I am moving at a snails pace because I can't spend much time on the project but whenever I come up with, I'll share BOINC is a client which manages one or many different number crunching projects. It's not like I have any loyalty to FreeBSD, but I am trying to learn more about it and this is a great way of doing it, well until you run up against too many walls that is. I'd like to rule that out before I have to use Virtualbox and use a completely different OS. I think I'm going to try to see if I can use FreeBSD 9 in my VM to see if I can make it work, maybe there is a jail issue keeping things from working. It sucks running into these types of road blocks when you don't have as much time to devote to them as you would like. If I ever figure it out, there will be some good instructions. I have found very little in the way of instructions for this situation. What I didn't want to do was put this into a Virtualbox jail but I may be forced to. I thought it would be a good idea to move off my SetiAtHome and other programs I run on my main computer since the FreeNAS machine is running anyway.
BOINC PROJECTS NEEDING A LOT OF RAM INSTALL
Next I try something I didn't think would exist, pkg_add -r boinc-client and that "seems" to install everything until you try to get it to run. Then I run into patching orc which fails because it's the wrong version.
Then I ran into issues loading the linux.ko so now I don't update all the packages and just roll with what the jail originally provides. I first thought I'd update all the packages and then the pkg (8) needed to be updated, so I did that. I guess this is where it pay to have some BSD/Linux knowledge. So I'm using FreeBSD 9.3 and trying to install BOINC and SetiAtHome into a normal jail.
