best way to make dvd appear to me a .iso file to the FS
bhyveload(8) only let's you use .ISO's for install media and I want to make it so I can just insert a DVD (/dev/cd0) and bhyve can read it as if it was a just a normal file and not a device... short of copying it to the hard drive is there any other solution anyone can think of? ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: best way to make dvd appear to me a .iso file to the FS
That solution works only for a FreeBSD install disk. I am looking for a more general solution, for an install CD/DVD for any x86-compatible OS. (Currently bhyve cannot handle other OS's besides FreeBSD, but they are planning to add support for other OS's.) (I am one of the developers of PetiteCloud, a forthcoming front end for bhyve. See the virtualization list for details.)

Re: using FreeBSD to create a completely new OS
Note that this pretty much makes java pretty much worthless. I say that carefully as the seemingly good thing that makes the extra effort in java worth it is the guarantee against the halting problem that makes the security madness possible. If your vm is i386, you can't offer that guarantee. The JVM is very specially crafted for this purpose. On the halting problem unless my basic theory of computation is very out of date it is not possible for any turing complete machine to guerntee against the halting problem btw I think the AI crowd would love to hear that Java is a oracle (pun intended) which is likely more then any human can do (as far I know the current thinking is humans are somewhere between UTM's and oracles) ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I only have one *REAL* machine to Well... most would say that the interesting part of an OS has very little to do with the loader, but who am I to judge: maybe a loader is interesting for you. There are quite a few things that can be loaded and useful from an MBR. Pretty much any machine will provide you with a boot environment that has lived longer than any other. It's pretty much DOS without a filesystem, tho. In freebsd, you want to look at /boot/mbr and maybe (later) /boot/loader (or one of it's variants). I was asking how to extract it from the virtual HDD made by vbox work with which means I need to work with something like emulators/virtualbox-ose... I also want to do as many automated tests as possible (for example seeing if the installer copied the MBR [and later other stuff] correctly to the virtual HDD) for this reason I have a few questions on vb (or perhaps QEMU if not possible in vb): 1. Can it be scripted? 2. Is there any documentation on the various virtual HDD formats and such (that way I can check the physical drive and not by indirect query)? The format of an MBR (master boot record) is documented everywhere. I'm pretty sure wikipedia has a good article on it. This mailing list is not google, BTW. I know (about the list not being google) and have seen the formats for MBR's (even wrote a few by hand) the question was how to extract it from the virtual HDD (see above) namely is I have a prototype MBR that should be made I want to check if it was actually written to the virtual HDD correctly Also can people give me some idea of a good general development/testing framework the one I have in mind so far is: 1. Write enough of the OS in FreeBSD to boot and give a command prompt and then develop using it (assume that there is a working compilor [note I am doing it completely in Java (note 1) and will be using either gjava (gcc) or writing my own compiler]) Notes: 1. Due to OS's needing to address physical RAM directly (DMA mapped I/O) I will be introducing some form of ptr's into java with the compiler or native My first thought was the humor of getting java to deal with segment registers. It's hard enough in C. But in all seriousness, most systems go from the firmware to something like a bootblock (often called a stage one boot) to a smarter bootloader (stage two boot) to activating the OS. In a PC-ish world for FreeBSD, that's BIOS-/boot/mbr-/boot/loader-kernel. Specifically locore.s (note: assembly language file). locore.s is one of a few regions of kernels that are generally _not_ written in high level languages. Other's include the very lowest level of the scheduler and the virtual memory manager. In locore's case, you can't express the special instructions (for a PC) to exit real mode and enter virtual mode (or some such transformation --- I really haven't been there in awhile). Note that FreeBSD boots on a number of things and that each boot process is a little bit different. The idea is not replicate *ANY* existing OS but write a completely new one (completely new architecture for an OS even). For that reason starting with the MBR is the right thing to do for reasons that would take several pages to explain. From my initial research there is almost nothing that depends on actual ASM except for a very small number of things that create the environment needed to run the equiv of the JVM (no garbage collection at this level) natively on an x86. My guess the total amount of ASM needed is less then a thousand instructions (99% are macro's mostly for performance reasons). The other 1% is just to get the protected mode and the native JVM loaded and started. Note when I say JVM I actually mean a collection of VM's that model real HW (not some abstract HW like the sun JVM does) and if the VM just happens to be identical to the native HW then it skips the emulation part of the VM (i.e. direct execution on the actual HW). The first such VM I am planning is x86 (64-bit). Namely if your running on a PC then it runs natively but on anything else it runs on a VM identical to a PC. If you're going to write an OS from scratch, you might start with something _way_ simpler than FreeBSD. Minix would be a good choice. I think it still comes as a book you buy with bootable code. If you haven't done OS work before, the book part might get you going faster than diving into the FreeBSD codebase. I have done some trivial OS stuff before like getting to the point where I can type the equiv of ls and cd on a trivial virtual FS

This is perhaps not the solution you are looking for, but many modern TV

computers has HDMI output. DVI is also compatible with HDMI, at least to an
extent. Perhaps you can find a monitor and use it as a dual-purpose monitor
instead?

