+FreeBSD ZFS on root with GPT
+============================
+
+This small guide will show you how to install FreeBSD on root using ZFS from a
+FreeBSD shell.
+
+You need to boot a FreeBSD shell userland, official FreeBSD ISOs have a shell
+option when booting them.
+
+Partitioning
+------------
+
+In this example, we will use one disk `/dev/ada0` and one swap partition of 4GB
+size, adjust to your needs.
+
+### Destroy and create GPT scheme
+
+    gpart destroy -F ada0
+    gpart create -s gpt ada0
+
+### Add partitions
+
+    gpart add -t freebsd-boot -s 128k -l boot0 ada0 
+    gpart add -t freebsd-swap -s 4g -l swap0 ada0
+    gpart add -t freebsd-zfs -l disk0 ada0
+    gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ada0
+
+### Create zpool
+
+    kldload zfs 
+    zpool create -f -o altroot=/mnt -O canmount=off -m none zroot /dev/gpt/disk0 
+
+### Create ZFS datasets
+
+The following datasets are mandatory.
+
+    zfs set checksum=fletcher4 zroot
+    zfs set atime=off zroot
+    zfs create -o mountpoint=none zroot/ROOT
+    zfs create -o mountpoint=/ zroot/ROOT/default
+    zpool set bootfs=zroot/ROOT/default zroot
+
+The following datasets are optional.
+
+    zfs create -o mountpoint=/tmp -o compression=lz4 -o setuid=off zroot/tmp
+    zfs create -o mountpoint=/usr zroot/usr
+    zfs create zroot/usr/local
+    zfs create -o mountpoint=/home -o setuid=off   zroot/home
+    zfs create -o compression=lz4 -o setuid=off zroot/usr/ports
+    zfs create -o compression=off -o exec=off -o setuid=off zroot/usr/ports/distfiles
+    zfs create -o compression=off -o exec=off -o setuid=off zroot/usr/ports/packages
+    zfs create -o compression=lz4 -o exec=off -o setuid=off zroot/usr/src
+    zfs create zroot/usr/obj
+    zfs create -o mountpoint=/var zroot/var
+    zfs create -o compression=lz4 -o exec=off -o setuid=off zroot/var/crash
+    zfs create -o exec=off -o setuid=off zroot/var/db
+    zfs create -o compression=lz4 -o exec=on -o setuid=off zroot/var/db/pkg
+    zfs create -o exec=off -o setuid=off zroot/var/empty
+    zfs create -o compression=lz4 -o exec=off -o setuid=off zroot/var/log
+    zfs create -o compression=gzip -o exec=off -o setuid=off zroot/var/mail
+    zfs create -o exec=off -o setuid=off zroot/var/run
+    zfs create -o compression=lz4 -o exec=on -o setuid=off zroot/var/tmp
+
+Required if you have created the following datasets.
+
+    chmod 1777 /mnt/tmp
+    chmod 1777 /mnt/var/tmp
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+Now we will fetch our sets for FreeBSD, adjust the version, in this guide we
+will use 11.1-RELEASE.
+
+    cd /mnt
+    fetch http://ftp.fr.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/11.1-RELEASE/base.txz
+    fetch http://ftp.fr.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/11.1-RELEASE/kernel.txz
+    tar xJpf base.txz
+    tar xJpf kernel.txz
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+Enter the chroot to do minimal mandatory steps.
+
+### Setup root password
+
+    chroot /mnt
+    passwd
+
+### Enable ZFS
+
+    echo "/dev/gpt/swap0 none swap sw 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
+    echo "zfs_load=YES" >> /boot/loader.conf
+    echo "zfs_enable=YES" >> /etc/rc.conf
+
+### Add an user (optional)
+
+    pw useradd your_user -c "Real Name" -G wheel,operator -m
+    passwd your_user
+
+Terminate
+---------
+
+Exit the chroot and reboot.
+
+    exit
+    shutdown -r now
