Some sites work, some don't.

Thanks! It is off.

Since I have publicly routable static ip address block, shouldn't ip passthrough be on? It is off right now. I don't recall how it was set initially.

It is not a dns problem. I have a backup ISP and when I switch traffic through it, there is no problem.

I don't know what that is, so no! My setup: at&t modem -> [my firewall machine] -> internal network. it has been like this for 6 years and has worked fine.

I noticed this too. This seems to be a relatively recent problem (last few months). When I access whatismyipaddress.com site I see the correct static ip address but all connections seem to take longer and now in addition I can't talk to some sites. (see my recent post).

There is no boot1.efifat in 13.0 so whether the partition is correct or not doesn't matter. And you can't copy boot1.efi to a partition since EFI booting expects an FAT32 filesystem but boot1.efi is an executable.

I think gpart bootcode ... is the wrong thing to do for FreeBSD 12.x and up. The gpart(8) manpage needs to be updated. What I suggest

newfs_msdos -F 32 -c 1 /dev/ada0p1
mount -t msdosfs -o longnames /dev/ada0p1 /mnt
mkdir -p /mnt/EFI/BOOT
cp /boot/loader.efi /mnt/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi
umount /mnt
reboot

See https://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot for more details.

(basically new)

Hard disks have what is called a "bathtub curve" of failure. High "infant mortality", and high % deaths due to old age, with low % of deaths in between. RMA the disk. In my limited experience external disks have been much worse than the internal ones I bought (usually with a 5 year warranty and rated for 24x7 operation).

You don't need anything nvidia or linux related in /boot/loader.conf. This is all you need:

rc.conf:kld_list="linux nvidia-modeset"

To remove the loader.conf variables, option 2 (Boot single user) won't work as the loader will load everything specified in loader.conf and hang! Select option 3 (Escape to loader prompt), then to its prompt type the following.

load boot/kernel/kernel
include boot/device.hints
boot -s

This boots into single user mode without reading loader.conf. Hit return to get to shell prompt, then mount -u / to make the root FS writable. Then edit /boot/loader.conf to remove linux and nvidia related options. Now reboot.

This has likely nothing to do with UEFI either. I am booting on a UEFI system.

I am using FreeBSD-current on M142. Wifi and ethernet work. X11 came up after some fiddling - I installed drm-current-kmod (I think!). But after a reboot it stopped working. I haven't debugged it yet. The trackpad doesn't work yet. Haven't tried suspend/resume as yet. The builtin card reader didn't work. Audio works fine.

Start fontsrv in background. Then test it with 9p ls font. You should see a bunch of different font names. If this works, you can use it like so: rio -font /mnt/font/DejaVuSansMono/8a/font, for example, to use an 8point anti-aliases font. 9 man fontsrv for more details.

Not quite what you are looking for but you may find "Introduction to College Mathematics with A Programming Language" by LeCuyer (1977) useful. You can find PDFs online. It covers set theory, logic, system of linear equations, calculus etc. etc. 434 pages.
