True, and although it comes down to personal prefernce, I think the OS/2 boot manager is nicer (read prettier.) Also note that you can continue to use the OS/2 boot manager even if you no longer use OS/2. It works quite nicely on its own as a boot manager.

I've been running netbsd for a while and netbsd requires me to use the two flags link0 and link1 to get the interface up and running in ifconfig. But i couldn't get it up with freebsd, no matter what link-flags i put on. This was using freebsd-2.0.0.

Date: Mon, 12 Jun 1995 10:40:11 +0200 content-length: 0 Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hello all, this weekend, I installed 2.0.5-ALPHA on a no-name desktop system. It is running fine, no problems whatsoever. Nice work guys! I also wanted to upgrade my ThinkPad to 2.0.5-ALPHA. ThinkPads are a bit special since the keyboard is a ps/2 one, which means that the standard boot.flp/sysinstall won't work, the keyboard generates 'garbage'. Until now, I just compiled a kernel with pcvt and PCVT_SCANSET=2, and stuck it on the boot.flp. But this doesn't work anymore now that the 2.0.5A install uses a boot.flp with a compressed kernel and an embedded filesystem. I looked at the makefiles in /usr/src/release, but it seems to require a full srcdist, and I don't have enough room for that. Can someone compile such a kernel for me, or would it be possible to make a modified boot.flp available on freebsd.org (and/or on the 2.0.5R CD) ? With a small patch, pcvt would be able to recognise the ThinkPad keyboard automatically; would be nice to have it on the standard boot.flp for future releases (Jordan ?) Gert-Jan PS: one other thing: I put the distribs one after the other on a single tape, assuming/hoping that the install would use nrst0, or at least allow me to specify the device to use. It didn't :-( Would be nice to have that possibility in a future version of the install) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- J.G.

I have terminals in one city that need to talk to a mini-computer in another city. The mini-computer has NO internet access at all. I am planning on two freebsd machines, one with the terminals hooked up to it, and one with multiple serial ports connected to the mini-computers RS-232 lines. The shell script for each user would directly start up a TELNET process, and log them off when TELNET ends. They will not be doing ANYTHING else on the system. Once a connection is made, I need ALL characters to pass through from the terminal to the mini, and back, WITHOUT INTERPRETATION. How do I get the local process on the terminal side to ignore everything? I looked at setting the tty to non-canonical, and BRKINT, so that a BREAK could shut down the telnet process and log them off. Is this correct? On the machine by the mini, it appears that: 1. adding the line #define _PATH_LOGIN 'my-prog' 2. recompiling TELNETD with another output name 3. putting this new program in /etc/services on an unused port 4. specifying the new port to TELNET on the terminal machine would let me get from a terminal to the pty created by TELNETD. Is this correct? 'my_prog' would be a program that looks for the first available serial port, and then connects serial-in to pty-out and serial-out to pty-in. Is there an existing program that might do this? or that I could use code from? Again, I need ALL characters to go thru as is. Thanks in advance for your help. I am just getting started in freebsd, it is just starting to make sense, and that scares me a little.

The computer is 486DX2/66 VLB with 3.5 floppy drive, Mitsumi 2X CD-ROM drive and Iomega Tape 250 backup (QIC-80). I haven't used the CD-ROM drive yet but it seems to initialize okay. However, I was not able to get the tape backup to work. It is found during the startup process but is not accessible after that. I believe, because of absense of the second floppy drive, I have to change some kernel settingsl and recompile. Correct me if I'm wrong. Now, I'm planning to install 2.0.5R on this system. Can anyone tell me for sure if this tape drive is supported right out-of-the-box without any modifications. Otherwise, it would, probably, make sense to get just the source code and play with it. This is highly undesirable because I do not have time for that. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. -serge From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jun 12 08:22:52 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id IAA22350 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 12 Jun 1995 08:22:52 -0700 Received: from hal.eng.ufl.edu (hal.eng.ufl.edu [128.227.100.50]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id IAA22336 for ; Mon, 12 Jun 1995 08:22:51 -0700 Received: (from kcw@localhost) by hal.eng.ufl.edu (8.6.9/8.6.9) id KAA01910 for questions@freebsd.org; Mon, 12 Jun 1995 10:34:19 -0400 From: Ken Whedbee Message-Id: <199506121434.KAA01910@hal.eng.ufl.edu> Subject: Looking for 28.8 Supra modem init string for ppp To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Mon, 12 Jun 1995 10:34:18 -0400 (EDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 219 Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Anybody have a modem init string for a 28.8 SupraFAXmodem for use with ppp ?

Does anyone know of any obvious problems (better yet solutions to this) that may be causing this ...

