When I installed FreeBSD on my Hetzner servers, I did so by booting the servers into the Linux based rescue mode and then I think I used dd to write the mfsBSD media onto one of the hard drives.
This way I didn’t have to request KVM access for my servers.
Perhaps a similar method can be used in order to install ZFSBootMenu
- themoonisachees 3y agoNice tip but if you fail your server is toast and that's an interesting support ticket.
- codetrotter 3y agoTheir Linux based rescue mode boots from network. I should probably specify though that I do this when setting up a new server. If you fail then it should still be possible to select their Linux rescue image again from the Hetzner control panel and force reboot the server. I seem to recall that I had to try a couple of times before I got it right. And that I did exactly that; select their rescue image again and force reboot.
- wkat4242 3y agoNot a big deal though when you're doing a fresh install. Just cancel the server and provision a new one.
