Re: Mounting/examining dd image?
Hm, anything that works in Freebsd 4.9? I've never been able to install 5.0 or higher on this machine, it always freezes when booting.

Yes there is: mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /path/to/dd/image/file That will cause the file to be treated as an md device. See also man mdconfig. The output of that command is the newly created /dev/md? device node. Depending on whether you dumped the whole disk, a slice, or a partition there may be additional devices. If you dd'ed the whole disk your former root partition might show up as /dev/md0s1a, for example. Once you've identified the device node(s) that contain(s) the filesystem(s) you're interested in, just mount it/them like you would any other device, e.g. mount /dev/md0s1a /mnt JN ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FreeBSD 4.11 binary compatibility (libm.so.2, etc)

Bandwidth limiting with ipfw and dummynet
I'd like to limit him to 384Kbit/sec.Can someone help me get bandwidth limiting working? I've tried all the examples I could find via google but none of them work. My roomate is frequently uploading stuff to his office, and when he does, it completely saturates our outbound link and makes everything very pokey. His IP address is 10.0.2.195 and we've got FreeBSD set up as a router for our cable modem, with natd. I added the pipe to limit the bw: ipfw pipe 1 config bw 384Kbit I added a rule for his IP: ipfw add 10 pipe 1 tcp from 10.0.2.195 to any Doing ipfw show doesn't show any packets ever matching that rule. # ipfw show 00010 00 pipe 1 tcp from 10.0.2.195 to any 00015 00 pipe 1 tcp from any to 10.0.2.195 00050 21745 18784920 divert 8668 ip from any to any via dc0 00100 8 1036 allow ip from any to any via lo0 00200 00 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8 00300 00 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any 65000 44051 37589386 allow ip from any to any 65535 00 deny ip from any to any Is the natd divert rule somehow interfering? -jsd- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Realtek (re(4)) Driver in 6.1
I'm about to install 6.1 on a machine that's been happily ticking away with 4.1.1 for years now. (I need to upgrade it to gigabit ethernet.) Does the default kernel on the 6.1-R installation CD include the realtek re(4) driver?

Thanks for FBSD6
Just a note to say thanks to all the hard working people who created FBSD6. I spent an annoying week trying to get some minimal lightweight Linux distros to work out of the box on an ancient laptop that I had lying around. They all had various problems, such as: unable to recognize/configure the wireless ethernet card, or the X server wouldn't come up properly. FBSD6 worked basically out of the box. I had to create a custom script in rc.d to get the wireless to work on boot, but that was about it. basically the meat of the script looks like: ifconfig ath0 ssid my wireless network dhclient ath0 if someone can tell me what /etc/rc.conf options i need to set to duplicate that, that would be cool. i played around with it for a while but never got it to work without my custom script. -jsd- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
installing 4.9-R: READ command timeout
