Ok now the EFI Loader boots the system but with black screen and that’s not a problem related yo radeon_hd driver because when i boot in legacy Mode the driver works correctly without black screen (i am using a Radeon rx460).

This is actually probably related to the radeon_hd driver; it behaves differently in legacy vs. EFI boot environments.

There are actually fixes for this that were merged in recent commits from @kallisti5 that might allow EFI boots to at least get to the desktop, though with the fallback framebuffer driver.

It’s good to know that i’ll test a newer release even on APUs because i have a ryzen 5 3400G. Thanks for the advice.

I always thought FreeBSD was the one implementing things first, then OpenBSD, then NetBSD. Looks like I’m being corrected of false asumptions! Anyways, amazing work.

It used to be so (generally speaking, there are a lot of exceptions), but these things change as developers come and go. FreeBSD made the choice to use more and more Linux code and try to get it ported, maybe it wasn’t the best choice. OpenBSD decided to write the drivers “natively” from scratch, and in the end they got an usable result a bit faster than FreeBSD this time.
