FreeBSD console weirdness when booting from usb stick

Hi, I'm booting FreeBSD 8 from an USB stick, but when I do so, the console no longer works. They USB keyboard seems to do nothing, and during the boot process when the daemons are starting it seems like there is another keyboard attached on which the ENTER key is stuck. That is, while the dae

Problem setting up PPTP server

Hi, I'm trying to set up mpd (3.18) on a FreeBSD server to allow windows and linux clients to connect. Currently I've only been trying to make the linux connection succeed (Ubuntu with ppp-2.4.4), but I get the following output from linux pppd: CHAP authentication succeeded sent [CCP ConfReq id=

Re: Problem setting up PPTP server

esxi and freebsd vlans

8.1.x addresses don't work. I've tried setting the vlan id on the vSwitch to none and to 22, but in neither of the two cases does it work. Does anybody have FreeBSD vlan's working on ESXi or know how to get it working? Many thanks, Sebastiaan van Erk smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

CARP & bridge

FreeBSD as USB joystick

Hi, I'm wondering if I can turn my FreeBSD into a (very expensive ;-)) joystick. That is, I have a PS2 and want to be able to control it via my laptop. This would amount to connecting a USB cable between my PS2 and my laptop, and getting the PS2 to detect it as a joystick with the right ident
