Hello!
I am a FreeBSD 2.1 user.
I'm kind of a newbie in this subject, because I've been using it for
one year. I have a couple questions to ask:
1 - When trying to extract something using the command TAR I keep
getting a message like "Could not write to device /dev/rst0. Device not
available". Why do I receive this!? This is when I am root, because when
I'm a simple user I receive: "Permition denied" in the same device. I
use:
tar -x <filename>
2 - I own three computers and I am trying to connect them in a network
using the software provided together with the three network cards I own:
NE200 compatible, DEC DC21040 and LE8029R processor based PCI cards.
The problem:
On the computer wich has the NE2000, no problem: I can even connect
to the other computer when they are using using Win95 TCP/IP protocol.
On the PC wich uses the LE8029R card, it simply does not recognize
ANY network card. In the documentaion that card is not supported (at
least not mentioned). Also when I boot, I get that message wich tells me
to warn SOMEONE (haven't written his name :). Do you need some info to
make it supported on the system? I am a programmer but can't manage to
make it work in BSD yet...
On the DC21040 based one, the FreeBSD simply does not boot. When I
remove the card, everything ok!
Could you please be so kind to help me with these matters? Or at least
indicate or forward this message to someone who will help me?
Thank you very much and thank's a lot to keep supporting this
EXCELLENT OS.
