Re: USING NETBSD ON LINODE?
hello. thanks so much for your reply and the link to your blog post. I'm almost there, but I've run into something that seems very simple, but is currently tripping me up. How do I specify "Direct Disk" as a kernel in the configuration creation or update step? I'm using something like the following to specify the configuration parameters. However, this isn't working. /usr/pkg/bin/linode-cli linodes config-update \ --helpers.updatedb_disabled true \ --label nbsmtp1_bootinstall \ --kernel Direct-Disk \ --devices.sda.disk_id (a) \ --devices.sdb.disk_id (b) I get: Request failed: 400 0xB field 0xB reason 0xB 0xB kernel 0xB No Kernel Found 0xB -thanks -Brian
log1pl missing?
In numpy built via pip (because that's how you have to run homeassistant), it fails with a complaint about log1pl. POSIX says this is part of C99, and was added to POSIX in Issue 6: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/log1pl.html The lack of it was noted 5 years ago: https://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-users/2017/07/21/msg019960.html libm.a on netbsd-9 has: T log1pf T log1p and I see the same in my current destdir build (with netbsd-9 nm :-). But math.h: double log1p(double); float log1pf(float); long double log1pl(long double); Has anyone else been having this problem? Any reason I shouldn't just define it and call log1p, not worrying about those extra bits, to get around this (in my local build)? Anyone up for doing it right? signature.asc Description: PGP signature

NetBSD still flies under the radar of most people I think. I've got a system that's been running NetBSD for 20 years now, it just works. Andy

Been running NetBSD on Linode since 2013 and have been through various transitions: i386 to amd64; XEN to KVM. instructions on how to build a custom image for uploading? My approach has always been to use the install image to install onto a Linode raw disk. This post is dated, but the overall technique is valid: https://atomicules.co.uk/2017/06/11/NetBSD-under-KVM-on-Linode.html If you have no luck figuring it out from that I could walk through a fresh install and update the steps... assuming I can find the time.
