Are you sure your CC/CXX or other make.conf settings are not causing you trouble? (The best way to determine this is to run a buildworld without any make.conf file at all.) I renamed /etc/make.conf and tried again, and... it built! Yes, there must be something in my make.conf that buildworld doesn't like much (I have no idea what it would be), thanks for the hint! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Wanna give me a hint? I'm really sorry I underestimated you, I misunderstood your question in the first place. From what I gather, these labels come straight from /boot/boot0, not from boot0cfg. Looking at the boot0 source code (found at /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot0/boot0.S), you can see that the OS options are hard-coded into the boot0 program, so there is no way to edit that other than by changing the source code and recompiling. Did you try using Grub instead? It now supports UFS2, and is a great bootloader, with lots of features. You can find it in your ports tree. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How safe is it to mount an ext3 partition?
How safe is it to mount an ext3 partition from a current (up-to-date Debian Unstable with kernel 2.6) Linux distro? About an year ago I had problems mounting my ext3 partition as ext2, even as read-only; it led to the corruption of the filesystem. Can it be safely done now, with an up-to-date 5.3 FreeBSD? Thanks for your help. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Supported six-channel sound cards
Greetings all, As a desktop FreeBSD user, I'd like to know if there is a list of supported 5.1 sound cards somewhere. The Holy Handbook mentions some supported cards, yes, but it doesn't say whether they are supported in 5.1 mode or only plain stereo. My current card, an onboard nForce (A7N8X-E Deluxe motherboard), is capable of 5.1, but the drivers currently don't offer this possibility (maybe in the near future?), and all I have is stereo. My FreeBSD is 5.3 with kernel and ports tree updated half an hour ago. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
