for -current I've added cust_pkgng() to nanobsd.sh
It needs to get called manually instead of cust_pkg() though.
( customize_cmd cust_pkgng )

Still the nanobsd.sh script is building a broken image on FreeBSD 10.0 RC4:

After booting the image in a VirtualBox machine:

Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ada0s1a [ro]...
mount: /dev/ada0s3: Invalid argument
mount -o ro /dev/ada0s3 /conf/default/etc failed: dropping into /bin/sh

It seems the third partition (the one that holds the data for config 
files) has errors on it:


# disklabel /dev/ada0s3
disklabel /dev/ada0s3
disklabel: /dev/ada0s3: no valid label found

In my nanobsd.conf I have (20MB for data partition):

NANO_MEDIASIZE=2097152
NANO_DATASIZE=40960
NANO_IMAGES=2

Hi,

Since late summer - sorry, no exact date / svn revision - nanobsd.sh

fails

at the last stage when building the disk image, e.g. with

...

Looking a bit closer it seems that dd(1) returns with an I/O error

whenever

the input is a file created with mdconfig(8):

# dd if=/dev/zero of=somebackingfile bs=1k count=5k

# mdconfig -f somebackingfile -u md0

# newfs -U /dev/md0

# dd if=/dev/md0 of=/dev/null

The outputfile in nanobsd.sh seems to be error-free.

It should be one block larger than the right size.

Anyone else seen similar behaviour? How to proceed/fix it?


The following patch should clear the error.

The issue is that kern_physio() incorrectly detects EOF due to
incorrect
calculation of bio bio_resid after the bio_length was clipped by the
'excess' code in g_io_check(). Both bio_length and bio_resid appear
to be 0 in the pre-last dd transfer, which starts exactly and the
mediasize, and kern_physio() thinks that it transferred one more block
than was transferred.

I _suspect_ that it was caused by 'excess' code moving in r256880,
but I am really not in the right condition to analyze it.  If somebody
could try the same dd experiment to confirm or deny my suspicion, it
would be useful.

The patch below should be a right thing to do anyway.

diff --git a/sys/kern/vfs_bio.c b/sys/kern/vfs_bio.c

Works for me - please commit!

I have a similar problem with nanobsd.sh on FreeBSD 10.x. I am able to 
build the image but sometimes (could not figured out the reason why) the 
image is build incorrectly.


For example on an incorrectly built image when I boot i got:

Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ada0s1a [ro]...
mount: /dev/ada0s3: Invalid argument
mount -o ro /dev/ada0s3 /conf/default/etc failed: dropping into /bin/sh

It seems the partition that hold config files cannot be accessed.

Hope your fix will fix this problem too (asumming you will also commit 
on 10.x).


Theres also an issue with package management, the nanobsd script still 
uses pkg_add instead of pkg.

It is poor hardware as you said but FreeBSD should run well on it. I 
also have Alix boards running FreeBSD as router, and cpu load is almost 0.

I did not deployed yet 10.x (I'm waiting for nanobsd.sh to correct 
problems with pkgng) for now I am running it on VirtualBox, but I hope 
it will also run well on Alix hardware. Your problems were on 10.x or 11.x?
