During a previous video I broke my FreeBSD system, can I fix it?

Very cool thanks – just did a linux dual boot setup and now need to re-do my FreeBSD boot menu.

If there's something I'm an expert of.. its breaking FreeBSD, but I never manage to fix it 😉
If I remember my commands, the first attempt was how you would do it for old BIOS booting while the working attempt was for the newer UEFI booting. If on NVMe, you likely have to do UEFI booting as motherboards usually don't show NVMe drives in my experience. Always fun trying to track the headache of what changes with computers over time and glad you stuck with figuring out the solution.
Totally floored me at the end when you revealed you were doing this with version 13 instead of 15… but I thought the whole point of this video was to fix 15?
Hi Gary, you get both thumbs of me up!! 🙂 All the best, Norbert
The gpart bootcode installation routines aren’t creating an entry in the EFI variables pointing to the newly installed FreeBSD loader. $GPTPARTITION/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi is the fallback EFI boot loader location per the spec.
I believe you should send an upstream bug report for this noncompliance with the spec.

Thank you for your wonderful videos, because of them I fell in love with FreeBSD
