A.Out Kernel?
Hi. I recently posted a message to this list something like running FBSDBOOT.EXE. One of you answered me? It's no possible to run FBSDBOOT.EXE, cause FBSDBOOT requires the Kernel be compiled in a.out format. So, what I done, I tried to reach a way to compile the kernel with a.out format. Well, I discovered at my Makefile at /sys/compile/MYKERNEL/ a line like this. KERNFORMAT?=elf I modified this line to: KERNFORMAT?=a.out And, as resultant of this, I cannot compile the kernel, because a message like this appeared. loading kernel swapcontrol.o: not found. But before this message have appeared. The swapcontrol.c was compiled at format of a.out, because I saw the its compilation with the -aout flag.

FBSDBOOT.EXE, Vi and DosCMD.
Hi, BSDusers. I know I ought to post these 2 questions to questions mailing list. How can I use FBSDBOOT.EXE? When I try to use it, it give me a error of "Invalid Format!", I think is the kernel was compiled for Elf format, so, is there a way to compile the kernel in the Static Format, Stripped or not Stripped. Vi, the editor, one dumb question, is there a way to select more text than one line? The command 'yy' only select one line. Well, when I use, for example, the Vi of my Linux Slackware, I can press 'v' at my keyboard, and I can use both arrow keys or 'h,j,k,l' to select the text, been after I press 'y' to select 'yank the lines' I know the version of Vi of Slackware is different from my Vi of FreeBSD. Do I need to install another version? Or, what is the correct key? DosCMD - Again, I know I ought to post this to emulation mailing list. How can I use it? I saw is necessary to put some lines at the Kernel Configuration File, or in other words, is necessary to add more options to the Kernel. How can I would use a MS-DOS executable over/under * FreeBSD. * I apologise for my english today It's ugly. The words over/under, I also don't know the best word for fit the sentence, to me both words means the same thing, which is "sobre" at my native language Portuguese. ------ Gustavo Pamplona - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux User: 137471 - FreeBSD User: FBSD042237 Slackware 7.0 | Debian 2.1 | FreeBSD 3.2-R | NetBSD 1.3.2 (i386) -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
Fixit - Recover Disk
Hi, guys... I'm new at this mailling list. Sorry for my english, I'm a brazilian. I'd like to know one thing about this disk. How the guys from Berkeley did that disk? This is because of the files at /stand directory of the disk. There are 54 files of 1.1MB at the /stand and this files fill only 1142 KB of the disk. How is it possible? (Fill 62MB inside a room of 1142KB) I think is the command 'dd' with some kind of conversion over the device, in this case converting about 60x less than the original file size. But I think not, cause the files at /etc and /.profile are ok. My FreeBSD version is 3.2-Release. It's old. Anybody could answer to me? Thanx and regards. ------ Gustavo Pamplona - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux User: 137471 - FreeBSD User: FBSD042237 Slackware 7.0 | Debian 2.1 | FreeBSD 3.2-R | NetBSD 1.3.2 (i386) -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
Is there a way to install FreeBSD without "Probbing Devices"
Hi, guys, Sadly, I posted to FreeBSD-Questions, but nobody answered me. And I think Hackers is the best choice. (I think is necessary to hack the sysinstall program to do this) I have memory problems, but my other systems, Windows 95 and NT worked without problems, and my only problem is with FreeBSD. I already installed Linux, did not have any trouble, with the exception of the "bus error", All OK! I also knew FreeBSD put a lot of stress on the memory. But how I got installed Linux on my machine. I know it the FreeBSD Installation Program is like a RAMDISK image (Linux), in other words, the Installation Program is a mini FreeBSD system, with the tools and utilities necessary for Installation. But, What I need is only a thing, Is there a way to hack the 'sysinstall' in other system like linux, to when I put the Boot floppy and followed by MFS root, the 'sysinstall' jump over to the main part of the installation. Or anybody can send to me a "sysinstall" without "Probbing Devices" screen ? I 'd like to thank for who send me? (If exist one, of course, or still a hacked copy) Or there is a way to install FreeBSD without sysintall. Well, I can install a Linux System with a simple bootdisk and a shell, containing 'fdisk, mkfs, mount.ext2fs mount.msdos or mount.vfat and mount.iso9660, tar and gzip. Example: In this way, I partition my HardDisk with the decimal code of 165, 0xA5 or BSD/386 and following create at less the root and swap slices. And make a new UFS filesystem and unpack the binnary distribution on the FileSystes, create the necessary /dev files for access the new partition, set up my kernel with rdev. and finnally install a new boot manager. I tried to compile the fdisk and newfs into my Debian Linux 2.1 system. I suscessfulled compiled fdisk, Currently it is working within Debian, but the newfs not. (I was not using iBCS - Intel Binnary Compatibility System) How I saw to Linux cannot a tool for create the UFS filesystem, and I'm desesperate, I need to install a FreeBSD. And I have no enough money for change my memory modules. Thanx for all []'s - Gustavo Pamplona - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux User: 137471 - FreeBSD User: FBSD042237 Linux Slackware 7.0 | FreeBSD 3.2 Release - To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
