Install FreeBSD 5 from DOS partition: Newbie totally
confused.
I am attempting to install FreeBSD 5 from DOS
partition, but I am stymied. Here's where I am so far:
1. Created kern floppy: kern.flp using fdimage
2. Created mfsroot floppy : mfsroot.flp using fdimage
3. Copied entire CD (disk1) to DOS partition, to
C:\freebsd
The machine I want to install on has no CD-ROM drive.
So this is what I do:
1. Insert kern floppy in A: and power on.
Looks good, get the same kind of output as in the
FreeBSD handbook, after a few minutes I get the
message to put in the MFS root floppy. So I do.
2. Insert mfsroot floppy and press enter.
Things continue happily for a few moments, I get the
message
"Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key
for command prompt.
Booting [kernel] in 9 seconds... "
OK, so PC reboots with mfsboot floppy in it.
3. Upon reboot, I see the following:
FreeBSD/i386 boot
Default: 0:fd(0,a)/boot/loader
boot:
Now what to I do?
I though I was supposed to get the Kernel
Configuration Menu.
How do I get the menu?
I assume I want to get to the menu by accessing the CD
files I copied to C:. But how?
Also, I made a drivers floppy (drivers.flp) which the
drivers.txt says contains msdosfs which I assume I
will need to use to access the current C:, but how do
I do this?
Sorry for so many questions, but I have searched high
and low in the FreeBSD Manual and FAQ, but I cannot
figure it out myself.
Thanks for your help,
Joe

I'm not surprised. 5.0 release is 'Alpha ware' and installing
from a DOS partition is perhaps the trickiest way, however:

It certainly shouldn't re-boot at this stage. Is this 'known good'
hardware?
>3. Upon reboot, I see the following:=20
> FreeBSD/i386 boot

As you would if you simply booted the 2nd. disk.

Describe the hardware you're using and ask on FreeBSD-questions.
Or try 4.7 release first.
>I though I was supposed to get the Kernel

You would have done usually. But the generic kernel on the kern.flp
disc is not able to survive your hardware. You could try re-writing it.
>How do I get the menu?=20

You'll see ;)

You may be at the leading edge here, but I expect others have
installed 5.0 this way. I'll try it myself if you get nowhere.
It's worth the trouble.
John.

Although not with 5.0 if you're thinking of the visual configuration
editor thing where device conflicts could be decreased. I haven't
seen it on a 5.0 install so far.
Perhaps 5.0 is harder to install on pre plug and play hardware with
unusual IRQ/address ranges.

supposed to be for discussion of new user experiences, not questions.

John,
Thanks for the replies and advice.
I've learned a few things...
1. My questions like this should go to
FreeBSD-questions. Sorry.
2. I begin to understand that much of the doc (FreeBSD
Manual, FAQ) that I have been reading is probably not
up to FreeBSD 5.0 yet.
3. The hardware I am atempting to install on is
probably not where I should be on something as new as
5.0. (FWIW, the hw I've been trying to use is a 486
motherboard but with some not-off-the-shelf
configuration.)
4. My *nix skills are probably not up to what I have
been attempting with this project. I need to step back
and try something easier for my first FreeBSD install.

Most backup programs expect tape drives. A few newer ones let you use
cdrw as well. But I don't know of any that let you backup to arbitrary
media.
In any case, for "small" backup jobs like this, perhaps a simple script
you write yourself would work best.

