build a custom installation image for ARM RBPI
Date: Tue, 21 Sep 2021 14:18:16 UTC
Hi, I have a RBPI 3B+ running FreeBSD 13 RELEASE. On top of this I have added some software and configurations we are developing for FreeBSD to capture data from different industrial devices. Now, I would like to take and package this installation, like a ready image which I can burn to a new MicroSD and boot another system off. And that means it should be small in size, as the original ARM64 FreeBSD Raspberry PI image. I had a look to release.sh under /usr/src/release but this means I should rebuild the kernel and userland , right? I dont want to do that. Is there anything simpler, to take for example a 32GB FreeBSD 13 vanilla + sfw installation and make it like a generic image for RBPI3B+? Thanks, Stefan
