-# Experiments with FreeBSD on Intel Compute Stick
+# Experiments with FreeBSD on Intel Compute Stick
+
+## Ingredients
+
+Acquire an Intel Compute Stick with Atom CPU and 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage.
+
+The product code I got is BOXSTCK1A32WFC.
+
+You'll also need:
+
+- a USB hub
+- a USB thumbdrive with FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT (10.2-RELEASE UEFI memstick panics)
+- a USB keyboard & mouse
+- a USB nic/wifi adapter
+
+We won't be installing FreeBSD because the internal disk can't be detected but we can run the LiveCD image from the thumbdrive.
+
+Also the internal wifi adapater is not detected which is why I suggest a USB nic/wifi adapter.
+
+## Test Device
+
+Boot into default OS and make sure everything works. In my case it was "Windows 8.1 with Bing".
+
+I sped through the default OS OOBE and just made sure everything worked fine to rule out faulty hardware.
+
+## Create Medusa (Connect USB Peripherals)
+
+Since the Intel Compute Stick only has 1 USB port, connect the USB hub, and everything else to the hub.
+
+## Boot into the BIOS (pressing F2)
+
+![image of Mr Bean tapping piano key](http://i.imgur.com/uzjIGfi.gif)
+
+## Change BIOS setting
+
+In the BIOS, under __Configuration__, change __Select Operating System__ from __Windows 32bit__ to __Ubuntu 64bit__.
+
+__Save Changes and Exit__.
+
+## Boot from USB thumbdrive (pressing F10).
+
+Select your USB thumbdrive
+
+![image of Mr Bean tapping piano key](http://i.imgur.com/uzjIGfi.gif)
+
+## Select LiveCD
+
+Login with `root` and no password.
+
+Check what network adapters you have with `ifconfig`.
+
+You'll notice there is only `lo0` and which ever USB nic/wifi adapter you plugged in.
+
+Check what disk you have with `gpart show`.
+
+You'll notice there is only `da0` which is your USB thumbdrive.
+
+## Let's increase the size of `/tmp` and `/var` so we can play with `pkg`
+
+Remount the `/` as read-write:
+
+`mount -o rw /`
+
+Set the tmpsize variable in `rc.conf` with:
+
+`sysrc tmpsize=300m`
+
+Set the varsize varialbe in `rc.conf` with:
+
+`sysrc varsize=300m`
+
+My USB wifi adapter used the realtek drivers which I had to read and accept by setting a variabl in `/boot/loader.conf`
+
+Now `reboot`
+
+## Enable wifi from a USB adapter
+
+Where `rsu0` is your real wifi adapter name detected by FreeBSD:
+
+`ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev rsu0`
+
+Scan available wifi ssid networks with:
+
+`ifconfig wlan0 up scan`
+
+Create a file `/etc/wpa.conf` to save your wifi settings:
+
+```
+network={
+ssid="$SSID"
+psk="$PASSWORD"
+}
+```
+
+Tell your `wlan0` which ssid to connect to:
+
+`ifconfig wlan0 ssid $SSID`
+
+Use `wpa_supplicant` to negotiate the password:
+
+`wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa.conf &`
+
+Get an IP address from your router:
+
+`dhclient wlan0`
+
+## We're going to temporarily link `/usr/local` to `/var/usrlocal` since we're only playing around
+
+__DO NOT DO THIS ON A REAL SYSTEM__
+
+```
+mount -o rw /
+mkdir /var/usrlocal 
+rmdir /usr/local
+ln -s /var/usrlocal /usr/local
+```
+
+## Now let's use `pkg` to download and install some programs
+
+Bootstrap `pkg`:
+
+`env ASSUME_ALWAYS_YES=yes pkg bootstrap`
+
+Install `screenfetch`:
+
+`pkg install -y screenfetch`
+
+Mount the fdescfs needed by screenfetch:
+
+`mount -t fdescfs fdesc /dev/fd`
+
+Run it:
+
+`screenfetch`
