CD Boot to install hangs
Hello, I am re-asking as it's rather urgent. I have burned a CD of PowerPC 8.2 to install on my old iMac G3. It boots, but it stops at the line that reads: acd0: DVDROM at ata0-slave UDMA33 What the heck does that mean, and why does it get stuck? More importantly, how do I fix it?

Boot from DVD to install hangs
Hello, I have burned a DVD (I was out of CDs) image of PowerPC 8.2 to install on my old iMac G3. However, it stops at the line that reads: acd0: DVDROM at ata0-slave UDMA33 What the heck does that mean, and why does it get stuck?

How to delete a line from setenv?
Hi list, This is a very basic question, but how do I delete a value from setenv? I screwed up when changing a few things...don't ask.

No login prompt when ssh-ing into my machine.
Hi list, Sorry to bother you with two questions in 24hrs :P. I have set up sshd so I can access my FreeBSD box anywhere on my LAN. I've noticed a problem, though, when I try to get in. If I'm in my OS X terminal: alex$ ssh 192.168.2.7 Password: That's the issue. No login, no banner. From the reading and Googling I've done it seems that it's trying to login as my current OS X user, and when I type *ssh alardner@192.168.2.7 *it connects fine, but I don't want to have to do it that way. How can I get it to show the login prompt as well? -Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Re: How to customize login?
Yes, but by banner I mean /etc/issue. Here's what I get now when I boot up/switch to a new console: Welcome to the Magnolia/Foothill FreeBSD Portable! This system running FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE Please log in with the username and password provided to you: /*Note: Until this point it's all been /etc/issue. This next part I want to get rid of.*/ FreeBSD/i386 (Amnesiac) (ttyvX /*where X is the console number*/) Then it is followed by the login prompt.

How to customize login?
Hello list, I have set a banner welcoming anybody on the console. I still see the "FreeBSD/i386 (Amnesiac) (ttyvX)" message. How can I stop this from displaying? I'd like the banner to be the only thing displayed.

Re: Mailing list etiquette (Was: Re: Linksys-E4200 Wireless N-router)
Can we just drop this matter? It's bad enough that iPhone mail makes this whole ordeal a pain in the butt to read, but in the grand scheme of things, it _just doesn't matter_. I'm subscribed to the list, I expect lots of email from the list that I probably won't read anyway, but at least it's helpful to someone, somehow. My 2 cents. -Alex___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