I think hes maybe looking for a tv tuner card to plug into his
computer so he can watch TV on the PC also...
Haupauge makes a few and are compatible with FreeBSD. See Setting Up TV Cards
and a good list is freebsd-multimedia
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/tvcard.html
That handbook chapter only mentions analog bktr(4) tuner cards so
it's a bit outdated. Nowadays you can also use cx88-based analog
and dvb-t/atsc(?) pci(e) tuner cards driven by the multimedia/cx88
port, as well as a greater variety of usb tuners supported by
multimedia/webcamd which runs the Linux v4l/dvb driver code in
FreeBSD userland. See
http://wiki.freebsd.org/WebcamCompat
for some tuners people have reported as working. Another usb
atsc tuner that has good chances of working is this one:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-950Q
(at least it seems pretty popular on Linux.)
And about tv apps that you can control using a remote (usually via
comms/lirc), the most popular ones are multimedia/mythtv and
multimedia/vdr, see these pages:
http://wiki.freebsd.org/HTPC
http://wiki.freebsd.org/MythTV
and
http://wiki.freebsd.org/VDR
as well as multimedia/xbmc-pvr that you can use with vdr as backend
as also described in the above vdr wiki page.

NOTE: This hardware must be currently fairly mass market 2. What ports to install (right now my desktop is x11-wm/xfce4) make this happen 3.

diagonising a overheating problem
I have a HP Pavilion g7-1365dx laptop that is constantly freezing up (doesn't respond to any key/mouse actions except the power switch) at random times the most reasonable explination I can think of is overheating and thus I have gotten one of those laptop mats that has a fan in it but to no avail (makes it less likely but now that stuff is heating up in late spring [I have no AC]) it is happening again... I use the machine for totally routine desktop stuff (surfing the web, watching flash movies and some lite java development) my guess is that for some reason the FreeBSD CPU/bus speed controls and such are not working based on the following item I found in my dmesg's: acpi_tz0: _CRT value is absurd, ignored (-273.2C) I have no other clues so far ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

best way to get distfiles added to ports.tgz during make release
I have made a custom install USB drive from R/cdrom/dvd1 and pkg_add works
fine for everything but xorg/nvidia-driver so part of the post install
script I made is portmaster xorg/nvidia-driver the only problem is it then
needs to fetch the distfiles (the target install machine{s) will not have
nic's attached)... so my questoin is whats the best way to make it so when
sysinstall unpacks ./8.2-NHK_KIOSK/ports/ports.tgz that the distfiles are
also unpacked?

speech reconition
After seeing one to many ads for Dragon I have decided to see what can done on my main (and only) machine which runs FB exclusively please note I have a speech impairment but when I tried a very early version of Dragon in I think 1989 or 1990 it got 90% of what I said with no training (and my speech has improved since then and I am sure it has also)... I will be using this mostly for command line input (tcsh) but the main purpose of that is to be a java developer who hates IDE's additionally I will be using it for OpenOffice and perhaps browser address bar and forms (I will move the mouse thank you ;-))... I see three possible routes which is best: 1. Use something from ports (it is ok if I have to write a few glue scripts) 2. Use wine but I have never gotten anything to work correctly on it 3. Install virtual box and then install windows 7 and hope that the sound card mic works with it and buy Dragon and then use PuTTY to get to the command line of the host OS My preference is in the same order if possible ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

A /dev/cuaU0 will then be created which you can use to transfer data. FWIW, I successfully used adb from freebsd port of android SDK to connect to Samsung Galaxy S.

Re: How to disallow logout
Firstly this just sounds like a case where the admin needs to provide a equally sound and safe way of making sure everything is cleaned up on logout and is offering a global way of doing it so the developer will not forget. In this case the admin and developer are the same person... namely at the clients request I am the only person allowed to work on the project and I just want to make it so I can't accidently do something like control-d or something like that and leave a plain text version of a project that has a very strict NDA laying around (liquidated damages of $250k)... the scenrio is we a are a team (each one of us is in diff city) of freelance CS people and all use the same server for all our development to make cooperation possible when needed (not in this case) have centralized backups, etc. and as mentioned on this one project the client has forced me to sign a NDA saying I can't even show the code to the other team members without the client's permission and thus am storing the repo using security/fuse-encfs, but since the version control system (devel/aegis) requires creating a development directory that is not encrypted I want to force/remind myself to checkin what ever I was working into the encrypted repo when I go home (it is a home office ;-)) at night or out to lunch ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

If things have been checked in correctly, it logs you out, otherwise it prints a message and terminates, throwing you back to the shell prompt. Additionally, you could put the checked-out files on a geli-encrypted device and/or on a memory file system.

Ideally there should be _some_ mechanism for committing unfinished work to a (probably encrypted) repository on, at least, a daily basis. The more I see of this thread, the more it seems that the problem is largely the fault of the particular VCS being used. A VCS that demands a review step before anything can be checked in, even on a work in progress branch as opposed to the mainline, seems a poor fit for a project in which developers are not permitted to see one anothers code. ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: How to disallow logout
The problem with that is our version control system (devel/aegis) purposely does not allow arbitary checkins... there is a whole procedure of you have to prove it compiles and passes at least one new test and then an other person needs to review the change and then and only then can it be checked in (and even here you need to repeat the proof of build and one new test [same as the ones above] to ensure that passing the test was not a fluke of your local environment)... this project is setup so I play all 3 roles on it but all three phases have to be formally done to check it in... btw the whole goal here (unlike non-atomic VCS's like SVN [git does it to some extent] the goal here is to make sure that nothing breaks the baseline [the fully tested and reviewed repo]).

(minor but unimportant side effect of the version control system is the dir will have a different name everytime it is made but always the same prefix) This is probably a silly suggestion, but as I see it there is another option: a periodic script which goes and commits the files if the sessions go away (via crontab, or whatever). In particular, this would solve the problem if one of the sessions you had quit, but you had more than one session open to the machine. Of course if you didn't care about the contents of the files you could take a different approach and employ something similar in .login, but it doesn't sound like that's what you want to do either, and that wouldn't solve the multi-session problem...
