Hi,

I am using the instructions at

https://wiki.freebsd.org/riscv

to build a freebsd to boot on spike.

I am at this step on installworld. I get this error.

root at box:~/dt/freebsd-riscv # make TARGET_ARCH=riscv64 -DNO_ROOT
DESTDIR=${DESTDIR} installworld
make[1]: "/root/obj/root/dt/freebsd-riscv/riscv.riscv64/
toolchain-metadata.mk" line 1: Using cached toolchain metadata from build
at box on Sun Nov 11 17:00:57 IST 2018
ERROR: Required ntpd user is missing, see /usr/src/UPDATING.
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make[1]: stopped in /root/dt/freebsd-riscv
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /root/dt/freebsd-riscv
root at box:~/dt/freebsd-riscv #

--
So, how do I get past this in the correct way?

I have manually added and ntpd user and group in /etc/passwd,group. I still
run into the same error.

Appreciate your help.

Thank you.

Dinesh
