Allow installation of FreeBSD to a partition – not taking an entire disk/device #140

Some users naturally want to install to part of a disk, without overwriting data on other parts.

Keywords might include multi-boot.

Depends on: https://github.com/helloSystem/hello/issues/61

grahamperrin commented 3 years ago

Thanks. Additional use case: the user preconfigures a disk with a partition that's ready for the installation.

Food for thought, with regard to rEFInd (although please note, I don't imagine use of pc-sysinstall for helloSystem):

Yes, I had been thinking about using rEFInd or Clover before, but to have all FreeBSD related features (like Boot Environments) it would probably need considerable work.
