Hello I want to start using FreeBSD after using debian unstable for a year :)
So I installed FreeBSD 5.1 about 2 months ago. I installed gaim and figured out that this version of gaim didn't support msn. So I wanted to upgrade my ports tree, but because my laptop is 300 mhz, I do not want to recompile my whole ports tree. I looked at freebsd-update but couldn't figure out how it worked. I also looked at PACKAGESITE and PACKAGEROOT, but that only grabs the latest packages instead of updating the whole ports system. (I'm missing the apt-get update/upgrade tools:) Could somebody show me how to update the ports. Further, I want to use acpi, but it gives the following error while it tries to mount my drive: setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mountfailed: 6 After that I get something like this: Manual root filesystem specification: <fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype> e.g. ufs:/dev/ad0s1a ? List valid diskboot devices <empty line> Abort manual input mountroot> It's not possible to mount the filesytem :( If I disable acpi than my system will boot normally. So has anyone encounterd this problem, and if not, how can I get my dmesg output to put in a bug report. This is on a toshiba portege 3020ct.
