ZFS root BTX Loader very slow
I've installed root on ZFS according to the Wiki. http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/Mirror I rebuilt world yesterday and upgraded my zfs pool to version 14 and also upgraded the bootcode with: gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ad4 gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ad8 Now on boot the system waits for about 70 seconds at the following screen: BTX Loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.02 Consoles: internal video/keyboard BIOS drive A: is disk0 BIOS drive C: is disk1 BIOS drive D: is disk2 BIOS drive E: is disk3 BIOS drive F: is disk4 BIOS drive G: is disk5 _ No errors appear and eventually the system boots normally from the zfs root. Any ideas why it's taking so long at this stage? what is actually going on at this point?

Rebuilding boot loader under 7.0-STABLE
Hi I've got 7.0-STABLE installed on an embedded Soekris 5501 box and I'm trying to rebuild the boot loader to not use terminal emulation so I can read the boot messages and menu, as per: https://neon1.net/misc/minibsd.html#t3 # cd /sys/boot # make clean make Gives the following error: make: don't know how to make /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/gptboot/../btx/lib/ crt0.o. Stop *** Error code 2 Stop in /usr/src/sys/boot/i386. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/sys/boot. The sources are recently csup'd, I'd appreciate some help.

External USB drive - primary GPT table is corrupt or invalid
I've created a single slice and partition on an external USB drive using sysinstall which gives the following devices: /dev/da0 /dev/da0s1 /dev/da0s1c /dev/da0s1d I can mount da0s1d and read+write data just fine but I get the messages below when I initially attach the drive; can someone explain what the primary GPT table is corrupt or invalid means and if it's something I should be concerned about. umass0: JMicron JM20336 SATA, USB Combo, class 0/0, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 4 on uhub4 da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: WDC WD32 WD-WCARW278 58.0 Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: 40.000MB/s transfers da0: 305245MB (625142448 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 38913C) GEOM: da0: the primary GPT table is corrupt or invalid.

Boot menu and USB keyboard
I've got a USB keyboard and I'm unable to select any of the options in the boot loader/beastie menu - escape to the loader prompt, single- user mode etc.. It is the only keyboard attached and it works fine once the system is up. I've done a bit of Googling and tried setting hint.atkbd.0.flags=0x1 in loader.conf but it doesn't make any difference. I'd appreciate some suggestions.

It is the only keyboard attached and it works fine once the system is up. What version of the OS? I used to have this problem, but it disappeared ... sometime between 6.0 and 7.0, I think. And I'm pretty sure this was discussed on the mailing lists - try searching under Huff USB keyboard. Robert Huff I'm running 7.0-STABLE and legacy USB support is enabled in the BIOS, motherboard is ASUS A8V. I did search but all the stuff I found is a few years old, so should the boot menu definitely support usb keyboard? -Gianni ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
unknown PPP protocol - fragmentation problems
Hi I've just changed ISP and I am having some issues with PPP and large packets. I've got a Draytek Vigor 100 ethernet modem which proxies PPPoA - PPPoE so I can initiate the PPPoE connection to my ISP from my FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE box. This worked perfectly with my previous ISP but now any packets larger than 1500 bytes and thus requiring fragmentation which arrive in do not make it to the tun0 ppp interface. For example here I initiate a large ping from outside my network to the machine on which my ppp client is running - # ping -s 1500 -c 1 88.129.153.191 This is what arrives on the physical vr1 interface on which pppoe is running 002774 00:50:7f:8c:f2:08 00:00:24:c9:57:39, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864), length 1018: PPPoE [len 1502 998!] [ses 0x3ec] unknown (0x2021), length 998: unknown PPP protocol (0x2021) 0x: 4500 eb13 4357 2000 3301 0334 5775 d0c5 0x0010: 5895 9ac6 0800 6190 ffe8 47fc a40e 0x0020: efd9 0809 0a0b 0c0d 0e0f 1011 1213 0x0030: 1415 1617 1819 1a1b 1c1d 1e1f 2021 2223 0x0040: 2425 2627 2829 2a2b 2c2d 40 00:50:7f:8c:f2:08 00:00:24:c9:57:39, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864), length 538: [ver 4] [type 5]PPPoE [len 1502 518!] [ses 0x20c] unknown (0x009e), length 518: unknown PPP protocol (0x009e) 0x: 4500 d3ea 4357 2000 3301 0334 c8c9 cacb 0x0010: cccd cecf d0d1 d2d3 d4d5 d6d7 d8d9 dadb 0x0020: dcdd dedf e0e1 e2e3 e4e5 e6e7 e8e9 eaeb 0x0030: eced eeef f0f1 f2f3 f4f5 f6f7 f8f9 fafb 0x0040: fcfd feff 0001 0203 0405 11 00:50:7f:8c:f2:08 00:00:24:c9:57:39, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864), length 70: PPPoE [ses 0x6] IP (0x0021), length 50: (tos 0x0, ttl 51, id 17239, offset 1480, flags [none], proto ICMP (1), length 48) 87.119.223.147 88.129.153.191: icmp This is all that arrives on the tun0 ppp interface 15. 242441 AF IPv4 (2), length 52: (tos 0x0, ttl 51, id 18322, offset 1480, flags [none], proto ICMP (1), length 48) 87.119.223.147 88.129.153.191: icmp If anyone can decipher this and give me an idea of what's going wrong I'd be most grateful.

Re: Since SquirrelMail Looks Like It Will Never Be Supported Again...

So I am going to have to replace it as our Webmail interface. So, I'm looking for recommendation from the tribe here on what I should use instead: 1) Easy to use. Mostly this gets used by people when they are away from the office and then only occasionally. 2) It would be really nice if the program could import the Thunderbird Address Book. 3) Easy to install and maintain. Roundcube mail [1] should fit 1 and 2. For 3 i remember it could not do that directly (you had to convert the exported thunderbird contacts file into vcards), but maybe something changed since the last time i've installed/used it.
