Just in case: sorry for possible offtopic... FreeBSD 5.1 stops on install in VMWare Workstation (3.2.0.2230 - release) virtual machine when extracting packages (in arbitrary "places"). When installing 5.1 on Connectix (now MS) Virtual PC (5.1.370) all pass fine. 4.7 installs normally on VMWare-3... I tried various combinations of IDE access modes which VMWare3 BIOS allows - the same problem. Configuration of both VMs (VMWare and VPC) is: - 80 MB RAM; - 4 GB IDE virtual HDD; - virtual CD-ROM (ISO image): installation source. I couldn't check subj with new releases of VMs because my CPU (Intel Pentium-I MMX 266 MHz) doesn't support instructions they using. This is not so big problem, but VMWare ("virtualizator") runs faster than VPC (emulator) does. Has anyone meet this problem?

There's a whole chapter on this in the FreeBSD handbook. That's right, a whole chapter. Look at /usr/share/doc/handbook/creating-cds.html.

One thing I see different in your configuration than in mine is this: >set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 > 0.0.0.0 If you are using PPP and you are doing dynamic IP addressing, I succeed with this, instead: set ifaddr 0 0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 This, of course, would be found in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf. I suggest getting your hands on a copy of The Complete FreeBSD. That book has saved my life many times.

It looks like your box is not seeing the modem. You could try "cu -l cuaa0" for com1, cuaa0 for com2. Then you can try some hayes command from the prompt. Try "ATZ" (reset). "AT" to check OK response". Then try "ATDT12345678" for dialing (the 12345678 is to be replaced with a phone number.) Once you have the right port and you are talking to your modem, then we can look at the ppp.log again.

I have a FreeBSD4.3-release mail server, I need to to upgrade to 4.7-release inorder to configure SMTPAUTH feature. According to the article on internet of http://people.freebsd.org/~jdp/s1g/ For FreeBSE4.3, I need to use cvsup-16.le.tgz. So I downloaded cvsup-16.le.tgz and put it in /usr/db/pkg/ As root user, I use the command #cd /usr/db/pkg # pkg_add cvsup-16.le.tgz Then I cp the ../examples/ports-supfiles to /root/; and vi this file, gave the site name as "cvsup.au.freebsd.org" Then I issue command #cd /root/ #cvsup ports-supfiles I got the error, cvsup: Command not found So it seems my package installation is not very successful. In this case, can you please help out on this?

What are the specific advantages of using a kernel PPP over user PPP? I use the command ppp -ddial papchap. This, I am told, establishes a "stable" connection (i.e reconections are handled automatically). How do I hang up? Just switch the modem off?

I switched my main workstaion over to FreeBSD and found out that the Audigy card wasnt supported by any of the drivers as specified in the handbook. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html After a bit of searching on Google, I came across some promising finds. Firstly there is the OSS drivers, however there not free, then I also came across this site http://chibis.persons.gfk.ru/audigy/ from where I downloaded the file emu10kx-22-june-2003.tar.gz into my user directory. Then I opened up a terminal and logged in as root. I coppied the archive to my /tmp directory # cp /home/myuseraccount/emu10kx-22-june-2003.tar.gz /tmp and unzipped the archive # tar -xvzf emu10kx-22-june-2003.tar.gz then I changed into the directory that had just been unzipped # cd /tmp/emu10kx I then had to compile the driver and install it # make install clean This finished with no errors, and after reading some of the output I noticed it placed a module in /boot/kernel ( I didnt exactly know that the file was a module, but I found this out by Google ) I rebooted thinking that maybe on reboot it would load the driver. After the reboot I did pciconf -l -v which gives me a list of all my pci devices and what driver there using # pciconf -l -v Amongst other information it gave me this none2@pci0:10:0: class=0x040100 card=0x00511102 chip=0x00041102 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Creative Labs' device = 'EMU10K2 Audio Chipset ( SB Audigy ) class = multimedia subclass = audio the part that Im interested in is none2@pci0:10:0 because this tells me that there is no driver attached to the card yet. I remembered reading somewhere that the drivers got loaded as modules, so I found out how to load a module, and I found out what the name of the module was by looking through /boot/kernel until I found the right one , in this case the file is snd_emu10kx.ko, so to load the module I did: # kldload -v snd_emu10kx.ko and to see if the card now had a driver attached I did # pciconf -l -v this time it had emu10kx0@pci0:10:0: class=0x040100 card=0x00511102 chip=0x00041102 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Creative Labs' device = 'EMU10K2 Audio Chipset (SB Audigy)' class = multimedia subclass = audio see this time we can see that the driver is attached to the card. So I rebooted to see if it loaded up at boot. After I rebooted I did pciconf -l -v again, but to my dissapointment it wasnt loaded. After looking for help, I found out that you need to set up /boot/loader.conf file in order for the module to be loaded at boot. There are to versions of the file, one in /boot/ and one in /boot/defaults. The one in /boot is completely empty, so I removed it. Make sure it is empty before you remove it # edit loader.conf file is empty therefore: # cd /boot # rm loader.conf # cp /boot/defaults/loader.conf /boot/ This gives us a file with most of the possible options commented out. This file is similar to /etc/rc.conf in layout, and in the same way that /etc/rc.conf is read by /etc/rc, loader.conf is read by /boot/loader.4th. However by default /boot/loader.4th points to /boot/defaults/loader.conf , so the copy that you made into /boot/ stays unedited whilst the one in /boot/defaults/ is the one that you modify. This is basically the contents of my /boot/defaults/loader.conf file in order to get the Audigy card working exec=".( Loading /boot/loader.conf ) cr" kernel="kernel" # /boot sub-directory containing kernel and modules bootfile="kernel" # Kernel name (possibly absolute path) kernel_options="" userconfig_script_load="NO" userconfig_script_name="/boot/kernel.conf" userconfig_script_type="userconfig_script" loader_conf_files="/boot/device.hints /boot/loader.conf /boot/loader.conf.local /boot/defaults/loader.conf" nextboot_conf="/boot/nextboot.conf" nextboot_enable="NO" verbose_loading="NO" # Set to YES for verbose loader output #autoboot_delay="10" # Delay in seconds before autobooting #console="vidconsole" # Set the current console #currdev="disk1s1a" # Set the current device module_path="/boot/kernel;/boot/modules" # Set the module search path #prompt="\\${interpret}" # Set the command prompt #root_disk_unit="0" # Force the root disk unit number #rootdev="disk1s1a" # Set the root filesystem snd_emu10kx_load="YES" Note that each has its section in the loader.conf file , anything else in the file I left commented out. After editing the file, I rebooted my system, and when it finished booting I logged in as root and did # pciconf -l -v and the output I received was emu10kx0@pci0:10:0: class=0x040100 card=0x00511102 chip=0x00041102 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Creative Labs' device = 'EMU10K2 Audio Chipset (SB Audigy)' class = multimedia subclass = audio However I still didnt have sound, when I did a dmesg I found that my Audigy card was attached to the pcm1 device node, this is because I had until now been using the onboard sound wich was attached to pcm0. All I did to fix this was reboot and go into the bios settings and disable onboard sound, when it rebooted and went into FreeBSD I had sound through my Audigy card. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This How to was written by David Lodeiro.

