As your not at the boot loader stage yet for keyboard enabling legacy
USB keyboard / mouse support in BIOS may help.
That worked, thanks for the tip.
If you see issues with keyboard after the kernel takes over setting
hint.ehci.0.disabled=1 may help.
If your installing 11.x then the guides boot partition size is out of
date and you should use 512K for your freebsd-boot partition.
Oh, really? I'll update it once I'll have figure it all out. That's
weird though because /boot/gptzfsboot is less than 90 KB.
11.x
du -h /boot/gptzfsboot
97K /boot/gptzfsboot
12.x
du -h /boot/gptzfsboot
113K /boot/gptzfsboot
The reason I'd recommend 512k for boot is to provide room for expansion
moving forward, as repartitioning to upgrade is a scary / hard thing to
do. Remember it wasn't long ago when it was well under 64k and that's
what was recommend, its not like with disk sizes these days you'll miss
the extra 384k ;-)
For the GPT version (I've never used MBR one) what actual error do you get?
When I just start up the NUC, I get:
"""
\Can't find /boot/zfsloader
FreeBSD/x86 boot
Default: zroot:/boot/kernel/kernel
boot:
\
Can't find /boot/kernel/kernel
"""
I though it was the first stage boot loader, but it may be the second stage.
Boot to a live cd, I'd recommend mfsbsd, and make sure the boot loader
was written to ALL boot disks correctly e.g.
if you have a mirrored pool with ada0 and ada1:
gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ada0
gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ada0
If this doesn't help the output from gpart show, uname -a and zpool
status would also be helpful.
This is all assuming standard BIOS mode and not UEFI which is done
differently.

Hi,
I'm in the process of transferring my home server to an Intel NUC. I've zfs
send/receive'd the whole pool to the new drive and first followed
[ZfsOnGpt] but it fails in the first stage boot loader. The USB keyboard
doesn't seem to be recognized so I can't really debug anything.
Then I tried both [ZfsInMbrSlice]
but it complains that it can't find /boot/zfsloader. Again USB keyboard
doesn't work.
Both times I've been very careful to install the bootcodes at the right
place.
1. Any idea why the USB keyboard doesn't work?
2. Any idea what can be wrong in the setups I tried? How can I debug this?
