Just got BSD up and going...
I am currently stuck in the following areas:
1) I do not have mtools installed yet...how may I get the tarball
off of a floppy and onto my system? Can FreeBSD read a system V fs?
Should I stick with a dos formatted floppy (how can I mount it?).
2) What is the syntax for mounting a dos partition? I've tried
mount_msdos but am generating only stderr...I would also like to mount
an ext2 floppy...if possible.
3) Finally: I need to get my UUCP conf files happy with an
internal modem (com4 so it would be /dev/cuaa3...) Of course I get
the `device not configured' complaint from cu...anyone able to point
me to a relevant HOWTO or URL? I'm assuming I need to mkdev as sio3
is not found on boot diagnostics...
(Anybody know of a howto that covers forcing bsd to use HDB mode for
UUCP? Not too familiar with Taylor having used BNU for years...)
Many thanks!
Tom
