What if you installed to a USB drive and tried to boot that ? Do you think it will work ?

    @madamada I just did that, because it was booting fine from the USB drive. Even managed to install FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT on this oldtimer (UFS). ๐Ÿ˜Ž

      So it installs and boots off fine from the USB stick, but not from the drive ?

        @madamada It boots off USB thumb drives and USB SSDs, but not from ATA or SATA drives connected to the motherboard.

        With the USB SSD, even ZFS works with GPT (BIOS).

          Maybe try putting the drive on the slave/secondary IDE..

            @madamada For that I need to put some jumpers on the HDD, right now I dont have any. ๐Ÿ˜…

            For now it's more than enough to use an external USB SSD for the job.
