Well, I'm running disks I was running in another system before. I installed them by having a running system on another disk, then setting them up manually from there. I'm kinda particular... And ACPI is working, right? I'm running a Kingston KVR1600D3E11SK4/16G set. I assume you are

Thanks all for respond! I'd try to mix answers and not bother you with no reason. You don't say how big your hard drive is, and if you want to run any OS besides FreeBSD. It shall be ssd drive of 64 gb. Freebsd only, as about 10 years long. You can go into the guided installer to see what

I'm running a M5A97 Evo just fine on -CURRENT, and I'd be shocked it it had any problem with 9 (or 8 or 7, for that matter). Hurrah! I shall get a bit cheaper version, plain m5a97 or pro. Let me ask you further. What option you chose during install? Guided or manual (and what if manual)?

Hi, I had a hard time booting FreeBSD 8.2 on an IBM X3550M3 which is also an UEFI maniac one. I could only boot FreeBSD from an USB DVD and install it from there. Maybe some legacy fallback boot options are availabe for this mobo. I think they have its user manual on their website.

Hi, let me make it very short. UEFI worked for me during my first installation on a UEFI machine. I moved then to 10 and still have no problems. So, if you really fail, install CURRENT and it will work. Of course you are not running then a release system with all the consequences. Erich On
