Install additional packages in an BSDRP installation
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
- make sure you have extended the data slice
- mount / as rw: mount -uw /
- extend /var and /etc via /conf/base/etc/md_size and /conf/base/var/md_size (122880 for 60MB)
- mount / as ro: mount -ur /
- reboot: If you are asked to save your config, choose “No”
- enable the FreeBSD repo and disable the local repo in /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/myrepo.conf
- pkg update
- for installing a package, you have to mount / writeable again: mount -uw /
- now you can install your package: pkg install <package>
- done!
