Re: (Yet Another) Home Networking Question
I was able to get my network up and running with the suggestions below. To review, my setup is the following: ISP FreeBSD Gateway Win2k Box --rl0--rl1--- ALL DHCP 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2 rl0 is connected to the modem by ethernet and set for DHCP, the ISP's method of address asignment. rl1 is the second NIC in the BSD box, and is connected by crossover cable to the Win2k box. FreeBSD box and Win2k box can successfully ping each other, and both FreeBSD box and Win2k have working internet access. Everything is running A-OK. If I wish to host WinVNC on the Win2k box, do I need to make any changes to the Gateway? Specifically, WinVNC requires the Win2k box to be listening on 5800 and 5900; I have opened these ports (and these ports only) on the Win2k box. Do I need to change rc.conf or any other files on the gateway to specify that all incoming connections on 5800 and 5900 be forwarded from rl0 to rl1? Am I gonna have to step up to IPFW (yuck!) ??

Re: gtk-gnutella-0.93.2 crashing frequently..
Quoting Jason [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
anyone else seeing this app dumping core very frequently?
a core file can be seen at
http://monsterjam.org/core/
the previous version I portupgraded from 0.91 I believe was working fine
and dandy before I portupgraded it.
regards,
Jason
Hi Jason,
I can't access your core file (probably permissions). It
probably wouldn't help much, as I would need to reproduce
the executable it came from, and code. The crash output
would be more useful, for me.
At any rate, the problem you're experiencing is likely due to
a bug reported recently, which causes a segfault when
running the gtk1 version on freebsd. (Without getting too far
into it, a widget with 7 items is hard-coded with 5 items. The
problem wasn't noticed in advance as the dev.s mostly use
linux. I use the gtk2 version, so I was unaware of the bug.)
For fixing, there are three or four options for you.
1. Get and compile the newest cvs. (which is currently in
freeze for a bugfix release.)
This will also fix a minor memory leak that was discovered
recently.
Get a snapshot here:
http://gtk-gnutella.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=devel#devel-snapshots
Run:
./Configure -d -e -Dyacc='bison -y' -Dofficial='true'
-Dprefix=${PREFIX} -Dbindir=${PREFIX}/bin
-Dprivlib=${PREFIX}/share/gtk-gnutella
-Dsysman=${PREFIX}/man/man1
-Dlocale=${PREFIX}/share/locale
-Dccflags='${CFLAGS} -I${LOCALBASE}/include/'
(note 1: the above are defaults for the port.)
(note 2: if ICU is installed, you will need to run
interactively (remove -d) and remove the linking
to -licuuc, or edit it out in the Configure script.)
then make make install, as usual.
2. find a package from the previous release in ports
(0.93).
This was a very recent update, and it is likely there
are good package builds out there.
3. Wait a few days.
As I mentioned, a serious bug was found in the gtk1
version, and a bugfix release is imminent. The port will
be updated as soon as the source is available.
4. compile a gtk2 version.
Using gtk2 takes quite a bit of cpu (I'd say, don't bother
if you have less than 600 MHz), but should allow you to
run... (Use WITH_GTK2 to do.)
On behalf of the gtk-g project, I would like to formally
apologize. Many new people have joined the dev. team,
and some issues with memory leaks, etc., have been
occuring with some frequency. While work is being
achieved at a much faster rate than ever before, this
also means that undiscovered bugs enter the code
more than ever before.
In response, a new policy of doing a 'code freeze'
before release has been instituted now, and newer
version should, hopefully, show less and less of this.
(Keep in mind the software only purports to be beta
quality)
One criticism for you, though. Your statement that
0.91 I believe was working fine is a *very* bad point
of view. Gnutella is an evolving protocol, and frequent
updates of the client software are a neccesity. In fact,
version 0.91 is considered fully deprecated, and other
gtk-gnutella nodes will not even connect to you. (Their
existence is considered harmful to the network.)
I don't want to scold you or anything, but that is a
common thought that, really, *must* end.
Regards,
Clayton Rollins
PS. sorry for taking some time to respond. I only get
this list in digest form, so didn't see your post
immediately. On the same note, be sure to cc any
replies directly to me.
PPS. If you need personal assistance, help is available
on #gtk-gnutella on freenode.net.

