Hi All, Not sure if this is the correct mailing list to post this question, so I do apologize if it is not. I am trying to learn my way through building the "mini" (about 27MB) mfsBSD (64-bit AMD) for FeeBSD RELEASE 12.1 and came across these instructions: https://hashbang0.com/2019/02/07/setting-up-mfsbsd-for-receiving-zfs-snapshots-on-systems-with-low-memory/ ---------------------------------- root@bil-bsd # cd /var/tmp # Fetch the FreeBSD ISO root@bil-bsd # fetch https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/ISO-IMAGES/12.1/FreeBSD-12.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso # Mount the ISO root@bil-bsd # mdconfig -a -t vnode -u 10 -f /var/tmp/FreeBSD-12.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso root@bil-bsd # mount_cd9660 /dev/md10 /mnt/ # Clone the mfsbsd repo root@bil-bsd # git clone https://github.com/mmatuska/mfsbsd.git root@bil-bsd # cd mfsbsd root@bil-bsd # cd conf root@bil-bsd # cp loader.conf.sample loader.conf root@bil-bsd # cat << EOF >> loader.conf vm.kmem_size="330M" vm.kmem_size_max="330M" vfs.zfs.arc_max="40M" vfs.zfs.vdev.cache.size="5M" EOF root@bil-bsd # cd .. root@bil-bsd # make iso BASE=/mnt/usr/freebsd-dist RELEASE=12.1-RELEASE ------------------------------------ The catch is that they do not seem to be for the mini distro, but for the full mfsBSD distro. The current pre-built mini edition on the Project home page ( https://mfsbsd.vx.sk/) seem to have a problem with my builtin Broadcom wireless and gets stuck in an "Error 5" loop so I want to try and be able to build a new "mini" with the proper module for the Boradcom wireless, or find a way that it will over-step that part and continue to boot up since the booting process does not complete right now on my real hardware. What is the step call in the "make iso ..." above to produce the mini iso (27 MB)? Do I call it from the main directory or from within the "mini" sub-directory? Thanks Any help would be appreciated Cheers, Lonnie
