Hello, Now running TDE under Devuan ascii. SSD has lots of empty space in which I installed FreeBSD 12 from USB. But it didn't install the boot selection menu. Entered the Live Disk command line and tried using boot0cfg, which created a minimal menu - to boot I still have to keep the USB plugged in. At startup I need to find a way to run FreeBSD on the SSD to be able to install TDE, etc. Any ideas? Robert
Could you pleas provide some more detailed information? GRUB is installed on /dev/sda, grub.cfg is on /dev/sda1/boot/<...>, FreeBSD is on /dev/sda2 | /dev/ada0p2s* ? You are trying to boot from grub? Does the grub chainloader manage to boot the FreeBSD bootloader?

Hi Nik, Thanks for the earlier reply. I have tried various things with grub, etc... without success. I will put this on hold for now and do more research.
Ok, then you are at the same status with grub as I am. In the end I went the other way round and added GRUB to FreeBSD bootloader :-)

So, the outcome of all that is: I installed FreeBSD on all of a 500G SSD. With some looking was able to install and use a desktop system (Mate), configure Wifi, the system clock, etc. But I would really like to be using TDE. There are several posts from years back by people trying to port TDE programs to FreeBSD. I have some software experience and would be glad to help if possible. Robert
