The release notes for FreeBSD 7.3 said that it could boot to zfs. I did not see any options for doing that via the normal install. I followed the instructions here: http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot When I reboot, I get: can't load 'kernel' I wiped the disk and tried again to

Extended VLAN?

2010-04-13 Thread Dan D Niles
I have two FreeBSD routers. I would like both locations to share the 10.10.0.0/16 network. If I were using Cisco routers I would use extended VLANs. How would I do that with FreeBSD routers? I already have a tunnel set up and routing different networks in the 192.168.0.0/16 range. Router A:

compatability. Hope this will help you. I'm running the freebsd-update kernel. I probably should have mentioned that I'm running the amd64 kernel, it might make a difference. There are no options in /boot/loader.conf or /etc/sysctl.conf. Thanks, Dan Regards, Ivailo Tanusheff Dan D Niles

More Dell 2950 woes. I use serial ports to manage my FreeBSD machines remotely. I've never had any problems until now. I've installed FreeBSD 6.2 on a Dell 2950. The install goes without problems over the serial port. After the reboot, I get the typical: FreeBSD/i386 (test.host.net) (ttyd0)

I just installed FreeBSD 6.2 on a Dell 2950. I installed it on a raid 1 on the integrated Perc 5i. The root device was /dev/mfid0s2a. Then, I configured a raid 5 device on the Perc 5e. Now, my root device was /dev/mfid1s2a. As a test, I configured an additional raid 1 device on the Perc 5e.
