I have been trying to convert a FreeBSD 6 box to a vdi image without
luck. To do so, I did the following steps, but when I attach the .vdi
file to the VM I created, I dont get by the initial boot loader.
Has anyone done anything like this ?
dd if=/dev/zero of=sz.dd bs=1024k count=20000
mdconfig -t vnode -f sz.dd
gpart create -s MBR md0
gpart add -t freebsd md0
gpart set -a active -i 1 md0
gpart bootcode -b /boot/boot0 md0
gpart create -s BSD -n 20 md0s1
gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -s 1G md0s1
gpart add -t freebsd-swap -s 1G md0s1
gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -s 2G md0s1
gpart add -t freebsd-ufs md0s1
newfs -U -O2 /dev/md0s1a
newfs -U -O2 /dev/md0s1d
newfs -U -O2 /dev/md0s1e
mkdir /mnt/root
mkdir /mnt/usr
mkdir /mnt/var
mount /dev/md0s1a /mnt/root/
mount /dev/md0s1d /mnt/var
mount /dev/md0s1e /mnt/usr
cd /mnt/root
gzcat ~sz/dump-root0.gz | restore -rf -
cd /mnt/usr
gzcat ~sz/dump-usr0.gz | restore -rf -
cd /mnt/var
gzcat ~sz/dump-var0.gz | restore -rf -
umount /mnt/root
umount /mnt/var
umount /mnt/usr
mdconfig -d -u -0
Then lets convert the file
VBoxManage convertfromraw szocke.dd szocke.vdi --format VDI
When I try to then boot the VM, it just gets stuck at the
"Default F1" and when I hit F1, just # symbols appear.
The hypervisor is RELENG_10
