To get autobooting to work, I had to edit the file /boot/etc/kboot.conf = on my SSD. I had to add the line 'default=3DFreeBSD'. So it reads now: tuexen@blackbird:~ % cat /boot/etc/kboot.conf=20 default=3DFreeBSD FreeBSD=3D'/kernel/kernel kernelname=3D/boot/kernel/kernel = vfs.root.mountfrom=3Dufs:/dev/ada0p2' I figured that out by finding = https://github.com/open-power/petitboot/issues/49 The system automatically boots now into FreeBSD... Now I have to figure out what the missing USB support is about. Best regards Michael >=20 > based on my experiences with the new box sitting at my left elbow :-) > So, it's possible to make it work.
