I was also unsuccessful performing a network install due to what I think was the download filesystem being read only. I was able to install from the bundled distribution.

With FreeBSD 11.1 the latter system needed a freshly written USB stick to be treated with "gpart recover da0 && gpart set -a active da0" before it would boot, so this is certainly an improvement.

In UEFI mode, the BIOS forced secure boot and would not allow me to boot from the image. This laptop is generally not recommended for FreeBSD. I bought it because of the A8 processor and the 1TB disk. But the disk is as slow as molasses and the keyboard tends to drop spaces and returns. The Radeon R5 graphics work in VESA mode, and I was able to get better performance at an earlier stage of 11-STABLE, but I have seemingly forgotten the correct magic to get kernel mode setting to work on 11-BETA.-- George signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Re: Call for Testing: 12.0-CURRENT amd64 memstick installer boot-testing wanted
Hi. Booted as expected on ThinkPad T420. Fixed with descrete (nvidia) GPU, CPU internal GPU is disabled. Both UEFI and Legacy (CSM) boot are enabled. UEFI first : Boot on UEFI mode. [Confirmed efifb is used.] Legecy first: Boot on CSM mode. [Confirmed vt(vga) is used.] UEFI boot is much faster than legacy (CSM) boot. Is firmware version needed?
