Exactly what he said. That (da0) is not a label. It's a disk device node. For a USB-connected device: your SATA disk in its USB enclosure. Labels help you avoid booting problems when changes in device types (ada0 vs da0) and order (da0 vs da1) occur.

This may be a good start.

Hello. The easiest way is using tar -C / -xpf lib32.txz. If you don't have any of the installation media, get the file from here (the link is for 11.2/amd64).

Hello and welcome to the forums. Yes. Instead of installing to something like ada0, you install to something like da0. The most significant difference is that USB devices are much slower. Mounting /tmp on tmpfs is highly recommended for such setup.

I could never get used to the limitation of tiling WMs. Don't get me wrong; I like the idea of dividing the screen into non-overlapping frames for most applications. And that's exactly how I use Fvwm: all applications (Internet browser, file manager, terminal emulator, etc.) have their...

Hello and welcome to the forums. You may have more luck finding technically-oriented people on the freebsd-fs mailing list.

Use mdconfig. Check the EXAMPLE section near the end. It shows all you need to do to create and mount a file-backed device. When that's done, you simply copy the .txz files you want and unmount it.

Welcome to the forums. You may get a snapshot of 12.0 here if you absolutely want/need to use the latest. Just make sure you know what this means. Also note that CURRENT- is not supported on these forums, as per the rules. I know for sure at least some of these applications are available on...

Only in the dvd installation media. The disc1 and memstick ones have no packages. And as I said, you only have a relatively limited choice. After some time you'll want to update all your packages and that can only be achieved online. Burning is not necessary. mdconfig lets you create...

Have you already tried other installation media (disc1 on a CD or memstick on a USB stick)? Make sure it passes the checksum test.

There are quite a few tutorials and many sample configuration files. No one will sue you if you copy their configuration files, you know. ;) With time and patience (and RTFM), you'll learn to understand what every line means and you'll be able to customize these files or create your own from...

Not enough memory perhaps?

https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.2R/announce.html: You can pick the one relevant to your architecture here. Obviously these are RELEASE- packages. Also note that if you've been downloading packages again and again, you can grab them from pkg's cache for later use. pkg.conf:

Yes, precisely. I must have misunderstood your question then. If the above is what you're after, then you can include the .txz files in the ISO. Either let the user install them manually by issuing a pkg install command or install them automatically through some shell script that does that for...

This is very rare. Any up-to-date assembler (e.g. fasm, nasm, gas, etc.) should (theoretically, at least) support the complete set of instructions in its target architecture, including the most peculiar and rarely-used instructions. Modern operating systems like FreeBSD include modern and...

Two words: reproductive isolation. Any attempt at hybridization is a sterile endeavor. ;)

I haven't tried this, but theoretically you should be able to mount your ISO (mdconfig) and use pkg's -r/--rootdir option: -r <root directory>, --rootdir <root directory> pkg will install all packages within the specified <root directory>.

Is pkg delete -af not redundant?

That should've been taken care of by that part: ;)
