9.0 install problems
When I boot the CD I get a different menu, ie., boot, shell, install. Since the CD is in the CD-ROM drawer and I know how to use sysinstall (or so I thought!,) I get a fresh shell and say "sysinstall". Okay? Except I can't write the disk. Notice, I have not explicitly mounted it or done anything to reserve it. I need a procedure to do this please. It's just a small machine. But having this up let's me do a backup and once I've backed up the disks on my other computers, then I can do some serious stuff with 9.0. I'd like to use sysinstall, if possible. I know it and I like it. I do have some other FBSD boxes nearby, each with TCP/IP running fine; But I'm not knowledgeable with PXE. ___ 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: Install problems with CD
If I remember right this is a known issue with some older distro CD's (the boot code doesn't need any kind of software driver for the CD but the install code does)... I suggest either using a newer version like 6.2 or using the install from network option for install medium. --Aryeh On 9/28/07, Fernando Apesteguía <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > This is my very first post in this list, so I beg for your patience :) > > I'm trying to install FreeBSD 6.1 on an IBM Netfinity 5000.

Install problems with CD
Hi all, This is my very first post in this list, so I beg for your patience :) I'm trying to install FreeBSD 6.1 on an IBM Netfinity 5000. I have the two CD's set. The machine uses a IDE DVD drive, and 5 SCSI disks. I boot the machine and the CD starts to boot. I select the FreeBSD normal booting. Everything seems to be fine. I can see the messages about the detected devices (BIOS CDROM is cd0 and so on...) I start the installation, The disks are detected, I set up my partitions and then I select the CD/DVD media installation... and then I get a No CD/DVD drive is present. The drive is working in terms of hardware (I can run several live CD linux distros for example) and then access the CD as usual. How is it possible that after booting with FreeBSD the sysinstall (?) program doesn't detect the cd?

In FreeBSD, I guess you have to explicitly install the Kernel. It can be found under DISTRIBUTION, Kernel - Generic / SMP. Select the one you want to. and let it install the kernel. Then follow the other installation steps, and then it should run properly. I also am new to FreeBSD. Doing what is mentioned above solved the problem for me. :) Just wondering why the FreeBSD installer doesn't include the Kernel by default! -- Regards, Amit.

Install Problems

Would you like to adjust your media configuration and try again?". I copied the above from a post I found searching google. This is the exact problem I have.

Install problems RE: bootloader
I have made the decision to move from Linux to FreeBSD as the OS for our web server and desktops because I am more comfortable with the FreeBSD philosopy. I have a small network in my office that consisted of several Linux boxes and one computer with Windows on hd0 and Linux on hd1. The install on the straight Linux boxes has gone without a hitch. The Windows/Linux Box is another story. During the install, it tells me that since I am installion FreeBSD on hd1, that I will have a chance to install the bootloader to hd0 at a later time. I have installed the OS twice and on both occasions I am never given an opportunity to install the boot loader. The OS will install without a problem, but when I reboot the machine, it hangs with GRUB being the last thing displayed on the moniter. What have I missed?

RE: install problems on old Compaq Armada 4110
Hi, Okay, the BIOS settings you describe don't exist on this old thing, and I did eject the NIC. I have played some more with the device settings, and I noticed something that may help get this working: In the OpenBSD dmesg, the keyboard controller is at isa port 0x60, while the setting in the "hint" line was 0x060. I tried 0x60 with the same result :( I guess PCs probably all see the keyboard at the same place, hard coded into the specification, and I don't know how those settings are read by the kernel. However, through very slow reboots from the floppy set, I have noticed while the kernel is booting this message: atkbd0 attach returned 6 I am not a programmer, but that sounds bad. The onboard keyboard is dead, so I am using an external PS/2 keyboard through the PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse port. Does this help?

