RE: ABS on FreeBSD.
Sorry for the lack of detail earlier. ABS is short for American Business Systems. They produce a character based accounting software that runs on UNIX and Linux machines. Users interact with the system from a dumb-terminal connected to the Unix computer by a serial line or ethernet. I primarily see it being run on SCO UNIX in my area. The latest version of ABS is 7.0 under the charater based software. I want to install a new FreeBSD server and transfer the program from a SCO box onto the FreeBSD box. I have little experience running a terminal program from a UNIX box. So if anybody has any generic info on this that would be helpful. Thanks Ken for the suggestion +++ Joe Joplin [12/11/02 22:10 -0500]: Has anyone ran ABS on a FreeBSD server? If you have what version, and did it take any special configuration? TIA Joe Joe, You'll get more responses if you include a little more detail (like what ABS is, where you get it, and what it does.)

Creating a FreeBSD boot floppy for a failed machine
I am trying to create a boot floppy that I can use to boot a machine that has failed. Once I boot off the floppy I want to mount the hard drive(s) and move any data from the machine to another machine on the network. I tried searching for some information on how to do this, but I was overwhelmed with creating the installation floppies in my search. I did see the commands to boot FreeBSD after booting from a DOS floppy (nb8390.com and nb3c509.com.), but this will not give the support I need for all the different hardware. If anyone could lead me to some information on how to do this I would appreciate it. Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: FreeBSD 4.6 Installation Lockup
Tim, I had a similar problem. I had a SCSI Hard Drive and an IDE Tape Drive in the machine. I had to disconnect the IDE tape drive, before the SCSI hard drive would work. After installation I reattached the Tape Drive and all was well. I hope this helps. Joe - Original Message - From: Tim Strike [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 15, 2002 11:17 AM Subject: FreeBSD 4.6 Installation Lockup I'm attempting to install FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE on several i386 systems (clones) that have dual SCSI and no IDE disks. These systems are currently running an older version of FreeBSD. The installation of 4.6-RELEASE locks shortly after a message regarding ppc0 (something to the effect of ppc0: Parallel port not found), when I think it is looking for disk controllers or disk drives. I've tried booting from floppy (to use a network install), and from both SCSI and IDE CD-ROM. I've tried the ATA workaround on the odd chance that was the problem, but still no luck. Has anyone experienced this kind of problem before? Any ideas on how to either fix it or get more information on what is going wrong (and what it's trying to do just before lockup)? Any help is appreciated. Regards, -ts.
