Install rEFInd on Windows 11 to allow for booting into multiple OSes.
These are my notes to install rEFInd on the Windows 11 EFI partition. A lot of inspiration came from
the following YT video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgipyyaxSmE. I did some research on the side too.
## Introduction
On UEFI based systems, the Windows 11 installer creates a 100 MB FAT 32 formatted partition. By default, Windows 11 installs
its own bootloader on this partition. We will install rEFInd instead to pick an OS to boot into at boot time.
## Installation

Install FreeBSD 14.1 with UFSv2 and GELI encryption on a UEFI based system.
These are my notes for installing FreeBSD on a UEFI based system using the UFSv2 filesystem and encrypting it with GELI.
## Introduction
I've set up Windows 11 on my Lenovo x280. I now want to install FreeBSD alongside Windows 11.
I've already replaced the default UEFI boot manager with rEFInd. Now comes the FreeBSD installation. Let's go.
## Commands
1. Create a bootable FreeBSD amd64 USB key. Go to https://www.freebsd.org and download the latest release.

Install NetBSD 10.1 with FFS and CGD encryption on a UEFI based system.
## Introduction
I want to install NetBSD 10.1 alongside Windows 11 and FreeBSD 14.2. I'm using rEFInd to boot into either one of these OSes.
## Commands
1. Create a bootable FreeBSD amd64 USB key. Go to http://ftp.fr.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/images/10.1
and download NetBSD-10.1-amd64-install.img.gz.
2. Burn the image onto a USB disk (dd or rufus). Make sure to enable the UEFI mode if you burn the ISO with rufus.
3. Boot off of the USB key and into the FreeBSD live system.
