Does the firewall device have a command line interface, perhaps accessible via telnet? Have you checked the device's network address hasn't reverted to its default (that is, the web interface may still be available but not on the IP address you expect)? For connecting via a serial link you...

I wouldn't expect you to need a freebsd-boot partition when using the UEFI bootloader so I'm not sure that was the cause of the issue. Did you try installing with the default partitioning proposed by the installer as I suggested? In previous releases the *-memstick image has been a hybrid...

The good news from your bootloader message is that the first stage UEFI bootloader is running fine. The bad news is that it then can't find the next stage bootloader, which lives inside /boot. It seems unlikely to me (though it is possible) that this would be a general flaw in the FreeBSD...

Atsuri, it is possible (that is, in an ugly hack way) to store the contents of /boot on the EFI partition with FreeBSD but I really wouldn't recommend it. I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with it for GNU/Linux either but since this is a FreeBSD forum let's ignore that for now :) I would suggest...

Really nice solution, tobik. I wasn't previously aware of GEOM CONCAT. It would be easy to script for a large number of files, with the caveat that GEOM CONCAT doesn't seem to support device modification, meaning that the device would need to be destroyed and recreated to add or remove files...

It would be possible to write your own small device driver to do this, where the driver presented the device /dev/clink that could be read in the way you suggest. See the page in the FreeBSD handbook on character devices or for more detailed information the book FreeBSD Device Drivers. Another...

You mentioned disks (plural). Did the order (and therefore numbering) of the drives change from the old machine to the new machine? If so is it possible you have restored the wrong metadata? According to the geli man page, the metadata is stored on the last sector of the provider. It is...

Did you make changes from the default SSH daemon configuration (/etc/ssh/sshd_config)? If so, posting the configuration file would be useful. If you are running an SSH server on your GNU/Linux Mint host you could use scp to copy it from the FreeBSD guest to your host system.

When you say you moved your system to a new box, what did you do? Physically move the hard disks or copy the data from your old hard disks onto the new hard disks in the new machine? Since your data is important, I am hopeful you have a backup. It might be quicker to configure new GELI...

Hi, bicboi, welcome to FreeBSD and the forums. Your port forwarding in VirtualBox looks to be working fine. However, you said that the bicboi user doesn't exist on the FreeBSD guest system. This is the cause of the "illegal user" error when you try to log in as bicboi. You need to specify...

From the FreeBSD development wiki page: I have experienced the same issue, though not yet submitted a PR. Try creating your filesystem as FAT16 to see whether that works. You could also create your FAT32 filesystem with another operating system. FreeBSD will still be able to read and write...

I find a lot of organisations spend a lot of money securing information whilst it is sitting on a server somewhere and then tend to forget that putting unencrypted hard disks, USB flash disks, paper etc straight in the trash puts their information at risk. I am definitely all for recycling old...

I also meant to mention that the NSA offers guidance and a list of products. In the UK, CESG, which is part of =field_product_certifications%253Afield_assurance%3A226&f[1]=field_topics%253Aname%3ADestruction%20%26%20Disposal']GCHQ (UK equivalent of NSA) offers something similar and has a...

a59303, You have hit upon a topic close to my heart :) In addition to the already mentioned NIST Special Publication 800-88 "Guidelines for Media Sanitization", there is guidance in ISO/IEC 27040 "Information technology -- Security techniques -- Storage security", which also includes guidance...

The WikiChip website looks like it might be helpful: And also says that the MFC0 instruction can be used to read from registers in coprocessor 0. The WikiChip page references the /arch/mips/include/asm/cpu.h Linux kernel header file for interpretation of the return values.

Sunny Goel, Perhaps for the benefit of other people finding this thread you could post your C source code for fetching CPU information on a MIPS processor? If you have working code in C for fetching CPU information on a MIPS processor, why use inline assembler at all? But assuming you have a...

The reason I suggested looking at GNU/Linux is that I ran a quick search and found this source file tantilisingly called cpuid_mips.c from a library project called OpenBLAS. On GNU/Linux it reads /proc/cpuinfo and seems to expect to be able to differentiate between variants of the Loongson 3...

In FreeBSD I would have looked to the cpuctl device but unfortunately the man page says only i386 and amd64 are supported. Perhaps you could look at the relevant MIPS instruction set reference? Or perhaps take a look to see whether/how another operating system like GNU/Linux has implemented it?

Agreed. Perhaps you should consider asking the application supplier for support since they should know how to compile their own code. Is the application you are trying to compile designed for FreeBSD? Perhaps it uses GNU/Linux binaries and you haven't installed the binary compatability layer...

You could try using the last version of the lang/gcc44 port with the current ports tree but it may require some modification to work correctly (the FreeBSD Porter's Handbook may be helpful if this is the path you want to take). It would also be possible to compile and install GCC 4.4 outside of...
