Hello,

I reinstalled FreeBSD 12.1 on my SSD (in the swap partition of my Linux to
test) and on my Hybrid HDD.

Just configured and rc.conf to start my wifi dongle, downoaded git, node
and npm via pkg and... as you can see in my screenshot,
the ZFS already shows corrupted data...

Can't been able to load the FreeBSD from the HDD though, don't know why, if
someone direct me how to load the
kernel from the HDD via loader or grub2, I'll try =3D)

Mario
