FreeBSD installation issue (hardware in comments) reddit / BSD ---------------------------------------------------------------------- vladivakh · 2021-10-30 18:38 I7 10700K GTX 1660 super Asus RoG Z490-G Gaming WiFi ---------------------------------------------------------------------- eg_taco · 2021-10-30 19:37 Does anything get printed out when you press `ctrl-t`? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- brenicus · 2021-10-30 20:23 check your instillation media, it might not work if you use one flashdrive too much ---------------------------------------------------------------------- vladivakh · 2021-10-30 20:35 Maybe it is it... I flashed TOO MANY systems using this drive ---------------------------------------------------------------------- brenicus · 2021-10-30 20:36 yea, try a different one, i did the last os when i was having issues ---------------------------------------------------------------------- vladivakh · 2021-10-30 20:59 No, zero response ---------------------------------------------------------------------- vermaden · 2021-10-30 22:49 I assume that its 13.0. As suggested in the comments already try different medium and verify that fetched images has proper checksum. It it still fails the same then try 14-CURRENT snapshot instead. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Puzzleheaded_Bass_59 · 2021-10-31 00:01 I think you might have to change your boot settings to either UEFI or BIOS. This done during the installation phase of the OS. Set it according to your computer ‘s configuration. Not sure but it might be the issue Thanks & Best Regards Schroter ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IanArcad · 2021-10-31 06:27 Try it on another machine as a test. Also what software are you using to crete the memory stick? On Windows, Rufus is the best and I think it has a verify step. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- qci · 2021-10-31 07:10 Can you move the mouse cursor I can see there? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- silent_wall · 2021-10-31 07:51 Sorry this sub just got randomly recommended to me, what is a BSD? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- vladivakh · 2021-10-31 07:55 It is an alternative OS, for more privacy and security ---------------------------------------------------------------------- vladivakh · 2021-10-31 07:55 Yes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- vladivakh · 2021-10-31 07:56 I am using BalenaEtcher on Linux (Manjaro) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- silent_wall · 2021-10-31 07:56 Ohhhhhh, ok ty ---------------------------------------------------------------------- vladivakh · 2021-10-31 08:02 No problem! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- vladivakh · 2021-10-31 08:17 Tried another drive: nothing ---------------------------------------------------------------------- qci · 2021-10-31 08:30 It might be, you have a problem with the console on UEFI/BIOS, like others mentioned already. Try some other BIOS settings. Sometimes there is also a new firmware available that fixes BIOS bugs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- vladivakh · 2021-10-31 08:37 OpenBSD boots, I don't know if it is the issue... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- paprok · 2021-10-31 09:58 > what is a BSD Berkeley Software Distribution. back in the Unix heyday there were two main flavours - AT&T/Bell Labs Unix (which became System V) and BSD Unix. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- baryluk · 2021-10-31 12:32 Try using integrated graphics. If still doesn't work. Try integrates graphics with GPU removed. Also try different usb port. Including usb 2.0 ports. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- brenicus · 2021-10-31 14:28 idk than ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Brilliant-Network-28 · 2021-10-31 15:20 Is it linux? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- vladivakh · 2021-10-31 15:32 No, BSD is Unix Like, but not Linux ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Brilliant-Network-28 · 2021-10-31 15:33 Ah ok. Thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Get0utCl0wn · 2021-10-31 16:09 OBSD and FBSD take different approaches when it boots up...I'd check your BIOS for Legacy mode or equivalent for testing. You may need to change your /boot/loader.conf as well. Safe to assume that you only installed and attempted a first boot, or have you made changes?
