FreeBSD Install Without Sysinstall
I was bored and thought i'd do a freebsd installation without the "aid" of sysinstall. Here's some instructions if anyone else wishes to do it
Here's how to do it: Required materials : FreeBSD install ISO A hard drive A current install of FreeBSD ( or a live cd ) 1. Boot you freebsd installation 2. mount the ISO image Code:
# mkdir /mnt/iso # mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /path/to/iso -u 0 # mount -r /dev/md0 /mnt/iso Code:
# sudo fdisk -i /dev/da0 4. Create the partitions with bsdlabel. It's easier to use your current partition table and just edit. Here is the bsdlabel file i made Quote:
Code:
# newfs /dev/da0s1a .... Code:
# mkdir /mnt/install # mount /dev/da0s1a /mnt/install # cd /mnt/install # mkdir usr var tmp # mount /dev/da0s1d /usr # mount /dev/da0s1e /tmp # mount /dev/da0s1f /var Code:
# cd /mnt/iso # ls 7.0-RELEASE HARDWARE.HTM README.TXT boot docbook.css ERRATA.HTM HARDWARE.TXT RELNOTES.HTM boot.catalog floppies ERRATA.TXT README.HTM RELNOTES.TXT cdrom.inf packages # cd 7.0-RELEASE # ls base doc kernels ports catpages games lib32 proflibs dict info manpages src Code:
# export DESTDIR=/mnt/install If you are really lazy you can do the following: Code:
# for i in `ls | grep -v kernel | grep -v src`; do cd $i; ./install.sh; cd ..; done 7. That's it !
