They use chef.
The chef omnibus installer assumes there is a /bin/bash. Even the =
FreeBSD version of it. Well, it least it did the last time I looked. =
Maybe this got fixed in the meantime.
Which means that to =E2=80=9Ebootstrap=E2=80=9C a node, you=E2=80=99ve =
first got to install pkg on it, install bash, symlink it to /bin/bash =
and then bootstrap the node.
Which kind of runs against the concept of doing everything via chef.
