Why no ls on DVD or livefs.iso?
Booted with both. Alt-F4 to get to command line. Very limited commands: ls: not found. Why? What good are these disks if they don't have the most basic of commands? Trying to clone a hard disk that has an number of bad sectors. Trying to save most of my data. Want to use recoverdisk, but can't get the command line to work.

What good are these disks if they don't have the most basic of commands? Only live systems offer more than the holographic shell when booted properly. FreeSBIE has been a very good live system in the past, but the current installers also allow you to drop into a working shell environment at a very early stage (from within bsdinstall). http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall/bsdinstall-choose-mode.png This dialog should bring you into a working shell. I've been using it myself for disk initialization with a FreeBSD 9.1 CD. Trying to clone a hard disk that has an number of bad sectors. Trying to save most of my data. A good approach. If possible, try to obtain a 1:1 copy of the disk (or partition) and work with that. Check the mailing list archives for further inspiration. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

That is true. But if I understand the question (as quoted above) correctly, installing world from source has been involved, that's why my suggestion of following the instructions (or a subset of them, as it applies). While you are quoting the official instructions from /usr/src/UPDATING here (so they are completely correct in that sense) these are the instructions to do something rather different to what the OP intended. I've copied the the instructions from the comment header of /usr/src/Makefile (at least on my outdated system at home they're there). Of course if the _only_ problem of the initial question is to install a custom kernel, with an otherwise updated system using freebsd-update (with world, kernel and sources in sync), just installing a custom kernel from within multi-user mode is fully supported by the system. This implies that only a small subset of the quoted instructions would apply here (steps 1 and 3 - 5), after freebsd-update has been finished successfully. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

On 06/10/2013 04:51, Eric Feldhusen wrote: I figured I'd walk through those steps from start to finish and just correct my main problem and any other little glitches I might have. I'm on step 6 and when I run mergemaster -p, I get the following error. *** Creating the temporary root environment in /var/tmp/temproot *** /var/tmp/temproot ready for use *** Creating and populating directory structure in /var/tmp/temproot /usr/bin/install: Undefined symbol gid_from_group *** FATAL ERROR: Cannot copy files to the temproot environment I found this thread on the Freebsd forums http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=41779 with the same error and if I do the same diagnostic steps of truss install -d -g wheel ~/testdirectory I find an error of lstat(/usr/local/etc/libmap.d,0x7fffb990) ERR#2 'No such file or directory' Any suggestions? Thank you for the help thus far. The 'undefined symbol' error means you have a binary which is somehow not dynamically linking against the shared libraries it was compiled to use. As install(1) has pretty simple dynamic library usage -- just libmd and libc: # ldd /usr/bin/install /usr/bin/install: libmd.so.5 = /lib/libmd.so.5 (0x800822000) libc.so.7 = /lib/libc.so.7 (0x800a33000) ... and libmd.so just contains code for computing various checksums, nothing to do with groups and GIDs. This suggests that your libc.so is somehow incompatible with your /usr/bin/install. Which really shouldn't be the case given that you'ld previously used freebsd-update to upgrade your userland to 9.2-RELEASE. Things to double check: * you haven't been faffing about with /etc/libmap.conf -- that file or any file it includes should basically be empty except in quite unusual circumstances. Remember folks: libmap is not your solution of choice. It's what you turn to when there are no other viable alternatives. * Your freebsd-update really has been updating the source tree you attempted to upgrade from. Check /etc/freebsd-update.conf. By default it contains: # Components of the base system which should be kept updated. Components src world kernel If you don't have src in there your buildworld procedure will at best be trying to take you back down to 9.1-RELEASE-p???, and at worst trying to create some unholy mixture of 9.2 kernel with earlier bits of the system. I think you should be able to recover to a system managed via freebsd-update by something like: # vi /etc/freebsd-update.conf { Make sure you're getting 'src world kernel' components as shown above } # freebsd-update fetch # freebsd-update install but I haven't tested that so ICBW. In any case, this should get you back to the state where you have a 9.2-RELEASE world but your modified 9.1-RELEASE kernel. If you still need a custom kernel then you can build and install it like so: # cd /usr/src # make KERNCONF=MYKERNEL buildkernel # make KERNCONF=MYKERNEL installkernel and reboot. Otherwise, I'm not sure exactly how you'ld revert from a custom kernel to the standard generic kernel you'ld normally get via freebsd-update. What I'd try is moving aside my customized kernel and re-running freebsd-update: # cd /boot # mv kernel kernel-MYKERNEL # freebsd-update install If that creates a new /boot/kernel and populates with a new kernel and many loadable modules then you're golden. If not, move your saved kernel back into place (mv kernel-MYKERNEL kernel) and ask here again. The 'no such file or directory' error for /usr/local/etc/libmap.d thing is a false problem: /usr/local/etc/libmap.d is an optional directory -- all you are seeing is install(1) trying to open it and discovering that it doesn't exist.
