Re: Nanobsd on a CD-ROM
J. Porter Clark wrote: I don't have a way to make such an image without using mkisofs. Figuring out how to pack the nanobsd image in such a way that mkisofs can make an El Torito bootable CD from it sounds difficult, offhand. Anybody know how to do this sort of thing? Is it even possible? Yes, of course this is possible. Think of the the FreeBSD installation images that boot from CD too. I did this already with a custom distribution, but I don't remember the steps right now. /boot/cdboot is the boot code that should do this. Take a look at /usr/src/release/i386/mkisoimages.sh.

Re: installing boot0 via dd
FreeBSD MailingLists wrote: Here is what I am thinking... 1) go to a different freebsd box with boot0 already installed. 2) use dd to grab a image file of the MBR 3) boot into knoppix on the machine (i already have it installed on the HDD) 4) use dd to load the image file to the MBR can someone tell me if the following commands are correct for grabbing and reloading the MBR? 1) on Freebsd: dd if=/dev/ad0 of=boot0file bs=1b count=1 2) on knoppix: dd if=boot0file of=/dev/hda bs=1b count=1 This might work, but keep in mind that you would destroy an existing partition table on the target hard disk. The loader program has only a size of 446 Bytes instead of 512 Bytes; the remaining 64+2 Bytes are for the partition table and the signature (0x55AA).

Re: General PHP Port Question
Bill Schmitt (SW) wrote: I think I'm missing something pretty basic. There appear to be two ways to install php4; using the port under lang/php4 and using the port under www/mod_php4. There are further ways. You missed 'www/php4-cgi' and 'lang/php4-extensions'. The Long Description under each is the same. Under Lang, the Short Description refers to CLI, but otherwise they appear to be the same thing. Other than the CLI reference, what is the difference between installing one or the other Well it's quite simple: 'lang/php4' installs the Apache Module and a command line interface while 'www/mod_php4' installs the Apache Module only. and why is one listed under lang and the other under www? 'lang/php4' with the command line interface gives the ability to create scripts which have nothing necessarily to do with the web. It's more general. Furthermore this port is the base of all ports which deal with php4, e.g. misc/php4-calendar or devel/php4-ncurses. 'www/mod_php4' is for use with the Apache web server only and therefore a piece of software which belongs to the 'www' category.

Re: Statically linked bash
Hello,
copy the attached patch to /usr/ports/shells/bash and apply it with
patch -i Makefile-static.patch
It adds some knobs in the style of the port 'shells/bash2'. Build the
shell with
make -DWANT_STATIC_BASH -DWITHOUT_NLS install clean
The dependence to libintl and libiconv is the reason why your binary is
still dynamically linked. WITHOUT_NLS solves it.
Regards Björn

Re: Error installing FreeBSd 5.3 AMD 64 bit-Highpoint 1820A

Re: HighPoint RocketRAID 1640 support
Cezar Fistik wrote: I saw on the manufacturer's site that this board is supported under FreeBSD, but the hptmv man page says that only 182x boards are supported. The hptmv driver works only with RR182x and i386. Can anyone confirm a successful instalation of 1640 on FreeBSD? I do. You can use the binary drivers from Highpoint's website. Currently the RR1640 works fine for me with FreeBSD 5.4 and RAID 5. Until January 2004, I had some minor problems with FreeBSD's *built-in* support for the Highpoint chipsets using SATA hard disk drives. I don't know if it works properly now; I guess it does not.
