So I've had some time on my hands and I thought I would try this out.
I booted the installer, made a hammer filesystem on the spare partition
and mounted it at /mnt
I then created a usr/src directory there and cloned the dragonfly
repository.
I attempted buildworld but it failed as /usr/obj ran out of space. I
couldn't find a variable for changing that so I null mounted
/mnt/usr/obj there which seemed to work.
I then ran:
make -j4 buildworld
make -j4 buildkernel
make installworld DESTDIR=/mnt
make installkernel DESTDIR=/mnt

make upgrade failed with something about there being no group '6' (sorry
couldn't get the logs)
Chainloading with grub does not work as it errors with
"error: Invalid signature"

I'm not sure what to do next. Any ideas how I could get it booting?
