Hello,
currently I experienced an unexpected behavior of the FreeBSD bsdinstall
installer. Some weeks ago I could use it sucessfully to create a jail
environment with
# bsdinstall jail /jails/myjail
Today I tried to repeat this on another system(2) and it fails after the
selection of the to-b

I wish to install FreeBSD on it, but I wanted to ask this beforehand :
Would it would be possible to install it on the 8 GB SSD sector ?
no idea how seagate momentus XT work.
AFAIK it tries to "automatically" move often used things to flash. so

A little drastic perhaps? Company policies can be changed[*].
Cheers,
by the disk unit's firmware itself. (I'm not even sure
it works without software drivers, judging by the funny
little pictures...)
yes it works without any drivers other than standard SATA driver.

depends on the company. But i assumed attempt to point out nonsense of
such policy were already done.

First of all, I want to address a thank you for your responses. They have

You're going to install FreeBSD as on any other hard disk. You
will then (hopefully) see a speed gain when in use. :-)
make sure noatime option is used in /etc/fstab
i use it everywhere, but with SSD cached disks it may be even more
important. No idea what is that drive caching strategy, but i
The read-cache idea is very sound, mainly because by using it this way Seagate
would not have to create a special set of

I don't think that this drive cache is smart enough to really cache needed
things and not flush that cache with useless data t
Dear users,
Does FreeBSD support waking system up from S3 (suspend to RAM) state
at specified time? On Linux, it can be achieved using rtcwake command
that uses RTC support in kernel.
If it's not supported, maybe I can somehow enable waking from S3 using
BIOS autoresume option? It powers my box o

Hi Darren,
thanks for diving into the issue. I looked through the mentioned places in the
bsdinstall code and understand it now.