I want to use sendmail (it is available as a package). I have a few questions to ask. 1. This is a standalone machine at home, I don't have any network cards. Do I need one? I can connect to the net using user PPP. 2. Being totally ignorant of networking, I disabled as much of networking as possible. ( I did a standard install). Do I need to have such thigs as DNS configured. 3. What about giving my computer a name - do I have to do that + do I have to give myself an IP address. 4. Any other networking detail? I am reading FreeBSD Unleashed which is quite detailed and helpful. I tried to look at the handbook, but what it says I need to read the networking chapter first, which makes no sense to me. Please help me out. Thanks in advance... keshav ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends? Get the FREE Yahoo!

The first is a "block" device, the second is a "character" or "raw" device. Traditionally, UNIX systems have had both block and character devices for everything. But FreeBSD-5.x has made everything a block device, so that rfd0 no longer exists. "The Complete FreeBSD", latest edition, talks some more on this. It used to be that your needed to use character devices for anything that was unformatted or "raw". For example, you could only create a filesystem on a character device, but could only mount a block device filesystem. Thus formatting a floppy would require /dev/rfd0, and a lot of documentation still has this. But formatting /dev/fd0 in FreeBSD-5.x works.

My old hard drive with Win98 died and I just got a new 40GB for my = laptop so I decided to install FreeBSD instead . In trying to install on my Toshiba Satellite 2545XCDT I couldn't get it = to boot the FreeBSD CDROM. I did change the option to boot from = floppy/hd/cdrom to cdrom/floppy/hd. I created the Kernel and MFS floppies per the instructions in my book = (FreeBSD 3rd edition) and it sets up my partition, asks what type of = installation I want (selected Novice). I then tell it the installation = media is CDROM but when it boot it appears to scan the CDROM (led = flashes) but then boots from the hard drive giving me a message that = 0:wd(0,a)/kernel is the default and placing me at the boot: prompts. If = I type ? it lists several items:=20 /var=20 /usr=20 cdrom=20 /=20 plus some others. Anything else I type it just echoes what I type as = 0:wd(0,a)xxxx where xxxx is what I typed followed by the message no = xxxx.

The sequence of events above doesn't make sense. It sounds as if when you set your media type it subsequently reboots. It shouldn't be doing that at all. You should redirect this question to the freebsd-questions list, as the charter of this list prohibits the answering of technical questions. The only way we can keep FreeBSD's reputation of stability and robustness is to direct people with technical questions to those who actually know the answers.

