| Remote Installation of the FreeBSD Operating System without a Remote Console | ||

If your system survived the reboot, it should now be possible to log in. Welcome to the fresh FreeBSD installation, performed remotely without the use of a remote console!
The only remaining step is to configure zpool(8) and create some zfs(8) file systems. Creating and administering ZFS is very straightforward. First, create a mirrored pool:
# zpool create tank mirror /dev/ad[01]s1f
Next, create some file systems:
# zfs create tank/ports # zfs create tank/src # zfs set compression=gzip tank/ports # zfs set compression=on tank/src # zfs set mountpoint=/usr/ports tank/ports # zfs set mountpoint=/usr/src tank/src
That's all. If you are interested in more details about ZFS on FreeBSD, please refer to the ZFS section of the FreeBSD Wiki.
