@stefanoStefano Marinelli I've used mfsBSD many times to install FreeBSD on IONOS Linux VPS (they supported *BSD before they switched from VMware to KVM).
For some reason I always had to delete the contents of /dev/sda first though (dd if=/den/zero of=/dev/sda) or mfsBSD woudln't boot and because sometimes the image was too big for the RAM disk, I had to pipe wget directly into /dev/sda. ^^
