Hi everyone, I managed to run FreeBSD on Scaleway's cheap ThunderX KVM virtual servers. The full notes are on their forum: https://community.online.net/t/freebsd-on-arm64/6678 tl;dr: - run Ubuntu, copy root fs to a tmpfs, pivot_root into the tmpfs - download memstick image, dd it onto the disk - resize the GPT using gdisk from 2 to 4 entries (related bug in geom/gpart: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=229977) - reboot, 'set console=comconsole,efi' and 'boot' - install, using shell for partitioning, create a ZFS partition after the installer one - in the post-install chroot, add 'opensolaris_load="YES"' and 'console="comconsole,efi"' to /boot/loader.conf and 'zfs_enable="YES"' to /etc/rc.conf - reboot and it works!
