FreeNAS 11.1-RELEASE worked without a problem, but when FreeNAS 11.2 was released, I could not get it to boot from a USB drive so couldn't install it. I eventually found a work-around by writing the ISO to a DVD disc and booting from that. So, as you can see, boot problems are...

- Huh? You can install Unraid on any USB drive that you have laying around and be back up in minutes. Transferring a license to a new disk is easy and automated directly through Unraid. With TrueNAS if your OS drive fails (and you don't have a raid mirror or mirrored spare) you're...
Installing this program is straightforward, with options for installation on bare metal or as a virtual machine. The installation process involves booting from a USB drive or CD/DVD and following the on-screen prompts to configure network settings and storage devices. Once installed, users can ...
