It turns out that my /etc/rc.conf file was asking for de0, so it

100Base-T problem?

[Rich Morin]

I am trying to get my FreeBSD system to work with 100Base-T.  It works
fine with 10Base-T, but when I put in any of several 100Base-T cards, it
fails to work.  Interestingly, the lights on the card and on the hub both
indicate that the 100Base-T card is connecting.

I am running a fairly vanilla PC:

  CPU: AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor (300.68-MHz 586-class CPU)
Origin = "AuthenticAMD"  Id = 0x58c  Stepping = 12
Features=0x8021bf
AMD Features=0x8800

I recently upgraded from FreeBSD 4.5 to 4.7, but I don't think this is
relevant to the problem at hand.  Here are some lines from an unsuccessful
(in terms of networking) boot -v, using a Netgear 100Base-TX card:

  ...
  dc0: <82c169 PNIC 10/100BaseTX> port 0xb800-0xb8ff mem 0xdd80-0xdd8000ff

Here are some lines from a successful (in terms of networking) boot -v,

If my memory serves me correctly, you need to compile VESA support into
your kernel, then you should be able to use vidcontrol to change the
screen to 800x600, for some laptops you will also need to compile in:
SC_PIXEL_MODE   # add support for the raster text mode 
along with VESA

FreeBSD has text mode support for all video cards, it does not support
any 'set' of video cards, and from experiance, any nvidia based video
card will work with FreeBSD and X. Now assuming your talking about X,
you need XFree86-4 Installed, and use the 'nv' driver, and that will 
support it. as far as a 800x600 console, read the archives or handbook
there is alot of info on doing it.

Unfortantly from what i can tell, this is a corrupt pkgdb.db

and run pkgdb -F to create a new one. I have had this happen ALOT

How can I get a core dump?

[Duncan Anker]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to debug an irritating little apache module problem.
Periodically httpd is seg-faulting, so I have rebuilt it statically with
full debugging flags and no strip options in an effort to find out why.

Unfortunately, no core image is being saved when the seg-fault occurs. I
have poked around the OS but can't find anything. Core file size is
infinite, there is plenty of space. I thought maybe that since it dumps
the core in the working directory by default, maybe it didn't have write
access. I tried changing the sysctl kern.corefile to /tmp/%N.core but to
no avail.

I have tried running with the -X flag, but all that does is stall the
web server, and the seg-faults stop (perhaps because no requests are
getting answered).

I'm stuck for ideas now. Is there something I optimized out of the
kernel that needs to be in there, perhaps? Some secret flag that only
kernel hackers are privy to?

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be very grateful. I really want to
get this problem knocked over soon.

Thanks in advance,

If what you're talking about is more text on the screen then you're
talking about vidcontrol(1). Read the manpage, load the fonts, and
then experiment. Remeber that not all modes work on all hardware. When
you find a setting that you like you can put something like the
following in rc.conf

font8x16="/usr/share/syscons/fonts/cp437-8x16.fnt"   
font8x14="/usr/share/syscons/fonts/cp437-8x14.fnt"   
font8x8="/usr/share/syscons/fonts/cp437-thin-8x8.fnt"

and

allscreens_flags="-m on -b blue VGA_80x50 cyan blue"

or

allscreens_flags="-m on VGA_80x30"

Yes, the question comes up many times; yet the right answer keeps lacking.
:) Before I asked, I had, of course, done a bit of searching. And found that
there are many disadvantages to using "dd".

For one, using disk-blocks, instead of reading files sequentially, like tar
and Ghost do, enhances the risk of data-corruption.

For two, with "dd" you need to unmount filesystems first. Which makes it
pretty useless on a production server. Yeah, like I can really afford to
have my /usr slice be absent for half-an-hour. I think not. :)

Actually, we are talking about backup, but the real issue is restore.
Everybody can make a tar of the root system, or a dd image. Sure. Restoring
it, however, in a manner that will yield you a bootable, instant runnable
system, now that is another matter. And what to do with special cases like
/dev?

