One to point out the obvious, and two to clarify your view here: why not php? 
Php was the scripting used, but if used poorly will create a security risk in 
the web app. That means that the vulnerability is the coder's problem; not php 
itself. God knows how many references there are to what not to do for security 
reasons on the php site.

Vulnerabilities due to bad coding is not the fault of the language used, 
otherwise we wouldn't be using c, c++, etc.

I ask because I'm coding web apps in php myself, and I'm curious to know if my 
view is in error...
 

I would disagree and argue that vulnerabilities due to bad coding often reflect flaws in 
the language being used.  For example, a vast range of buffer overflows, null pointer 
dereference issues, etc are entirely a consequence of C-based languages which permit 
arbitrary pointer arithmetic.  Tools like valgrind and Purify were later created to help 
add runtime array and memory buffer bounds-checking to C/C++ which other languages (Java, 
Python, etc) already provide by raising an index out of range exception or 
similar.

As for PHP and security, well, when someone ends up getting married to three 
abusive drunks in a row, there is more going on with that then random chance or 
even bad luck.  I've got an archive of a couple of years worth of list traffic from 
full-disclosure  bugt...@securityfocus, and nearly a third of the messages 
involve PHP or software written in PHP.  That's about twice as many as the next 
largest category, which is vulnerabilities in Windows (including stuff like Adobe 
Flash/Reader).

Regards,
   
Thanks for the heads up. What language do you recommend then based on 
these security reports?

My comments/ wish list
 - One text mode (non bitmap graphical) browser:/usr/ports/www/lynx
 

The lynx browser, due to its special key handling, does not
appeal to novice users. NO text mode browser gives a first
sight effect that will convince a user he's installing a
modern OS. Sounds stupid, I know.

As I said, the way the user interacts with the browser does
determine how fast he gets through the installation. Learning
the browser (instead of just pressing the keys shown on the
screen) could make things look worse.

On the other hand, with the ability of X to run without
configuration on recent hardware, what's wrong with running
X with a graphical web browser - if the user DECIDED that
way? Of course, this decision is the FIRST step in the install
process:

Install method
--
T -  traditional text mode installer (sysinstall)
(this one does not have all the options)
W -  web-based installer in text mode
(typical for professional users)
G -  web-based installer in graphics mode
(typical for novice users)
R -  remote installation
(just starts the server)
S -  shell
(dialog shell access to live system)

Enter choice: _

Just a simple idea.



   

I like that approach- works for me anyway...

 - Still too complex for blind/ partially sighted people with special I/O
   phsical devs, I guess.
 

Very true. The ability of FreeBSD to be a barrier-free (!!!)
OS always made it a first class product. It would be sad if
it would lose this ability in the future, just to cater the
expected first sight effect newbies. :-)

   
Accessibility should be foremost at this level and above. The legalities 
themselves are becoming hairy these days, and considering the point that 
we are trying to push accessibility in terms of applications (such as 
issues with flash, to name one) using physical accessibility as a 
parallel argument we should be setting an example as well.


That said, there is no reason why can't make it look as pretty as we can 
without compromising this principle :)

Greetings!

a) Good question. Just tested - without a doubt, yes it works perfectly
without SSL. But we need SSL though.

b) No, because as far as I know, it doesn't allow the kind of virtual setup
vsftpd does.

The FreeBSD version is 8.2-PRERELEASE.

Out of curiosity - which version of freebsd is that?

Good.   Try the latest RELEASE version.
Then, don't give up if you have a problem.
Study and find out what problem is happening and then attack it.
Probably the only real problem you might have with the older machine

Re: Page faults and threads

2010-12-08 Thread Alejandro Imass

On Wed, Dec 8, 2010 at 2:08 AM, Mark Terribile materrib...@yahoo.com wrote:

 Hi,

 Can anyone tell me: when a thread hits a page fault in a multithread program 
 on FreeBSD, is the entire program stopped waiting for the page to be 
 loaded/made ready or just the one thread?

 Has this changed in recent versions with the changes to the scheduler?

 And, if you know, do other Open-Source OS's do the same thing, or are they 
 all different?


By no means an expert but i think your question is way too broad for a
single answer so IMHO it depends on many things like FBSD version,
type of threading you are using and how. A short summary to best of my
knowledge is that the threading models in FBSD have changed broadly
and continuously since FBSD 5 so it really depends...

