Get the GAG bootloader, it's free, really easy to use and you can install it from ports or from many linux live CDs. What's really nice about it, is that it's all menu driven, and the complete setup menu is accessible from the boot screen.

I pretty sure you did something wrong, I've chainloaded multiple FreeBSD slices on the same drive using Lilo and other bootloaders. Also, grub places some files on a host filesystem. It may be more convenient to have those files stored on UFS rather than FAT or EXT. ... In that case, if you use grub (rather than FreeBSD's manager), you'd have to make a partition solely for grub. But is it a good idea for a bootloader to require external files at boot-time?

Script Problem
Using FreeBSD 5.4 Please do not laugh. I absolutely suck at writing scripts. Someday I might learn, but in the mean time, I need some assistance. I want to run a script from CRON that will check to see if MySQL is running, and if not, restart it. I have had a problem with MySQL shutting down unexpectedly. This is my first attempt at writing the script. #!/bin/sh if (`ps -wxuU mysql | grep -o mysqld_safe`) then echo MySQL is Running else /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh restart echo MySql Server is Restarted fi That produces this output even though MySQL is running. A mysqld process already exists Stopping mysql. Waiting for PIDS: 47567, 47567. Starting mysql.

But then you usually have to worry about coping with the pid file being absent. However, since you're worrying about mysql, one of the best tools to find out if mysql is running is mysqladmin(1). Try running: mysqladmin ping (possible with a few more arguments to specify exactly how to contact the mysql server and what DB userid to use) as your test that the server is still alive. Note that if MySQL is crashing it may well leave database tables in a damaged state: automatically restarting mysql in that case isn't going to me very productive. mysqlcheck(1) is your friend in this situation. Your best strategy is really to work out why MySQL is crashing and take steps to stop it. It would be unusual for mysql to die without leaving some sort of clue in the error log (by default /var/db/mysql/`hostname`.err) and you can always turn on the query log (or the bin log, which is equivalent, but needs a separate program to display its contents in a readable form) to see exactly what was happening around the time of the crash. One big reason for MySQL to crash is incorrect sizing of various buffers and internal arrays. Another is if the process tries to grow beyond the maximum possible size -- 128MiB by default, but can be tuned by setting kern.maxdsiz in loader.conf or by eg. 'options MAXDSIZ=(1024UL*1024*1024)' in your kernel configuration.

Device needed to manage several FreeBSD servers

Essentially what your script says is: if (please execute this command) then do this else do this fi Which is the same as saying: if () then do this else do this fi The script should be saying: if (this command is successful) then do this else do this fi Remove the backticks and it will work as expected. You use backticks when you want the results of a command to use somewhere else. For example: TESTING=`ps -wxuU mysql | grep -o mysqld_safe` if ( $TESTING ) When you want to test the logic of a script, use echo statements. That will tell you every loop and conditional statement's results without actually running anything that might cause problems for you.