automatic dump and restore over
Hi, I think I have a plan for upgrading a large number of computers over the network. I would really appreciate some help finding flaws in this idea. All the servers is installed with one partition for /, one for /var/. When I do the initial install I move the /etc to /var/etc and synlink /etc to point at /var/etc. This should make the / partition exactly the same on all the servers. On the reference server (where I do all the upgrades) I then use dump to create a file from the / partition. This file is the zipped and moved to my laptop from installation on all the other servers. The laptop is then connected to the same network as the server that needs upgrading. The laptop is running DHCP, TFTP and NFS services. All servers are set to boot using PXE and once I reboot it the server boots an image from the laptop containing a picobsd dist with a modified startup script. This script automatically mounts the hard drive on the server and a directory on the laptop containing the dump-file from the reference server. Then it uses restore to write the dump-file over the / partition on the server. After the upgrade is complete I reboot the server without the DHCP server active and the server should boot using the new / partition. Can this work? I have read that dump/restore is the best solution for backing up disks. Could there be any problems using restore on a partition already allocated?

The lines do indeed wrap so this does the job on a test file.
I do have the re-exp book but this one is far ovr my head.
What do the \s* mean, and also thr \.?/ ?
OK. Time to disect a regular expression. Let's just isolate the RE
bits from the surrounding stuff:
\s*\w+_\w+\.?
There are 5 parts to this:
1 \s*
2\w+
3 _
4\w+
5 \.?
1) \s* -- '\s' is a metacharacter for matching whitespace: it's equivalent
to saying [ \t\n\r\f]. The '*' operator says any number of these,
including zero.
2) \w+ -- '\w' is a metacharacter for matching 'word' characters.
What it means is locale dependent, but if you're using the ASCII
locale it corresponds to [a-zA-Z_0-9]. The '+' operator means one
or more or these. Note that while \w+ matches character sequences
containing _, it will also match words that don't: hence
3) _ -- match a literal '_' character. ie. this forces the matched
text to contain at least one underscore.
4) \w+ -- as (2) matches the rest of the stuff_separated_by_underscores
after the underscore we've forced a match to[1].
5) \.? -- \. matches a literal '.' It has to be escaped (with a \)
because plain '.' on it's own is the used as the wildcard to match
any character. The '?' operator means optional, or more precisely,
either zero or one of those.
Now, the whole command:
perl -pi.bak -e 's/${re}//g;' filename
scans through the file line_by_line, matching strings_connected_with
underscores on each line. Björn Andersson noticed that you would need
the 'g' option to the s/// substitution command which means repeat
this substitution more than once, if necessary. Like in the first
line_of_this_paragraph.
Then I realised that there were situations, like the last line of the
previous paragraph, where there wouldn't be any leading whitespace to
match.
Of course, this all depends on the sequences of words_connected_with_
underscores not wrapping around onto more than one line, as in this
contrived example, where the word 'underscores' on the second line of
this paragraph wouldn't be deleted. There are several other edge
cases like that, if word-wrap is permitted. But it was never specified
if that was the case or not and I've assumed not because coping with
that sort of thing is a bit trickier.
Cheers,
Matthew
[1] In fact, due to the way regular expressions work, the literal
underscore (3) will actually match at the last underscore out of all
the stuff we're matching, and the stuff matched by chunk (4) won't
contain any underscores.

Using a usb compact flash card reader
Hello, I'm successfully using a usb compact flash card reader with FreeBSD-5.2-RC2/amd64. It is a _intern_ reader (and because of this constantly attached to the usb bus). However, I can only use it when I plug the memory card in BEFORE BOOTING. When I try to attach the memory card later, it will not be found.

Sane USB problem with HP ScanJet 5300C on FreeBSD-5.2-RC2/amd64
Hello, I'm trying to get my scanner to work on FreeBSD 5.2-RC2/amd64. I can see the scanner with sane-find-scanner and usbdevs but scanimage seems to hang. I'm using the sane-backends-1.0.12_3 and sane-frontends-1.0.11 and libusb-0.1.7_1 from the package tree (but also tried ports and a newer backends version as well). See attached the DEBUG output of scanimage -L. For me it looks like the scanner is found and a request is written to it, but there is never an anwer. Beside, how do I use libusb on 5.2? The man pages are saying something about creating /dev/ugen* but as 5.2 uses devfs, you can't create it and it isn't there.