Undervalued Weekly Reporter Initiates Coverage:
OTCBB: LAIR
UWR ALERT: Since September 11th traveling by air has
become a combat zone. This Belgian airline carrier is
taking over Sabena's once coveted Brussels hub, creating
low-cost direct international routes and providing high
quality service. With all of its competitive advantages
L-AIR Holdings (OTC BB: LAIR) is destined to become the
"JetBlue" (NASDAQ: BLU) of Europe.
HOW TO BENEFIT FROM THE AIRLINE CARRIER/TRAVEL CRISIS
BY INVESTING IN HIGH GROWTH SAFE, SECURE and PROFITABLE
GLOBAL CARRIERS? L-Air Holdings, Inc. (OTC BB: LAIR) -
US$20M in revenue immediately from its first three routes.
Shares Outstanding-----------------22.305 Million
Shares in DTC----------------------4.5 Million
DTC shares m'gt friendly-------900k
DTC management shares----------3.2 Million
DTC shares in public float-----400k
Recent Price-----------------------$0.185
Year Low/Hi------------------------$0.09 - $0.185
Visist Website at lair.com
If you are a frequent or even some-time airline passenger
then you already know how important it is to not only
receive a low-priced fare, but to get the most expeditious
and friendly customer service possible. This is where most
international airline carriers have failed since September
11th. Now that war with Iraq is likely, further financial
crisis at most of the major airlines is also likely.
Alternative international air carriers flying under flags
from countries not likely to be the target of terrorist
attack are seeing their bookings increase dramatically.
So who benefits from this? The airline carriers in
countries such as Belgium, France, Norway and others
that, can operate safely and securely within this
framework, while not sacrificing customer service and
satisfaction through pricing. That is one of the reasons
why we believe L-Air Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: LAIR) will
succeed particularly well in the short term. Long-term
we feel that the OTCBB: LAIR business model combined
with implementation by its impressive management team
and in-place financiers will bring much higher valuations
to this stock.
The Company's commitment to cost efficiencies and customer
satisfaction is at the core of its business model, just
like JetBlue (NASDAQ: JBLU), Southwest Air (NYSE: LUV),
and easyJet.com, all of whom are very successful within
their respective markets and industry leaders. This
international carrier is on the path to success. Fortune
Magazine recently stated that Southwest Airlines is the
all-time #1 successful investment. We feel L-Air Holdings
is on a similar path.
As recently reported in SPEEDNEWS (speednews.com),
the newsletter of record for the aviation industry,
L-Air Holdings is in the process of acquiring a European
airline, Belgium Universal Airways, in order to receive
an AOC (air operations certificate). Within one-month
of finalizing the acquisition currently being negotiated
and receipt of its AOC, expected to be complete by March 1,
2003, LAIR will operate two Airbus A340-300 aircraft over
three high-traffic routes. Contracts for these routes are
in place with tour operators and other agencies providing
an initial and immediate revenue stream of approximately
US$400k weekly, or annualized revenues in excess of $20
million from existing contracts.
Based in Brussels, Belgian Universal Airways, through
direct ownership by OTCBB: LAIR, is being transformed
into a low-priced passenger airline providing exceptional
customer service, much like its USA based counterpart,
JetBlue (NASDAQ: JBLU). The Company plans an aggressive
expansion campaign as led by its capable ex-Sabena staff
and management with its financier and 51% owner Universal
Capital Partners (UCP). UCP has already spent over US$5
million and committed an additional US$10 million in cash
to the Company's initial operating budget. UCP has also
signed leases with major aircraft manufacturers to provide
LAIR with at least 5-Airbus 340-300 aircraft by year-end.
UCP is a majority shareholder of LAIR.
LAIR expects to take delivery of the first two freshly
painted jets in April 2003 with the following routes to
be serviced:
Route 1) Brussels -to- Puntancana (Caribbean - one of
the heaviest European tourist destinations currently)
Route 2) Yervena -to- LAX (Contracts with Armenian agency
to provide this much needed service to be announced upon
successful completion of acquisition)
Route 3) Toronto -to- Montreal -to- Delhi, India (No
competition on this highly lucrative and much needed
route as of yet)
Three additional Airbus 340's are to be acquired through
leases in the Fall of 2003. The carrier proposes to launch
new operations from its Brussels hub in April 2003.
Ask anyone in the airline industry what is the most
promising source of revenue growth with the current
political situation and insurance cost nightmare for
U.S. and other majors and many will agree that small
carriers with high-traffic routes and good low
maintenance cost aircraft are the key. Focusing on
profitable long haul routes with low-cost maintenance
jets, while providing exceptional customer satisfaction
OTCBB: LAIR is one of these carriers. The Company's
commitment to cost efficiencies and customer satisfaction
is at the core of its business model, just like JetBlue
(NASDAQ: JBLU), Southwest Air (NYSE: LUV), and easyJet.com
all of whom are very successful within their respective
markets and industry leaders. This international carrier
is on the path to success.
About the Co. - Belgian Universal Airways, OTCBB: LAIR
Europe needs a safe and decent, well run Airline, managed
by highly qualified and experienced staff, that will
provide good service at a fair price for everyone. Since
the closure of Sabena in 2001 (the Belgian National
Airline) due to Swiss Air's bankruptcy (Swiss Air had
recently bought Sabena), there has been a need to revive
the once thriving wide International Flight Network based
in Brussels. In addition, since the September 11 tragedy,
carriers that are not terrorist targets are increasingly
being called upon to pick up these routes.
Through an acquisition of 49% of Belgian Universal Airways
by OTCBB: LAIR, UCP and Sabena's Captain Raymond Nicolai
are now preparing to meet this need. Universal Capital
Partners (UCP) is currently negotiating with the airline
to finalize an acquisition that will give UCP 51%
ownership, while 49% will reside with OTCBB: LAIR.
UCP is the single largest shareholder of OTCBB: LAIR
currently. This structure is necessary to meet ownership
requirements mandating that 51% of a European air carrier
be European owned.
Captain Raymond Nicolai has dedicated his life to Aviation
since 1968. He is an ex-Belgian Air Force fighter pilot
and is an instructor on many types of Aircraft including
the company's chosen A340. Captain Nicolai is bringing
many of the former Sabena management and staff that will
comprise the bulk of the company's 100 plus in number
workforce. These well trained ex-Sabena staff members
are dedicated to the Company's (OTCBB: LAIR) mission of
creating a new Belgian National Airline that represents
excellence in all aspects, including on-time flights,
the highest level of customer service, cost efficiencies
in operations and maximization of profitability for its
investors.
With the addition of many new international direct routes
to markets including Asia, Middle East, Africa, USA,
Canada, Caribbean and Europe the Company has a better
than average chance of achieving success due to the
lack of any competition servicing these routes currently.
Belgian Universal will operate a fleet of 5 Airbus
A340-300 aircraft capable of seating 220 Economy seats,
30 Business class full comfort pitch seat, and 10 First
class sleeperettes. All Belgian Universal's aircraft
feature roomy all-leather seats each equipped with
satellite phones and full individual multi-media systems
capable of delivering many different forms of
entertainment, including: a large selection of movies /
videos, music (MP3 and other format), computer/video games,
and the soon to be offered "on-board" Internet services.
All available at every seat along with the many high
quality amenities not found on existing air carriers
competing with the Company (OTCBB: LAIR).
With Belgian Universal, all seats are assigned, a good
percentage of travel is ticketless, all fares are one-way,
and a Saturday night stay is never required.
For more information, schedules and fares, please visit
Website at lair.com. Press releases, can be found on
the website at lair.com.
Airline industry experts agree that the most promising
source of revenue growth with the current political
situation and insurance cost nightmare for U.S. and
other majors is within the group of small carriers with
high-traffic routes and low-maintenance cost aircraft.
Focusing on profitable long haul routes with low-cost
maintenance jets, while providing exceptional customer
service, OTCBB: LAIR is one of these carriers. The
Company's commitment to cost efficiencies and customer
satisfaction is at the core of its business model, just
like JetBlue (NASDAQ: JBLU), Southwest Air (NYSE: LUV),
and easyJet.com, all of whom are very successful within
their respective markets and industry leaders. This
international carrier is on the path to success.

