Hi,
On modern laptops, the BIOS allows you to boot from an USB key. So, you
could
prepare a key on another machine to bootstrap FreeBSD, by putting a proper
MBR, partition table and partition ("slice" in FreeBSD vocabulary). The BIOS
makes real-mode programs that use it believe
Hi,
You may be facing the same problem as I did a few days ago. Please see

Hi!
Yes, I've done that a week ago, and everything went well. You only have to
be careful with your compile options (in /etc/make.conf) if you have increased
the optimization level for compiling ports (don't use m
Hi there,
I've tried to download a few pics from my Canon Ixus v2 camera with
libgphoto2 (frontends: kamera and gphoto2) without success. The camera is

(using KsCD)"? Maybe we have fallen on the same kind of bug concerning
atapicam.
If you have KDE, maybe you should try to reproduce the problem I had. I've no

Hello all,
Is there an easy way to keep/retrieve the options last used to compile a

Maybe I could

compile the kernel with bpf if you want to use the DHCP protocol or the
tcpdump utility.
It would be great if someone can clarify the precise roles of bpf.

Hello all,
I'm getting a problem when using KsCD, the KDE CD player, and the SCSI
emulation for ATAPI devices within the kernel.
A couple of minutes after having logged in with kdm, which launches a KDE
session with a KsCD iconified, the whole machine freezes: apparently no more
