(Quote) I'll go for it; makes no odds to me. :-)
-
(Quote) Crikey! Glad that you didn't tell us a more difficult way! ;)
-
(Quote) Can your kernel be made available?
-
(Quote) Makes sense that the two working VM that I have are both on (different) AMD CPUs.
-
(Quote) Apologies but it was a little bit too cryptic for my advancing years. Now that I re-read your posts, I can see how it fits in. :+1: I know, it has taken me a while to reach the same point, though in my defense, it was from a position of no e…

Goes off to try the above with VirtFusion (again).. .. retried with Linveo and the installation kernel doesn't startup (looping back to grub). So it looks as though there's a fundamental difference (perhaps a setting like pass-through) in Virtfusio…
-
..Much later. I created a new Debian 11 VM on my Proxmox server and booted it up. 'history' (Quote) (Spoiler) As before UUID was copied from the default /etc/boot/grub.cfg entry. (Quote)
-
Haven't found much more, though in /var/log/messages: (Quote) Whereas post install/reboot: (Quote)

(Quote) I'm kinda pee'd off 'cos after trying numerous failures, I didn't have the exact steps that finally got this to work, on the Virmach VPS. So now, I'm struggling to recreate it on the Linveo one. Primarily due to me making changes directly in…
-
Somehow, after a few hiccups, I got NetBSD to boot and install, via Linux (Debian 11). This was on an idle Virmach VPS with plenty of resources - now to try the same on the Linveo one..
-
(Quote) Goes off to break something.. ;)
-
^ I prefer the new layout, if nothing else. ;)
-
For anyone who doesn't mind playing: your mission, should you choose to accept it.. Using FreeBSD (as that's appears to be the easiest to get running), install webmin along with an appropriate firewall, with webmin working GUI. On the face of it, I'…

Mmmm @ item 14. :)
-
Off to a great start with this location: (Quote) Have had responsive support, for a good experience. Thanks @HostMayo
-
(Quote) https://man.netbsd.org/NetBSD-10.x-BRANCH/boot.8 might glean some clues?
-
(Quote) As an avid semi-amatoor, it strikes me that you'd need to put in boot parameters, such as initram and rootfs.
-
(Quote) From the above self-install netboot.xyz method.. (Quote) Silly me just re-discovered the "Other BSD" templates - do'h! No luck with either, presumably with cloud-init still disabled on my VM. (Spoiler)
-
@linveo BTW, it's perfect having a decent amount of backup slots available. When experimenting at least one doesn't need to start from scratch each time there's a fubar. :+1: Good job! :D B)
-
(Quote) Therein lies the rub - I've seen some real nasty 'hidden gems' that get inserted, including ssh keys (don't recall who that was) and have fun tracing what the likes of OVH do. Much prefer using a minimal ISO, even though some bloat eg. wi-fi…
-
^ Yup this is how I booted netboot.xyz and my VM is in Texas That particular netboot doesn't have NetBSD; is there one that does? I was going to try the template ones, with cloud-init turned off but they vanished from VF. (Not a lover of cloud-init …
-
I used netboot.xyz and got OpenBSD booted and (semi-)manually installed - hurrah! 1st time ever on OpenBSD (as I was on FreeBSD). What a very interesting old-skool automatic disk allocation; pre-defined X partitions on a server, even though I didn't…
-
(Quote) Will do - I need zzzz first. :)
-
(Quote) I'll give it a bash. (Quote) I managed to easily install webmin, and enjoying 'playing' around.
-
Looks like I chose the easy option, guys - phew!
-
I was having "fun" last night, re-learning to live without systemctl and ip commands, amongst others. UFS: that's a first for me. :)
-
Off to a flying start but time for zzzz.
-
(Quote) I'll second that. :+1: Though I'll give FreeBSD a whirl (first), given the comments above.
-
(Quote) As Autumn is truly established here, I wish I was back there (if only for the climate). ;)
-
(Quote) Done. Thanks for the offer.
-
(Quote) Fake news! Was getting excited then realised the prices were nowhere near a Kansas, USA provider, let alone Online/Scaleway. Bummer. Here was me thinking I was on LOWEND Spirit; must be delusional. :/
-
(Quote) No takers? Mind you, given the "fun & games" with hestiacp DNS clusters (poorly documented/explained), then I may have to go back three decades to CLI admin duties. Gawd, even sysadmsh gave some assistance!
-
As I came from System V roots, BSD would seem a natural choice but 'mainline' Linux got in the way. There's the practicality of drivers for desktop use, along with essential programs (Apps, for the kids out there).
-
(Quote) Did someone say freebie?! :+1: :D
-
Ooh, awaiting a LES-priced VPS deal. Then our dragons can be linked. ;-)
-
Keeping topical (on a different thread), what web control panel(s) do people typically use, with BSD?
-
For personal use, save your money and use Control(Centos) Webpanel or the much more basic TinyCP.

(Quote) I hate moths - they shed powdery stuff - yuk!

^^ Another lamb to the slaughter. :|
