Hey, guys:

Can someone either in Mailman or in a front-end MX box handling the mail before 
it gets fed to the listserver, filter out obvious duplicate aliases for the 
same list?  For an example, see:


Message-id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

...with these headers:

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org

-

One solution ought to be a specific Mailman tunable, which if one goes to the 
list admin page, and appends /?VARHELP=privacy/recipient/acceptable_aliases to 
the URL, should be:


"acceptable_aliases (privacy): Alias names (regexps) which qualify as explicit 
to or cc destination names for this list."


Repeat as needed with the other lists to reduce needless multiposting.

Degauss the monitor.  Check adjustment controls such as convergence.  Check to 
see whether you have "moire cancel" enabled, and try disabling that.


Be more specific about how the monitor is fuzzy, or get a closeup snapshot,

Matter of fact, it looks like you can turn this option on for a
directory with the "chmod" command without it being it's own separate
partition/filesystem...

yes, if you didn't create a partition  /dev/ad2s2f then you can't
mount it or put it in fstab because it doesn't exist.  I think you are
mistaken that you are trying to turn on the sticky bit since you don't
need a separate partition for that by itself.  There are other
security features that go along with mounting the filesystem with the
SUIDDIR option. An excerpt from "man mount":

  suiddir
 A directory on the mounted file system will respond to
 the SUID bit being set, by setting the owner of any new
 files to be the same as the owner of the directory.  New
 directories will inherit the bit from their parents.
 Execute bits are removed from the file, and it will not
 be given to root.

 This feature is designed for use on fileservers serving
 PC users via ftp, SAMBA, or netatalk.  It provides secu-
 rity holes for shell users and as such should not be used
 on shell machines, especially on home directories.  This
 option requires the SUIDDIR option in the kernel to work.
 Only UFS file systems support this option.  See chmod(2)
 for more information.

This requires planning ahead on your filesystem though, so that you
have space to create a separate partition for /home/ftp/incoming in
your case.  You could add another hard disk, or perhaps find a way to
rearrange your existing space.  It is usually easiest to set this stuf
up at install time though...

Your BIOS ought to have a setting which throttles this down.

Simply changing in within FreeBSD might be a little late, since the system has

stream + record audio simultaneously (jack?)

2005-08-15 Thread Mike Hernandez

In my quest to remove windows from my machine I am working on a list
of "stuff I can do with windows that I can't figure out how to do with
*nix". The item I'm up to now is simultaneous streaming and recording
of audio from my line-in. I can use audacity to record, and stream
with the shoutcast server + darkice, but I can't stream and record at
the same time.

I've done some research and it looks like I may be able to accomplish
this using Jack. So far I've also found some good news: jack and
darkice are already ports, and darkice can use jack... and audacity's
homepage says it can be compiled with jack support as too... but the
good news seems to end there.

If anyone knows of a way to stream & record simultaneousy with freebsd
(with jack or by any other means) please let me know... thanks!

If your monitor looks blurry or you have a hard time getting your
eye's to focus on the monitor then the convergence is way off. If you
have a convergence control, sean's monitor doesn't have one, you can
play with it and notice if you look closely at text or hard lines a
red or blue shadow ether on the sides (V convergence) or top/bottom (H
convergence).

Re: cache-only named won't resolve "localhost"


Gary W. Swearingen wrote:
[ ... ]

so I'd think domain resolution should look in /etc/hosts before
even checking my cache-only named.  Which it seems to do for "ping",
but not for "host", "nslookup", or "mozilla".


As Lowell noted, programs like "nslookup" and "dig" are designed to query DNS 
specificly, not look into your flatfiles for hostname/IP mappings.



I'm still wondering if I should be declaring a forward zone for
"localhost" or "localhost.localhost"; it seems kinda strange that
the script would set up a reverse for it, but say nothing about
the forward.


