--

Nodefactory based on FreeBSD-10


Scope

  • based on FreeBSD-10.1 (until release use 10-STABLE
  • ubound replaces bind
  • implement latest version of lvrouted (auto update default route)
  • update captive portal
  • cleanup packages
  • possibly replace thttpd (light version of apache?)

A. Setup a FreeBSD host


Warning: 1) Make sure /usr is at least 5GB in size, as building images requires quite some space. 2) Make sure you install the 32bit i386 release of FreeBSD also when your system does support amd64, as cross compiling can give some nasty surprises. Tip: use a separate hard disk, mounted on /usr/obj to speed up the compilation process.


Get yourself a fresh i386 freebsd host with ports and subversion installed as follows:

A.1. Run the basic CD installer

The procedure below has been tested with 10.0 (standard developer install - no ports -, e.g. with default partitioning will fit our needs). Installing FreeBSD is outside the scope of this document, take a look into the FreeBSD handbook Chapter 2 Installing FreeBSD if you do not know the details.
