這邊說的是 FreeBSD 6.x (20060127 之後), 7.x 的用法，之前的可以看in2's Serial Console（他的不太對，最後還要用 bsdlabel(8) update Bootstraps 才對）。如果不是直接裝 20060127 以後的 6.x，請先用 bsdlabel(8) 更新過 Bootstraps 才行，否則認不得 -S 這個（可能要關掉 GEOM 防射腳，才能更新）。

• 開機用 screen 接的話

/usr/bin/env HOME=/root TERM=cons25 LANG=C /usr/local/bin/screen -dm -c /root/screenrc-console

defscrollback 20000
vbell off
screen -t con /root/tip.sh con

#!/bin/sh

export HOME=/root
export TERM=cons25
while true; do
        /usr/bin/tip $@
        echo "sleep 10 secs"
        /bin/sleep 10
done

If you see 'panic: journal overflow', tune

kern.geom.journal.force_switch=50
kern.geom.journal.cache.switch=75

to force journal flush more frequently.

If kern.geom.journal.stats.wait_for_copy is higher, tune

kern.geom.journal.parallel_copies=24 # default 16
kern.geom.journal.parallel_flushes=12 # default 16

to force gjournal copies data faster.

Increase gjournal cache (by increase total kernel memory)

• Load bootonly CD into /pxe
  • vfs.root.mountfrom=“ufs:/dev/md0c” in loader.conf
  • gzip -d boot/mfsroot.gz
• [OPTIONAL] export installation CD via NFS
• DHCP

host pxe {
  hardware ethernet 00:11:22:33:44:55;
  fixed-address 10.0.0.1;
  next-server 10.0.0.254; # server ip (nfs, also for tftp server)
  # server-identifier 10.0.0.254;
  filename "/boot/pxeboot"; # relative to tftp root
  option root-path "/pxe/"; # bootonly, absolute path
}

• NFS [OPTIONAL?]

• tftp

• in2's 在 FreeBSD 上使用 ipmi 進行遠端電源管理
• 在 20060615 以後的 RELENG_6 已經內建 ipmi(4)
• 用 bge(4) 的話，需要 patch (已經在 HEAD 了，這個只是單純 backport)
• 設定

ipmitool -I open chassis status
ipmitool -I open lan set 7 ipaddr 該網卡的IP
ipmitool -I open lan set 7 netmask 該網卡的netmask
ipmitool -I open lan set 7 defgw ipaddr 該網卡的DefaultGateway # 不見得
ipmitool -I open lan set 7 access on
ipmitool -I open lan set 7 password 你的密碼
ipmitool -I open lan set 7 auth CALLBACK MD5
ipmitool -I open lan set 7 auth USER MD5
ipmitool -I open lan set 7 auth OPERATOR MD5
ipmitool -I open lan set 7 auth ADMIN MD5
ipmitool -I open lan set 7 user

• 測試

ipmitool -A PASSWORD -I lan -H 該機器的ip -P 密碼 chassis status