In general I would think that if the model/lib you are using is 1:1
(default from FBSD 7, I think) then a page fault should halt a single
thread and no other threads should be affected if no mem is shared
between them, although since threads may(usually?) share memory in
most popular models (1:1, N:1, N:M) the fault should block all threads
that share that memory space. In any case the issue of page faults and
blocking is more related to the VM than to the scheduler, again to the
best of my knowledge, and there should be a bunch of sysctls to
fine-tune / tweak the behavior.

The topic is quite interesting to me, sadly don't know enough about
the matter (though I use mod_perl/mod_worker a lot on FBSD so I know
just enough to get by) and it would be great if some experts jump in
and shed some light on the current threading implementations on the 7,
8 and 9 releases. Furthermore, (knowingly a bit OT to the OP) and if
some Perl on FBSD experts on this list (merlyn?) would also give their
.02 on Perl threading options/details on FBSD 7,8,9 would be even
better ;-)

[...]

Copying the list for this comment...

Well I can tell you this much. A while back I carried out some heavy
load testing on a Catalyst app on mod_perl, mod_worker apache 2 on
FBSD 6.2 and Debian with kernel 2.6.18 both on 64 bits same exact
hardware:

FreeBSD 6.2 Stable
Apache 2.2.3, Server MPM: Worker
mod_perl 2.0.4
Perl v5.8.8 built for amd64-freebsd-thread-multi
Catalyst 5.7014
mysql  Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.45, for portbld-freebsd6.2 (amd64) using  5.2

Debian 4.0 (Etch) Stable
Apache 2.2.3, Server MPM: Worker
mod_perl 2.0.4
Perl v5.8.8 built for amd64-debian-thread-multi
Catalyst 5.7014
mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.45, for Debian (amd64) using 5.2


I can't disclose the official results, but the bottom line was that
Linux was generally somewhat faster (61 vs. 72 ms per request on
average) but it's over-optimistic memory broke the OS completely when
maxing out and consuming the swap, and we concluded that the VM in
that version of Linux was particularly broke for our application.
Coincidentally you could observe a dramatic difference in the Virtual
and Resident size of each Apache process when in peak load:

Linux 2.6.18 : 710/130
FreeBSD 6.2: 185/132

(it also proved in both cases that threaded mod_perl (an esoteric mix
in the eyes of many an expert) saved tons of RAM and was generally
very stable ;-))

Anyway what really caught our attention in these tests is that when
the extreme load was removed, FBSD recovered almost immediately like
nothing had happened and we had to reboot Linux almost every time,
cause it remained very unstable afterwards. We did manage to play with
Linux's vm settings especially the over-committal stuff to somewhat
behave like FBSD,  but vanilla FBSD was always more stable in every
test. This told us that the FBSD folks must be doing something right
in the standard thread / vm management in FBSD and we switched to it
since for our heavy-weight Web deployments.



 I'd like to know if things how things are now on FreeBSD.


Hopefully this thread will catch the eye of some FBSD threading experts !

Well, I've been implementing online stores and content-management/publishing

towards those.  If I were starting over from scratch today, Ruby or Python 
would probably enter into the picture for consideration.  (Of course, Python 
threading runs into the GIL issue limiting true concurrency, and the only Ruby 
implementation around which does better is JRuby, which is Ruby implemented on

You don't magically get immunity from SQL injection by using JDBC or EOF or

will mitigate one of the more common security problems.

mountroot prompt in the middle of updating - can't get past it

2010-12-08 Thread Kurt Buff

All,

I have a Lenovo T61 with a 100g HD that I dual boot with FreeBSD
8.0-STABLE amd64 and Windows XP.

FBSD is on ad0s2a, with ad0s2b as swap, and XP on ad0s1a.

Yesterday I booted up FBSD, started xfce4, started a terminal session,
su'ed to root and did the following - running a generic kernel:

# cd /usr/src
# make buildworld
# make buildkernel
# make installkernel

Then I exited xfce4, did sudo shutdown -r now, and got a mountroot
prompt that I now can't get past.

