I am trying to re-establish a FreeBSD presence on my servers and I am having problems installing it on my development laptop. I'm using 12.1R, installed via the bootonly.iso DVD. This is a hardwired Dell generic i3 laptop, which has successfully been running Linux. The installation -- whole disk, AUTO, GPT, all options selected -- downloads everything and appears to match all checksums and complete successfully but when I reboot, it goes immediately into the PXE boot, failing with no DHCP success. I've tried both Legacy and UEFI BIOS mode and it refuses to recognize the hard drive installation either way. I have tried both 11.3 and 12.1 releases, but have no joy. I have reviewed the errata and I don't see anything describing this major a problem. I didn't see anything in the booting sections of the Handbook, either. I did see one entry in a DuckDuckGo search that said I should use gpartd to associate my ada0 partition with boot0 but I cannot find that listing again. I thought I was using every automatic option possible, but I seem to have missed something. What am I missing? What can I try? -- Don Wilde **************************************************** * What is the Internet of Things but a system * * of systems including humans? * ****************************************************
