How to mark an interace as 'down' at boot time?
Trivial question, Is there an rc.conf way to mark a network interface as being 'down' at boot time? I could do it with a cron job, or a kernel rebuild, but I thought there'd be some nifty rc.conf syntax. I tried this: ifconfig_bge0=down The interface is marked as down in the dmesg output, but it's still up when the boot cycle completes. -Modulok- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Not plugging a cable in generally makes the OS believe the NIC is down. You can tell the OS the i/f shouldn't be configured by: ifconfig_bge0=NOAUTO but that will probably still leave the i/f up if a cable is attached. In this case, you could try using both of: ifconfig_bge0=down ipv6_ifconfig_bge0=ifdisabled down (rc.conf syntax for IPv6 is different in CURRENT, but I assume you're not using that.)

These numbers represent the number of people that have installed a program to report usage, and are almost completely uncorrelated with actual usage rates. There needs to be a big warning at the top of these very misleading reports. Also, the massive spam to many different lists is not ideal. Any guess at actual usage numbers would be many orders of magnitude larger, and PC-BSD would be a rounding error to other BSDs used in large hosting environments (nothing against the great work being done by PC-BSD, just a fact based on desktop vs server focus). I continue to believe that sending out these numbers which massively undercount all operating systems is very counter-productive, but I've said that before. If you want to get better numbers you could try to survey all web servers on the internet, identify the host operating systems by server responses, tcp/ip timing characteristics, or other heuristics. You could alternatively mine google analytics / webserver log data for large websites if you want client numbers, or countless other data sources that would give you far more data than this self reporting mechanism, and with a much better sample than the very biased mechanism used for these numbers. - Murray ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: how to mark a slice bootable using command line
I'm still stuck with this.. C'mon folks, there must be someone who knows how to do sysinstalls 'Set Bootable' command using command line. It all comes down to: I got four slices containing a FreeBSD installation. I can only boot the first. Hitting F2, F3 or F4 in the bootmanager gives me a beep, nothing more. If I run sysinstall, choose Configure, Fdisk, da0, hit the 'S' key (Set Bootable) once for every slice and write those Changes I can boot into any of those installations. Now I have read the man pages for fdisk and bsdlabel a couple of times, still I cannot figure out how to set this bootable flag using those tools (not that I didn't try all kinds of things like writing bootstrap code, setting active partitions, etc...). There must be a way to do this without sysinstall!? Sadly my knowledge in C is more than limited... I can see that sysinstall does 'chunk_info[current_chunk]-flags |= CHUNK_ACTIVE;' when I hit the S key but that's about it. Any pointer would be very much appreciated.

Trouble installing Endeavour Mark 2 from source.
I decided to give up on Konquer as a file manager (sucks royally anyways) and switch to Endeavour. The version 1.x is kinda lame so I went to try and install the Mark II 2.x version from the source on the homepage. It won't install. I did what it said to do for freebsd and configure said that all was good minus an option file that was missing. So I went and did Make All like it said and it complained about 2 key files missing. So I go up into the Endeavour directory and tried to build it directly from there. It says that the first file it wants to build is missing. Can anyone help me get this installed? Or do I have to write the ports people to have them do a port of this for the ports tree? I'd realy like to start using this soon if possible.
