what is on the internal hard drive?

I'm assuming this with EFI of some sort?

I install gostbsd on both my internal and external disk,internal disk is 64G,external 512G.But I can not find external boot option in bios,only internal disk can boot.Internal disk works well,but why it shows more than 400G while I don't plug my external?

I don't have anything to try on, but the external drive should be available during the install process.

unlike linux which uses /dev/sda /dev/sdb

FreeBSD, ad GhostBSD something like

/dev/da0 /dev/da1
