At the moment sshd is launched quite late in the booting process. We would need to have sshd running as early as possible on our servers, right after the firewall starts, or, on some local-network only servers, even as soon as possible.
Where can one read about a safe, upgrade-compatible way to...
Hello BSDler,
my first post here in the BSD area at all. Please be patient. O:‑)
I used FreeBSD before in some virtual environments, compiled simple applications / driver. But not that much.
Instead, I have several years of experience in linux. Just as a sideinfo about me.
I want to use...
Hello
I have a server, a bit aged but still able and fit for most of my needs. Trying to speed it up and free two disk hotswap places, I've perusaded server's owner to purchase two NVME PCI cards for boot and ZFS cache.
After installing them, I've (suddenly!) find out that the motherboard...
I can't install FreeBSD-13.0-RELEASE or FreeBSD-14.0-CURRENT on my notebook. I get the following error message when I try to boot / install from the USB flash drive.

I've just had a "wonderful" time thanks to whoever maintains zfs - after doing a zpool upgrade, it told me to do
It didn't even tell me that this will break my EFI boot. Granted, I was stupid to simply believe what I read and to do it anyway, since it says "mbr" in there.
Here comes the...
Hello!
I have FreeBSD 13 on my desktop(AMD Ryzen). Everything is pretty smooth expect one little but very annoying issue.
During boot(specifically during sound card/system init) I have very very loud sound in my headphones for a short moment. It's like when you power on huge speakers using...
Hi guys. I am a newbie in the BSD world. I've been using Linux for a few year just as desktop stuff, no development-related work. A few days ago I decided to give FreeBSD with ZFS a try. Anyway, I installed FreeBSD dual booting Windows in a disk, the laptop is legacy BIOS boot with MBR partition...
Hello! I have a lot of background info of my setup here, but the short version is:
FreeBSD 12.2 server, RAIDZ2 with 5 disks in a RAIDZ2. I just tried to replace drive da0, and now my server won't boot.
I'm sure I set this all up wrong, but I hope someone can help me recover.
Earlier, I was...
I've been using FreeBSD on a virtual machine for a while now, for the reason that I'm a noob, in case it breaks something.
Well I have decided to use FreeBSD as the base system, but my problem is that it is impossible for me to boot FreeBSD. I followed the steps in the manual, I got the...
Hi People,
using freebsd you can encrypt the system pool zroot. But then you have to enter the passphrase on each boot-up.
Please, excuse that I do not know that much about geli and the boot up mechanisms in freebsd. I am still learning.
As far as I know you can use key files to attach a geli...
(Am new to BSD, and use archlinux as my daily driver)
I was trying to configure FreeBSD 13 on my Raspberry Pi 4 for use as a home server. It no longer boots, and I suspect the reason is changes I made to `/etc/fstab` but I'm not totally sure. When it boots it hangs here:
The problem is that...

Hi, I'm new here, and I have been trying to install FreeBSD on my virtual machine for a while, but the problem is that FreeBSD always hangs on the boot screen, more specifically at the EFI framebuffer information. I have a screenshot of the issue and I tried a lot of things:

How to change passphrase for encrypted ZFS disk for FreeBSD 13?
I saw this post, but "/boot/encryption.key" is not found. Do I change the passphrase by booting into the disk, or booting into the install-disk? And, if I boot into the install-disk, how do I mount the specific partition to change...
Hello everyone. I have a computer with Windows, Arch and Lubuntu and all these systems are booting from a Multi-Boot. Recently, I decided to download freebsd for some tests and decided to put the OS in my multi-boot. I allocated 20 GB, installed in UEFI/GPT and made 3 partitions from UFS...
Hi all,
i just did a freebsd-update fetch, freebsd-update install and reboot from 13.0-RELEASE to 13.0-RELEASE-p2 and get greeted with this:
Just yesterday everything was fine, zpool status had all four hard disks ONLINE... what can i do? :/
I have 3 disk attached to the system and I wanted to setup it as raidz, after running set commands by gpart show output looks like below (vtpd0 , da0 and da1 are disk attached to system )

Hi,
I’m trying to decrease the screen resolution for the console on my laptop which has a default resolution 1920x1080 ( 12.5 ‘’) booting in UEFI.
At the end of the boot, I got a nice console very bright and clear but with it's very very small and makes the reading very complicated
After...
Hello!
Happy and healthy 2021 to every and each one!
This is my story: I've just built a FreeBSD machine to use primarly as a NFS/ZFS home server. CPU is a Pentium G4560 (7th gen), case NAS 800, MoBo mini-ITX, 32GB ECC mem and 5x 4TB HDD Toshiba N300.
MoBo has only 6 SATA connections in...
