I forgot to mention that you need to use efibootmgr(8) to set up the boot manager in the existing efi partition, I have no idea how to set up haiku, but you should use loader.efi as the boot code for FreeBSD. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683 On Sun, Mar 21, 2021 at 7:55 AM Kevin Oberman <rkoberman@gmail.com> wrote: > On Sun, Mar 21, 2021 at 3:41 AM LuMiWa via freebsd-questions < > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> wrote: > >> Hi! >> >> I bought first laptop in my life (Thinkpad T495) and I have a few >> questions, please: >> Laptop is with Windows 10 on which I never had (from DOS to FreeBSD and >> OS/2 and Linux between) and I do not want to keep on, security boot is >> enabled. >> I like to install Haiku and FreeBSD.
