex9UICvkSRNRtFcU0g5PTcxYTvo3A80bIhvt0eC5LCIoLs NWs/ACgoweVgUwTbwYvMXBV3F/2Y/R5VkKMK5hmPOiB2ldLgmsvyiOv4VlRSeXGL uFtcL5k6iFc8PA15up36Crog8FNNFyNDLXZRL0lGKIWI3E6w1Jp/U8NUeqb+MLlU D3O8Z6K6dVbMGXOCTDuYTGDgMFMV19xQa/9z895fdud2DfLVAh0rrGvsiWSRUGk/ 0bCe4FkPOdNn9vC9XSTQLjdvhvLUH2iklqpXyVkVJybSKq51JIu3+/FWvoCSbeAo mM2RPWhk5N51kLdpTE32r/MLt/0TR4ZxlOWKc/lmYx1tUtv0UJpVbeHBcVRVxa2e kifUdYQ/oJ9j48SoO4sFJzSS9WCDo21LXEcg8/hx/W4OLRMYnqV9W6CF7Vj0lvkZ y1HUmmRMqbAQiaCLXnyctJGUGGum2sfzQNmC3sjTiRrPW+oihkHHyGwoZhFc1600 vvda4dZGf/HL1DfEpeGW9cyzvUNWyyYyh2ADlESpA8b3qQYfqsY= =rIKz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --gj572EiMnwbLXET9--