Install Problems
My actual computer, an AMD Duron is actually split on three OS: Windows XP, Mandrake Linux, Slackware Linux I want to check the FREE BSD 5.1 on it but, before, I tested it on my old PC - That is a Pentium based P133, 16 Mo memory, 3 G dd, Windows 95 I firstly gave all the disk to BSD and starting the install. You mention that you need at least 5 Mo for install and 4 Mo to work. It could be in theory. With my 16 Mo after some 17 hours I gave up. The font75DPI package is one that never lasts. So I decided to make a compatibilty test with Windows 95. I made a new partitioning, some 800 Mo for Win95, the rest for BSD.I installed Win95 I choosed a "minimum" install, I was trapped choosing Linux applications, quite long, ending with an error. I re-started, avoiding Linux appli. Install operated in a reasonable short time. -- But, my actual problem is: After install and rebooting I could'nt access BSD neither Windows. I tried, after reinstalling Win, all the modes of booting. MBR, does'nt work in neither OS No change of boot area: freeze all systems, a message displayed : error in intializing OS. The best results: SBR. It displays on booting F1 Dos, F2 BSD But function keys F1 and F2 are simply "screaming" and do'nt have any effect. Frozen. I'm working with an AZERTY keyboard. That's my real problem, the long install pb is obviously due to memory size. And second question: Why Install does'nt make an emergency diskette boot facility ? You have BSD installed, no way to make it work because a BSD problem.

HP Vectra VL install problems
Hi folks I'm trying to install 4.8 on a HP Vectra machine. I don't know the precise model number, it's a PII-400 with both PCI and ISA slots. I think it's a 5xxx series. I've tried both boot floppies and CDrom, with the same results: The system boots off the selected media, presents me with the kernel loading messages, allows me to config the kernel, then pops up the sysinstall screen. Then hangs solid. Not even numlock/caps lock key lights are operative. I have removed the network card, the Adaptec raid controller, and swapped out the RAM. There are currently NO PCI or IDE cards in the machine and I still get the same problem Unfortunately the boot messages scroll past too quickly for me to note them. Does anyone have any ideas? (or let me know if I can give you any more information?) Thanks!

This is where the ports collection comes into play: First you can search it for the desired port: % cd /usr/ports % make search name=wxPython Port: py22-wxPython-2.4.0.7 Path: /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/py-wxPython % cd x11-toolkits/py-wxPython % make install clean (PyCrypto is also avialable in that collection). For more information regarding the ports collection you should consult the handbook http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ports.html and/or ports(7). I'm looking for the FreeBSD equivalent of apt-get in > Debian. Probably I will need to setup several client computers in the end, > so an automated installation would be the best (download and install > required packages/ports for the selected package/port automatically). You can build your own packages with the ports collection (just use make package instead of make install). But if the machines will have exactly the same disk layout, setting up a master and cloning it with dd(1) might be more efficient.

This was one reason why I decided to use FreeBSD. I know > the solution is out there but I don't know where it is. You want the "ports" collection; located by default in /usr/ports. If you didn't install it initially, you can do so with sysinstall. Ports are source code bundles along with FreeBSD tweaks and installation defaults. You want to use "cvsup" to update the port information database regularly, and it's recommended that you use the "portupgrade" utility to handle port interdependencies. See the FreeBSD handbook for details on the above. Having done so, my routine for updating all 100+ applications on my machine is reduced to: cvsup-ports ; Make sure my ports database is up-to-date pkgdb -F ; Make sure my installed packages database is consistent portupgrade -ra ; Download, compile, and install all updated applications BTW, both the apps you specified are indeed in the ports collection presently.

Totally newbie - install problems
Hi All! I'm totally new to FreeBSD. I used Linux before but I decided to try FreeBSD. I just downloaded FreeBSD 4.8 from a public ftp site and installed a brand new system with X and full development tools. I have some questions. I read about the differences between Linux and FreeBSD. I like the idea that there is only one official FreeBSD. I'm going to develop cross platform, multi tiered applications using Python and it is nice to have a free and compact system which I can offer to my clients. But I need other packages like "wxPython", "PyCrypto" and others for my work. I know I can download the source code and compile them. I could also find binaries but the dependency tree is endless (and I had version problems too). I read the comparison where someone said FreeBSD is even better than Debian in this matter. This was one reason why I decided to use FreeBSD. I know the solution is out there but I don't know where it is. I'm looking for the FreeBSD equivalent of apt-get in Debian. Probably I will need to setup several client computers in the end, so an automated installation would be the best (download and install required packages/ports for the selected package/port automatically). Can you help me? Sorry for the long e-mail. Thanks in advance.

FTP install problems
I have been having a hard time installing 4.7 release via ftp for almost 2 days. I have been getting really slow download speeds of about .7-1.5 K. I have an ADSL connection which is working fine otherwise, so I don't think the problem is in my network. Also, when I am able to connect to an ftp site often the download will stop and I will be presented with the FTP site selection screen. Anyone know what is causing this, any help will be appreciated. Is there something wrong with the FTP network? Please respond to this email address.

