When I finally install bootloader now with kern.geom.debugflags=3D16 trick,= =20 it works OK for me too. But not before when there was some MBR written by= =20 Windows. So, never use Windows, it is dangerous, use our protection instead. It=20 prevents any changes. No changes - no mistakes. (perhaps just permanently unplug keyboard to feel even more safe?)
