Hi Joe, What FreeBSD version you have installed and what version you're trying to boot? Did it happen after some update? Please give more details on what you have. Boot using USB stick works only for some sticks, older ones have more chances of success. You may also try to boot an older kernel typing "boot kernel.old" on boot prompt (in case an older kernel is available) []'s Alfredo On Fri, Jul 17, 2020 at 7:11 PM Joe Nosay <superbisquit@gmail.com> wrote: > > My apologies beforehand; but, this is the only place where such questions > may be answered. > 1.
