Hello all, I have a little thing that might be useful for anyone who wants to give FreeBSD a try on the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite, a ~US$90 Octeon-based 3-port Ethernet router[1]. This script will build an image for the device from a FreeBSD source tree: http://rtfm.net/FreeBSD/ERL/mkerlimage Nothing new here, it's mostly based on imp's mkoctimage script[2]. It will generate the correct (?) kernel config for this device, and a couple of minor changes (tmpfs, da0s1 on /boot for 'make installkernel'). It should work on any fresh checkout of the FreeBSD tree. There's also a prebuilt image of 10.0-RELEASE. It's just the output of the same script, and is ready to use on the EdgeRouter lite, after using the serial console to reconfigure the on-board U-Boot bootloader to look in the right place. (If possible, I'll next try to make an image which doesn't require this.) http://rtfm.net/FreeBSD/ERL/images/freebsd-10.0-RELEASE-ubiquiti-edgerouter-lite.image.xz SHA-512 checksum: http://rtfm.net/FreeBSD/ERL/images/freebsd-10.0-RELEASE-ubiquiti-edgerouter-lite.sha512 Hopefully, someone out there gets some enjoyment from this. If you need more info about the serial console, boot loader, or any other step in the process, there is also a (hopefully) very easy step by step guide one level up, at http://rtfm.net/FreeBSD/ERL -nd. 1. http://www.ubnt.com/edgemax#edge-router-lite 2. http://people.freebsd.org/~imp/mkoctimage
