any links in, tar dies with a segmentation fault.
Has anyone got any ideas why?
Yup, looks like I'm using bsdtar
Now that you know which tar you're using, :-)

since Linux' support for some hardware is better than FreeBSD's,
it would be nice to have an *optional* way of running a FreeBSD
system (userland, including all third party programs) on top
of the Linux kernel.

That's exactly what I'm doing right now. For example when I need
to use my Pinnacle DC10+ (Zoran) card, I simply reboot into Gentoo,
do the capture, and then reboot into FreeBSD to run the rest of
mjpegtools. Same for MIDI recording etc... or other stuff that's
currently unavailable within

I can't seem to figure out how to make a screen capture.
xwd screen_dump_file
Then move the mouse curser to the window you want to dump
and click the left button.
man xwd for more details
If you then need to convert the file to gif/jpeg/PostScript/whatever
the xv program can do that.
actually instructs you to remove the keyboard.
I think this is for some systems with buggy firmware?
For other systems with different buggy firmware you
should leave the video keyboard connected, at least
if you need to get into the firmware's setup mode.
So is there someone who can give me a
Are there any plans to update gcc to gcc-4?
Perhaps in 8.0? There are already gcc4[0-2] ports in
/usr/ports/lang if you want to have gcc 4 right now.

Thanks, my copy of 6.0 doesn't seem to have gcc42 so I'm
trying to beat gcc41 into submission.

FreeBSD 6 seems to recognize logical slices in extended ones. The
appropriate entries /dev/ad0sN appear. At least this works with
logical slices that contain VFAT or ext2fs.
Just 'fdisk' doesn't list the logical slices. Is there a tool that
can list these?
NetBSD's fdisk can.
The only odd thing is if the FreeBSD MBR detects a bootable slice with
a filesystem type it does not know such as NTFS, it identifies it in
the menu as '???' rather than with a name.
I'm triple-booting FreeBSD, NetBSD and that penguin thingy. NetBSD's
fdisk(8) allows setting the menu labels
So hw.ata.wc thinks that the disk write cache is off,
but atacontrol cap thinks the disk write cache is on?
I remember this is working but there was a reporting problem
in atacontrol.
Looks like atacontrol cap reports the state of the disk *before*
hw.ata.wc took effect.
It would be less
How does one provide one or two devices, e.g. /dev/null
for a chroot environment?
Device nodes created by mknod do not work.
mount_devfs creates an entire device tree, negating
the security of the chroot.
