2. Install JUNOS software
2.1 Boot freebsd and login with root
#cd /var/tmp
#ftp x.x.x.x <-- get junos software
get jinstall-8.5R1.4-domestic-signed.tgz
#mkdir jinst-signed
#cd jinst-signed
#tar xvfz ../jinstall-8.5R1.4-domestic-signed.tgz
#mkdir jinst
#cd jinst
#tar xvfz ../jinstall-8.3R1.4-domestic.tgz
#mkdir pkgtools
#cd pkgtools
#tar xvfz ../pkgtools.tgz
#cd bin
#cp /usr/bin/true checkpic
#cd ..
#tar zcvf ../pkgtools.tgz *
#cd ..
#rm -rf pkgtools
#tar zcvf /var/tmp/jinstall-8.3R1.4-domestic-signed-olive.tgz *
#rm /dev/wd0c && ln -s /dev/ad0c /dev/wd0c
#mkdir /var/etc
#touch /var/etc/master.passwd
#touch /var/etc/group
#touch /var/etc/inetd.conf
! install JUNOS
#pkg_add /var/tmp/jinstall-8.3R1.4-domestic-signed-olive.tgz
! reboot to continue
3. VirtualBox clone VDI for Backup & for R2 R3 ..
On MacBook
$ cd Library/VirtualBox/VDI/
$ VBoxManage clonehd JuniperOlive.vdi JuniperOlive_R1.vdi

Clone hard disk created in format 'VDI'. UUID: 564eefe7-350f-42a3-bfd2-bb967d2f998e
3.1 New VM name JuniperOlive_R2, JuniperOlive_R3 and select harddisk from clone
3.2 Config VirtualBox JuniperOlive_R2, JuniperOlive_R3 details same JuniperOlive_R1
- Set Serial ports path different from R1, such as path: /tmp/olive2, /tmp/olive3
4. Start Olive
on macbook open new terminal
$socat -d -d /tmp/olive1 pty <-- Create new PTY. Example /dev/ttys001
$minicom -o -s <-- console and setup select port /dev/ttys001
5. Finish
