Espressobin anyone ?

[James Shuriff]

You can boot manually using the loader shell, right? Try putting this in /EFI/FREEBSD/loader.env

rootdev=disk0sX:

Were "X" is the boot slice, such as 2a. This didn't work for me when I was having loader.efi issues but it's worth a shot. How is your disk laid out?

The newest HEAD snapshot image doesn’t work either, fails the same way (no partition found) so no Lua loader..(my 12-stable uses the old 4th loader).

Found 1 disks
Consoles: EFI console
    Reading loader env vars from /efi/freebsd/loader.env
FreeBSD/arm64 EFI loader, Revision 1.1

   Command line arguments: loader.efi
   EFI version: 2.05
   EFI Firmware: Das U-boot (rev 0.00)
   Console: efi (0)
Startup error in /boot/lua/loader.lua:
LUA ERROR: cannot open /boot/lua/loader.lua: invalid argument.

can't load 'kernel'

Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.
OK


Ideas are welcome, seems that the aarch64 loader gets in there, but it fails to find the freebsd partition…
