Saga Continue, still trying 4.8:
Boot from USB or CD, same results (which is good).
Peeter, I have not tried dragonflybsd 3.6.2 just yet. Do you think it will boot without EFI support?

Full boot I get this (menu item 1)
ACPI: APIC 0x00000000BF966000 000068 (v01 APPLE Apple00  00000001 Loki 0000005F)

ACPI: SSDT 0x00000000BF956000 0004DC (v01 APPLE CpuPm    00003000 INTL 20061109)
ACPI: MCFG 0x00000000BF964000 00003C (v01 APPLE Apple00  00000001 Loki 0000005F)

aesni0: No AESNI support.
padlock0: No ACE support.
rdrand0: No RdRand support.
acpi0: <APPLE Apple00> on motherboard
ACPI: 4 ACPI AML tables successfully acquired and loaded

<hangs here>

Without ACHI driver (menu item 3)
SAME AS ABOVE

Without ACPI driver (menu item 4)
cycles between
ahci0.0: Cannot start FIS reception
ahci0:0: failed to start command DMA on port, disabling
ahci0.1: Cannot start FIS reception
ahci0.0: Waiting 10 seconds
ahci0.1: Cannot start FIS reception
ahci0:1: failed to start command DMA on port, disabling
ahci0.1: Waiting 10 seconds

Does a bunch of probes and ends up with this (booting from CD)
Manual root filestystem specifications:
	<fstype>:<device> Specify root (e.g. ufs:da0s1a)
?	List valid disk boot devices
panic	Just panic
abort	Abort manual input

mountroot>
(however the keyboard is locked, so I can’t enter anything)

Safe Mode (menu item 2)
SAME AS menu item 4 — without ACPI driver

Verbose (menu item v)
Same as full, with added output - of course

aesni0: No AESNI support.
padlock0: No ACE support.
rdrand0: No RdRand support.
acpi0.nexus0.root0
acpi0: <APPLE Apple00> [tentative] on motherboard 
ACPI: 4 ACPI AML tables successfully acquired and loaded

I did escape to the boot prompt and disabled acpi and the USB3 driver. Still no go.
