Looking at the SuperMicro X7DBU user manual, page 4-4 (page 60 of the PDF), I believe you should adjust the BIOS settings. I would recommend: Set Parallel ATA to disabled Check Serial ATA is set to enabled (this is the default) Set SATA Controller Mode to Enhanced Set SATA AHCI to enabled...

After the guest locked up, are there any errors on the host console (check by running dmesg)? What about in the guest Windows Event Log? Is there anything running on your host system that might automatically mount the USB disk (check whether it has been mounted somewhere by running mount |...

An afterthought: to save your sanity, it might be worth tracking down your motherboard's manual in case it specifies particular requirements for disk controller connections.

It is interesting that the BIOS lists "IDE:HDDx". PATA (IDE) drives needed the master/slave explicitly set to work correctly and some of the first SATA drives also had a master/slave jumper. However, given their size, I expect your drives are modern and do not have a master/slave jumper. Have...

Before you fully commit to writing a device driver, with umass in the 12.1 kernel and a recent version of emulators/virtualbox-ose what errors are you experiencing?

How far does the boot process get when it fails? What messages can you see? Are you using UEFI boot? If so do you have multiple EFI system partitions? If not have you installed boot code on all disks?

Since the mail/dovecot port doesn't delete /var/empty as part of the package removal, I don't think this can be considered a bug. The man page for rmuser suggests that it will ask for confirmation before deleting a home directory. Did you answer yes? Or invoke it as rmuser -y dovecot so that...

Welcome to the forums, ssw01. What symptoms are you seeing? Are both your host and guest systems running FreeBSD?

I really enjoyed Assembly Language Step By Step by Jeff Duntemann. It's an introduction for the 32-bit x86 instruction set so don't expect it to be the last book you read on assembly language. Other books I looked at first out all felt like reference manuals for the x86 instruction set, whereas...

balanga, ports-mgmt/synth might be worth a look as an alternative if you are only building ports for a single system.

Hi harika1258. I've been intending to write an updated version of this post for some time since as of FreeBSD 10.3 the UEFI bootloader supports booting from a ZFS pool, not just a UFS partition. Hooray! Also a cause for celebration is the fact that the installer now includes the option to...

Hi greatfox, welcome to the forums. It's certainly possible to install FreeBSD by hand and judging by your posts here you are not afraid to dive in. There is no magic and if you like you can take a look at exactly what the bsdinstall tool does by looking at its source here. However, I would...

I understand what you want to do and why, though unfortunately I don't think it's possible. However, I would suggest also asking on the freebsd-pkg mailing list. Do consider sysutils/poudriere, particularly if you were planning to provide your software via a package repository. As long as...

Welcome to the forums, Xylene. You could use Poudriere (available as the port sysutils/poudriere) to build multiple versions of your package, each targeted at a different version of FreeBSD and also for each of the i386 and amd64 architectures if needed.

You can create the device manually with ifconfig ipfw0 create and automatically by including firewall_logif="YES" in rc.conf. You also need the sysctl value for net.inet.ip.fw.verbose set to 0, which I think is default anyway. I believe the IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE kernel option (if you're using a...

Welcome to the forums, sysnes. Two further alternatives: security/sudo configured to allow your user account to run ezjail-admin with root privileges. (Assuming you connect from a remote machine anyway) Run sshd in the jail and log in directly to it, rather than first via the host.

I found an old post seeking to solve the same issue: ipv4-source-address-selection.1425. I tried to find what the logic is in FreeBSD to choose a source IP address but couldn't find it documented (I was hoping for something like this, which details rules for source IP address selection for two...

It's probably also worth pointing out that with the possible exception of assigning the static public IP as primary and the DHCP assigned private address as an alias by configuring dhclient.conf, which may or may not be possible [Edit: I tried it and it's not possible] and may or may not work...

You make a good point regarding the default router being on the same subnet -- I feel foolish for not thinking it through properly. It is possible to specify a static route using route, using the -interface switch to specify a directly reachable destination. Perhaps you could set up a static...

Welcome to the forums, pl. Can you link to the old posts that you found? I also thought of NAT as I was reading your post. It certainly feels clumsy but would get the job done. Rather than solve the problem, can you avoid it? Do you actually need your dynamically assigned address? Could you...
