I already tried and did a reset. It seems that one has to select first a propper boot option and there is the problem. Once a media has been inserted either as a bootable disk, bootable USB flash or (not tested) CDROM, the firmware offers at the option entry Boot the option new boot entry. I have first to give the option a name, then select from a (cryptic) list of definitions how the firmware addresses the controler/device/partition/bootimage et ceterum (Select File System) and then, the worst thing, Path for boot option. Leaving this empty renders any USB UEFI formated flash device unbootable. For FreeBSD booting, I had to issue "\efi\boot\bootx64.efi" - this worked also with a preinstalled Windows10 HOME hdd I "borrowed" to test, so I do not know the syntax of this option. Knowing this, I was able to boot Xubuntu 19.04 from USB flash, XigmaNAS 12.1 from USB flash, Windows10 HOME from a HDD and I was luckily able to boot one time XigmaNAS to install the software onto a SSD and even this worked - until a certain point where FreeBSD fails! Starting with FreeBSD 11.3-RELENG, FreeBSD 12.1-RELENG, FreeBSD 13-CURRENT, the box is bootimg and is then freezing at the point, where the console shows EFI framebuffer informations (see PR 209821,=20 https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D209821). CURRENT (r355406) is freezing while showing some ATA device details.=20 =20 The AMI BIOS is at 2.10.1208 from 4th Nov 2012. There is a newer firmware available, but I can't install the firmware: while being able to UEFI USB flahes, it is impossible to boot FreeDOS 1.1 from an USB flash drive, even having properly set Legacy Boot ROM in PCIe/PnP/etc options in the firmware. I never have had such a confusing BIOS/firmware.
