To add more FreeBSD versions to the E2B USB drive, just copy and rename the.imgPTN file (or make a fresh one) and then rename the new FreeBSD memstick.img file to match it. Note that only 'memstick' images for USB drives will work in this way. Luckily, GhostBSD.img files are in the memstick format. Click on the Dropdown box and select Try Unlisted Linux ISO (GRUB). Select the downloaded FreeNAS.ISO file by clicking Browse button. After that select the USB drive from the right side drop-down box. Then Choose Fat32 Format. Openbsd Live Usb; Jun 05, 2017 For FreeBSD, TrueOS, PC-BSD and FreeBSD-based operating systems, you can easily create a USB installer using the following steps: Download and install AIO Boot for USB. Download FreeBSD as an image of USB ( XYZ-memstick.img ). Open the file you downloaded above with 7-Zip. Extract the 2.ufs file.

Choosing an Architecture

Most users of FreeBSD will have hardware for either the amd64, i386, or armv6 architectures.

Modern PCs use the amd64 architecture, including those with Intel® branded processors. Computers with more than 3 GB of memory should use amd64. Serial key for corel x5. If the computer is an older, 32-bit only model, use i386. For embedded devices and single-board computers (SBC) such as the Raspberry Pi, Beagle Bone Black, Panda Board, and Zed Board, use the armv6 SD card image which supports ARMv6 and ARMv7 processors.

All other users should reference the complete list of supported FreeBSD platforms.

Choosing an Image

The FreeBSD installer can be downloaded in a number of different formats including CD (disc1), DVD (dvd1), and Network Install (bootonly) sized ISO Disc Images, as well as regular and mini USB memory stick images. Recent versions of FreeBSD are also offered as prebuilt expandable Virtual Machine images, and as SD Card images for embedded platforms.

FreeBSD Deployment Statistics

While FreeBSD does not gather deployment statistics, having statistical information available is essential. Please consider installing the sysutils/bsdstats package, which collects hardware and software statistics, helping developers understand how to best focus their efforts. The information collected is available at the bsdstats.org website.

FreeBSD-derived Operating System Distributions

FreeBSD is widely used as a building block for other commercial and open-source operating systems. The projects below are widely used and of particular interest to FreeBSD users.

  • FreeNAS is an open source storage platform based on FreeBSD and supports sharing across Windows, Apple, and UNIX-like systems.

  • FuryBSD is a brand new, open source FreeBSD desktop. FuryBSD pays homage to desktop BSD projects of the past PC-BSD and TrueOS with its graphical interface and adds additional tools like a live, hybrid USB/DVD image. FuryBSD is completely free to use and distributed under the BSD license.

  • GhostBSD is derived from FreeBSD, GhostBSD uses the GTK environment to provide a beautiful looks and comfortable experience on the modern BSD platform offering a natural and native UNIX® work environment.

  • MidnightBSD is a BSD-derived operating system developed with desktop users in mind. It includes all the software you'd expect for your daily tasks: mail, web browsing, word processing, gaming, and much more.

  • pfSense is a FreeBSD based customized distribution tailored for use as a firewall and router.

Applications and Utility Software

The Ports Collection

The FreeBSD Ports Collection is a diverse collection of utility and application software that has been ported to FreeBSD.

Line 6 ux2 software. See Installing Applications: Packages and Ports in the Handbook.

For information about how you can contribute your favorite piece of software to the Ports Collection, have a look at The Porter's Handbook and the article Contributing to FreeBSD.


