Ok. I'am going to start this tutorial from scratch.
I'll present this tute as a workshop in front of you
so that you don't have to suffer in confusions.
Here I go :
1. login as root. Create a folder under root and name
it freebsd (eg./freebsd). create a folder under freebsd
and name it mnt (eg./freebsd/mnt)
2. Copy all 4 bsd disc images from digit dvd
(or download from *www.freebsd.org) to /freebsd folder.
3. open terminal window & type
cd /freebsd & press enter.
4. Now type
mount -o loop -t iso9660 7.0-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso /freebsd/mnt
& press enter.
5. Now go to the /freebsd/mnt folder & copy paste the
cdrom.inf file on desktop.
6. in terminal window type :
tar -C /freebsd/mnt -cf - . | tar -xf -
& press enter.
7. Then issue this command :
umount /freebsd/mnt
& press enter.
8. Now on the terminal repeat this step
for all remaining three images. eg.
[root@localhost freebsd]# mount -o loop -t iso9660 7.0-RELEASE-i386-disc2.iso /freebsd/mnt
[root@localhost freebsd]# tar -C /freebsd/mnt -cf - . | tar -xf -
[root@localhost freebsd]# umount /freebsd/mnt
[root@localhost freebsd]# mount -o loop -t iso9660 7.0-RELEASE-i386-disc3.iso /freebsd/mnt
[root@localhost freebsd]# tar -C /freebsd/mnt -cf - . | tar -xf -
[root@localhost freebsd]# umount /freebsd/mnt
[root@localhost freebsd]# mount -o loop -t iso9660 7.0-RELEASE-i386-docs.iso /freebsd/mnt
[root@localhost freebsd]# tar -C /freebsd/mnt -cf - . | tar -xf -
[root@localhost freebsd]# umount /freebsd/mnt
9. Now go to the /freebsd folder and delete
the mnt & rr_moved folder. Also delete the four iso images.
10. Now copy the cdrom.inf file from desktop
& paste it into the /freebsd folder.
11. In terminal window type :
cd /freebsd/packages
& press enter.
12. Type in : for eg:
[root@localhost packages]# sed -ie 's/|2/|1/g' INDEX
[root@localhost packages]# sed -ie 's/|3/|1/g' INDEX
13. Go to /freebsd/packages folder & delet a file called INDEXe
14. On the terminal issue this command to get a bootable dvd iso image of freebsd:
mkisofs -V FreeBSD-7-dvd -J -R -b boot/cdboot -no-emul-boot -o /FreeBSD-7.0-RELEASE-i386-dvd.iso /freebsd
This will create FreeBSD-7.0-RELEASE-i386-dvd.iso under /.
15. Issue this command to burn the created iso file :
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/cdrw=/FreeBSD-7.0-RELEASE-i386-dvd.iso
or Burn this with your your desired burning app like k3b, brasero etc
