Thanks for taking the time to respond, Gary.
I installed the latest FreeBSD 13 memstick image (UEFI) yesterday
and had no problem booting it. I used manual disk partitioning.
In fact, when I added the / partition the installer automatically
created and populated the EFI boot partition for me.
Same here. But in spite of it. The reboot proved to be unsuccessful. :(
I used UEFI because that was already set in the BIOS and the
computer doesn't belong to me.
LEGACY mode should still work as long as the BIOS offers that.
My main FreeBSD 13 box uses LEGACY booting.
My BIOS offers both. Yet neither option proved fruitful. :(
