Acer TravelMate B118-M-C8ZX P/N: NX.VHSER.00N laptop Intel Celeron N4120 11.6", Latest BIOS 1.33. Hardware: internal eMMC 64 GB. If I install FreeBSD 14.1-BETA1 or BETA2 on the eMMC (in ZFS auto mode), after rebooting and pressing F2 to enter BIOS, there is no SETUP entry. It will just be a blinking cursor. If you preconfigure F12 Boot Menu in BIOS, then after installing and rebooting FreeBSD pressing F12 is fine, F12 Boot Menu startup is OK. Workaround: press F12 Boot Menu at laptop startup, boot from FreeBSD USB srick and remove FreeBSD from eMMC, then after rebooting and pressing F2 entering SETUP is successful. As it turns out, if the laptop BIOS sees partitions on the eMMC with _unknown_ [FreeBSD] filesystems, particularly FreeBSD [ZFS], it will not let you into BIOS SETUP. Workaround FreeBSD: format the eMMC to FAT32 FS, and install FreeBSD on a 2.5" 7mm SATA SSD connected to the laptop via Acer's proprietary connector. Then the eMMC FAT32 can be used for Archive, and FreeBSD can run on the SATA SSD 2.5" 7mm. And after reboot, the Acer BIOS/UEFI login will be successful.
