No one of them produced a bootable installation . Previously I have sent the message https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2014-August/051617.html about this issue . The problem is still persisting in Beta 2 . On the same computer , Fedora 21 Alpha is booting very well ( means there is not any hardware problem ) . I did not try 10.1 Beta 3 because there is no any mention of this problem in the announcement message . Thank you very much . Mehmet Erol Sanliturk
