Greetings,
I am curious. I did a search of the forums, and didn't find anything. Is it possible to run FreeBSD 13 a raspberry pi model 3B+ completely from a USB external drive (as opposed to running on the microSD drive)? I have FreeBSD 13.2 running on the SD card on the pi, But I ran across a confluence of circumstances/desires in the last day or so:
Thanks,

I have FreeBSD 13.2 running on the SD card on the pi, But I ran across a confluence of circumstances/desires in the last day or so:
- Upgrading form 13.1 to 13.2 took nearly 8 hours on the SD card;
- An external drive is a couple of orders of magnitude faster than a microSD;
- I'd like to run ZFS on the pi, if possible (memory may be a constraint precluding this);
- I found a 1TB (pre SMR) WD Passport drive sitting i a desk drawer collecting dust.
Thanks,
