Re: FreeBSD 7.2 o/s on a flash stick

I want to boot from it on a mini lap top ( no CD ) and use it like the hd inside. Hi Al The way i have done this in 7.0 7.1 and 7.2 is to boot off the cd1 install cd and do a normal install to my 1gb flash stick. A 1gb flash stick is to small for the default slice sizes. You will have to manually allocate the / /usr /var /swap sizes. I also found it usefully to set the boot flag when allocating the whole flash stick. A 2gb or larger flash stick allows you to take the auto-allocate option for / /usr /var /swap sizes. Keep in mind that your /var log files can fill up you flash stick real quick and lock up your system. If your running this flash stick 7/24 then rotate them more often deleting the oldest one. It's as simple as that. I usually find it easier and faster to do this the manual way. You need the DVD iso image with the live filesystem. Boot from it and enter the fixit shell. Create one bootable slice covering the whole USB-stick: # fdisk -BI /dev/da0 Create one bootable BSD partition covering the whole slice: # bsdlabel -B -w /dev/da0s1 Create the filesystem and give it a label you can refer to in fstab: # newfs -U -L FreeBSDonUSB /dev/da0s1a Mount it: # mount /dev/da0s1a /mnt Extract at a minimum base and the generic kernel: # DESTDIR=/mnt /dist/7.2-RELEASE/base/install.sh # DESTDIR=/mnt /dist/7.2-RELEASE/kernels/install.sh generic Delete the empty default kernel directory and move the generic kernel into its place: # rmdir /mnt/boot/kernel # mv /mnt/boot/GENERIC /mnt/boot/kernel Create /etc/fstab: # echo '/dev/ufs/FreeBSDonUSB / ufs rw,noatime 1 1' /mnt/etc/fstab Load the necessary kernel module at boot: # echo 'geom_label_load=YES' /mnt/boot/loader.conf Create /etc/rc.conf. Adjust and add to your own needs: # echo 'ifconfig_DEFAULT=DHCP' /mnt/etc/rc.conf # echo 'hostname=freebsd' /mnt/etc/rc.conf # echo 'keymap=swedish.iso' /mnt/etc/rc.conf # echo 'sshd_enable=YES' /mnt/etc/rc.conf Set the time zone: # cp /mnt/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Stockholm /mnt/etc/localtime Set the root password in the new environment: # chroot /mnt /bin/sh # passwd root # exit Now exit SYSINSTALL and reboot. I hope I haven't missed anything. I think geom_label is unnecessary in FreeBSD 7+ but it doesn't hurt. Also remember that the displayed time is dependent on whether your computer's CMOS clock is UTC or local time. Maybe someone has a nice trick to correct for both options. Finally some credit to the guide I learned this from: http://typo.submonkey.net/articles/2006/04/13/installing-freebsd-on-usb-stick-episode-2 I actually do all my FreeBSD installs this way nowadays but I use gmirror instead of the label.

X Terminals problem
In my newly installed 7.2-STABLE, any X Terminal (xterm, xfce's Terminal, eterm,...) is working in the wrong way, specially while I use vim (v. 7.2.209) in text mode (gvim works ok), it can't scroll, when I try to move the cursor after the last line on the screen, the status bar shows that the position is changing, but the screen doesn't scrolls. Another issue is if I write a long line in the X terminal, instead of adding a LF at the end and continuing in the next line, it starts at the beginning of the same line.

Are these tools supposed to work when using the Fix It CD? If not, does 7.2-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso have these tools? One can load kernel modules from the fixit cdrom, but as far as i remember this requires some manipulations. What i do is, from the fixit prompt: chroot /mnt2 to go to the full system available on the cdrom under /mnt2. But then required things are missing, so i do further: mount -t devfs devfs /dev because access to /dev is frequently required, and for commodity set -o emacs (to have shell history and editing) export PAGER=more (to be able to access man pages) After that one has a more or less standard environment. Sometimes one needs a writable filesystem, for example for accessing internet (dhclient, resolv.conf, etc.) mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /tmp does that. It would be nice to have a shell script on the fixit cdrom doing similar things automatically when one accesses fixit. In your case i suspect appropriate kernel modules were not loaded and commands failed silently. -- Michel TALON ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

svn client from subversion
Hi I'm used to the client that follow devel/subversion - Is it possible to only install the client on a server. (I got 4 servers and only 1 needs the subversion backend etc.. but the 3 others need the client) -- Med Venlig Hilsen Kalle R.

SanDisk FreeBSD 7.2 p1 install
Aloha, Thanks for the help from the list on installing FreeBSD 7.2 on a Sandisk USB Flash drive. I was able to install the basic FreeBSD files and it rebooted. I used the 7.2 that Manolis created. However there were errors with trying to load the install for xorg. This new xorg is the same version that I have not been able to get to work on my test box either with a regular HDD. That said everything else seems to be there as expected. Thanks for that p1 version for speeding up a default install. I have the test box trying to load an xorg from the main server to correct this issue for me. I will report on if that cures the problem. On the download of 7.2 p1 it said CD-DVD iso. but I think the file is too big for a CD. The only errors were about xorg and associated libs. Can anyone enlighten me on this?. Again thanks to the FreeBSD list support we are making progress. ~Al Plant - Honolulu, Hawaii - Phone: 808-284-2740 + http://hawaiidakine.com + http://freebsdinfo.org + + http://aloha50.net - Supporting - FreeBSD 6.* - 7.* - 8.* + email: n...@hdk5.net All that's really worth doing is what we do for others.- Lewis Carrol ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I was able to install Xorg and xfce on the HP Mini under FreeBSD 7.2 Sysinstall from main FreeBSD server. Mouse (touch pad) works as root just fine on the screen under Sysinstall tester, but not as user under Xorg. Anybody had success with getting touchpad mouse to work on a netbook. This HP Mini is similar to Ausus EEE. ~Al Plant - Honolulu, Hawaii - Phone: 808-284-2740 + http://hawaiidakine.com + http://freebsdinfo.org + + http://aloha50.net - Supporting - FreeBSD 6.* - 7.* - 8.* + email: n...@hdk5.net All that's really worth doing is what we do for others.- Lewis Carrol ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

The svn(1) command line utility _needs_ some of the backend libraries to be able to access a subversion repository. Remove those, and it is going to lose a fair amount of functionality. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
