There was some console related work done recently by both me and someone else so it's possible this is a -current related issue. BUT as far as I know if you remove the keyboard there is nothing that would stop the machine from at least printing the PROM monitor's initial boot-up dialog to the serial port A. Even if the NVRAM settings are for "keyboard/screen" if the machine has no keyboard attached it should convert on its own to using the serial port. Do you get this initial PROM-related dialog at all? -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel | From owner-freebsd-sparc64@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Apr 5 13:40:08 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-sparc64@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CA1EE16A4CE for ; Mon, 5 Apr 2004 13:40:08 -0700 (PDT) Received: from soyouz2.netaktiv.com (ns2.netaktiv.com [80.67.170.3]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 45BC043D5D for ; Mon, 5 Apr 2004 13:40:08 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from stephane@sources.org) Received: by soyouz2.netaktiv.com (Postfix, from userid 10) id 66978A7AE4; Mon, 5 Apr 2004 22:40:07 +0200 (CEST) Received: from sources.org (stephane@localhost [127.0.0.1]) i35KbuG7012746; Mon, 5 Apr 2004 22:37:56 +0200 Message-Id: <200404052037.i35KbuG7012746@ludwigV.sources.org> X-Mailer: exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 (debian 2.5-1) with nmh-1.0.4+dev From: Stephane Bortzmeyer To: Ken Smith In-reply-to: <20040405201500.GA28015@electra.cse.Buffalo.EDU> (Ken Smith 's message of Mon, 05 Apr 2004 16:15:00 EDT) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Date: Mon, 05 Apr 2004 22:37:56 +0200 cc: freebsd-sparc64@freebsd.org Subject: Re: [-CURRENT] Nothing more on the console?

Setting this in /etc/rc.conf does configure this MAC address on this interface: ifconfig_hme1="ether 0a:0:20:00:fe:1" but, unfortunately, I also need these interfaces to get addressed via DHCP.

There's two ways of doing this. 1. dhclient's config file allows you to put in ifconfig commands for, say, setting the media type. That could be abused to set the mac address. 2. Netstart will execute the script /etc/start_if.foo0 in preference to an ifconfig_foo0 rc.conf line. Use that to set the address and call dhclient manually. > If that is not, my question is again .. where would the _best_ place to > set this be?

No special action is required. I installed my ultra5 like that. Just stick the CD in, power on, drop to OBP, and 'boot cdrom'.

I'm running Vinum (a replacement for the less functional CCD) on a Sun Netra T1 105 to mirror my /usr and /var partitions between the two drives w/ FreeBSD 5.2.1-REL. It is working perfectly so far! The only problem I have run into is that the trick to boot off of a vinum root partition on i386 does not work the same way with the sun disk label. =20 So right now I have a normal root partition on each drive (using the ssync program to mirror them every 5 minutes) and /var and /usr are=20 Vinum mirrored. --=20 Stephen Fisher San Jose, CA USA --huq684BweRXVnRxX Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFAdVpSOO1t8kNcHJoRAjxrAJ9zczNCLkG+7xbCsu4SfdsV8IAZmQCfWSAh i8b7qTQR2QOU+EBAv+1h+e4= =IUUt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --huq684BweRXVnRxX-- From owner-freebsd-sparc64@FreeBSD.ORG Thu Apr 8 11:25:05 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-sparc64@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8752C16A4CE for ; Thu, 8 Apr 2004 11:25:05 -0700 (PDT) Received: from electra.cse.Buffalo.EDU (electra.cse.Buffalo.EDU [128.205.32.2]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2A1A943D46 for ; Thu, 8 Apr 2004 11:25:03 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from kensmith@cse.Buffalo.EDU) Received: from electra.cse.Buffalo.EDU (kensmith@localhost [127.0.0.1]) i38IP28o025410 for ; Thu, 8 Apr 2004 14:25:02 -0400 (EDT) Received: (from kensmith@localhost) by electra.cse.Buffalo.EDU (8.12.10/8.12.9/Submit) id i38IP2jH025409 for freebsd-sparc64@freebsd.org; Thu, 8 Apr 2004 14:25:02 -0400 (EDT) Date: Thu, 8 Apr 2004 14:25:02 -0400 From: Ken Smith To: freebsd-sparc64@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20040408182502.GA24010@electra.cse.Buffalo.EDU> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="pWyiEgJYm5f9v55/" Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.1i Subject: 64-bit time_t snapshot ISO...

There were a few buglets that needed to be worked out before this could be finished... A fresh 64-bit time_t ISO image just got loaded on ftp-master in the snapshots/sparc64 directory. It's -current as of April 7th, 2004 and it includes the syscons fix and the fix to softupdates so that sysinstall doesn't crash while running off the installation CD. And of course it includes Garance's official commit of the 64-bit time_t. :-) So, as before, following Garance's instructions for upgrading your machine from 32-bit time_t to 64-bit time_t are excellent and you really shouldn't have any problems. But if you find you do have problems and need to reload the machine from scratch (or if you're installing a new machine now...) you might want to use this snapshot instead of the 5.2.1-RELEASE CD's and then needing to re-attempt the 64-bit time_t upgrade. Kris is still having problems with his keyboard but other than that all regressions I'm aware of right now are fixed. It's probably safe to re-enter the -current waters on sparc64 if you've been holding off because of the recent crop of problems. Kris's machine is an Ultra-30 with Creator-3D I believe so if that's what you have you might want to be a bit careful. On the other hand if you have that kind of machine and are not having keyboard problems I'd like to know - I don't have an Ultra-30.
