For EFI boot, you need to make sure that file "/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi" file exists on your EFI partition (i.e., ad0s0), which is the default boot code. If that file doesn't exist, you can copy "/boot/boot1.efi" over. You can also refer to the example installation script: /usr/share/examples/rconfig/hammer_uefi.sh But I'm not sure whether VirtualBox's EFI implementation works with DFly's EFI boot loader...

Zotero on DragonFly
Hello! If there is anyone else on DragonFly using Zotero with firefox-esr 52, it seems as though on May 8th firefox-esr 52 becomes depricated in favor of firefox-esr 60. The new versions of Firefox beginning with 57 break compatibility with a number of useful plugins. The Zotero developers have decided to switch to a standalone version that runs on Linux but doesn't seem to have been ported to *BSD (and likely won't be). There was some discussion started by a FreeBSD user on the Zotero forums: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/64450/freebsd-libreoffice-firefox-zotero-java-error My question is has anyone tinkered with the standalone code and found it buildable/usable on DragonFly? If not what are people planning to use for citation manager? Zotero is incredibly useful and user friendly. -- Michael

Hi Stuart, > Is there a reason it wasn't ported over? Or am I missing something and it's > available elsewhere? The multimedia/plexmediaserver contains FreeBSD binaries thus it is not usable on DragonFly.
plex media server on dports
Hi folks, I was wanting to install a plex media server on a box running dragonfly, and after finding a listing in freebsd ports ( https://www.freshports.org/multimedia/plexmediaserver/) I assumed it would be available on dragonfly as well. Looking at the dports tree, it doesn't seem to be there ( https://github.com/DragonFlyBSD/DPorts/tree/master/multimedia). Is there a reason it wasn't ported over? Or am I missing something and it's available elsewhere? Thanks, Stuart
