Hi!
I'm currently trying to install FreeBSD 14.1 on a Thinkpad T14 Gen3 (Intel) with the interactive bsdinstall TUI but have some questions regarding the partitioning step.
My plan is to run FreeBSD alongside Windows 11 on a single SSD using the BIOS to switch between installed EFI...
I tried to install FreeBSD 14 release again (on a separate partition) on my desktop. I am successfully creating two boot entries in BIOS. FreeBSD, and FreeBSD 2.
But no matter which entry I choose, the system is booting up with the older installation.
I tried to get help of chatgpt but all of...
Introduction:
This is a guide on how to dual boot windows 11 and FreeBSD 14.
I recently received a fantastic laptop that happens to be surprisingly compatible with FreeBSD,
so I highly recommend it, and no, I am not sponsored by MSI;
I have merely fought enough laptops to recognize a keeper when...
My goal was to install FreeBSD with GELI and ZFS alongside of currently installed Windows 10. I am testing it on an Oracle Virtual Box with EFI turned on. I have continued FreeBSD setup up to the Partitioning step, then selected shell and entered the following,
gpart add -t freebsd-swap -s...
I have two installations of freebsd 13.2 on two different disks. Both with MBR & UFS
disk 1: win10/freebsd without bootloader (freebsd)
disk 2: freebsd with bootloader
How could I make disk 2 that has the bootloader, find muy others disk installations and boot from?
Hello people. I have a legacy dual boot BSD+Windows setup. Recently I did some Windows-y stuff and messed with the boot loader. Anyhow; In an attempt to recover my FreeBSD install I wrote a bootonly iso to a thumb drive, booted BSD and ran
boot0cfg -B /dev/ada0
boot0cfg -m 0x5 -s 1 -t 90...
Hi everyone,
I have got an old laptop (hp pavillon dv7) on which I am dual booting Linux (artix) and Freebsd 13.1.
My wireless chipset is a Broadcom 4312. I did some researchs on the forum, found all the required information and did my settings accordingly.
The ending result is quite...
I have found out that the little netbook I use for learning about FreeBSD is capable (in theory at least) of running Windows 10. I am going to upgrade the RAM (to 2GB!) and add a larger HDD and give it a go but I am happy with the way I have FreeBSD set up so I would prefer to clone my current...
How can I do that? Anyone know? I use my disk as GPT. Windows 10, Debian 11 (GRUB) already exists as dual-boot, but I want to install FreeBSD next to it. How will I do? Thanks.
Hi guys. I am a newbie in the BSD world. I've been using Linux for a few year just as desktop stuff, no development-related work. A few days ago I decided to give FreeBSD with ZFS a try. Anyway, I installed FreeBSD dual booting Windows in a disk, the laptop is legacy BIOS boot with MBR partition...
Hello everyone. I have a computer with Windows, Arch and Lubuntu and all these systems are booting from a Multi-Boot. Recently, I decided to download freebsd for some tests and decided to put the OS in my multi-boot. I allocated 20 GB, installed in UEFI/GPT and made 3 partitions from UFS...
# install and others reference to install freebsd by zfs, and when we create boot that we follow my method as follows.

Hi dear Daemons
I tried to make a dual-boot with Ubuntu 20.10 and FreeBSD 12.2.
To help me, I followed this great tuto: https://hauweele.net/~gawen/blog/?p=2252
When I try to boot FreeBSD from my GRUB menu entry, I got the error "Image has invalid negative size".
Booting on Ubuntu works...
Hi,
I recently installed FreeBSD in my computer from the scratch, the whole was formatted from the installer with no stripes and no redundancy.
Is there a way to create a partition, lets say 40-50 gigs, and install linux there as well?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I am planning to do a bare-metal installation of FreeBSD 12.1 on a intel 330 SSD which already contain Devuan 3.0 Linux on UEFI-GPT system. I'm planning to install Gnome 3. I tried running the installer and manual mode in bsdinstall seems to me, confusing. It is asking for entire disk or...
Important notes:
1) This tutorial assumes you have the OS you want to dual-boot with already installed on your drive, and that you already have freed up some disk space. Essentially, you will be installing FreeBSD with root-on-ZFS on the remaining free space of the disk, instead of using the...
