Something like that:
# cd /usr/src
# make -j $( nproc ) buildworld buildkernel
# make packages
This gives You PKGBASE packages here:
/usr/obj/usr/src/repo/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest
You then create pkg(8) repo there:
# pkg repo /usr/obj/usr/src/repo/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest
Creating repository in .: 100%
Packing files for repository: 100%
Create pkg(8) repo file.
# cat /etc/pkg/FreeBSD-base.conf
FreeBSD-base: {
url: "file:///usr/obj/usr/src/repo/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest",
enabled: yes
}
Then create new dir (or mount disks there):
# mkdir -p /NEW
/NEW
... and populate that PKGBASE installation using bsdinstall(8) as follows.
# export BSDINSTALL_CHROOT=/NEW
# export BSDINSTALL_PKG_REPOS_DIR=/usr/obj/usr/src/repo/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest
# env TERM=xterm bsdinstall pkgbase
After its finished - you have FreeBSD installed using PKGBASE inside /NEW dir.
The 'env TERM=xterm' part is optional - makes sure you start bsdinstall(8) in colors.
