Installation problems on FreeBSD 15-CURRENT and 14.3-RELEASE

rudynotfound.h

rudynotfound.h

So i failed to install the 14.3-RELEASE but i successfully installed 15-CURRENT with minimum issues
The issue i faced with both the releases was with the partitioning , you see FreeBSD tries to help you when you mount the root partition and mounts the dir to the efi partition its gonna see at the top also , but what it should do is to apply it to the latest created efi partition instead, on 15-CURRENT when i installed sudo i forgot to install nano so i tried installing that but nano wasn't found so i tried to install neovim , it wasn't there either , neofetch , fastfetch, bsdfetch weren't there so i tried installing 14.3-RELEASE and well WIFI was not being detected correctly unlike 15-CURRENT and as soon i entered the password for my 5G WIFI the whole installer crashed with a page fault

Im a newbie with FreeBSD and did not raise any issues on a VM however im dual booting it with Windows currently because i've kept Windows for MS Office and my games and the coding stuff would be done on FreeBSD because it's UNIX
 
My experience from freebsd-installer is that, the installation need to make always twice, because partition tool does not make partitions properly (freebsd-ufs is missing in the first installation).

When deleting and re-creating BSD and freebsd-ufs partitions on the second installation time, everything goes well.
 
If one intends to be dual/multibooting a system, you need to be aware of how the partitions need to be laid out and any other needs like how to add EFI boot stuff.
It's also a key thing to mention if you are asking for help.