sendmail aliases not worked as expected
I am having trouble getting /etc/mail/aliases to properly forward system messages such as cron or periodic events. Actually this problem affects even mail input using the mail command or any other method. Although the cron/periodic is what I require the most. When a cron or periodic task creates an email to say root...it gets mailed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Which results in an error message Jan 7 03:03:01 butters sm-mta[1511]: i07331me001498: SYSERR(root): butters.kibserv.org. config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem?) A bounce message is generated and sends cleanly to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The original message is removed from the queue...apparently this error is fatal to the original message. my alias file contains the following root: [EMAIL PROTECTED] seti: [EMAIL PROTECTED] kib:[EMAIL PROTECTED] virtualuser:[EMAIL PROTECTED] and many other entries...most are the defaults in the original file enabled and almost all eventually point to root anyhow. And yes I have run newaliases and received successful and positive response. 10:17am butters:/etc/mail # newaliases /etc/mail/aliases: 38 aliases, longest 22 bytes, 504 bytes total This problem seemed to start about the time I upgrades from 4.7 to 5.2.

But since I can't find much documentation on these other than what I can make from the rc.sendmail I might still just be using the wrong rc.conf the wrong way. It seems to me that sendmail is completely ignoring the /etc/mail/aliases file Even when I try to send mail to kib (a real user) or the virtualuser the mail always tries to go to [EMAIL PROTECTED] eventually bounces and gets attached to a message to the postmaster. I suppose the aliases are not completely ignored because no mail ever gets to the local user mail accounts.

Re: Download contents of http directory?
If the admin does allow downloading, you will simply see the list by typing the path to the directory in the url you wish to look at. For example, lets say that you have a directory /music/ . If the webserver has directory listings on, you can simply type http://www.mydomain.com/music/ and it will automatically generate a list of all the files and return it to the viewer as an html page with hyperlinks. This behavior exists in most webservers including apache and IIS. Personally, I always turn it off. If i want someone to access a file, i give them a link to it. Apache has a directive in the config file for this. For the other question about downloading mp3's: I'm a bit unclear. Are the mp3's turned into real audio files or streamed by a real audio server? Is it just that your computer is using real player to play the files that are in fact mp3s? If the files are streamed by a real server, you will need a program to get them easily that can talk the protocol and collect the stream. If the files are somewhat hidden on the webserver, you will need the url to download them. If its just real player that is playing them, look at the html source for the page list and paste the link into a terminal.. fetch or wget should be able to grab them. If you are clicking on a link and then real player is spawning, you might be able to right click on the link and hit save target as... to save the original file. That would also work to get a real player playlist to get the real url of the files provided the person used an old version of real player. RAM files are usually text files that contain a url to a file. Give real player that file, and it will stream the file. I used to use that trick on one of my sites.

scanning for bad blocks before install
disclaimer-rant I have read many messages concerning the topic of bad blocks...most of them more than 4 years old and quite obsolete now. And I have read the faq and understand about modern ide drives and the automatic block mapping and the fact that my drive in question is quite possible past saving. /disclaimer-rant What I need to know is how to detect a drive with bad blocks before I put it into service. Here is what just happened to me...and could possible happen again. I took an old 10GB drive off the shell that has been unused for some time because I needed some quick temp storage while I move files around other drives. I used the sysinstall utility to fdisk in DD mode and create a single slice covering the entire drivepretty much standard for any freebsd disks I employ now a days. everything went perfect and no error were indicated whatsoever. I began coping file...about 9.5 gigs to free up some space on another drive so I can continue downloads. My intention is to move all these downloaded to cdr eventually. I began to test these files on the 10gb drive since there are video fansubs (usually avi files) and I wanted to ensure there were no errors or bad encoding since I was getting these from gnutella. it was during these tests that I discovered quite a few corrupted filesand for one such group of files I had an sfv file to check against. But upon using gsfv the system bogs down to the point where I have to hard reset to recover. Thinking gsfv is doing something bad I try chsfv and then I see the hard disk errors. Aparently quite a few bad blocks on this 10GB drive exist and there was no indication of a problem until an actual read was attempted. Now what is wrong with this scenario is this. Why doesn't fdisk and or bsdlabel do some sort of bad black scan before allowing a user to put a drive into service. I cant even find an option to do this manually in either fdisk or fsck. I have read many archived messages were people want a way to mark bad blocks as unusable and there is apparently no way to do this other than badsect(8). So far I cant find a successful method of finding the exact block or sector number to feed to badsect(8). I have read that dd if=/dev/ad1s1a of=/dev/null will print errors with sector numbers as it finds one it cat read. But all this produced was hard read errors that said nothing about the location the failed read. Understanding this drive is a lost cause I would like to see if I can make use of it for at least the next week or so until I can get start getting this data to cdr. Luckily for me nothing put on this drive is criticalit all can be refetched if needed. Anyhow there is my rant for the month. Anyone shed some light on how I might avoid a similar situation in the future? This isn't the first time I was burned this way. If nothing else I would settle for someone giving me a good port program to do surface scans with. To keep me abreast of drives beginning to fail I might like to surface scan entire disks every couple months...especially since many of my drives are over 3 years old and I am typically put them through some brutal workloads occasionally.

