Wanted Soekris net4511's

2008-05-13 Thread Ashant Chalasani
Dear Friends,

I'm looking to acquire used-but-in-working-condition Soekris net4511's.

http://www.soekris.com/net4511.htm

I can take anything between 1 and 5 depending on the price.  If you've
got any, please email me your best offer.

Thanks

Re: FreeBSD 7 on Zonbu machine

2008-04-24 Thread Ashant Chalasani
Hi there!

I'm running tinybsd on a Soekris net-45*1 boxes, so I didn't need to
deal with it, but checking on my host machine, it seems like you need
these libraries:

/usr/lib/libusbhid.a
/usr/lib/libusbhid.so.3
/usr/lib/libusbhid.so

Check for those on your image.

I've had issues with the /etc and /etc/rc.d directories, which didn't
get copied properly when tinybsd was built (on repeated builds).  As a
result a number of startup and config scripts didn't get started.  So
you might wanna check if your config and startup scripts are intact.

I've experimented with the isc-dhcp3-server port all 3 options -

Install port without man page

2008-04-15 Thread Ashant Chalasani
Hello All,

Is there a way to install a port without the man-pages.  I'm trying to
install a dhcp server onto a Tinybsd image and end up buying myself a
bunch of files in /man, as seen at
http://code.google.com/p/tinybsdap/wiki/InstallingPorts (hope the
linking is not minded).

Thanks

Re: tinybsd doesn't have /etc/rc.d/ ?

2008-03-28 Thread Ashant Chalasani
Finally got the box to boot, with sshd.  I can connect on port 22, and
login prompt appears.  Very messy though, as this was possible only by
copying over /etc from host.

Can't figure out when I'm having to do all this, and why TinyBSD 0.9
doesn't work "out-of-the-make".  Or am I on a total tangent?  Jean?
Patrick?  Anybody there?

tinybsd doesn't have /etc/rc.d/ ?

2008-03-27 Thread Ashant Chalasani
The whole of /etc/rc.d/ directory is missing on TinyBSD 0.9.  Is this
by design?  I'm hoping someone can throw light on it.

I copied the sshd script manually from my 7.0-REL host onto the flash
image, as also a simple initialization script that I wrote for setting
up the network.  But it looks like lot more startup scripts from
/etc/rc.d/ are required to initialize the system.  I can ping the
device on the network port, which means my network script ran.  But
sshd on port 22 isn't available, so I guess /etc/rc.d/sshd failed.

I prefer to copy only the necessary scripts into my target's
/etc/rc.d/ from the host, and not the whole directory.  There are 143
scripts in rc.d.  Is there a minimal subset of scripts to setup the
system, networking + basic services (dhclient, sshd etc)?

Thanks
Ashant

It does seem like a fetch issue.  To the same server URL part, FTP
works, but fetch fails.  I'll investigate this further when doing the
next port installation, as for now I've got all the ports I need and
have a difficult schedule.

Thanks for your tip Lowell.
