Hello,
I’ve been thinking about CPU performance and power management on FreeBSD
recently. As a user it seems like there has been little activity in this area
and I wanted to try and understand what the situation was.
From the publicly available information on powerd [1], the wiki [2] and my
I am trying to install version #5.1, #5.2, and #5.2.1 on my computer.

80gb ata drive, and 1 seagate 80gb sata drive.
the problem i am having is :

I hadn't done my math and before that rev gbde would request
very large lumps of ram from malloc(9).
For a few hours, I thought that rev 1.9 may have fixed the problem, but
I just received another ENOMEM
I am seeing a lot of crashes of GBDE, causing ENOMEM errors to scroll
rapidly on the console. Whenever this happens, the server becomes
unresponsive to keyboard or any other input and has to be power cycled.
Is there some debug setting that I can set which would help diagnose the
problem further?
I am writing a section for the Handbook on how to use gbde. Currently,
using gbde is a rather manual process. Each time a host reboots, the
admin needs to attach the gbde device(s), enter any required
passphrases, manually fsck the partition, and mount it.

The problem was caused by a conflict between OpenSSL library versions

I am about to set up a FreeBSD 5.0 machine without a swap partition. The
server has 1GB of RAM. Are there any caveats that I need to consider
during installation or configuration?
Thanks,

Having no swap will prevent you from getting crashdumps in
case of panic which, if you run 5.0, is not that unusual.
Besides these days harddrives cost $1/GB, so why not setup
the swap partition anyway?
I don't want cleartext cryptographic keys to ever touch magnetic media,
I plan to deploy GBDE in an environment in which the absolute maximum of
the system that can reasonably be kept encrypted on disk will be kept
in an encrypted format.
The system has the following requirements:
1) It must remain possible to administer the host over ssh. This
includes rebooting
Are there any potential draw backs to enabling DRM_LINUX? Or should
DRM_LINUX be enabled whenever one enables COMPAT_LINUX?
This has not been clear to me from reading NOTES.

It would be very helpful if somebody could provide those of us ready to
start testing with the precise URL to the floppies/ISOs of a particular
build that should be tested.

I am aware that there is existing FireWire code, I am just wondering by
when you think the integration will likely be done.

3) Compatibility reducing security is typically not a good thing.
I therefore would like to ask the FreeBSD team to please consider to, in
the default configuration of FreeBSD 5.0, only enable ssh2 for sshd.

dual-booting with windows 95 using fbsdboot.exe - which I just discovered
does not work with an ELF kernel.
