Usually the assumption is that the microsd images *are* the >installed system rather than a tool you use to install a system. I'm trying to install -current (or stable/13 or releng/13.0) to a bootable usb3-connected external hd on raspberry pi 4 hardware. The goal is to have this pi booting without microsd to a root-on-zfs system. I have used raspios 64-bit to update its firmware and configured it so it tries to boot the microsd card and if this fails, boots to usb3. Took out that card, wrote FreeBSD-14.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-RPI-20210415-14d0cd7225e-246078.img to another and booted it, then ran bsdinstall and selected the external hd. The install fails to progress beyond the point I mentioned. Maybe another wau of doing it would be to just write FreeBSD-14.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-RPI-20210415-14d0cd7225e-246078.img to the hd from my freebsd desktop. Would that method be expected to work? The thing is, I want root-on-zfs *and* booting with no microsd. Just writing the .img to the hd would mean i'd have to abandon zfs. --=20 J. --po1/6EmIxkZ+oXMn Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEE8n3tWhxW11Ccvv9/s8o7QhFzNAUFAmCR+9QACgkQs8o7QhFz NAUQHhAAjq2/tXEfkLtzxqrM3Xld9eQ9f9BANNx1TD1k31jO0j7Ne0Smwx62BuDE WIdldxVwBhBunvOjQeXpdIhSZcai6QSpbdqPWF8Qb9tPTgBAS27+7qnxwMUGi+JO mF/G9v92DJOoHaI/MYzNfMv1HB+1zxf/BoxYM4oz5ioLREEq2ENq2nKqwXyHWYEq PbdUPTfn671fL7xE9NpVyh0yROc1wAJ+zu4gtlzQArt/ehEPAeRzXYGCnGsPlUGe d5Z4vCjNe+7aYBDIBZe1zvvoBScYzy1p2SViNUA1kPSIk7IT0O2qmf09Al+j0P/0 sh1d0x1O+a2hjC/KiwYrT05hic05QLYgd0VDYmdwlE0L/obFig8NIc3dYduDq6So n/bPaYLzJRfp2V3tD0i/4iqPc7mzwO7p6fgTqEN0XQjhA5g82Sj7PyzdznimUsWy yQOd7laBjELVtWVOGQy2GxKzcMXr9uOd3OjbLQ4mozCeBcYZ3UVz3OeDeH3c5+/6 8NXcDDJ/WFMpGd/wX6xD1OugW76QCGw+BYdqOZ0K0fsjik8CPuKbHD/DEwWXf6gt WIqwPwGZ1+4BZwvodUKXD5q4eC3TTIEErypiCKHpHELY4oaIGrcVMzQqPNzbTAS/ RK/H+iICx7OZVv4X/yiiQBK6faJPVB7+pQJd4HXtC8v4cljHaeQ= =i6AP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --po1/6EmIxkZ+oXMn--
