first search result i found

[rain wraith]

i use an Sata SSD M.2 and it worked just fine on a VM, but it errors on my actual system ?

[chrome prairie]

probably an issue with formatting, or partition scheme?

[rain wraith]

no like i dont do anything

i just boot into FreeBSD installation

[chrome prairie]

there is no such thing as a sata m.2.

[rain wraith]

and it just gives me those errors

[rain wraith]

Yes. There is.

This is a Sata M.2 SSD

[chrome prairie]

a sata drive uses the sata connector, an m.2 uses m.2 connector

[chrome prairie]

oh yeah those things

[rain wraith]

My PC uses a Samsung one

[chrome prairie]

dumb name, theyre just m2s with another ridge on the connector

dualbooting a BSD is an extremely bad idea, btw

[rain wraith]

i tried booting into this iso but it gave me the CAM errors then shoot, it shutdowns

[rain wraith]

Why?

[chrome prairie]

into this iso? so did you write it to the usb or just threw it on there?

[rain wraith]

write it to the usb using Ventoy

[chrome prairie]

ventoy doesnt write anything

[midnight flume]

different filesystems, partition formats, bootloader... its just a whole mess

[chrome prairie]

its just a bootloader for .ISOs

[midnight flume]

if you arent experienced enough to do it its a really bad idea

[midnight flume]

its just grub configured to boot up isos

[chrome prairie]

yeah

thats what i said lmao

[midnight flume]

if you HAVE to, please use a seperate drive

[rain wraith]

did i just reserve like 220 gb for nothing

[rain wraith]

and isnt it just booting to arch linux after installing then getting os-prober and putting the FreeBSD boot entry in it ??

[chrome prairie]

well grub sometimes has a hard time handling the BeeEzzDeez

[rain wraith]

Why ?

[midnight flume]

if you have a seperate drive yes

[rain wraith]

"Yes, using GRUB with FreeBSD on UEFI can be difficult and is often considered more complicated than using the native FreeBSD boot loader
. While it is possible to chainload FreeBSD from GRUB, it requires manual configuration to create a GRUB entry that correctly points to the FreeBSD loader, which doesn't always work easily due to differences in how each operating system's boot process is set up. The native FreeBSD boot loader, which is often used for UEFI, is the recommended and simpler approach. "

hm ok then

fuck freebsd

[midnight flume]

yes

[midnight flume]

LMFAOO

[chrome prairie]

i think easier would be either using bsd boot for linux aswell (still also hard) or pointing to the .efi file

[rain wraith]

or just not using freebsd

[chrome prairie]

sudo pacman -Sybau freebsd is goated

[chrome prairie]

no fuck you freebsd is based

[rain wraith]

no fuck YOU
