I have the latest 9.1-RELEASE memstick image burned to a USB drive.
I boot from that and connect to my device with a serial console. At some
point, the installer asks me what terminal emulation I am using - I choose
vt100.
But then things go to hell ...
I am not complaining that the screen dr
We created a few 8.3-RELEASE systems with boot mirrors using onboard Intel
ICH10R. The system picks up the mirror with "ataraid" and I see it in dmesg
like this:
ar0: 114312MB status: READY
But it seems that graid is a much better option, and ataraid has problems (I am

I am installing 8.3-RELEASE on an old 900mhz pentium laptop ... it's an i686
CPU.
By default, GENERIC has "HAMMER" as the cpu, and that isn't working. So I
tried both:
cpu I586_CPU
and:
cpu I686_CPU
(I also tried them both lowercase, like i686_cpu)
But all of these fail:
GENERIC:
The big report that google published made it clear that even a single "scan
error" in the SMART data of a disk drive is a good predictor of eventual
failure...
However, when I run smartctl:

I have a fairly simple ipfw ruleset, which looks like:

I'm going to run FreeBSD off of a flash drive on some older mac mini systems.
Before I begin, though, I'd like some advice on the best USB thumb drives for
this.
These systems will be deployed and left in place, hopefully for YEARS in a
remote, inaccessible location. So, I'd like to make sure
Old 6.4-RELEASE system.
Two filesystems exist, each of which is on its own raid controller.
(Background fsck is not workable for various reasons that are tl;dr.)
So, theoretically, doing both fscks at the same time is workable, since each of
them are on their own controller, and no disk/control
FreeBSD 6.4-RELEASE system with two physical CPUs, each of which are HT
capable. From dmesg:
cpu0 (BSP): APIC ID: 0
cpu1 (AP): APIC ID: 1
cpu2 (AP): APIC ID: 6
cpu3 (AP): APIC ID: 7
I also see this:
