There is absolutely no reason to believe the two are related, but I ran into a similar issue installing OPNSense (a FreeBSD firewall, https://opnsense.org/) on a Protectli device. I'm just making a wild guess, so don't expect much.
What had to be done on that is to set the see if there is a Boot option filter and, if so, set it to "UEFI only" and see what happens. Sorry if I send you on a "wild goose chase" but, while the hardware and operating systems are different, the symptoms are very similar. The screen "goes away" during install. The original article is at https://protectli.com/kb/how-to-install-opnsense-on-the-vault/ with detailed instructions for the vault (their name for their device) are at: https://protectli.com/kb/how-to-configure-uefi-on-the-vault/ They are using American Megatrends BIOS version 2.18.1263 Rod On 05/29/2019 02:51 PM, Blair, Charles E III via Dng wrote: > I am sorry, I have both mis-stated the > problem I am having and misunderstood some > of the suggestions. > > I have burnt the netinst file for "ASCII" to a CD > and attempted to boot it on a recently purchased > Intel NUC (I disabled "Secure Boot" to get past one > warning).
