Hello Folks,

The release 9.10 FreeNAS supports booting UEFI?

Thank You,
Danilo.

Hello pirateghost,

I've seen this page, thank you.

But in practice it does not work. Not enough to hold the boot.

I wonder if anyone has had the same problem And how to solve.

Danilo.

What problem? You haven't stated any problem.

It works with uefi

 

[Danilo Perillo Chiacchio]

Hello,
The problem is that not performing the booting UEFI. I am using an HP server Gen9.

Apparently it does not detect the installation media (USB Key or CD drive).

Any suggestions or tips?

Thank You.

Is the system BIOS set to either the legacy BIOS firmware interface or EFI as noted in that link?

 

[Danilo Perillo Chiacchio]

Hello dlavigne,

Using legacy BIOS functions. However, I would like to use UEFI.

That's not supported at the moment. What do you hope to gain? Secure boot?

Hello Ericloewe,

Thank you for your feedback.

I would like to use UEFI boot for large GPT partitions and for test purposes.

There is something formal certifying that does not support UEFI?

Thank You Again,
Danilo.

You're saying you need partitions over 2TB on your boot pool and they're not bootable in legacy BIOS mode despite being GPT?

 

[Danilo Perillo Chiacchio]

No. When I'm using legacy BIOS'm not using GPT partitions.

I would like to install FreeNAS using booting UEFI to understand how it works and for test purposes.

In doc.freenas.org it is mentioned that supports EFI. So I'm confused.

Understood?

I still don't understand. FreeNAS 9.3 and later boot from a GPT partition.

You mention a Gen 9 HP server. Please provide detailed hardware information. Hopefully you are not using hardware RAID.

The main question and the FreeNas supports booting efi, okay? The boot partition through the GPT goi successful.
