No, you do not use the normal amd64 image that you would install on a standalone PC. You use the special pre-prepared public image through Google's cloud management tools, as described in the section of the release announcement that I quoted above. Here it is again:
Code:
% gcloud compute instances create INSTANCE \
--image freebsd-10-3-release-amd64 \
--image-project=freebsd-org-cloud-dev
% gcloud compute ssh INSTANCE
See also:
Although Google's docs do not currently list FreeBSD, their docs for Linux should mostly be appropriate for things outside the running instance (you just need to use the FreeBSD images instead of Linux images, and then do things the normal FreeBSD way inside the running instance).
Well I prefer to make a special image.
But I have just one problem...
After complete install of FreeBSD I don't know which password to use.
I used this script to make the custom image:
Code:

BUCKETFILE=FreeBSD-${VERSION}-amd64-${TS}.tar.gz

My question is, what password will be assigned to user root after installing?
How I can do to set a password after installation is done?
My idea was to add this maybe I added it wrong? If someone has an idea please reply.
Code:
echo root | pw mod user root -h 0
But it does not work, still says wrong password.
PS: I don't want the google cloud packages, I want a clean very clean fresh installed system.
