Hi,
I have an old net5501 board as home router and have custom kernel on it (FreeBSD 11.2). As compiling kernel and userland on it takes 4 days, I searched for how to make it use freebsd-update tool. I got to the point that it won't work with custom kernels. So I got to see the guide from:
And then I began the road to make it happen. Has anyone tried this before?
I get all sorts of errors, beginning with checksum error for the iso downloaded. I used sha512 and sha256, for both DVD1 (as found on logs and the script code) and CD1. No good either. From there, all other commands reports errors. mdconfig and a mount are the two that follows.
The guide says there was an update on 2018, but the copyright info says 2013. So my bet is the code was born 2013 at best.
Can anyone help here?
The build machine is 11.2-RELEASE-p4 AMD64 and the target is i386.
If any more info is needed I can post here when I arrive home.
Thanks,
none
