(Quote) Thanks, just did a quick check, and it's working fine.
-
OpenBSD 7.9
-
(Quote) Basically * boot into an Alpine image via netboot (or something similar) * write the NetBSD image to the disk and reboot * in the NetBSD boot loader, interrupt it, set the vesa mode to something like 0x101 (vesa 0x101) and boot into NetBSD …

Just noticing now: descr: Route64-Europe so the IPv6 addresses use some third-party tunneling provider? I guess that's why I am seeing significant worse pings (and packet loss) when using IPv6?
-
(Quote) Ok, managed to get something working now by using the link-local address of the router (which I got by pinging ff02::2) - although even with that I can only reach a small subset of the outside IPv6 world. (btw, this is on the Roubaix, FR loc…
-
So installed NetBSD on a small VPS (128 MB RAM and 1 GB disk) by writing the disk image from a netboot.xyz booted Alpine. Can't get IPv6 working with NetBSD. The web interface tells me to use something like "2001:0db8:1234:5678::1" as the…
-
(Quote) That's the change you want to apply. (Quote) resize_ffs doesn't grow the journal, so that's then smaller than it should be, and ideally you should recreate it. Unfortunately, that process is a bit complicated for the root file system. The g…
-
(Quote) Actually, updated that 11.0 RC4 image (@linveo) now to fix the postfix config issue in RC4. The image now also creates the swap partition on first boot (depending on system memory and disk space).
-
(Quote) Not seeing OpenBSD on linveo now. TierHive have OpenBSD.
-
(Quote) Feel free to start with the scripts I have on https://bitbucket.org/cmeerw/netbsd-cloud-image/ (btw, I am also creating raw images with smaller swap here, but maybe I should do something like dynamically creating swap on first boot) There a…
-
(Quote) The images currently have a fixed-size 512 MB swap partition (which I think is fine for somewhat larger VPSes) - maybe I should get rid of that or create it on first boot. The NetBSD root partition is actually just 512 MB.
-
(Quote) If you write the image from inside the VM, you wouldn't want to write the qcow2 image (you'll want a raw image for that). I do have a small Lua script for NetBSD that does the cloud-init configuration (from the CIDATA CDROM). But last time …
-
(Quote) My experience with OpenBSD wasn't that good, see https://lowendspirit.com/discussion/comment/216354/#Comment_216354 NetBSD is also very good in strictly following POSIX APIs, e.g., in https://man.netbsd.org/ctype.3 (Quote) Yes, that can be…

@linveo I have created a NetBSD 11.0 RC4 image
-
Now upgraded to 11.0 RC4: NetBSD hlcs 11.0_RC4 NetBSD 11.0_RC4 (GENERIC) #0: Tue May 12 04:23:51 UTC 2026 [email protected]:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC amd64
-
Looks like NetBSD 11.0 RC4 is on its way... https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/
-
(Quote) I am noticing a lot of requests claiming to be modern browsers (based on the user agent), but who only support HTTP/1.1.
-
(Quote) IIRC, I used netboot xyz (manually configuring the network interface as I didn't have DHCP enabled) to boot into a live Alpine Linux system which I only used to write the NetBSD image to the disk. Then boot from the disk (but I think you hav…
-
(Quote) Getting NetBSD running on TierHive isn't as straightforward as I had hoped (when I tried). I had to fiddle with the VESA modes in the boot loader to get any display output (and, of course, you first have to write the NetBSD image to the disk…
-
(Quote) Yes, in qemu/KVM, but there is also this fine @Hosteroid MetalVPS server currently running NetBSD 11.0 RC3.
-
NetBSD 11.0 RC3 has now appeared on https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/ @linveo here is the 11.0 RC3 qcow2 image
-
Another set of fixes were pulled into the 11 branch yesterday: NetBSD hlcs 11.0_RC3 NetBSD 11.0_RC3 (GENERIC) #0: Fri Apr 3 13:58:15 UTC 2026 [email protected]:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC amd64
-
(Quote) Maybe this one? https://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-users/2026/03/09/msg033988.html
-
(Quote) But then you can use that config for decades. I am using fvwm3 with my fvwm2 config I put together 25 years ago.

Does groff count as office software?
-
/r/linux/: I traced $2 billion in nonprofit grants and 45 states of lobbying records to figure out who's behind the age verification bills. The answer involves a company that profits from your data writing laws that collect more of it. /r/linux/: I…
-
(Quote) What's the best way to take a backup and restore from that backup? Currently, I think I'd have to boot into a recovery system and manually copy the disk (image) to a remote system. Then when restoring, I'd have to install something, boot int…
-
(Quote) Something is not quite right yet. I have installed (twice now) from what shows as "NetBSD 11 RC2 Minimum", but that still gives me 11.0 RC1. I have double-checked that the RC2 image was downloaded from my server, and that that imag…
-
Jails for NetBSD looks like a really interesting project - something I'll likely have a closer look at soon.
-
NetBSD 11.0 RC2 has appeared, so there is now a NetBSD 11.0 RC2 image @linveo
-
(Quote) Just to make sure I did a quick test with my VPS, and it's working as expected. I don't think it's the Intel issue at this point, as that would only affect the NetBSD boot after installation has finished.
-
(Quote) Not sure where exactly it's stuck there, but it's likely something in VirtFusion still. Maybe you could have just retried?
-
(Quote) Where does it say age verification?
-
Instead of offers that are less than $15/year, I'd rather like to see excellent value for money offers (that are still low-endish), so maybe max. $30/year, but with minimum GB RAM and GB disk per $.
-
(Quote) Thanks, worked absolutely fine.
-
(Quote) I am afraid there are no updates here - probably no one else has seen that.
-
In the other thread you say: (Quote) But, NetBSD is missing... Any chance/interest in adding that?
