--- Comment #5 from Graham Perrin <grahamperrin@freebsd.org> ---
Sorry, some overlap (not a duplicate). 

15.1-BETA2 in VirtualBox. 

Installation succeeds, boot of the installed system fails. 



UEFI: 

----

…
Setting currdev to zfs:boot/ROOT/default:
Failed to find bootable partition
press any key to interrupt reboot in 1 seconds



Without UEFI: 

----

BIOS drive C: is disk0
