mfsBSD modification HOW-TO

[Dorlas]

Hello all!

I wrote detailed instructions on how to modify the image of mfsBSD (http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/) and add to it your desired software and settings. I am using geom_uzip and unionfs to create full-functional Live Image with working pkgng and preinstalled software.

A note about mount_unionfs(8):

     THIS FILE SYSTEM TYPE IS NOT YET FULLY SUPPORTED (READ: IT DOESN'T WORK)
     AND USING IT MAY, IN FACT, DESTROY DATA ON YOUR SYSTEM.  USE AT YOUR OWN
     RISK.  BEWARE OF DOG.  SLIPPERY WHEN WET.  BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED.

mfsBSD has build scripts to create a customized image, too.

I gave it a try earlier... It appears to built for amd_64.... I got a msg saying the CPU doesn't support long mode

If you build from source on an AMD64 machine, yes, it will build a 64-bit version. Build it on a 32-bit machine or VM, or work out the cross-build to 32-bit.
