Install additional packages in an BSDRP installation

Status: maybe not complete, have to review it

Problem

Once you install BSDRP, FreeBSD ports repository is not enabled, the root-partition is read-only and /var is to small to download and extract the database.

Solution

  • mount / as rw: mount -uw /
  • enable the FreeBSD repo and disable the local repo in /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
  • Extend /var and /etc via /conf/base/etc/md_size and /conf/base/var/md_size
  • pkg update
  • pkg install <package>
  • done!
