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 64kb freebsd-boot
ada0p2 927GB freebsd-ufs /
ada0p3 4GB freebsd-swap none
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…).
Thanks-
Russ M.
