Hi, Many thanks for testing on real hardware.
Adding my comments below; I'll further investigate some of the issues myself, but anyone else is welcome to look into these or the other points in the original mail: On 31/10/14 10:41, Herbert Kaminski wrote: > - grub-install was not able to install grub if the file system root was > on a logical partition. I once thought that was a limitation of what the FreeBSD kernel can use as a root device. In that case it should be more clearly documented. Or if not, it may turn out to be a bug in grub-probe. > Putting /boot on a primary partition did not help. This needs to be investigated using grub-install and grub-probe by hand. It may also be worth trying to move /lib/modules into /boot/ then creating a symlink /lib/modules -> /boot/modules. > - a regression: now xfburn finds the CDR drive only when started by root. > /dev/cd0 is owned by root:cdrom, and the standard user is member of the > cdrom group. Is /dev/cd0 readable and/or writable by the group? Does changing that fix it?

Obvious question, but were any applications running that would actually display something there? If I install+run something like psi-plus, then it correctly displays there. > - in the installer, DHCP did not work.

The nv driver should support at least *some* nVidia cards, perhaps older and not integrated chipsets. I've started a Wiki page where we can start to collect data on this: https://wiki.debian.org/Debian_GNU/kFreeBSD_Hardware#Graphics_cards The vesa fallback should be good enough for at least some uses.
