Subject: Can't boot - "Waiting for BMC Initializing..."

The "Waiting for BMC Initializing" message is the very first message that appears on screen, which means I am not able to get into the BIOS. Sometimes the boot stops at a message saying "System Initializing...", also the very first text appearing.

Thank you for your answer.
I have not installed an OS yet (that would require a booting computer), but I have put freenas on a usb key that is connected to the computer.
I am not sure what you mean by "the BMC and IPMI seem to not be configured". What configuration are you referring to? I can't reach the BIOS, but I did access the IPMI. I have not been able to find the option "Wait for BMC" or any other configuration option related to BMC.
