Hello,
I am completely new here, I've been testing FreeBSD for fun the last few days and I really dig it so far. (That ports system, I find it amazing). Anyway, greetings everyone.
So, what I want to do is a program/script that would guide the user through the preparation of his SD card to install FreeBSD for a RPi. I have come accross the crochet-freebsd project that does the same, but I'd like create a brand new script and to add more options to it:
I have the intention to use devel/cdialog to create a configuration menu.
The purpose of this thread is to know what are your thoughts on this. Is it useful? Does it already exists? Do you have ideas of features? Things like that!
It might be worth mentioning that if I do this project, it will be part of my master dissertation for my university.
Cheers,
qrthur

- Sanity checks
- Configure kernel compilation (modules, build options)
- Partition customisation
- Building optional packages
