The bug i noticed is reported by the FreeBSD's testing stuff in the wiki he= re<https://wiki.freebsd.org/Laptops#Laptop_support>; for the O.S. version 10= .1. The anomalous / error message is very persistent in the 11.2 release, b= ut it doesn't appear/happen each time running the setup. (By the USB stick = image). That's strange. I have not the latest update of the BIOS (of 17 agoust 2018), but I have th= e "UEFI version". Simply turing off the Laptop and switching it on after about 12 hours, the = bug seems fixed. The sysinstall is totally clean and also the dmsg. I don't know what it depend on, probably is a good idea updating the BIOS e= ven if FreeBSD can be installed with the UEFI version. So thanks guys. Lorenzo. Nel portatile non so come usare diversi tty perch=E9 il tasto F* c= orrispondono a Delle funzioni (volume etc). Come hai notato il "bug" nel mio modello di Dell era gi=E0 stato rilevato d= agli sviluppatori, per=F2 con le ultime versioni del BIOS (rispetto a quand= o =E8 stato testato, io ho una versione del BIOS pi=F9 recente), scompare = totalmente, almeno se si usa la penna USB. Tuttavia nella mia configurazion= e con la penultima versione del BIOS, l'avviso =E8 altalenante. Cio=E8 se s= i reinstalla, pu=F2 ricomparire.

Can you try a different drive, as well as a different USB port? > [...] also after did the installation in the OS environment. This is the only piece of text I don't understand, sorry. :-) > Is > there a way to install the OS on my Laptop ? There are basically two ways: 1. Download the USB image and write it to a USB stick. Boot from that USB stick - the laptop will have a boot sequence configured in the CMOS setup, so check if it will try to boot from USB, or use the boot media menu (usually PF12) to select USB when the system starts. 2. Remove the hard disk from the system and use a USB<->disk adapter to install FreeBSD to the disk, then put it back into the laptop and have it boot. Perform all further configurations with that installed OS. I'd suggest you try the 1st way first - it's also a way to verify your USB connection on the laptop is working properly. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
