Hi there,
I hope you guys can help me install FreeBSD. It starts fine, I

it starts installing fine but suddenly panics and stops. I get some weir

Subject: Help !!! Trying to connect to ISP
I am trying to connect a small LAN to an ISP via 28.8 modem connection. I am
having a problem with assigning addresses across the LAN. There is currently
only one registered address available, that being to the ISP.
My initial question is, what pseudo addresses can I assign to the machines
on the LAN?
My next question, how can I connect the pseudo addresses belonging to the
LAN, to the class C address that is to my ISP? I currently have the server
set for routing, and have made the device entries into the sysconfig file.
In addition, I am currently connecting to my ISP via PPP, without much
success. I am using the PPP terminal within freeBSD. My connection is made,
login is successful, however soon after connection, I get a "NO CARRIER"
message, and then the terminal locks up!! Any suggestions on additional
procedures for this matter, or should I be using a different terminal?
Any suggestions will definately help me on completing this project.

I've got a few questions about upgrading my kernel. I want to go from
the stable kernel to the current one (I'm hoping for better Linux
emulation).
I thought that for kernel upgrades all I really needed was just /sbin,
/lib, /include, and /usr/src/sys. I sup'ed all of those and tried to
make them, but got a bunch of errors. Then I realized this only works
when staying withing the same kernel type (or so I remember hearing).
So, I sup'ed everything except for "games" and did a "make world"
under /usr/src. This failed. I think install couldn't find some
.texi file that is was suppossed to install so it quit the entire
compile.
So my question is, what did I mess up? Should I have done something
else? If not, it there anyway to tell it to ignore these errors and
keep on going? Do I need to update any of the bsd.mk files in
/usr/share first?
Thanks in advance...

I would turn on Linux emulation then try these two. The top one would be

I have it working here, though I forget what I did to it. I need to
reinstall it again so I'll start from the distrib + patches and make

Not going to do it, unless you are installing on something other than the

You need a good 100mb for a decent installation.

Hm. For starters, your LAN is going to have to be set up to use the
invalid IP addresses, in 10.x.x.x. Then, if I remember correctly, you
are going to have to set up proxy support with ppp or something similar.
(firewall?)
Don't ask me how to set that up, I have a friend trying to get the same
situation, I don't know if he ever got it up or not.

Again, they are going to have to be invalid if they don't have real
assigned IP addresses from your ISP.

Does it say 'login failed' or somesuch, indicating the connection isn't
getting established?

But that is *not* the way to use a modem as a network device. :)
You need to use a dialer program such as ppp which handles the modem to
network conversion.

Do you have a ppp.linkup? It won't show that if you do.

Sounds like a routing problem; check netstat -rn and make sure a default
route exists to the IP address assigned to you by the remote. Use "route
add default <youraddr>" and delete out any other routes that may be
clogging the works up.

Did you split your drive using fips?
If so, you shouldn't use the dos install; try floppies or FTP instead.

I don't think you need to run sysinstall after the system is installed;
you can do them without it. The Online Help are just some documents
laying around on the floppy. Just mount it and read away. :) They are
also on the FTP site and possibly in /usr/share.

I would say less, more 2 or 3 MB/hr.
My 28.8 could do 6mb/hr on a good day (1mb every 10 mins). I would take
that in half and round down for an extra margin.

Hi All
I'm a very proud user, of no less than 7 FreeBSD systems, of which
I am very happy! I only have a couple of very basic questions:
1. The BootMgr, a really fantastic piece of software, that actually
alows me to have 4 operating systems on my machine.... Is it only
possible to install it at installation time? I have tried fdisk and
disklabel, but there is nothing. I installed Winidows 95 on one of
my machines, and it overwrote the MBR, (what would you expect from
MS) so I wanted to reactivate it, but there is no way, is this
correct or can I?
2. How can I reduce the fragementation on my slices? One of my machines
is a www server, 24 hrs per day, and I need to maintain the disk,
how can I get the fragmentation down?
Many thanx for your time
JAson

Subject: Progress of dosemu port?
How do,
Is there any word on how close FreeBSD is to supporting DosEMU (i.e.,
Linux's DOS emulation package).
Admittedly the only reason I'm asking is because I want to play Descent
on one of my vtys. . .

Is Willows being ported to 2.1R or -current/-stable?

Hello!
Unfortunaly you didn't mention whether you're using syscons or
pcvt. So I'll assume you're using syscons.
The easiest way would be to prevent the kernel to perform a shutdown
after pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL. However, it would be nice to have an
option in /etc/sysconfig which is passed to the kernel via sysctl.
The attached patch is against version 1.117.4.7 of syscons.c. So
the line numbering might be different from yours. After applying
the patch you have to add "options NOSCSHUTDOWN" to your kernel-
config-file in /sys/i386/conf. Finally, recompile your kernel.
Best regards Dirk
