I am following this link: http://www.cyclecide.com/~rudy/example/custom-freebsd.html to build a customized FreeBSD ISO.All I am in verse to include a mfi module to work.Though FreeBSD 8.2 includes mfi driver in GENERIC kernel but I need to include a new driver version from LSI website.
I performed these steps:
How can I proceed further. All I need is to:
patching the driver, replacing it,and running make release with the proper parameters.
As I can't see sys/dev/mfi under /usr/src, I have no idea how to proceed further.
I have been suggested to follow http://romana.now.ie/writing/customfreebsdiso.html link but it seems to be little complicated.
I performed these steps:
Code:
First, downlaod the ISO you want to start with (ftp.freebsd.org)
Mount the ISO so you can 'see' inside it.
mdconfig -a -t vnode -f 8.2-x64-dvd.iso -u 0
mount_cd9660 /dev/md0 /mnt
Prepare a spot to modify the ISO contents. (We are going to copy everything and then make a new ISO.)
mkdir 8.2-x64-dvd.iso-custom
cd 8.2-x64-dvd.iso-custom
rsync -a /mnt/ .
# find the source, unpack it, delete it
cd 8.2-RC2/base
mkdir TEMP && cat base.?? | tar --unlink -xpzf - -C TEMP
rm base.??
# Go there (into the new ISO staging area)
cd TEMP
