When I > change /etc/rc.conf and reboot system no changes was saved :( "This not bug, this feature" :) Since we still not have good FS for NOR flashes, we use it as Read-Only, but few blocks (in most cases 64k, sometime 128k) we use for store tar.gz of /etc. To save it you need just run: /etc/save_etc > Are anywhere ports to install such as quagga, iperf, mc, snmpd, > trafshow, etc? Think bsnmpd can easily be added by creating simple profile (see profiles/ssh for example). How to use ports you can see here: http://ray-freebsd.blogspot.com/2011/09/cross-compiling-ports-for-freebsd.html As I was specify there - it is incorrect way, just because ports cross-building not yet done. Software that we have in contrib directory it is copy of projects source code after `make configure` in port. So ports(7) system already apply FreeBSD patches and ./configure done creating configuration headers. But please note: everything done for your host system, not for mips in your box. Then create Makefiles in target dir. You can use DHCP family for reference (target/lib/libdhcp, target/sbin/dhclient, target/sbin/dhcpd). And of course ask me if have something to ask :) And IRC channel #zrouter @EFNet wait for you :) > Thanks > > Jan > _____ > > From: Aleksandr Rybalko [mailto:ray@ddteam.net] > To: Juli Mallett [mailto:jmallett@FreeBSD.org] > Cc: jan.augusta@fifejdy.cz, mips@FreeBSD.org > Sent: Sun, 01 Apr 2012 23:56:26 +0200 > Subject: Re: How to compile and install Freebsd to Routerstation PRO > > On Sun, 1 Apr 2012 14:33:29 -0700 > Juli Mallett <jmallett@FreeBSD.org> wrote: > > > On Sun, Apr 1, 2012 at 14:30, Aleksandr Rybalko <ray@ddteam.net> > > wrote: > > > On Sun, 1 Apr 2012 14:18:09 -0700 > > > Juli Mallett <jmallett@FreeBSD.org> wrote: > > > > > >> Hi Jan, > > >> > > >> Do you want to boot the RS Pro from network, or from NAND?
