Cannot install on HP Pavilion
I'm trying to install FreeBSD 9.1 Release on an HP Pavilion Slimline (model s5-1414); I get through the installation fine, but when I re-boot, the machine gives an: ERROR: No boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed. I looked around for suggestions via mailing list archives, google, and such but no luck (or perhaps the wrong search terms). Details: I've been using FreeBSD for more years than I care to admit (i.e. more than 10); I'm generally pretty familiar with the process and the installer, but am by no means an expert The target machine is a model s5-1414, product # H3Y75AA#ABA I went through the whole process: re0 configured using DHCP * guided partition; using the whole disk ada0 ada0p1 64kbfreebsd-boot ada0p2 927GB freebsd-ufs / ada0p3 4GB freebsd-swapnone commit = yes * fetched distribution files (e.g. base, kernel, doc, games, ports, src) * root password; setup user OK on boot, the error (above) is generated the BIOS is an HP/American Megatrends ver. 2.15.227 relevant (?) settings include: * Storage: SATA Emulation: AHCI Boot Order: (I've tried just about everything), but the relevant part seems to be that the Legacy devices never work * Security: Legacy: enable Secure boot: disable Fast boot: disable Please let me know if there's anything else you would care to know or see. Any ideas or suggestions? (Forgive the email formatting, it's a combination of xemacs and my Mac laptop…).
