That's just a safety precaution against users that don't know the limits and dangers of writing to an NTFS volume. You can still pop open a terminal and re-mount it RW by hand, although I would suggest running clam (that's what you're using, right?), and if you FIND a virus, mount it RW and either remove it by hand or run clam again again allow clam to clean up the mess then. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: bootable CD error while installing 5.2..
When you burn the mini.iso file to cd your burner software has to be able to uncompress the .iso file and write and the uncompressed data as an data cd. You may need a MS/Windows program that can burn ISO files to cdrom. I used Nero from www.nero.com . The downloadable nero demo work just fine to do what you have to do to create your FBSD mini install cdrom. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of hay Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2004 6:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: bootable CD error while installing 5.2..

Hi, Am really interested in having a go at doing this myself. Can you point me to a readme or faq to get me started ... I'm afriad not. I couldn't find anything about the topic; I had to invent most of it by just knowing how the startup process works, and how to burn bootable images. If I can make headway, I may try and do an article or something, but for now there isn't anything out there I can find.

Re: Bootable CD Problems
Well it depends on how you've done the bootable CD. I havent played with one since about 4.6.2, but I believe someone portedthe LIVECD-1.2 to english from portugues which would have made things easier. The MFSROOT is specified in the kernel you put on the CD, so it depends what you have it set as, and how you've stored your information on the CD. I always had problems trying to compile the MFSROOT into the kernel itself so hacked it around by loading the file system in through the boot loader instead. That's interesting. Do you remember how you did it? So depends how you've built it, and what/where its failing. I can't really tell; that's the problem. As I said before, it says Mount root file system from cd9660:acd0 and then hangs without any more messages. I read the things another guy posted which apparently is evidence for a buffer overrun or something like that, but I'm not sure. Id recommend just grabbing the LiveCD stuff Fugspbr made. It worked fairly simply for me, though track down the english version, as I know there is one around somewhere. http://www.fugspbr.org is the original Brasilians that made a liveCD building script. I went to the site, and they sent me to their archives. I found a link to sourceforge, but I can't read any of it. Are you sure there is an English version anymore? Anyway, I would like to know how you loaded the filesystem in through the boot loader if you could tell me; this may be a solution for me. -- Signed, Dan Harrison ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I tried to install 5.1-release and got i running - the error occurred, still. Where 4.8 just hung, 5.1 did manage to give me some more info: the problem is ATA timeouts for my CD. This seemed to be a problem for many ppl out there, and not once I came by aworking answer. At boot time, after probing the HDs, its time for the CD, but it hangs for a while, then following error messages start to appear. They appear anything from 10 to 30 times before the computer boots up. acd0: read data overrun 34/0 acd0: MODE_SENSE_BIG command timeout - resetting ata1: resetting devices... done This problem seemed to come along 4.6RC2, and it's errdata sure has it mentioned. The fixes there did not work on my computer, thou. I have tried to play with sysctl and device.hints, and dis/enabling UDMA support in BIOS, adjusting cables etc., all in vain. The problem seems to be with particular CDROM brands, as one older Toshiba worked fine. Should I make a bug report out of this? It seems like a big problem to many, without any fixes. Is it a bug in the driver? My computer is a MSI6330(KT133) mainboard, 30Gb UDMA100 HD as primary disk in ata0-master, 10 Gb UDMA66 slave in ata0-slave where FreeBSD resides (master has Win98 and FreeBSD boot manager), and HP CD-Writer 8200i CD-RW in ata1-master. When adjusting the device.hints I got FreeBSD to get it as UDMA33, as it should. I don't need the CD in FreeBSD (but it wouldn't hurt to have it either), so the only harm in this is that the booting takes forever. I don't want to disable anything from BIOS, because I use it in Windows, and I don't want to restrict it's use/efficiency.
