Booting from firmware RAID
Hello, This is probably more PC-specific than freebsd-specific question. I have intel firmware raid. OS needs drivers to work with it. FreeBSD sees it as ar0, so it has drivers. But I want my OS to be installed on this drive and boot from it. It is not good idea, but I really want to do it:) Is it possible? boot0 and boot1 both work with HDD via BIOS interrupts and CHS, right? So, how do they know how to access RAID? They has no drivers. Or BIOS supports interrupts to access RAID with out of drivers? If so -- what for drivers are needed? To access drive via ATA interface? Is it possible to boot freebsd from firmware raid?

Re: Booting from firmware RAID
My boot0 freezes. I found discussion where guy told that extipl works fine but boot0 not because extipl uses LBA instead of CHS and some raids do not support CHS. It is new to me that BIOS allows LBA but I will try extipl now. On Wed, Mar 16, 2011 at 5:11 PM, b. f. bf1...@googlemail.com wrote: This is probably more PC-specific than freebsd-specific question.

Sometimes: it depends on the firmware, and your bios. I had a add-in PCIe SATA RAID controller based on a Marvell SE9128 chipset, and using a Marvell firmware. The bios and the FreeBSD 9-CURRENT bootloader were able to boot from a JBOD drive attached to the controller, up until the point where the ahci driver tried to take control of the drive. Then the Marvell firmware presented a fictitious configuration to the ahci driver and returned invalid device signatures, so the boot process failed. On the same machine, however, I was able to boot without problems from a JBOD drive attached to a PCI-X SATA RAID controller based on the Silicon Image SiI3124 chipset, using a Silicon Image firmware. b. ___ 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

Re: [solved] How to tell whether CPU supports x64?
AMD Features=0x2010NX,LM AMD Features2=0x1LAHF Cores per package: 16 Logical CPUs per core: 2 The Intel site does say the E5520 supports x64. It seems the lack of LM in the original system does in fact mean it's a 32-bit only processor. Look again: AMD Features=0x2010NX,LM NX,*LM* :) John Levine johnl_iecc.com replied (on 2011/03/17): Looking at the Intel web site, the only Xeon I see that runs at 2.4GHz and has two cores with two threads is the Xeon 3060, which does indeed provide the 64 bit instruction set. I looked at the ark.intel.com site hoping to find what processor would report Id = 0xf29 Stepping = 9. I had no luck. I think the dual processors is because of HyperThreading, as indicated by the HTT feature, and that it's actually only a single core. Devin Teske dteske_vicor.com replied (on 2011/03/17): I wrote this for the job (please, suggestions/comments very welcome): #include stdio.h/* printf(3) */ #include stdlib.h /* EXIT_SUCCESS exit(3) */ ... I tried the program, and it reports x86_64 support: NO on both the original system, and the one above that appears to be x64-capable (although it is running the i386 install, which may be why?).

Re: FreeBSD Boot
You can use fdisk -B to install non-interactive boot manager. Or you can use -t in boot0cfg to make timeout equals to zero. If after it you STILL have F1 -- you probably boot from another drive: not da0 but da1. How many drives do you have? Check your BIOS settings to find which drive you boot from. Ilya.

Re: boot linux
You need to install boot0cfg in your MBR man boot0cfg http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/boot-blocks.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/boot-blocks.htmlHonestly you can use any MBR loader you like (grub, lilo, boot0cfg, windows). Windows can't access boot sector on non-ntfs partitions, so you need to fetch first block from your unix slice (boot1 or take it from /boot/boot1) and store it as file (like freebsd.blk) on windows drive. Grub and lilo probably can access slice their selfs. boot0cfg definitely can. Ilya.

Re: Easiest desktop BSD distro
If there is a choice between making things easy to learn and easy to use, the design principle is to make it easy to use - even if that comes at the cost of a steeper learning curve. And you can always create easy-to-learn GUI-based tool that works on the top of low-level tools. BTW Microsoft came to this idea too (see MinWin) So the easiest BSD? Any of them, if you're prepared to invest the time learning it. FreeBSD probably is the easiest to study in all BSD family because it has a really good handbook.

