Wrong Geometry Disk Problem (Seagate ST3200822A - 200 GB)
Hello all, I have a problem installing FreeBSD 5.2.1 onto a Seagate Barracuda ST3200822A - 200 GB ATA/100 Hard Drive. Being a bit gun shy from a previous geometry problem mis-install where I almost lost some serious data, I am reluctant to just try things until they work. So here goes ... Using the Seagate disk tool, I created a 120 GB NTFS partition and a 200 MB FAT16 partition. Installed Windows XP on the 120 GB part. I want to put FreeBSD on the remaining space (~80 GB). The Seagate HD utility states the following: LBA Sectors are 390,721,968. Standard 512 bytes per sector. XBIOS Physical (and HD Spec Sheet from manufacture) (what BSD FDISK Sees too). C16383 H16 S63 BIOS C24321 H255 S63 When the FreeBSD CD boots and enters sysinstall, I get the usual drive geometry error. I've extensively searched google for some sort of method to calculate the true drive geometry with little success. 1. Is the above BIOS info correct ?? 2. Ultimately, do I want the drive geometry to match up with the LBA sectors ?? 3. Can anyone point me towards something that correctly calculates any drive's TRUE geometry ?? Any help is greatly appreciated... david markle ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: 5.1 COMMENTFILE Problem
Matthew, OK, I read the FAQ and did not find reference to changing the owner of the ports tree (if you will, regestering the tree structure with CVSup). I cannot even install cvsupit from /usr/ports/net/cvsupit. Doing a make install from that directory, I get the comment file. Sorry for not getting it.

Any suggestions would be great. Thanks. Yes --- that's a FAQ. You need to tell cvsup(1) that it owns all of the files under /usr/ports --- that way, when you update it will delete the old COMMENT files to bring your ports tree into line with the latest available. See http://www.cvsup.org/faq.html#caniadopt and subsequent questions.

libpcap install problem.
I am having a problem installing libpcap.

Can someone explain what is going wrong here Does this indicate I have to install bpf first Much thanks in advance.

Snort Ports Question
I am having difficulties getting snort compiled with MySQL from the Ports tree. I have FreeBSD 5.0 and have used CVS to update my tree, so Snort is current at 2.0.0. In the ports directory (/usr/ports/security/snort) I run: Make -DWITH_MYSQL .. then .. make install All seems OK, finds the mysql client, no specific errors, etc. . When I try and load snort, (/usr/local/bin/snort -c ..snort.conf ...blah), my messages file says that snort was NOT compiled with the with_mysql What am I doing wrong Thanks in advance.

CVS Update
Quick question: If I update my source tree with cvsup, will that include patch updates, etc. for security related advisories like sendmail, bind, etc ??

Maybe I am wrong, That is correct. ;) but unless you've 'make buildworld', you can't 'make buildkernel'. you have to do it the 'old-fashoned way' Nope, Mr. Markle just needs to make sure he's in the /usr/src directory when he tries to rebuild the 'new way.'
