writemount -t msdosfs /dev/ad0s1(ad0s2) /mnt/win1(ad0s1) and

/dev/ad0s1 /windows/C ntfs ro 2 0
/dev/ad0s3 /windows/E msdosfs rw 0 0
(You don't need the 2, it can be 0)
For fat it can be 2 or 0 for NTFS though i believe a 2 can result in
difficulty restarting automatically after a panic.
You need to create the directories for the mount points (/windows/C and 
/windows/E). The partition in /dev/ad0s3 is my FAT32 partition which is 
the writable one - you don't want the ntfs filesystem to be 
writable.if you want the FAT32 (msdosfs) parition to be writeable, 
then /windows/E must be a writable mount directory. You of course, 
should use your own device (/dev/ad0s*) names as they are going to be 
different from mine.

Once you have these in your /etc/fstab they will automatically mount on 
boot (as configured this way). If you don't want to reboot after editing 
the file, you can always just do a :

  mount /windows/E
To manually mount...or
  umount /windows/E to umount it.
The configuration I have just described is how I wanted to set it up on 
my system, but others may have different opinions/setups.

Good luck.

The english seems fine to me for examples of what you really don't want
to go here. That being said i personally wouldn't have even noticed the 
little flub there so it wasn't an issue. Thanks though for saying 
something anyway. At anyrate if you haven't seen this page before it 
will give some idea of why language fluency is not that big a deal.
and helpful tips for not incurring the wrath of the BSD gods. ;-)

not disk error,  Read error
Since you can boot windows try getting the appropriate diagnostics from 
the harddisk manufacturer and running them. If I remember correctly 
disk error when i get it is a lack of proper boot sector, read error 
is more likely a problem with the disk. If that is the case backup all 
the data and see if you can return the disk. On second thought depending 
 on how old the disk is you may want to do this before testing. But to 
know that you will need to run the diagnostics.

I am not sure whether to say i hope this is it or not. It would be nice 
if the disk weren't broken. ;)

I install the freebsd very well, altough, when i boot, it gives me 
disk error immediatly after i turn on the pc.
I think of geometry hdd problems, because it gives me an warning in 
the installation, altough i cant put my BIOS geometry because my 
laptop phoenix BIOS dont show the disk geometry.

The disk comes from the shop with XP installed on it, so ... it works 
and i need it working quickly, anyone know what the problem is ?
Well this should have been reincluded in you corrected version also.
If it boots XP the disk is probably fine, but if it does not pass the 
post test then something is amiss.

I would try looking up the geometry on the manufacturers website and 
checking that that is how it is detected. Otherwise if it is a older 
bios it may need an overlay or a bios update to use.

As long as you have winXP installed why not use the ntloader.

answers all of the relevant questions. Before i nuked windows from my

Re: [samba] can't print from w2k to bsd printer

Hi

I've spend several hours trying to get samba to play nice. I can get user to 
login from windows to their bsd-account, mount CD's etc.. But I can't get the 
users to print. I can see the printer and I can install it. But when I click 
on the installed printer I get access denied. 

I've tried everything, dublicating every smb.conf I could find. Trying out 
every options. None helped. Hope someone here can spot what's wrong.

My setup is a desktop PC running FBSD and a laptop with w2k. These are 
connected through a router. The printer is a laserjet and works great on the 
FBSD.

And I'm a newbie to samba.
see http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba2/book/toc.html
there are many useful examples. There should be an answer here, or at 
least something new to try. This the oreilly samba book, should have all 
you need plus plenty of details.
/etc/printcap (using fbsd's native lpr):

laserjet|lp|ps|PS|S|hp|HP LaserJet 1200:\
:sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/laserjet:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:\
:mx#0:\
:if=/usr/local/libexec/psif:

/usr/local/etc/smb.conf: (as it looks right now).

[global]
  netbios name = fbsd
  server string = Samba Server
  workgroup = WORKGROUP
  security = share
  encrypt passwords = yes
  wins support = yes
  printing = bsd
  printcap name = /etc/printcap
  load printers = yes
  use client driver = no
[printers]
  comment = All printers
  printable = yes
  path = /var/spool/samba
  browseable = no
  public = yes
  read only = yes
  writable = no
[laserjet]
  comment = LaserJet 1200 on FreeBSD
  path = /var/spool/samba
  browseable = yes
This could be problem try removing the line.
  printable = yes
  writable = no
This is probably the problem, remember that a printer cue is really a 
directory, and as such will probably require write access. Although I 
haven't used samba in a while, and rarely for printing.
  hosts allow = 192.168.1.
  guest ok = yes
Permission on /var/spool/samba:

drwxrwxrwt  2 root   wheel   512 May  9 21:35 samba

I've tried 2 ways of installing the printer on w2k. 1) Clicking on the 
printericon in the local shares folder and 2) add new printer and selecting 
the printer from the network. Both ways gives me access denied after 
installation.

Help! ;)

Bjarne
Hope this solves it,
-Thomas

Sort of, if i turn the volume all the way up i can here

a problem; i just don't use flash often so i never worried about it.
I've got FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT Mar 14 with Firefox 0.8. Latest
linuxpluginwrapper (march 10, built from ports) and the correct (as

Hello all,
I’ve got a couple of questions regarding resolutions. 
First, is there a way to increase/decrease the
resolution of the CLI interface? I’ve got a laptop

I’m thinking 640x480, where my native resolution is
1024x768.
Personally i had to turn on the bios to what was called LCD
expansion doesn't effect the real resolution but it does 
scale the display. I couldn't change the resolution of the
console, though it is in general possible.
 
My next question refers to xfree86. Part of my log
file seems to indicate X is running at 640x480, and
another seems to indicate 1024x768. Is there a way I
can test this for sure?
Try adding a modes 1024x768 under one of the color
depths sections and a default depth to point to that depth.

Still trying to trace the reason...:-(
When i had this problem, the solution ended up being to set the computer 
to not power up when another computer tries to access it online. That seemed
to stop the weird powering on.
