I don't see any general reason why this wouldn't work, people have used it in the past - https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2017-September/087746.html >From inside the installer, it would be worth sharing with the list: - dmesg - sysctl machdep.bootmethod - relevant disk controller bits of `pciconf -lv` and comparing what you see when booting from h/w (not memstick.img) to see if it comes up in UEFI or BIOS mode. While dealing with these issues I would start out first with a single drive and see if FreeBSD will boot to "plain zfs" first. I'm not familiar with raidz3, but that's where I'd start off. A+ Dave
