My only choice for a DSL isp will only do G.lite in routing mode, not
bridging.
So... I want the dsl modem to essentially act as a bridge, feeding
into one ethernet card on my freebsd box via a crossed cat5 cable, and
the freebsd box handling routing and other duties
If i've understood you correctly you want to join two seperate physical
network segments on the same subnet using the freebsd box.
Since the join is the Freebsd box then getting that to bridge the two
nics should work (assigning and IP to one if needed.)
Otherwise you'll need some more routes
I was considering turning on bridging, which requires the final ipfw
rule to be allow, not deny.
So I added a deny rule at 65534, but temporarily left the default deny
rule in place in the kernel.
Interestingly, my log shows the following:

I'm building a kernel with two ethernet devices, an ed0 and a de0.
Both devices are recognized during the hardware probe at system startup:
de0: Digital 21041 Ethernet irq 9 at device 18.0 on pci 0
device_probe_and_attach: de0 attach returned 6
ed0: Netgear EA201 Ethernet Card at port
Pretty old. It's a micron p200, pre mellinium. 1997?
I'm not sure what you mean by changing the BIOS setting for an irq. Do
some bios allow you to change irqs of add in boards? I don't see any way
to do that in the Phoenix bios on this system.
I rearranged the boards and managed to get the
system configuration in a custom
kernel. I'm not sure I needed to get rid of the parallel port, but I'm
not using it anyway. It's a real hack, but doing so allowed my two
NE2000 cards to be placed at irq 3 and 5, and then everything worked.

If you tried this while su'ed and the un-su'ed you were still in the

In step #4, bsdlabel gives you a label with zeros for fsize, bsize, bps/cpg
Is it necessary to fill these in, or is there a way to get some
reasonable defaults?
newfs -N will give you numbers for bsize and fsize, but what about bps/cpg?

When I originally set up my SSD, the stuff I was following indicated there was
no need to put anythng on a separate filesystem. I'm now trying to build a
backup system on a usb drive and I want a separate /var and /tmp.
I had originally set the nodump flag on /tmp and /var, so my snapshot is

I reconfigured my ssd filesystem with the /var partition of size 512M.
Unfortunately, something in portsnap or the ports tree in general uses a
boatload of small files, and i ran out of inodes. Can anyone recommend an

What's the trick to allow altfn to still be used to switch vtys when running
