I'm using FreeNAS 11.2 beta 2 (new UI).
I created a 16-core VM with 16 GB RAM, 1 GB zvol, UEFI boot, added the ESXi installation ISO, and enabled VNC.
ESXi installer boots and loads modules, then at the last minute shuts off with an error message that mentions firmware and UEFI (not sure exactly what the whole message says since it's fleeting).
I tried using UEFI-CSM as an alternative, but that won't even boot the ISO ("Boot Failed. CDROM 0").
Any ideas?
Edit: caught the full message. "Shutting down firmware services..." "Using 'simple offset' UEFI RTS mapping policy" "Relocating modules and starting up the kernel..."
So it's not really an error message, but then it goes to black screen and a bhyve process sticks at 103-108% CPU.
