excuse me, I meant did the hardware die or is it only the software part ?

on udf unless ya got some reason for zfs

i Tried Fdisk from Shell but it says Some Unrelated Errors
ill try again and Send The Errors with parted and fdisk
For FreeBSD, you might use tools
gpart show
gpart status
gpart list
geom disk list
camcontrol dev list
man gpart
man geom
Fred
there is a command sequence to write boot0 to the MBR and then a boot1. Read the FreeBSD handbook for more details.
In GhostBSD, we use rEFInd boot manager to boot the GhostBSD kernel.

It makes logical partitions
Fred
I read some where that FreeBSD supports 4 primary partitions, and NO logical partitions. So, GPT and UEFI are better . GPT supports 128 partitions, UEFI needs one FAT32 partition 50 MegaBytes or larger in size. for ESP .
you could buy a 64 or 128 GB USB 3.0 and install your FreeBSD to that and boot from that device.
Fred
I did this with GhostSBD 13.0. Which I am using on a 128 GB usb 3.0 flash drive.

who kowns if i add log to zroot ，kernel will panic

this must be a bug

because the windows ISO is just a bunch of files, it doesnt contain any filesystem.

here's what you do:

create a usb with mbr parition table
make a primary fat32 partition
then mount the iso and copy all of it's files into the fat32 partition

This disc contains a "UDF" file system and requires an operating system
this is message of mounted windows iso.

I think dd can detect and convert them. I used raw image and it worked

Hey guys , is it a good idea to install FreeBSD on my main hardware and delete Linux ? 😅
I'm looking for a more secure operating system than Linux.
But i have never tried FreeBSD on my hardware (i tested FreeBSD, 3 times on Qemu)
Is Dell Inspiron N4030 compatible with FreeBSD ?

If you're after security, go for openbsd

then dd them to a flash drive and test drive them, qemu is not a good indicator if an OS will work on your machine

I think you can test FreeBSD in the live mode.

You can download "FreeBSD-13.0-RELEASE-amd64.raw.xz" and dd it to a usb

Hey guys is it possible to Dual boot Fedora Linux and FreeBSD on a MBR (non uefi/gpt) computer ??
I already have 3 partitions :
/dev/sda1 --> ext4 --> for storing my Fedora Linux backup files (40 GiB)
/dev/sda2 --> btrfs with Luks 2 --> Fedora Linux (100 GiB) (/)
/dev/sda3 --> ext4 (512 MiB) (/boot)
ɴꙩᴍᴀᴅ
I've always used separate disks for that. Maybe some guide like this dual-booting FreeBSD can help you @Extensible_Matrix

Thank you 👌
Do i need to make a separate slice (partition) for /boot in FreeBSD or a single partition for everything is enough ?? (MBR has the 4 partition limit)
ɴꙩᴍᴀᴅ
One partition for FreeBSD should be fine. It may create separate partitions inside the one you specify for it
Krond
Yeah, there was old boot0 block that allowed selecting which MBR partition to boot from.

I'm trying to recover some data from a external disk that has FreeBSD installation on it.
So far I've managed to access the partition where zfs is located by doing:
$ doas zpool import -f zroot zroot02 -d /dev/da0p4 -R /mnt/tmp/
It mounts, but I can't locate /etc directory.
Is there a way to do so?

Check zfs attributes, there was something like noautomount
Andriy
For root volume where etc is located

The problem is that the installer sets the canmount option to false for the root filesystem and that results in the filesystem not being automatically mounted the very moment you import the ZFS pool.

Oh, now I get it (kind of). I imported the pool but didn't mount it.
Doing
$ doas zfs mount zroot02/ROOT/default
completes the mounting. Now I can recover .conf and .rules from /etc.
Thank you so much
