Does anyone have step by step instructions on installing FreeBSD
alongside Linux?
reddit / BSD

I have Linux installed across 2 drives with root at my SSD and Home at
my HD.

I'd like to install FreeBSD with / on /dev/sdb4 and /home on /dev/sda2

Also installing over wifi

Not step by step instructions, but back when I had this set up I used
uefi which made it hella easy. I installed refind on the efi partition
which would then boot Linux directly or load the FreeBSD EFI
bootloader.

I'm particularly interested in installing a ZFS encrypted root
alongside another OS.

First install Linux.  Create the desired partitions during the
installation process using a GPT (EFI) partition table if possible.
Then install FreeBSD and configure the desired partitioning scheme.
Install the FreeBSD boot loader into the existing EFI partition.  This
should be all you need.  You should then be able to select between
Linux and FreeBSD in the EFI boot menu.

What he's saying is he's posting a comment so he can come back later
to see the result. The thing is, Reddit has a feature to save posts,
or he could have just used his bookmarks, but instead he's pointlessly
making a visible comment and confusing you.
