Hello everybody!
I am working on the FreeBSD test suite, and need to create an image file
from source. How can I do that?
I need to run something similar to make installkernel && make
installworld with an image file as the target, such that the end result
is a ready-made FreeBSD system that can be started up with bhyve. How
can I do that, including creating the correct /etc files, and the
correct boot code and partitioning?
Following the FreeBSD handbook [0] didn't work, as that concerns
updating the current system from source only.

Any help would be kindly appreciated!
Best regards,
Panagiotes
