Hi,
I have been trying to install freebsd onto D945GCLF2 using an bootable usb stick, ..
- first i downloaded the appropriate iso amd64 7.2 version
- then i converted the iso to an img file using a script
- then i used imagemaker to put it onto an usb stick
- then i have tried booting
boot works up until i get something about geom_label, that it has removed ufsid<id>
Script which converts iso to img
