I was able to setup GPT, partition the drive, install bootcode and all files, added load_nvme="YES" and load_nvd="YES" to loader.conf. But after that I cannot boot from that SSD. The mainboard complains "Reboot and Select proper Boot device ...". It seems that the board cannot boot from the NVME SSD?! It's a Supermicro X10SSL-F. In the BIOS I set PCIE OPROM to EFI and tried both "Legacy Only" and "UEFI only" under "Launch Option OpRom Policy". Any ideas? Regards, Thomas.
