There are three main components of a custom install disc: Distributions (binaries), documentations, ports collection. As for the binaries, they are built from /usr/src since You use EXTRCDIR macro. As for ports collection, it won't be integrated since You specified NOPORTS=YES. As for documentation, it will be built from the CVS repository if You don't specify EXTDOCDIR, so the documentation will be checked out from the repository and You can only specify a local directory where the CVS repository is mirrored, afaik. I haven't seen any example that used that pserver address. So You'd better mirror it with CVSup and then You could specify such /usr/home/ncvs, if your mirror is located under /usr/home/ncvs Cheers, Gábor Kövesdán ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
FreeBSD 5.4 CD and Adaptec 2010s controller w/ RAID 10
Hi list, I'm having a strange problem while trying to install FreeBSD on a pentium 4 server with an adaptec 2010s controller with a built RAID 10. It goes fine until it tries to read the CD (to install FreeBSD), at that point it starts spitting random numbers and letters in blocks, something like: cc 99 cc aa dd 99 cc 99 cc aa dd 99 cc 99 cc aa dd 99 cc 99 cc aa dd 99 cc 99 cc aa dd 99 cc 99 cc aa dd 99 cc 99 cc aa dd 99 cc 99 cc aa dd 99 cc 99 cc aa dd 99 cc 99 cc aa dd 99 cc 99 cc aa dd 99 cc 99 cc aa dd 99 cc 99 cc aa dd 99 cc 99 cc aa dd 99 cc 99 cc aa dd 99 (letters/numbers are different) and it never stops. If I destroy the RAID 10, FreeBSD will boot up fine and detect all 4 disks.. if I insert a Windows CD, it will go to Windows the installation screen, which leads me to believe it is a problem related with FreeBSD and the fact that there is a RAID 10 created (remember, if I destroy the RAID it works fine and will go to sysinstall) This is my first RAID installation on a FreeBSD system, so I might be missing something obvious.. Does anyone have a clue ?

Building an ISO for CD release of a custom FreeBSD 5.4
Hi,
I ported/upgraded our custom FreeBSD (custom kernel, security patches,
etc.) from 4.9-stable to 5.4-stable, and have downloaded and built all
the ports we need.
I want to provide this already-built system for use in our QA lab and by
other developers, so I'm attempting to build a bootable CD that captures it.
Since I have never done this before, I read the fine manual (man build
and man release), and some articles that came up when I searched for
various combinations of {freebsd, release, make, iso, isos, custom, cd,
and cdrom}, and tried to follow their examples. It isn't easy, because
the documentation of MAKE_ISOS and NOPORTS is rather incomplete.
I tried the following:
cd /usr/src/release
make release CHROOTDIR=/usr/v54export BUILDNAME=FBSD54_050712
RELEASETAG=RELENG_5 \
CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ncvs
EXTSRCDIR=/usr/src \
MAKE_ISOS=/usr/v54export COMPAT_DISTS=compat4x
OTHER_DISTS=manpages \
NOPORTS=YES
It complained that the connection to the CVS repository is being
refused. I tried changing the CVSROOT to :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
but that and several other protocol variations didn't help. I can't
see why -- does anyone know/care? Is there a simple way to overcome
this obstacle (is the documentation wrong/typo'ed)?
I tried to "cvs import" /usr/src into /usr/v54cvs and then specify the
CVSROOT as /usr/v54cvs. Here is the tail of 'script' capture of that
build:
cvs checkout: Updating ports/lang/perl5.8/files^M
rm -rf /usr/v54export/usr/doc^M
cd /usr/v54export/usr && cvs -R -d /usr/v54cvs co -P doc^M
cvs checkout: Updating doc^M
if [ -d /usr/src/release/../../ports/distfiles/ ]; then cp -rp
/usr/src/release/../../ports/distfiles
/usr/v54export/usr/ports/distfiles; else mkdir -p
/usr/v54export/usr/ports/distfiles; fi^M
make: don't know how to make checksum-recursive. Stop^M
*** Error code 2^M
^M
Stop in /usr/src/release.^M
*** Error code 1^M
^M
Stop in /usr/src/release.^M
# exit ^M
Well, at least this "checksum-recursive" thing is new -- can you help me
overcome it?
Am I doing something so wrong I don't even know how to ask the right
question(s)? If so, please be so kind as to point me in the right
direction.
Desperate (not yet sleepless, but close) in Waltham,
Jonathan

