This article describes my efforts at FreeBSD From Scratch: a fully automated installation of a customized FreeBSD system compiled from source, including compilation of all your favorite ports and configured to match your idea of the perfect system. If you think make world is a wonderful concept, FreeBSD From Scratch extends it to make evenmore.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Introduction
Have you ever upgraded your system with make world? There is a problem if you have only one system on your disks. If the installworld fails partway through, you are left with a broken system that might not even boot any longer. Or maybe the installworld runs smoothly but the new kernel does not boot. Then it is time to reach for the Fixit CD and dig for those backups you have taken half a year ago.
I believe in the ``wipe your disks when upgrading systems'' paradigm. Wiping disks, or rather partitions, makes sure there is no old cruft left lying around, something which most upgrade procedures just do not care about. But wiping the partitions means you have to also recompile/reinstall all your ports and packages and then redo all your carefully crafted configuration tweaks. If you think that this task should be automated as well, read on.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 Why would I (not) want FreeBSD From Scratch?
This is a legitimate question. We have sysinstall and the well known way to compile the kernel and the userland tools.
The problem with sysinstall is that it is severely limited in what, where and how it can install.
It is normally used to install pre-built distribution sets and packages from some other source (CD, DVD, FTP). It cannot install the result of a make buildworld.
It cannot install a second system under a directory in a running system.
It cannot install in Vinum partitions.
It cannot compile ports, only install precompiled packages.
It is hard to script or to make arbitrary post-installation changes.
Last but not least, sysinstall is semi-officially at its End-Of-Life.
The well known way to build and install the world, as described in the Handbook, by default replaces the existing system. Only the kernel and modules are saved. System binaries, headers and a lot of other files are overwritten; obsolete files are still present and can cause surprises. If the upgrade fails for any reason, it may be hard or even impossible to restore the previous state of the system.
FreeBSD From Scratch solves all these problems. The strategy is simple: use a running system to install a new system under an empty directory tree, while new partitions are mounted appropriately in that tree. Many config files can be copied to the appropriate place and mergemaster(8) can take care of those that cannot. Arbitrary post-configuration of the new system can be done from within the old system, up to the point where you can chroot to the new system. In other words, we go through three stages, where each stage consists of either running a shell script or invoke make:
stage_1.sh: Create a new bootable system under an empty directory and merge or copy as many files as are necessary. Then boot the new system.
stage_2.sh: Install desired ports.
stage_3.mk: Do post-configuration for software installed in previous stage.
Once you have used FreeBSD From Scratch to build a second system and found it works satisfactorily for a couple of weeks, you can then use it again to reinstall the original system. From now on, whenever you feel like an update is in order, you simply toggle the partitions you want to wipe and reinstall.
Maybe you have heard of or even tried Linux From Scratch, or LFS for short. LFS also describes how to build and install a system from scratch in empty partitions using a running system. The focus in LFS seems to be to show the role of each system component (such as kernel, compiler, devices, shell, terminal database, etc) and the details of each component's installation. FreeBSD From Scratch does not go into that much detail. My goal is to provide an automated and complete installation, not explaining all the gory details that go on under the hood when making the world. In case you want to explore FreeBSD at this level of detail, start looking at /usr/src/Makefile and follow the actions of a make buildworld.
There are also downsides in the approach taken by FreeBSD From Scratch that you should bear in mind.
While compiling the ports during stage two the system can not be used for its usual duties. If you run a production server you have to consider the downtime caused by stage two. The ports compiled by stage_2.sh below require about 4 hours to build on an AMD1800+ SCSI system with 10krpm disks and 1GB of RAM.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 Prerequisites
For going the FreeBSD From Scratch way, you need to have:
A running FreeBSD system with sources and a ports tree.
At least one unused partition where the new system will be installed.
Experience with running mergemaster(8). Or at least no fear doing so.
If you have no or only a slow link to the Internet: the distfiles for your favorite ports.
Basic knowledge of shell scripting with the Bourne shell, sh(1).
Finally, you should also be able to tell your boot loader how to boot the new system, either interactively, or by means of a config file.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 Stage One: System Installation
The following is my stage_1.sh. You need to customize it in various places to match your idea of the ``perfect system''. I have tried to extensively comment the places you should adapt. The points to ponder are:
Partition layout.