FreeBSD 6, WPA-PSK, wpa_supplicant and a IBM a31p
Ok, I've exhausted a FreeBSD phanatic friend of mine, and spent quite a while
trying different configurations to get this working, and am coming up against a
brick wall.
I am attempting to setup a Thinkpad a31p with a built in wireless card, it uses
the wi driver. The output of dmesg
=-=-
wi0: Intersil Prism2.5 mem 0xf800-0xf8000fff irq 11 at device 2.0 on pci2
wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3874A(Mini-PCI)
wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (1.0.7), Station (1.3.6)
wi0: Ethernet address: 00:20:e0:8c:ea:87
=-=-
It will happily chatter unencrypted, but, well, I would rather have wpa-psk on
my home setup. so, after following the various man pages, handbook pages, and
some webpages I am currently doing the following.
Boot
kldload wlan_wep wlan_acl wlan_ccmp wlan_tkip ( Ihave also loaded wlan_xauth
under some config attempts although nothign I have read indicates this is
required)
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf contains
=-=-=-
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1 I have tried ap_scan=2 more details below
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid=my_ssid
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk=my_passphrase
}
=-=-=-
When I start wpa_supplicant, it seems to find the SSID, and then nothign... no
errors, no nothing, I have the debug enabled output of the wpa_supplicant -dd
command that I can include as a text file, but it is a little long (due to teh
ping and commands issued from wpa_cli).
At one point, I tried changing ap_scan=1 to ap_scan=2, as someone had posted
they had done. I saw immediate (well once I reinitiated teh wpa_supplicant
command) results. All of a sudden, it found, and as best as I can tell, tried
to negotiate. but threw out the following error.
=-=-=-
wpa_driver_bsd_associate: ssid 'myssid' wpa ie len 22 pairwise 3 group 3 key
mgmt 1
wpa_driver_bsd_associate:
ioctl[SIOCS80211, op 21 len 42] invalid request
association request to the driver failed
=-=-=-
The AP uses WPA-PSK(TKIP), I have tried it with the network directive including
proto as WPA and WPA2, key_mgmt as TKIP, pairwise as TKIP, and probably a few
other things I am currently forgeting.
Thoughts, ideas? directions. From my reading of the man pages, ap_scan should
only ever be 1, and the others are used for other OS's, which might explain the
error that I am receiving when it's set to 2. I am at a dead end of where I can
look to further investigate.

Re: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 117, Issue 23
Having some serious problems with gnome-theme-manager. Up until last week it was running great. I installed a few icon packs, themes, etc, no problems. 2 days ago I went to install a new theme and notice the the theme manager took a long time to come up, and when it did, none of the themes looked like themes. They were all greyed out with a question mark in the middle. Clicking theme details opened a theme window with nothing in it (partially drawn). I did some quick reading and found that the transparency in X can cause problems. So I disabled it. Rebooted and noted the same problems. I then removed all my themes and reinstalled them, thinking perhaps one was corrupt and it was messing up the rest. Same problem. Yesterday early in the morning I decided to reinstall everything from scratch (drastic, but wanted to be sure it wasn't my set up). Gnome is back up, but theme manager is still screwed up. If I select certain themes not only do they not work, but my machine has a tendancy to crash. Gnome crashes, and I'm back to the login prompt. Is anyone aware of a problem with the gnome-theme-manager or am I the only one having this problem? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Other responses in the thread are correct -- you're looking for a
console server (or a serial concentrator). There's an article
shipped with FreeBSD that describes just this type of thing; it's
also available online:

wired and wireless network setup interactions
Hello, I have a setup that was a 10 megabit hub holding together a freebsd6 firewall/router/webserver/other box. Updated that to a 10/100 megabitt Belkin g+ router for wireless. The problem now that i'm having is both the server and this new router do the following: firewall dhcp dns nat and they both utilize separate subnets. I'd like for the Belkin router to handle wireless traffic, while the original fbsd router handles wired as well as it's original functions of firewall, nat, dns, and dhcp. If anyone has any experience with this or recommendations i'd appreciate it. My thought was turn off the dhcp server on the belkin router and let the original fbsd server's dhcp server handle it, but i'm not sure if doing so will disable it's ability to accept wireless clients.

How to make init(8) run a daemon to me??
Hi All, I'm having a pretty hard time trying to figure out how can I get init(8) to run a daemon and respawn it if it crashes. By the time I was a Linux user, it was done by adding a line in /etc/inittab and it was all... I know that it must be done in /etc/ttys but I couldn't find any syntax example after searching the FreeBSD manpages, maillists, Handbook and Google. man init gives me this: ... The *init* utility can also be used to keep arbitrary daemons running, automatically restarting them if they die. In this case, the first field in the ttys(5) http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ttyssektion=5apropos=0manpath=FreeBSD+6.0-RELEASE+and+Ports file must not reference the path to a configured device node and will be passed to the daemon as the final argument on its com- mand line. This is similar to the facility offered in the ATT System V UNIX //etc/inittab/. ... Sounded a little cryptic to me... sorry... Can anyone help me? If so, An example line would be fine.
