The live filesystem from an installer will work, although mfsBSD is 
nicer.

Pipe the output from dump into an ssh session on the remote machine that 
runs restore.  Leaving out most of the options for clarity:

dump -f - | ssh user@remote 'cd /target && restore -rf -'

If a dump file is desired, it can be created on the SSD filesystem:
http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/backup.html#_code_dump_code_via_ssh

That file can be restored directly on that system.  Since the SSD has 
essentially zero access time, it does not hurt like restoring a dumpfile 
on the same drive.

Try running (sh syntax):

rcorder /etc/rc.d/* /usr/local/etc/rc.d/* 2>&1 | less

On one of my DNS servers, I see these lines:

/etc/rc.d/ipfw
/etc/rc.d/NETWORKING      <--
/etc/rc.d/netwait
/etc/rc.d/mountcritremote
/etc/rc.d/accounting
/etc/rc.d/ldconfig        <--
/etc/rc.d/newsyslog
/etc/rc.d/syslogd         <--
/etc/rc.d/ntpdate
/etc/rc.d/rpcbind
/etc/rc.d/nfsclient
/etc/rc.d/devfs
/etc/rc.d/ipmon
/etc/rc.d/mdconfig2
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/named <--
/etc/rc.d/kdc

If libxml2.so.2 is missing from /usr/local/lib, then check to see if 
files named libxml2.so.2.* exists in /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg/.

In a pinch you might be able to move on by running something like 
this:

ln -s libxml2.so.2.9.2 /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg/libxml2.so.2

Substitute libxml2.so.2.9.2 with the newest file as found in 
your /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg directory. In my case, I can choose 
between libxml2.so.2.9.1 and libxml2.so.2.9.2.

Next, I would probably reinstall/forcefully upgrade textproc/libxml2.

Hi

Why does FreeBSD has such poor support for graphic cards?

I would never consider using a Nvidia card with a closed source driver so I need something other than Nvidia. I have looked at the wiki for supported cards and the list is very small.

Is that because people are simple recommended using Nvidia cards with their closed binary driver so it is not considered "that important", or is it because of a lack of developers or something else?

It makes it almost impossible to run FreeBSD on a desktop with video watching capabilities.

Kind regards
