BUILDING INSTRUCTIONS:
 1. Configuration
    Read hints in the sample configuration files in the conf/ directory, copy
    these files to files without .sample ending and make modifications to suit 
    your needs.

 2. Additional packages and files
    If you want any packages installed, copy the .tbz files that should be 
    automatically installed into the packages/ directory.

    Add any additional files into the customfiles/ directory. These will be copied
    recursively into the root of the boot image.

    WARNING: Your image should not exceed 45MB in total, otherwise kernel panic
             may occur on boot-time. To allow bigger images, you have to
             recompile your kernel with increased NKPT (e.g. NKPT=120)

 3. Distribution or custom world and kernel
    You may choose to build from a FreeBSD distribution (e.g. CDROM), or by
    using make buildworld / buildkernel from your own world and kernel
    configuration.

    To use a distribution (e.g. FreeBSD cdrom), you need access to it 
    (e.g. a mounted FreeBSD ISO via mdconfig) and use BASE=/path/to/distribution

    To use your own but already built world and kernel, use CUSTOM=1
    If you want this script to do make buildworld and make buildkernel for you,
    use BUILDWORLD=1 and BUILDKERNEL=1

4. Creating images

    You may create three types of output: disc image for use by dd(1), 
    ISO image or a simple .tar.gz file

    Examples:

    a) disc image
	make BASE=/cdrom/usr/freebsd-dist
	make BASE=/cdrom/11.0-RELEASE
        make CUSTOM=1 BUILDWORLD=1 BUILDKERNEL=1

    b) bootable ISO file:
	make iso BASE=/cdrom/usr/freebsd-dist
	make iso BASE=/cdrom/11.0-RELEASE
	make iso CUSTOM=1 BUILDWORLD=1 BUILDKERNEL=1

    c) .tar.gz file:
	make tar BASE=/cdrom/usr/freebsd-dist
	make tar BASE=/cdrom/11.0-RELEASE
	make tar CUSTOM=1 BUILDWORLD=1 BUILDKERNEL=1

    d) roothack edition:
	make iso CUSTOM=1 BUILDWORLD=1 BUILDKERNEL=1 ROOTHACK=1

    e) special edition (with FreeBSD distribution):
	make iso BASE=/cdrom/11.0-RELEASE RELEASE=11.0-RELEASE ARCH=amd64

    f) GCE-compatible .tar.gz file:
	make gce BASE=/cdrom/usr/freebsd-dist
	make gce BASE=/cdrom/11.0-RELEASE
	make gce CUSTOM=1 BUILDWORLD=1 BUILDKERNEL=1
