From: Joseph Mingrone <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected], Allan Jude <[email protected]>, "Teske\, Devin" <[email protected]> Subject: RE:misc/184910:bootcode not installed correctly by bsdinstall Date: Tue, 31 Dec 2013 09:49:20 -0400 I can confirm there is still a problem with 10RC3. Background: The X220 has a quirk/feature/bug in that it refuses to boot from a GPT partitioned disk if you select "legacy boot" in the BIOS. This apparently is a problem for GNU/Linux users as well. So, we're stuck with MBR partition schemes until UEFI booting is supported. Here is the bsdinstall_log from an attempt to install MBR/ZFS/GELI: http://ftfl.ca/misc/bsdinstall_log. Like Max, I'm told there is no OS installed after rebooting. After bsdinstall finishes if I try to manually add the boot code with # gpart bootcode -b /boot/mbr ada0 # gpart set -a active -i 1 ada0 # dd if=/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/ada1s1 count=1 # dd if=/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/ada1s1a skip=1 seek=1024 the two dd commands return operation not permitted errors even when setting kern.geom.debugflags=0x10. Now after I reboot I see an error about not having ufs filesystems. If there is anything else I can test, just let me know.
