## Online.net account

On your Online.net account via [console.online.net](https://console.online.net/), go to:

- **“Server”** dropdown menu, then **“Servers list”**.
- Click on **“Manage”** on the right.
- **“Rescue”** button.
- As operating system select **“Ubuntu 20.04 amd64”**.
- Then start the operation, you server will boot on the Ubuntu live CD.

## Dedibox server

- Log in the rescue live system through ssh with the provided ip/credentials.
- The provided Ubuntu version is outdated (Ubuntu Saucy), so the apt repositories have to be modified before Qemu could be installed:

```
$ sudo -s
# apt update
# apt install qemu-kvm
```

Fetch a FreeBSD Installer ISO image:

```shell
# cd /tmp
# wget https://download.freebsd.org/releases/ISO-IMAGES/14.2/FreeBSD-14.2-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso
# wget https://download.freebsd.org/releases/ISO-IMAGES/14.2/CHECKSUM.SHA256-FreeBSD-14.2-RELEASE-amd64
# sha256sum FreeBSD-14.2-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso
d063e48b81b99005c8097e60377c23fb07e4116c5f0c0b41a5dc368fc4df6bf9  FreeBSD-14.2-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso
# cat CHECKSUM.SHA256-FreeBSD-14.2-RELEASE-amd64 | grep FreeBSD-14.2-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso
SHA256 (FreeBSD-14.2-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso) = d063e48b81b99005c8097e60377c23fb07e4116c5f0c0b41a5dc368fc4df6bf9
```

For the post-install network configuration step _(`/etc/rc.conf`)_, try to figure out now what is your NIC model ([Handbook: Locating the correct driver](https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/config-network-setup.html))

```
# lspci -v | grep Ethernet
00:14.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection I354 2.5 GbE Backplane (rev 03)
	Subsystem: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection I354 2.5 GbE Backplane
```
