GNS3 and JunOS Olive

Playing with GNS3 and Juniper Olive

Installation

1. Install the base OS. For this install, we need FreeBSD version 4.4. (Here is an ISO for you) to download. A very generic installation is all that is required. Much of it gets blown away when you installl the JUNOS package anyway.
2. Boot from CDRom.
3. [Enter] to boot immediately.
4. Skip kernel configuration and continue with installation.
5. At the "/stand/sysinstall Main Menu", choose Standard.
6. At the "FDISK partition Editor", I used "A" for Use Entire Slice.
7. Choose "S" for Set Bootable.
8. Choose "Q" for Finish.
9. For the boot manager, go with "Standard" for a standard MBR.
10. At Disklabel Editor, I created the following slices:
ad0s1a / 500MB
ad0s1b swap 500MB
ad0s1c /config 100MB
ad0s1f /var (the rest)
11. At "choose distributions", go with "minimal"
12. Choose installation media: 1 CD/DVD
13. after the system reboots, make some mods to the system:

# rm /dev/wd0c && ln -s /dev/ad0c /dev/wd0c
# mkdir /var/etc
# touch /var/etc/master.passwd
# touch /var/etc/group
# touch /var/etc/inetd.conf
14. Add the jinstall package:
# pkg_add jinstall-xxx.tgz (you can't use "request system reboot" for the first reboot)
15. After the package completes, then
# reboot
