Yes, that did work. It likes the MBR partitioning and Legacy mode. Nothing I have done with GPT has worked.

I switched this query to freebsd-questions a while back and I've gotten good help on that thread. Very sorry that you see this one which has been orphaned, but thank you for taking your time to give me assistance!!! :) > > > You could also try 11.4-RC2 image as it contains come compatibility fixes... At this point, I need to get into "use the system for real work" mode so other things are more pressing than redoing it yet again. It's being used as a mule to re-acquaint myself with FreeBSD and as a demonstration system for Yet Another Social Network project for a client. When he gets his money situation squared away to deploy at scale, FreeBSD will probably have a 14-STABLE branch. Time does march on, and thank you for your work with the FreeBSD Project to make that so! :D -- Don Wilde **************************************************** * What is the Internet of Things but a system * * of systems including humans? * ****************************************************
