Always install SSH, so that you can use ssh(1) and/or sshfs(1). If SSH fails, use a USB flash drive and "sneaker net". As a last resort, use a camera and transcribe.

I could not get it to work because one partition needs to be root "/" and it was named "zfs-root" or similar. I will have to try again. I had installed before using mfsbsd, but I used guided and autozfs and swap was 2 or 4 GB, but en I tried to build rust for firefox I ran out of swap space. Machine has 8GB of ram, but nonetheless crashed. I wanted to create a 16 GB swap partition to build rust Firefox and other power hungry apps that require it. I erased the hard drive several times and in the end I blew the hardrivw and machine does not power up with the hard drive. So I will need to get another disk and try again. I ran tests and hard drive passed on to the /dev/null . Thank you for your help. Best Regards, Antonio
