By clean install I assume you mean you went through the installer process to it’s completion. What did you choose for disk layout (UFS, ZFS, or manual) ? 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=gpart&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+10.1-RELEASE&arch=default&format=html 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). I had an older system that would not boot with a GPT partition, I had to use an MBR partition (I was using ZFS for boot drive). I have also had others report that they needed to set the BIOS to Legacy for SATA controllers instead of AHCI in some cases. -- Paul Kraus paul@kraus-haus.org
