To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.26 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 17 May 2018 07:38:42 -0000 Hi, This may be a weird question, but I've been stuck on this for some time now. I have a HP Probook 440 G3 which I'm using for testing. I managed to install FreeBSD in EFI mode and got it working. But then I realized that Xen does not work with EFI. So I went to my boot options and enabled legacy mode. The problem is, it does not show the USB flash drive in Legacy mode, only in EFI mode. The laptop does not have a CD drive so I can't try to boot using a CD. It does allow me to boot in Legacy from my hard disk, but booting the flash drive in EFI installs FreeBSD in EFI mode so the HDD does not boot when I select Legacy for it. Also, if I try to boot with the USB in my PC, it shows in both the Legacy and EFI menus, so it is not a problem with the USB drive. Is there any way I can install in Legacy mode given the situation? Can I boot the USB in EFI but still install in Legacy mode? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks. -- Regards, Pratyush Yadav