Hello people,
Maybe a stupid question but iam working lately on a unixbased system.. and
i am learning the skills...
At mine work we have a discussion about the names of the folders especially
one folder; ETC.. lot of books [internetfiles] comment this one as
ETCetera...
Is this true?
We think not, because in it are configuration files.. like *.conf Is the C
a part of Configuration?
And are the next ones true? BIN=Binairy USR=Unix Sytem Resources??
Sorry for the bad englisch, but mine native language is dutch... :)
Waiting for your answer.. Greetz from the netherlands!

I'm sure there's a real acronym in there somewhere, but I prefer to
think of it as simply "etcetera". I've been using UNIX for twenty years,
and no one has set me straight yet.

bin = "bin" as in executable binary, and not "bin" as in storage bin.
usr = short for "user", at least that's how I always viewed it. I'm
probably wrong, but old habits die hard. It makes sense, because
software that is meant for the multiple users (either end users or
sysadmins) are stored in /usr somewhere, unless they are needed at boot
time or in single user mode.
In the long run, these names mean whatever you want them to mean.

One of the possible acronyms used for etc is
E = Extended
T = Tool

AMSTERDAM,
THE NETHERLANDS.
CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL.
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me
since you do not know me personally. I am Carol
Makali,
the only child of James Makali,the most popular black
farmer in Zimbabwe who was murdered in the land
dispute
in my country. I got your contact
through network online hence decided to write you.
Before the death of my father, he had taken me to
Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US8.6 million
(Eight million, Six Hundred thousand United States
dollars), in one of the private security company,
as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe this
money was deposited in a box as gem stones to avoid
much demurrage from security company. This amount
was meant for the purchase of new machines and
chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new
farms in Swaziland.
This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr.
Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act Reform
wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some
few black farmers, and this resulted to the killing
and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some
lunatics in the society. In fact a lot of people
were killed because of this Land reform Act for
which my father was one of the victims.
It is against this background that, I and my mother
fled Zimbabwe for fear of our lives and are
currently staying in the Netherlands where we are
seeking political asylum and moreso have decided to
transfer my father’s money to a more reliable
foreign account. since the law of Netherlands
prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any
bank account or to be involved in any financial
transaction throughout the territorial zone of
Netherlands, As the only child of my father, I am
saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine
foreign account where this money could be transferred
without the knowledge of my government who are bent
on taking everything we have got. The South African
government seems to be playing along with them.
I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of
money out of South Africa for fear of going through
the same experience in future, both countries have
similar political history. As a businesslady,I am
seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my
future and that of my family in his hands, I must let
you know that this transaction is risk free. If you
accept to assist me and my mother, all I want you to
do for me, is to make an arrangements with the
security
company to clear the consignment(funds) from their
afiliate
office here in the Netherlands as i have already
given
directives for the consignment to be brought to the
Netherlands from South Africa.But before then all
modalities will have to be put in place like change
of ownership to the consignment
and more importantly this money I intend to use for
investment.
I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose
to have certain percentage of the money for
nominating
your account for this transaction. Or you can go into
partnership with me for the proper profitable
investment
of the money in your country. Whichever the option
you
want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped out
5%
of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred
in the process of this transaction.
If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to
give you 20% of the money while the remaining 75%
will be for my investment in your country. Contact me
with the above telephone number or my E-mail address
while I implore you to maintain the absolute
secrecy required in this transaction.
Thanks, GOD BLESS YOU
Yours Faithfully,
Carol Makali.

