If you follow this base article (resulting in a working FreeBSD system) and the two additional articles, about adding a mirror drive and about an encrypted base system, you will have a robust FreeBSD installation focussing on a good balance between confidentiality, integrity and availability. a bootable base system with encryption don't listen to the nay-sayers ). ZFS mirror, contemplating the possibility of unequal drive size when replacing a faulty drive) and future security (i.e. Your FreeBSD installation will be fully functional after following the steps presented, taking into account future expandability (e.g. This article describes a FreeBSD installation with the voluntary option to add encryption and a ZFS mirrored drive. Thus, at the end of this article you will have a fully functioning FreeBSD installation with the optional possibility to increase confidentiality, integrity and availability.