installing crypto distribution without cd

I tried the livecd from Freesbie and liked it thats why I'm trying to install FreeBsd. Ola ok... i had a problem similar to this. the problem wasn't actually with a laptop but it was a piece of hardware very similar to one. when i installed freebsd on my EPIA system FreeBSD hated it. the system was basically built like a laptop with a slimline cd-rom and a 2.5" hard drive. FreeBSD would not recognize UDMA on the cd-rom and would constantly timeout (or hang) the installation when installing from cd. i basically had to boot from the cd and get to the installation and then install from FTP. i highly recommend installing a minimal installation from FTP to get you started and then get the ports collection from CVS at a convenient time. try it and see if this works for you. by the way... i haven't fixed this issue with my cd-rom yet... if anyone would like to help that would be great. here's a cut from dmesg: atapci0: port 0xd000-0xd00f,0x376,0x170-0x177,0x3f6,0x1f0-0x1f7 at device 17.1 on pci0 ata0: channel #0 on atapci0 ata1: channel #1 on atapci0 ata0-master: DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66 cable or device ad0: 19077MB [38760/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA33 acd0: CDROM at ata0-slave UDMA33 Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a and here's atacontrol info: atacontrol info ata0 Master: ad0 ATA/ATAPI revision 6 Slave: acd0 ATA/ATAPI revision 0 not sure about the make of the cdrom... can't recall. if it's important i can look it up later. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Sounds like a stupid question, but when I installed 5.3 last week, I never used CD2, and it never asked for it. As far as I can tell CD2 is the same as CD1!

The intelligence behind the O/S is what amazes me...lol I haven't been following this thread so I may be jumping in out of order, but a comment on this post. You would not do a mkdir of anything in /dev. That directory is a special one for devices. acd0 is a device, for example. You want to mount this device to a mount point. To make a /cdrom mount mount, you would probably want to do mkdir cdrom in root, eg. cd / mkdir cdrom Then do something like mount /dev/acd0 /cdrom or probably more like: mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom But, that is for looking at files in a file system way. Probably, for sound, you don't want to mount the cd at all. I had sound in a FreeBSD 3.xxx a long time ago, but haven't bothered in several years with more recent version. So things may well have changed. I believe you do still need to have your kernel built with 'device snd'. Check in: /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT or its 5.xxx equivalent (I don't have a 5.xxx handy at the moment to look at). jerry > > >From: Toomas Aas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >To: Michael Neeff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Subject: Re: Can't play CD / mount CDROM > >Date: Mon, 02 May 2005 23:23:13 +0300 > > > >Hi Michael! > > > >I was hoping someone can give you a more definite answer, but it seems > >no-one knowledgeable has responded, so here are my comments, worth exactly > >what you paid for them :) > > > >>I've been trying since the past couple of days to get my sound back... it > >>all started when I followed the steps from the manual in setting up > >>statically sound drivers for my old Compaq DeskPro EN series...for FreeBSD > >>5.3.

Re: Can't play CD / mount CDROM
Hey Toomas, Thanks for your detailed reply. As far as problem #1: When I re-complied to statically include the sound it gives me no output, not even when I used kldload to load the driver... it simply loads without any output... How do I check mixer settings? I am religiously following step by step instructions to the installation: Chapter 7.2.3: Did this screw up my output? # sysctl hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=4 # sysctl hw.snd.maxautovchans=4 As for problem #2 which is the frustrating part and I need to get working is - I used to be able to mount my /cdrom and view files on the CD - even if they meant MP3s & even it meant I could not play them back... Now it simply goes to the error: cd9660: device /dev/acd0 Input/Ouput error It's been the start of week#3 and this is taking too long to setup one operating system !! (that's where windoze wins, simply pop in the CD and forget-about-da-rest). I guess I lost my original kernel so that's why I'm in an endless loop... :o( Thanks for your response I'll send y'all the output from the 'grep acd0 /var/run/dmesg.boot' I'm away from my PC right now.

