A friend of mine gave me a new hard drive and we installed void-linux with a 1GB /boot partition, an 8 GB swap partitionx and a 100GB / for the install. Installation suceeded, but grub install failed some ttx? Error. I then got a regular x86_64 amd freebsd 11.0 RELEASE and installed it sucessfully as well. I did not get questioned to install bootloader. When booting the machine tries to boot off the network. I get a supergrubdisk and boot off it and I am able to run freebsd-update on it get it to -p9 and install pkgs that I want to run. I am not very fond of secure boot and I had installed linux on another machine with windows 7 and it supposedly had EFI support, however when grub installed, i lost the ability to boot into windows. In this machine a toshiba satellite laptop, I tried to play it safe and instead cannot boot either void-linux or freebsd from the hard drive. I can boot into freebsd with supergrubdisk, i don't believe it is a question of EFI because I had previously installed DragonflyBSD 4.8 which has support for EFI and I selected it as well, but the system was unbootable as well. How should I troubleshoot this? I can boot from live media, but I cannot install grub or the freebsd bootloader. Hard drive is 465 GB, with the above mentioned linux partitions, the rest for freebsd with ufs. If there is a how to, or a laptop wiki on this topic, I appreciate all your help even if it would be recommended that I reinstall the OS again from scratch. I am confused with GPT vs old style MBR which just worked TM by the way and this secure boot crap which renders our machines unbootable. Best Regards, Antonio
