Ray Thank you for the info. If you like to read, you can hack through my sob story: I have gotten this reference in a query on this issue when I first assembled the board and did not get the two interfaces to show up. I did retrieve the code from this link but I decided against it for the time being. I have not worked with the kernel yet and am trying to get this server up and running. It has been a real circus to date. First I thought PCIe slots would use my 64 bit SCSI card, no way. I had to buy the ASUS board because it was he only AMD64 board I could find with PCIx slots. And because the ASUS board did not have a AMD 939 socket, I had to buy another processor for AM2 socket and I had to then buy DDR2 memory because the ASUS board required it. So I now have one Gigabyte motherboard and AMD64 939 processor and a Gb of DDR memory I cannot use. I then discovered the problem with the onboard inet interfaces. Now I am having serious trouble getting Apache 1.3.37 and php 5 to work together, They won't because for some reason libphp5.so is not being produced when php is configured, built and installed. That is another issue. All I really would like to know at this point is how to get fwe0 to load in a different order so I can eliminate that as a problem or solve it. I am working on a very large php project and if I cannot get php to work with Apache on this machine it is all in vain. Yes I know about ports, and yes I have been greeted with disdain on this list because I have been bypassing ports to install this stuff from source. I have done it successfully on two other FreeBSD Machines with FBSD 6.0 Apache 1.3.34 and php 5.1.2. On this machine I have FBSD 6.2, Apache 1.3.37 and have tried php5.2.1 and 5.1.2 and have had the same problem. I am suspecting either the apxs script with Apache or something in the FBSD install with make or autoconf. But I am not a computer scientist. So now that I have bent your ear all the way around your head. How do I tell FreeBSD to load interface drivers in a different order or is it really an issue?

Re: Order of installation for Apache, PHP, IMAP, and MySQL
Jose Borquez wrote: I need to install and configure Apache, PHP, IMAP, and MySQL because I would like to install Group Office which is a groupware application sweet. I need to know if there is a specific order that I need to install the applications listed above. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, Jose Installing PHP (/usr/ports/lang/php$n) will pull in Apache 1.3 by default, and client libraries for IMAP support and MySQL support when you install (/usr/ports/lang/php$n-extensions). I'm assuming though, that you mean an IMAP *server* and a MySQL *server*; in which case I'd do either of those first, and followup with PHP and php-extensions. In any case, installing should be as simple as moving to the appropriate directory under /usr/ports, and typing (as root) "make install clean" at a command prompt. Although it'll be boring, I'd suggest sitting in the general vicinity of your terminal, as, if this is a fresh install, you will be prompted for configuration by a "curses" mode options menu. You can, however, get around this by doing all your config on the command-line; but that's a rather lengthy command string, and might take almost as much time to discover all the perfect values for. The good news: should you desire to reinstall the apps, the configuration should be saved for you. See ports(7) for more information.

If you're going to create separate partitions for /boot and /home, it seems that the following order would make sense: / /boot swap /var /tmp /usr /home HOWEVER, given that the default installation of FreeBSD seems to have /home as a link to /usr/home, I'd be highly reluctant to depart from that, and just keep the user home directories where they belong, in /usr/home.

Once you've got the root and swap partitions sorted, how you lay out the rest makes little difference. There are minor gains to be made by placing the most heavily used partitions towards the outer cylinders of the disk, but that doesn't apply on RAID5 or RAID0 (striped) disk arrays, and the amount gained hardly justifies the effort spent tweaking things. Layout is more a matter of individual taste than anything. Two points though: i) Don't put /boot on a separate partition. /boot contains stuff that is essential for booting the system, and as such *has* to be part of the root filesystem. ii) It's not so much the order of creation of the partitions that counts, but the order they lie across the drive. You don't even have to make the b, d, e, f, g, h partitions lie in cylinder order, although it would be perverse to shuffle them around arbitrarily. Putting the root 'a' partition anywhere except starting at cylinder 1 is asking for trouble though -- this is one of those conventions that practically has the force of law.

Is this meant to be or should there be a second stage for this mount, just like nfs mounts which are deferred until after the network is up. I saw it is documented in one line in 'man fstab', that order is important, but not many examples about this. Running 5.2-BETA cvsupped today on P-II 400Mhz (UP), 256 MB, IDE. It still fails with: mfs: mdconfig (attach) exited with error code 1 Mounting /etc/fstab filesystems failed, startup aborted Any hints? Same experiences?