In all my perusing the net, I have yet to encounter one solution that said:
"This is how you can make a full system backup, with this image, that you
can immediately restore on a blank harddisk, and have your system up and
running again."

Many suggestions I read about ways to backup. But, like I said, restoring is
the real issue. I can backup /proc for sure; the wisdom of restoring it on a
life system, however, is another matter. That is why the only clean way of
doing this, would be to make a disk-image, like Ghost does. And Ghost, so
unlike dd, does NOT use disk-blocks, but reads files sequentially. When
making a disk image, Ghost basically just does several partition images, and
then adds partition table info to the overall disk image. No need to "zero"
out the disk first, like with dd, so as not to have it waste too much space.

Still looking...

Yes, I di have that in my .procmailrc, somewhere along the line I must
have got rid of it by accident. Re-instating it works a treat. The dups

Port shells are stored locally.  Packages are retrieved
from the 'Net automatically.   Your ports tree is
probably way out of date.  CVSUP is one of a couple
of programs used to update your ports tree.
Check out the manual "staying current"

This tells me that the Makefile for apache1.3x was

But not current after 12 October. There have been 3 updates to the

Most often this is because people are taking the ISO file and saving it
as one large file on a CD rather than using it as a binary image of the
CD.  For your software, you should be able to right-click on the FreeBSD
ISO icon and select "Make CD" or whatever the option is called.  If you
drag and drop the ISO file, I don't think that will work.

problems with FreeBSD installation

[greg tibbetts]

I am attempting to test and see if the disc1 boot image works.  I am not 
sure but it doesnt seem to work. I created a bootable and a non bootable CD 
rom with easy cd creator and it doesnt boot from the cd rom even though I do 
necessities to the BIOS, to boot from cd rom.

Can anyone help?

Console Messages Remotely

[patrick gibson]

I like how when I su to root in FreeBSD, I get the console messages to my
virtual tty. I have one server, though, where these messages are not being
displayed. I haven't changed anything of which that I'm aware that would
cause this, and my /etc/syslog.conf file seems okay:

*.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit  /dev/console

When I login remotely, and become root, I would like authentication errors
and such to display on my terminal. I seem to remember once seeing an option
that asked me if I wanted /dev/console to be redirected to any root tty, but
for the life of me, I can't seem to locate where this option is. Does anyone
know how I can (re-)activate this?

I'm running 4.6.2, by the way.

Thanks in advance,

Patrick

There IS a program similar to Ghost with respect to making an image. It's
called "dd" and it's already installed on your FBSD system. Run "man 1 dd"
for options.

Bear in mind that if you want an image of your whole disk, you'll need the
2nd one to be at least equal in size, but you will lose any part of the 2nd
HD that is larger than HD #1 (I think Ghost does that too -- or used to).
dd can be limited to imaging only a slice however.

This questions comes up monthly and the archives has numerous postings over
the past several months that will fill more details.

port utils not working (ruby memory error)

[Nick Jennings]

Hi All,

 I've been having trouble with the ports over the past few days. I had
 done a port update with cvsup. Then a portupgrade -a. Since then metacity
 has been dropping core every hour or so it seems, and generally acting
 wierd.

 I did another port update today with cvsup, and then 
 'portupgrade -Rrf metacity'. This didn't seem to fix much, however it
 seems now that my portupgrade port (that which provides portupgrade,
 portversion, port* etc.) does not work anymore. 

su-2.05b# portversion -v
[Updating the pkgdb  in /var/db/pkg ... - 260 packages found (-2 
+3) (...)[Updating the pkgdb  in /var/db/pkg ... - 260 packages

from /usr/local/sbin/portversion:77:in `main'
from /usr/local/sbin/portversion:347
su-2.05b#

Same stuff happens when I use any of the portupgrade applications. I have
tried going into ports/lang/ruby and doing a 
'make deinstall && make clean && make install' same with 
ports/sysutils/portupgrade but nothing worked.

Any ideas how I can get my system back to normal? I have serious misgivings
about every trying to update/upgrade my ports & installed packages again
:(

How am I to know when things are broken or stable?

