            Bug ID: 276361
           Summary: 14.0-Release iso boot challenges
           Product: Base System
           Version: 14.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: dewayne@heuristicsystems.com.au

Downloaded
https://download.freebsd.org/releases/ISO-IMAGES/14.0/FreeBSD-14.0-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso
and attempted to boot via virtualbox on Windows10.  

Without efi box checked, the boot process displays:
"FATAL: Cound not read from the boot medium! System halted"
or with the efi box checked, I'm unable to exit the startup.nsh loop.

Earlier I tried the i386-bootonly.iso on a VirtualBox i386, with the same
result.

Notes: 
1. that I have 6 VM's running FBSD 12.4S on this desktop and 1 running 13.2S
which I used to build 14.0-releng (I'm continuing to research different
problems there).
2. Virtualbox is used for testing prior to installing on bare metal devices,
but unlike https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=275326 we don't
seem to get past loader stage (via the FreeBSD provided iso).  There must be
information about talking to the iso boot media but...
