 Subject: Re: fsck on FAT32 filesystem?

 
  Let us securely erase your personal files and pictures for only $49.99.
 and securely copy everything interesting before.

 That's truly funny. Someone DO CARE about his/her data being deleted, 
 and... lets someone else in random shop to do this.

And exactly what alternatives _do_ you see for someone who DOES NOT HAVE
THE SKILLS, TOOLS, OR RESOURCES, to 'do it themselves'?

That's a serious question, not an attack.

If someone wants it done, but doesn't have the knowledge/tools/etc. to
do it themselves, it appears to me that they have precisely two realistic
alternatives:
   1) Trust somebody to do it, and do it right,
or
   2) simpl DON'T do it.

Putting together what is required to do it yourself _is_ out of the
question for _most_ Windows users.   They don't know _what_ they need to
know/learn/have to do the task. Heck they don't know how to find out *what*
they need to find out, to learn what is needed to do the task.

Yes, in theory, they _could_ learn everything they need to know to do it
themselves, but the list of things that a 'know nothing' Windows user has
to dig out, understand, and _use_, is incredibly long and daunting.

I know plenty of dumber than dirt *.nix users too. Stupidity is not
limited to race, color, sex or operating system. Actually, they are
smart enough to get themselves an OS that actually works with virtually
all modern hardware and without having to spend countless [hours | days
| weeks] attempting to getting such hardware up and running before
eventually giving up in some cases. You might have heard about N
protocol wireless devices that until fairly recently FreeBSD didn't even
know existed. Even now the support is limited; however, that is another
story.

In any case, that is not the subject of this this reply. I have found
HDDerase.exe http://cmrr.ucsd.edu/people/Hughes/SecureErase.shtml
to be a useful and in the most important criteria to the FOSS crowd,
free.

Seriously though, isn't it about time to close this thread?

Somewhere back in 2004? :-D

Seriously, if you can find any package at all, I'd try
it.  I don't know that cvsup changes that much.  You
can use fetch or FTP to grab from a newer location
and add the package directly, e.g.

# cd
# fetch ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/path/to/some/real.pkg.tbz
# pkg_add real.pkg.tbz

I don't think there is any /easy/ way for you to continue using 4.8, 
which is not officially supported. If you install 4.11 you will have 
better luck with ports and packages (for as long as 4.11 is 
supported, anyway... the 4.x line is still widely used, but is EOL 
except for security updates).


Someone may be able to provide you with a 4.8 workaround for a cvsup 
package (OK, I see someone did already!), but that may only be the 
beginning of a long train of workarounds you'd need. Using 4.11 will 
provide somewhat more of a panacea.


If you have enough RAM, go ahead and install 5.4 or 6.0 (or soon 
enough, 6.1).

Hi Greg. My issue is that would like to continue using this box and -
possibly because of the age of the cdrom - am having a problem installing
with my 6.0 iso too. :(

This box has 82M of ram, forgot to mention that. And it is running 4.8 with
just about nothing on it, and it is networked with my office broadband
connection.

So, is there a simple way I could install over the net? And how high a
release could I go? Obviously I won't be putting X windows on there but if I
can get Apache w/ mod_perl, Samba, Mysql and Perl it'll be a useful machine
for my intranet. I had all that on before but apparently 4.8 isn't going to
work for me now unless I have a time machine.

That's plenty of RAM for basic installation and modest non-GUI 
usage. I've no idea how much RAM Samba and MySQL might need to 
thrive though. If you ran them before, you should be able to keep 
doing that.


According to the fine manual, you should be able to boot from a 
floppy and install 6.0 over FTP. It's just like installing from CD, 
only slower, generally . See section 2.2.7 of:


http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-pre.html

I'd try re-toasting the 6.0 ISO myself. Use the slowest burn speed 
available on your burner -- older CD-ROMs sometimes have a problem 
with discs burned at a high speed.

This is giving me problems for some reason. I've put the floppy images on a
Debian box in my office and dd'd onto a floppy. The boot.flp worked but then
with the kern1.flp - which I dd'd onto the same floppy as boot.flp had gone
on, get this after a while:

zf_read: fill error

readin failed

elf32_loadimage: read failed
Unable to load a kernel!

...

maybe I'll follow the other path and just install my needed software the old

Yeah, hard to know.  In our tests, failure rate for floppy
diskettes, straight from a local discount retailer, is
in the nominal 60% range.

I seem to remember the boot.flp is required twice, so probably not a good

I think vidcontrol is what you are looking for. `man vidcontrol` for more 
info.

 Try
 mount /dev/fd0c /mnt   (UFS floopy) 
 or
 mount -t msdos /dev/fd0c /mnt  (DOS FAT floppy)
 
 It may work if your system is an earlier version; I think it was changed
 to fd0 in 5.0.
 

Sounds to me like the device isn't being found at all in the /dev
directory.  If fd0 doesn't exist then certainly fd0c won't exist either.  

What does `ls -l /dev/fd*` reveal?

Also, what does `dmesg | grep fd` show?

Are you using devfs?

Not using FreeBSD it can't.  FreeBSD on PPC processors is under
development, but by no means ready for anyone to actually use yet.

You might have more luck over with our fiends at NetBSD, who do have
PPC ports available.  Don't know about installing over the 'net -- you
might have more luck by trying to find a way to replace your broken
brive with a cheap off-the-shelf alternative.

Cheers,

Matthew

To expand on another answer, you can install NetBSD for PowerPC over 
the net, but I think you need a floppy or some kind of startup image to 
boot from. And you have to be willing to poke around in the Open 
Firmware environment. And of course, there's Darwin 7.0.1, the core of 
OS X 10.3.

The best option is to fix or replace the drive, I think.

You can get combo drives for G3 iMacs on ebay or by visiting one of the 
used Mac computer sites.

G3 imacs can netboot.. maybe you can do something with that as an 
alternative.
