Hi everybody,
attached a tiny script to convert a FreeBSD install iso image to a
binary ufs image ready to be flashed e.g. on an USB pendrive.
The size of the ufs image is calculated from the iso one. The usage for
the script is quite simple:
./fbsd-install-iso2img.sh iso-path img-path
Once you're done, you can dd the img directly to an USB pen. If you also
want to make a serial-console install image just set the serial variable
on top of the script to 1.
This script is derived from another similar one that I made for the
pfSense project. It was requested for those kind of systems which have
an usb port booting-capable and a serial console.
I hope you'll find it useful. Bye,
Way cool! We've to tons of boxes that are a complete pain is the ass to
install on via CD, this will save tons of time. Obviously, it would be
better it we made one of these as part of the release build and put it
on the ftp site, but this is a hugh step in the right direction.
One minor nit, you might want to put a check that the user is root at the
top of the script since that is a requirement.
P.S.: beer-ware license
Are you going to be at BSDCan. :)
Hey! Thanks to Dan Langille and BSDCan I'm going to be there! :) I
definitely want my beer! :P
No problem. :)
