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.
