https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D210029 --- Comment #3 from Vladimir Krstulja <vlad-fbsd@acheronmedia.com> --- Looks like you were installing PCBSD. It is a derivative of FreeBSD (like, = for example, Ubuntu is of Debian) but not quite FreeBSD. It is desktop oriented= and the installer does full stack desktop installation. Of the ISOs on the link I gave you, for FreeBSD proper, the -disc1 is CD and -dvd1 is, well, DVD. To boot from USB, use the -memstick.img. The .xz are xz compressed versions, you'll have to unxz before burning the installation me= dia. The handbook explains it all better: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall.html Note that the USB image is basically a boot only installation media that th= en pulls in the base from the network. The uefi images are required if you can= 't boot in legacy, but my knowledge of efi is too limited to give a good advice beyond this. None of them install a desktop, only the base system. FreeBSD has no default desktop installation. The handbook has more on installing the desktop: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.htmlhttps:= //www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html See chapter 5 and 5.7 Please let us know if using the FreeBSD installation media works or is problematic as well, for this bug report. For support with installing and using, you can drop by at #freebsd on Freenode (IRC), or the forums at: https://forums.freebsd.org/ Thanks, and welcome to FreeBSD! --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
