Ok, let me first admit that I am a total noob at this. I've spent the last couple of weeks exploring FreeBSD 9, FreeNAS 7 and 8, Ubuntu with ZFS all in an effort to determine what would be the best ZFS based file server OS to use.
As a noob, I am confused why I can easily create a live USB (4GB) of FreeBSD 9 using the memstick img and get it up and running without any problems on a Dell Latitude E6400, but I cannot get an install of FreeBSD 9 on a 4GB USB using the live USB stick to boot properly at all. How is it a live USB image can boot properly but not a install from it?
I get some type of Fatal 6 error.
I've searched far a wide on this forum, the FreeBSD Handbook, through other hits on Google and still am not any farther into figuring out the issue.
I really think that the implementation of ZFS on FreeBSD 9 is the best one that I've seen so far, but if I can't get it installed, what's the point. Just a little venting.
Any help/hint would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
