Re: Need some help building bootcrunch

2012-05-30 Thread Rick Miller
I changed some things around in the bootcrunch.conf and got it to
work.  It was building 'fetch'.  I moved -lfetch before -lmd and it
compiled fine.

Need some help building bootcrunch

2012-05-30 Thread Rick Miller
Hi All,

I am attempting to build a bootcrunch file that I will inject into an
mfsroot.  I'm unable to get it built completely and hoping someone
might be able to help me identify the issue.

crunchgen runs and exits without issue.  Running make fails with the
following error indicating it's not able to find, presumably, libmd
which exists.

System crashed need some help troubleshooting

2009-09-09 Thread Graeme Dargie
Hi All,

 

 

I have a server in the house that has been running away fine, I noticed
today that it had rebooted 17hours or so ago, looking a little further
it also looks like it had rebooted around 23hours previously.

 

 

 

panic: kmem_malloc(131072): kmem_map too small: 505761792 total
allocated

cpuid = 0

Uptime: 23h56m0s

I found the above in the /var/log/dmesg.yesterday 

 

 

I could use some advice on how to troubleshoot on what is going on with
this machine.

This is normal.

That's because the source address has allready been rewritten by natd, so 
your rule about a specific host in your network doesn't apply anymore.
Try moving this rule before the divert rule in your ipfw config.

I'm no IPFW expert, but it seems to me that the packets are already in
and NAT'd. Then they're being redirected internally. Thus being
"allowed from 'you' to any" (Don't take this explanation as true. It's
merely my understanding from the brief look at the link Mr, Barber
sent you, which you read . . . right?)

Two suggestions for getting more specific help:

1) Look around on the web. There appear to be many discussion about
IPFW and NAT. (eg.,
http://freebsd.rogness.net/redirect.cgi?basic/nat.html).

2) Post your ruleset. This way, folk will know what to "alter."

IPFW: Need some help

2009-06-28 Thread Anton

   Hello all,

   I'm new to *nix and now, while configuring IPFW Firewall on FreeBSD
   7.2 = has stuck in a problem:

   After packet from my network is passed to natd demon - it is returning
   t= o firewall (it is normal, as I think ;-) ), but I see another
   abnormal thin= g: when it is returned to firewall, it does not come
   under rule which state= s to allow packet from some host in my
   network, and goes under rule which a= llows packets from FreeBSD box.

   I.e.: packet from 192.168.0.2, directed to 86.57.250.18 comes to
   freebsd= box. First, it comes to rule, which NATs it to interface ng0.
   Then, after = NAT rule, there is rule, which allows packet flow from
   192.168.0.2 to 86.57= .250.18 out via ng0. But, IPFW does not show,
   that any packet is allowed by= this rule - is rather shows that
   packets are allowed by another rule: allo= w all from me to any.

   Need help in explaining in this problem, and how to alter the things
   in = the way i need it (if it is real)

It's quite difficult to tell which rule catches your packets without the
ruleset. Try this:

1) Add "log" to all block rules
2) Check you have keep state in pass rules
3) Check you have quick in your pass rules

If you have a default block policy, then you should generally have quick
in pass rules or you might have packets marked for passing being caught
later by a block rule.

I generally prefer having the default policy at top without quick, and
then set quick on rules taking an explicit action.

Cheers, Erik




Okay, I got it working.  On the client, the rule is
pass out quick on $EXT_IF inet proto tcp from $EXT_IF to $SERVER port
7721 keep state

and on the server, it's just the opposite
pass in quick on $EXT_IF inet proto tcp from $CLIENT to $EXT_IF port
7721 keep state

The only difference between that rule and the one I had earlier
includes a "flags S/SA" directive on each.  Of course now I just tried
adding the flags and it works...I'm guessing because the state was
already made.

If I add "flags S/SA" is there any reason that'd cause problems.  It
seems to work fine right now, but didn't earlier - though perhaps I
had a typo or something.

Hi,

This'll do:

EIF=eif # external interface
HOSTA=12.34.56.78   # host A
HOSTB=87.65.43.21   # host B

# These lines go on host A
pass in  quick on $EIF from $HOSTB to $EIF port 1234
pass out quick on $EIF from $EIF to $HOSTB port 1234

# These lines go on host B
pass in  quick on $EIF from $HOSTA to $EIF port 1234
pass out quick on $EIF from $EIF to $HOSTA port 1234


Put those lines somewhere at the beginning of your pf.conf files. Also,
if I may add, this is very basic and you should consult/read/learn PF's
guide.