The reason I originally asked, is that I am building a new FreeBSD 4.7
server, in a test environment, which I then, when it is done, want to
migrate to the "real" server.

I really wish there was something like GHOST I could use for FreeBSD. I
mean, just a prog that will make an image of the entire disk, that can be
restored as an image. And I'm surprised, actually, that I cannot find such a
program. While readily available for the "home" market, you would think that
a need existed for servers too to have the ability to make image backups.
Apart from migratory reasons, it would make a full restore a lot easier when
I would just lose the then minutes or so restoring a GHOST image in case of
a calamity, instead of the painstaking process of what basically boils down
to doing a complete new install, spanning at least several hours.

Re: 4.7-release, compaq smart array 3200 & SMP

[Josh Franta]

I am giving up on this problem and chalking it up to a very similiar
bug that's been in open the buglist for a year or so.  I also tried
upgrading the controller firmware to 4.5, tried booting using the
verbose option and w/kernel debugging turned on, but I couldn't
identify any errors giving me a clue why the kernel seems to hang
mounting the root filesystem.  Instead I am dumping the smart array
and going back to the onboard scsi controller in order to build an
SMP kernel.

Link equalization?

[Tillman]

Howdy,

Is it possible to do something similar to Linux 2.4's ethernet link
"equalization" (round-robin'ing, really) as described at
http://www.linuxguruz.org/iptables/howto/2.4routing-10.html under
FreeBSD? I'm trying to extract more speed from my NFS server, and I've
already gotten about all I can out of 100Mbps by tuning :-)

It probably can't go that fast.  Try 9600 baud first, then 19200.  
Unless Apple was still totally nuts back then, it should also be 8N1,
but who knows?  Turn the printer off between tests to clear the buffer.

This is not really a reply to your question, but a trick that will
save you some of the trouble these duplicates cause.

I wouldn't notice it if I did receive any duplicates.  I have been
running procmail as a basic filtering .forward file recipe with the
following rule in my ~/.procmailrc file:

# --
# Remove duplicate messages using Message-Id caching.

:0 Wh: msgid.lock
| formail -D 327680 msgid.cache

With a 320 kb cache for Message-Id headers, I hardly (if ever) get any
duplicate messages anymore.

Dialup WAN link using FreeBSD

Hi all,

I'm facing the interesting task of creating a (auto)dialup link using 
old fashioned analogue modems between two FreeBSD machines.

I never even touched the subject before and feel a bit hesitant over 
where to start.

Would very much appriciate pointers to docs beyond the Handbook.

I found it, found the maintainer, he said I need to report the bug to
the author(s).
The bug, for anyone interested, is that text within () brackets in a
Subject line causes spamassin to gob up a high scoring error about the
Subject having a unique identifier (something like that).

Adjust MAXLOGNAME to the new value (don't forget the NULL).

That should do it... rebuild kernel and os.

I think I was having a bad hair day, I was convinced it was called

dsniff problems

[twig les]

Hey all, I'm really trying to find some good info on
dsniff and failing miserably.  I get this:

=
L# msgsnarf 
msgsnarf: no suitable device found
L# dsniff 
dsniff: nids_init: no suitable device found
L# tcpkill
tcpkill: no suitable device found
L# tcpkill -i ep0 tcp port 80
tcpkill: (no devices found) /dev/bpf4: No such file or
directory
tcpkill: couldn't initialize sniffing
=

No matter which tool I try and use it fails.  I tried
a makedev but that command is no longer around (I
think I remember it getting deprecated in 4.7).  The
man pages are practically useless, I can't find my
problem on Google, and the link to the dsniff list
archives died on me...so this isn't me not RTFMing.

Also, I'd like to use Mozilla and not Netscape for
webspy and would like to find a conf file

Does anyone know what's up with this?  Maybe there is
a document repository somewhere?

Try removing/reinstalling wrapper, although if X starts at all that

Well, I decided to cvsup to -STABLE last night, and I was able to build world,

Well, if it is from ftp, you probably have ftp set up to not allow
them outside of their own directory - which is a normal thing to do.

