Creating Ghost14 aarch64 ARM64 boot image from Klara Systems Document

Creating Ghost14 aarch64 ARM64 boot image from Klara Systems Document. update Dec/10/2023



https://klarasystems.com/articles/building-customized-freebsd-images/  Read and study this document to understand how to build a bootable image. you need 3 partitions for a minimal bootable image:
  1. ESP EFI FAT32  need a 50MB-760MB FAT32 filesystem GPT partition for the U-BOOT files needed by the raspberry pi 4B, 3B, 400 hardware  label esp

  2. SWAP space 2 GB on the USB Flash drive stick or on a USB SSD disk device label swapfs
  3. GhostBSD rootfs /  for the UFS file system to exist for booting the /boot/kernel/kernel image file.   If you 'dd' write this Ghost14_selfbuilt.img to a 16GB or larger USB Flash Drive Stick device,  You may resize the UFS file system to fill up the unused partition with a larger file space to fill up to the drive size. label rootfs

Use resize command with the disk name, ada0, ada1 da0, da1

camcontrol devlist
geom disk list
gpart status
gpart show -lp
gpart resize -i 3 -s 15G -a 4k ada0
growfs ada0p3

You might wish to  gpart recover ada0  to fix corrupt partition tables at the end of the ada0 disk.

note to me,Fred;  here is where to find the Ghost14_selfbuilt.img file root@fredselfbuilt_rpi4b:~ # ln -s /root/Ghost14_selfbuilt.img  /usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/ghostbsd-14-aarch64-ghostbsd_ports/.latest/All/Ghost14_selfbuilt.img

Update December 10, 2023 image created

 ln -s /root/Ghost14_selfbuilt_raspi4b.img.xz  /usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/ghostbsd-14-aarch64-ghostbsd_ports/Ghost14_selfbuilt_raspi4b.img.xz

  ln -s /root/Ghost14_selfbuilt_raspi4b.img.xz  /usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/Ghost14_selfbuilt_raspi4b.img.xz

 From previous camcontrol devlist  command, we see that da1 is a used Ventoy.net
USB 128GB Flash Disk drive stick.  I have previously copied the information '.ISO files' to another disk for safe keeping. Now, I will overwrite with a new image file.

I am going to 'dd' write the file Ghost14_selfbuilt.img ,write over the top of this Kingston DataTraveler USB 3.0 128GB disk device stick.

https://ghostbsd-arm64.blogspot.com/2023/11/arm64-boot-usb-flash-drive-hey-buddy.html  How the image file was built



mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos

cp -p  GhostBSD.conf /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/


Place this file,  GhostBSD.conf  in the repos directory.  

DO NOT edit /etc/pkg/GhostBSD.conf or /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf  configuration files.
Edit these same configuration files in /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos



$ cat GhostBSD.conf
# $GhostBSD$
#
# To disable this repository, instead of modifying or removing this file,
# create a /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/GhostBSD.conf file:

Pick one tool to download the file GhostBSD.conf and place into directory /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos

fetch     http://ghostbsdarm64.hopto.org/packages/GhostBSD.conf
wget  -c  http://

If the following steps work,  You might have a GUI XFCE desktop to use and enjoy. I expect problems and missing packages.  Best of luck and report back in the comments your success or the problems you found. You might have to edit file /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/GhostBSD.conf by changing url to:

  url: "https://76.14.239.229/packages/ghostbsd-14-aarch64-ghostbsd_ports/All",
#   url: "https://76.14.239.229/packages/ghostbsd-14-aarch64-ghostbsd_ports/.latest",

pkg -N
pkg list
pkg -d update
pkg search - | wc     how many packages exist in this repository
pkg  install  xorg  xfce  xfce4-goodies lightdm    or  slim instead of lightdm

If package tool  pkg is not connecting or working for you.  You may first save the file into  GhostBSD.conf.orig file name with:
cd  /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
ls -lh
cp -p GhostBSD.conf GhostBSD.conf.orig

vi  GhostBSD.conf  and change the URL to something that works for your needs.
Change either the IP number of the website, or change the ending of the directory names from  All, Latest, .latest  to be able to  pkg bootstrap or   pkg bootstrap -f

As of December 10, 2023  pkg --version  is 1.20.9  https://www.freshports.org/ports-mgmt/pkg/
