hello,

i finally got myself the machine i needed, at a really low cost.
it's an hp all-in-one 
(http://hpshopping.in/HP_18-5019il_All-in-One_Desktop_PC).

the problems started the moment i tried to boot up after a fresh freebsd 
10 install.

initially, all it did was started up the pxe boot sequence.
on disabling pxe boot in the bios, the system gave a message stating 
something about operating system not been found.

i did the unthinkable, and tested installation and boot up of various 
other operating systems (ubuntu 14.04 and omnios), both went through 
smoothly and booted up like a charm.

is there anything special i need to do? it looks to be like an uefi 
system.

should i be waiting for the 10.1 release?
