I've just got my first dedicated server and I want to install FreeBSD on it but I'm slightly confused as to how to go about doing so. This is the screen I am trying to use:

If I click save or mount not much seems to happen. To be honest I'm not sure what I am doing.

If someone could give some tips I would really appreciate it!

not used it my self, but the photo indicates the media/iso isnt mounted (see the unmount options is greyed out).

Thank you.

That is what I thought but wasn't sure if I was doing something weird. I mean does it need to be available on FTP or HTTP?

I would have thought that was more for access to an ISO on a local drive (or at least SMB Share) rather than on an FTP server?

You are probably right but I'm not sure. I'll open a ticket and see what the host says. Thank you.

Thank you all! Figured it out. I'm an idiot.

The ISO image needs to be shared from a Samba share. I'll just spin a cheap VPS to handle things like that.
