    Can't get Truenas to boot off USB on UEFI BIOS

    I'm stumped on what I am doing wrong. I wanted to try Truenas on a newer machine. It is an HP Elitedesk 800 G3. I can't get it to boot off my USB drive, and I can't get the BIOS to stay in legacy mode. I've tried using Rufus and Balena Etcher to make a 12.0-U8 USB drive. Tried the drive in...

    I dun goofed (Broke a Dell Z9100-ON 100Gbps switch)

    I was trying to restore factory defaults on a Dell Z9100-ON switch. I should have known I was in way over my head though. I messed up the boot order by going into the ONIE boot menu then selected ONIE rescue in the hopes of defaulting it. I didn't go any further realizing I didn't understand...
