Hi guys...I like to give a spin on Debian kfreeBSD but to me it is impossible...

I can't put it on USB ... if I do with dd command get no boot...

if I do with unetbootin get invalid or corrupt kernel image...

do I need to put on USB under BSD dd command ???

some tip(s) will be appreciate it!

Sounds like it may be CD only & not a hybrid CD, which is what is needed to dd onto a pendrive.
(No real difference between Linux & BSD dd.)

Q. Are there instructions for downloading and installing kfreebsd, that don't require previous knowledge of Debian?

A. Yes, see the installation manuals for kfreebsd-i386 and kfreebsd-amd64. Note that installing from USB drive is not supported in squeeze. If you can't install from network and you don't have a CD-ROM drive you can run the installer under QEMU and then copy the resulting image to a USB stick:

wget ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/sq...tboot/mini.iso
dd if=/dev/zero of=root.img bs=1M count=0 seek=4k
qemu-system-x86_64 -hda root.img -cdrom mini.iso
sudo dd if=root.img of=/dev/disk-id/NAME_OF_DEVICE
