            Bug ID: 210029
           Summary: The FreeBSD DVD won't boot
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: ingeborg at fmgirl.com

When trying to boot the FreeBSD installation disk, GRUB2 starts instead. I
first burned the ISO to a memory stick, but when that failed several times I
burned a DVD. It fails in exactly the same way.

There's a free partition on my disk, ready for an alternate system. The other
system partition contains Linux Mint 17.3, if that makes a difference.
The computer is a fairly modern thing with i7 processor, 8GB RAM and a Xeon
E3-1200 graphics card.

This is a very bad start for someone who wants to test the FreeBSD system. Does
not seem to be worth the effort.
