Dear all, I am trying to manually install the latest DragonFly BSD version (5.8.0) on a UEFI Laptop: ASUS ZENBOOK PRO I7-7700HQ/16GB/512GB SSD BLACK, Notebook mit 15,6 Zoll Display, Core™ i7 Prozessor, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, GeForce® GTX1050, Matte Black. The first partition I need to create is the EFI System Partition (ESP). However, I cannot format it with fat and mount it. Here is the sequence of commands I ran after booting and logging in as root:
gpt destroy nvme0 gpt create -f nvme0 gpt add -i 0 -s 1048576 -t efi nvme0 newfs_msdos /dev/nvme0s0 # here I get the message: "newfs_msdos: /dev/nvme0s0: Read-only file system" mount_msdos /dev/nvme0s0 /mnt # The message here is @mount_msdos: /dev/nvme0s0: Invalid argument"
I refrain on purpose on creating a disklabel partition within nvme0s0 and formatting it, because I plan to install the rEFInd Boot Manager on the ESP, so the ESP has to be readable also by other operating system. Curiously, with the previous DragonFly version I was able to do that.
Thank you very much for your help in advance. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Best regards, Martin
