And the compiler toolchain, in this case LLVM/Clang is not part of the base install. but has to be installed through the ports/packages system.
I could install
lynx, but the install of
alpine failed. The system complained about missing a
stdc++1.14 library. As mentioned in the first post I did not use the standard Bitrig
bsd.rd installer because of lack of a CD recordable. Because I was not in the mood to set up a PXE install, I installed manually:
# fdisk -i sd0
to initalize a MBR
# disklabel -e sd0
to create a root partition labelled 'a' and swap labelled 'b'
# newfs /dev/rsd0a
to format partition 'a'
- mounted the 'a'partition
- untarred the base01.tgz and etc01.tgz
Because I forgot to mount the USB stick with the softdep,noatime options the unpacking took quite a long time.
- installed the bootblocks
- ran MAKEDEV to create the static /dev device entries
- enabled DHCP in /etc/hostname.bge0
I have to admit I initially forgot the
MAKEDEV . Recently I did some manual FreeBSD installs. Because FreeBSD's
/dev/ is populated dynamically, it does not need this step.
Maybe there is something extra that the Bitrig install does that I skipped . I will have to redo the install using their
bsd.rd and find out.
BTW the boot messages are in green instead of blue
