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


No change with -current.

For reference, here's the panic and trace, transcribed from photos so I 
hope there aren't too many typos:


ddb{0}>  show panic

I'll also send this in to sendbug.

Unfortunately, the boot process never gets to the boot prompt--it skips 
right over the newly installed hard drive.
