If FreeBSD is the only operating system on the computer, then everything is fine and you should hit F1 or Enter (or just let it sit and it will boot on its own). To give you a comparison, my computer comes up (my notes in curly braces{}): F1 DOS {well, it's Win98} F2 FreeBSD Default: F2 {whichever I used last, usually FBSD} So, thus far, everything is just the way it should be. After you hit F1, it will want to pause before it loads the kernel. There's a reason for this, but you probably don't need to worry about it on a fresh install. You can let it count down or hit Enter to get the kernel to load. Then, a long bunch of stuff will scroll up your screen. Again this is supposed to happen. (I have to admit I don't usually pay too much attention to it unless I'm trying to see if my ethernet card is working, so I can't really tell you what most of it is.) Then it will ask you to log in with your username and password. And finally, you will get a Welcome to FreeBSD message and a command prompt ($). Beyond that, you're in, and if you have problems you should feel free to ask questions (though most questions belong on questions@freebsd.org rather than newbies). Welcome aboard.

I've done mergemaster and all files in /etc should be correct. When I try to ping myself or localhost, it says "no route to host". PPP is not enabled and is set to interactive mode in /etc/rc.conf, but when the system boots up, it is started as auto mode. PPP still works correctly, it did add a default route when it is connected to my ISP, but when I try to ping anything (including localhost), it complains about "no route to host". Why are these strange things happening? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks. Andrew http://www.yahoo.promo.com.au/hint/ - Yahoo!

I dodged the Windows bullet. Whew! Now, I have the install CD #1, and three other coasters. I never was prompted to use the other three CDs. What are they for and if it's cool stuff, how do I get it off there onto my fresh clean install of FreeBSD 4.7? I already tried the SGI syntax I'm used to and did 'mount CDROM' to no avail.

When you mount the CD as root, mount the directory specified in the /etc/fstab directory. i.e. mount /cdrom or if you wish to mount it to a different directory type 'mount /dev/acd0c /cdrom' - assuming your cd device is /dev/acd0c and /cdrom exists.

The disc2.iso image is a "live filesystem", IIRC. You can use this CD-ROM as a "fixit" disk which, combined with the installation programs of disc1.iso, can be used to repair any installation you make from disc1.iso. The rest of those CD-ROMs contain precompiled versions of `packages'. Packages are programs that you can install on your FreeBSD system. You can install those either as part of your initial system installation, using the package tools provided by sysinstall (the installation program that you see when you boot the first CD-ROM), or later, using the pkg_add, pkg_delete, and related programs. > I already tried the SGI syntax I'm used to and did 'mount CDROM' to no > avail. Then 'mount cdrom' and still nothing. Is there an automount > like in IRIX or OSX/Darwin? Sysinstall should have taken care of this for you. Try looking in the file /etc/fstab to see if it already has a line with options for mounting the CD-ROM. Mine, for instance, includes: keramida@gothmog[04:42]/home/keramida$ grep cdrom /etc/fstab /dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 With this line, I can mount my CD-ROMs easily: # mount /cdrom If there is no line for a 'cdrom' in there, you have to find out what the 'device' for your CD-ROM is. If you have an ATAPI CD-ROM like a lot of people, then it's /dev/acd0, and you can try: # mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0c /mnt This should mount your CD-ROM under /mnt. I hope this helps a bit, and again...

