The slave harddisk had debian on it before the installation of BSD with grub written into the MBR. The problem is, i seems that bsd writes its own bootloader into th MBR of the slave harddisk. So grub is still in the master's MBR but the config files are of course not addressable. So is it possible to instruct the sysinstall to write its bootloader to the mbr of the master harddisk and detect and conigure winxp for dual boot?

Re: Install freeze while or immediately after finish copying the ports-collection
Thanks for all your help. After installing the bootloader correctly, 6.0 boots well and fast. Also network is runnig now. Seems sysinstall did not bring it up after configuring, so i didi this manualy on the holo shell. I noticed a mistake i made during the diagnostic of the freezes. They may not be just the result of the atapi devices. After booting for a several times now i got 2 more freezes in not coherent periods of time after logging in. i am able to access the fs through the other os so i checked the message and other logfiles, but i cannot find any panic or other bad logentries. Any ideas/ suggestions? (Will post this as a new thread) Thanks a lot again Timm ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Install freeze while or immediately after finish copying the ports-collection
Hi list, I am sorry to request help again, but now (after getting the system boot with the install cd [see other messages]) the install process freezes while or immediately after the copying the ports collection to my harddisk. First i thought i could be my usb keyboard (thought i read something like that somewhere else) but even with ps/2 devices the freeze occures. Using an extern ftp server for installation is not possible since my inboard 3com network interface seems to be not supported correctly. Any ideas?

Re: Install freeze while or immediately after finish copying the ports-collection
Timm, We had a similar problem during our install - the fix was to only install the bare minimum to get the system running 6.0, then install everything else after rebooting and re-running sysinstall.

So unless you have a suspicion that it's the CD or the atapicd driver that causes the hang instead of sysinstall, I don't think ftp install will make a difference.

Where is the ports collection of FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE?
Hello. I just installed the FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE by FTP from ftp.freebsd.org. I have chosen All in Choose Distributions step of sysinstall. During the installation I got error message about that the ports collection cannot be located in ftp.freebsd.org. I did few retries but without success, so I continued the installation. There was no more problem. Now I see that ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.9-RELEASE/ports/ directory just doesn't exist. I checked few mirrors of ftp.freebsd.org but .../4.9-RELEASE/ports/ doesn't exist there too. At the same time .../4.8-RELEASE/ports/ and .../5.1-RELEASE/ports/ exist. As far as I know, most people uses ISO images and installs FreeBSD from CD. I didn't check FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE ISO image but I'm suspecting that .../4.9-RELEASE/ports/ exist there. Is .../4.9-RELEASE/ports/ non-existence a consequence of some FTP upload problem? Could someone upload .../4.9-RELEASE/ports/ to fix it? Thanks __ Do you Yahoo!?

Thanks, Evan Sarmiento ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://sekt7.org/es While I am busy griping here is another example. This question more appropriate to -ports, but at least marginally concerns -stable. I'm not saying this doesn't belong here, but there have far too many ports specific questions on this list. Myself and others have pointed this out. In many cases the questions were answered very recently on -ports. If you use ports you should be reading -ports. When in doubt re-compile them. If you track -cvs-all (like you are *supposed* to), then re-compile them only when you changes to libraries. The pending version bump is by far the best example, but re-doing the ports you install is a good blanket rule when a commit has "lib" in it. Call it the "when in doubt" rule. ;) As for how, check the archives for -stable and -ports. ;) Jeff Mountin - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems/Network Administrator FreeBSD - the power to serve To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
