I am having trouble making the VDI, IMG, etc. How can I do this from within FreeBSD?

Hi all.

I've created IMG, VDI, and VMDK files for testing. Enjoy!

IMG (disk image): http://tigris.thruhere.net/dl/freenas_r5277_img.tar.bz2
VDI (VirtualBox): http://tigris.thruhere.net/dl/freenas_r5277_vdi.tar.bz2
VMDK (VMware/VirtualBox): http://tigris.thruhere.net/dl/freenas_r5277_vmdk.tar.bz2

Oliver (or anyone else) - is it possible to use/copy this disk image into a VMWare machine. I'd really like to make sure that my RSS extension continues to work, which to my understanding means porting to Python now. Be great to have some idea what's going on and I don't have a spare machine I can just drop this on.

apologies for perhaps asking a stupid question: I dd'd the image from Louis to a usb drive. Upon booting the choices are F1 , F2 and F5 where F1 is freebsd. But whatever I type: it just echoes a # for every keystroke. Tried on 2 different pc's same result. Am I missing something ?

Hey guys... of topic question

Will the new version of FreeNAS/FreeBSD 8.1 support Realtek RTL8111C on board gigabit NICs?

I'm using this board for my FreeNAS:
http://www.logicsupply.com/products/ms_9832

But... I can't turn on jumbo frames due to a driver limitation. Jumbo frames works on Linux and Windows so I know it's not a hardware limitation. I can't find a definitive answer on RTL8111C and FreeBSD8.1.

"Did someone already create a bootable.iso ?"
There is no ISO image: This new FreeNAS concept is based on NanoBSD that need to be copied (with dd) directly to the final media (usb flash, compact flash, etc…).

Did someone already create a bootable.iso ? (I am having difficulties with the img file Louis K has posted..)

Thanks,

Is there any way of getting a VMWare or similar image for those of us who want to see how its progress, but don't have the necessary tools (or skills!) to build the image itself? Thanks!

Congratulations... Any chance of someone posting a disk image for those of us who can't (or don't want to) build it ourselves?

Thanks, Gary
