Odd vmware / vnconfig (?) configuration.

Hi, This is quite a complicated setup, I think. I've got a single 80GB disk in my machine, which currently has Windows XP and FreeBSD installed. Since I only use WinXP from time-to-time I would like to be able to boot it from VMware3 WS (which is installed and working). FreeBSD is /dev/ad0s

Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: Device busy ?

Hi, How can I find out which app. keeps /dev/dsp busy? Without any other sound application running, I got this message when starting mplayer or realaudio. Somehow the system got muddled up. After some random trial and error, I finally discovered that everything came back to normal when I killed

Re: 486SX, 100MB HDD - need FreeBSD, how?

Alex, If you are really desperate or have a "just gonna do this for fun" attitude you could do the following: 1) If you have more than 1 computer, steal the Floppy Drive for the time it takes you to install. 2) If you have a laplink or even a parallel port xover cable you can use that to install

4.8 Install for Web Server

Any pointers or suggestions on a fresh install of 4.8, when the box will be used for a web server running in a handful of jails? It has 80gig HD, so one of the issues I'm inquiring about is a good partitioning scheme. Thanks, Chris ___ [EMAIL PROTECTE

Sean and Andrew, I'm no expert, but two things strike me as odd. Perhaps some greater Guru can tell us whether or not they represent a problem. >> I'm trying to get my first FreeBSD (4.8-RELEASE) >> installation working, ... >> Next, I created a NTFS partition on the drive >> with an XP install

OK w/ 4.8R: sendto: buffer space not available

IMO, I think this area of dev should be revisited before 4.9-RELEASE. Because when I brought it down to 4.8-RELEASE via cvsup, it has not failed yet. It usually fails around 12 hrs from boot. And it has been 14+ hours now running very fine. One thing I noticed though... it seems that over time, th
