Netbooting FreeBSD 4.0/Intel?

2000-03-17 Thread Matthew Zahorik
This was originally posted to freebsd-questions, but I didn't get a response. I'm hoping that someone in here has successfully netbooted a FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE box on Intel EtherExpress Pro 100+ cards and can share their story. Since I wrote this message, I have tried etherboot 4.4.5. Still no g

Bootable CD Question

I have a custom kernel that I need to have boot from a cd across as many machines as possible. I currently build the cd using scripts adapted from what is in src/release, (I now owe Poul-Henning more than one beer), and it boots every time in the lab, but people testing are reporting that it wil

procmap - Where does it belong?

2000-03-17 Thread Jason Evans
A couple of months ago I was doing some work on guard pages in libc_r and discovered that using 'cat' to view the VM map for a process is unreliable. This fact is documented in the proc code, and there is even an explanation of how to reliably read the map files. However, I could find no program

Can someone please tell me how I can read a file from a device driver in FreeBSD? I need to download 2 or 3 relatively-large code files to my device, choosing from amongst several different files depending on which mode I'm operating in. Therefore compiling-in the code is not a reasonable choic