However, the computer doesn't seem to be "beeping." For example, Ctrl-G in irc sessions doesn't generate the "beep sound."

Dean ROOT To: FreeBSD@cdrom.com, Xfree86@cdrom.com Subject: IPX/SPX mounting in FreeBSD 2.0R I have several servers, and systems running various operating systems. I love the ability of FreeBSD to mount to several of these weird systems. Unfortunately, I have not been able to figure out one thing, so I am asking for help. I am running a 486DX50 with a MSDOS partition and a FreeBSD partition. I spend most of my day in unix. Sometimes I will be asked to change a password on a Novell NetWare Server 3.21. I am then forced to reboot my system, and utilize the MSDOS partition just so that I can execute "LSL, SMC8000, IPXODI, & NETX" to mount a netware drive. If their is a way that I can mount a Netware drive in FreeBSD, I would be able to skip this lengthly process. My system has XFree86, and a copy of PCEMU (The unsupported MSDOS emulator.) I am not able to run those drivers in this program. I have attempted to contact the original programmer of pcemu, but have had no luck. I am asking if anyone can point me in the correct direction to either mount an ipx/spx Netware drive in FreeBSD, or where to find a MSDOS emulation program that may have more capability in the aspects of networking than pcemu. If anyone has actually been able to mount netware drives in any way in FreeBSD, I would love to learn how I can do the same thing. I would appreciate ANY help... Jeffrey D.

FreeBSD can mount Novell partitions, but only if you have the NFS NLM loaded on the servers :-( There is experimental IPX support available if you ask the right people (I believe I have it in my inbox somewhere), but for routing only. Mounting Novell volumes is REALLY nasty, as I'm not sure if the entire negotiation sequence is published anywhere, and if it is, how easy it would be to adapt to *BSD usage. However, mounting the volumes isn't the problem - if I remember right the entire password thing is done through special packet types :-( Gary From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jun 12 12:31:33 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id MAA15490 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 12 Jun 1995 12:31:33 -0700 Received: from cs.weber.edu (cs.weber.edu [137.190.16.16]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with SMTP id MAA15484 for ; Mon, 12 Jun 1995 12:31:31 -0700 Received: by cs.weber.edu (4.1/SMI-4.1.1) id AA21640; Mon, 12 Jun 95 13:24:42 MDT From: terry@cs.weber.edu (Terry Lambert) Message-Id: <9506121924.AA21640@cs.weber.edu> Subject: Re: AAArgh!

Here is how I solved my problem: I booted DOS, did an "fdisk/mbr" to remove the boot code that was on the disk. Booted OS/2, deleted my FreeBSD slice (it was taking up the whole disk), installed the OS/2 boot manager. Booted the FreeBSD install disk, re-created my FreeBSD slice (original size - 2MB that the boot manager stole) up to the point where I have to reboot to continue the installation. Re-Booted OS/2, added the FreeBSD partition to the OS/2 boot manager. Rebooted the machine and t works fine since then. No more fuss about BIOS and controller matching etc... Now the next issue to resolve is to find out if using the OS/2 boot manager requires me to buy an OS/2 license. I would like to thank Julian Elischer for all the good will, tricks and tips he's provided me with. My original question was: > Hello, > > I am a new freebsd user and I have encountered a real weird problem. > > I created a bootable floppy (boot_144.flp), booted it and used sysinstall > to create proper slices, partitions, etc.... wrote MBR and boot code and label. > > At this point I was asked to remove the floppy and boot from the HD (IDE > 1.25GB on a P75 Packard Bell system, PCI bus.)

I have to reformat the whole hard disk. When I used the DOS scandisk to scan the hard disk, it found one bad cluster. In DOS, it marks a bad cluster so that DOS doesn't write to that cluster. But, when I reinstall FreeBSD 2.0, the file system is panic and immediately crashes. Would you give me some advice on how to avoid that bad cluster so that FreeBSD doesn't use any bad cluster? Could that bad cluster be some kind of virus program? Please advise. Thanks a lot.

Date: Mon, 12 Jun 1995 16:37:11 -0700 From: "Mike O'Brien" Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I'm considering installing an ISDN connection, and I'm trying to figure out which of the two methods usually used in the U.S. would be better: an ISDN 'modem' that connects to a serial port, or something like the Ascend Pipeline 50 HX, which connects to an Ethernet interface. Now, if I were back in the minicomputer world this would be a no-brainer. Character interfaces are interrupt-per-character, at least potentially, though of course with a 16550 silo, things aren't nearly this bad. Ethernet interfaces are DMA devices, resulting in a much lower load on the CPU. This, though, is the PC world. I am quite prepared to believe that due to vicious cost-cutting measures and generally brain-dead design, this MIGHT not be true. So, I'm asking for the REAL answer: which is the better type of interface to go with? And, if it's Ethernet, what are the more satisfactory types of Ethernet interface to use? I know I've seen a lot of traffic about the 3C509, but whether that's because it's the most popular, or because it's the most brain-dead, I don't know. Opinions, please?

