markiemrboo Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Yea, that game is probalby the reason its going so slow, not doing anything much at school though so I dont know if that helps or not. EDIT: Didn't see that, no I don't mind at all reminds me to read your post =D EDIT2: Check it out =D Buttons EDIT3 Would this work??? Got the hard drive for the server in my current computer. Could I install freeBSD on it then when I get the server just plug it in and run it? 512885[/snapback] Those buttons are pretty cool!! And yeah it should work like that, providing it'll install on your current computer If you try that route, make sure you take your current hard disk out and just have the server hard disk in though, otherwise it'll drop you to single user mode when you move it to another computer as primary master and you'll have to be messing about with /etc/fstab changing drive numbers and stuff.

markiemrboo Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 So if I unplug the others it will work, can I not disable them somehow instead? 513571[/snapback] Well, how do I explain this one? FreeBSD names it's hard drives by their configuration in your computer. Like: Primary Master = ad0 Primary Slave = ad1 Secondary Master = ad2 Secondary Slave = ad3 When you install it'll write mount points to a file /etc/fstab, which get mounted on startup. So if you install in your computer on PS (ad1) and move it to your server as PM (ad0) ... it's going to throw a fit at you because ad1 doesn't exist on the server computer. You'll be thrown to a prompt asking where the root mount point is, then you'll have to edit /etc/fstab from there and correct all the mount points to ad0. Soo.. so long as you install the disk on your machine as primary master, and move it over to the server as primary master you'll be ok. I think that's pretty much the only thing you'll have to look out for... I think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a new one! Try pressing ctrl+c whenever it stops and see if you can get to the login prompt so we can try sort it out lol. It's a pretty good drive. If you need the tools to flash the firmware to the XL drive I can send them to you Sorry I took so long to reply lol... I fell asleep!

galla2k4eva Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 I can get past all that if I leave it but then when I try and install ports updates the downloading times out =S where can I find the numbers for the network setup? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can change them with that too: `ifconfig fxp0 inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0` for instance. Network settings are in /etc/rc.conf for start up too. If you want to get back to the installer thing and do it that way then run `/stand/sysinstall` Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
galla2k4eva Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 But how do I figure out what the numbers SHOULD be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
