Unable to boot installer
Hi Daniel, it seems that there is a problem with UEFI/atkbd, since 7.2 and 8.0 work without any boot problem (BTW that's not a solution because there is no NIC support) and 8.1 and 8.2 hang. I met the same problem with my x220 which is not resolved but you can follow this workaround: 1 - Plug an external USB keyboard 2 - boot with a memstick with 8.2 3 - In the loader: set hint.atkbd.0.disabled=1 boot 4 - Follow install via network or other 5 - Setup BIOS: Config USB UEFI BIOS disabled 6 - reboot You could try with a CD, directly without UEFI, it may work as is (I didn't burn it for the exercise). That's what worked for me.

Unable to boot installer
I'm trying to install FreeBSD on my new laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad X220), and it dies in the middle of the boot, using either the memstick image or the DVD image. (That's all I've tried so far.) I'm using the 8.2 images. The last two lines it shows are: atkbdc0: Keyboard controller (i8042) port 0x60,0x64 irq 1 on acpi0 atkbd0: AT Keyboard irq 1 on atkdbc0 Then it just stops. Any ideas? Any chance I'll be able to get FreeBSD on this laptop? Daniel T. Staal --- This email copyright the author.
