    Cleaning up after zfs send|recv on my zroot

    Hi I recently decided to move my FreeBSD installation onto a new drive. Since I was using ZFS, I achieved this by inserting the new drive, and then using the memstick installer on a USB drive to perform a basic install. After this I dropped to a shell, unmounted all the destination datasets...

    Does Freebsd support direct UEFI booting?

    The Freebsd Handbook, section 12.2 on the boot process, contains a note that seems to state that Freebsd does not support direct UEFI booting. The concern is that on our two Freebsd machines, the BIOS are set for UEFI. The note reads: Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks in advance.

    Bootloader on SD Card directing to another HDD?

    I've been really pulling my hair out with this one. Got a bit of a tricky hardware setup with SATA1-4 as raidz3, and SATA5 as the encrypted ZFS root os disk: The caveat being that I cannot boot from this drive via the BIOS when SATA1-4 are installed, so I need to boot to an SD card and have that...
