<html><body><p>Busy day with other things than play computers, but I found a little time. I have FreeBSD 10-STABLE loaded with the custom WiFi hack on my <a href="http://notebookplanet.blogspot.com/2013/04/hp-elitebook-revolve-810-g1-tablet.html">Elitebook Revolve 810</a>. I would have to let it try to boot off the USB stick. After multiple tries, it would finally run the installer. I tried ZFS a few times, but if I did not select MBR format for the partition table, then it would not boot (no OS error). With MBR and ZFS, it would fail to mount the ZFS filesystem with <strong>error 2</strong>. After trying the various fixes listed on-line, I gave up and went with MBR and UFS.</p>
<p>Once installed, it was fairly easy to get going. I have not configured it to take on the role of daily driver yet. If I have time tomorrow, then I will do it then, otherwise, it will have to wait a bit as I am getting on a plane this weekend, and I will not have room for the second computer. I will try to get it as far as I can with ssh.</p>
<p>The neat thing I found based on <a href="http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2005-April/083317.html">this email post from 2005</a> and <a href="http://www.freebsdonline.com/content/view/829/524/">this blog post</a> is that I can have a fancy screensaver at the console! Pretty rad. :) Next steps will be improving the screen resolution in text-mode.</p></body></html>
