--000000000000bd7b5e05fb7da619 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" I run the latest uefi bios firmware available for my motherboard. So, in your opinion, there is something wrong with it? Is this problem somehow related to this problem: https://www.mail-archive.com/stable@freebsd.org/msg00235.html ? As I mentioned earlier, my motherboard is Asus Prime 7590-P Wifi. The PC is connected to my monitor and there is absolutely nothing connected to the PC's serial port. If there is a bug in my motherboard's UEFI implementation, is it possible to add code to the stand implementation of FreeBSD that will find a way around this bug?.. Please think of something... I definitely want to see the graphical orb logo in the FreeBSD boot menu! On Fri, May 12, 2023, 6:55 AM Toomas Soome <tsoome@me.com> wrote: > > > On 12.
