Hi,
I cannot boot the FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201509022158 image in my NAS: Asrock N3150-ITX, 1xKingston 8GB DDR3 1600MHz PC3L-12800 SO-DIMM, latest BIOS P1.30.
I tried two different approaches, with two different pendrives of 2 and 8 GB:
1. I burn the .iso in an USB pendrive with Win32DiskImager. I turn on the NAS with it. I select the boot device as the USB pendrive (BIOS legacy mode), the screen becomes black and nothing happens. The GRUB menu does not appear. If I choose instead the UEFI option, then, the screen comes back to the "select boot device" screen...
2. Then, in VirtualBox, I installed FreeNAS in the USB pendrive. Later, in another VM, I booted it up. From the GUI, I createad a loader tunable xhci_load with value set to YES. Then, when I plugged the pendrive in the NAS, and booted it up, the screen became black, nothing appeared or happened. But, if I plug it in the VM, it works perfectly, the GRUB menu appears and it starts normally.
Just to test if the NAS could boot anything from an USB, I burned the OpenELEC-Generic.x86_64-5.95.5.img in a pendrive and it worked perfectly, both in BIOS legacy and UEFI modes.
How could I make the FreeNAS image boot with this motherboard? What would be the proper settings in the BIOS to make it work?
Thank you in advance.