I can get to the loader prompt, and lsdev shows the following:

   cd devices:
   disk devices:
 disk0: BIOS drive C:
disk0s1: NTFS/HPFS
disk0s2a:  FFS
disk02sb:  swap

when I use '?' at the mountroot prompt I get:

   List of GEOM managed disk devices:
  acd0
   Loader variables:
   vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ad0s2a
   vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw


I've tried entering the following at the mountroot prompt, with no success:
   ufs:/dev/ad0s2a
   ufs:/ad0s2a
   ufs:ad0s2a
   ffs:/dev/ad0s2a

and several other variations that I've found while googling, but no
success anywhere.

Does anyone have thoughts on how to remedy this?

Thanks,

Kurt

Terrible Clock Skew

2010-12-08 Thread Dave Cundiff

Hi everyone,

I posted this to the forum as well but figured I'd try here since the
same people might not subscribe to both.

I've been experiencing some terrible clock skew and just can't figure
it out. By terrible I mean I'm losing 30 minutes a day. The loss only
occurs when I bring the system under heavy load. The load is multiple
Rsync backups to a ZFS pool(with gzip compression) backed by a 16 disk
Raid50. I'm using a hardware Raid controller for battery backed write
caching.

Mobo: Supermicro X8DTL
CPU: Dual Intel 5620 quad cores
Raid: Areca 1620

I have ntp enabled but the skew happens to fast and it stops trying.
I've tried a bunch of stuff from the various lists. I tried all my
clock sources. TSC(-100) HPET(900) ACPI-fast(1000) i8254(0). I tried
changing the kern.hz flag lower. I also tried disabling the enhanced
speed step feature of this chip as per the FAQ on the site. Nothing
works.

Currently I'm defaults except the following settings.

EIST Disabled in BIOS
kern.hz=100
kern.timecounter.hardware=i8254

Is there anything else I could do to debug this? I can't really blame
the hardware because I have these same boards/chips running in Linux
with no clock issues.

bad button battery maybe? when the system is under load, it's diverting what

[fbsd_questions] mac and windoze formats

2010-12-08 Thread spellberg_robert


howdy, folks ---

this may be a stupid question,
  but, i figure that it is better to ask than to assume.



premise:

i was looking at a retail site that is offering
  a dvd_archive of every issue of a particular magazine back to its beginning, 
many decades ago
  [ these have become popular, lately ].
usually, i put these things on my windoze_box, until it was no longer new 
enough.
then, i looked for linux [ aka, elf ] compatability, which also works.

well, it has finally happened.
something i want is only available for windoze and os_x.



research:

now, freebsd handles all sorts of elf; but,
  mac is not elf, it is derived from mach [ a long_unused word from my youth ].

so, this question is about emulation.
i found the section in the faq and in the handbook on elf, but,
  there is no mention of mac, osx, mach or anything else that is not elf, not 
even wine.
i found a recent _questions post that suggested that there is no current 
ability to run a mach-o binary.
because no one challenged this assertion, i take it as true.



  q:where do things stand regarding
  the future ability to run either a windoze or mac binary
  [ as these are the general_public's notion of a computer ] ?

  q:would the present situation be described as closer
  to  real_soon_now ! ,
  to  are you kidding ?  or
  to somewhere between these two endpoints ?



happy everything, to everybody, all of the time,
  even to those who don't celebrate anything, at any time.

If the archive contains this magazine in a common format like PDF, you can view 
such under nearly any platform (including FreeBSD).

 usually, i put these things on my windoze_box, until it was no longer new 
 enough.

ELF is a binary file format.  It's used by Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, and other 
platforms.

 research:

  mac is not elf, it is derived from mach [ a long_unused word from my youth ].

Yes, MacOS X uses the Mach kernel from CMU, also used by NEXTSTEP.  The binary 
file format for the Mac is called MachO.

 so, this question is about emulation.
 i found the section in the faq and in the handbook on elf, but,

It is.

You can use emulation software like VMWare 3 to run a Windows environment under 
FreeBSD; however, that won't let you run MacOS X or Mac programs.

Microsoft and Facebook Team Up to Put the Kibosh on Koobface
Mon, 6 Apr 2009

Microsoft and Facebook are working together to protect users from the
Koobface worm. Koobface spreads through Facebook and MySpace social
networking sites and infects users who run vulnerable versions of
Windows. It steals login information so it can hijack accounts and spam
users' contact lists.

The spam usually contains a link to what is billed as a video, but users
who click the link are told they must download a program to watch the clip.
If users agree to the download, their machines become infected with malware.
Microsoft has added Koobface to its Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT),
which removed nearly 200,000 instances of Koobface from more than 133,000
computers in two weeks.

