wiki:TestingViaNFS

In order to test NanoBSD WirelessLeiden image there are various options available. One of them is via NFS

XXX: Make pretty document, with some explanations

Initial procedure

Note: All commands below needed to be executed by root user. Make sure not to alter a production machine as you will most likely leave your machine vulnerable for attacked and undiscovered exploits. Also to be advised to have the machine run behind a NAT/firewall setup.

Install packages

$ pkg_add -r isc-dhcp3-server

Create/alter files

Hints provided below, use common sense and ask questions on the mailinglist if you do not seems to get a bit.

$ cat /etc/rc.conf 
hostname="richard.wleiden.net"
ifconfig_xl0="inet 172.19.137.70/27"

# TFTP server, initial boot

# NFS server, kernel and more

$ cat /etc/exports

/usr/data -alldirs -maproot=root -network 192.168.4.0/24
$ cat /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf

}
$ grep -v '#' /etc/inetd.conf

$ mkdir /tftpboot
$ cp /boot/pxeboot /tftpboot
$ grep 'rpcbind :' /etc/hosts.allow

#rpcbind : 192.0.2.96/255.255.255.224 : allow
#rpcbind : ALL : deny
$ mkdir -p /usr/data/{base,nfs,cfg}

Restart services

XXX: Write proper list of services to restart w/o rebooting (take special care of NFS)

$ reboot

Usage procedure

  1. Make sure you build yourself an nanobsd image
  2. Choose NFS testing variant:
    1. Start fresh (no old configuration)
      $ /root/nanobsd/tools/prepare-nfs.sh
      
    2. Use old configuration
      $ /root/nanobsd/tools/prepare-nfs.sh -n
      
  3. When done, 'unload' image
    $ /root/nanobsd/tools/prepare-nfs.sh -u
    

Background

  • Inside your booted image /nfs will be mounted to your target machine directory /usr/data/nfs pointers to pre-build images (for direct burn to CF disk) also exists in this directory
  • cfg will be stored on the target machine under /usr/data/cfg

Hints

%cat ~/.cshrc 
alias serial	sudo cu -s 9600 -l /dev/cuaU0
alias on	sispmctl -o all
alias off	sispmctl -f all
alias toggle	sispmctl -t all
