depenguinator

Use depenguinator 3.x to overwrite a remote linux server with a FreeBSD installer

Based on Colin Percival's "The Depenguinator 2.0"

Updated to support 9.x and later installer and dist file layout

Basic Method

  1. swapoff
  2. dd mfsbsd into the swap partition
  3. fiddle with grub to boot from the swap partition
  4. from inside mfsbsd, via ssh, you can reformat to FreeBSD

##Warning: Still contains sharp edges, is not really for automated use. It is very likely that using this tool without understanding it will leave your server in an unbootable state.
