Hi.
My board does not have enough USB2 ports for me to use mirror USB sticks to boot and still have keyboard and UPS in there.
SO i was thinking, why not just install on USB3 ? People have been saying USB3 on intel chipset was not bad! Okay ... no problem!
On install disk, i go to shell and i type kldload xhci so that the installer can see my USB3 drive, no problem it loads fine and i install on USB3 drives.
Now ... i need to add a tunable to load xhci every boot ... BUT ... the "escape to loader prompt" is not available so that i can temporarily load the driver during next boot ... Where did it go ??? Before you suggest, my board is super micro and does not have option to make USB3 ports into USB2 in bios.
