Is there any utility software out there that i can use to "design" my configuration file something like on linux? again, thank you Sandro Noel From owner-freebsd-small@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Oct 7 18:48:02 2005 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-small@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-small@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AA9FD16A41F for ; Fri, 7 Oct 2005 18:48:02 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from info@martenvijn.nl) Received: from martenvijn.nl (vijn.xs4all.nl [194.109.254.102]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1208D43D45 for ; Fri, 7 Oct 2005 18:48:01 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from info@martenvijn.nl) Received: from [192.168.1.6] ([192.168.1.6]) by martenvijn.nl (8.13.3/8.13.1) with ESMTP id j97InIs2003842 for ; Fri, 7 Oct 2005 20:49:18 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from info@martenvijn.nl) From: Marten Vijn To: freebsd-small@freebsd.org Content-Type: text/plain Organization: Marten Vijn Date: Fri, 07 Oct 2005 20:48:15 +0000 Message-Id: <1128718095.711.9.camel@localhost.localdomain> Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Evolution 2.2.3 FreeBSD GNOME Team Port Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: tinybsd patch for more types / sizes of cf and harddisks X-BeenThere: freebsd-small@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list Reply-To: info@martenvijn.nl List-Id: Dedicated and Embedded Systems List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 07 Oct 2005 18:48:02 -0000 hi With tinybsd i experianced some problems using more types of cf-disk and harddisks. Diskinfo gave diffent info per disk. I really want to use one image for disk. the succeded by changing some of settings in tinybsd mdconfig -a -t vnode -f ${VNODEFILE} -x ${SECTRACK} -y ${TRACKCYL} to mdconfig -a -t vnode -f ${VNODEFILE} -s ${SECTUNIT} (and some more minor things with fdisk and boot0cfg) The blow patch leaves all old ways of doing intact but adds some functionality using other settings: http://martenvijn.nl/tinybsd/tinybsd-0.6.1_script_patch.txt just apply the patch and run tinybsd for more info. cheers, Marten
