Hi all,
I bought one of these mini computers
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084WRRV51?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details
(installer dmesg follows).
6.9 installs just fine but the darn thing will *not* boot from the hard
drive.
I've tried installing using the Whole disk and GPT whole disk--neither
one will boot.
Bios gives me the option to boot from Hard Disk, USB Hard Disk, USB Key,
IPv4, IPv6 and EFI. I've set to Hard Disk, then USB Hard Disk, then USB
Key, then IPv4 and every time it falls through to IPv4.
Try EFI with a GPT-based install.
Thanks, Stuart.
This doesn't work.
Fallback option: find a small USB storage device (sandisk ultra fit or
similar) and leave it in the machine to boot from.
This does--until the boot process panics before it gets very far.
I'm going to try -current just for fun. If that doesn't work I'm just
going to send it back and try something else.
Jeff