FreeBSD 5 install problems
Trying to install FreeBSD 5.0 on an inspiron 2500. I have 2.5GB of uninitialized space. When I boot of the cdrom it begins to load everything for the installation and gets stuck at "pci2: on pcib2" ... I have looked at the instructions for installing this and cant figure out what I am doing wrong. Has anyone installed FreeBSD before and run into a problem like this??? can they give me some guidance as to what is going wrong here??? Is there something wrong with the way I am attempting the installation??? Thanks -Scott _ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

After grepping my fingers to the bone, I found a file that not only talked about an ident table, but also looked relevant, at /usr/src/sys/dev/fxp/if_fxp.c Now don't ask me what that file is about or what I did, because I'm not sure and I don't claim it's right. I just found some lines that related to other models and added similar info substituting the words and numbers that I'd picked up from things like 'dmesg | grep unknown' and 'pciconf -lv'. It was a bit like solving one of those find-the-pattern puzzles. Rebuilt the kernel. Reboot. Hey, I'm networked! Now I can upgrade from 4.6-RELEASE to something more recent, maybe even find a version of X that understands the video. > If the nic effort is successful, can I follow similar steps > to try to get sound going? Well, not in that same file I don't think, it looks like it's only about the ethernet interface. I did find a file in another directory that looked like it too was simply lacking info about my hardware related to sound support, but at this point it's all getting way too guessy to proceed. Of course if anyone who reads this has suggestions re explaining the hardware to X and sound, I'd love to hear from you! :-) But if like me you can't get started with your Compaq Evo, perhaps what I've related above will help some. http://mobile.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!

Compaq Evo install problems
I'm half way through working around the problems trying to install FreeBSD on a new Compaq Evo desktop. The only install CD I have is 4.6-RELEASE, but these problems don't seem to be version-specific. Here is where I'm up to, and hopefully someone can point me closer to completion. Please excuse only partial information. I have very limited access through the firewall, no GUI. Output from the new machine can only be transferred to this email via the pencil device if necessary. At first, the install CD wouldn't boot at all, saying "BTX halted". A search of the archives told me to disable DMA in the BIOS, or downgrade to an earlier BIOS. I did the former and completed the basic installation and reboot without drama. Now I have to do something about the two devices that come up as "unknown" in dmesg: audio and ethernet. pci0: (vendor=0x8086, dev=0x24c5) at 31.5 irq 5 pci5: (vendor=0x8086, dev=0x103b) at 8.0 irq 5 The important one is pci5. Again a mail archive search showed someone had a similar problem, used pciconf -l and looked up /usr/share/misc/pci_vendors to investigate, then suggested "Is it enough to add 0x103b to the ident table?". He did, and apparently it worked fine. That seems to be what I need to do, and the same 0x103b turns out appropriate for my device. I have two questions: What/where is the ident table, and unless it's obvious, how do I put the number in? If the nic effort is successful, can I follow similar steps to try to get sound going? http://mobile.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!

alpha 5.0 install problems: aic7 and fd
i'm trying to install 5.0 on my up2000+ using floppies. when it boots, it only sees my sym53c875, not the onboard aic7890 and not the aic7892 (u160) card. also, when it prompts for the driver disk, it fails (i forgot to write down the message). the drive is fine under srm, linux, and netbsd. are these known problems? i tried searching the bug reports, but found nothing. -- Tom Vier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> DSA Key ID 0xE6CB97DA To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

PHP4 install problems
Hi all I am trying to install mod_php4 on my FreeBSD 4.7 server (with Apache 2.0.43). When I install php with firebird I get a error in the firebird installation process, so I try without firebird. Now I get: Configuring SAPI modules checking for AOLserver support... no checking for Apache 1.x module support via DSO through APXS... configure: error: Use --with-apxs2 with Apache 2.x! ===> Script "configure" failed unexpectedly. Please report the problem to [EMAIL PROTECTED] [maintainer] and attach the "/usr/ports/www/mod_php4/work/php-4.2.3/config.log" including the output of the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea to provide an overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. an `ls /var/db/pkg`). *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/www/mod_php4. *** Error code 1 I have added --with-apxs2 to Makefile and also Makefile.inc, but it doesn't help (I have also tried make clean and then add --wthi-apxs2 before make install). Hope someone can help. br socketd To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
