Hi Folks,
I've been trying to install the stock UEFI memstick of 10.2 RELEASE on
an Acer V5-122P laptop.
Its UEFI BIOS seems to work ok (it installs and boots Windows 10 fine).
When I choose the USB drive from the boot menu to start the install, I
get no further than the loader. All I see on screen is:
>> FreeBSD EFI boot block
Loader path: /boot/loader.efi
panic: Load failed
Putting the memstick into another machine, everything looks like it is
in the correct place:
# gpart show /dev/da8
=> 3 15663099 da8 GPT (7.5G)
3 1600 1 efi (800K)
1603 32 2 freebsd-boot (16K)

# mount /dev/da8p3 /mnt

# umount /mnt
# mount -t msdosfs /dev/da8p1 /mnt
# ls -al /mnt/efi/boot/
total 65
drwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 512 Apr 26 2014 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 512 Apr 26 2014 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 65536 Apr 26 2014 BOOTx64.efi
# umount /mnt
How can I get some more useful information out to start debugging this?
Paul.
