Astrid,

Have you configured Sybase to start using the rc scripts, or
some other mechanism, when the server boots?

If so, could you let me know what you did.  I haven't had
time to play with it for a while and still need to solve
that problem.

Many TIA!

Happily, the problem is fixed - the machine's hostname was not set correctly.
*boo*

After fixing it the database and backup server built properly, and I contacted
the db with isql and have a prompt  :-)

To put it in a nutshell:
I installed FreeBSD 3.4, recompiled the kernel with the shared mem options
mentioned below (are not in the default kernel), got Sybase 11.9.2
(RedHat rpms), installed those with rpm --hiv --nodeps --ignoreos
<packagename>, made sure ownership and group were correct (sybase sybase),
started srvbuild, voila.

Very nice - now the Sybase guy has to play with it. put stuff in the db, and
I will run some benchmarks on it. And contact it remotely...
