Unix Workshops:Installing-freebsd

FreeBSD Installation 1. [FreeBSD]

2. Create a BSD VM, Give it 512 MB memory, and a 10GB Hard drive

3. Boot from your [disc]

4. Use the Arrow Keys, Space Bar and Enter to navigate through the installation process

5. Apply GPT partitions:

• freebsd-ufs, 9GB, start from: /
• freebsd-swap, rest

6. Configure IPV4 and DHCP, No IPV6

7. Do not enable crash dumps. We don't have the space or need for that

8. Create a user and add it to group "wheel"

9. Shut down the machine, remove the installation CD then power up

10. Log in to the system then print: portsnap fetch extract

This will retrieve the entire Ports Collection, and should take a while