Hm, the recurring problem: newbies are not supposed to ask questions on this list! :) Now on to your question: in the manual pages, of course. Although... I don't actually remember it, but reading mount(8) and mount_cd9660(8) I would say that I must have had a hell of a time deducing the right syntax from the man pages when I started playing with FreeBSD. :) Anyways, what the man pages say (in the usual cryptometalanguage) is: mount [options] device | mountpoint examples: mount /dev/acd0c mount /cdrom If you ask why the man page says "special" instead of "device", the answer is: because it doesn't have to be a device. remotemachine:/exported/filesystem is valid as well, and it's not a device. The same principle probably applies to the "node" x "mountpoint" discrepancy, although I can't come up with any example right now. The man pages have to be correct first, human readable second. :) -- If you cc me or remove the list(s) completely I'll most likely ignore your message. see http://www.eyrie.org./~eagle/faqs/questions.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-newbies Wed Dec 4 4:35:58 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4882137B401 for ; Wed, 4 Dec 2002 04:35:58 -0800 (PST) Received: from matnet.net (BSN-77-155-160.dsl.siol.net [193.77.155.160]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AABCE43EA9 for ; Wed, 4 Dec 2002 04:35:52 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from root@matnet.net) Received: by matnet.net (Postfix, from userid 0) id 91060ED1; Wed, 4 Dec 2002 13:36:13 +0100 (CET) To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org, yuuuuuuuuuun@yahoo.com.au Subject: Re: Funny problems after upgrade to 4.7 In-Reply-To: <20021204002214.89526.qmail@web21101.mail.yahoo.com> Message-Id: <20021204123613.91060ED1@matnet.net> Date: Wed, 4 Dec 2002 13:36:13 +0100 (CET) From: root@matnet.net (Charlie Root) Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-newbies Wed Dec 4 9: 0:20 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9664B37B401 for ; Wed, 4 Dec 2002 09:00:19 -0800 (PST) Received: from pineapple.theshop.net (pineapple.theshop.net [66.210.104.7]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id EC72243EC5 for ; Wed, 4 Dec 2002 09:00:18 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from scott@bsdprophet.org) Received: from bsdprophet.org (ebea9b407e2cbae1fc5a06f8b8d0b243@[66.210.107.193]) by pineapple.theshop.net (8.12.0/8.12.0) with ESMTP id gB4H5E21093884; Wed, 4 Dec 2002 11:05:16 -0600 (CST) Message-ID: <3DEE3458.50605@bsdprophet.org> Date: Wed, 04 Dec 2002 10:59:04 -0600 From: Scott Corey User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021130 X-Accept-Language: en-us, en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Giorgos Keramidas Cc: Andy Li , freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Funny problems after upgrade to 4.7 References: <20021204002214.89526.qmail@web21101.mail.yahoo.com> <20021204074255.GA20954@gothmog.gr> In-Reply-To: <20021204002214.89526.qmail@web21101.mail.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org NO!

Never knew what caused it. Try asking this question on the -questions list. People there are not newbies, and might actually have enough experience and knowledge to give you a correct answer.

I am writing following the impressive information about you through one of my friends who runs a constancy firm in your country he assured me of your capability and reliability to champion this business opportunity. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $8.5m US dollars ,EIGHT million, five hundred thousand US dollars) . account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in November 1998 , in a plane crash. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my department now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don’t want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill. The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after four years, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. We agree that 30 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 60 % would be for ;me and my colleagues. There after I and my colleagues will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in the money will be remitted . Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer .

If so, then this is your magical email to the kingdom of financial freedom. Think about how life would be WITHOUT an alarm clock waking you up every morning. Or sitting in traffic all morning. Are you frustrated that you belong to the corporate world? IMAGINE your daily commute taking 20 seconds as you walk to your computer! Is this just a dream? Many people think so but they are ABSOLUTELY WRONG. Financial freedom is given to people who jump at the opportunity, not to those who hesitate. 2 years ago I was just like you, I was making $12 an hour working my butt off struggling to pay my bills. One day, a friend of mine introduced me to the GREATEST business ever created online. Within 6 months of working just an hour a day, I was able to quit my full time job and leave the corporate world FOREVER. Now I would like to share this opportunity with you. It is MY DUTY to help you get to the places you dream about, and I'm about to do just that. Normally, there is a $29.99 charge associated with joining this business. But for the next 48 hours, you can sign up, ABSOLUTELY FREE. Even if this isn't the opportunity of a lifetime, how can you afford to pass up this chance? You have nothing to lose! No credit card required, Nothing! All you have to do is click on the link below to learn more about this AMAZING business. http://www.product-galore.com/affiliate.htm Thank you and have a great day!