Another Phishing Attack Targets Facebook Users
Fri, 15 May 2009

Users of the social networking site Facebook have been subjected to another
phishing attack. The attackers gained access to the social networking
site by using legitimate user accounts and then directing the contacts
of the compromised accounts to websites containing malicious software.
The attackers ostensibly gained access to the initial accounts by exploiting
easy-to-guess passwords.

IT Managers Feel Pressured to Relax Security Policies

According to a recent survey of 1,300 IT managers, 86 percent said
they were being pressured by company executives, marketing departments,

web-based platforms such as Google Apps. Nearly half of respondents said
some employees bypass security policies to access services like Twitter
and Facebook. More than half of the respondents noted that they lacked the
means to detect embedded malicious code and prevent URL redirect attacks.

Re: Terrible Clock Skew

Hi, Dave--

 Hi everyone,

I'm not sure which forum you're mentioning here, although it proves you right 
about the conclusion you'd made here.  :-)

 I've been experiencing some terrible clock skew and just can't figure
 it out. By terrible I mean I'm losing 30 minutes a day. The loss only
 occurs when I bring the system under heavy load. The load is multiple
 Rsync backups to a ZFS pool(with gzip compression) backed by a 16 disk
 Raid50. I'm using a hardware Raid controller for battery backed write
 caching.

That kind of slew rate is well past what ntpd can deal with; it suggests 
possibly that you're losing timer interrupts, or maybe that the time of day 
clock on the motherboard is broken or dead.  Output of vmstat -i might be 
informative for the former, for the latter check whether the BIOS can keep the 
clock sane while in the BIOS menu-- there should be a small Li battery on the 
motherboard which might be replaceable.

You might also double-check that you've got the latest BIOS version update, but 
that's less likely to help.

For a workaround, you can fire off ntpdate -b from cron every 5 minutes or 
similar to keep the clock from drifting too far.

dhclient doesn't work over wireless

2010-12-08 Thread Michael


Hello,

My FreeBSD laptop is unable to get IP address over DHCP but the same 
network works fine on Windows, Ubuntu and Android so I believe the 
problem lies in my FreeBSD configuration and not on the router/access 
point. Problem occurs only for wireless interface.


FreeBSD 8.1 amd64 with Atheros interface. Wireless networking was 
working fine on that system (the same config files) until I had to 
replace my wireless router.


My rc.conf file:
  wlans_ath0=wlan0
  ifconfig_wlan0=WPA SYNCDHCP

I'm using standard dhclient.conf file.

My wpa_supplicant.conf file:
  network={
  ssid=wifi
  scan_ssid=1
  bssid=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
  priority=9
  mode=0
  proto=RSN
  key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
  auth_alg=OPEN
  pairwise=CCMP
  group=CCMP
  psk=x
}

Now after reboot I'm geting wlan0 connection (status associated):
wlan0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST metric 0 mtu 1500
  ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
  inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 255.255.255.255
  media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet DS/11Mbps mode 11g
  status: associated
  ssid wifi channel 9 (2452 MHz 11g) bssid d8:5d:4c:ea:cb:ee
  regdomain 103 indoor ecm authmode WPA2/802.11i privacy ON

  bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi 7 roam:rate 5
  protmode CTS wme burst roaming MANUAL

But for some reason it doesn't get the IP address!
And whrn I manually try to: dhclient wlan0
  DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7
  DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 11
  DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 16
  DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 21
  DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5
  No DHCPOFFERS received.
  No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.

Again, other systems doesn't seem to have any trouble with getting IP 
from this DHCP server and wired interface (em0) works fine too.


Any ideas please?

Its totally possble to chroot the sftp, and I have done it several times.
Something like the below will isolate each user

If the archive contains this magazine in a common format like PDF, you can view

ELF is a binary file format.  It's used by Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, and other

research:

now, freebsd handles all sorts of elf; but,
mac is not elf, it is derived from mach [ a long_unused word from my youth ].



Yes, MacOS X uses the Mach kernel from CMU, also used by NEXTSTEP.  The binary 
file format for the Mac is called MachO.



so, this question is about emulation.
i found the section in the faq and in the handbook on elf, but,
there is no mention of mac, osx, mach or anything else that is not elf, not 
even wine.
i found a recent _questions post that suggested that there is no current 
ability to run a mach-o binary.  because no one challenged this assertion, i 
take it as true.



