Hi Pierre,

You're using EFI with VirtualBox to boot the DFly guest, which I haven't
tried.

For EFI boot, you need to make sure that file "/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi" file
exists on your EFI partition (i.e., ad0s0), which is the default boot code.
If that file doesn't exist, you can copy "/boot/boot1.efi" over.

You can also refer to the example installation script:
/usr/share/examples/rconfig/hammer_uefi.sh

But I'm not sure whether VirtualBox's EFI implementation works with DFly's
EFI boot loader...


Cheers,
