Hi to all! Sorry for my bad English... This message is translated with help of the translator's online. You could comment on a situation with my nettop Intel NUC DN2820FYKH (CPU Celeron N2830)? This NUC was delivered with pre-installed BIOS 0032. With this version BIOS I am could install FreeBSD 10 and 11-CURRENT. In next version of BIOS 0034 and later installing was a problems. Message of other user, NUC DN2820 can't recognize FreeBSD bootsect. https://communities.intel.com/message/245413 My situation: --- FreeBSD-10.1-STABLE-usb-stick.img (May 5 2015) after #dd: ls /dev/da* /dev/da0 /dev/da0a # Probable this is MBR structure? FreeBSD-11-CURRENT-usb-stick.img (May 5 2015) after #dd: ls /dev/da* /dev/da0 /dev/da0p1 /dev/da0p2 /dev/da0p3 /dev/da0p4 # Probable this is GPT structure? --- And probable the Bug of Intel BIOS for NUC 2820 (N2830): 0032 BIOS can start MBR FreeBSD-10.1-usb-stick installer, bsdinstall by default offers GPT structure for HDD. 0032 successfully run FreeBSD from GPT HDD. Also 0032 can start GPT FreeBSD-11-CURRENT-usb-stick installer, bsdinstall by default offers MBR structure for HDD? (or use last MBR-HDD setting). After install 0032 successfully start FreeBSD-11-CURRENT from HDD. But with modern BIOS (for example 0050 - latest at this time): 0050 BIOS can start MBR FreeBSD-10.1-usb-stick installer, bsdinstaller by default offers GPT HDD structure. If install 10.1 with default settings and start 10.1 from HDD -> Error. If GPT HDD manually changed to MBR HDD, then 10.1 successfully starts from HDD. But 11-CURRENT-usb-stick has GPT structure and BIOS 0050 can't run it from USB. :-(( Workaround: Reflash 0032 -> Install FreeBSD-11-CURRENT -> OK -> Reflash 0050 -> 11-CURRENT starts OK from MBR HDD. Question: if this situation doesn't be fixed by Intel, how NUC 2820(2830) new versions of BIOS users can start FreeBSD-11 without BIOS reflashing, if FreeBSD-11-stick.img will be only at GPT structure? --- best regards, Dmitry Postolov dip-freebsd_at_yandex.ruReceived on Sun May 10 2015 - 11:33:03 UTC
