Install FreeBSD 14.1 on Hetzner server

Hetzner no longer offers direct install of FreeBSD, but we can do it ourselves. Here is how :)

Boot the hetzner server in Hetnzer Debain based rescue mode. ssh into it. then:

wget https://mfsbsd.vx.sk/files/iso/14/amd64/mfsbsd-14.1-RELEASE-amd64.iso

qemu-system-x86_64 \

find out which are the BE filesystems:

$ zfs list
