RE: Installing from USB Flash Drive
I was really taken with the idea for using a USB flash stick disk drive to
install FreeBSD from. I used the script from the mentioned URL below as the
starting point. After some changes to the script I got it to work. I was able
to boot off the USB flash stick disk drive, But then was faced with a show
stopper. During the sysinstall process after it asks for hard drive fdisk and
bsdlable info it asks you for where to get the install files from (IE: cdrom,
remote ftp, floppy, dos partition, ECT) there is no option to tell the
sysinstall program to use USB-dd as source location.
So in summary, this idea is un-usable until the sysinstall program gets updated
to include an option to use USB-dd as an install source. This brings to light
another problem. That is using floppies to install FreeBSD from. PC
manufactures are no longer building systems with floppies drives included.
Combining the FreeBSD floppy images to a single USB-dd image would be away to
continue to offer this method of installing FreeBSD.
Included below is my working script to populate a 1GB USB flash stick disk with
the FreeBSD cd1 iso file.
#!/bin/sh
#Purpose = Use to transfer the FreeBSD install cd1 to
# a bootable 1GB USB flash drive so it can be used to install from.
# First fetch the FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso to your
# hard drive /usr. Then execute this script from the command line
# fbsd2usb /usr/6.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso /usr/6.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.img
# Change system bios to boot from USB-dd and away you go.
# NOTE: This script has to be run from root and your 1GB USB flash drive
# has to be plugged in before running this script.
# On the command line enter fbsd2usb iso-path img-path
# You can set some variables here. Edit them to fit your needs.
# Set serial variable to 0 if you don't want serial console at all,
# 1 if you want comconsole and 2 if you want comconsole and vidconsole

Subject: Installing from USB Flash Drive
Hi everybody,
I'm trying to install a system on a machine that doesn't have an optical
drive. I plan on using a USB flash drive to do the job and found a
messages from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg55434.html)
about just such a thing. The script provided converts the CD image into
one suitable for a flashmemory stick. I used and coverted it without
issue. The instructions say to use dd to prepare the flash drive so
executed
#dd if=flashbsd.iso of=/dev/da0
I'm not entirely confident that that was the correct procedure, as I'm
quite unfamilar with dd. Unfortunetly, I can't seem to get the drive to
boot. I can mount the filesystem so it seems that prepareing the drive was
succesful. I'm using a via chipset and yes, the bios is set to boot from
USB-FDD. I used the 6.2 boot only image.
Thanks for any insight you can provide me.

Subject: Please Help with Confusion about ipfw rules.
This is a situation where I thought I knew more than I
actually do. I set up a new domain name server with a
client-type firewall after having tested it first, but there is
nothing like hundreds of thousands of packets per hour to show
the weak spots.
I made the mistake of setting up keep-state rules both
coming and going and I now see ipfw complaining frequently about
too many dynamic rules. All I am really trying to do is give
crackers a lot of nothing to look at when scanning the ports on
the system. It isn't doing any NAT or routing, etc. I am not
sure if I really need any keep-state rules. The DNS needs to be
accessible to the world and be able to talk to the world on port
53 and that is all as far as bind is concerned.
What I am confused about is when I actually need
keep-state rules and when a simple rule like:
${fwcmd} add pass all from any to ${ip} 53
and
${fwcmd} add pass all from ${ip} to any 53
That theoretically should leave port 53 wide open to all types
of in-bound and out-bound traffic.
Fortunately, the new system is still working, but I am afraid we
might be dropping some packets so I need to modify the port 53
access.
Thanks for your help.

RE: 10Mbps versus 100Mbps Cable Modems
Am I missing some thing here? I though 10Mbps/100Mbps ends up controlling the max packet size traveling over the internet. So if your using 10Mbps, you end up generating 10 separate packets versus 1 packet at 100Mbps to move the same amount of data. This results in a network using 10Mbps to have more administrative overhead that a network using 100Mbps.

How to downgrade X 4.3 -- 4.2?
Hi folks, I seem to have opened a (new) can of worms by cvsuping the ports tree and doing #portupgrade -Ra which moved me from XFree86 4.2.0 to 4.3.0 (meta-port). I'd most like to find out what the problem is eg, see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xfree86m=106537114610303w=2 but was wondering if I could work around it by backing out the upgrade. I know I can back out an upgrade to the OS by cvsuping to an older date and making world. But how does one back out a port as complex as X? Is it as simple as downloading an appropriately old version of the meta-port makefile, eg from http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/x11/XFree86-4/Makefile say revision 1.142 and #portupgrade -fR XFree86 or perhaps I would need to get older versions of all the files in the meta port? Or would I need older versions of all files in all the dependencies also? I suppose I could cvsup my whole ports tree to the date of the older meta port makefile, do the portupgrade, then cvsup the ports tree again to get back up to date, refusing changes to the x11 category. Anyone with hints or suggestions other than 'restore disk from backup', or 'do clean install on new disk'? TIA. Alex __ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