That's how I built sound into kernel on my home PC, but I'm not at that PC now so I can't check my kernel config. What do you mean by "it doesn't work"? Do you get an error message? Or simply nothing happens? In the latter case, check your mixer settings, speaker volume knob and physical connections. After building sound into kernel, you can also remove the relevant module loading lines from /boot/loader.conf, but I think that even if you left them in it shouldn't prevent sound from working - you would just get an error message saying something to the tune of "file already exists", meaning that the functionality for which you are trying to load the module is already included in the kernel. ...Anyways this is the least of my problems. I now comment the lines: device snd_sbc, device sound recomplie the kernel and keep getting cd9660: device /dev/acd0 Input/Ouput error when I try to mount any of my CDs... (music or data) You shouldn't try to mount music CDs since they don't contain any filesystem that can be mounted. The error message above is exactly what you get when you try to mount an audio CD. Mounting data CDs should work, though. Does the command 'grep acd0 /var/run/dmesg.boot' contain any text? I've tried : mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 /cdrom and several other combinations : mount cd9660 /dev/acd0 /cdrom; mount cd9660; mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0 /cdrom; mount /cdrom - still the same thing... At least *some* of the above commands should work ;-) I even tried loading my old kernel (GENERIC) from /boot/kernel.old/kernel (Btw, is this the same as the last recompile of MYKERNE?L... I think I have compiled 3/4 times by now in the hopes that this would work) Yes, every time you build an install new kernel, the previous kernel is copied to kernel.old and previous kernel.old is wiped out. So it is well possible that you don't even have the original kernel with which things worked on your system any more. HELP - I'm a newbie...

Also look at adjusting your BIOS config, especially if you can set your drives to using PIO rather than UDMA modes (at least for the install, until we can figure out what's wrong and maybe fix it). You might also try toggling the PnP OS options, any options involving ACPI/powersaving, and you might try installing FreeBSD in safe mode. It's a better idea to use a normal MBR, or even set up your drive using a Compaq utility with their special partition. If none of that works, file a PR describing your hardware, and wait for 5.4 to come out in a few weeks, and try again.

I have not done this but think you should be looking into making a multi-session DVD. This should be easy. Method 1 (should be easy and direct): Just burn the original DVD image with growisofs in multi-session mode (the default): growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=image.iso You should then be able to directly add your new files with: growisofs -M /dev/dvd -R -J /more/files Method 2 (probably more appropriate for a CD image): Use mkisofs to create a second session .iso file. Something like: mkisofs -o second.iso -C -M image.iso -R -J /more/files You might need to burn the first session and use burncd/cdrecord or something to get the magic numbers for the -C option.

An ISO file is an image of the entire CD (it has a TOC, the bootable part, etc.), and to burn it there should be an option on the burning program (something containing the word "ISO", and a browser to select a file). Check this, if when you burn the cd and you read it you see only the ISO file, it is not right. If you see a lot of directories like 'boot', 'packages', it is fine, and it should boot.

ghost imaging CD
Hello. I should say first that I've tried searching for an answer to my problem, with no success. I am attempting to create a bootable CD with a live FreeBSD system on it, for the purposes of installing a ghost image on a local hard drive, retreived from a remote share (I'm using samba, if it matters), and make that image bootable. I have succesfully created the CD, partitioned the hard drive using the process described in the bsdlabel manpage, and I have succesfully installed a label on ad0s1, to get ad0s1a-f the size I wish them to be. I have also succesfully performed newfs on each of them, and extracted the images (in the form of a tgz) to each slice. My problem is this: when the machine boots, it gets to the stage: Mounting root from "ufs:ad0s1a" and it freezes. Can anyone offer some insight as to why this might be happening? If more information is needed, I can certainly provide it, though I have included everything I see as relevant. Thanks!

The "bs" thing sounds right ;-) Though I feel it's a bad thing not to be able to duplicate a cdrom in an easy way. I'll check out cdrdao (mentioned elsewhere) too. I know I can mount the cdrom and use mkisofs, but that will not work for bootable CD's. I just want to duplicate some bootable CD's in an easy way. So I guess I check out cdrdao and that kde prog. -- dick -- http://nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.11 ++ FreeBSD 5.3 + Nai tiruvantel ar vayuvantel i Valar tielyanna nu vilja ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