[FreeBSD] USB Install - BSD

Users browsing this thread: 1 Guest(s)
USB Install or expert install.
After reading this thread you should know how to install FreeBSD to USB.
I run these commands on FreeBSD.
What you need :
- USB
- FreeBSD cd FreeBSD iso FreeBSD archives (ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/)
_ You need at least kernel.txz and base.txz.
_ How to find the packages in FreeBSD iso/cd ?
It's in $CD/usr/freebsd-dist/
- Plug in you USB key, a quick look at /var/log/messages should show something like this: (you can use `tail -f /var/log/messages)
Jun 8 20:33:30 home kernel: ugen4.2: <USB> at usbus4
Jun 8 20
:33:30 home kernel: umass0: <USB Flash Disk, class 0/0, rev 2.00/11.00, addr 2> on usbus4
Jun 8 20
:33:30 home kernel: umass0: SCSI over Bulk-Only; quirks = 0x4000
Jun 8 20
:33:30 home kernel: umass0:4:0:-1: Attached to scbus4

:33:30 home kernel: da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 scbus4 target 0 lun 0
Jun 8 20
:33:30 home kernel: da0: <USB Flash Disk 1100> Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device

:33:30 home kernel: da0: 40.000MB/s transfers
Jun 8 20
:33:30 home kernel: da0: 7648MB (15663104 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 974C)

- Erase the disk with dd, this should take a few minutes.
_ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0 count=560 bs=2m
- Create the geom and partitions:
_gpart create -s gpt da0 # Create the geom.
_gpart add -s 64K -t freebsd-boot da0 # add the bot partition, 64K should be enough.
_gpart add -s 100M -t freebsd-swap -l swap0 da0 # add the swap partition. I recommend 5-10% of the disk size.
_gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -l disk0 da0 # add the root ufs partition. it will use all the space left.
_newfs -UJt -L freebsdusb /dev/da0p3 # enabling soft-updates and journaling. You can use -t if you want trim (ssd).
- Verify everything is correct
_gpart show da0
=> 34 15663037 da0 GPT (7.5G)
34 128 1 freebsd-boot (64k)
162 204800 2 freebsd-swap (100M)
204962 15458109 3 freebsd-ufs (7.4G)

- Mount the root partition
_mount /dev/da0p3 /mnt/usb
- Extract at least kernel.txz and base.txz in / on your usb, ilke this:
_ cd /mnt/usb/
_ tar -xf $packagespath/kernel.txz; tar -xf $packagespath/base.txz
- Add the bootcode to your usb installation:
_gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptboot -i 1 da0
- Edit the fstab in /mnt/usb/etc/fstab, add:
_
/dev/da0p3 / ufs rw,async 1 1
/dev/da0p2 none swap sw 0 0

- You can now boot with the USB key to try !
- If you get errors like 'permission denied' when running as root, run this:
_sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16
Thank you was wondering about this sort of thing!
Someone doesn't appreciate my php generated image!
yep, but you can use that to install yo anything
(30-12-2012, 05:10 AM)Beastie Wrote: yep, but you can use that to install yo anything

I just tried it, minus the extracting files from CD (I have none,) and it setup my USB drive perfectly!
The only caveat was that I had no /mnt/usb directory, as I've named my USB mount dir a different name. Not really an issue though.
Then, to add insult to injury, I didn't have a FreeBSD ISO that I wanted to write to the USB device, so I tried writing a slax memstick image to the USB, but the slax memstick image isn't like most normal .iso files I'm used to..
slax-English-US-7.0.2-i486.zip is more geared towards Windoze & *buntu users, and wouldn't write to my USB drive, probably because of the partition layout created above.
My advice; if you want to try slax on a USB flash drive, use the CD .iso instead of the memstick .iso.
It's not that hard to dd an .iso to the proper location, but the slax bootinst.sh script assumes that one is a moron who uses mainstream operating systems, and so turns the process into more work than it should be.
Thanks again for the guide Beastie!

Well, my slax endeavor failed, for some reason, but in the meantime, I've found some interesting information about Flash dirves and NAND FLASH storage.
Since it's an involved subject, here's a link.
(it's not the first time I've dealt with bootable USB drives and writing .iso/.img files to said removable media.)
I downloaded slax from here, but don't see any signature, or hash, to verify the integrity of the downloaded file.
I tried both versions of the English-US file for my arch (i486) and neither download included any md5sum, etc.
The failure to provide any means of verification of the downloaded files causes me to lose faith in the rest of the system.
I'll be sticking with FreeBSD from here on out. :)

I found some more good info on USB flash drives & FreeBSD here.
Someone doesn't appreciate my php generated image!
