Can't get 2.4 to boot on EFI
-
Hi.
For some reason i don't get an EFI boot entry to appear in the BIOS setup menu after booting from the UEFI dvd that i burned with the latest pfsense 2.4 img..
This is my board: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/motherboards/server-motherboards/server-board-s1200v3rp.htmlI tried to manually add it " fs0:\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI " in the BIOS setup menu but that didn't help either.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Corrected typo.

Hi
Have you put the last ""? i believe you mean ", BOOTX64.EFI is a file. Should end with BOOTX64.EFI and not BOOTX64.EFI\
With EFI i only test Virtualbox and no need to do anything.
-
Sorry. Made a typo in the original post. No i didn't put BOOTX64.EFI with a \ in the end.

If you want more help you should put more info like efi mapping table and boot dump.
Sorry don't remember the EFI commands. -
fs0:\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI should not work for DVD, I think.
Depending on hardware you must search for similar instructions like this one http://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/SLN142679/en
Or if you hardware supports booting into EFI shell you can research boot entries with bcfg utility. You can even make an USB with EFI shell and boot from it.

Just format your USB with FAT32 and rename/create path /EFI/boot/bootx64.efi
Boot from USB and you must enter into shell directly. Use https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/efi-shells-and-scripting/ for help
