Description

Installation

Boot disk

Create a bootable installation USB stick from FreeBSD.org. Install the disk by:

OS	Command
MacOS	`sudo dd if=FreeBSD-12.2-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img of=/dev/diskX bs=4m`
Linux	`sudo dd if=FreeBSD-12.2-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4=M`

Disks

The best solution is using ZFS. Downside, it will take your whole disk. Encrypt your disk and swap file.
