Hey!
Some time ago, I got a great deal on a specific dedicated Server from Hetzner. Sadly they don't offer FreeBSD for that server. I thought I would be able to just switch to some Linux that they support, but to be honest I couldn't get comfortable with any of the supported distributions. FreeBSD just suits me so much better!
I would like to know if anyone has an idea of a way to get FreeBSD installed on the server, since the hardware should support it and Hetzner told me they are okay with it, but don't offer software support (which I don't need anyway).
Usually, you need to boot up their Rescue System to install any OS. They offer a FreeBSD Rescue System, but it's based on mfsBSD and can't boot cause mfsBSD doesn't support EFI and I can't change it to Legacy.
Their Linux Rescue System doesn't offer FreeBSD in the installation script.
From the Linux Rescue System, I can mount the server hard drives.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
