If it does not meet your needs, perhaps your should contact the author: https://mfsbsd.vx.sk/ Or, perhaps you should use an official FreeBSD installer: https://www.freebsd.org/releases/12.1R/announce.html For "Partitioning", choose "Auto (ZFS)" and you will be able to set the swap size. As there is no obvious way to set the boot or root sizes, consider installing onto a small SSD -- to facilitate backups, restores, and migrations. I find that 16 GB devices are sufficient for lightweight graphical workstations. > with ZFS and I > configured SWAP like I wanted to 4GB of SWAP or 2G is not enough. I > have experience many crashes.

Always install SSH, so that you can use ssh(1) and/or sshfs(1). If SSH fails, use a USB flash drive and "sneaker net". As a last resort, use a camera and transcribe. Copy and paste exact and complete console sessions into support requests and replies -- prompt, command entered, and output obtained. David
