Thanks for updating Irradium.
I tried it on my VF2, but for some reason it doesn’t boot from my micro SD card (other images do boot). I have one of the early VF2, V1.2A (not the first batch, but the second batch with only one 1GB Ethernet port and one 100M Ethernet port) and I did update the firmware.
I’m testing Irradium on my Banana Pi BPI-F3, but I think my notes might help others too.
Once I set the password for root and logged in, I followed this guide.
https://sudaraka.org/note-to-self/crux-installation-guide/
I started at the section “Create user(s)”.
I set the ethernet ports to DHCP, by setting USE_DHCP[0] and USE_DHCP[1] to yes in /etc/rc.d/net.
Just in case you need to set the date, I did it like this: date -s "8 JUL 2025 13:00:00"
Following the guide, I see it creates a new user for building packages.
I tried to remove the directory /usr/ports, but it’s not empty and the sub-directories are different from the ones that get created in the guide.
I never used Irradium or Crux before, so now I’m wondering if it is a good idea to keep following that guide.
If not, is there a better guide?
