Dears All , When FreeBSD 9.1 amd64 Stable ( 2013-04-28 , r 250 009 , .iso ) , FreeBSD 9.2 amd64 Release ( .iso ) are installed with following steps , they are producing bootable and very well working systems : Install Partitioning : Guided , Partition : Entire disk Partition Editor : Finish Confirmation : Commit Final Configuration : Exit Manual Configuration : No Complete : Reboot When the same steps applied to the following installs on the SAME computer and HDD <------------------------------------- : FreeBSD 9.3 amd64 Release ( .iso ) , FreeBSD 10.0 amd64 Release ( .iso ) , <------------------------------------- FreeBSD 10.0 amd64 Stable ( 2014-06-30 , r 268 038 , .iso ) , FreeBSD 10.0 amd64 Stable ( 2014-07-12 , r 268 571 , .iso ) , FreeBSD 11.0 amd64 Current ( 2014-08-04 , r 269 497 , Disk 1 , iso ) , the installed systems are not bootable , and the last sentence on the screen is the following : No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key . I have applied the following steps to make the FreeBSD 10.0 amd64 Release installation bootable : I have booted the computer by the Release DVD , from the "Install Shell LiveCD" , I have selected "Shell" , and entered gpart set -a active ada0 reboot with respect to advise giving in http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2014-August/051623.html by Warren Block . The installed system booted successfully from the HDD . Thank you very much .