Check out ftp documentation.  There is lots both in man and
tutorials on the net.  Do some Google searches and some archive
and FAQ searches.

Jonathon: Don't want to give much advice without knowing your setup, but
usually the hookup would be for the connection from ISP (modem?) goes into
the WAN connection of the router and then run your cable from the LAN or
nearest port on the router to your hub or switch which is then hooked up to
your network. Thus, you don't need but one NIC.

You then use the browser to load up the setup on the router by typing in
192.168.1.1 usually. Then you can route the Internet to each of the
machines from the router.

FreeBSD does not support hyperthreading and likely won't until Intel
coughs up some documentation. Dmesg will report the physical processors
only.
Yes, I do have dual Xeons also.


What more documentation do you need than is in the 4 volume IA-32 set?

I got the set from the Intel developer site, and it cost me $0.00.

It has all the details on the HTT stuff.

cc1 error

[Brian Kraemer]

Hello,

I just upgraded from 4.7-RC to 4.7-STABLE as of today's sources. The
upgrade went smoothly until I did an installworld. After that, my compiler
stopped working. I get the following error on anything I try to compile:

  $ cat test.c
  int main(void) { return (0); }

  $ cc test.c
  cc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11

I looked around on the mailing list archives for similar problems and
found that most cases of this particular error are caused by bad hardware.
However, I do not believe I have bad hardware since I was able to actually
compile my system and kernel and those appear to be working just fine.

My system is usable, it's just that I cannot compile anything new. Does
anyone have an idea as to what is going on and how to fix it?

I'm not subscribed to -questions, so please CC me on responses.

-Brian

Re: ports: make search doesn't find some ports

Hi list,

I keep my /usr/ports up to date using cvsup and it seems that "make

Example:

root@antsrv1 [/usr/ports] # make search key=irrtoolset
root@antsrv1 [/usr/ports] # whereis irrtoolset
irrtoolset: /usr/ports/net/irrtoolset

I did "make index" and " portsdb -uU" but it does not help

What am i missing?

I suspect that it has been copied as ratoolset. When you look at the 
Makefile in net/irrtoolset, everything is ratoolset. My search will 
find ratoolset.

Are you really sure you want to do this?
This is some protection against connection from hosts
trying to obsure their tracks.  

It basically means that you can't get a reverse DNS on the host.
If it is one of your machines, then you need to fix its DNS info.
If it is from somewhere else, you don't want it connecting to 
your machine - at least  not until they get their pile cleaned up.

Have you done an upgrade?
More recent versions of FreeBSD inetd automatically "wrap" the 
daemons that it starts.   Previously you had to put the wrap in
to the inetd.conf file.   I don't know just which version started
doing it automatically.

Sounds like a good possibility - or someone has not registered a host
properly.

There are others out there who can explain the details much better than I,
but here is the basic think anyway.

apache2 "directory index forbidden by rule"

[Ihsan Junaidi Ibrahim]

Hello all,

I have an apache manual directory located in /usr/local/share/doc/apache2 
which I'm trying to link from my local website. I symlink the folder to a 
local folder in my home directory and all I'm getting is "directory index 
forbidden by rule" when I looked inside the log file. The problem it seems to 
be on the extra filename tacked on the htmls file ie: index.html.en, 
index.html.ja and all. I tried plain old index.html and all are fine.

I tried adding the line AddOutputFilter Includes html on the directory where 
the symlink and the actual folder but still no go. It only happens in virtual 
host context, if I put the  statement in global context, it work. 
The only caveat is that I have to put an alias; or else there' no way I'm 
able to reference the folder.

Here's the directives that I put in the VHost context;


Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AddOutputFilter Includes html
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
 


Options Indexes MultiViews
AddOutputFilter Includes html
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all


I don't want to refer the files in global aliasing/directory context. I only 
want to refer them from my local directory. I have a bunch of html docs 
located in /usr/local/share/docs which I symlinked just fine and apache is 
the only misbehaving kid on the block.

