Questions about setting bridge
Hello, I want to setup a bridge in a ring topology since a break at any point along the ring would still leave all stations connected. My machine has two nics. In /etc/rc.conf, I have: ifconfig_em0="inet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0" cloned_interfaces="bridge0" ifconfig_em0="up" ifconfig_em1="up" ifconfig_bridge0="addm em0 addm em1 up" ifconfig_bridge0_alias0="192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 up" I tried to boot my clients using tftpd, but it seems doesn't work if I unpluged em0. If I run "ifconfig em1 inet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0" then my clients can boot via tftpd. But it's not a bridge, right? I mean should I configure the same ip for em0, em1, and bridge0?

Yes. 6.2 is long out of support, so you will need to use the makeworld route to get to something more recent. 6.4 is just about to go out of support -- you should be able to buildworld to that version, and then use freebsd-update to get to something up to date. Or just use the buildworld route to get to the latest (it takes some time for all the compilation but works reliably) -- you might be able to get to 8.1 in one step, but I think that's probably unlikely. You should always be able to update from the latest version on any major branch to any version on the next branch, so 6.2 -> 6.4 -> 7.3 -> 8.1 should work. You will need to rebuild all your ports for a major version upgrade, although (if it isn't obvious) if you're going to go up two major versions, you only need to rebuild all the ports once at the end of the process of updating the system.

It works with AT&T's version of ls, apparently.

The BIOS on this motherboard only provides a "legacy" and an "enhanced" option for the SATA controller. Neither option turns on AHCI mode so ata(4) attaches to the controller. There's also a JMicron controller, providing an eSATA connector, on this motherboard. It is AHCI compatible and ahci(4) attaches correctly to it. It would've been nice to be able to use NCQ and hotplug on the other SATA connectors too since the ICH8 has those features.

mount NTFS && can't write to it
Hello, I'm mounting an NTFS slice on an external USB drive as: # mount -t ntfs /dev/da1s1 /mnt I can see the data there with ls(1) but can't create any dir like /mnt/dir nor touch a file like /mnt/file (ofc as root). It alwaya says /mnt/dir: No such file or directory. The man page of mount_ntfs(8) does not explain what the problem could be.