Cheers,
Mikhail.

First of all: it is absolutely possible to install a basic
FreeBSD on this kind of hardware. I never had any problems with
mitsumi cd-drives.
Do you have a possibility to check if the cd drive still works
correctly? (Perhaps with windows or on a different machine?)

I have two harddrives 260 and 349mb.
I am booting with the kern and mfsroot floppies.
I can get everything right and working following the documentation on 
the site up to making the root,swap,...etc.
But when I finish this and the installation begins I get an error about 
no such device or media.
It appears that the program can't find my cd-rom drive.
It is a rather old 24x mitsumi cd-rom drive and it is set as slave to

I cannot find a solution on this site.
What should I do,where do I begin.
Have you got any other suggestion considering my pc.

By the way what kind of userinterface will I get with a minimum install??

In addition, FreeBSD Unleashed and Annalise Anderson's FBSD book both 
contain good step-by-step guides. I prefer Anderson's instructions to 
the other two, but only by a very small margin. I wouldn't hesitate to 
use either the handbook or FreeBSD Unleashed.

Hi Eric,

Reading the FreeBSD handbook on the FreeBSD website should give you a
fairly comprehensive walk-through of upgrading your system.

The exact link is this:

Hope this helps.

In my mind, it would really make sense for FreeGeek to standardize on
FreeBSD.  I use the word "standardize" in both a figurative and literal
sense.  Right now they are migrating from Mandrake to Debian and it has
been a long and arduous change.  Further, it appears to me that
virtually nothing is consistent between the two distros.  The little I
knew about Mandrake can now safely be tossed out the window as I try
vainly to learn the new Debian way of doing things.  I volunteer in the
build area, so I don't deal as much with the software as I do the
hardware.  Thus I am able to get by with a minimal amount of Linux
knowledge, and I make up for the rest with common *nix knowledge. 
However, I will say that I'm always glad to learn something new and I
hope that what I learn from Mandrake and/or Debian will be useful at
some point.  In a broader sense, I enjoy volunteering at FreeGeek, as
I'm always learning some interesting new tid-bit - whether it be
hardware or software.  To top it off, I generally feel good about they
work they doing down there and the part that I play in the organization.
Re: the storage room - yes, it is a very interesting place to poke
around and if you were ardent enough about (old) hardware you could
preen a few fun toys from the recycling area.

quite honestly, i think you are wasting your time working with 286's. even
people who can't afford computers know better than to use a pre Pentium
machine. while you do have a noble cause in mind, you must realize that
286's, even with tweaking, can hardly even run DOS, let alone connect to the
modern internet.
good luck, but you're better using anything less than a 486 as a step stool
or paperweight.

Craig,

I volunteer at an organization here in Portland, OR that generally does
what you are describing.  It is called FreeGeek (www.freegeek.org). 
FreeGeek usually recycles anything less than a Pentium (i.e. 286, 386,
486).  The current processor specification for computers that are put
back out into the community are Pentium 166MHz-233MHz.  The full specs
are at http://www.freegeek.org/freekbox.html.  Believe it or not, we
seem to receive plenty of donated machines that fall into this range. 
FreeGeek is currently installing Debian Linux on these machines.  Trust
me when I tell you that even a P166 with 80MB RAM (72 pin SIMMs) is just
fast enough to make X, Mozilla and a few other applications run
reasonably.  Of course, if you plan to put out non-graphical, text only,
console basesd machines then a lower spec may work for you.  In any
case, if you plan to run X and any sort of browser you probably don't
want to go below a P100, and even this is pushing it a bit.  I've talked
to a few people at FreeGeek about getting FreeBSD on some of the boxes,
but they are too firmly entrenched in Linux.

Good luck,
Nathan

Nothing that works on '286s---only '386s and later.

You might be better off working with something that more closely emulates
MS-DOS.  Check this out.

And good luck.

I need some help...

2002-09-27 Thread C T

To whom it may concern,

My name is Craig and I am in the process of forming a non-profit 
organization that takes old computers (286's etc...), setting them up for 
email, word processing, internet browsing, spread sheets, and them giving 
them to people who can't afford computers.

One of my obstacles is finding an OS package similar to MS-DOS, but doesn't 
cost money.

Does FreeBSD distribute something simple that would operate on older 
machines?

Thank you,
Craig
