Can't set up internet on my x86.

There's problem related to /etc/conf.d/net and /etc/init.d/net.lo0.

my /etc/conf.d/net file is:

Can anyone post /etc/conf.d/net file

That looks more like a FreeBSD question than anything to do with gentoo's portage overlay for freebsd. If you'd read the FreeBSD handbook you wouldn't be stuck like this...

Anyway, there are a couple of ways to set up networking:

1.

I'll try sysinstall.

DHCP isn't suported by my provider

Could you imagen this:

I had to change file /etc/init.d/net.lo0 name to /etc/init.d/net.rl0.

Now net is OK.

P.S.

Sysinstall didn't help

OT:
Isn't Gentoo/FreeBSD not expected to be configured like/similar to Gentoo/Linux? I thought that's the trick.
If I want sysinstall and configuring like FreeBSD I could also use FreeBSD itself.

Don't know I tried to setup Gentoo/FreeBSD and had 101+ problems

by default there was /etc/init.d/net.lo.

When I used real FreeBSD i had rl0 , so in my /etc/conf.d/net i tried:

eht0, rl0, lo, but it didn't help.

Then after reading /etc/init.d/net.lo script (i dont know python language yet) i had this crazy idea of renaming /etc/init.d/net.lo to /etc/init.d/net.rl0 - it worked

Somehow it worked

But I still had too many problems ralated to emerge ACPI ...........

So I Returned to Gnetoo Linux

I once had Gentoo/FreeBSD set up working. The guys at #gentoo-bsd helped me alot with that.

Your problem with the net-interface is to be expected. It's the same as on Gentoo/Linux. You need to have a symlink from net.lo -> net.eth0/.rl0 whatever your device is called. On Linux it's regulary eth0 for the first net-iface. net.eth0 is created per default on gentoo so for most people setting up /etc/conf.d/net
for eth0 just works. On FreeBSD the net-iface of my girlfriends notebook is sis0, not eth0 as on linux.So you have to tell the config to use it.

Whel Net Was The Smallest Problem On Gentoo/FreeBSD.

I Use Local Server ftp.linux.lv - it's unofitial gentoo and other linux mirror...

Usualy I have speed ~2 to 7 MBit/Sec, but with gentoo/FreeBSD I couldn't even connect to it.

I COuldn't emerge Xorg. System Hanged a lot of times when compilling. And After 2 Weeks of no results of making GUI I quit.

Maybee i'll try it next year.
I Got really interested with FreeBSD.

Oh and the lack of CD's just p***d me off.

I Used FreeBSD 6.1 CD's to make slices and the rest with FreeSBIE based on FreeBSD 7.

I Was horible. I think one of great thing in Gentoo/FreeBSD would be a install cd (like gentoo install cd), No GUI, just progs needet to install system.

I followed the guide on gentoo-wiki.com. I found it very usefull. I'm going to set up a new Gentoo/FreeBSd system this night or tomorrow.
I will see if I run into any complications like you

Maybe you want to give it another try. Just pop in #gentoo-bsd on freenode for help or this forums. I think the more testers the more bugs can be solved.