It is.

You can use emulation software like VMWare 3 to run a Windows environment under 
FreeBSD; however, that won't let you run MacOS X or Mac programs.

Yeah mine was also pretty cheap, but thats why I bought it! I wiped the Xandros 
distro off of it immediately and put Ubuntu netbook remix on it at first. Then 
moved on to Freebsd.  I've had FreeBSD on this machine for almost a year now. 
Everything works well. The only problem I ran into was disk space as it only 
has a  4gb ssd. I got around this by using a 8 gb sd card for my /usr 
partition. From what I've read online there is also an additional usb slot on 
the actual mother board, so you can use a micro usb key for storage there as 
well.  Although, I haven't checked so I'm not 100% positive on that. I'm 
currently running 8.1-RELEASE with fluxbox, linux-opera(flash), and about 400 
other packages. Wireless works great, I don't install from ports unless I 
absolutely have to because it just takes so damn long to compile anything on 
here. Anyways you're wanting to install ktts on your

case you will get a 10.0.0.x IP address.

 Thank you so much, you do me a great favor!! Hope this also works for Chris!
 
 In most cases it is better to use bridge mode. In NAT mode your VM get a
 private subnet and other devices in your network can't find your VM,
 because the VM is behind (or encapsulated in) your HOST (as like as your
 HOST is behind your router to the internet). This can work if you define
 routes, but bridging is mostly easier.
 
 In Bridge mode your VM acts like any other machine in your network and
 will get an IP-Adress from your DHCP server (if you use DHCP).

Hi,

Could someone tell me how to enable Bridge mode?

I just change the network settings of my virtual machine, change it to bridged 
mode. I also select the eth0, which is the physical interface of my system. 
Then in my virtual machine, I add one line:
ifconfig_em0=DHCP in /etc/rc.conf file.
I have changed each of the five virtual interfaces Intel and ..., but I could 
not get network access. 

If I use NAT mode, one of these five interfaces works fine. But now I do need 
the Bridged mode because one of my machine would be a server in my experiment.

Hope to hear from you. Thanks in advance.

Best,

ifconfig_em0=DHCP would only work for the intel adapters, not amd ones.

 You do have a DHCP server correct?  What happens when you do dhclient
em0?  Does bridged networking work with a different guest OS as maybe it's
some problem with your host.

Weihang,

Basically what you want to do is select bridging in your vBox settings for
your VM. Then select your real system's ethernet adapter, expand the little
drop down below that and it will allow you to choose which vNIC you want. I
choose the Intel 82545EM device which gives me an em0 vNIC. in my FreeBSD VM
I have the following three lines pertaining to setting up my network

sshd_enable=YES
ifconfig_em0=inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 255.255.255.0
defaultrouter=192.168.0.1
hostname=freebsd-bsd.xaerolimit.net

and of course, that hostname does resolve on my lan, but that's not what
this e-mail is about. Hope this helps.

  My comments/ wish list
   - One text mode (non bitmap graphical) browser:   
  /usr/ports/www/lynx
   
  The lynx browser, due to its special key handling, does not
  appeal to novice users. NO text mode browser gives a first
  sight effect that will convince a user he's installing a
  modern OS. Sounds stupid, I know.
 
  As I said, the way the user interacts with the browser does
  determine how fast he gets through the installation. Learning
  the browser (instead of just pressing the keys shown on the
  screen) could make things look worse.
 
  On the other hand, with the ability of X to run without
  configuration on recent hardware, what's wrong with running
  X with a graphical web browser - if the user DECIDED that
  way? Of course, this decision is the FIRST step in the install
  process:
 
  Install method
  --
  T -  traditional text mode installer (sysinstall)
  (this one does not have all the options)
  W -  web-based installer in text mode
  (typical for professional users)
  G -  web-based installer in graphics mode
  (typical for novice users)
  R -  remote installation
  (just starts the server)
  S -  shell
  (dialog shell access to live system)
 
  Enter choice: _
 
  Just a simple idea.
 
 
 
 
 I like that approach- works for me anyway...

Let me add that it would be good to default do an action
after a certain time (e. g. 60 seconds). This default should
be the preparation for remote installation as this is the
obvious choice when no interaction is done - because it
maybe is not possible (like for headless servers). So
you put in the installation media (CD or USB stick), wait
a minute, and then remotely access the installer.