But since I can't find much documentation on these other than what I can make from the rc.sendmail I might still just be using the wrong rc.conf the wrong way. It seems to me that sendmail is completely ignoring the /etc/mail/aliases file Even when I try to send mail to kib (a real user) or the virtualuser the mail always tries to go to [EMAIL PROTECTED] eventually bounces and gets attached to a message to the postmaster. I suppose the aliases are not completely ignored because no mail ever gets to the local user mail accounts. Also note that the kibserv.org is an old domain no longer registered...but we still use it for testing purposes. To prove this is not a dns related issue here is a few digs. Our local dns server has all the correct records. 10:29am butters:/etc/mail # dig kibserv.org mx If the system is sending mail to itself for processing, as most mx's do, you need to have the full host name in the local-host-names file.

It is almost like the I/O is too fast and something happens.. Are you seeing any errors in dmesg or /var/log/messages? I haven't seen any other reports of I/O hanging, so it might still be something to do with your hardware or kernel config. On my test system the machine will run for days with this happening, however, I have another system that is actually doing a lot of I/O eventually it crashes (well locks up completely)... If there is any particular info you might need, I am willing to do what I can.

Zebra implemets a number of routing protocols, including bgp. With BGP you can pick the best route *out* for your packet, but everyone else's BGP sessions will decide the best route *in* for you. In other words, you can't really shape the incoming traffic very much. In order to setup BGP you'll need to get both your upstreams to setup BGP sessions with you, which is very unlikely to happen. It's also unlikely to really buy you any performance advantage after you subtract the bandwidth that the routing protocol takes. Lastly, you don't have any routes to advertise that will help. I assume, at least, that you just have a /32 for each connection, in which case you'd be trying to advertise a /32 to the entire Internet.

