OK you asked for it. Note this is -very rough- notes. It is notes that you
use if you
understand the procedure, not what you use as an educational explanation.
You will
probably need to change directory locations for the various invocations.
I did a boot from bootable CDROM then network install
setup filesystem :
root 2G
swap 1G
var 2G
usr 30G
home dirs will be in /usr/home
Select Kern-Developer, no Xwindows, no ports
After reboots, sysinstall and install cvsup-without-gui-16.1h_2 from the FTP
site
Also install a complete set of sources from the distribution media
8) Upgrade ports directories
cd /root
c) cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile .
d) vi ports-supfile change mirror name
cvsup10.us.FreeBSD.org
e) rehash
f) cvsup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile
g) Create the index with the command make index or
g) Fetch the index with the command "make fetchindex"
now install cdrtools
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/cdrtools
make install
Recompile and rebuild the entire system to make sure it's clean:
cd /usr/src
make buildworld
make buildkernel
make installkernel
boot into single-user
boot -s
mount /
mount /tmp
mount all the rest of the system
cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/mergemaster
./mergemaster.sh -p (say no to delete temproot)
cd /usr/src
make installworld
mergemaster
reboot
this results in a system that is a duplicate of the -release system if done
right
Now we start our updated builds:
NOTE: These notes helped:
http://romana.now.ie/writing/customfreebsdiso.html
) setup a cvsupfile for the rest of the system:
e) cd /root cp ports-supfile release-supfile
vi release-supfile and change the bottom half to:
IMPORTANT: Change the next line to use one of the CVSup mirror sites
# listed at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/mirrors.html.
*default host=cvsup10.us.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr/home/ncvs
*default release=cvs (make sure to remove the tag here)
*default delete use-rel-suffix
# If you seem to be limited by CPU rather than network or disk bandwidth,
try
# commenting out the following line. (Normally, today's CPUs are fast
enough
# that you want to run compression.)
*default compress
# ports-all
src-all
doc-all
cvsroot-all
#
) init the cvs database:
cvs -d /usr/home/ncvs init
populate our local cvs database with the command: cvsup -g
/root/release-supfile
Now we got a local CVS synced to the master repository.
Now, before we start tearing into the new stuff, let's create our old src
and /usr/obj into
a RELEASE by doing this:
Now we make a unmodded release itself (takes about 3 hours):
cd /usr/src/release
make release RELEASETAG=RELENG_6_1 PORTSRELEASETAG=HEAD
BUILDNAME=6.1-RELEASE CHROOTDIR=/usr/home/releng NODOC=yes NOPORTS=yes CVSRO
OT=/usr/home/ncvs
This will put the files to stage for the bootable ISO into /home/releng/R
The kernel will go into /home/releng/R/cdrom/disc1/boot/kernel
This will also put the files for FTP installation in /home/releng/R/ftp
which must be used with the ISO image for
an FTP installation if the CD drive becomes inaccessible during
installation.
cd /usr/home
(makes it with no floppy emulation)
sh /usr/src/release/i386/mkisoimages.sh -b FreeBSD6
/usr/home/6.1-RELEASE-disc1.iso /usr/home/releng/R/cdrom/disc1
burn this CD and test it as a scratch install CD!
Now to make a release off the current source for the tree:
Since a whole lot of stuff
has dependencies, we want to start by saving the existing RELEASE source
tree (we might need it to regenerate a kernel)
cd /usr
mv src src.original
Blow away old releases and such
To delete the release then chflags -R noschg /usr/home/releng rm -r
/usr/home/releng rm -r /usr/obj rm -r /usr/src
cvsup -g /root/release-supfile (resync the src)
Replace this with the current source we are working on:
cd /usr
cvs -d /usr/home/ncvs checkout src
Now, before building a release, must buildworld (don't have to install it
though)
cd /usr/src
make -j4 buildworld (approx 1.6 hours on 1.8Ghz Athlon with Promise
FastTrack RAID chip with -j4 option)
(only do this to check the kernel builds, not needed for a make release)
make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC
NOTE: this puts the CURRENT into /usr/obj
Now we make a unmodded current release itself (takes about 3 hours):
add audit:*:77: to /etc/group
cd /usr/src/release
make release RELEASETAG=RELENG_6_1 PORTSRELEASETAG=HEAD
BUILDNAME=6.1-RELEASE CHROOTDIR=/usr/home/releng NODOC=yes NOPORTS=yes CVSRO
OT=/usr/home/ncvs
This will put the files to stage for the bootable ISO into /home/releng/R
The kernel will go into /home/releng/R/cdrom/disc1/boot/kernel
This will also put the files for FTP installation in /home/releng/R/ftp
which must be used with the ISO image for
an FTP installation if the CD drive becomes inaccessible during
installation.
To make our own modded release in addition to GENERIC, do this instead:
(go build the modded kernel)
If you want to put your modded kernel on an ISO then do this:
cd /home/releng/R/cdrom/disc1/boot
mv kernel kernel.old
md kernel
cp where-i-built-modded-kernel/* kernel
then make the modded ISO:
cd /home
sh /usr/src/release/i386/mkisoimages.sh -b FreeBSD6
/home/6.0-CURRENTMODDED-disc1.iso /home/releng/R/cdrom/disc1
now make the bootable iso
cd /home
(makes it with no floppy emulation)
sh /usr/src/release/i386/mkisoimages.sh -b FreeBSD6
/home/6.1-PRERELEASE-disc1.iso /home/releng/R/cdrom/disc1
Note - burn this to CD rom media, not CDRW, it seems not to like the CDRW
media
