The system is an HP Pavilion 580-137c with UFI BIOS. First I tossed windows and
did a Guided GPT install setting up partitions as I normally do. I got this
system as a Poudriere build system. So I installed Poudriere + necessary ports
and built a repository. All this worked fine. So as I had "little" invested in
this system I thought I would install zfs. I used the install zfs root option
taking all defaults. After that the system would not boot. The only difference I
could see was bsdinstall no longer offered ACPI as an option and the console
came up with a higher resolution (1024x768 I think). From here I tried all sorts
of BIOS setting, secure boot on/off and some other variations. In all cases, the
install went without error and the system would not boot giving no messages,
just a black screen.
So I went back to the guided GPT install. Using the livecd I ran fsck on each of
the ufs slices and then mounted them. This all worked fine but still booting
from disk gave only a black screen. so line I tried:
gpart set -a active /dev/ada0
gpart set -a bootme -i 1 /dev/ada0
Currently I have:
gpart show

/dev/ada0p1 looks ok: in efi/boot
ls -l

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 12 Apr 16 10:12 startup.nsh*
however now booting from the disk gives the following:
Boot Device Not Found
Please install an operating system on your hard disk.
This is formatted as white on blue in a centered box. I assume is from the BIOS.
