freebsd

Hello guys,

I apologize with you for the strange question.

Can you tell me if some of you uses coreboot with the Freebsd Operating system on its machine ?

Thanks in advance.

Vincenzo.

Dear Vincenzo,

it denepds on your definition of "using".  None of my productive systems
are using coreboot.

But I've been experimenting with booting FreeBSD and OpenBSD with boards
running coreboot with grub payload.  You have to compile grub with
support for kfreebsd and kopenbsd.

Currently I'm toying with using coreboot with Tianocore to boot the
OpenBSD uefi-boot, as well as other uefi based bootloders (rEFInd,
FreeBSD, Linux directly, Linux using grub).  This works fine, but
using Tianocore might not be what you had in mind when you want to 
switch to coreboot from vendor BIOS.

You might want to have a look at this talks from ECC2017:

- Booting UEFI-arware OS on coreboot enabled platform

Personally I'd like to see something like LinuxBoot/NERF but with
the UEFI bootloaders from FreeBSD / OpenBSD instead of Linux.

Cu,
    Goetz.

Yes, I'm running -CURRENT on an ASUS F2A85-M board with SeaBIOS as the payload.

Can you be more specific (don't ask 'yes or no' question)?

Yes, FreeBSD is my primary OS at my coreboot'ed machine at the moment.
I got a bit disappointed at Linux recent developments and decided to switch

Best regards,

Just curious: what is that Tribunale di Lecce ?
Is this a court ?
