I've installed FreeBSD-6.0BETA4 and I'm having a bit of a time. I can't get the usb drive to mount... anywhere. The floppy drive won't mount when I type, # mount -v -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt so I can't even transfer files to a floppy drive to help post the error messages from the machine! I finally had to install an additional NIC (the on-board sis965L chipset -- I've verified that the device sis is in the GENERIC kernel config file, but that was just taking a guess since the sis device is ) to try to cvsup to the latest ports. There's no /etc/cvsupfile present. I would simply create one by hand, but I don't know what values to put in there now (RELEG_6 or BETA_6 or what). The machine is an asus vintage ae-1 (I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the other problems described below or not) and so far I haven't been successful in doing any of the following: 1) getting the on-board nic to light up 2) mounting a usb flash drive and now, 3) running cvsup When I created a /etc/cvsupfile by hand: bobby# cat cvsupfile *default host=cvsup5.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs *default tag=RELENG_6 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-src ports-all doc-all bobby# my response was: bobby# /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 /etc/cvsupfile Parsing supfile "/etc/cvsupfile" Parse error in "/etc/cvsupfile": Missing Field value And now I'm stuck... And frustrated.... Ideas? I went to 6.0BETA4 becuase of an initial problem with getting my hard drive past the boot process (I think BSD was detecting the incorrect disk geometry?) in 5.4 and I'm starting to wonder if I sould focus on that version rather than spend more time with 6.0BETAX... Or when is the next beta release? Jeff. --- Jeff D. Hamann Forest Informatics, Inc.
