Installing FreeNAS as a VM in UnRAID

This took a while to figure out as I had to try several combinations of settings to get it running.

UnRAID 6.3.5
FreeNAS 11

When setting up the VM for FreeNAS, use “FreeBSD” as the template.
For BIOS use “OVMF” and Machine  should be “i440fx-2.7”

When installing FreeNAS make sure it is set to UEFI boot.