Note that the resolver will treat lookups of "localhost." and "localhost" 
differently if you have a domain or search directive specified in 
/etc/resolv.conf.  You could and perhaps should ensure that the one ending in a 
period exists in a zone file on the nameserver, and maps via an A record to 
127.0.0.1:


;
; BIND data file for local loopback interface
;

$TTL 604800

@   IN  SOA localhost. root.localhost. (
  1 ; Serial
 604800 ; Refresh
  86400 ; Retry
2419200 ; Expire
 604800 )   ; Default TTL
;
@   IN  NS  localhost.
@   IN  A   127.0.0.1

--

I inherited this from somewhere, you could remove all but the first "IN" (it 
defaults), as well as being less clever about reusing @, but add salt as 
needed. :-)


It is probably also a reasonable idea to have an A record for localhost in each 
forward zone file, so that "localhost.example.com" resolves immediately and 
stops rather than querying names throughout the search list of domains.  This 
can reduce annoying DNS delays significantly in a number of circumstances, not 
the least of which are client machines with less-than-brillant resolver 
routines (think WinNT 4).


Oh, yeah, this all was prompted by the notion that some other programs, such as 
squid in particular, also use their own resolver routines like "nslookup" does. 
 But Mozilla ought to pay attention to /etc/hosts.  The connection between 
these two is that you could uncouple mozilla from doing it's own DNS by 
pointing at a proxy server for testing what is going on

Just about every single application you ever want to use can be found

The very lastest build

The linux binary package possibly will also work if you have

Hello!

I'm sorry to bother you all guys, but this issue has really become a
crusade for me :)

I'm trying to play Counter-Strike 1.5 on FreeBSD - over network

The easy part was to install wine, closed-source nvidia drivers,
launch CS1.5 - and even play on the local listen server with some
bots. Mouse was not very responsive, but overall performance was
great. It should be noted that CS1.5 did not need any native dll's -
only wine's built in modules.

The problems start when you try to connect to a network server. It
would just hang. It took me three days of messing with wine, googling,
and meditating - to finally decide to ask for help at
freebsd-questions :)


Well my first thought is that if it works on a local server it should  
work on

a remote one..

Perhaps you can try to connect to a server on your local network?

What I'm thinking is that perhaps the remote server you are connecting
to is doing something different, perhaps trying to use "punkbuster" or
what ever counterstrike has as its anti cheat thing or it could be  
trying

to download maps/textures/sounds/etc..

Have you tried different servers?

When you say it hangs, what exactly happens? The program completely
stops responding? Does it say anything prior to hanging? How far does
the remote connection get before it stops? What if any messages are in
the wine console when this happens?

It's software-in-a-box to tone down the chattiness of CIFS/SMB and NFS,
so that WAN links aren't so slow.

I'm working with offices in the US, UK and AU, and file sharing between
them is horrendous, mostly because of how many hops between them.



I don't know enough about its internal workings to really say, but it
seems likely that setting up a Coda server at each office and using
NFS or SMB for local access to those servers might do what you want.

I've seen Coda in ports somewhere, and the main website is

Re: How to Force UDMA100 Mode on Boot?

Hi, thanks for the response. The thread somehow got broken up due to
some subject formatting (there was a space inserted somehow). Here are
the threads:

http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-questions/2005-August/095212.html
http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-questions/2005-August/095227.html
http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-questions/2005-August/095335.html

I have 5 hard drives, and when copying data between them in certain
configurations (such as drive placement) I get READ and WRITE wouldn
errors. All the cables are brand new, as are two of the hard drives.

Similar errors happened on the last board I had. I had the same model
(Giga-Byte K8NS Pro) a couple months ago that had other issues in
addition to this. I sent it to the factory for a RMA, and a brand new
one came back. Before I sent it in, I was using Windows XP and it would
automatically downgrade it to 100 so I wouldn't see any errors. When I
switched over to FreeBSD and it tried to operate in 133 mode, I got
errors instead of the OS trying to hide it.

Note that throughout this whole problem I never got a "FAILURE" message
until today, except that is only on one drive, and one that I think is
in fact going bad.

It's gotta be something with the controller.

I can't get you the dmesg info right now since I'm doing a scan on that
one hard drive that I think is failing. But it is an nForce 3 chipset on
a Giga-Byte K8NS Pro motherboard.

I would really like to solve the DMA problems, but if not I think the
easiest is trying to downgrade it to UDMA100 on boot, which is what this
post is about.

Thanks

Re: disk fragmentation, <0%?

2005-08-15 Thread Lei Sun

Thanks All,

I think Kris's suggestion worked, as when I was rebuilding of the
atacontrol, I remember it failed once, and had a lot of problem trying
to reboot and unmount the /tmp directory.

