Release the evil twin of nanobsd.sh: sysbuild.sh
quoth the README:
I have been running -current on my laptop since before FreeBSD 2.0 was
released and along the way developed this little trick to making the
task easier.
sysbuild.sh is a way to build a new FreeBSD system on a computer from
a specification, while leaving the current installation intact.
sysbuild.sh assume you have two partitions that can hold your rootfs
and can be booted, and roughly speaking, all it does is build a new
system into the one you don't use, from the one you do use.
A partition named /freebsd is assumed to be part of your layout, and
that is where the sources and ports will be found.
If you know how nanobsd works, you will find a lot of similarity.
