I thougt that vipw was depend on envar EDITOR, not always vi. passwd won't work if you have only master.passwd file. passwd is used to modify password, not repairing a broken system, it can't even used to clearing password, I think. On the other hand, vipw will regenerate all the necessary...

File pwd.db is generated from passwd. master.passwd database should be spwd.db Sure you can do the hardway/manually, or you can just type vipw and save.

The bootcode /boot/boot is for MBR/UFS only. As the name implied, for GPT/UFS use /boot/gptboot, for GPT/ZFS use /boot/gptzfsboot. But it should have been taken care by the installer, I guess, I never used the installer anymore, just prepare the partitions (disklabeling/gparting), then extract...

I don't have clue a about how zfs partition laid-out, but for ufs partition to boot, you have to put freebsd's bootcode on it, file: /boot/boot. The second sector is where the freebsd's slice table reside, so you may not overwrite it either. You have to get current slice table, merge it with...

Or maybe the bootcode was never been there. I used to put the generic one with FDISK /MBR, from DOS, yes DOS :)

It's either BIOS or MBR problem, I guess installer did put the right bootcode on MBR didn't it? I reckon there was an option to put bootmanager when installing FreeBSD.

Have you set the active partition on the boot disk's MBR?

I'm not sure with what you said about "normal/abnormal" splash screen but to prevent FreeBSD forth logo from displaying, you can put beastie_disable=yes somewhere in /boot/loader.conf[.local]

No need a workaround, as with nvi, you can do search/replacement with sed using literal character, [\][RETURN] for linefeed (backslash escaped) sed -E 's/Q[0-9]+/&\ /g' file.txt When using doublequotes, the backslash itself must be escaped sed -E "s/Q[0-9]+/&\\ /g" file.txt Backslashed...

You can use literal [RETURN] or [CTRL-M] (type [CTRL-V] first to escape them) example: :%s/RETURN/^M/g The [CTRL-M] above typed in by sequence: [CTRL-V][CTRL-M] I know it's char(0x13) or CR, but nvi treat them as ^J or linefeed. And I'm happy with that.

You can try fallback to sc in /boot/loader.conf kern.vty=sc

I meant to put them on buildworld arguments. And sorry for my rusty brain, I got it mixed, it would be TARGET to specify cross-compile. make buildworld TARGET=i386 TARGET_ARCH=i386 I thought if you specify TARGET_ARCH=i386 it should know that TARGET also i386, but not in your case, I guess you...

-march=i686 is a cpu opt/cflags not target platform, 64bit platform would be amd64. But why are you building 64bit libc.so.7, are you sure it's been building an 64bit libc? I was asking you about src release not clang version. I assumed it extracted from official dist src.txz of 11-RELEASE...

Of course it is possible to build 32bit on 64bit platform we have done it all the time and I don't recall some specific x64 CPU restricted to do that or even concerned at all. You just need the proper compiler and toolchains to cross-compile and for amd64 to i386 you virtually need no more than...

How do you expect subnet 10 answered to 172.16? (You're not mentioning anything about you're pinging from net 10), Who and where is that 10.0.1.254 anyway? You missed to give a very critical information.

You can try ftp.tw.freebsd.org in taiwan, It quite fast and not too far away from your location.

I have taken the BSDA in 2012 in Melbourne (expired this year). Actually it covers all *BSD family though I don't think it really matters much. Some usual networking-TCP/IP stuff, subnetting, kown assigned port services etc. But there's no routing/switching as hard as in some vendor specific...

Hello, with freebsd vm images now also deployed as official distribution, I'd like to share some first-run VMWare tips for beginner to start up quickly. Preparation: Extract freebsd-xxx.vmdk.xz VMWare image: 7z x freebsd-xxx.vmdk.xz. Create a new virtual machine with extracted image as disk...

alias cls='tput -T $TERM clear' works for me since v4.11 upto v11

Has anyone tried embedded FreeBSD on TP-Link WDR-4300? I'm currently using Gragoyle DD-WRT on this router, quite nice, but I prefer BSD Firewall (pf/ipf).
