Hi there
I want to install FreeNAS 9.2.1 on an SSD in my new NAS and I don't have any Optical Drive (except my Wii and the DVD Changer - but both won't help ;) ) in my home anymore.
Is there a way to get the Iso file on an Thumbdrive and install it from there? I don't want the USB stick after the installation in/on my NAS - therefore i have the SSD (which will also be a swap/cache for the System and ZFS Pools).
I know that most of the people just write the img file to an Thumbdrive and use that as system drive.
The only option i see is to start from an live linux and write the image with dd to the SSD and partion it afterwards with gparted (or something else). But when there is an installer why go the complicated way.
