OpenBSD / Installing Openbsd

« on: August 29, 2005, 09:58:40 pm »

I used the INSTALL.zaurus. I think alot of users are initially turned off to it due to its enormous size  . The link I posted above is just over a page long and shows how to install OpenBSD on the Z. Alot of the material in the INSTALL.zaurus is a copy and paste from other architecture's INSTALL.* adding some illusionary bulk (good info none the less) Someone could easily write a a mini-INSTALL.zaurus in a page or two.
*points at barryg*

However as barryg stated:

[flamegear engagage]
OpenBSD installation assumes that the reader has thourouly done their
homework *before* installing it. Meaning the audience has already read
and reread the installation documentation, browsed through the openbsd
faq[] for general queries, read though the archives other user
experiences and notes.

OpenBSD was never designed for the majority of linux users and PDA
market in general. It is mainly a product of geeks that enjoy creating
secure code and systems. Hence its appeal usually is strong on the
systems and network administrator types as well as the developer people.
It is *not* aimed at mass market. (This is harsh to a geek exposed
mainly to linux environment but that is reality, browse a few months
worth of the openbsd-misc mailing list).

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Openbsd 3.7 Released

« on: May 20, 2005, 02:30:58 pm »

School finals  

I'm aware that development has been going on for awhile. 3.7 is the first release to *officially* support the Zaurus. Also, I know that the port was at it's current state before the 3.7 release ..was just wondering what people who have tried it thus far had to say.

I fixed my previous problem by redoing the entire partition table. I just wrote down the amount of sectors in each parition and then deleted all of the paritions, saved changes and recreated the paritions as they were and everything went well afterwards. I'll try to come back later and elaborate more but that was the gist of it.

  hi

maybe it wouldn't be "too difficult" to port netbsd evbarm who has been designed to work on
xscale http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/evbarm/
I'm waiting for my c3k and would be interested to port it, if i'm not alone 
it would rocks to have netbsd on zaurus 

excuse my bad english 

BSD on the Zaurus would definately be very nice  . Keep us informed shanks!

Thanks for the fast reply Newbix!
The problem is that I can't create a parition3 . When I try to delete the "aritifact" is says, "Warning: parition 3 has empty type."

When I try to change the type is says, "Partition 3 does not exist yet!"

When I try to create a new parition with 'n' it automatically goes to parition4

 

I hope I'm not in anykind of trouble  

I tried the mkfs.msdos command just incase but got, mkfs.msdos: Attempting to create a too large file system.

It worked nicely. But I have a bit of a newbie question. How do I go back to the 3gb fat parition? I've tried to delete the partition with fdisk then create a new one but have some how managed to create a parition that shows up as "Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary". It does not allow me to delete this partion or change it's type which is Emtpy. How can I get rid of this misbehaving parition?

/dev/hda3 Start=1 End=1 Blocks=0 id=0 System=Empty

Sorry for the repost

I have a bit of a newbie question. How do I go back to the 3gb fat parition(once modified)? I've tried to delete the partition with fdisk then create a new one but have some how managed to create a parition that shows up as "Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary". It does not allow me to delete this partion or change it's type which is Emtpy. How can I get rid of this misbehaving parition?

/dev/hda3 Start=1 End=1 Blocks=0 id=0 System=Empty

When I try to delete hda3 I get
Warning: partition3 has an empty type

If I try to give it a type with 't' I get
Partition does not exist yet!

Sorry for repost.

Thanks.

Thanks Newbix!

I'm gonna deviate a bit from your guide though, mainly because I still want to have a swap, and a fat partition for usb storage. I hope that doesn't take too much hacking

C1000/3x00 Hardware / Compilation Of Wifi Cf For 3k

To get the Symbol Wireless Networker working with the C3000:

Enter these commands into the terminal:
su
cd /home/etc/pcmcia
vi spectrum.conf

Delete the # from the begining of the second line
Enter a # at the beginning of the third line
Save the changes
Reboot

After trying that out I still had no luck. I deleted all previous wifi devices from list in the network setup then tried Settings -> Network -> Wizard -> detect. Clicked yes all the way through and it worked!

Let me know if the aforementioned doesn't work

tchen, plug in your card then goto Settings -> Network -> Wizard -> detect. Click yes and let it configure it for you. If you continue to have any problems let me know. You and I have the same card and mine is working so it's only a matter of a couple of clicks
