https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D214582 Bug ID: 214582 Summary: FreeBSD 11.0 Release Installer Doesn't Boot on Certain Non-UEFI Systems (HP xw4600) Product: Base System Version: 11.0-RELEASE Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: cwr@core.cwross.com CC: freebsd-amd64@FreeBSD.org CC: freebsd-amd64@FreeBSD.org Attempting to boot the following images on an HP xw4600 workstation fails; = the system does not recognize the boot media: FreeBSD-11.0-RELEASE-amd64-mini-memstick.img FreeBSD-11.0-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img I believe this issue could be related to the new install images that now ha= ve combined BIOS and UEFI functionality. I suggest this because I am able to boot a 10.3 BIOS image without a problem (FreeBSD-10.3-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img). I am also able to boot many Linux installer images using the same hardware. I have verified the checksums and attempted writing the images several time= s to known good USB drives. The system contains an Intel Core 2 Duo E8300 @ 2.83 GHz, 4096 MB RAM. Sorry for the limited information, but this is the most I can provide witho= ut further guidance. I am happy to provide more information upon request. Thank you! --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
