I have an ASUS P8P67 motherboard, and the install programs in 8.1 and 8.2 are unable to write files to the disks, so the install fails after choosing the what to install. Partitioning and newfs went fine, however. Could this be because the ASUS MB uses EFI instead of a BIOS? (It does).
I have installed a score of different FreeBSD systems on a score of different motherboards, and never had a compatibility issue, but I have found some posts saying that special procedures are required to install on an EFI motherboard. They were sufficiently complex that I would probably just get another motherboard.