So after I rebuild the array, somehow /tmp looks clean to the OS, and
didn't get checked.

so somehow the the stats was not showing the correct information.

I have already rebuild the machine, all of the effect from the
atacontrol rebuild array are gone now, and it seems like everything is
back to normal.

Capacity is right, Used is right, Avail is right, and all 0.0% fragmentation.

Then, my other question is,

If the file space allocation works like Glenn said earlier, how come
with the exact same files from 2 different installations using the
exact procedures, can result in different fragmentation?

in the atacontrol raid1 failure case, /dev/ar0s1a: ... 0.5% fragmentation
in the new build case, /dev/ar0s1a: ... 0.0% fragmentation

That doesn't seems to make a lot of sense.

Thanks again

Lei

As the ipfw manpage states, you can filter on layer-2 header fields (of

It could be that Win98 doesn't correctly list the MAC address in the
packets. You could try using tcpdump to check the packets.

I think you could correct this problem by reversing the rule 
construction. Instead of denying all the bad MACs, create rules that 
permit all the good MACs and that deny all other traffic. All 
packets with unidentified MACs would then get dropped. Of course, 
this won't work if you have some Win98 boxes that you'd like to 
pass, and some that you'd like to drop.


Otherwise, maybe you could fix the problem by installing FreeBSD on 
all the Win98 machines. 8)

If you're trying to keep Win98 computers off the internet without
blocking them from the internal network, you could try manually
configure their NIC's with an internal, nonexistent name
server. Technically, they would have access to the internet; but
without actual IP addresses, non-savvy users would think that
access to the internet is blocked.  (Savvy users could just change
the configuration.) Would this accomplish your goal?  (Do you have
savvy users?)

I have one WinXP computer that's configured this way.  It can still
access shared directories and printers on the local network.

That's what we do now - we have IPSec VPNs between all of our offices.
However, this does not mitigate problem with the number of hops, and the
latency added at each one. It's especially bad in AU, as the ISP they're
using seems to have a large number of routers with latency > 100ms,
sometimes reaching over 200ms.

Ain't nothing magic about a VPN.

IIRC, 98 had a hacked down version of the TCP/IP stack opposed to the
normal unix stack.
All though I don't think this would be a issue, as 98 boxes would not
be able to use any type of switch if the TCP/IP stack did not have
some type of MAC header in it.

Clear your arp table and look to see if you get an arp address for the 98 boxes.
You might find that you have a typo in the address, or pull the MAC

I've never used the PowerChute application, but I do use apcupsd
for all of my APC upses and it works great.  It is ported from linux to 
Freebsd so if you're willing to convert all of them over it would work
great.
But I'm not sure that it will interact with the apcupsd software.

In fact, you're both wrong, because that's clearly not what's going on

The only thing I can think of is that you have some filesystem
corruption on this partition that is confusing the stats.  Try
dropping to single-user mode and running fsck -f /tmp.

Well that sure explains something.  But I was also looking at the
"bind" docs thinking it should be able to read /etc/hosts or call the
name server host's resolver ("gethostbyname", etc.), but didn't find
anything, I suppose because someone thinks it is a bad idea since the
resolver library is supposed to look at both databases.

I'm still wondering if I should be declaring a forward zone for
"localhost" or "localhost.localhost"; it seems kinda strange that
the script would set up a reverse for it, but say nothing about
the forward.

I'm also wondering now what "host"-type command just queries the
resolver.  But I guess "ping" works well enough.

I've tried:

 localhost.localhost/index.html
 (getting desparate:)
 localhost:80/index.html 
 http://localhost/index.html

This worked immediately:
 127.0.0.1/index.html

The bad Mozilla results are a status line saying "Connecting to

after several minutes, with no error message.  I didn't see anything

Installation problems

2005-08-15 Thread Rafael Cepeda

Hi,

I have a HD of 40 GB with the following structure:
1° partition (20 GB) Windows 2000 (NTFS filesystem)
2° partition (20 GB) Empty (FAT32 filesystem)

I want to install freebsd 5.4 on the second partition. But the problem
is that when I enter on fdisk part of freebsd installation, it shows
me just one crazy partition of 8 GB (type unknow) and the rest of
space unused. Have Freebsd some kind of problem with NTFS filesystem ?
If it haven't, how can deal with this ?

