Hi, I made a wifi script based on the wlanconfig in bsdinstaller. here is the code: https://github.com/gihnius/freebsd-wifi I think we can make it more suitable for many devices and normal use. Any idea to write a normal feature script to use freebsd wifi easily ? and thanks to the author of wlanconfig.

Dear All , In sysinstall , there are menu items to install packages from release DVD . In bsdinstall , there is NO such package installation menu items . Another problem is there is no any available information about this subject in the Handbook installation pages ( at least I could not find any one one ) . Is there any such available information link , and is there any possibility to include su...

The first RC build of the 10.0-RELEASE release cycle is now available on the FTP servers for the amd64, i386, ia64, powerpc, powerpc64 and sparc64 architectures. * Please see the change list for an important note regarding the bsdinstall(8) ZFS on GELI option. The image checksums follow at the end of this email. ISO images and, for architectures that support it, the memory stick images are available here: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/10.0/ (or any of the FreeBSD mirror sites). If you notice problems...

...find any disks. I think there is a PR about the segfaulting (bad bug, no messages). I worked around the problem by going to the loader prompt when the initial boot choice screen came up; it's option 2. I gave the commands: load mps.ko boot Install went fine. I had to create (last bsdinstall screen, shell option) the file /boot/loader.conf, containing the single line: mps_load="YES" The system boots, and seems to be OK. The 9.1-Release kernel does not contain the mps module, so the above installs it, and the probe finds it as it should. I hope this helps. Karl Dunn...

...ll also uses "-s" to indicate silence on an install rather than stripping the binaries. I decided at this point to simply do some serious Makefile hacking to get `make install' to run without heed for Makefile.in. I've seen packages that have included a "bsdinstall" command. That may be necessary here. Now, the adventure will be in RUNNING the daemon to see what happens. :) Tally ho, -- =============================================================================== csaia at wtower.com, WTnet IRC Administrator - http://www.wtower.com/~csai...

I have been able to use the "make release" command to create a custom iso for FreeBSD which includes some changes to the various bsdinstall scripts. It all works well as the iso / memory stick images / ftp files are generated and usable. What I would now like to do is try adding couple of files, scripts and packages to this custom iso. I am a little confused on where the files should be placed to make it available to main install scri...

FreeBSD Community, I'm pleased to announce a CFT for builds of FreeBSD 12-stable and 13-current using "TrueOS-inspired" packaged base. These are stock FreeBSD images which will allow users to perform all updating via the 'pkg' command directly. Rather than trying to answer all questions in this announcement, we've created a FAQ page with more details. Please refer to

...ition type (swapfs GPT label) - ~17GB - freebsd-ufs GPT partition type (rootfs GPT label) Changes between -RC1 and -RC2 include: - Fix a crash when attempting to use a non-disk device as an iSCSI LUN. - Fix handling of empty iSCSI authentication groups. - Fix a regression in bsdinstall(8) that prevented the system from decrypting GELI providers when installing ZFS on GELI. - Several Radeon KMS bug fixes. - Several wireless bug fixes. - Several clang bug fixes. The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of amd64 and i386 systems running earlier FreeB...

Hello. I recently upgraded to 9.1-RC3, everything went fine, however the / partition its about to get full. Im really new to FreeBSD so I don?t know what files can be deleted safely. # find -x / -size +10000 -exec du -h {} \; 16M /boot/kernel/kernel 60M /boot/kernel/kernel.symbols 6.7M /boot/kernel/if_ath.ko.symbols 6.4M /boot/kernel/vxge.ko.symbols 9.4M

Guys, I've heard about some absurd RAM requirements for 9.1, has anybody tested it? e.g. http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=36314 -- View this message in context: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/9-1-minimal-ram-requirements-tp5771583.html Sent from the freebsd-stable mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
