            Bug ID: 227422
           Summary: i386 mini-memstick 11-stable installer not recognized
                    as bootable device on Lenovo x220
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.1-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: emaste at freebsd.org

I fetched an i386 mini-memstick snapshot image from
https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/snapshots/ISO-IMAGES/11.1/FreeBSD-11.1-STABLE-i386-20180315-r330998-mini-memstick.img.xz
and wrote it to a USB hard drive.

When attempting to boot on a Lenvo x220 laptop the BIOS does not recognize this
as a bootable drive - it appears in the boot selection menu, but choosing it
returns immediately to the selection menu, as occurs with other non-bootable
drives.

For reference, same drive boots and kernel starts on a ASRock J3455B (but the
kernel hangs for other reasons, under investigation elsewhere)
