Just did my first attempt to run the FreeBSD installer via boot from USB.
I can get the boot device menu, and when I choose 3 (the usb drive) - I get the text-based spinner (the one that shows / then - then | then \ - does that thing have a name?)…for about 5 seconds, then the cursor goes down a line, and sits.
I tried to leave it for about 30 min, and no love.
Continuing to try different ports, etc.
If anyone has done a FreeBSD install from USB successfully on the Librem Mini v2 please let me know if you have had any success.
UPDATE:
Another thought, I currently use a 6x2 HDMI matrix to run 3 computers with video to 2 monitors.
I am wondering if there is something in that setup that FreeBSD is not able to handle when it comes to getting the display initialized.
I might try taking that out of the loop and just connecting an HDMI monitor directly to the HDMI port on the LMv2.
UPDATE 2:
Removed HDMI matrix from the system - put an HDMI cable directly from HDMI port on LMv2 to monitor - still nothing after the first few seconds of boot from usb screen (as described above).
