in rc.conf. You should really only add modules to loader.conf if they're required for booting the machine (the NVidia module isn't). And with a modern NVidia card you likely need to load nvidia-modeset instead. zfs mount zroot/ROOT/default
. Then you should be able to access /mnt/boot/loader.conf.nvidia_load="YES"
nvidia_name="nvidia"
nvidia_modeset_load="YES"
nvidia_modeset_name="nvidia-modeset"
Only if you use the driver from the NVidia website itself. Which you shouldn't be using, use x11/nvidia-driver (it's the exact same driver but installs in a FreeBSD proper way). The "problem" with the NVidia driver installer is that it also replaces/overwrites a couple of X11 libraries and does a few other unwanted things. Besides that, if you install the port/package then you can more easily keep track of it (updates).while make install the NVIDIA-driver writes the stuff in the /boot/loader.conf by itself:
nvidia.ko
to copy into the frozen-boot system to even get that installworld
left the v12 one in place. etcupdate -B
system.Did you tryI am in the "Shell" option of install media, but cannot see any ZFS pool via zpool status to import or mount. Could it be because of GELI encryption ?
zpool import
or zfs get mountpoint,canmount zroot
? Please refer to this post -- following ShelLuser's advice worked for me, but is a bit complicated to explain. There is not a single easy answer. zfs unmount
to get a clean unmount before rebooting. Also zfs(8) and zpool(8) are well worth a read.zpool import -o altroot=/mnt zroot
-R root
Sets the cachefile property to none and the altroot
property to root.