OBS: I've a pentium II 233 MHZ with a 98 bios that doesn't recognize
my Maxtor 40GB HD. To solve this problem I had to install a Maxtor
utility that makes an overlay on bios. I used to have a linux
installed on that partition and it recognized the full HD space.

Thanks for the prompt response. FYI, I installed 5.4-RELEASE "over" a 
previous version of 5.3 and made the mistake of assuming that because I 
selected "Standard Install" rather than "Upgrade", I would get a clean 
installation. This morning I reinstalled after removing the entire slice 
(thereby forcing newfs) and everything appears to be working perfectly.


Re:Kris Kennaway's response...

You have stale patches in your ports tree.  I've answered this
question approximately N times, so please search the archives.

Kris

I spent about 30 minutes on the site searching for matches to various 
parts of the error message, read numerous FAQ's, and generally browsed 
the installation guides to try and solve this before writing an e-mail. 
If you or Kris could send me an example of where to search and what to 
search for to find this, it would be helpful. I was using the search 
engine at www.freebsd.org, so I assume that was not the right one.


Really appreciate the help. FreeBSD is a remarkable achievement.

No, that is a slightly different (and complimentary) measure.  
It affects *who* may log in, not *where* logins may come from.

JDBC Driver & lookup Context

I'm trying to connect to mysql database using InitialContext and
DataSource lookup but it not works on FreeBSD 5.4 + tomcat 5.5 + jdk

application seems that reads ok the JNDI Resources variables but when I
invoke dataSource.getConnection() I get the message on SQLException:
"Cannot create JDBC class for 'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'. The fact is if I
use DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql//localhost/mysql?params")
without handle mysql-connector-java.jar and your directories it
(com.mysql.jdbc.Driver) works fine.

``Some of the userland tools support extended numeric IPv6 syntax, as
documented in draft-ietf-ipngwg-scopedaddr-format-00.txt. You can
specify outgoing link, by using name of the outgoing interface like
"fe80::1%ne0". This way you will be able to specify link-local scoped

Counter-Strike, Wine and FreeBSD

2005-08-15 Thread Andrew P.

Hello!

I'm sorry to bother you all guys, but this issue has really become a
crusade for me :)

I'm trying to play Counter-Strike 1.5 on FreeBSD - over network

The easy part was to install wine, closed-source nvidia drivers,
launch CS1.5 - and even play on the local listen server with some
bots. Mouse was not very responsive, but overall performance was
great. It should be noted that CS1.5 did not need any native dll's -
only wine's built in modules.

The problems start when you try to connect to a network server. It
would just hang. It took me three days of messing with wine, googling,
and meditating - to finally decide to ask for help at
freebsd-questions :)

Things I tried: using virtually all combinations of native dll's from
Win98 and WinXP, trying each and every option in .wine/config, trying
all kinds of CS1.5 options, etc.

Things I didn't try yet - they would require some expertise with
wine/freebsd: careful debugging of relays and messages, building wine
from cvs (port is not that old), IPX instead of IP (wild idea), etc.

Come on, people, could somebody help me with this? CS is the single
most popular FPS game out there. I could just give up and fall back to
Linux/Cedega, but that just wouldn't be cool :) I'm sure that if we
sort it out with CS1.5, Steam and Source will just be a matter of
time. And some hundreds of geeks won't have second thoughts about
FreeBSD on their desktop/laptop computers.

I set up a separate Category on my forum in case anyone needs it:
http://www.csme.ru/forum/


Thanks guys,
Andrew P.

Dear inet6 guys,

I don't know the kind of addresses FreeBSD uses for autoconfigured 
link-local addresses.
For example: fe80::20e:cff:fe34:2bf8%em0

What the hack is %em0 ??? Interestingly I can use this address, but ping6 
fe80::20e:cff:fe34:2bf8 doesn't work
The Handbook doesn't clarify this mysterious address. Is it FreeBSD 
specific?

Of course it won't work for nslookup(1); it's not supposed to.
nslookup is specifically intended for querying a name server.  The
documentation for host(1) isn't as clear on the subject, but my
reading of it seems to indicate the same thing.  So why it isn't
working for mozilla is the only anomaly you are seeing.  What is the
syntax you are using for pointing mozilla at your localhost, and what
are the precise results?

