I discovered once again (honestly: I just forgot) that in modern PCs and laptops one has to adjust the AHCI/NVME setting and the Intel VMD/RST setting used for Windows in the UEFI/BIOS menu.
I've found out through multiple interactions with Claude that any FreeBSD 12 (not 15) has issues being recognized by a typical laptop's NVRAM settings even after I successfully run efibootmgr in the FreeBSD shell.
This is a borderline straight-up conundrum. When I press F12 there is no list of boot entries which show Linux and FreeBSD. I have to dig down or just dig in further and run another esoteric command from inside FreeBSD.
Why do the OEMs and the proprietary hardware world hate Open Source's guts? Was is something we said a long time ago?