I find that the best way to familiarize myself with a distro is to adopt it as my main distro (for web browsing, email, word processing, etc.). But the challenge of BSD have so far proven too much for me. It would take too long to configure FreeBSD to my liking. I couldn't figure out what to enter in GRUB to multi-boot Linux and BSD. I tried PC-BSD, GhostBSD, and DragonflyBSD in VirtualBox. I've found PC-BSD agonizingly slow to install and operate, and KDE didn't even boot up when I logged in. GhostBSD has too many things that don't work, such as the keyboard on my laptop and my Internet connection on my desktop. DragonflyBSD didn't boot up in Virtualbox. I recommend Linux Mint as a first Linux distro. It's user-friendly, well-established, widely used, includes codecs/drivers that Ubuntu doesn't, and has a Windows-like user interface. For those with older computers, I recommend Puppy Linux or antiX Linux as a first distro. I'm looking for the analogous choice in the BSD world. So what do you recommend as my first desktop BSD distro? What desktop BSD distro is so easy to use that even Paris Hilton or Jessica Chicken of the Sea Simpson can handle it? Please keep in mind that I have a slow Internet connection, and these BSD distros are ENORMOUS.

Try to talk to your modem using some tool like minicom (/usr/ports/comms/minicom). Try to send some AT commands to your modem: ATZ (should return OK) ATI7 (should return product info) ATDTSOME_PHONE (should dial it) 2) To talk to your modem you will use chat tool, so read man chat 3) To connect your PC to the internet via serial modem you use PPP.

Any process that stores data there would be really surprised when you clear it:) PHP uses tmp to store sessions and that is a good example:) tmp may be cleaned after server restart On Thu, Nov 29, 2012 at 8:19 PM, Gary Aitken free...@dreamchaser.orgwrote: Any reasons why one should not clear /var/tmp via periodic.conf? ___ 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 ___ 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
Re: i386 vs amd64
How does the system know what is OS and what is 32-bit apps? OS works in kernel space while application is not. PAE affects paging system allowing software to address 2^36 bytes of memory. You can access it in kernel space, but user space applications are limited to 2^32 bytes of virtual memory (even less than 2^32 because of mappings). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension If you are interested in memory management in IA-32 (and IA-32e) here are good links: 1) official guide: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/architectures-software-developer-manuals.html 2) nice (human-readable) book: http://mindshare.com/shop/?c=bsection=0A6B17101710 Where would GCC fit in this regard, or Clang for that matter? If you write app for user-space (not kernel module) you should not care about PAE. You simply compile it as you would do it for system with out of PAE.

Re: set connection to a modem
Hello, ppp is used when you want connect to internet via modem. i just want to config my modem by AT command. when my ppp.conf file is empty, i can talk to my modem so this config file do nothing what you want talk to your modem. if i want to talk to my modem by a specific speed, which config file should be changed? You use some app to talk to your modem via serial port. You may configure speed for each program. You use minicom to connect to the remote system manually and you set speed via minicom config. You use PPP to connect to the remote system and internetwork with it and you use ppp.conf to configure speed. If you are interested in *default* values and port configuration regardless app you use see: /dev/ttyuN.init /dev/cuauN.init /dev/ttyuN.lock /dev/cuauN.lock Please read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/serial.html man sio Ilya. ___ 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

Re: dual boot winxp 9.1-rc3

You probably better use boot0cfg (man boot0cfg ) BTW you could also use windows boot manager (fetch MBS and configure boot.ini to work with it) but boot0 is, probably, better.

Re: redirect incoming telnet to com port
hello everybody i have freebsd8.2. i want to redirect incoming telnet from telnet port to a com port. i mean if somebody telnet to my system with a specific port (or 22 which is default telnet port), connect to com port and can talk to modem (something like cisco). is it possible or not? any hints or comments are really appreciated. Are your talking about reverse telnet cisco functionality? Try to use comserv: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=comservstype=all .Additionally, comservd can serve up local serial ports to remote systems...