As I said, I have never done what you are trying to do, and this is one of those questions that needs someone who has done it to step in with some good advice, so I really cannot be of very much help. Judging by what I have read, at some point you could install from a DOS partition without using floppies, but that is now not possible. The file you mention is dated 1997, but was updated in 1999. In the same directory is a readme dated in 1999 that lists the directory's contents, and it does not mention setup.exe. In fact, it doesn't mention most of the stuff in the directory. So I think both are out-of-date and useless. The install.txt file, dated Nov. 2004, in the root directory on a 5.3 CD says this: "1.5.3 Installing from a DOS partition To prepare for installation from an MS-DOS partition you should simply copy the files from the distribution into a directory called FREEBSD on the Primary DOS partition (C:). For example, to do a minimal installation of FreeBSD from DOS using files copied from the CDROM, you might do something like this: C:\> MD C:\FREEBSD C:\> XCOPY /S E:\BASE C:\FREEBSD\BASE Assuming that E: was where your CD was mounted. For as many distributions as you wish to install from DOS (and you have free space for), install each one in a directory under C:\FREEBSD - the BIN dist is only the minimal requirement. Once you've copied the directories, you can simply launch the installation from floppies as normal and select ``DOS'' as your media type when the time comes." As you can see, it says you MUST use floppies for a DOS install. Maybe this is different for 4.11; I don't know. If it is not different, your only hope seems to be either an NFS, SLIP, or PLIP install. But before checking into this, I strongly suggest you check your hardware compatibility. If you want to run 4.11, see this link about the hardware it supports: http://www.freebsd.org/relnotes/4-STABLE/hardware/i386/index.html If you want to run 5.3, see this link about the hardware it supports: http://www.freebsd.org/relnotes/5-STABLE/hardware/i386/index.html Good luck, stheg __ Do You Yahoo!?

The documentation is a bit ambiguous. It states that the install files need to be where sysinstall can find them, but it doesn't state how to get sysinstall to run in the first place. Just below this section it does say: "You have a FreeBSD disk, and FreeBSD does not recognize your CD/DVD drive, but MS-DOS/Windows® does. You want to copy the FreeBSD installations files to a DOS partition on the same computer, and then install FreeBSD using those files." This certainly implies that one can install FBSD from a DOS partition if one copies the correct files in the correct manner. That method is explained in section 2.13.4. Luckily for me, I have never had to confront this issue, so I have no idea if you or I am correct. > > You've got to bootstrap a kernel into RAM *somehow* to do the work. > This section discusses alternative distribution media, but doesn't > explain > an alternate booting of a kernel+sysinstall. > > Without a bootable CD and no floppy hardware, the only alternatives > I can think of are: > > 1.

Because the laptop is older, the amount of RAM may determine which release to run, 4.11 or 5.3. Going through the effort the install may take only to discover the end result is unusable would be unfortunate. Best regards, stheg __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

netgraph modules on the install CD
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone, yesterday I installed FreeBSD 5.3 release through a PPPoE connection. I booted from the Mini Install CD. In the end everything worked out fine but I had some trouble with the PPPoE connection. Namely I had to load the ng_pppoe and ng_socket modules manually at the loader prompt. Isn't ppp supposed to automatically load them on demand? Anyway, I regret that it's still necessary to select a modem installation and fiddle around with ppp to use a PPPoE Internet connection during the install process. It doesn't look like a major effort to me to improve sysinstall in that way. I'm kind of willing to contribute such a feature. Could anyone familiar with the sysinstall sources give me a hint where to start?

One rather common mistake is to put the ISO file on a CD as a file rather than burning the image (which is in fact a binary copy of a CD file system) to the disk. Most, if not all, CD writer programs have a "burn image" option or similar. If you burned the ISO correctly, your Mac should see a number of files and folders on the CD. If all you see is one rather large file, the CD will not be usable. > I switched the boot order to CD - and I still cannot get the Free BSD > Disk to boot... > What do I need to do?

Disk access problem with 5.3 install from CD
I have noted success stories from some who have installed FreeBSD on Compaq Laptops similar to mine: Compaq Armada 7400, 6.2 gig drive, 128 mb RAM. I purchased the 5.3 (2) CD, (1) DVD set and have tried multiple times to use CD 1 to install. All attempts fail after providing these message: 1) Early in the process: "ad0: Failure Read_DMA timed out" (this msg is repeated 3-4 times) I select a standard install, giving the entire drive to FreeBSD No MBR needed...don't want to accomodate other OS's 2) Soon I get; "Writing partition information to drive ad0" followed by: "Error Unable to write data to disk ad0" and then: "Couldn't make filesystem properly, aborting" Responding to some other user sites, I tried doing a boot from my Win backup rescue boot disk and ran FDISK to apply a single DOS partition as I had read that this might help.didn't seem to.