Hope someone can help.

try   'man ln'

Unplug the cable from CDRW and try to boot. Double check jumpers and pin
"1". Re-detect HDD from BIOS. It should work. If so, put CDRW on the second
controller as master, but make sure the jumper is correctly set. Use master
not C/S.

You should probably set the baud rate and communications parameters in

enscript produces PostScript output, so it probably won't produce
anything useful on that printer.  At least until after you install
Ghostscript. 8-)

Chapter 11 of the Handbook shows setting up a serial printer, although I
confess I haven't tried it because my printers are all Ethernet.

RE: Your experiences using PPPoE

[Liquid]

Ah, something like this should work.  I've tried so many different
things but in the end, the problem remains that the system itself does
not know that tun0 no longer works and I have to manually restart ppp.
This essentially does it.  The other guy who replied also had good
ideas, but all those are on the assumption that FreeBSD notices the link
is down... I'm guessing it's the only reason it hasn't worked for me.

I've tried using "set reconnect x x" in ppp.conf - if that doesn't work
there's a serious problem as its sole purpose is to redial/reconnect
(whatever) as soon as the link is down - which it has failed to do,
given the link is never "down" according to ifconfig anyway.

Thanks a lot Tim,

Sandro

Re: Internet blocked out?

[Jonathan Arnold]

ifconfig_dc0="inet 66.92.76.224  netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_dc1="DHCP"
defaultrouter="66.92.76.1"
hostname="amazingdev.com"
If I comment out the ifconfig_dc1 line, all is well. It is DHCP because
I have a Linksys router on my internal network, so it picks up the
192.168.* address just fine if it is in there. How can I get it so that
the "default" NIC is the 66.92 one, not the 192.168 one? I tried
switching the order of the lines in rc.conf but that doesn't help.

It's my understand that if you have the router, you sould not have the
second NIC installed. You need to route using the router setup methinks.


Sorry, but I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Do you mean that if I set
up a router on my FreeBSD machine (the router in my rc.conf is actually from
Speakeasy.net), I could connect directly to the Internet via my NIC, and yet
somehow allow access to/from my local, 192.168.* address?

I imagine that the code has been changed in the interest of security.
Instead of commenting out the "ALL" line above, I'd add an
allow line just for the service(s) that you are concerned about.

Perhaps:

imapd:  66.122.112.170 : allow

and so on...

lyx question

[Kirk R. Wythers]

I recently added textcomp.sty to my lyx configuration to enable the
degreecelsius symbol. However, I kept getting an error when I tired to
use \textcelsius in a .lyx document. No make matters more confusion,
other symbols that are part of the textcomp package worked fine (e.g.
\textdegree, \textdagger, etc.). With the kind help of H. Voss, I
discovered an conundrum. Mr. Voss sent me a .lyx file with a single
\textcelsius command (textcelsius.yes.lyx) that he created on his 1.2.1
lyx. My version of lyx (1.2.1_1 from freebsd ports) can open it, and
display a div with no errors. However, a file that I create on my
machine with the same single \textcelsius command, yields an error when
I try and display the dvi. I have attached both files. Are there any lyx
users that can shed some light on this situation?

Thanks,

Kirk

Port shells are stored locally.  Packages are retrieved

probably way out of date.  CVSUP is one of a couple

Check out the manual "staying current"

checksum errors

[hymette]

hi,

why is it that trying to install a port with make, often results in a 
checksum error that is overcomed easily by pkg_adding -r the same 
application ? The error message recommends to check out that the 
makefile is up to date but how could I do this ?

thanks in advance

inetd/hostname failures

[Mark Edwards]

I've recently started having the following show up in my security run 
output:

lilbuddy.antsclimbtree.com kernel log messages:
me: getaddrinfo(adsl-66-122-112-170.dsl.snfc21.pacbell.net, AF_INET) 
failed

I also had failures of the following kind:

Nov  7 08:33:34 lilbuddy inetd[68076]: refused connection from 
63.202.185.83, service imapd (tcp)
Nov  7 12:18:43 lilbuddy inetd[69441]: refused connection from 
66.122.112.170, service imapd (tcp)

I worked around the inetd issue by commenting out the following in 
/etc/hosts.allow:

#ALL : PARANOID : RFC931 20 : deny

The thing is both of the IP's in question (66.122.112.170 and 
63.202.185.83) have been connecting daily with no problem whatsoever 
for over a year.  All of a sudden these refusals started, and I haven't 
changed anything on my end.

