 makes me wonder why the system just stopped at root device.

This likely means the kernel has not found the device you are booting
from. You can get a list of available disk and network devices by typing

?

at the root device: prompt. Show the list here and tell us what device
you booted from (most likely: wd0, the first sata disk, so boot device should
be wd0a).

Sometimes it may help to power off the machine (that is no problem at this
point), wait a minute and retry cold. If this would make it work, it is
still a bug (and you should file a PR).

NetBSD Security Advisory 2014-006

2014-06-16 Thread Ray Phillips
Since there aren't going to be binaries containing the latests fixes 
to ssh on nyftp.netbsd.org for a while, would someone post step by 
step instructions to get the updated source code, compile it and 
replace the faulty pieces of NetBSD please?  The advisory just says 
Update src and rebuild and install. which is a bit too vague for me.


The machines I'm responsible for are running NetBSD/i386 6.1.4.  It 
seems the latest vulnerabilites are serious enough that machines 
shouldn't be left running with them, so I'd rather not wait until 
6.1.5 is released to repair them.

So you probably want:
cvs checkout -d anon...@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot co -r netbsd-6-1 -P src
cd src
./build.sh -u -j2 -U release
this should build a distribution, i.e. the base.tgz, comp.tgz, etc ... files
in some subdirectory.

Hi

I've been using sysutils/sysbuild + sysutils/sysbuild-user
from pkgsrc. The package is still broken but only requires
${SYSBUILD_BINDIR=/usr/pkg} to point to /usr/pkg/bin.

I use the default incremental builds which are quite fast
after the first pass. Only downside for me is that each of
my /home/sysbuild/nbsd-ver_arch/ directories needs  20G
disk space. It's probably possible to run multiple 
ver/arch from a single directory but my build pc with 
2G ram ground to a halt with all swap+memory used up.

  
David
