Download the special edition mfsBSD USB memstick image

https://mfsbsd.vx.sk/files/images/14/amd64/mfsbsd-se-14.1-RELEASE-amd64.img

or build it:

$ cd dir
$ mkdir DIST
$ fetch -o DIST https://download.freebsd.org/releases/amd64/14.2-RELEASE/base.txz
$ fetch -o DIST https://download.freebsd.org/releases/amd64/14.2-RELEASE/kernel.txz
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mmatuska/mfsbsd
$ cd mfsbsd
as root:
# make BASE=../DIST SE=1 RELEASE=14.2-RELEASE ARCH=amd64

# dd if=mfsbsd-se-14.2-RELEASE-amd64.img of=/dev/sda bs=1M

where /dev/sda is the boot drive.

On FreeBSD before running this command GEOM safety features should be disabled:

# sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16

Reboot
Login as root, password: mfsroot
# mkdir /mnt/dist
# mount /dev/ada0p3 /mnt/dist
# mkdir /usr/freebsd-dist
# cp /mnt/dist/14.2-RELEASE*/*.txz /usr/freebsd-dist/
# umount /mnt/dist
