EDIT: Well this is kind of akward, but it turned out that I could resolve this rather quickly using heredoc strings. Given I'm using Ansible to create the installerconfig file, just copying the modified sshd_config into installerconfig in full via templates actually seems to be the easiest...

Hello, I am currently trying to create a custom script for bsdinstall for my server. I want to apply the partition layout for that specific machine, as well as install certain packages and create some users at install time. My end goal is to have a non-root user account created on install, as...

Hi everyone, apologies if this is trivial, but I guess I have exhausted my knowledge and capabilities. I managed to install FreeBSD in a virtualbox under Kubuntu 20.04 with KDE so I thought I could just try and use FreeBSD on the PC directly. But as you can imagine, I want to have the real...

So, I've made the live bootable usb on my mac through dd and on my pc using unetbootin, with both attempts the installer would run on my mac, on neither would it run on my pc, which is the machine I want FreeBSD on. I'm unsure how to proceed. On the bootmenu when I select the USB HDD and press...

A USB installation drive was created for Freebsd-12.0-release-memstick.img. The compressed img.xz file was downloaded via a browser from an Ubuntu Linux machine. It was then extracted with $ xz -dk Freebsd-12.0-memstick.img.xz Should the img.xz file have been extracted in root?

I've been trying to put FreeBSD on my laptop (Dell XPS15, l502x). Previously, the memory stick worked (10.1 works), but on FreeBSD 10.3 and 11.0 (I haven't tried 10.2), boot fails with an "Operating system not found" message on screen. My laptop uses the traditional BIOS and UEFI I have a...

As I am new to this forum, I apologize if this the wrong place to ask for this advise/experience. If inappropriate, please point me to forum that might answer this post. Currently I am running a Macpro with El Capitan version 10.11.5. Due to SIP, making a bootable USB/EFI is very difficult for...

Which FreeBSD image should I install from? I am moving from 9.3 to 10.2 and I see there is a DVD version and a CD version. So can I assume that the DVD contains everything that is on the CD and more? In other words, is the DVD a superset of the CD?
