OT: Powerbook Problem.
Hope someone can help! When I boot my powerbook, my desktop image loads, and then the apple bar starts to load, then the rainbow wheel keeps spinning, and the apple bar keeps flashing on and off as iif it is trying to load. A disc will eject with the eject button, and the volume buttons work including the display, but the os never finishes loading. So I want to reinstall, but how do i get the g4 to boot from the install dvd without having the machine up and running, installing the disc, choosing install and rebooting? I imagine there is a key sequence, but cant find it -- You Never Blow Your Trip Forever Daevid Allen ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Save it as Makefile.inc1.diff in your home, switsch to /usr/src.
Become root:
#patch /your/home/Makefile.inc1.diff
Build the jail.
I got this patch from a friend of mine, for me it works perfect.
I followed your directions and got;

Hmm... Looks like a unified diff to me...

hey all, is therer a way to adjust the resolution on the console? I have played around with the settings in sysinstall, but it does not apear to do anything.
