Hi, I am in verse to build own custom, patched FreeBSD ISO following http://romana.now.ie/writing/customfreebsdiso.html Though my requirement is including latest mfi driver from LSI for MegaRAID SAS driver since the last 9.1rc1, 8.x and 7.4 includes generic kernel which already has mfi but doesnt support the H300 card. I am following this link which is old back 2004. Does it still hold good? Anyone who have experience working on this subject before, please share your experience. I can see this guide http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/f...ch/145216.html<http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2007-March/145216.html>; which followed the above link but is in detail. Until now, I am able to execute the following steps: I did a boot from bootable CDROM then network install setup filesystem : root 2G swap 1G var 2G usr 30G home dirs will be in /usr/home Select Kern-Developer, no Xwindows, no ports After reboot, *sysinstall* and install cvsup-without-gui-16.1h_2 from the FTP site. Also install a complete set of sources from the distribution media. 8) Upgrade ports directories *cd /root* c) *cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile .* d) *vi ports-supfile* change mirror name cvsup10.us.FreeBSD.org (It took 4 hours) e) *rehash* f) *cvsup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile* I am following this guide http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/f...ch/145216.html<http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2007-March/145216.html>; step by step. Now the guide says: g) Create the index with the command *make index* or h) Fetch the index with the command *make fetchindex* * * I have no idea under which folder I need to run this command. Meanwhile, I skipped those steps and have been running *make buildworld*..and further .. Any idea if I need to follow the first or second link?
