Hi
I am new to freeBSD and I'd like to use it mainly for ZFS. I've bought HPE MicroServer Gen8 with two 1TB disks. My plan is to use microSD card for /boot so that bios always have one place to boot from. I do this trick when I install mdadm on linux because mdadm does not replicate whole disk (including MBR record). I've read this tutorial, but I am lost as install requires so many steps that I do not understand. Does freeBSD require separate volumes for /usr, /tmp etc. ?
Maybe I am wrong with a separate /boot. Please advise.
