Standard installation of FreeBSD on a DediBox.

  • Here are the snapshots of this installation, we suppose that you already followed the Dedibox FreeBSD steps to boot on a FreeBSD in the memory of your DediBox.

  • Configure the partitions : cap1.png cap2.png cap3.png

  • Very important : Don't save here but leave with "q" cap4.png cap5.png cap6.png

  • Write the modifications with "w" then "q" to exit

  • Define /mnt as destination : cap7.png cap8.png

  • Choose the distribution and install via FTP : cap9.png cap10.png cap11.png cap12.png cap13.png cap14.png

  • Modify the ROOT password and create a user in the wheel group: cap18.png cap110.png cap111.png cap118.png

  • You can personalize the installation by changing the keyboard mapping or adjusting the "timezone" ....etc

  • Finish the installation and copy the config files to /mnt :

# cd /mnt/boot

# rmdir /mnt/boot/kernel

# cp -Rp /mnt/boot/GENERIC  /mnt/boot/kernel

# cd /etc

# cp passwd master.passwd pwd.db spwd.db localtime resolv.conf rc.conf /mnt/etc

# cp -Rp /usr/home /mnt/usr/

# ln -s /usr/home /mnt/home

  • Edit /mnt/etc/rc.conf and verify the presence of this line : sshd_enable="YES"
  • Edit /mnt/etc/fstab and add the slices you created, if you followed the snapshots, your fstab will look like :

# Device                Mountpoint      FStype  Options         Dump    Pass#

/dev/ad4s1a             /               ufs     rw              1       1

/dev/ad4s1b             none            swap    sw              0       0

/dev/ad4s1d             /var            ufs     rw              2       2

/dev/ad4s1e             /tmp            ufs     rw              2       2

/dev/ad4s1f             /usr            ufs     rw              2       2

  • Now we need to verify that the partition is marked as active using fdisk /dev/ad4

  • Reboot and connect using SSH with the user name you created, you can now start the installation of the ports/packages, don't forget to upgrade the system using cvsup, following the handbook.

Good luck.