If you're convinced it's a FreeBSD problem and you'd like to do future
FreeBSD users a favor, then write up a formal problem report (find link

Installer can't find hdd

2005-08-15 Thread Efren Bravo

 Hi (Old subject: Problem with Seagate hdd),  
  
 I've downloaded 5.4-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso and 5.4-RELEASE-i386-disc2.iso
this weekend and I burned them in CDs but I still have problem with fBSD
installer.  
  
 In fact, I not only have tried with a Fujitsu Model: MPD3043AT hdd but
ST340014A (40Gb barracuda7200.7) hdd as well without results.  
  
 I think that the problems is in fBSD that it doesn't able to communicate
with IDE banks, it raise the errors:  
  
 ata0-master: Failure - ATA-IDENTIFY timed out  
 ata0-master: Failure - ATA-IDENTIFY timed out  
 ata0-master: Failure - ATA-IDENTIFY timed out  
 atapi ... I don't remember the rest  
  
 I've tested the installer in other four PCs and it works well.  
  
 if the motherboard's controller isn't supported by fBSD, what could I do,
should I send to garbage the motherboard?  
  
 Thanks..

RE: FreeBSD Gateway problems

2005-08-15 Thread Ruben Bloemgarten


Hi Tim, 

Which of the firewalls do you want to use and if you want to use both what
do you want the functionality to be? If you can send your rc.conf,ipf.conf
and ipnat.conf I could check out the ipf part and see if I find anything.
Obviously Glen's experience with ipfw is more extensive than mine so he
would most likely be of more help on that front. It would however of great
help to know what you're trying to accomplish.

Subject: FreeBSD Gateway problems


For years I've used a FreeBSD as my gateway.  Well I haven't had a high
speed connection for 3 years now, and I've just gotten it back.  Since
then I've reloaded the machine from 4.3 to 5.3.  I thought I had it all
set up so when I did get connection, I could make a quick edit to my 
rc.conf and I'd be ready to go.  Well turns out I was way off.

The machine has no problems geting an IP from the cable modem, and I can
get anywhere I want from that machine directly.  (I'm currently ssh'd to
the router machine to send email, use w3m to find How-Tos)  But it won't
pass traffic from the rest of the network.

Here are the settings in my rc.conf:

gateway_enable="YES"  # Enable as Lan gateway
# firewall_enable="YES"
natd_enable="YES"
natd_interface="xl0"
natd_flags="-f /etc/natd.conf"
ipmon_enable="YES"
ipmon_flags="-Ds"

The firewall_enable is disable now because when it's turned on, I can't 
actually get out from directly on the machine.  At this point I just want
it to do the routing and then I can work on building a firewall afterwards.

Before I did the update and rebuilt the kernel yesterday, I had these
options
in rc.conf

# ipnat_enable="YES"# Start ipnat function
# ipnat_rules="/etc/ipnat.rules"# rules definition file for ipnat
# ipfilter_enable="YES" # Start ipf firewall
# ipfilter_rules="/etc/ipf.rules"   # loads rules definition text file

Well all these other How-Tos I found on FreeBSDDiary.org told me all I
needed
was "gateway_enable=YES" and "firewall_enable=YES".  Also to add these two 
options to the kernel:

options IPFILTER
options IPDIVERT


But that wasn't working.  Another mentioned I needed
defaultrouter="192.168.2.254",
but that's not doing it either.  It wasn't actually running nat, and I'd get
errors
if I tried to start.  Here's the message I saw at boot after a new kernel.

1: unexpected keyword (any) - from
/sbin/ipf: /etc/ipf.rules: parse error (-1), quitting
/etc/rc: WARNING: NO IPNAT RULES

After following some other How-Tos I tried running ipfw, but I keep getting
an error
message that won't return any helpful searches from Google.

# ipnat -f /etc/ipnat.conf 
ioctl(SIOCGNATS): Operation not permitted
# ipfw -f flush
ipfw: setsockopt(IP_FW_FLUSH): Protocol not available
# ipf -FA -f /etc/ipf.rules 
ioctl(SIOCIPFFL): Operation not permitted
# ipfw add divert natd all from any to any via xl0
ipfw: getsockopt(IP_FW_ADD): Protocol not available

None of those error messages will give me anything to go.  So I'm at a lose
here.  Can
anybody point me to How-To, or share their rc.conf edits to make this work?

