The PKGBASE way of things on FreeBSD is still not fully mature (and officially marked as experimental). I tried to cover all PKGBASE things in the Brave New PKGBASE World article but I need to add …

I installed 14.3 on my y500 with nvidia geforce gt 750. After installation: > sysrc dbus_enable="YES" lightdm_enable="YES" ifconfig_em0="DHCP" kld_list+=" nvidia-modeset nvidia-drm" > > vi /boot/loader.conf > hw.nvidiadrm.modeset=1 > nvidia-modeset_load="YES" > nvidia-drm_load="YES" > > Click to expand... Reboot and kernel panic. I see the trailing messages - it's surely nvidia related. Prior to all of this, I did: ` `bectl create baseline`` so that I can select the baseline boot environment and get it working again, but I want to figure out what went wrong. I selected baseline and booted, then I did ` `bectl mount default /mnt`` but I can't find any info related to the crash. My questions 1) is there a way to interactively load the boot/loader.conf and rc.conf items during boot? 2) maybe you can tell me what I did wrong above? 3) without bectl baseline, I can't seem to boot into safe mode, single user, anything... help. Thanks, Will

Hi all, I have a FreeBSD installation in a partition on my laptop (besides Windows 11). The system just runs in a single ZFS pool: Code: root@elfreebsdo1:~ # zpool list NAME SIZE ALLOC FREE CKPOINT EXPANDSZ FRAG CAP DEDUP HEALTH ALTROOT root 816G 109G 707G - - 10% 13% 1.00x ONLINE - While having some problems, I noticed that I cannot make use of boot environments: Code: root@elfreebsdo1:~ # bectl list libbe_init("") failed. Is there any non-destructive operation, how I can enable boot environments in my system?