Re: automatic dump and restore over
Thanks for all the good answers. Just one final question. Do you think it is at all possible to do this update without rebooting? It would save time but I assume that this is impossible. The reason I thinking of doing it this way is because I need to distribute the update on a bootable cd. I need a method that is as failsafe as it can be without any user-interaction (Except for turning the power switch). Thanks, Rickard. - Original Message - From: Matthew Seaman [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Rickard Dahlstrand [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 11, 2004 1:51 PM Subject: Re: automatic dump and restore over On Sun, Jan 11, 2004 at 12:00:12PM +0100, Rickard Dahlstrand wrote: All the servers is installed with one partition for /, one for /var/. When I do the initial install I move the /etc to /var/etc and synlink /etc to point at /var/etc. This should make the / partition exactly the same on all the servers. If you move /etc like this, you'll make the machines so treated unbootable. There's critical stuff in /etc that has to be in the root partition for the boot process to be able to find it. On the reference server (where I do all the upgrades) I then use dump to create a file from the / partition. This file is the zipped and moved to my laptop from installation on all the other servers. The laptop is then connected to the same network as the server that needs upgrading. The laptop is running DHCP, TFTP and NFS services. All servers are set to boot using PXE and once I reboot it the server boots an image from the laptop containing a picobsd dist with a modified startup script. This script automatically mounts the hard drive on the server and a directory on the laptop containing the dump-file from the reference server. Then it uses restore to write the dump-file over the / partition on the server. After the upgrade is complete I reboot the server without the DHCP server active and the server should boot using the new / partition. Can this work? I have read that dump/restore is the best solution for backing up disks. Could there be any problems using restore on a partition already allocated? It strikes me as a lot more complicated than the recommended method, which is to designate one machine as a 'build box', where you build all of the OS and kernels you need. You then NFS export /usr/src and /usr/obj and mount them on the machine you want to update. Then you can use 'make installkernel', 'make installworld' and 'mergemaster' to do the update. Possibly with a few other steps here and there -- for full instructions start with: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/small-lan.html However, if you decide to stick with your first idea, then I'd make a few changes: i) Copy the contents of /etc to your /var as a backup. Leave the original /etc in place on the root partition. If you're going to be doing this sort of thing regularly, then you can set up a cron(8) job: the net/rsync port will let you do the copies very efficiently. ii) Before you rewrite your root partition, you should run newfs(8) on it to blank it. restore(8) can overwrite a populated partition, but it works best given an empty filesystem. iii) After you've restored your example root partition, copy back the contents of /etc. Note that this will wipe out any updates to files within /etc which came as part of the upgrade. mergemaster(8) will help you fix things up, or you can be selective about what contents of /etc you actually keep backed up -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Trouble getting network card to work
Hello, I've just installed FreeBSD 4.9 and am having trouble getting my network card to work. It is very odd, because it appears as though the kernel recognizes the card just fine and is using the pcn module to bring it up, etc. It is an AMD 79c79x card (according to FreeBSD). I can view/set properties via ifconfig - and it properly shows whether or not there is link. I cannot obtain a DHCP lease, nor can I ping any other hosts on my network when I have a static IP configured. To ensure that the NIC is fine and all cables, etc. - I booted from a bootable Linux CD (Knoppix), where I was able to use the card fine to ping, browse the Internet, etc. Linux showed it as an AMD 79c970 [PCNET32 LANCE] card. The card is called pcn0 in FreeBSD, and it says that it is sharing IRQ 10. Running tcpdump for any length of time also shows that 0 packets were received by the filter. Anyone have any ideas as to what could be the problem?

How do I add a third ATA controller to 4.8?
Greetings again. I have a Dell 600SC that has three ATA controllers on the motherboard, and I'm running 4.8 quite happily on it. The GENERIC kernel has the following: device ata0at isa? port IO_WD1 irq 14 device ata1at isa? port IO_WD2 irq 15 Since I didn't know the irq used by the third controller (it's not listed in their documentation, of course!), I blithely tried adding: device ata2at isa? port IO_WD3 However, when rebuilding this kernel, I get the following error: cc -c -O -pipe -Wall -Wredundant-decls -Wnested-externs -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wcast-qual -fformat-extensions -ansi -nostdinc -I- -I. -I../.. -I../../../include -I../../contrib/ipfilter -D_KERNEL -include opt_global.h -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 ioconf.c ioconf.c:48: `IO_WD3' undeclared here (not in a function) ioconf.c:48: initializer element is not constant ioconf.c:48: (near initialization for `ata2_resources[1].u.longval') *** Error code 1 So, what am I supposed to add to the kernel to add this third controller? --Paul Hoffman ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is exactly what's supposed to happen when you compile it with half duplex mode enabled. You should recompile it without defining HALF_DUPLEX (which should be the default) if you want this behaviour to stop. One other thing that seems odd is that sound from the mike comes through the speakers even when sfmike is paused. If this is sound from your locally connected mic, then this is probably a mixer 'input source' issue more than anything else. Try playing with the 'rec' and 'mic' input level and see if it makes any difference.

Actually this problem affects even mail input using the mail command or any other method. Although the cron/periodic is what I require the most.

Presently I am loosely tracking current...usually up to a month behind with a 1 week run on a test box.

But since I can't find much documentation on these other than what I can make from the rc.sendmail I might still just be using the wrong rc.conf the wrong way. It seems to me that sendmail is completely ignoring the /etc/mail/aliases file Even when I try to send mail to kib (a real user) or the virtualuser the mail always tries to go to [EMAIL PROTECTED] eventually bounces and gets attached to a message to the postmaster. I suppose the aliases are not completely ignored because no mail ever gets to the local user mail accounts. Also note that the kibserv.org is an old domain no longer registered...but we still use it for testing purposes. To prove this is not a dns related issue here is a few digs. Our local dns server has all the correct records. 10:29am butters:/etc/mail # dig kibserv.org mx If the system is sending mail to itself for processing, as most mx's do, you need to have the full host name in the local-host-names file. Otherwise, it doesn't know it's the controlling mx and will reject the mail. -- Actually the only one doing the job properly is the mail host itself which is using qmail/vpopmail. All local root messages get translated properly...sent to local ip address as per the mx record and then available for picking up via pop3/webmail. I am half tempted to drop sendmail on all hosts and see if qmail will forward to the mail host properly. From what I can tell no mail for root or any other local user ever leave that localhostbut the bounce mesages to the postmaster seem to work just fine. Only the mail host shoud accept incoming mail. mail on each individual host is not checked and needs to all go to one pop3 account on the mail host.

On your mail host, you need to add the names of all of the hosts you provide mail service for to the /etc/mail/local-host-names file, one per line. My mail host is qmail/vpopmail.

My local-host-names is actually a mysql table and considering the number of machines involved this is going to be a difficult task to maintain unless I can find a way to use some sort of globing (*.domain.com or such). Although this problem is for the toaster mailing list to assist me on if it comes down to that. This mail host is set to accept all mail for kibserv.org and example.com. Both are test domains. It seems to receive mail just fine when it gets [EMAIL PROTECTED] but not say [EMAIL PROTECTED] Actually I don't even think [EMAIL PROTECTED] ever gets to the mail host...if I dig for mx records on host.domain.com it comes up with no answer and the default for sendmail it to send mail directly (basically to localhost) when no mx is found. So I suppose a work around would be to add an mx record for every host but that doesn't seem like a clean solution to the problem. ;; ANSWER SECTION: kibserv.org. 1H IN MX10 mail.kibserv.org. ;; ANSWER SECTION: mail.kibserv.org. 1H IN CNAME stan.kibserv.org. stan.kibserv.org. 1H IN A 10.0.0.8 Not relevant to your current problem, but you've got your MX pointed to a CNAME.

panic: contigmalloc1 size must be 0 - interim fix
Hi all I am a very stubborn user and refuse to return to windows, even in the face of a kernel panic ;-)~. I posted last week on this problem I havce of the contigmalloc1 error associated with the Ali (Alladin) chipset. Instead of going forward (newer releases) I have had some limited success so far by doing just the opposite. I noticed on the FreeBSD website that the Alladin chipset is supposedly supported till 4.9, however, I have found so far that 4.7 is the latest release to actually support this chipset. (I think, I am cvsupping to 4.8 ATM, I will post if I have success there) The problem seems to lie in the pkg-config file, for an upgraded system anyway as when I try and install gnome2, this is when my system falls apart every time. pkg_add has no effect, thinking the problem was a dependency, I gave this a try and failed in the same fashion. All gnome reliant apps fail it seems. Another major problem I found was that drivers did not work properly, I experimented with a few and after some trials, I found that the vesa driver solved my X probs, sound etc was the same, experiment untill you find one that works (I am certain I have been using the correct dirver as well, it just did not work, whenever I invoked X, I would geta blank screen and the whole computer would become disabled - I did make notes of all my hardware before installing) If you are interested in adding coments, or telling me that I have explained this badly, please cc me as I am not on the list. I will post again when I have FreeBSD up and running relatively bugfree. As I say, this worked for me and there seems to be no post regarding this bug.

Install bug - 4.9 stable - post install circular reboot
I can confirm an issue posted Dec 3rd, freebsd-stable maillist, titled 4.9 install buglet. I experience this bug running the install (various configurations) 100% of the time. After install, after system reboot, the boot loader comes up with F1: FreeBSD, and reboots continually forever. To test, I made 3 installs without issue using 4.8. So first, I'd like to confirm the bug report, and ask the following. In his buglet post, Ian noted the following work around. Work around. Force write in label screen (or rewrite MBR and label post reboot) Looking at fdisk, and the label utility I see nothing option along these lines. Could someone explain to me what/how to do this? Has anyone else seen this apparently prevalent issue? Is a fix likely, or do these kind of things just slip by? I did not expect this from a 'stable' release. Unfortunately, I'm making my second attempt at evaluating FreeBSD (last time I used an active box - and got frustrated with bad ports, MySQL/BSD issues, and needed to get the box online, so I installed something that worked). I'm interested in BSD's lean-ness, and other aspects, as opposed to other nix'es. Needless to say, testing again using 4.9 this time hasn't been very impressive. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
