Hello Everyone,
I was just wondering, when i downloaded the FreeNAS-8.2.0-RELEASE-p1-x86.iso image, the size was 96M.
I installed the 8.2.0 release and tried it out, I like it. However, curiosity did get the better of me, so I wanted to compile and install a fresh installation.
I updated my sources and checked out the FreeNAS. After following the instructions in the README, I ended up with the fresh ISO and images. My question is,
Why is the image I compile on my machine twice the size than the ISO i downloaded?
Also, as we can see from uname -a, I compiled this on a 9.0-RELEASE. Is this a problem?
It Seems when I attempt to boot this installation image in virtualbox, it hangs right after it loads the kernel and never boots.
I know the README says the environment need to be 8.2 or higher so I am wondering if 9.0 was the problem :)
thanks in advance.
