OpenBSD's cure for insomnia
Dear Theo and Co. Thank you very much for the new ACPI code. Seriously, thank you. My netbook finally sleeps, having sat uselessly in a drawer nearly a year waiting for this day. Thanks for the WPA support too. Time to buy a 4.8 set. Michael
OGD1 graphics board available to an interested dev
I couldn't help but notice that the Linux Fund/BSD Fund folks are giving away an OGD1 dual-head, FPGA-based graphics device to interested developers who is willing to port its tools (in C), xorg driver and come up with novel uses such as cryptography.

Acer 1410 4.8 beta sleep issue: no keyboard after wake
Hello all, I've submitted a summary, dmesg info and sensor info to dmesg@ but perhaps someone has a quick fix? An Acer Aspire 1410/1810t Notebook with the August 3rd amd64 ISO snapshot will suspend but upon wake, the keyboard will only allow console switching. All other input is ignored either from the built-in keyboard or a USB keyboard. Kernel messages such as the keyboard insertion appear. If suspended from X11, keyboard input will go to the error console but not be interpreted by the shell. Any suggestions? So close!

Re: RouterBOARD RB600A support
there are bad news about RB600A. As everybody can read on MicroTik's website, RB600A has suddenly been discontinued: http://www.routerboard.com/pricelist.php?showProduct=55 They also removed the case for this board. Why did this happen? The board is a four year old design that was later reavealed by the chip maker that it could have been 2X the speed. MT suggest the RB800 but it costs more money and is indeed not binary compatible. The RB600A is a variation on a reference design that was modified for volume production. MT products change and are well below $100 for MIPS-based systems. As of last week, a vendor in the US and the MT office in Riga had about 20 units at reasonable prices. Mail me off-list for details on any of these points. Actually, maybe it was space aliens. Or at least illegal alien Latvians living in Chicago... Michael

Re: OpenBSD Volunteer needed today in Los Angeles - Solved!
In my own opinion EAL level 4 cert has some serious issues. A lot of what you get is Process and Procedure done by some large corporate entity. What you find is code revs rarely go through certification. For example Cisco ASA / Pix have to run pretty old code to get EAL 4 cert. my US$.02 worth If the EAL level X rubber stamp with travel cost only $.02, how far would OpenBSD be from compliance?

Re: Old EmBSD docs
Nonsense. Many new embedded boards have limited flash memory soldered on. I think most of the developers are tired of seeing people shoot themselves in the foot then show up on the list complaining about blood loss. Pointing out that some people might have a justification for inflicting pain upon themselves only encourages harmful behavior. I was incorrect about the example product. My error. However, the paradox remains: arguably the best routing OS available requires blood loss on the most cost-effective routing hardware available. Fortunately, it remains the best none the less and the blood loss is acceptable. Keep up the good work. Michael.
Re: Old EmBSD docs
here's a better idea: just use a standard install. It is very difficult to buy a 1G flash media anymore that isn't covered in dust, so it is hard (if not nearly impossible) to justify building a crippled system anymore. Nonsense. Many new embedded boards have limited flash memory soldered on. Michael.
Re: OpenBSD support of EFI?
In reading through the recent Intel Mac Mini thread, I'm confused by what appears to OpenBSD's support? OpenBSD now supports EFI? Or is EFI have some compatibility mode with the older BIOS standard? If the broader question is does OpenBSD work on the Mac mini x86? The answer is yes. Simply updating the firmware under OS X should make installation go smoothy. I have used it with the standard OpenBSD boot loader but have not yet tried dual booting with OS X. Holding down the option key will probably allow the firmware to see an OS X partition and boot from it. May people reportedly use rEFIt as an alternative loader: http://refit.sourceforge.net/ GRUB can also be used with some caveats (I learned this at 03:00 this morning and thought I would interject). I have not verified this with the GRUB in ports but the one in NetBSD's pkgsrc is not mac mini friendly. It can be patched if you are adventurous: http://www.scl.ameslab.gov/Projects/mini-xen/grub-a20.patch Else you can pull stage2 from a working Linux live CD such as a recent Ubuntu and install it with the 'grub' or 'grub-install' utilities. A system using GRUB may also need to have a root partition of under 512MB in size. A GRUB is a bug after all... Michael.
WPA hardware workaround, for what it's worth
Hello all, For those who urgently need WPA-enabled wireless support on OpenBSD... The D-Link DWL-G730AP portable router is small, USB-powered and in Client mode can connect to a wireless network using WPA and provide an EtherNet LAN with DHCP. It's top drawback is that the configuration interface requires a JavaScript-enabled browser. lynx in base cannot be used to configure it but it will remember its configuration should you often have OpenBSD guests on a given network. They retail for about $52 US on up. Michael.
UFS2 status in 4.3?
Hello, I didn't see any mention of changes to UFS2 support in 4.3: http://www.openbsd.org/43.html#new Will it still require a kernel recompilation to use? Perhaps no? http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/conf/GENERIC?v=OPENBSD Is it bootable? Thanks, Michael.
Re: What is our ultimate goal??
By this, I mean, developers *are* working on improving the features currently offered by OpenBSD. In general people work on things which they will find the most useful first. Sometimes this matches up with what you want, other times it doesn't. Are they willing to take a suggestions from the users side? Ask them. However, you will get far further with suggestions backed by a solid understanding of each issue, plus funding. The benefits of a broad yet shallow feature set can be found in most alternative operating systems and you are welcome to use them. Michael.
hw.setperf in marketing speak?
Hello all, Can someone tell me what marketing speak to look for to determine if a motherboard supports hw.setperf and apmd -C/A CPU speed regulation?

