Do you have more detailed information? any error messages, screenshots?
Thanks for the reply, toomas.
It's just the standard BIOS report about non-bootable device, please inset
bootable medium...
IOW it doesn't recognize the freshly installed 13-CURRENT on the hard drive
as being a bootable OS.
I'm wondering what happened between RELENG-12, and 13 that made the change?
Thanks again!
