Cannot install FreeBSD 12.0 on HP Compaq DC5850

[Tommi Pernila]

Hi Elena,

If you can send more details from the hardware, the troubleshooting will be
faster.
E.g. sending a dmesg output (even a screenshot) from the OS.

Have you tried booting FreeBSD 11.1-Release?

Also when you mention FreeBSD 12.0-Current, is it how old? Or do you know
the release version?

Br,

Tommi
