Running CURRENT as routing and firewalling appliance on a PCengines APU 2C4 with the
latest (official) SEABios available for this product, NanoBSD (FreeBSD CURRENT FreeBSD
12.0-CURRENT #60 r335278: Sun Jun 17 07:57:20 CEST 2018 amd64)is unable to boot recent
OS at the first stage (GPT partitioning, SD card memory).

Last known good image without boot issues is FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #52 r335222: Fri Jun 15
20:24:41 CEST 2018 amd64.

The issue is revealing itself by showing nothing but a static screen telling it is
booting from hard disk where usually the rotating indicator popps up.
Booting the  APUwith  my installation USB device and "gpart -b pmbr -p /boot/gptboot -i 2
mmcsd0" - which is a quite old image from December 2017 by the way, made the SD card
booting again - with r335278 now properly.

At the very moment, I do not dare to check whether the bootcode is broken on those boxes
I boot via MBR/GPTBOOT.

Can someone give me some hints how to check this further or is this issue already known?

Kind regards,

oh
