That worked for me on an Inspiron 1180. (It also made W10 unbootable - apparently each OS occupies its own universe.)

But before doing that if you still want installed MS Windows to boot after switch, do this: https://www.mysysadmintips.com/windows/clients/771-change-sata-operation-mode-from-raid-to-ahci-without-re-installing-windows Valeri > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