I do not subscribe to the idea of a single huge partition for the whole system. My systems generally have at least one partition for /, /usr and /var with /tmp symlinked to /var/tmp. In addition I share the file systems for /home (user homes), /home/ncvs (FreeBSD CVS repository replica), /usr/ports (the ports tree), /src (various checked out src trees) and /share (other shared data without the need for backups, like the news spool).
Luxury items.
What you want immediately after booting the new system and even before starting stage two. In my case this is shells/zsh because this is the login shell for my account as specified in /etc/passwd. Strictly speaking you can do without luxury items, because all you need to do is log in as root and run the next stage.
The reason for not simply installing all my beloved ports during stage one is that in theory and in practice there are bootstrap and consistency issues: stage one has your old kernel running, but the chrooted environment consists of new binaries and headers. If the new system for example supports a new system call (according to its headers), some configure-type script might try to use it and get killed because it executes on the old kernel. I have seen other issues when I tried building lang/perl5.
Before you run stage_1.sh make sure you have completed the usual tasks in preparation for make installworld installkernel, like:
configured your kernel config file
successfully completed make buildworld
successfully completed make buildkernel KERNCONF=whatever
When you run stage_1.sh for the first time, and the config files copied from your running system to the new system are not up-to-date with respect to what is under /usr/src, mergemaster will ask you how to proceed. I recommend merging the changes. If you get tired of going through the dialogues you can simply update the files on your running system once (Only if this is an option. You probably do not want to do this if one of your systems runs -STABLE and the other -CURRENT. The changes may be incompatible). Subsequent mergemaster invocations will detect that the RCS version IDs match those under /usr/src and skip the file.
The stage_1.sh script will stop at the first command that fails (returns a non-zero exit status) due to set -e, so you cannot overlook errors. You should correct any errors in your version of stage_1.sh before you go on.
In stage_1.sh we invoke mergemaster. Even if none of the files requires a merge, it will display and ask at the end
*** Comparison complete
Do you wish to delete what is left of /var/tmp/temproot.stage1? [no] no
Please answer no or just hit Enter. The reason is that mergemaster will have left a few zero sized files below /var/tmp/temproot.stage1 which will be copied to the new system later (unless already there).
After that it will list the files it installed, making use of a pager (more(1) by default, optionally less(1)):
*** You chose the automatic install option for files that did not
exist on your system. The following were installed for you:
/newroot/etc/defaults/rc.conf
...
/newroot/COPYRIGHT
(END)
Type q to quit the pager. Then you will be informed about login.conf:
*** You installed a login.conf file, so make sure that you run
'/usr/bin/cap_mkdb /newroot/etc/login.conf'
to rebuild your login.conf database
Would you like to run it now? y or n [n]
The answer does not matter since we will run cap_mkdb(1) in any case.
Everything stage_1.sh does is logged to stage_1.log for you to examine if you wish to do so.
Here is the author's stage_1.sh, which you need to modify substantially, especially steps 1, 2, 5 and 6.
Warning: Please pay attention to the newfs(8) commands. While you can not create new file systems on mounted partitions, the script will happily erase any unmounted /dev/da3s1a, /dev/vinum/var_a and /dev/vinum/usr_a. This can be enough to ruin your day, so be sure to modify the device names.

Running this script installs a system that when booted provides:
Inherited users and groups.
Firewalled Internet connectivity over Ethernet and PPP.
Correct time zone and NTP.
Some more minor configuration, like /etc/ttys and inetd.
Other areas are prepared for configuration, but will not work until stage two is completed. For example we have copied files to configure printing and X11. Printing however is likely to need applications not found in the base system, like PostScript® utilities. X11 will not run before we have compiled the server, libraries and programs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 Stage Two: Ports Installation
Note: It is also possible to install the (precompiled) packages at this stage, instead of compiling ports. In this case, stage_2.sh would be nothing more than a list of pkg_add commands. I trust you know how to write such a script. Here we concentrate on the more flexible and traditional way of using the ports.
The following stage_2.sh script is how I install my favorite ports. It can be run any number of times and will skip all ports that are already installed. It supports the dryrun option (-n) to just show what would be done. You will certainly want to edit the list of ports, and possibly change a few environment variables.
