Just mount the cd then pkg_add /mnt/cd/packages/*/pkg_name

man pkg_add

Hello,

I think you have to add "-t cd9660" (like when mounting a normal CDROM,
otherwise FreeBSD tries to mount it as a normal UFS filesystem).

mount -t cd9660 /dev/md1 /mnt/loop1
mount -t cd9660 /dev/md2 /mnt/loop2

Hope that helps.

Best Regards,
Ale

5.4 package install woes... :(

2005-05-13 Thread Bill Schoolcraft
Hello Family,

Well, it's been two days now of watching both from work and from
home the building of "/usr/ports/x11/kde3" and I started this
thinking it would be an hour or two adventure for after about 19
"inserting/reinserting" of disks 1 then 2 then 1 then 2 etc of
just trying to do what I've always done with one install disk
with FreeBSD.

So, while kde3 is still building from ports I copied both full
iso images to my new FreeBSD box in hopes of maybe mounting them
in loopback and offering the two ISO images up via
/stand/sysinstall as a source for packages.  I cannot seem to
get the new "mdconfig" to mount the iso's.  

Here is the command I'm using.

(first made mount points of /mnt/loop1 and /mnt/loop2)

##

mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /iso/5.4-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso -u 1
mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /iso/5.4-RELEASE-i386-disc2.iso -u 2

mount /dev/md1 /mnt/loop1
mount: /dev/md1 on /mnt/loop1: incorrect super block

mount /dev/md2 /mnt/loop2
mount: /dev/md2 on /mnt/loop2: incorrect super block

These two iso images are the exact same ones that worked fine
with the install, all MD5 sums are correct.

##

So the deeper I dig myself into this hole the more I ask myself
how can I just choose all my optional binary packages to install
from the "post install" menu and just have FreeBSD-5.4 have me
install "disk-1" once and "disk-2" once and all my package
choices are done.

I'm anxious to use this version of FreeBSD, been using this OS
since the 3.4 and was really bummed out to have to post this
email but we are all family and I have no where else to ask
this.

Namaste

Thanks for the above information, it does give me a new view on
the problem and some angles of approach that sound good.

It's probably easier to just copy the packages off of there and use
pkg_add rather than sysinstall.  But it should be fine either way.

You forgot the "-t cd9660" option to mount.
If you leave that out, mount will try to treat the filesystem as UFS.

A little tricky, but someone could write code to do that.  It would
probably require a bit of intelligence up front, to make sure that
nothing on Disc 1 had any dependencies on Disc 2.  Or maybe just to
copy all of the packages from both CDs in /usr/ports/packages and then
install the requested ones.

5.4 package install woes.... :(

2005-05-12 Thread Bill Schoolcraft
Hello Family,

Well, it's been two days now of watching both from work and from
home the building of "/usr/ports/x11/kde3" and I started this
thinking it would be an hour or two adventure for after about 19
"inserting/reinserting" of disks 1 then 2 then 1 then 2 etc of
just trying to do what I've always done with one install disk
with FreeBSD.

So, while kde3 is still building from ports I copied both full
iso images to my new FreeBSD box in hopes of maybe mounting them
in loopback and offering the two ISO images up via
/stand/sysinstall as a source for packages.  I cannot seem to
get the new "mdconfig" to mount the iso's.  

Here is the command I'm using.

(first made mount points of /mnt/loop1 and /mnt/loop2)

##

mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /iso/5.4-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso -u 1
mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /iso/5.4-RELEASE-i386-disc2.iso -u 2

mount /dev/md1 /mnt/loop1
mount: /dev/md1 on /mnt/loop1: incorrect super block

mount /dev/md2 /mnt/loop2
mount: /dev/md2 on /mnt/loop2: incorrect super block

These two iso images are the exact same ones that worked fine
with the install, all MD5 sums are correct.

##

So the deeper I dig myself into this hole the more I ask myself
how can I just choose all my optional binary packages to install
from the "post install" menu and just have FreeBSD-5.4 have me
install "disk-1" once and "disk-2" once and all my package
choices are done.

I'm anxious to use this version of FreeBSD, been using this OS
since the 3.4 and was really bummed out to have to post this
email but we are all family and I have no where else to ask
this.

Namaste
