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

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

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