The list of ports consists of lines with two or more space separated words: the category and the port, optionally followed by an installation command that will compile and install the port (default: make install). Empty lines and lines starting with # are ignored. Most of the time it suffices to only name category and port. A few ports however can be fine tuned by specifying make variables, e.g.:
www mozilla make WITHOUT_MAILNEWS=yes WITHOUT_CHATZILLA=yes install
mail procmail make BATCH=yes install
In fact you can specify arbitrary shell commands, so you are not restricted to simple make invocations:
java linux-sun-jdk13 yes | make install
news inn-stable CONFIGURE_ARGS="--enable-uucp-rnews --enable-setgid-inews" make install
Note that the line for news/inn-stable is an example for a one-shot shell variable assignment to CONFIGURE_ARGS. The port Makefile will use this as an initial value and augment some other essential args. The difference to specifying a make variable on the command line with
news inn-stable make CONFIGURE_ARGS="--enable-uucp-rnews --enable-setgid-inews" install
is that the latter will override instead of augment. It depends on the particular port which method you want.
Be careful that your ports do not use an interactive install, i.e. they should not try to read from stdin other than what you explicitly give them on stdin. If they do, they will read the next line(s) from your list of ports in the here-document and get confused. If stage_2.sh mysteriously skips a port or stops processing, this is likely the reason.
Here is stage_2.sh. It creates a log file named LOGDIR/category+port for each port it actually installs. If you do not have stage_2.sh on a shared partition make sure you copy it to the new system before you boot it.

6 Stage Three
You have installed your beloved ports during stage two. Some ports require a little bit of configuration. This is what stage three, the post-configuration is for. I could have integrated this post-configuration at the end of the stage_2.sh script. However, I think there is a conceptual difference between installing a port and modifying its out-of-the-box configuration that warrants a separate stage.
I have chosen to implement stage three as a Makefile because this allows easy selection of what you want to configure simply by running:
# make -f stage_3.mk target
As with stage_2.sh make sure you have stage_3.mk available after booting the new system, either by putting it on a shared partition or copying it somewhere on the new system.
# stage_3.mk - FreeBSD From Scratch, Stage 3: Ports Post-Configuration.
# Usage: make -f stage_3.mk all (config everything)
# or make -f stage_3.mk target (to just config target)
#
# It is a good idea to make sure any target can be made more than
# once without ill effect.

7 Limitations
The automated installation of a port may prove difficult if it is interactive and does not support make BATCH=YES install. For a few ports the interaction is nothing more than typing yes when asked to accept some license. If such input is read from the standard input, we simply pipe the appropriate answers to the installation command (usually make install; this is how we deal with java/linux-sun-jdk13 in stage_2.sh).
This strategy for example does not work for editors/staroffice52, which requires that X11 is running. The installation procedure involves a fair amount of clicking and typing, so it cannot be automated like other ports can. However the following workaround does the trick for me: first I create a staroffice package on the old system with
# cd /usr/ports/editors/staroffice52
# make package
===> Building package for staroffice-5.2_1
Creating package /usr/ports/editors/staroffice52/staroffice-5.2_1.tbz
Registering depends:.
Creating bzip'd tar ball in '/usr/ports/editors/staroffice52/staroffice-5.2_1.tbz'
and during stage two I simply use:
# pkg_add /usr/ports/editors/staroffice52/staroffice-5.2_1.tbz
You should also be aware of upgrade issues for config files. In general you do not know when and if the format or contents of a config file changes. A new group may be added to /etc/group, or /etc/passwd may gain another field. All of this has happened in the past. Simply copying a config file from the old to the new system may be enough most of the time, but in these cases it was not. If you update a system the canonical way (by overwriting the old files) you are expected to use mergemaster to deal with changes where you effectively want to merge your local config with potentially new items. Unfortunately, mergemaster is only available for base system files, not for anything installed by ports. Some third party software seems to be especially designed to keep me on my toes by changing the config file format every fortnight. All you can do is be alert, especially when the major version number bumps. In the past I had to tweak or rewrite files for web servers, news servers and readers. All software actively maintained is a prime candidate for config file scrutiny.
I have used FreeBSD From Scratch several times to update a 5-CURRENT to 5-CURRENT, i.e. I have never tried to install a 5-CURRENT from a 4-STABLE system or vice versa. Due to the number of changes between different major release numbers I would expect this process to be a bit more involved. Using FreeBSD From Scratch for upgrades within the realm of 4-STABLE should work painlessly (although I have not yet tried it.) Users of 4-STABLE may want to consider the following areas:
If you do not use the device file system (devfs) you may want to create devices for some of your hardware with MAKEDEV(8) in stage one, step six.
