--- Comment #6 from Sylvain Garrigues <sylvain at sylvaingarrigues.com> ---
I must add that, to be able to use FreeBSD 11 (or CURRENT) on Google Cloud with
the default 30GB disk, I had to first install the old FreeBSD 10.4 image, which
is hopefully still available (until when?), then freebsd-update to 11.2.

Installing directly the 11.2 release with the instructions given in the
handbook / FreeBSD site fails and result in an error saying the image is too
big.

Just saying this as I think it is a quite common use case, and I find it
annoying FreeBSD cannot be installed with default machine settings.

Plus having the project weekly upload this big images to the cloud seems
overkill, when a 10GB one would be enough (followed by growfs).
