Procedure

Please note to find the supporting files in the subdirectory nanobsd

1. Introduction

First download the environment and run initial build

$ setenv R /root/nanobsd
$ svn checkout http://svn.wirelessleiden.nl/svn/projects/iris/nanobsd $R
$ cd $R
$ sh /usr/src/tools/tools/nanobsd/nanobsd.sh -c $R/cfg/nanobsd.wleiden

Even the little script got flags, check the output of sh /usr/src/tools/tools/nanobsd/nanobsd.sh -h

-b suppress builds (both kernel and world)
-k suppress buildkernel
-w suppress buildworld
-c specify config file

XXX: TODO describe procedure

WL specific

stumber, hidden gem maybe /usr/src/tools/tools/net80211/stumber

Hints

• You could always decide to install your FreeBSD base instance into a ​virtual envirionment