My questions:

1) What is the best way to troubleshoot the getaddrinfo failure above?  
What is the failure, exactly?  Poking around with nslookup and dig 
doesn't reveal anything, at least to me.

2) The inetd failure seems related to the IP's in question not having 
the same reverse/forward DNS entries.  However, this has been the case 
for over a year and I haven't had the failure until recently.  What has 
changed to cause this failure?

3) Is disabling ALL : PARANOID : RFC931 20 : deny a bad idea?

One interesting thing is that both of these IP addresses are owned by 
pacbell.net.  My guess is that pacbell messed something up on their 
end.  I run the network at 66.122.112.170, and nothing significant has 
changed.  I tweaked the firewall there, but disabling it doesn't change 
anything so I don't think it is related to the firewall.  I'm not 
looking forward to trying to explain this to pacbell ...

Thanks for any suggestions.  Please CC me in any replies, as I'm on the 
digest.

I installed Linux, and the hardware and the CD were OK: cdrecord
worked perfectly well.
I rebooted FreeBSD, I re-ran 'burncd'. It failed: computer
still has a prompt, but burncd did nothing. And now
the BIOS doesn't find any more my hard disk

I'm very disappointed, no burncd working, no more a hard disk...
The hardware was Asus + Athlon.

Any hint?

My point exactly.  Given that the source of the
joke is/was American comedian Steve Martin,
(which may/may not be true) the joke would
date to the period 1977-1979, which was prior
even to 4.2BSD !!

You can configure "/etc/ppp/ppp.linkdown" to redial.

[ppp.linkdown]

isp:
/usr/sbin/ppp -quiet -ddial -nat isp

#--end ppp.linkdown
(change isp to your isp label)


 and put redial to your /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
 man ppp to see how

Your experiences using PPPoE

[Liquid]

I'm just looking to see how others connect their FreeBSD machine to the
internet around here if they have a PPPoE connection.  I thought mine
was ok, as I never would be offline with one ISP (up to 5 weeks), but
now I've changed ISP and my machine is no longer able to realize that
the ppp link is down and needs to be renegotiated.  I'm especially
interested in knowing what 3rd party programs people use.  For the
networking guru's: I know for a fact my former ISP did not go 5 weeks
straight without dropping my connection, they sent mail regarding
downtime for repairs twice in that period.  Is there something about one
isp vs another one that can keep my machine from noticing when the
connection is lost?

Here is my ppp.conf:

FIREWALL# ee /etc/ppp/ppp.conf

default:
 ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE)
 set device PPPoe:rl0
 set mru 1492
 set mtu 1492
 set timeout 0
 set log Phase Chat Connect LCP IPCP CCP tun command
 set ifaddr 1.1.1.1/0 1.1.1.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
 set cd 5
 set crtscts on
 enable dns

pppoe:
 # set mode dedicated
 set authname **@magma.ca
 set authkey *
 set dial
 set login

in my rc.conf, I've set it to connect on startup, in dedicated mode, and
tried ddial today as well, running the process as root.  I also have a
ppp.linkup:

MYADDR:
 Add 0 0 HISADDR

If anyone sees room for improvement, or knows where I can inform myself
on creating a neat hangup script that can kill the ppp process and fire
up a new one, by all means let me know

Thanks,

Sandro M.

This is a very old joke.  In fact, it was still there when 4.4BSD-Lite

It's my understand that if you have the router, you sould not have the
second NIC installed. You need to route using the router setup methinks.

