RE: How to install FreeBSD remotely from Debian Linux Environment?
Hi, I finally built a ISO with enabled SSH and DHCP - many thanks to Ruben de Groot and his script mentioned here. I just had to slightly modify it - nearly not mentionable. I wrapped the project into a trac installation, ordered a nice icon and wrote a small documentation on how to use the CD. For further information see: http://www.dock42.com/trac/pocketlamp The ISO will be released until the end of the week - so do not wonder if there's currently no downloadable image available.

Hi Yves, Best way would be to create your own custom bootable cd. This is quite easy. Maybe you can get some ideas from this (now outdated) script I used for this purpose years ago: http://www.bzerk.org/files/mk-livecd good luck, Ruben ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
How to install FreeBSD remotely from Debian Linux Environment?
Hi, I tried to install FreeBSD from an existing Debian 4.0 Linux installation with "Depenguinator 1.1". Depenguinator failed due to a wide range of incompatibilities caused by gcc-4.0 and the beta code used in Depenguinator. Next I built an image under my local Mac OS X 10.5 with QEMU - but the next step would have been to copy the image via dd to harddisk of the remote server. The problem is that Linux doesn't support ufs and the additional ufs- tools either won't compile because of gcc-4.0, current Linux kernel etc. . I don't have the possibility to use KVM-over-Ethernet - but I can ask a technician to boot from a CD-ROM. The problem here is that the neither the bootonly.iso or one of the others automatically start SSH and connect via DHCP… don't they? So... is there another way to start a remote installation?
