SSH Access To Live CD? (Was Re: FBSD-9.0-RC3 Disk 1 ISO Bootable?)

Has the FreeSBIE (Free BSD live CD) project been phased out?
I have been trying to get to their page for more than a day ~ http://www.freebsd.org/where.html ~ FreeSBIE: http://www.freesbie.org/ ~ Maybe you can help me out anyway. Basically I would like to know if the latest release of FreeSBIE has a fromhd or bootfrom option from which you could start it based on an ISO image and free the CD-ROM/DVD player for whichever purpose you want. ~ Also I would like to experiment with DTrace using FreeBSD.

Live CD
Greetings - I've got a new Netbook I'm itching to install FreeBSD on, and would prefer to avoid hassles by testing out the hardware with a LiveCD first. FreeSBIE seemed like an appropriate choice, but the website is out of commission, and what I read on the web seems to indicate the project is no longer maintained. There's the FreeBSD Live CD project, run by a Brazilian users' group, but it looks more complicated than I'd prefer. And I just discovered, through a posting on the Daemon Forums, the RoFreeSBIE project, run by some Romanians. Where to start? I'm aware of the FreeBSD integrated fixit mode, but that's not what I'm looking for. I am looking for the FreeBSD equivalent of Knoppix Linux, which will run a graphical desktop and give me an idea if FreeBSD can work with my Atom dual core processor, Intel onboard NIC and Wireless, the dinky little webcam, and so on, even hardware that I wouldn't be able to identify by name in order to search the web for info. Has anybody had good or bad experiences with any of the above methods? A search of recent posts from this mailing list turned up precious little, and the RoFreeSBIE site looks very interesting. That's probably where I would start, but like I said, I'm curious to see if anyone on this list has had experience and would like to make recommendations. Otherwise, I'll let you know how it goes! ___ 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

Fixit mode (live CD): can't find /etc/rc.conf
On my recently updated (as in world+ports are up-to-date) FreeBSD 6.4 box i tried to get Xorg running, and after building Xorg from ports and enabling hald and dbus in rc.conf, I get: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode This happens when I boot. Now I'm trying to not start hald and dbus in rc.conf (I think that's what's causing the kernel problem). So I am using the installation CD and going into fixit mode. The problem is that I can't find rc.conf to edit. In /dev: ad0 ad0s1 ad0s1a ad0s1b ad0s1c ad0s1d ad0s1e ad0s1f I tried mounting all of these, and I realized that one of them is /usr and the other one must be /. Seemed that most of the files were there, except for /etc. It's missing altogether. fixit# mount /dev/ad0s1d /mnt fixit# cd /mnt fixit# find . -type f -name rc.conf I tried this with all of the devices above and cannot find it. Like I said I cannot find /etc at all. BTW it would be nice if I could fix the underlying kernel page fault issue, anyone know how? Uninstall Xorg is one way I guess. ___ 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

Feedback for live CD
Some weeks ago, if I read the thread correctly, the committer who works on the live CD side of the installation media requested feedback for odd bits that don't behave correctly in the fixit environment. I find that 'scp' won't run because it can't find /usr/bin/ssh. The workaround is 'ln -s /dist/usr/bin /usr/bin' This is when I boot from a 6.0-RELEASE CD. If this has already been addressed in later versions, please excuse the noise. I don't have a 6.2 CD at hand to test with.

Which live CD for recovery
Hi: Which live CD is recommended for recovery? What I'd like is to have as many disk analysis tools at hand just in case. The case is that I am not recovering a FBSD system but Windows XP (*sigh*). After trying to help a friend clean her pc for virus it won't boot, even in safe mode... ps. I believe one of two things has happened: the anti virus placed a system file in the vault, or running windows update the genuine windows disadvantage tool disabled the system because it may have been pirate (don't know). So, I need to recover data to some other machine, and then see if I can recover the system file without a full reinstall.

Re: Which live CD for recovery
Which live CD is recommended for recovery? What I'd like is to have as many disk analysis tools at hand just in case. There are a lot to choose from, as you can see from this list: http://www.frozentech.com/content/livecd.php I believe one of two things has happened: the anti virus placed a system file in the vault, or running windows update the genuine windows disadvantage tool disabled the system because it may have been pirate (don't know). AFAIK the Windows Genuine Advantage never prevents you from booting your machine. It will annoy you with pop-ups about your license (or lack of it). Fortunately, you can disable the pop-ups. Keep in mind that a non-legit Windows machine can only perform the Security updates, but cannot perform the other Windows Updates. This can be confusing for a technologically challenged user. So, I need to recover data to some other machine, and then see if I can recover the system file without a full reinstall. Do you have a USB drive? Can you mount it on the crippled Windows Box? If so, then I would suggest that you backup the user's data, format the crippled box's disk drive and do a clean Windows install. After all, there probably was a virus on this box. Are you sure you want to take chances?

If you can get the machine to mount the USB drive or have it's network
connection online, you can simply backup the contents of
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users
C:\Documents and Settings\${username} (replace ${username} with the
various usernames configured on the crippled box).
Once you backup the content of those two directories, you should have
all of your user's data. Therefore you should be ok to wipe the disk
and perform a clean Windows install.
I suggest, however, that you upload those backup onto another Windows
machine and have your user double-check to see if you have everything.
Better be safe than sorry.
Cheers,
David

Making a FreeBSD live CD
Hi! I have setup and configured my machine with FBSD 5.4. Now I am thinking to make all the OS to a Live CD and use my hard drive for mysql, web and mail data and swap of course. Now I allready have two HDD where on first is OS and on second my data as stated before. After it would be nice to boot the system with CD only. Is this possible and if it is, how to make it?

How can I programatically eject a live cd?
Hi all - I've built a live CDROM based off of the cdroot package and 4.x. It's designed to be popped into a machine, wipe the hard drive, install a custom image, and that's it. Everything works great with one exception. I would *love* to be able to have the CDROM automatically eject when it's finished (and/or shutdown). This way a user could power on a headless box, pop in the cd, reboot, let it's do it's thing and know it was done when the CDROM ejected. I know the drives can do it because I've seen some other CD's (most recent a seagate disk utility) do it. But the closest I can come is: cdcontrol -f acd0 eject and then I can press the eject button and it will eject. This is fine for me, but I don't want the people doing this to have to know to wait for the disk lights to stop. Any suggestions?

RE: live cd login
Your post is so short, and without any description of what you were doing, or any background to set the stage. So I am taking a shot in the dark here. You just installed FBSD and on the first boot of the system you are presented with the login prompt, and you are clueless about what it means. All UNIX like systems have an master, or god like user login account which has unlimited powers on the system. This account is called root. During the install one of the questions you answered was to assign an password to the root account. After booting your system when the login prompt is displayed enter the word root and hit enter, then enter the password you assigned during the install and you are in the system as the god of the box.
