hotkeys
Hello. I need some help, ideeas regarding how to make the hotkeys from a keyboard work in FreeBSD. xev for example does not show them as events or anything else. My keyboard is an Hewlett Packard USB Keyboard and I'm trying to make it's hotkeys useful on FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE. Thanks in advance for any suggestions, ideeas. Cheers, Florin ___ BT Yahoo!

With this config file: http://tinfed.dap.ro/PONY I compiled a kernel that has 2.1MB in size. Probably I shouldn't compare it with others, but is it not too big? Download Yahoo!

unneeded modules
Hi. I would like to know if there is any way to not compile in the kernel drivers I don't need. For example kldstat -v shows that lots of miibus modules are loaded when i just need pnaphy, or lots of agp modules when I just need intel. Please excuse my poor english, as I am not a native speaker. Thanks in advance for any suggestions, pointers. Download Yahoo!

You might want to try this instead: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/fd0 bs=1024 Then you need to create a filesystem on the disk: mkfs -t ext2 /dev/fd0 Then you can try mounting it: mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy - Jamie > > Thanks in advance for any suggestions. > > > > - > Want to chat instantly with your online friends?

Well... I don't want to write a floppy, just trying to read one. The situation is I created this floppy on a windows computer and I am trying to read it on my home computer which has "just" FreeBSD and Linux. I did what you suggested: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/fd0 bs=1024 dd: /dev/fd0: Input/output error :(( Someone else suggested I should try to mount /dev/fd0a, but I noticed in FreeBSD 5.0 and above /dev/fd0a is a symbolic link to /dev/fd0. And someone else suggested the mtools. Those didn't work either. Trying to "mdir a:" resulted in Can't open /dev/fd0: Input/output error Cannot initialize 'A:' error messages. Finally, trying to "fdformat -f 1440 /dev/fd0" another good floppy, resulted in the same I/O error message: # fdformat -f 1440 /dev/fd0 Format 1440K floppy `/dev/fd0'? (y/n): y Processing fdformat: ioctl(FD_FORM): Input/output error When I tryied those things I noticed the floppy doesn't even spins, just the led lights up for a while.

fdisk
Hi, I'm a newbie that's been doing stuff and now needs help. I have two harddrives, on the master drive there's FreeBSD 5.0 and on the slave drive you could find Slackware 9. I used lilo from the slackware drive as a boot loader and installed it in the master boot record of the first drive, the one with FreeBSD. Now, I erased Slackware and my system won't boot. I need help to install the FreeBSD bootloader. Please help! Thanks. - Want to chat instantly with your online friends?

Hello. I am using FreeBSD 4.8 for learning. I love it, is my operating system of choice. I have some problems however. I installed it on a system and after a while I decided I want it on another system too. But the first install was thru ftp and it was a big effort so I didn't want to ftp it again (and bother all those people) so I looked for a different solution. It came from one of you guys: dump and restore. I did this: I put the second harddrive in the system as secondary master and created a slice and partitions. The harddrives both had windows partitions on them so the source slice was /dev/ad0s2 and the destination slice was /dev/ad2s2. Then I mounted the partitions I wanted to fill up and for each one did a dump and a restore. For example, the /usr partition got this: #mount /dev/ad2s2g /mnt/s2/usr #dump -0uaf - /dev/ad0s2g | (cd /mnt/s2/usr; restore -rf - ) Now the system I just created has a problem which I hope you can help me with. The kernel fills up ttyv0 with messages like these: fxp0: SCB timeout: 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xfff fxp0: device timeout fxp0: SCB timeout: 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xfff fxp0: SCB timeout: 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xfff fxp0: SCB timeout: 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xfff fxp0: DMA timeout and they keep on coming Now I don't think it's a hardware problem, the two systems are absolutely the same and I didn't have any problems before (with windows). Help me? Thank you in advance for any suggestions. - Want to chat instantly with your online friends?

Hello, I have FreeBSD 4.8 Release. At one time I pulled out the network cable and I got this message: rl0: reset never completed The system was doing something, not much, like pinging, I don't recall exactly. After that, at the first boot, in dmesg I found this: rl0: chip is is in D3 power mode -- setting to D0 Just that dmesg, no others, and with 'is' twice :). Now every ping I do, results in: sendto: host is down and it isn't. On the same sistem resides a windows which is not bothered by anything. What is wrong? What did I do? How can I undo it?

ata0-slave: ATA identify failed
Hello. I am a beginner with FreeBSD (I have 5.0 DP2) and I compiled a kernel, starting from the GENERIC configuration file. Didn't change anything in the ata section, except I took out the tape device and the ATA_STATIC_ID (as a last thing when I didn't know what to do anymore). The problem is at boot time, it waits a while for a slave drive, which never existed. Other than that, it works just fine. The master drive is a really old one, here are the prints of some commands: # dmesg | grep ata atapci0: port 0xf000-0xf00f at device 31.1 pci0 ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0 ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0 ata0-slave: timeout waiting for interrupt ata0-slave: ATA identify failed ad0: 2060MB [4186/16/63] at ata0-master WDMA2 # atacontrol list ATA channel 0: Master: ad0 ATA/ATAPI rev 0 Slave: no device present ATA channel 1: Master: no device present Slave: no device present # atacontrol mode 0 Master = WDMA2 Slave= ??? I took out from device.hints the references to ata, compiled the kernel without them but the same stuff happens. It's not a big deal, the waiting, but I'd like to know what did I do wrong, cause this isn't happening with the generic or the debug kernel. Thank you, bye. - Yahoo!
