Hi, I tried the new iso image FreeBSD-14.0-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-bootonly.iso on the Hetzner.com arm64 cloud. There are a lot of improvements since FreeBSD 13.2 for arm64. Everything worked fine during the installation, I used the default setup with zfs. Thanks to everybody who made this possible! The system reports itself as: hw.model: ARM Neoverse-N1 r3p1 apparently an Ampere =C2=AE Altra =C2=AE Q80-30 CPU. In case you are wondering about the performance - I tried the biggest VM and ran 'make buildworld'. It took 30minutes. hetzner cax41 (arm64), 16 cores, 32GB RAM, zfs on nvme >>> World built in 1817 seconds, ncpu: 16, make -j16 disk I/O: 1.3Gbyte/s The arm64 VMs at hetzner.com have more RAM or CPU for the same price as the intel/amd based VM. I estimate overall the arm64 VMs are are 30-40% cheaper than amd64 VMs at Hetzner. -Wolfram --=20 Wolfram Schneider <wosch@FreeBSD.org> https://wolfram.schneider.org
