      I am aware of the classic NanoBSD script in FreeBSD. But I want to build pfSense 2.1 NanoBSD image with some kernel tweaks in my configurations (particularly some options as stated in https://calomel.org/freebsd_network_tuning.html and some extra packages like "msyslog" for remote logging and "ssmtp" to replace sendmail and with "options VIMAGE" + "options NO_LKM" and ezjail-current package. It helps to run HAProxy in a jail, without interfereing pfSense.

      Usually I create a conf file with the relevant kernel options and another with customized NanoBSD config and execute the NanoBSD script.

      pfSense 2.1 scripts seems different, so any docs/hints to achieve above? Any pointers shall be appreciated! Thanks!

          Okay; I sorted out two of my concerns, remote logging and ssmpt issue.

          How can I make some changes from pfSense source to add some of the additional features to NanoBSD image as stated in the OP?

          Any guide or pointer? Thanks!

            Building your own image is not for the faint of heart.

              Thanks, that is what I have been searching for.

              @jimp: But what made you think that I am one among the 'faint of heart'? ;-)

              Anyway, thanks for the pointer. :D
