- FreeBSD is a powerful OS offering service isolation via jails and easy snapshots with ZFS.
- Many providers no longer support FreeBSD due to Linux dominance, causing issues for diverse OS usage.
- mfsBSD is a tool that creates a bootable image loaded entirely into memory, supporting both UEFI and traditional boot.
- mfsBSD enables installation via SSH without needing a console by obtaining an IP via DHCP and opening an SSH server.
- To install, boot the server in Linux rescue mode, download and write the mfsBSD image to disk using dd, then reboot.
- After reboot, connect via SSH as root with password 'mfsroot', change the password immediately, and run 'bsdinstall' for standard installation.
