Wow, that sounds very labour intensive.
The Joel Test: 12 Steps to better code

Take note of Step 2. ;-)
I take it your FreeBSD steps are not automated at all. Any reason why?
To much effort because releases are only once per year, or have you
tried but couldn't get it fully working? Just curious - not criticising.
In a previous company I worked for, I had four A4 pages of steps to
follow to make builds and release ISO's. It took me almost the whole
day. To make matters worse, we had releases every 3-4 months. Eventually
I got irritated enough and managed to automate the whole process using
scripts and clever custom-written tools. The effort was well worth it in
the end (though challenging), and now anybody could create builds and
release ISO's with a push of a button.
Currently For FreeBSD I have 4 virtual box VMs (10+11 x86 + x86_64), for each:
A bit off topic... Do you use FreeBSD 11 for anything other than the
build VM's? If so, is v11 worth the upgrade. I've got a super stable
workstation running FreeBSD 10.3 and contemplating if I should upgrade
to FreeBSD 11. I don't want to rock the boat for no real benefit.
Unfortunately I also can't do the usual (super easy) OS upgrade command,
because I need to reformat my boot/root SSD drive so I can fix the block
size issue (512B vs 4096B issue).

Graeme
