Do you want me to type the command as it is, or is does the question mark indicate that everything under the primary partition will be mounted in /mnt? Works with 'R.I.P. 11-6' (Slackware based / 2.4 kernel) It is compiled into the kernel on this distro. (There is probably a module option somewhere under Debian) HTH Keith Yes. Thanks. I checked out the config file of my linux kernel and found that UFS is supported. Also, the issue was that I wasn't mounting it right or something. I was trying to mount the primary partition I installed FreeBSD on. But then, I was later told that I need to mount the partitions that are created inside this primary partition. (as in whatever that is called- slices or whatever). I installed FreeBSD on a Secondary Hard disk ..on Primary partition hdb1 (under Linux.) I guess it is called as something ad1s1 under FreeBSD. But then, I think that to mount the partition properly, I need to mount the ad1s1a, ad1s1b thing to get it right. -- Regards, Amit. http://copperskullcprogramming.blogspot.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: How to choose an UPS?

Elisej Babenko You may want to buy what fits your budget and still be good on features. I would generally recommend on buying an APC UPS. It has good life and pretty good features too. They came in various models, you may want to check out their website. http://www.apc.com Usually, if you are willing to interface the UPS with your Computer, like it should automatically shutdown the computer when there's a power failure, then you may want to buy one with USB support. But I am not sure that you can interface it with FreeBSD. It can be done with Linux and Windows. :) -- Regards, Amit. http://copperskullcprogramming.blogspot.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yeah, I had some problems getting KDE to work properly, cuz of some issues with the Xserver, but they could be dealt with. So for a couple of days, I must say that FreeBSD was working fine. Then I was looking for some way of mounting the FreeBSD partition on Linux and/or vice-versa. But I couldn't do it. The next time I tried booting to FreeBSD, I am getting the same errors that you are!!! This time, I have no clue to what went wrong!

Re: Install problems

However when I restart the pc after the install I get an error message that it cannot find the kernel. I have gone through the install several times already with the same results. Any idea on what I could be doing wrong. Thank you for your help. Jose New to FreeBSD Hi, I see that you are getting the Kernel not found message. In FreeBSD, I guess you have to explicitly install the Kernel. It can be found under DISTRIBUTION, Kernel - Generic / SMP. Select the one you want to. and let it install the kernel. Then follow the other installation steps, and then it should run properly. I also am new to FreeBSD. Doing what is mentioned above solved the problem for me. :) Just wondering why the FreeBSD installer doesn't include the Kernel by default! -- Regards, Amit.
