You need a 4GB flash disc with FreeNAS installed on a partition of 2GB at least. You must also have a Hard Drive mounted already as you will be installing the FreeNAS and database on the hard drive instead of the flash disc. So say that location is /mnt/music you will do the following:

1. Enable SSH under services and permit root login.
2. Create under Access a user group called squeezeboxserver
3. Create under Access a user called squeezeboxserver belonging to the group squeezeboxserver
4. Get putty and make a connection to your FreeNAS
5. Login with root and whatever your admin password is for FreeNAS
6. Run the following commands:
setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-7.4-release/Latest/
setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-7-stable/Latest/
pkg_add -r perl
pkg_add -r sox
mkdir -p /var/logitechmediaserver/cache
mkdir -p /var/logitechmediaserver/logs
mkdir -p /var/logitechmediaserver/prefs
chown -R squeezeboxserver:squeezeboxserver /var/logitechmediaserver
chmod -R 777 /var/logitechmediaserver

mkdir -p /mnt/music/opt/

7. Copy the logitechmediaserver.tgz to the directory called /mnt/music/opt
8. cd /mnt/music/opt
9. tar xvf logitechmediaserver.tgz
9.5 Rename the directory that was just created by tar as per example below: /mnt/music/opt/logitechmediaserver and then
      chown -R squeezeboxserver:squeezeboxserver /mnt/music/opt/logitechmediaserver

10. /usr/local/bin/perl /mnt/tv/test/logitechmediaserver/slimserver.pl --cachedir /var/logitechmediaserver/cache --logdir /var/logitechmediaserver/logs --prefsdir /var/logitechmediaserver/prefs
10. /usr/local/bin/perl /mnt/music/opt/logitechmediaserver/slimserver.pl --cachedir /var/logitechmediaserver/cache --logdir /var/logitechmediaserver/logs --prefsdir /var/logitechmediaserver/prefs

The last command will startup the logitech media server. All I need now is a location to upload the 80meg file so anyone got a idea where to best host it?

Also note that for some reason the very first scan always creates a failure and there might still be little problems still as I don't really use FreeNAS at this stage. Will run it a bit in the VM and see.
