HOWTO: Fix Lenovo ThinkAdvantage Update caused boot problem for FreeBSD boot manager

2008-01-22 13:35 | Security | #bug | #ThinkPad， Lenovo

It seems that a recent ThinkAdvantage update will cause FreeBSD boot manager to have some problem (A “Drive 0” will appear as fifth option, and all other options would not work except a beep). It is possible to recover from this situation by using FreeBSD LiveFS disc (for amd64 platform):

Start from CD-ROM;
Choose “Fixit” and “CD-ROM”;
Now you get the command line prompt;
Mount your hdd to /mnt/;
mv /boot /boot.old && ln -s /mnt2/boot /boot
mv /usr /usr.old && ln -s /mnt2/usr /usr
“boot0cfg -B /dev/ad4” (Note: your SATA controller should be in AHCI mode, otherwise it should be ad0)
Then you will be able to use boot0cfg to configure the boot partition. Reboot system then everything will go well.

Micropolis ported to FreeBSD

Today I have ported (a rather hacky patch) Micropolis (a GPL’ed version of SimCity) to FreeBSD.

(20080114) Note: the patch is based on the git version of micropolis-activity, as available from git://dev.laptop.org/projects/micropolis-activity .

BSD ar(1) announced

Kai Wang has announced today the BSD ar(1) is available for wider testing. This is amazing work, the creation and list speed are 5-20 times faster than GNU ar(1), and extraction speed is also slightly better than GNU ar(1).

It is also important to note that this version is completely BSD-licensed (yes, that means that you are free from the lair’s license), and is a piece of the vital parts of the FreeBSD DTrace work.
