FreeBSD installation
Now that we have qemu installed, we can create the image for installing FreeBSD. Run this command to create it and allocate 4 GB:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 olive-base.img 4G |
Launch Qemu to install FreeBSD on the image:
qemu -m 256 -hda olive-base.img -cdrom 4.11-RELEASE-i386-miniinst.iso \ -boot d -localtime |
Qemu window will pop up (remember, by default press CTRL + ALT to release the cursor in Qemu):
Skip Kernel configuration:
Once Qemu has booted the FreeBSD installation image, you can select standard installation:
When you see the FDISK Partition Editor, press A to allocate the entire disk for FreeBSD and then Q to confirm:
Select “install a standard MBR” and when you see the FreeBSD Disklabel editor, press C to create the following partitions:
ad0s1a / 1024M ad0s1b swap 1024M ad0s1e /config 12M ad0s1f /var rest
Choose “User” distribution type and answer no for the question “Would you like to install the FreeBSD ports collection?”. Exit the menu and install from a FreeBSD CD/DVD:
Wait until all the files are installed in your image:
Once the files are copied, the installer program will ask you many user confirmation questions (Ethernet/SLIP config, gateway, inetd, FTP, NFS, security, console, linux compatibility, set time, etc). Just answer no for each of them. You will also be asked to enter a root password, just do and remember it. Now you should see the starting menu of the FreeBSD installer, exit by choosing X Exit Install. While FreeBSD CD is rebooting, quit Qemu by by pressing Ctrl-Alt-2, then type: quit.
I’ve followed all the instruction but after “qemu -m 256 -hda olive-base.img -boot c -localtime -nographic -serial stdio”, nothing happen. No qemu window appear and I only can see “stderr” and “stdout” files in the Qemu folder.
stderr notepad shows:
qemu: could not open serial device ‘mon:stdio’
stdout notepad shows:
Unable to open driver: stdio
I’m trying to install olive in WinXP SP3 with qemu-0.11.0.patched.win32.
did anyone have the same problem as me?
Hi,
I always encounter this error (ELF Binary Type ’0′ Not Known). Do I missed something?
Thanks
Everything went smoothly following the directions exactly a written, till I actually got to pkg_add.
The VM complained about not enough space, saying I needed to change PKG_TMPDIR to a location that had at least 905682568 bytes. I cleaned out files I don’t need any more and made sure PKG_TMPDIR was pointing to /var/tmp. After clening out the files I had 1060060 K bytes free. So that should be enough. But kept getting same error.
O tried to run scp [email protected]:~/Desktop/jinstall-8.5R1.14-domestic-signed.tgz /var/tmp command but request gets timed out.
I put my PCs hostname instead of user, even i tried with the user i logged in with in my pc but still the request is getting timed out “ssh: connect to host 10.0.2.2 port 22: Operation time out”
I wasted my 3 days to resolved this don’t know y its not working.
I had put only “qemu -m 256 -hda olive-base.img -boot c -localtime ” command when booting olive image cause when i put “qemu -m 256 -hda olive-base.img -boot c -localtime \
-net nic,macaddr=00:aa:00:60:01:01,model=e1000 -net user” the qemu does’n start….
Please help guys
hi while trying to upload Junos iam getting following error.
scp [email protected]:xxxxx\jinstall \var\tmp
ssh: connect to host 10.0.2.2 port 22: Operation timed out.
I thought my antivirus firewall might be blocking the udp and tcp packets so disabled that and tried .. then also i was unsuccessful pl help here.
FTR, the pcap check in the patch is wrong.
Compiler barfs at not caster int return and also,
the $TMPC should be abefore the $LIBPCAP for the test compile to work.
Does anyone running this on a MAC OS X 10.6 know the replacement option for “-cdrom” in the QEMU command:
qemu -m 256 -hda olive-base.img -cdrom 4.11-RELEASE-i386-miniinst.iso \ -boot d -localtime
/Volumes doesn’t work. Using the mount point doesn’t work. I had this working on 10.5, but remember -cdrom didn’t work.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
Hi, I’ve installed the olive by following the above procedure. However I’m facing currently two problems.
1. I configure the Juniper Router in GNS3 and commit changes bye using commit command. But it does not take effect. until unless I reload all the routers.
2. I’m unable to find serial interfaces, ATM interfaces & Sonet interfaces.
Can Anyone provide me the help regarding this.
Resolved JUNOS image upload problem :
My settings
- tap-interface with DHCP : ip taken 10.0.2.16
- Core FTP (mini-sftp-server) to upload your junos image (username=user,password=user)
then
sfttp [email protected]:jinstall-8.5R1.14-domestic-signed.tgz /var/tmp
from your freebsd VM
I’m not able to proceed with the following command:
qemu R1.img -m 96 -nographic -daemonize -serial telnet::2001,server,nowait \
-localtime -net nic,macaddr=00:aa:00:60:01:01,model=e1000 -net user
telnet localhost 2001
It produces a stderr.txt file containing:
qemu: invalid option — `-daemonize`
If I remove this option, it produces another error:
qemu: could not open monitor device `stdio`
Anyone else having this same issue?
Where do I put this command
“qemu-img create -f qcow2 olive-base.img 4G”
Hi to all,
I’ve tried to emulate JUNOS in GNS3 without success.
When I use the command “qemu -m 256 -hda olive-base.img -boot c -localtime \ -net nic -net tap,ifname=tap0 -net nic,macaddr=00:aa:00:60:01:01,model=e1000 -net user” (in Ubuntu 10.04) and after creating the tap interface with tunctl, I get the following message:
can’t add tap0 to bridge wlan0: operation not supported
I’ve tried to do it using the eth0 interface instead of wlan0, but I got the same results.
can anyone tell me what’s wrong??
Thanks!!
hi,
once olive is loaded, I configure an ip address for the en0 interface and do a commit but the check-out fails with this message:
vci/vpi/allow-any-vci is required
how is this possible if my interface is en0?
