Hi Daniel, thanks for yr input. Managed to get a little further with your instructions, but now the error is "no root partition found. The root FreeBSD partition must have a mountpoint of '/'". This happens after the disk is selected to install zfs-on-root If I remove the zfs element from the script, re-run it then select auto ufs, it gets a little further then fails at the point where it wants to alter the MBR, with the same error message. Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way. What I really need is an installer. As far as I can tell, the only things available for arm64.aarch64 for the rpi4 are bootable images - ie without installer. -- J.