I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum though I've searched the typical places
including user groups. My problem is that my / is 102% capacity:

Any obvious solutions or recommended reading?

The obvious solution is to find out what's filling up your root
partition. Since you don't have either /tmp or /var mounted there, I
suspect that you either have A) a whole bunch of old kernels; B) have a
whole bunch of coredumps under /; or C) you've been using root as a
login account, and now have too much stuff in /root. 126M is more than
enough room for a root partition that doesn't have /tmp or /var.
For further reading, see the du manpage.

Hi,
My name is Levi Lewis and I'm with GlobalPromoter.com,
a search engine optimization firm specializing in guaranteed
first page listings in the major search engines. I would like
to speak with someone from your company regarding possible
partnership opportunities.
GlobalPromoter is an industry leader in the website optimization
and search engine submission business and has partnerships with
search engines including Overture, Inktomi, LookSmart and Findwhat
just to name a few.
We guarantee first page listings in the major search engines on most
of our packages and guarantee those listings within 14 days of
placing your order. If you would like to view some sample before
and after ranking reports of our clients please contact us.
We also offer our partners generous commissions even if they never
use our service.
In addition to our paid services we also offer several FREE and Unique
online tools (link at the bottom of page) that your users would find quite powerful. If you have any
"do-it-yourself marketers" I think they'll be quite impressed with the
analysis and recommendation tools we offer. Here are just a few of
the free tools.
Keyword Suggestion Tool:
The user enters a keyword and receives every variance of that keyword
and the number of times it's been searched on so far this month on the
Overture network of search engines.
Site Readiness Tool:
The user enters a url and keyword phrase and gets a detailed report
with recommendations to improve their ranking on the major search
engines.
Spider Your Competition Tool:
User can enter a url and extract the contents of your competitions
pages.
Plus there are many more. And we would be more than happy to put
the free tools on your site at no charge if we come to an agreement.
Please contact us with any questions and or comments you might
have. We look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards,
Levi Lewis

I personally like and use "FreeBSD Unleashed" by Urban & Tiemann. However, I
would not simply hand this book to someone brand new to FreeBSD; it could
turn them off due to its size.
I began my first exposure to FreeBSD by reading the manual and buying a copy
of Annelise Anderson's "FreeBSD: An Open-Source Operating System For Your
Personal Computer." As I began to expand and experiment, I turned to
"Unleashed."
As I began to build and integrate networks, I turned to "The FreeBSD
Corporate Networker's Guide" by Ted Mittelstaedt. His book is designed more
towards using FreeBSD in a mixed environment, particullary with Windows
servers.
Good luck, and welcome to the world of FreeBSD!
Terry Dunlap

I just started administering a FreeBSD machine about nine months ago
without any previous unix experience. The FreeBSD Unleashed book has
been my bible.

The one I settled on was "Absolute BSD: The Ultimate Guide to FreeBSD" by
Michael Lucas. It's written in a manner I can understand and use, though
I've also used "The FreeBSD Handbook".
I didn't get "The FreeBSD Corporate Networker's Guide" , but the reviews
were outstanding on this and Absolute BSD.
I've also found this list to be invaluable and I've gotten some good
suggestions/encouragement from the IRC channel #freebsdhelp on OpenProjects.
There are many really good "HowTo's" out there also.

I personally think that you just need to surf the web for your desired
question. There are tons of resources...including the handbook.
However, in print, 'FreeBSD Unleashed' is amazing. Also, the
gentleman that wrote 'Absolute BSD' writes columns on
http://www.onlamp.com this a great resource.
Congrats on your exposure to BSD, it is addictive, watchout! :)

FreeBSD-Newbies First Aid Kit
(This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD-Newbies mailing list.
It is also available at http://www.welearn.com.au/freebsd/newbies/)
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.
FreeBSD-Newbies is different. We don't ask for 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.
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.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.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.
