Hi,
I try to install FreeBSD on a server hosted afar, they provide mostly Linux server or FreeBSD but on UFS. So, I want to install a FreeBSD on ZFS
They have rescue disk you can launch to access your machine and one you can choose is FreeBSD 11.1 so I tried it.
I was looking for a way to install the system on the disks so I launched bsdinstall:
I chose the keyboard and get first error:
But I continued anyway choosing auto ZFS (RAID-Z1 on 3 disk, encrypted ...) then I chose main ftp site (tried several)
then bsdinstall go on download base.txz and kernel.txz parts (that works) and then fail completely telling me :
??
Any clue on how to proceed ?
I have no clue why all of a sudden it would stop looking at the mirror and want a local media.
Also after exiting properly i have a bunch of mounts left:
I attach the bsdinstall logs but saw no clues in it
If i touch /usr/freebsd-dist/MANIFEST then I got an error of downloading Erro:.txz
seems the bug is known from 2016:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=213488
but there is no solution and what they talk about is Chinese for me
I tried
but why in earth would that be necessary ?
With that it continue (not been able to boot yet but I got the whole install). Is that normal? Why does we need to manually download this ?
