Wanted Soekris net4511's

Dear Friends,

I'm looking to acquire used-but-in-working-condition Soekris net4511's.

http://www.soekris.com/net4511.htm

I can take anything between 1 and 5 depending on the price.  If you've
got any, please email me your best offer.

Re: FreeBSD 7 on Zonbu machine

2008-04-25 Thread Ashant Chalasani
Hi there!

I'm running tinybsd on a Soekris net-45*1 boxes, so I didn't need to
deal with it, but checking on my host machine, it seems like you need
these libraries:

/usr/lib/libusbhid.a
/usr/lib/libusbhid.so.3
/usr/lib/libusbhid.so

Check for those on your image.

I've had issues with the /etc and /etc/rc.d directories, which didn't
get copied properly when tinybsd was built (on repeated builds).  As a
result a number of startup and config scripts didn't get started.  So
you might wanna check if your config and startup scripts are intact.

Re: Install port without man page

   If the port controls installing the manpages, then you can set

  NO_INSTALL_MANPAGES is traditionally just an imake-related hack,

Re: tinybsd doesn't have /etc/rc.d/ ?

2008-03-28 Thread Ashant Chalasani
Finally got the box to boot, with sshd.  I can connect on port 22, and
login prompt appears.  Very messy though, as this was possible only by
copying over /etc from host.

Can't figure out when I'm having to do all this, and why TinyBSD 0.9
doesn't work out-of-the-make.  Or am I on a total tangent?  Jean?
Patrick?  Anybody there?

   Is there any fetch related setting that's preventing the downloads?

  Fetch can be affected by a number of environment variables.  See the
  manuals [fetch(1) and fetch(3)] for more information on that.

  You may find it informative to use fetch from the command line,
  instead of ftp.  If the same problems occur in interactive mode, you
  will probably find it much easier to determine why.

It does seem like a fetch issue.  To the same server URL part, FTP
works, but fetch fails.  I'll investigate this further when doing the
next port installation, as for now I've got all the ports I need and
have a difficult schedule.

Thanks for your tip Lowell.