OpenBSD on ASUS eee pc 701 notes/caveats
Hello all, For want of information about running OpenBSD on the ASUS eee pc 701, I have had access to a 4GB with camera but no modem model and have some things to report: You can Google for those that may or may not have the empty Mini-PCIe slot. The machine is literally mini ASUS notebook, bios and all with the notable exception that it uses Hynix NAND flash memory that uses a Silicon Motion SM223 interface to make it appear as an ATA interface (wd0). The machine is very USB friendly and it appears you can boot to any of its USB interfaces or the SD slot. (Not SDIO for use with wlan etc.) On boot, hit Esc for the BBS POPUP menu which will allow you to choose what USB (and probably internal SD flash) device you want to boot to. BIOS is at F2 but the BBS POPUP saves many trips to it. Note that your device of choice may or may not show up by name. My CD drive was sometimes but not always named in the list. Choosing what sounded like the SD slot would allow booting to the external CD Drive. I booted from a USB CD-Rom and installed 4.2 to a Lexar 2MB memory stick that appeared as sd0, leaving the internal flash drive untouched. It boots and works, with a few caveats: - It's still an Intel-based product and a wimpy-sounding fan may come on when you aren't doing much. - The Atheros 10/100 LAN does not appear to be supported. I resorted to USB LAN (Linksys url0). - The Azure AW-GE780 ath0 wlan reports: ark5k_ar5212_nic_wakeup: failed to resume the AR5212 (again) ath0: ath_chan_set: unable to reset channel 4 (2427 MHz) - I had to enable ath0 under the included OS, watch for the light on the case. - There's only one mouse button. - startx started fine but left some artifacts on-screen. I didn't experiment further. - The included glove is a plus. - The high-resolution video should be good for presentations. - hw.setperf is supported. - zzz does not seem to fully suspend it though I am not an apm/acpi/etc wiz. - The pearl color one requires at least one Hello Kitty sticker. I have included the dmesg below and send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I hope someone finds this useful and I may be able to answer specific questions. Michael.

Re: compat_freebsd shared library showstopper UPDATE
Hello all, For the handful of you who care about compat_freebsd, here is a update on this situation: compat_freebsd has been broken in late 3.x's up through 4.1 but is fixed in CURRENT. A 4.2 snapshot from the 7th appears to work and I am trying to determine if there is a patch that can be applied to 4.1. A PR does not appear to have been opened. Should anyone know where the mmap fix was made, I would appreciate hearing it. I have done many searches of cvsweb and looked in some likely places but have not found it. Note that the freebsd_lib is unlikely to be responsible for the issue as it simply includes some libraries, ldconfig and sets the sysctl.

Did I try FreeBSD 5.5 binaries given that the man page referrs to 5.0? Check. Failed... they all seem to have dynamic library dependencies. Anything else I should try? Does anyone have compat_freebsd working? Many thanks, Michael.
Re: booteasy fate?
Don't beat a dead horse. This should do whatever you need: http://gag.sourceforge.net/ 1. That's not an answer to my question. 2. Alas, gag does not appear to offer a command line tool that can pre-choose an alternative boot slice prior to remote reboot. I'm looking for something along the lines of FreeBSD's boot0cfg and am looking into porting it. I recall Marco mentioning that fdisk can be used to choose slices or something. Will investigate. Don't get me wrong, lots of icons is nice and all for some situations. Michael.
booteasy fate?
Hello, I have found references to: /pub/OpenBSD/3.6/tools/booteasy suggesting that it was part of the distribution but I do not see it listed for 3.7 and newer. I do not see a 3.7 changelist entry for it and I the online man pages to not seem to refer to it. From the looks however, it was an official OpenBSD boot manager. I fold! What was it and what happend to it? Thanks, Michael.
Is the PERL in base stock?
Hello, From what I can tell, the PERL used in OpenBSD is stock: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/ Could someone confirm or deny this? Is it reviewed or hardened in any way? Thanks, Michael.
fdisk automation scripts? Autopartition?
Hello, Might anyone have any pointers to sources of fdisk automation scripts for OpenBSD that that can determine the size of a disk and follow a set of partitioning guidelines? Scenario: cookie-cutter systems with different drive sizes. Options like use the remainder for /usr are always handy. Thanks, Michael.
Any CAPP/OpenBSM work being done? (Controlled Access Protection Profile)
Hello, Robert Watson of the kernel cross-reference and other fame gave an impromptu yet compelling presentation at EuroBSDCon about his CAPP (Controlled Access Protection Profile) and OpenBSM work on FreeBSD and Darwin and I am curious if any work is being done to implement/import this work into OpenBSD. I found the log and audit at all costs approach of CAPP/BSM most interesting: whereas any user can pump just about any data into syslog, CAPP/BSM dictates for example that a system must optionally slow down to accommodate incoming logging and in fact halt if it cannot accept more. This is a bit extreme but maps out just about any level of paranoia and is the new target for some government systems. The paper: http://www.trustedbsd.org/20060303-ukuug2006lisa-audit.pdf Best regards, Michael Dexter
