Julian, I am afraid I have blindly followed the suggestion from http://www.= daemonology.net/blog/2015-11-21-FreeBSD-AMI-builder-AMI.html which suggested t= his script to preinstall the packages in the system mounted on /mnt #!/bin/sh export ASSUME_ALWAYS_YES=3DYES pkg -r /mnt fetch -d apache24 pkg -c /mnt install apache24 echo apache24_enable=3DYES >> /mnt/etc/rc.conf mkami "FreeBSD 10.2 w/ Apache 2.4" "FreeBSD with Apache pre-installed" shutdown -p now Perhaps Colin might be able to chime in on the original intent? My goal is to have packages installed, together with the patched kernel, th= en to power off the machine and use it as a template for others, saving the = 3 minutes of the initial package installation process, in our case. I have t= ried your suggestion of =E2=80=9Cadd=E2=80=9D but it did not work, either. I= wonder if this somehow related to inability of pkg -c to resolve names in t= his AMI. When I try this manually, not using the above scripts, these are the result= s and errors I get: $ pkg -r /mnt update -f Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue... pkg: Repository FreeBSD load error: access repo file(/mnt/var/db/pkg/repo-F= reeBSD.sqlite) failed: No such file or directory Fetching meta.txz: 100% 944 B 0.9kB/s 00:01 Fetching packagesite.txz: 100% 6 MiB 6.1MB/s 00:01 Processing entries: 100% FreeBSD repository update completed. 26993 packages processed.
