Re: Cannot Boot

Seems it didn't like a USB3 port or a USB2 port beside each other. Changed to USB2 port on other side of machine and it boots fine.

Use the USB3 port to boot numerous Linux flavours on external drive so guess this is a freeBSD issue.

Re: Moving files between Linux and GhostBSD and back

That is very interesting and a useful tip.

Guessing on a home network a NAS will probably be convenient, most modern routers have a USB socket that can be used for this purpose.

Re: Installed but no Boot Option

Hello geffers, You can install the GhostBSD Refind bootloader which will recognize the other Linux distributions installed on your machine (solution that I have chosen personally) or create a 40_custom file in your Linux distribution and do a grub update behind so that it detects GhostBSD entry, se...