The ISO (any ISO, really) isn't a file that gets burned to CD "as is". It's an "image" or representation of a *file system* that needs to be processed and then burned to CD. I don't know what the Mac procedure for burning an ISO is, but in Windoze I generally rely on right-clicking the ISO file and having a pop-up menu offer me a choice like "create CD from image". Almost as simple as drag-n-drop, but not quite. Barring any other more detailed help that may pop up from this list, just go into the Mac software that you use to burn CDs and search their help for "ISO" to get tips on appropriate ISO image burning techniques.

There is 2 limitations here: - The dump's option '-P' is relatively new, and not supported on old releases; - A file can't be larger than 2Gb using an ISO 9660 file system. Knowing these 2 points here, here is a sh(1) shell script than i use and which do the following: 1/ Backup a remote FreeBSD system on a local DVD writer; 2/ Currently 5.X since i hardcoded the dump's option '-L') but that is easily bypassed; 3/ Over ssh; 4/ Using a remote user which must be in the group 'operator'; 5/ Because i use the same grown iso fs to hold all the backuped fs, this script need a local temporary space which size just need to be the size of the larger compressed remote fs (generally /usr or /home) not a sum of all of these; 6/ Automatically get the fs to backup from the remote fstab (begining with the root fs). As it is a little _home_script_, there is some caveats to know: - It must launch as root from the local system in order to be able to write to the local DVD burner; - It assume that that the larger compressed remote fs is lesser than the 2Gb limitation (you can for example set the nodump flag on /usr/ports/distfiles/*, if this is not an issue for you, to decrease the size of the /usr dump); - Some commands/options are hardcoded; - May be extended to managed more than one copy of each backuped fs if there is sufficiently space left on the DVD... Oh, yes... to restore just do the following (/home for example): # mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0 /cdrom # cd /home; gzip -dc /cdrom/home/dump.gz | restore -ivf - -- -jpeg. bckp2dvd.sh Description: Binary data ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

That was how I was considering doing backups in DVD sized chunks until I found out the -P option in 5.3. I've just tried doing it in 5.3 & works. Here's what I actually did: %sudo dump -1 -B 5 -f /mnt/backups/var.dump /var When prompted for tape 2, in a second xterm I did: %sudo mv var.dump var.dump.1 Then back in xterm1, I said yes to the continue prompt. The dump completed. To restore I did: %restore -Nxvf /mnt/backups/var.dump.1 When asked which tape to use, I said 1 When prompted for tape 2, in xterm2 I did: %sudo mv var.dump.1 var.dump.a %sudo mv var.dump var.dump.1 Then back in xterm1: End-of-tape encountered You have read volumes: 1 Specify next volume #: 2 Mount tape volume 2 Enter ``none'' if there are no more tapes otherwise enter tape name (default: /mnt/backups/var.dump.1) none extract file ./db/entropy/saved-entropy.6 extract file ./tmp/kdecache-root/ksycoca Add links Set directory mode, owner, and times. set owner/mode for '.'? [yn] n So it works in 5.3, maybe there is a bug in the old dump or restore program? NB, I didn't need to use -b 2 in the restore command. Perhaps you should try it without that switch.

I have another machine running 4.9 (also without the -P option for dump) and the way I get round it is to create the dump on another disk in pieces then transfer them to another machine for burning. dump -B -f /home/usr.dump /usr /usr and /home are on different disks.

I think this is what you are looking for (lists.freebsd.org seems to down at the moment, so I can't confirm this is the thread I think it is): http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-November/064560.html Anyway, to backup /usr directly to a dvd(+rw), I use the this command: dump -0 -uL -C16 -B4589840 -P 'growisofs -speed=4 -Z /dev/dvd=/dev/fd/0 ' /usr This gives you a dvd or series of dvds with the dump file on them. You can then boot from CD2 (live system) and use restore to restore the data. If the link above is the one I think it is, it gives you an example restore command. Hope that's the kind of thing you are after. Cheers, -- Ian GPG Key: http://homepages.picknowl.com.au/imoore/imoore.asc pgpyTrJYYrnPe.pgp Description: PGP signature
Backup to CD-Rs and DVDs
I don't have any DVD-Rs of any format yet so I was messing about with CDs. I found I could burn files to the CD in a variety of ways but I can't get them back again. I've used dd and burncd to put the file onto a CD and dd sometimes gets something back too, but never works properly. Any ideas how to do this properly? -- /Xian "As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality."
