Over the past few days I have installed FreeBSD 7.1 (which i'm new at)
to an external Hard Drive.
When installing, I chose to partition the disk Automatically and now I'm trying to use the label editor (post-installation configuration) to name the mount points:
/
/usr
/var
/home
...on each of the separate partitions.
_______________________________________________________________
My question is when I start to label the mount points with the Label Editor and attempt to 'write' (finalize) my changes, i get an error saying something to the effect of "the disk could not be mounted" along with "operation not permitted"
(these errors are for EACH partition btw)
What am I doing wrong? How am I able to make my changes 'permanent' ?
P.S.
After being prompted, I also set the following because I was informed I could not perform the operations on disks that were in use.
Not entirely sure if this belongs here but here it is. I am installing FreeBSD, downloaded the ISO from their website, created the Bootdisk. And when I try to boot, I get this error, 'Panic, Couldn't Inialize. Will not continue without Inialization'. I get the prompt telling me that it will... (2 Replies)

I use DesktopBSD (FreeBSD + KDE) and regularly install this on our machines. Currently I go to the package manager to install the ports, but what shell command can I enter instead right after BSD install to install the ports?
Thanks in advance (3 Replies)
Hi Experts,

Many of our machines are using the same FreeBSD install apart from details such as user name and node name. What would be an efficient way to install these machines without having to go through the sysinstall questions every time? We could create an iso image, but how are the user name and node...

bhyveload
BHYVELOAD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual BHYVELOAD(8)NAME
bhyveload -- load a FreeBSD guest inside a bhyve virtual machine
SYNOPSIS
bhyveload [-c cons-dev] [-d disk-path] [-e name=value] [-h host-path] [-m mem-size] vmname
DESCRIPTION
bhyveload is used to load a FreeBSD guest inside a bhyve(4) virtual machine.
bhyveload is based on loader(8) and will present an interface identical to the FreeBSD loader on the user's terminal.
The virtual machine is identified as vmname and will be created if it does not already exist.
OPTIONS
The following options are available:
-c cons-dev
cons-dev is a tty(4) device to use for bhyveload terminal I/O.
The text string "stdio" is also accepted and selects the use of unbuffered standard I/O. This is the default value.
-d disk-path
The disk-path is the pathname of the guest's boot disk image.
-e name=value
Set the FreeBSD loader environment variable name to value.
The option may be used more than once to set more than one environment variable.
-h host-path
The host-path is the directory at the top of the guest's boot filesystem.
-m mem-size [K|k|M|m|G|g|T|t]
mem-size is the amount of memory allocated to the guest.
The mem-size argument may be suffixed with one of K, M, G or T (either upper or lower case) to indicate a multiple of Kilobytes,
Megabytes, Gigabytes or Terabytes respectively.
The default value of mem-size is 256M.
EXAMPLES
To create a virtual machine named freebsd-vm that boots off the ISO image /freebsd/release.iso and has 1GB memory allocated to it:
bhyveload -m 1G -d /freebsd/release.iso freebsd-vm
To create a virtual machine named test-vm with 256MB of memory allocated, the guest root filesystem under the host directory
/user/images/test and terminal I/O sent to the nmdm(4) device /dev/nmdm1B
bhyveload -m 256MB -h /usr/images/test -c /dev/nmdm1B test-vm

bhyveload first appeared in FreeBSD 10.0, and was developed at NetApp Inc.
AUTHORS
bhyveload was developed by Neel Natu <neel@FreeBSD.org> at NetApp Inc with a lot of help from Doug Rabson <dfr@FreeBSD.org>.
BUGS
bhyveload can only load FreeBSD as a guest.
