About

Vagrant box with latest FreeBSD and ZFS.

Install FreeBSD root on ZFS

1. Run

su -

to get a root shell.

2. Run DHCP client by running

dhclient vtnet0

to get an IPv4 address.

3. We can now start an SSH daemon by running:

mkdir /tmp/etc
mount_unionfs /tmp/etc /etc
echo "PermitRootLogin yes" >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config
passwd root
service sshd onestart

4. Login to the FreeBSD Shell by running:

ssh root@<ip_address>

cd /tmp
# download zfsinstall.sh from github
fetch --no-verify-peer https://raw.github.com/wolffaxn/bsdbox/master/bin/zfsinstall.sh
chmod 750 zfsinstall.sh
./zfsinstall.sh -d ada0 -p zroot -r 8GB -s 2GB

shutdown -h now

cd /tmp
# download vagrant-setup.sh from github
fetch --no-verify-peer https://raw.github.com/wolffaxn/bsdbox/master/bin/vagrant-setup.sh
chmod 750 vagrant-setup.sh
