Re: FreeBSD 15.0R is available on hetzner cloud

I installed FreeBSD on dedicated servers using the Linux Rescue System. It's time-consuming, especially with a root-on-ZFS installation, and boot failures need to be checked in the Linux rescue system by mounting the ZFS dataset to view the logs.

I haven't installed FreeBSD 15 yet, but I might wait a while before I do.
