memory stick the easy way
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I got tired of having to jump through hoops to install NetBSD on my
|
||
|
|
Eee PC, so I wrote a simple script to take a NetBSD release ISO and
|
||
|
|
convert it to an image that can be written to a USB memory stick.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use the script, simply feed it an ISO and tell it where to write
|
||
|
|
the resulting image:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ sh mkmemstick.sh i386cd-5.0.1.iso i386memstick-5.0.1.img
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The resulting image can be written to a memory stick using dd(1):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ dd if=i386memstick-5.0.1.img of=/dev/sd0d
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please note that this script depends on the sysutils/cdrtools package
|
||
|
|
for extracting the contents of the release ISO.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hopefully this will be integrated with the build process so these
|
||
|
|
images are available for those who cannot prepare an image due to lack
|
||
|
|
of access to a NetBSD machine.
