https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D282184 Bug ID: 282184 Summary: Installer fails to create bootable system Product: Base System Version: 14.1-RELEASE Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: net@arrishq.net First maybe the data. Given is a random amd64 system that uses MBR as parti= tion layout. FreeBSD 14 and 14.1 get installed into a BSD slice, e.g. /dev/ada0s2 and on partition /dev/ada0s1 another system is installed, e.g. Windows / OpenBSD ... Running the installer and choosing /dev/ada0s2 to create a "BSD" partition, then s2a, s2b and so on for storing data, the installation runs through. Once done and rebooting, the system hangs and doesn't boot the fresh instal= led FreeBSD. Switching to use the loader of the other installed system, e.g. Windows ... and adding FreeBSD by create a single MBR file (created by dd if=3D/dev/ada0s2 of=3Dfreebsd.mbr bs=3D512 count=3D1 or dd if=3D/dev/ada0s2a of=3Dfreebsd.mbr bs=3D512 count=3D1) doesn't work either. Booting from installation media, escaping to loader prompt and setting "vfs.root.mountfrom=3Dufs:/dev/ada0s2a" the system boots. Out of fun trying to grab an old FreeBSD 10 installation doing the exact sa= me process, the boot process works fine without any problems. $USER is aware everyone moves along with gpart and GPT partitions, recommen= ding to reinstall everything and choose GPT doesn't solve the problem. The whole process has been reproduced on 2 different (physical) systems. Basically MBR partition layout, install into a BSD partition, no booting possible. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
