using a linode from https://www.linode.com/

Hi I was wondering if there are any users with FreeBSD installed on a linode. I'm having trouble installing past the point of erasing all content on the disk. I get gpart: geom 'da0" : file exists

Well I got past that by creating a new linode and deleting the one I was working on. Sill having problems though like network, connecting ssh

You need to be more verbose, this is on their site:

Install FreeBSD on Linode

This guide will show you how to install FreeBSD, the free and open source operating system based on the Berkeley Software Software Distribution from the late 1970s.

www.linode.com

It references 12.0 but you should use 13.1 instead but the procedure should be the same...

I think one problem I had was FreeBSD.img was over 1024M. The guide uses 1024M for the installer disk. It almost installed when I made my post. So I"m not sure if I had the whole freebd.img. I noticed a curl failure not getting the whole img.
