So then RELENG-12 is not "Standards" compliant. While = 13-CURRENT is? Can not tell if you do not provide actual information, we can not really = tell too much. However, based on the partition tables below, I can tell = a bit. Those disks are using GPT, there is EFI partition, which does suggest = UEFI boot and not BIOS boot. There is no freebsd-boot partition, meaning = the standard pmbr boot block does not work (if installed) =E2=80=94 pmbr = does search for freebsd-boot and will load its content and jumps on it. = Without seeing your sector 0, I can not tell what code is there (if = any), and based on partitions on that system, it is possible the BIOS = boot is not installed at all. In a similar way, without seeing EFI = partition content, we can not tell if UEFI boot is actually installed - = EFI partition should have FAT file system with specific directory tree. To make things better, the exact description would be helpful, so the = devs taking care of installer could review the information and make = fixes. rgds, toomas > IOW I attempted in early October to install each of the (13-CURRENT) = install > images available.
