3.1. | Which platform should I download? I have a 64
bit capable Intel® CPU,
but I only see | ||||||||||
amd64 is the term FreeBSD uses for 64-bit compatible x86 architectures (also known as "x86-64" or "x64"). Most modern computers should use amd64. Older hardware should use i386. When installing on a non-x86-compatible architecture, select the platform which best matches the hardware. | |||||||||||
3.2. | Which file do I download to get FreeBSD? | ||||||||||
On the Getting
FreeBSD page, select Any of the following can be used:
Full instructions on this procedure and a little bit more about installation issues in general can be found in the Handbook entry on installing FreeBSD. | |||||||||||
3.3. | What do I do if the install image does not boot? | ||||||||||
This can be caused by not downloading the image in binary mode when using FTP. Some FTP clients default their transfer mode to ascii and attempt to change any end-of-line characters received to match the conventions used by the client's system. This will almost invariably corrupt the boot image. Check the SHA-256 checksum of the downloaded boot image: if it is not exactly that on the server, then the download process is suspect. When using a command line FTP client, type binary at the FTP command prompt after getting connected to the server and before starting the download of the image. | |||||||||||
3.4. | 可以在哪邊找到安裝 FreeBSD 的解說步驟呢? | ||||||||||
Installation instructions can be found at Handbook entry on installing FreeBSD. | |||||||||||
3.5. | 要跑 FreeBSD 至少需要什麼樣的配備呢? | ||||||||||
FreeBSD requires a 486 or better PC, 64 MB or more of RAM, and at least 1.1 GB of hard disk space. | |||||||||||
3.6. | 要怎樣才能自行打造專用的安裝磁片呢? | ||||||||||
Customized FreeBSD installation media can be created by building a custom release. Follow the instructions in the Release Engineering article. | |||||||||||
3.7. | Windows® 可以與 FreeBSD 共存嗎? | ||||||||||
If Windows® is installed first, then yes. FreeBSD's boot manager will then manage to boot Windows® and FreeBSD. If Windows® is installed afterwards, it will overwrite the boot manager. If that happens, see the next section. | |||||||||||
3.8. | Another operating system destroyed my Boot Manager. How do I get it back? | ||||||||||
This depends upon the boot manager.
The FreeBSD boot selection menu can be reinstalled using
boot0cfg(8). For example, to restore the boot menu
onto the disk
The non-interactive MBR bootloader can be installed using gpart(8):
For more complex situations, including GPT disks, see gpart(8). | |||||||||||
3.9. | 我需要安裝完整的原始碼嗎? | ||||||||||
In general, no. There is nothing in the base system which requires the presence of the source to operate. Some ports, like sysutils/lsof, will not build unless the source is installed. In particular, if the port builds a kernel module or directly operates on kernel structures, the source must be installed. | |||||||||||
3.10. | 需要重新 build kernel 嗎? | ||||||||||
Usually not. The supplied | |||||||||||
3.11. | Should I use DES, Blowfish, or MD5 passwords and how do I specify which form my users receive? | ||||||||||
FreeBSD uses
SHA512 by
default. DES
passwords are still available for backwards compatibility
with operating systems that still
use the less secure password format. FreeBSD also supports
the Blowfish and MD5 password formats. Which
password format to use for new passwords is controlled by
the | |||||||||||
3.12. | What are the limits for FFS file systems? | ||||||||||
For FFS file systems, the largest file system is practically limited by the amount of memory required to fsck(8) the file system. fsck(8) requires one bit per fragment, which with the default fragment size of 4 KB equates to 32 MB of memory per TB of disk. This does mean that on architectures which limit userland processes to 2 GB (e.g., i386™), the maximum fsck(8)'able filesystem is ~60 TB. If there was not a fsck(8) memory limit the maximum filesystem size would be 2 ^ 64 (blocks) * 32 KB => 16 Exa * 32 KB => 512 ZettaBytes. The maximum size of a single FFS file is approximately 2 PB with the default block size of 32 KB. Each 32 KB block can point to 4096 blocks. With triple indirect blocks, the calculation is 32 KB * 12 + 32 KB * 4096 + 32 KB * 4096^2 + 32 KB * 4096^3. Increasing the block size to 64 KB will increase the max file size by a factor of 16. | |||||||||||
3.13. | Why do I get an error message, readin failed after compiling and booting a new kernel? | ||||||||||
The world and kernel are out of sync. This
is not supported. Be sure to use Boot the system by specifying the kernel directly at

3.14. | Is there a tool to perform post-installation configuration tasks? | ||||||||||
Yes. bsdconfig provides a nice interface to configure FreeBSD post-installation. |
