Hi, all. I'd like to see FreeBSD running on a new class of box I've got here. Not new hardware. These are Atom chips on Micro-ITX motherboards, and are interesting in that they are low-power and have dual gigabit NICs. They're UEFI-only. These boxes seem to not like the FreeBSD 12.1 .iso files as written to USB sticks, but I could boot the installer with an .img. That said, the resulting system as installed seems to freeze in precisely the same place as the .iso-files-written-to-USB froze. I took a photo of the freeze, and then realized that it was the same as when I was trying to boot from the USB stick the first time. I've got a photo of it in the bug I've just opened to complement this email, along with dmesg from NetBSD and Linux: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=249226 What's different between the .iso and the .img files, and how might that translate to the installed system, if that's not a red herring? And how might I get these boxes to boot FreeBSD? The boxes don't have build-in storage so I'm installing and booting from USB drives, so making modifications from another system to test things ought to be fairly straightforward. Addendum: To try -current in case it was a known issue, I downloaded the mini-memstick.img, but it freezes in the same place. -- Mason Loring Bliss mason_at_blisses.org They also surf, who only stand on waves.
