Hi,
I have a dedicated server (Kimsufi KS-LE-2), with 2 disks.
I would like to setup this server as follow :
1/ Disk structure
A zpool (ZFS) with a mirror using both disks (sda, sdb). This would result in a config looking like this :

2/ Operating System
I would like to install FreeBSD 14.2 on this server.Questions I have:
- How can I mount the FreeBSD Installer image (ISO-IMAGE), and boot on it?
- https://download.freebsd.org/releases/ISO-IMAGES/14.2/FreeBSD-14.2-RELEASE-amd64-mini-memstick.img
- If this is possible, the reste will be easy to achieve (shell console to setup my zpool, then follow installer for FreeBSD base installation)
- I have read several community topics proposing a solution based on “Bring Your Own Image - byoi”, using a RAW or QCOW2.
- I have tried this, but wan never able to boot past the FreeBSD bootloader.
- Looking at the disk structure (from Debian rescue), it show that the RAW image was burned on 1 of the two disks. Imagining I could boot this OS (which I have not been able to), I do not see how I can the change the disk structure to a ZFS Pool with a MIRROR
NB : I do not have past experience with RAW and QCOW2 images. I understand that they are pre-installed images.
Possibly, I am missing some knowledge on how to prepare them before sending them through “Bring Your Own Image - byoi” process. Help would be very much appreciated.
