After performing a few installs of FreeBSD, these are my personal notes of steps taken and choices made. A distilled, short and sweet version of Chapter 2 in the FreeBSD Handbook.
Hardware used is a Thinkpad T480s with 24GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and Intel integrated ethernet/wireless/gpu. Architecture is 'amd64'.
There is always more than one way to do it. This is mine. 🙂
I debated a bit about what size to make the dedicated swap partition (on Linux I skip it entirely ... using swap in RAM instead). I ended up with 8GB. Will see how it goes.
Are swapfiles and/or resizing ZFS partitions in FreeBSD a possibility?
