Since my old guide on how to install FreeBSD Root on ZFS using GPT is soon going to be all but unusable, I have decided to do a remix of the guide for the new BSDInstall¹ versions of FreeBSD. Being that this is going to be a newer rendition of my older guide most of the introductory discussion will be left out. See the older guide if you wish to read this.

As you may have noticed I have converted my site into a blog in addition to being a repository for FreeBSD information. This is in part due to discussions with some friends and colleagues about the couple HOWTOs I had posted on my site. I have since decided that I will start sharing more of my personal FreeBSD experience and findings.

As most of the work in designing the new website is now completed, I have shifted my focus to compiling and releasing more on FreeBSD. As far as topics I have decided to start off the first couple with beginning level guides.
