Re: will freebsd run on a mac osx 10.8.4
Maybe! Do you mean as a virtual machine, or *instead of* OS X? If you mean as a virtual machine, almost certainly. If you mean instead of OS X, please provide some details about the computer hardware itself. Even When did you buy it? iMac, Mac Pro, MacBook? etc will help us answer your question.

Re: will freebsd run on a mac osx 10.8.4
I assume you are running Mac OS X 10.8.4 on Intel CPU. I assume it must be 64-bits, so you would want amd64 version of FreeBSD, though you could also run i386 version. I don't know if you could install FreeBSD on same hard disk with Mac OS X, but you ought to be able to install FreeBSD on a separate disk.

Re: gvim GUI cannot be used
Hi Tomek, I tried this, but I get the same result. The thing is in the make prozess it prints defaulting to: don't HAVE_X11 checking --enable-gui argument... no GUI support checking X11/SM/SMlib.h usability... yes checking X11/SM/SMlib.h presence... yes checking for X11/SM/SMlib.h... yes no GUI selected; xim has been disabled no GUI selected; fontset has been disabled So I think my system is missing some library or configuration.

Possibly OT: NFS vs SMB performance
Hello. Sorry to ask here: maybe it's not the best place, but it might be a start (the client and server are both FreeBSD). The server exports the same directory via NFS and via SMB. I'd expect some performance penalty when using SMB, but: find /nfs_mounted_dir /dev/null takes more or less 1 minute; find /smb_mounted_dir /dev/null takes nearly 10 minutes.

FreeBSD 9.1 won't boot after install
Hi, I bought an HP Pavilion p7-1597c [1] system last week. It is Intel Core i5-3330, with a Seagate 1.5 TB SATA drive and 12 GB of memory, shipped with Windows 8. I have disabled Secure Boot and enabled Legacy device booting. I am able to complete the install of FreeBSD 9.1/amd64 from the CD without any problems. However, when I attempt to boot, it doesn't. Originally I was trying to dual boot with Win 8, but eventually I rendered Win8 unbootable. So, now I have given FreeBSD the whole disk. I have done the standard install. I found instructions to have the install use MBR (instead of GPT), but that also doesn't work. After an install, I get to the boot0 (the F1 boot menu thing) screen, but when it tries to boot, it prints # and doesn't boot. When trying to share the disk with Windows, mostly I'd get boot errors about not having a bootable device (ERROR: No boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed.). In the BIOS setting, I've tried both IDE and AHCI in Storage Options - SATA emulation. PC-BSD 9.1 has the same results. It installs fine, but resets after selecting something at the boot0 prompt. FreeBSD 8.4 wouldn't install because the installer didn't have device node for /dev/ad4s1b in /dev in order to create the filesystems. I haven't spent any time figuring out what's going on here. [Using the Standard Installer, accepted the message about geometry, told it to use the whole disk, use the standard boot manager, used the auto-default filesystems, told it to go...] Ubuntu Linux works. OpenBSD works. NetBSD works. Fedora Linux works. I've been a FreeBSD user for about 16 years, so I really want this to work. Does anyone have suggestions about what else I should try?

When trying to share the disk with Windows, mostly I'd get boot errors about not having a bootable device (ERROR: No boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed.). boot0 is the multi-boot loader. I'm reasonably sure it will not work on a GPT disk. GPT needs the PMBR loader. This should be correctable by using the Shell option of the install disk: # gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptboot -i 1 ada0 The installer would write that by default on a blank disk. I don't know what it does when partitions are added to a GPT disk. For that matter, I'm not sure how you got boot0 on there. In the BIOS setting, I've tried both IDE and AHCI in Storage Options - SATA emulation. AHCI is preferred and will go a little bit faster, but either will work. PC-BSD 9.1 has the same results. It installs fine, but resets after selecting something at the boot0 prompt. boot0 strikes again. AFAIK, the only option for multi-boot on GPT disks is EasyBCD or grub (untested). But really, a VM is far preferable to multi-boot for many situations. FreeBSD 8.4 wouldn't install because the installer didn't have device node for /dev/ad4s1b in /dev in order to create the filesystems. That sounds familiar, but I can't find notes on solving it. I would recommend 9.x anyway. If there is nothing on the disk to lose, I would start from scratch by going to the shell from the installer: # gpart destroy -F ada0 Return to the installer, and it should find the entire disk unpartitioned. If you really want to multi-boot, reinstall Windows 8. Leave part of the disk unpartitioned for FreeBSD. Install EasyBCD in Windows (https://neosmart.net/EasyBCD/) and install FreeBSD in a new GPT partition, and maybe it will be easy. I have not tried a multi-boot install with Windows 8 or GPT/EFI, so can't really say what it will take. If you do that, take notes and post them somewhere. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

The port maintainer has made it so, for reasons unknown. This is a marked
deviation from basically all other ports; the vim port is the only port
that uses WITH_OPTIONS.
The switch was dropped in r314778 of the ports tree:
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/editors/vim/Makefile?revision=314778view=markup
but it was brought back in r322016:
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/editors/vim/Makefile?revision=322016view=markup
I ran into the same issue because I installed vim when WITH_OPTIONS was
absent.
The best way to get around this issue once and for all is to add the
following to /etc/make.conf:
- /etc/make.conf excerpt -
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/editors/vim}
WITH_OPTIONS=YES
.endif
- /etc/make.conf excerpt -

When trying to share the disk with Windows, mostly I'd get boot errors about not having a bootable device (ERROR: No boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed.). boot0 is the multi-boot loader. I'm reasonably sure it will not work on a GPT disk. GPT needs the PMBR loader. This should be correctable by using the Shell option of the install disk: # gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptboot -i 1 ada0 The installer would write that by default on a blank disk. I don't know what it does when partitions are added to a GPT disk. For that matter, I'm not sure how you got boot0 on there. boot0 must have been installed when I did MBR partitioning, and/or PCBSD did it? If there is nothing on the disk to lose, I would start from scratch by going to the shell from the installer: # gpart destroy -F ada0 Return to the installer, and it should find the entire disk unpartitioned. I booted the 9.1 install CD, executed gpart destroy -F ada0, and installed. After completing the install, boot fails with: ERROR: No boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed. I booted the install CD again, and executed: # gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptboot -i 1 ada0 and rebooted. I got the same error: ERROR: No boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed. If you really want to multi-boot, reinstall Windows 8. The Windows ship has sailed -- the system didn't come with media, and the install has been removed. So, I'm committed. :) Do you have any other suggestions?

I like to do that before the first boot. Clonezilla works well for that. Something to remember for next time, anyway. You may be able to get Windows reinstall media from HP. Do you have any other suggestions?

You, sir, are a wizard. You magical incantations worked, and I now have a bootable FreeBSD 9.1 system.
