A lot of folks use the freebsd-crochet script to create images for arm systems. I've never learned to use it myself (and I usualy don't want a ready-to-flash image). I generally have a dozen or so active development "sandboxes" for different boards. For each board/project I'm working on I create a directory, and within it I have a script named "mk" and these subdirectories: config/ nfsroot/ obj/ src/ In config I put a make.conf and src.conf (even if they're empty), and a custom kernel config file if I'm not using one of the stock files. The src directory is a straight svn checkout of head or a stable branch or whatever. nfsroot is my default DESTDIR for installs; for development I tend to use nfs root. The mk script is attached. It basically sets up the usual defaults for whatever the sandbox is (kernel config name and such), then does a cd into the src directory and fires up make with whatever args I put on the command line. I can just type "mk buildworld" or "mk installkernel" or whatever and the mk script supplies the env vars and make options that never change. If I want to install to an sdcard or usb thumb drive instead of nfsroot/ I can just format and mount it and "mk installworld DESTDIR=/mnt". -- Ian
