No, that is regarding traditional partitioning. But it's
not the 3rd partition, it's the 'c' partition, which means
nothing more or less than "the whole device" or "the whole
slice". In today's FreeBSD /dev representation, the 'c' is
left out, e. g. /dev/ad0c = /dev/ad0, and /dev/da3s2c = /dev/da3s2.
For GPT partitions, that doesn't matter. It's only relevant
for the kind of partitions disklabel (bsdlabel) creates
inside a slice or directly on the device.

Reserved names (or those with special purpose) are 'a'
for a bootable partition, 'b' for a swap partition and
'c' for "the whole slice or disk". I think even 'd' has
had a special meaning, but I didn't encounter it yet,
even though I'm using FreeBSD since 4.0. :-)

Partitions created with the gpart / gpt tools usually use
e. g. /dev/ad0p1 and so on for partitioning, if I remember
correctly. Additionally, I typically point to

http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/disksetup.html

to encourage the use of labels, because that lets you leave
devices names alone.

More information can be found here:

http://www.daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=2666

http://www.freebsdonline.com/content/view/731/506/

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html

And also

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/geom-glabel.html

regarding labels (GEOM labels, UFS labels, UFSIDs).

Maybe that is significant only on older hardware where you
intendedly want to preserve the "traditional" approach of
MBR partitioning, maybe to keep compatibility with other
systems that have trouble with GPT layouts.

The version number should not be the problem. It's only important
that the boot elements installed refer to the layout that is
present on disk correctly.

Thanks Warren!

I was always under the impression that partition 3 was not to be touched as the 
"raw"
partition, so figured it was best left alone.
I was mostly concerned with installing MBR so it would still be compatible with
sysinstall, although I can't really think of a terribly good reason not to go 
GPT.
Installing the bootcode gets me a step closer, but is now puking at the loader. 
I'm not
sure if this is because the bootcode is coming from and 8.1 install, but at 
this point I'm
pretty much out of time and out of patience for this, since it is something of 
a bandaid
situation anyway.

FreeBSD Install Problem

2012-09-07 Thread Chris Neudorf
Hello,

I have a problem installing FreeBSD 9.0 Releaseon my Lenovo Thinkpad R61i 
laptop (4GB RAM, 160GB HDD, 32-bit). It doesn't matter if I tried installing it 
from the CD or the DVD, I still have the same problem. I even tried 
re-downloading and re-burning a new CD or DVD, and I'm still unable to install. 
I even have problems going through the "sysinstall" route.


In the installation process, I'm able to go far to the partitioning area in 
where the problem occurs. I click for "Guided" partitioning and then I receive 
this "Abort" message:

Abort

I agree and understand this, hence I am not allowed to give away details

We use FreeBSD for our lockbox/remittance processing system. We have
non-disclosure agreements which prevent me from mentioning bank names,
but the most prominent players use our system running FreeBSD.

Last year our systems processed well over 1.6 trillion dollars in
financial transactions. We do have a few smaller systems running Linux,
however all but a fairly negligible amount of that dollar total was
processed by systems running FreeBSD.

That's nmot 100% the procedure. Please refer to the comment
header of /usr/src/Makefile for the full description. It should
also be mentioned in The FreeBSD Handbook.

1.  `cd /usr/src'   (or to the directory containing your source tree).
2.  `make buildworld'
3.  `make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC).
4.  `make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE'   (default is GENERIC).
 [steps 3. & 4. can be combined by using the "kernel" target]
5.  `reboot'(in single user mode: boot -s from the loader prompt).
6.  `mergemaster -p'
7.  `make installworld'
8.  `make delete-old'
9.  `mergemaster'(you may wish to use -i, along with -U or -F).
10.  `reboot'
11.  `make delete-old-libs' (in case no 3rd party program uses them anymore)

The proper use of mergemaster and the two delete* targets
seems to be different from your description.


You are correct, of course.  Actually that is what I have been doing, 
except that I have been running 'make delete-old' after mergemaster. 
Also, I have been deleting /usr/obj/* before 'cd /usr/src' and after 'cd 
/usr/src' running 'make cleandir && make cleandir'.


Thanks for the clarification.

That's nmot 100% the procedure. Please refer to the comment
header of /usr/src/Makefile for the full description. It should
also be mentioned in The FreeBSD Handbook.

 1.  `cd /usr/src'   (or to the directory containing your source tree).
 2.  `make buildworld'
 3.  `make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC).
 4.  `make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE'   (default is GENERIC).
  [steps 3. & 4. can be combined by using the "kernel" target]
 5.  `reboot'(in single user mode: boot -s from the loader prompt).
 6.  `mergemaster -p'
 7.  `make installworld'
 8.  `make delete-old'
 9.  `mergemaster'(you may wish to use -i, along with -U or -F).
10.  `reboot'
11.  `make delete-old-libs' (in case no 3rd party program uses them anymore)

The proper use of mergemaster and the two delete* targets
seems to be different from your description.

Packet Filter does not work


Hi,

you might want to give more information other than that.



when i updated from fbsd82 to fbsd90 using buildworld, buildkernel, 
installkernel, reboot, installworld, mergemaster, and make check-old, then 
packet filter simply did not load.  others on the list had the same 
problem.  i do not recall if it was specific to amd64.


now that i have updated from fbsd90 to fbsd91rc, ipv6 of packet filter is 
broken.  i can not connect to ipv6 services.  nmap run against the machine 
reports per usual with -4 flag and using -6 flag reports no opened ports. 
ssh and auth should be open.  i substituted a very simple pf.conf and got 
the same result.


i think that there is no troubleshooting to be done, but if you want 
further information then i will send it.

I have tested a simple pf.conf on this system with the same result.
It seems like I will need to learn ipfw or give up on fbsd.

pf is way back level in Freebsd, the online openbsd pf manual is at the 
current pf level and uses the newer syntax for the nat function. You have to 
use the freebsd pf man pages for correct matching documentation.

You can always use ipf (ipfilter) instead of ipfw.



thanks for your kind response.