It is also available at http://people.freebsd.org/~sue/newbies/fak.html FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.ORG is the place to send all questions about installing, configuring, running and using FreeBSD. All help requests are handled by FreeBSD-Questions, including newbies questions. It is particularly important to send all installation questions and answers to FreeBSD-Questions so that they only appear in one place. FreeBSD-Newbies is different. We don't ask for FreeBSD help or answer how-to questions. It is a discussion forum for newbies. FreeBSD-Newbies provides a place for new FreeBSD users to meet and covers any of the activities of newbies that are not already dealt with elsewhere. Examples include helping each other to learn more on our own, finding and using resources, problem solving techniques, how to seek help elsewhere, how to use mailing lists and which lists to use, general chat, making mistakes, boasting, sharing ideas, stories, moral (but not technical) support, and taking an active part in the FreeBSD community. We take our problems and support questions to freebsd-questions, and use freebsd-newbies to meet others who are doing the same things that we do as newbies. We can help people to use the FreeBSD mailing lists and resources, or to interact more productively with the broader FreeBSD community. These are not support questions, and not technical, so we deal with them here. Everyone can help with these new user orientation requests. One of the things we do together is learn more effective ways to find help when we need it. Here are some suggestions: When something doesn't work the way you expect 1. First look at the errata for your release of FreeBSD at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/releases/ for the latest information and security advisories. 2. Search the Handbook, FAQ, and mail archives at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/search/search.html 3. If you still have a question or problem, collect the output of `uname -a' and of any relevant program(s) and email your question to FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. Mailing lists When you have a problem that you can't solve by yourself, there's only one support mailing list and that's FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. FreeBSD-questions helps with installation and basic setup as well as more general and advanced questions. You don't have to actually join freebsd-questions before asking a question there. Replies to your question will normally be sent to you personally as well as to the list. Just make sure you have read and followed the guidelines for posting, because you might find them different to what you're used to. If you do subscribe to freebsd-questions you'll have the advantage of seeing all of the recent questions and their answers. Before you post to FreeBSD-questions, please read the guidelines at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html Many of the people who answer FreeBSD-questions are very knowledgeable, but they get frustrated when they get questions which are difficult to understand. http://www.lemis.com/email.html is worth reading too. If you're not sure that you can follow these guidelines, come back and ask the other newbies for help on how to post an effective question to the support mailing list. Maybe your question has been asked before. If you search the mailing list archives at http://www.freebsd.org/search/search.html first you might get the answer right away. It's always worth trying. Other mailing lists (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-CHARTERS) cover specialised areas and many are more developer-oriented. You'll need to read their charters carefully before participating, but it's probably a good idea to ask on either -newbies or -questions for advice about where to post a more specialised question. FreeBSD-announce is a very low volume read-only list for occasional announcements, such as notice of new releases, and the Really Quick Newsletter. It's worth subscribing to FreeBSD-announce too. Manuals You'll always be expected to show that you have made some effort to use the available documentation before asking for help. That's not always as easy as it sounds! If you know what documentation you need but can't locate it, send a brief query to FreeBSD-questions. If you don't know what you need, always have trouble finding it, or can't make any sense of it when you do, ask some patient newbies to steer you in the right direction. Anyone interested in writing or reviewing documentation for FreeBSD is encouraged to join the FreeBSD Documentation Project. Details are at http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/docproj.html Other resources A resource list is available at http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html to help new and inexperienced FreeBSD users to find relevant information quickly. It includes books, on line documents and tutorials, and links to web pages that other newbies have found useful for learning. If you have a suggestion for good material to be included, please write to freebsd-newbies and tell us about it. But I have seen people asking questions here! It is quite common for people to send the wrong kind of post to a mailing list. Because we're newbies it'll certainly happen here from time to time. The best thing to do if you see a message that doesn't belong on a list is to ignore it. There's always someone around whose job it is to sort these problems out privately. The posts to the lists go straight through, whatever their content. It is going to be confusing for a little while because we're all newbies so we all make mistakes. That's OK. One thing we're going to see a fair bit is people posting questions, believing they're doing the right thing by posting here as newbies, not realising how it works. If someone answers those questions the situation will snowball. There's nothing wrong with helping someone to redirect their question to freebsd-questions, but please do so gently. There's nothing wrong with the occasional mistake either. So all questions, requests for help, etc still go to freebsd-questions as usual. Ours is more of a discussion group, a place where newbies can relax with other newbies and focus more on our successes than on our temporary imperfection. We can talk about things here that are not allowed on freebsd-questions. We're also a bit freer to make the mistakes that we need to make in order to learn. _________________________________________________________________ Mailing list membership To Subscribe to FreeBSD-Newbies: Use the easy form at http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-newbies to subscribe to the FreeBSD-Newbies mailing list, or to change your subscription details if you are already a member.

Nikhil: Any chance you are using an IBM ThinkPad? I had that problem too and solved it by running the display self check, that is in the BIOS section. After running the screen check, the problem went away and the console was restored to full screen. I am running FreeBSD 4.8 on an IBM 600E. To get to the diagnostics checks, I held SHIFT F1 while the notebook booted.