 Accessibility should be foremost at this level and above.

I would also like to see it that way; sadly, market share
oriented development doesn't share this thought. You can
make money on all the healthy users, there's plenty of
them. Users with disabilites are uninteresting, from a
marketing point of view. Users in niche markets are
uninteresting, too.



 The legalities 
 themselves are becoming hairy these days, and considering the point that 
 we are trying to push accessibility in terms of applications (such as 
 issues with flash, to name one) using physical accessibility as a 
 parallel argument we should be setting an example as well.

Accessibility on the web is just one point. Operating systems,
the backbones of all the dancing bunnies, should be a good
example of how to make information accessible to the widest
amount of people. This includes the idea of NOT cutting out
those who do not have the ability to access a graphical
installer: Not because they don't want to use it, but because
they don't have the means to access it.



 That said, there is no reason why can't make it look as pretty as we can 
 without compromising this principle :)

GUI installer, remote access and not rising barriers does not
contradict. If done properly, it can benefit both the professional
users AND those who judge at first sight.

Disk encryption on a headless box?

2010-12-08 Thread Andre Goree

I was looking at encrypting my data on a headless server I have, and found a
good tutorial using ZFS+geli.  Easy enough to setup, but one thing I just
realized is that I wouldn't be able to enter the passphrase on the server
since I keep it headless.

I wonder if there is some type of encryption I can use that does not require
entering a passphrase.  For example, perhaps I can set it up in a way that
it'll automatically read from certain files on a thumb drive?

 Hi everyone,

 I posted this to the forum as well but figured I'd try here since the
 same people might not subscribe to both.

 I've been experiencing some terrible clock skew and just can't figure
 it out. By terrible I mean I'm losing 30 minutes a day. The loss only
 occurs when I bring the system under heavy load. The load is multiple
 Rsync backups to a ZFS pool(with gzip compression) backed by a 16 disk
 Raid50. I'm using a hardware Raid controller for battery backed write
 caching.

 Mobo: Supermicro X8DTL
 CPU: Dual Intel 5620 quad cores
 Raid: Areca 1620

 I have ntp enabled but the skew happens to fast and it stops trying.
 I've tried a bunch of stuff from the various lists. I tried all my
 clock sources. TSC(-100) HPET(900) ACPI-fast(1000) i8254(0). I tried
 changing the kern.hz flag lower. I also tried disabling the enhanced
 speed step feature of this chip as per the FAQ on the site. Nothing
 works.

 Currently I'm defaults except the following settings.

 EIST Disabled in BIOS
 kern.hz=100
 kern.timecounter.hardware=i8254

 Is there anything else I could do to debug this? I can't really blame
 the hardware because I have these same boards/chips running in Linux
 with no clock issues.

In the man page for ntpd, you might look into The huff-n'-puff
Filter. Not saying it will help, but it seems like you've tried
everything else.

GELI has both man pages and handbook entries.  Those should typically be

Re: mountroot prompt in the middle of updating - can't get past it

 All,

 I have a Lenovo T61 with a 100g HD that I dual boot with FreeBSD

 FBSD is on ad0s2a, with ad0s2b as swap, and XP on ad0s1a.

 Yesterday I booted up FBSD, started xfce4, started a terminal session,
 su'ed to root and did the following - running a generic kernel:

 # cd /usr/src
 # make buildworld
 # make buildkernel
 # make installkernel

 Then I exited xfce4, did sudo shutdown -r now, and got a mountroot
 prompt that I now can't get past.

 I can get to the loader prompt, and lsdev shows the following:

cd devices:
disk devices:
  disk0: BIOS drive C:
 disk0s1: NTFS/HPFS
 disk0s2a:  FFS
 disk02sb:  swap

 when I use '?' at the mountroot prompt I get:

List of GEOM managed disk devices:
   acd0
Loader variables:
vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ad0s2a
vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw


 I've tried entering the following at the mountroot prompt, with no success:
ufs:/dev/ad0s2a
ufs:/ad0s2a
ufs:ad0s2a
ffs:/dev/ad0s2a

 and several other variations that I've found while googling, but no
 success anywhere.

 Does anyone have thoughts on how to remedy this?

Just for the last question:
Try to load an old kernel. (Type boot /boot/kernel.old at loader
prompt.)