RtCW is single-threaded as far as I know. The admin of one of the

Remeber that RtCW was a Windows games first, and how good is Windows

Xeons and Max # of CPUs supported

[Will Froning]

I have a dual Xeon box with 4.7-stable installed (new 2.8GHz Xeons that
is). When I compiled in SMP it only came up recognizing 2 CPUs instead
of the 4 I was hoping for.

Does FreeBSD not support the Hyper-Threading or is it that FreeBSD only
supports 2 procs?  And if it does support Hyper-Threading, is the second
CPU recognized as the hardware CPU or the Hyper-Threaded one?

Thanks,
Will

	[rc.conf]
	ppp_nat=YES


Thanks for the idea, but I don't use PPP and, according to the rc.conf
in /etc/default, this is the default setting anyway.

I've got it fixed, sort of. My machine has two NICs (one to the world and
one to my internal network). It seems the NIC that all the servers are
using is the internal one now, although up until this latest upgrade, it
had been the one to the outside world. Here's my rc.conf lines:

ifconfig_dc0="inet 66.92.76.224  netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_dc1="DHCP"
defaultrouter="66.92.76.1"
hostname="amazingdev.com"

If I comment out the ifconfig_dc1 line, all is well. It is DHCP because
I have a Linksys router on my internal network, so it picks up the
192.168.* address just fine if it is in there. How can I get it so that
the "default" NIC is the 66.92 one, not the 192.168 one? I tried
switching the order of the lines in rc.conf but that doesn't help.

If you are booted to a fixit CD, your server is no longer running.
The only things you would lose would be files that change during or 
after the dump is done.  Any critical dump of / should be done from 
single user (or the fixit).  That way, you will lose the least possible 
data - probably none, because none of the services that might change 
things are running.

I don't know what is going on there.

Well, you will have to make a new root file system - maybe from scratch 
if nothing could be dumped.   fdisk/disklabel/newfs or use the ones
in /stand/sysinstall 

I haven't used this fixit so it may work differently (I don't know how)
but most temporary fixup systems create a filesystem in memory and
put enough stuff there to run the disk building - fdisk/disklabel/newfs
and restore.  Things get temporarily mounted in that memory file
system for the restore to run and then the system reboots and all
is well.

It is sort of like if you pulled out your bad disk and put it in a 
second slot, put a new disk in the boot slot and built a clean system 
on it and used that clean new system to rebuild your old system on
the disk in the second slot.  Then when it is all ready, shutdown,
pull the disk out of the second slot and put it in the first and 
reboot.   It just used a combination of CD and a memory filesystem
for that temporary disk in the first slot.   

Actually, if you have the spare disk and the slots to use (nice SCSI
disk cage is great) then do it by bilding a new system on the spare
disk and swapping slots as described above.  That's better than using
a fixit CD if you have the resources available.  Just make sure you 
make the disk in the second slot that your are rebuilding your system
on bootable  (presuming a SCSI disk devoted to FreeBSD
   fdisk -BI -v -b /boot/mbr da1   
  (to create the FreeBSD slice and install a standard boot 
   block - eg no multi-boot manager)
   disklabel -w -r -B -b /boot/boot1 -s /boot/boot2 da1s1 auto 
  (to create initial label on the slice and install boot records)
   disklabel -e -r da1s1   (to edit the partitions on the slice)
The man page for disklabel(8) are pretty good at giving examples for this.
(though pretty bad about systematically describing options and flags)

Re: advice on fine tuning diskless boot

[Joao Pedras]

Greetings Rob,

here's my /etc/fstab. This initially resides in /conf before clone_root copies
it to /diskless_root/conf.

192.168.200.3:/usr  /usrnfs ro  0   0
proc/proc   procfs  rw  0   0

I grep'ed all the files and checked the cpio's that clonet_root creates and
there is no reference of /dev/ad0s1a. I am assuming that it is the kernel that
tries to mount this by default.

In fact this message is spit out by the kernel.

Please cc: future replies to me as I am not subscribed to this list.

Thanks for you help.

Joao
