There is no tty00 entry under /dev. In the README.X11R6 for FreeBSD, it suggests getting the device info that was detected on booting and then double checking this against the /dev entries. I don't know how to correlate sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq4 on isa with anything in the /dev entries. How are they connected? I'm also having trouble with the printer. I have an HP Laserjet 3 connected to lpt0. It is detected at boot time. I have an lpt0 entry under /dev. When I try to redirect to lpt0 (just to see if it is working) by, for example, typing ""cat /etc/printcap > /dev/lpt0", I get a device busy message. Any help will be much appreciated. I really like the network configuration script.

The checksums files in each distribution (for example bin) don't correspond to the files ! :((( I've checked several sites : ftp.freebsd.org & ftp.ibp.fr. Same problem. Did I miss something ? It seems very strange that this hasn't been modified since the 10th of February !

Hi there, I just received the FreeBSD 2.0 CD from Walnut Creek and I ran into a snag already. First a plus (you probably know already) Hardware compatibility does not mention the Adaptec 1510 SCSI Adapter, but when I booted with the floppy the devices on the card were correctly identified. Here's my problem, I can't get past the boot-up sequence from the disk made when I made the BOOT Disk and the CPIO Disk (the batch file is written wrong for creating the disks ). The boot up goes through all the hardware indentifying everything it can find and then comes to a point where it says: wd1: changing size of 'd' partition from 819520 to 820352 and then hangs. Or.. does this take an extremely long time? I let it go for an hour on one try before giving up. 'D' drive was empty at the time, freshly fdisked and formated. I also tried running it with no partitions on that drive in which case it would say that it was changing the partition from 1 to 820352. Here's my hardware: Intel 486 DX 50 (not DX2) with 8 megs RAM VLB Stealth 24 Video DFI VLB Controller with: 3.5, 5.25 floppies C Drive, Western Digi 540 drive (set up as 528, I wasn't going to play with drivers to get 12 megs) D Drive, Maxtor 420 Drive Adaptec 1510 SCSI2 Controller with: Mountain Filesafe 1200+ Micropolis 640 meg drive (big ol' ugly monster that you can fry an egg on) Sound Blaster 16 Multi-CD Mitsumi CD-ROM (soon to be back on it's own card again) Do you have any suggestions as to why it was trying to change a partition without asking? Any way I can get around it? I'll probably run into other problems down the road but I'd like to at least get started. Or did I do something wrong already. (Look into that crystal ball) . I'll send any info if you want it, I know what it's like to do support, I'm the IS Network Tech here at AirSep. Jeff
