Is there an online guide for the bios? I cannot find where to disable secure boot. I have another machine with secure boot and I am unable to get any successful installation either with freebsd 11.0 amd64 release or dragonfly 4.8. Apparently I install the system correctly, but no bootloader installs. I have to use mbr style where it works. I tried doing a Gpart command but there was no internet available to send :( Thanks 4 your suggestion, I will have 2 try this again on Tues of next week. Best regards Antonio
