This morning I decided to update my Raspberry Pi 4 to the latest patch of FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE. It's a UFS setup, running in read-only mode, as I mentioned in a previous post: https://it-notes.dragas.net/2024/05/31/freebsd-tips-and-tricks-native-ro-rootfs/

I remounted it in rw, rebooted, and started the process... halfway through, a power surge hit and everything shut down.

TIL: UFS is quite resilient to these situations, even on an SD card, and even during a freebsd-update.

#FreeBSD #RunBSD

@stefano wait I can install FreeBSD on my Raspberry Pi 4? 🤯🤩 I’ll buy a new SD card ASAP for this experiment

@_elena it runs great there, I'm sure you'll like it.

Read carefully... It runs but it is not as straightforward as you might think.

Hi @stefano,
can you recommend a writeup for #headless #bootstrap​ping a #Rpi4 with #BSD?

@mro hello Marcus! I'm not aware of any of them, but boosting your post so maybe other will be able to help!