I know this was a little long, but thanks in advance for the help.

Re: disk fragmentation, <0%?

2005-08-15 Thread Lei Sun

This happened, after I tested the atacontrol to rebuild the raid1.

The /tmp partition doesn't have anything but several empty directories created.

and I have the clear /tmp directive in the rc.conf, which will clean
up the /tmp everytime when system boot up.

So that was really wierd. as it never happened this way the previous
time that I was rebuilding the raid1.

Thanks

Lei

Re: After Partitioning a Drive: WARNING - WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRCerror (retrying request)

Well, it's a week later and I've been trying some things. I don't want 
to get in to too much complicated detail, but I've now got the following 
disk setup:


Primary Master - 200GB 7200RPM
Secondary Master - TDK VeloCD CD Burner
Secondary Slave - Sony DRU500A
RAID0 Master - 160GB 7200RPM
RAID0 Slave - 160GB 7200RPM

I don't have the two 80GB's or 60GB's in there now since I was just 
testing with this setup. I thought keeping the OS drive on primary 
master and the rest on RAID would do the trick, but it didn't.


Bottom line is, I'm still getting the same errors with several different 
configurations of the drives. Now in the last couple of days I'm also 
getting READ DMA errors when reading from one of the 160GB drives as 
well. Before it was all just WRITE, but now some READs are thrown in 
there as well.


I should note that I have never seen a "FAILURE" message, only the 
"WARNING" messages. Also, if I downgrade the speed to UDMA100, it seems 
to work just fine as it does in UDMA66 mode.


I'm wondering if anyone else has any ideas? Personally I'm out, and if 
nobody else knows (including Maxtor, Giga-Byte, and my parts 
distributor) then I'm going to have to see what I can do to get another 
brand/model motherboard. I'm to the point where I think it's something 
with their controller and how it handles Maxtor drives. Now that I 
remember, I used to see similar results when running Windows on the 
previous board before sending it in (same model). However Windows would 
automatically take it down to 100 so I didn't see any errors.


Anyone think its something other than the board and it's controllers, or 
is that a pretty good estimate?


Thanks in advance.

Okay well I tried another test. I left the 160GB on the primary IDE

I copied the data over again. No errors this time. I checksummed the 
data, and everything is OK.

Without another known-working mainboard to test, you can't really be

cabling, perhaps a marginal or failing mainboard.



The cables are new, and the other drive on the same channel works in 
UDMA133 with no errors.


The motherboard is new as well, fresh from the factory (unless it's 
defective).


If you use BIOS or atacontrol to slow down to UDMA 33 speeds, does 
everything work OK?



I tried slowing it down to UDMA66 speeds via atacontrol, and the errors 
went away on the 80GB. I haven't tried the 60GB drive yet.

Yeah, and lower resolutions and more flicker (lower refresh rates)
usually give sharper images.

I once got rid of a lot of fuzziness by wrapping the video cable with
aluminum foil; which was feasible because it was only a few inches
between the MB and a backpanel connector.  But you might consider your
longer video cable routing to keep it as far as possible from RF noise.

I've also seen a montitor get fuzzy when setting too close to a noisy
computer or another monitor.

Another thing that sometimes helps and sometimes hurts is to give your
monitor a good slap.

If you would like to permit ssh logins from specific IP addresses you
should take a look at:

man 5 hosts_access
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/tcpwrappers.html
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls.html

It's definetely a very good idea to search the available online &
offline documentation before posting already documented and ansewred
questions.

So, is there swap space somewhere?



Maybe yes, maybe not: you won't find the answer in rc.conf and 
swapoff="YES" doesn't say anything about that.


Try "swapinfo".

I ran swapinfo:

Spend some time with the boot, boot0cfg, fdisk, bsdlabel, manpages and
the handbook.  Note that fdisk can install either a DOS-type MBR (and
set active part) or a FreeBSD-type MBR (use F1...).  Also note that
fdisk does not install the boot records that are probably not working
for you: the ones at the start of your primary partition.  These are
installed by "bsdlabel" with -B option.
