I have a Netgear FA510 and I get the same error that is found on this person's test page: http://people.freebsd.org/~imp/CardStatus.html NEWCARD DRIVER STATUS PAGE Netgear FA510 dc 20020926 BAD -- can't detect ethernet carrier Basically, I can ping my IP assigned to the machine, but nothing on the outside. Other individuals on some of the mailing list archives had the same issue. Most of those archive messages were from 2002 and the last post was from someone saying they were hoping to get to working on the driver at the beginning of the new year(2003?). I would really like to get this card working. I just recompiled the kernel after a cvsup on 5.1-stable, but it did not help. One other point to note. Netgear says the Tulip driver works for Linux for the card. FreeBSD 5.1 finds the card under dc0. From what I have read, the Tulip driver would be a ed0. Could that be part of the problem? Thanks.

But its the first time I have ever gotten 2 bad CPUs in a row. Just to rule out the unlikely, has anyone run a celeron with Id = 0xf29 on FreeBSD 4.x with good results ?

Any help on this matter is greatly appreciated. Here is what I'm trying to do. I have two computers, both running 4.8, clean, minimal installs. They have two serial cables connected to each other to act as serial consoles, and -Dh has been added to /boot.config, along with ttys having been updated. The console bit works great. What I want to be able to do, is completely rebuild one of the machines remotely. So I log into one, serial over to the other, and reboot it. Then, when the loader comes up, I stop it, and break to the "ok" prompt. I unload the kernel that was starting to load, and at this point, want to boot off CD, to rebuild the system, as though I had gone into the BIOS, and set the CD as the first boot device. However, I don't have remote access to the BIOS, so I can't do this. Here is some information about the systems, and what I have tried so far: They are identical computers, that I built myself, very default machines. IDE everything. atapci0: port 0xff00-0xff0f at device 2.5 on pci0 ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0 ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0 ata1-slave: ATAPI identify retries exceeded ad0: 38166MB [77545/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100 acd0: CDROM at ata1-master PIO4 I have tried all combinations of load that I can think of. And I have tried setting loaddev and root_disk_unit to all sorts of things. Here is the output from a lsdev: cd @ 0xff5c disk @ 0xef68 disk0: BIOS drive A: disk1: BIOS drive C: disk1s1a: FFS disk1s1b: swap disk1s1e: FFS disk1s1f: FFS disk1s1g: FFS pxe @ 0xd6d8 I have also tried just doing an ls on the device, by setting currdev to all sorts of things...like cd9660:cd, just 'cd' and the BIOS physical addresses in the form X:acd(Y,Z) [0-4]:acd([0-4],[a-c]) No joy. I have also tried booting with the -C option, and here is the tail end of that attempt: acd0: CDROM at ata1-master PIO4 Mounting root from cd9660:cd0a no such device 'cd' setrootbyname failed iso_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 Mounting root from cd9660:acd0a cd9660: RockRidge Extension init: not found in path /sbin/init:/sbin/oinit:/sbin/init.bak:/stand/sysinstall panic: no init No joy. I'm trying to think what other information might be useful. As I see it, the problem is, that once a version of FreeBSD has been installed, and the loader loads off the HD, it doesn't want to have anything to do with the CD any more... I realize I have other options, like PXE or FTP, or having an "install partition", to hold an install of BSD, just to install to the other partition. I really don't want to go down these roads right now, since I want to be able to have someone pop in a new CD, to switch around versions of BSD running on these boxes. Help anyone!?

So, no, you can't boot from the hard drive and read files off the CD from the loader. However, you can copy the kernel and mfsroot off of the CD and stick them in /boot/new/kernel and /boot/new/mfsroot.gz and then manually load the new kernel and mfsroot from the hard disk's loader to get into the installer. I.e. something like: ok unload all ok load /boot/new/kernel ok load -t mfs_root /boot/new/mfsroot ok boot -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Dec 9 22:26:20 2003 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 227C116A4CE for ; Tue, 9 Dec 2003 22:26:20 -0800 (PST) Received: from ns.tmaec.ru (TMAEC-RWR.tmaec.ru [62.76.182.142]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4FC9043D09 for ; Tue, 9 Dec 2003 22:26:15 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from converse@tmaec.ru) Received: from ws17.student.tmaec.ru ([62.76.182.69] verified) by ns.tmaec.ru (CommuniGate Pro SMTP 3.5.9) with ESMTP id 1221314 for freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org; Wed, 10 Dec 2003 09:30:51 +0300 Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2003 09:30:34 +0300 From: converse X-Mailer: The Bat!
