After rebooting the screen displays "Operating System Not Found" and refuses to boot. I've double checked the bios settings to ensue this disk is the default boot target and tested booting from both legacy bios and UEFI to no avail. The system is a lenove thinkpad x120e. I'm curious if this is a bug in the installer anyone else has experienced. I created the usb install flash drive with the following command: dd if=3DFreeBSD-10.0-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img of=3D/dev/ bs= =3D64k Then confirmed the sha256 checksum of both the 'if' and 'of' targets. I also tried with multiple different usb flash drives. For a majority of the steps during the install I selected the default/recommended options and chose the guided partitioning method with a default layout using the entire disk which created a GPT layout with three partitions freebsd-boot, freebsd-ufs, and freebsd-swap. The install process finished without error. Is there a boot flag I need to set on the freebsd-boot partition? Thanks, Eric =
