Hi all,
I have a problem with some steps. I managed to have a root access (everything went without a glitch) but now when I try to install busybox, I have a problem. When i try

mkdir -p $bin

i get an error = read only file system

also when I do a ls -la i get

-la No Such File Or Directory

It seems that my firmware is a little shorter on commands (IG8 FW). Any ideas?

Comment on My first shot of NetBSD (5.0) by Ignace Mouzannar (-ghantoos-)

Thank you Patrick for pointing out this typo. It has been corrected.

It is a weird bug you faced with the timezones. Thanks for telling us about it!

Thanks for this! After hours and hours of failed trial and error trying to get netbsd5 installed as a kvm guest *with* a functioning NIC, I finally found your tips here, and it got the job done.

Typo alert: “# /etc/rc.d/ssd start” –> “# /etc/rc.d/sshd start”

Also, at the end of install, I chose America/LosAngeles as my timezone. After restarting the guest, my installation was unbootable, even choosing boot option #4. I started the installation again from scratch and was careful to choose UTC instead. This time I had no such problem booting the installed system. Not sure if UTC is necessary or not, or what the deal was, but maybe it is worth noting.

Comment on FreeBSD: keep root’s shell inside /bin! by Ignace Mouzannar (-ghantoos-)

I hadn’t initialise toor’s password. I will do this now. ;)

However, it seems recommend, in the official FreeBSD security FAQ, to change toor’s default shell, and keep root’s shell unchanged.

Thank you bapt for this tip.

On freebsd you have a user toor which has exactly the same rights as root and exists exactly for that purpose (leave the default shell for that user and customise the root shell as you want). In case you have this kind of trouble, just login as toor and fix everything.

Comment on Debian, BCM4328 and ndiswrapper by Paul Thomas

Thanks! What a life saver! After a significant upgrade to my Debian
distro, fixing ndiswrapper was one of those things. This solution is
what was needed!

Comment on Mounting UFS in read/write under Linux (debian) by Phillip

Phillip — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:39:15 +0000

If you get the error “Read-only file system” when trying to write to the drive you need to do a fsck on
a solaris machine before mounting under linux. Looking at the code there are quire a few states that
remark the file system as readonly.

Run: dmesg | tail
if you see any of the following then it will be marked as readonly
ufs_read_super: fs is active
ufs_read_super: fs is bad
ufs_read_super: can’t grok fs_clean 0xFFFFFFF
ufs_read_super: fs needs fsck

if you see any of the following then it will be left as readwrite
fs is clean
fs is stable
fs is DEC OSF

@fiasko

Désolé pour le retard de cette réponse. J’ai cru comprendre sur un forum que tu avais finalement réussi à installer la debian ;)

Si tu as toujours besoin d’aide, n’hésite pas à m’envoyer un mail.

Cheers,
