The first ssd (ada0, OCZ Trion 100 240 GB) is sliced up as follows
root@kg-vm4:~ # gpart show -p ada0 => 34 468862061 ada0 GPT (224G) 34 204800 ada0p1 efi (100M) 204834 115343360 ada0p2 freebsd-ufs (55G) stable/10, currently FreeBSD 10.2-release 115548194 8388608 ada0p3 freebsd-swap (4.0G) 123936802 344925293 - free - (164G)
the second ssd (Intel 530 Series 180GB) is currently sliced up like this

2017-06-03: ada0p2 - fix the filesystem on the efi partition. first, backup what's on it:
root@kg-vm4:~ # mkdir ~/backup root@kg-vm4:~ # cp -pv /media/efi/boot/BOOTx64.efi ~/backup /media/efi/boot/BOOTx64.efi -> /root/backup/BOOTx64.efi root@kg-vm4:~ # cp -pv /media/efi/debian/grubx64.efi ~/backup /media/efi/debian/grubx64.efi -> /root/backup/grubx64.efi
unmount and recreate filesystem
root@kg-vm4:~ # umount /media root@kg-vm4:~ # newfs_msdos -F 32 /dev/ada0p1 newfs_msdos: trim 50 sectors to adjust to a multiple of 63 /dev/ada0p1: 204512 sectors in 12782 FAT32 clusters (8192 bytes/cluster) BytesPerSec=512 SecPerClust=16 ResSectors=32 FATs=2 Media=0xf0 SecPerTrack=63 Heads=16 HiddenSecs=0 HugeSectors=204750 FATsecs=100 RootCluster=2 FSInfo=1 Backup=2
mount it and put stuff back
root@kg-vm4:~ # mount -t msdosfs /dev/ada0p1 /media root@kg-vm4:~ # df -h /media Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ada0p1 100M 24K 100M 0% /media
looks better now
do Debian
root@kg-vm4:~ # mkdir -p /media/efi/debian root@kg-vm4:~ # cp -pv ~/backup/grubx64.efi /media/efi/debian /root/backup/grubx64.efi -> /media/efi/debian/grubx64.efi
do FreeBSD
root@kg-vm4:~ # mkdir -p /media/efi/boot root@kg-vm4:~ # cp -pv ~/backup/BOOTx64.efi /media/efi/boot /root/backup/BOOTx64.efi -> /media/efi/boot/BOOTx64.efi
also create one with a proper name
root@kg-vm4:~ # mkdir -p /media/efi/FreeBSD root@kg-vm4:~ # cp -pv ~/backup/BOOTx64.efi /media/efi/FreeBSD /root/backup/BOOTx64.efi -> /media/efi/FreeBSD/BOOTx64.efi
ok.
2017-06-03: ada0p2 - the filesystem on the EFI partition is too small partition
root@kg-vm4:~ # gpart show -p ada0 => 34 468862061 ada0 GPT (224G) 34 204800 ada0p1 efi (100M) 204834 115343360 ada0p2 freebsd-ufs (55G) 115548194 8388608 ada0p3 freebsd-swap (4.0G) 123936802 344925293 - free - (164G)
the esp is 100M, ok
filesystem
root@kg-vm4:~ # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ada0p2 53G 915M 48G 2% / devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev /dev/ada0p1 767K 66K 701K 9% /mnt
here we can see that ada0p1 is only 767K, which is a bit small.
2017-06-03: ada0p2 - still FreeBSD 10.2-release:
root@kg-vm4:~ # uname -a FreeBSD kg-vm4.kg4.no 10.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE #0 r286666: Wed Aug 12 15:26:37 UTC 2015 root@releng1.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
ok.
2016-01-04: ada0p2 - I installed FreeBSD 10.2-release in EFI mode by booting from the UEFI image. I changed disk layout from default (auto guided) to
efi 100M (was 800k) / (root) 55G swap 4G
On reboot, the machine would not boot from the SSD, no matter what I tried in UEFI settings. However, I can go into the built in UEFI shell and execute
fs0:\efi\boot\BOOTx64.efi and the boot loader starts and boots. Case doesn't matter, I can do fs0:\efi\boot\bootx64.efi also.
2016-01-04: I booted FreeBSD 10.2-release, the UEFI image, off a usb stick (Kingston DataTraveler 8 GB). Yes, it boots in UEFI mode, automatically and via boot menu (F11).
2015-10-25: I booted FreeBSD 10.2-release off a usb stick, now the network card was detected and working (it is alc0). dmesg output: normal.
2015-10-25: I booted FreeBSD 10.0-release off a usb stick, but the network card wasn't detected. dmesg output: normal.
