Hi @drew@social.freebitcoin.gay

Not sure if anybody has got in touch about this but a few notes on the installation steps for #AlpineBSD. Apologies for getting in touch here too, I haven't found my way to the wiki contact yet (go-away isn't kicking in for me) :-)

Actually - don't worry - i'm in! I see there's a patch already so all good!


Firstly, in the Partitions steps - it probably needs $target at the end of each of the gpt add... lines

On Install packages, apk is not immediately runnable after downloading and making it executable, so it should probably be /mnt/sbin/apk ... instead of just apk ... before chrooting into the partitions (can't chroot before this because /bin/sh doesn't exist until absd-base is installed :-)

Also, it needs to be apk add ... otherwise people will get a not an apk command error

Other than that, I have successfully got an AlpineBSD VM running! Thanks for your efforts!
