What did you choose for disk layout (UFS, ZFS, or manual) ?=20 If you used the manual option you may have missed a step to install the = boot loader. Take a look at the man page for gpart and the section on = BOOTSTRAPPING here = https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=3Dgpart&apropos=3D0&sektion=3D0&= manpath=3DFreeBSD+10.1-RELEASE&arch=3Ddefault&format=3Dhtml and the = examples at the end. > I have tried this install on two different disks on this machine > with the same results (changing the BIOS to get to the 2nd disk).
