Title: new install hangs
Post by: greghi on October 17, 2021, 12:47:49 AM
Hi all, just to start I am a newbie and this is my very first install of this sw.  My hardware is a HP elite 8200 sff with 20gb of ram, 500 gb Samsung SSD, intel i7 cpu, with 2 qnap intel based 2.5gb nics (I will not be using the built in 1gb nic). I downloaded the DVD version and I can boot from the dvd with no issues. But when I ran the install to install to the hard drive  But when it boots from the hard disk it hangs. see attached picture.   Any thoughts and suggestions?
Thx, Greg

Situation for UEFI boot on certain HP hardware might get better with 22.1 as we change the operating system version (from HardenedBSD 12.1 to FreeBSD 13).
