            Bug ID: 257618
           Summary: Installation of FreeBSD on Parallels on OS X will fail
                    without an advanced boot setting
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: tcovert+freebsd@sahuagin.net

When attempting to install FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE dvd.iso, disk1.iso, and .img,
initial boot to the install medium fails with an inability to find
/boot/lua/loader.lua. Solution is to:

1) in parallels, navigate to settings, hardware, boot order
2) select "Advanced Settings"
3) add: 'vm.bios.efi=1'
4) boot VM and install as usual.
