Hello!

I'm trying to complete the installation of -HEAD branch to my ASUS N76VZ laptop, however, after I partition the disk as wiki says:
>gpart create -s gpt ada0
>gpart add -t efi -s 800K ada0
>gpart add -t freebsd-ufs ada0
>dd if=/boot/boot1.efifat of=/dev/ada0p1
>newfs /dev/ada0p2
>...
I reboot and BIOS refuses to boot:
>Reboot and Select proper Boot device
>or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key
I see that this problem affects a certain ASUS laptops, so I've tried to update BIOS, play with my BIOS boot settings and so on, still I can't get it up.

Any thoughts on this?
