how can I dual boot FreeBSD and Windows 10?

I used to think dual booting was good until I thought of the idea that the other operating system could theoretially mount the other partition and modify it

have anyone tried to run CDE on a FreeBSD guest under Qemu/KVM and libvirt? I made GLX work via VMVGA. When I fire up dtlogin the CDE session starts, but I have no mouse or keyboard. What am I missing?

more info paste.ubuntu.com/p/dg7yQWpdDv

the keyboard works when using the normal console

[808]state: i guess that depends on how much you trust the other party booting the other OS

voy4g3r2: i was using a very old AXIS PTZ, just as a test

lol---i managed to boot freebsd but lost the ability to boot Windows

I have a fresh FreeBSD without X

I'm very glad I managed to install emacs-nox and I have network! which is why Im here

Can I mount an NTFS partition on FreeBSD?

# mount -t ntfs /dev/nda0p3 /mnt

mount -t ntfs /dev/nda0p3 /mnt

mount: /dev/nda0p3: Invalid fstype: Invalid argument

gpart show gives me: 239616 554835023 3 ms-basic-data (265G)

so I thought it'd be nda0p3

My FreeBSD root is... ``Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/nda0p6 [rw]...'' (from dmesg)

Okay, I got some help here and discovered ntfs-3g. I can read my NTFS partition now. I can continue now. (Thanks to the GNU EMACS, I'm on IRC and reading the FreeBSD handbook on the web using eww.)

GNU EMACS---amazing software!

uh huh

yes, ntfs works fine, so long as you don't have bitlocker on

it seems crazy to me that nobody has come up with a tcpip stack that is fully impervious to SYN FLOOD attacks

GoSox: that's what TCP syncookies are for, see sysctl -d net.inet.tcp.syncookies_only

yeah but there are still drawbacks to that

thats what i'm going ot end up using and hopefully i can implement it in a way that will essnetially solve my problem

anyone here using virtualbox on a freebsd host?

i think i remember a new connection (vboxnet0 or something) being created and shown under ifconfig once vboxnet_enable="YES" was added to rc.conf. I'm not sure my network is set up correctly on the host side, and am having a disconnect problem on my client.

client works fine until i load up the connection via dowloading / streaming etc, and then dies.

dansa: have you tried booting directly from the disk? not just the (probable) EFI boot entry

jnewt: I have vboxnet_enable="YES" in rc.conf and vboxdrv_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf. Not sure exactly why, I did this a long time ago. But it works.

vkarlsen: I have the same. does your ifconfig show any additional interfaces, like vboxnet0, bridge0 or tun0 that may be related to virtualbox?

i only have lo0, em0 and em1, which are my loopback and two physical nics.

jnewt: Not currently, but I'm pretty sure it does once I start a vm

i give the client em0 as the nic for the bridged connection, but it seems like I had some other interface in there in the past.

mine never adds another interface, even with the vm running.

I have about 15 seconds of actual internet usage (beyond ping) and then the vm loses it's internet.

anything in the log? in the vm or on the host?

on the windows side i can see a bunch of dns server didn't respond and then a gateway not available. it retains the ip / gateway information recieved from the router

I don't have any logs in ~/VirtualBox VMs/myvmname/Logs, in fact, that Logs folder has not been updated for months (probably since the last time I actually had virtualbox running correctly. seems the logging has stopped.

i haven't used virtualbox in a long time, sorry
