I am sure this could be fixed easily. I have found some information over the net about buggy nvidia driver in UEFI mode. I have experienced repeatedly system crash when running Xorg+nVidia. I have made a PR :-) https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D201785 > Hmm, this is something you should definitely make a PR for, if you can. Y= our description makes it seem like the BSDInstall scripts are a bit behind = the actual UEFI boot stack. I will, thank you :-) > Thank you for describing your use case. This is valuable information :) You are most welcome :-) Thank you guys for great work! I really consider FreeBSD to be my favorite OS! Even after switching to OSX I came back to FreeBSD. Now I can safely work on OSX and FreeBSD and avoid Windows and Linux :-) :-) Best regards! :-) Tomek --=20 CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
