Hello
I want to start using FreeBSD after using debian unstable for a year :)
So I installed FreeBSD 5.1 about 2 months ago.
I installed gaim and figured out that this version of gaim didn't support msn. So I wanted to upgrade my ports tree, but because my laptop is 300 mhz, I do not want to recompile my whole ports tree. I looked at freebsd-update but couldn't figure out how it worked. I also looked at PACKAGESITE and PACKAGEROOT, but that only grabs the latest packages instead of updating the whole ports system. (I'm missing the apt-get update/upgrade tools:) Could somebody show me how to update the ports.
Further, I want to use acpi, but it gives the following error while it tries to mount my drive:
setrootbyname failed
ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp
Root mountfailed: 6
After that I get something like this:
Manual root filesystem specification:
<fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
e.g. ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
? List valid diskboot devices
<empty line> Abort manual input
mountroot>
It's not possible to mount the filesytem :(
If I disable acpi than my system will boot normally.
So has anyone encounterd this problem, and if not,
how can I get my dmesg output to put in a bug report.
This is on a toshiba portege 3020ct.
Regards,
Roland van Laar
