FreeBSD OS installation stuck after selecting Boot installer
Date: Thu, 20 Jun 2024 16:51:04 UTC
Hi,
I am trying to install FreeBSD OS(https://download.freebsd.org/releases/ISO-IMAGES/14.1/FreeBSD-14.1-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-memstick.img or any other FreeBSD version) on Intel IPU E2100 (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/network-io/ipu/adapter-e2100.html )from UEFI environment.
Installation however fails on Arm Neoverse N1 CPU Cores at up to 3.0GHz with below errors:

Since the IPU E2100 does not support device tree, i have tried to disable it with below cmds and also made sure to enable ACPI(which was enabled by default with FreeBSD-above screenshot). As, enabling ACPI should not require device tree
From the BSD Boot Loader Prompt, i did set following options but still ran into install issue(below screenshot):
Code:
set boot_serial="YES"
echo boot_serial is set to ${boot_serial}
set comconsole_speed="115200"
echo comconsole_speed is set to ${comconsole_speed}
set hint.acpi.0.disabled=0
set hint.fdt.0.disabled=1
OK set acpi_load="YES"
OK echo acpi_load is set to ${acpi_load}
acpi_load is set to YES
OK set fdt_enable="NO"
OK echo fdt_enable is set to ${fdt_enable}
fdt_enable is set to NO
OK boot

Other OS's like Ubuntu, Rocky Linux installed just fine. So, any pointers to solve this FreeBSD issue is much appreciated..
Thanks
