Well slightly changing the mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s2 /mnt mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/mydisk has managed to mount that USB harddrive, finally. Phew :) That will enable me to post lengthy outputs. Now I need to find a way to mount the ad1 or ad1s1 or ad1s1a or whatever... And as for the...

I've tried adding -t msdosfs or -t msdos so that it reads: mount -t msdosfs /dev/msdosfs /mnt/mydisk they both returned this time mount_msdosfs /dev/msdosfs : Block device required Well if ms dos FAT is not so compatible with FreeBSD, then which one ? Let me know it and use it.

Because that harddisk was a leftover from an Apple computer, it had GPT partitioning scheme on it. I've repartitioned it using the macOS Disk Utility to have MBR partitioning and the plain old ms dos FAT formatting. And I've put several mp3 files onto it to easily identify the harddisk on the...

For the time being posting the outputs in plain text over cat > file.txt is prohibitively difficult because I can't even connect a USB harddrive to the FreeBSD and it's not connected to the local network.

Well I've tried for about 30 minutes, to mount a USB harddisk. I've used a ms-dos FAT formatted, laptop-sized 30GB Toshiba IDE harddisk to make it most compatible with the FreeBSD-7.2. After I plug it in, the csh returns: da0: <TOSHIBA MK3018GAS 0000> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device...

df returns (again screenshot as it will be messed up by the tabs&spaces in output)

olli@ I run FreeBSD mainly to explore Unix administration, to try Unix tools, etc so the security, vulnerability stuff don't matter. But one thing matters really and it's the compatible operation with the hardware and the version 7.2 works perfectly on early 2000's hardware. More on that stuff...

I'm running FreeBSD-7.2 on the PC whose specs are given at the signature below. I've connected an IDE harddisk on which FreeBSD-7.4 is installed. I'd like to copy some files from it into the current harddisk ls /dev gives ad1 ad1s1 ad1s1a ad1s1b ad1s1c ad1s1d ad1s1e ad1s1f ad1s1fg ad2 ad2s1...

Thank you for the reply. As can be seen on the signature, the PC is a 2000 make i386 machine with limited storage & memory resources. I use it mainly to explore basic Unix applications, tools, etc. FreeBSD 7.4 works perfectly on it. Other versions likely bring in issues not present on this...

Thank you for the reply. I might upgrade in the future but I'd still like to make the NDIS driver work because I'm in it for learning purposes, too.

Hello I'm trying to make my USRobotics WiFi PCI card work with NDIS on FreeBSD 7.4. The chipset of the card is BCMWL5 and those 2 files necessary for ndisgen to form a kernel loadable driver are present: bcmwl5.inf BCMWL5.SYS ndisgen has successfully compiled them into kernel loadable file...

How can I reset that state in firewall / Packet Filter? A simple restart (pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf) didn't cut it.

I reload the firewall by pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf i.e. the changes take effect. But that particular IP defeats the PF :(

Hello I run sshd and to keep intruders off I activated the PF like: pf.conf: anchor "emerging-threats" load anchor "emerging-threats" from "/etc/pf.anchors/emerging-threats" /etc/pf.anchors/emerging-threats: table <emerging_threats> persist file "/etc/emerging-block-ips.txt" block log from...

I have solved the issue. 1- In OSX Lion, the PAM scheme is a bit different than OSX Leopard, in particular the /etc/pam.d/pure-ftpd file is different. As a quick fix, OSX' built-in ftp server 's PAM file at /etc/pam.d/ftpd can be substituted as the pure-ftpd's PAM file. So # cp /etc/pam.d/ftpd...

Thank you for the comments. Well I use this Mac mini for many projects and app developments inside the LAN and FTP port (21) is not open to Internet so security is not a concern. I need root access because I frequently need to access and edit folders such as /usr and /Library; having root is...

Hello First of all I should mention that the FTP I'm talking about is pure-ftpd (sourceforge.net/projects/pureftpd) running on a Mac mini with Mac OS X Lion. The reason why I 'm here is because I couldn't get any solution on all of the other forums related to Mac OS X, such as macosxhints.com...

I 've forgotten the name of the error in the installation from ports, but I remember it first downloaded too many patches and I guess the error might have something to do with this huge number of patches. I might try the editors/vim-lite I will try FreeBSD 9.2 for PowerPC soon. Thanks.

Hello See the picture, I can't install vim among several other basic applications onto my PowerPC Mac mini with FreeBSD 9.0. I tried installing from ports but it gave a compilation error. Should I downgrade from FreeBSD 9.0 in hopes it might have vim?

That has worked out! I've entered the same lines: setenv auto-boot setenv boot-device hd:,ofwboot reset-all and to my luck it worked the way I wanted. I noticed that Mac OS X 10.5 icon now comes at first in alt-boot menu. That's good, thanks.
