UNIX yes. MAC ... I think there's something in the FreeBSD ports or packages collection that does that ... tkhfs, or something. I've never tried it myself. But Unix and MS-DOG filesystems I know work. > 2) I can't seen to get the Ethernet card to be recognized (it shows > it is the bootup but i can't do the device thing or whatever) If it shows up in the bootup then all you have to do is assign an IP address and netmask to it. For example, if it's an Ethernet card based on the DEC driver, type ifconfig de0 inet W.X.Y.Z netmask A.B.C.D substituting the appropriate values. If it's a Lance ethernet, use `ln0' instead of `de0'. If it's an Intel, try `ie0'. If you don't know what it is, type ifconfig -a to list all Ethernet adaptors currently installed. Finally, to automatically configure your card each time you boot up, add its type to the entry network_interfaces in /etc/sysconfig, then add an ifconfig entry for the card. For example: network_interfaces="lo0 de0" ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" ifconfig_de0="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00" > and I can't have com ports 3 and 4!! Sure you can. As I said before, either enable them at boot up time by booting up with "-c" or make your own kernel with sio3 and sio4. > it says that /dev/sio0 or 1 doesn't exist!

Even though the kernel device drivers for the serial ports COM1, COM2, COM3, and COM4 are called sio0, sio1, sio2, and sio3, the /dev entries are /dev/cuaa0 For call-out on COM1 /dev/cuaa1 For call-out on COM2 /dev/cuaa2 For call-out on COM3 /dev/cuaa3 For call-out on COM4 /dev/ttyd0 For dial-in or generic use on COM1 /dev/ttyd1 For dial-in or generic use on COM2 /dev/ttyd2 For dial-in or generic use on COM3 /dev/ttyd3 For dial-in or generic use on COM4 Type "man 4 sio" for more information. If you're missing any of these /dev entries, type cd /dev ./MAKEDEV cuaa0 cuaa1 cuaa2 cuaa3 ttyd0 ttyd1 ttyd2 ttyd3 to make sure they're all there. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory kelly@fsl.noaa.gov Boulder Colorado USA http://www-sdd.fsl.noaa.gov/~kelly/
