tested on ubuntu/bionic and slackware14.2
fsck_ext2fs has been enhanced therefore this is now possible since netbsd-current Sun Mar 31 13:16:52 2019 UTC (revs 1.36 - 1.39)
The script has been tested against XEN/PV, XEN/HVM and bare-metal.
See the Tracking Daily section on PXE // NetBSD for getting the necessary sets and kernels down there: /tftpboot/netbsd9/amd64/
bare-metal
cd ~/
XEN PV or HVM
guest=nbsd mkdir -p /data/guests/$guest/ cd /data/guests/$guest/ #xl des nbsd #rm -f nbsd nbsd.sparse
and prepare the script
wget http://pub.nethence.com/bin/netbsd.install.bash.txt cp netbsd.install.bash.txt netbsd.install.bash chmod +x netbsd.install.bash
point to either previously fetched current or release branch
vi netbsd.install.bash.txt sets=/tftpboot/netbsd9/amd64/binary/sets kernel=/tftpboot/netbsd9/amd64/binary/kernel
define network parameters that will be pushed into the guest image
#cat ~/.ssh/id_*.pub cat > network.conf <<-EOF9 pubkey="" #only one vnic defined, if you need xennet1, tune the guest config accordingly netif=xennet0 host=$guest ipmask=IP-ADDRESS/CIDR #may be empty gw= dnses="208.67.222.222 208.67.222.222" EOF9 vi network.conf
the script will mount and unmuont /mnt/ from either /dev/sda1
./netbsd.install.bash -h #./netbsd.install.bash baremetal
or from <guest>.sparse
./netbsd.install.bash pv $guest #./netbsd.install.bash hvm $guest
MAKEDEV -u would be enough?/etc/rc.local (after some daemons have been loaded)?
