Hi All, When I create a VLAN interface it does not inherit the parent interface capabilities. Is there a way to enable TSO (as other capabilities) on VLAN interfaces? Thanks, Yony ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list

I have a procedure for converting a FreeBSD box to use a mirrored slice for the OS. Everything working fine except that after I've made the conversion I am no longer getting the normal boot menu, the one that counts down 10 seconds waiting for the user to pick on option. I see a single line

The phrase and copy the file systems over to the mirror worries me. Do you actually copy the file systems, or do you let the mirror system do it for you? In particular, are you mirroring file systems or the entire disk? Because the boot blocks aren't part of any file system, so you won't have

He had you install a stock MBR on the second disk. You never copied the boot loader from the first disk, so that's what you're going to use when you boot from the second disk. You need to install the boot block you want on the second disk. Which probably means boot0. boot0cfg will do that for you.
