If you get to the EFI shell prompt try "ls -r fs1:", "ls -r > fs2:" etc until you run out of fsN: to try. I did actually try that. Here's a segment of what the EFI shell displays at startup: EFI Shell version 1.10 [14.61] Device mapping table fs0 : Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(2|0)/Ata(Primary,Master)/CDROM(Entry0) fs1 : Acpi(HWP0002,100)/Pci(1|1)/Scsi(Pun2,Lun0)/HD(Part1,SigE696C346-032D-11D8-8002-D6217B60E588) Unfortunately, the FreeBSD device is Scsi(Pun0,Lun0) -- do I have to explicitly add it to the device mapping table? > In my case I did something wrong and the relevant files were never > copied to the EFI partition at all, and I copied them manually in a > holographic shell with the CD. Is there documentation somewhere that describes exactly what files need to be copied? I suspect that's my problem, although I've no clue what I did wrong. :) Cheers! /gdm