It is also available at http://www.welearn.com.au/freebsd/newbies/) FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.ORG is the place to send all questions about installing, configuring, running and using FreeBSD. All help requests are handled by FreeBSD-Questions, including newbies questions. FreeBSD-Newbies is different. We don't ask for help or answer how-to questions. It is a discussion forum for newbies. FreeBSD-Newbies provides a place for new FreeBSD users to meet and covers any of the activities of newbies that are not already dealt with elsewhere. Examples include helping each other to learn more on our own, finding and using resources, problem solving techniques, how to seek help elsewhere, how to use mailing lists and which lists to use, general chat, making mistakes, boasting, sharing ideas, stories, moral (but not technical) support, and taking an active part in the FreeBSD community. We take our problems and support questions to freebsd-questions, and use freebsd-newbies to meet others who are doing the same things that we do as newbies. One of the things we do together is learn more effective ways to find help when we need it. Here are some suggestions: When something doesn't work the way you expect 1. First look at the errata for your release of FreeBSD at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/releases/ for the latest information and security advisories. 2. Search the Handbook, FAQ, and mail archives at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/search.html 3. If you still have a question or problem, collect the output of `uname -a' and of any relevant program(s) and email your question to FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. Mailing lists When you have a problem that you can't solve by yourself, there's only one support mailing list and that's FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. FreeBSD-questions helps with installation and basic setup as well as more general and advanced questions. You don't have to actually join freebsd-questions before asking a question there. Replies to your question will normally be sent to you personally as well as to the list. Just make sure you have read and followed the guidelines for posting, because you might find them different to what you're used to. If you do subscribe to freebsd-questions you'll have the advantage of seeing all of the recent questions and their answers. Before you post to FreeBSD-questions, please read the guidelines at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html Many of the people who answer FreeBSD-questions are very knowledgeable, but they get frustrated when they get questions which are difficult to understand. http://www.lemis.com/email.html is worth reading too. If you're not sure that you can follow these guidelines, come back and ask the other newbies for help on how to post an effective question to the support mailing list. Maybe your question has been asked before. If you search the mailing list archives at http://www.freebsd.org/search.html first you might get the answer right away. It's always worth trying. Other mailing lists (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-CHARTERS) cover specialised areas and many are more developer-oriented. You'll need to read their charters carefully before participating, but it's probably a good idea to ask on either -newbies or -questions for advice about where to post a more specialised question. FreeBSD-announce is a very low volume read-only list for occasional announcements, such as notice of new releases, and the Really Quick Newsletter. It's worth subscribing to FreeBSD-announce too. Manuals You'll always be expected to show that you have made some effort to use the available documentation before asking for help. That's not always as easy as it sounds! If you know what documentation you need but can't locate it, send a brief query to FreeBSD-questions. If you don't know what you need, always have trouble finding it, or can't make any sense of it when you do, ask some patient newbies to steer you in the right direction. Anyone interested in writing or reviewing documentation for FreeBSD is encouraged to join the FreeBSD Documentation Project. Details are at http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/docproj.html Other resources A resource list is available at http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html to help new and inexperienced FreeBSD users to find relevant information quickly. It includes books, on line documents and tutorials, and links to web pages that other newbies have found useful for learning. If you have a suggestion for good material to be included, please write to freebsd-newbies and tell us about it. But I have seen people asking questions here! It is quite common for people to send the wrong kind of post to a mailing list. Because we're newbies it'll certainly happen here from time to time. The best thing to do if you see a message that doesn't belong on a list is to ignore it. There's always someone around whose job it is to sort these problems out privately. The posts to the lists go straight through, whatever their content. It is going to be confusing for a little while because we're all newbies so we all make mistakes. That's OK. One thing we're going to see a fair bit is people posting questions, believing they're doing the right thing by posting here as newbies, not realising how it works. If someone answers those questions the situation will snowball. There's nothing wrong with helping someone to redirect their question to freebsd-questions, but please do so gently. There's nothing wrong with the occasional mistake either. So all questions, requests for help, etc still go to freebsd-questions as usual. Ours is more of a discussion group, a place where newbies can relax with other newbies and focus more on our successes than on our temporary imperfection. We can talk about things here that are not allowed on freebsd-questions. We're also a bit freer to make the mistakes that we need to make in order to learn. _________________________________________________________________ To Subscribe to FreeBSD-Newbies: Send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "subscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message.
