This is roughly what I do:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=myliveusb.img bs=2G count=2
# mdconfig -a -f myliveusb.img
# gpart add ... md0
# gpart bootcode ... md0
# gpart modify -i N -l myliveusb md0
# newfs -U /dev/gpt/myliveusb
# mount /dev/gpt/myliveusb /mnt/install
# cd /usr/src
# make DESTDIR=/mnt/install installworld installkernel distrib-dirs distribution
- Create an /etc/fstab that mounts / to /dev/gpt/myliveusb,
/tmp, /var/tmp, /var/run, /var/log to mfs.
- Create an elementary /etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_DEFAULT="DHCP"
ntpdate_enable="YES"
- Copy /etc/localtime
- Chroot into it:
# cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/install/etc/
# chroot /mnt/install /bin/sh
# mount_devfs devfs /dev
- Install packages
- Leave the chroot, umount the partition and release the md.
dd the .img to a USB stick.
Good luck!
Bertram
