Hi,
Could folks please help boot-test the most recent 12.0-CURRENT amd64
memstick images on various hardware? Note, this is not a request to
install 12.0-CURRENT, only a boot-test with various system knobs
tweaked.
The most recent images are available at:
https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/snapshots/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/12.0/FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-amd64-20180529-r334337-mini-memstick.img

We are interested in testing both UEFI and CSM/BIOS/legacy mode, as we
would like to get this included in the upcoming 11.2-RELEASE if the
change that had been committed addresses several boot issues reported
recently.
Please help test, and report back (both successes and failures).
Coincidentally, I was trying to install these on a very old 10" Dell
Lattitude with an Atom N550 CPU. Both images booted to the beastie menu
but hung loading the kernel. The only way I could get it to boot was to
manually load the kernel at the loader prompt and boot. 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.