If you can afford it, go for the Ascend. They are wonderful boxes, and being totally OS independant is a big plus. Plus they make great router's for network <---> isdn with no extra software required. No i don't work for ascend.

(486,16Mb RAM 256k cache, IDE 320 Mb, SMC8013E, Mach32 GUP, all ISA). This hardware has been running 1.1 ever since it was released. I installed the one from the packages-2.0 directory but that would not work. I ftp'd 3.6.2 from my nearest gnu archive and compiled that and got the same overall result but with some strangeness. It would seem that when I execute it suid-root it doesn't work. Executing it as a normal user, seems to work (some problem with terminal emulation still). I pkg_delete'd the original screen package so I don't *think* there are any screenrc type files sitting around. Overall FreeBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE has been great. It is not quite as solid as 1.1.5.1 (I get weird reboots when running X), but the disk seems to be a lot less busy and I don't have any of these weird pauses I used to get with 1.1.5.1. X also starts a lot faster. I really can't appreciate all the software technology behind this (such as UBC), is there a book ?

(I'm waiting until 2.1cdrom to upgrade if possible) The connection (and box, a 486dx2/80, 16MB, 28800baud...) have been very reliable. However, have a few minutes of using pppd for connection to a cisco router, the system panics... at the pppd process. (pagefault error I think... I can get more detail if necessary...) My question is this: Is this a know problem with 2.0 that is fixed in 2.0.5? To get pppd running, I recompiled the kernel with the pseudo-device ppp 1 line in the new config file. That was the only change. I did a manual connection with cu (at 115200 speed) and got in just fine. Suspended the cu connect, and with the options file containing crtscts modem passive domain xxx.xxx defaultroute the connect worked. I didn't set the noipdefault... I currently have a static ip. I could ping, telnet and ftp just fine with this. But, after a bit of ftp, or sending a X-client to display at my PC, I got the panic. Ideas? (I can give more detail if necessary...)

My question is this: > Is this a know problem with 2.0 that is fixed in 2.0.5? I had the same problem. Upgrading to 2.0.5 fixed the problem. Highly recommended since the user-land PPP implementation is really nice. It's worth it just for dial-on demand. I almost like using a dial-up now :-) Once thing I would like though is the ability to cycle through more than one phone number on a retry. .i.e. try a number, if it fails, try the next one and so on until you cycle through all supplied alternatives then start again. Anyone know the code well enough to go do this easily? -- Paul Richards, Bluebird Computer Systems. FreeBSD core team member.

I have been asking questions for the last month - I really need some help here! I have a machine that sits on the internet using an ISDN connection. I have checked the router; the machine is accessible from the outside world. Try it gandalf.otdc.com - I am even able to telnet to port 25. I have checked the MX records and do not see any problem. So, it has to be something with FreeBSD. I have a Linux box sitting right next to this one and do not have any problems with the Linux box. One thing that is different between the two platforms: when I execute hostname on the Linux box it only gives the hostname without the domain. (i.e. gandalf) However, on the FreeBSD machine it gives the FQDN (i.e. gandalf.otdc.com). Now, on the Linux box when I execute domainname I get the domain and on FreeBSD I get nothing. Is anyone out there using FreeBSD to recieve mail? I am running the latest version released by Walnut Creek. I need some place to look! HELP!

I had a little bit of adjustment with the new install interface, but overall it was quite nice. I especially liked the ability to retry ftping!!! (Thanks for listening Jordan). My questions are about disklabel and boot code. I have a pretty oddball system, with 1 IDE drive and 2 SCSI-2 drives. FreeBSD owns the 2 SCSI-2 drives, and DOS/Windows/OS/2 owns the IDE drive. I always have to write out new boot code so I don't have to type that annoying hd(1,a)/kernel all the dang time. In the past, I did this by rebuilding sysinstall after hacking the bootblock code and then using that because disklabel complained about the label that sysinstall installed and wouldn't let me write out boot code. I couldn't do this with sysinstall this time, since the writing of bootblocks requires committing an install of FreeBSD, or some package. That is, that's the only way I could see it get done. So I went back to disklabel, and found it was complaining that the size of the superblock in the label was 0. Now, since sysinstall installed the label, I'm assuming that this is a problem with sysinstall. Either that, or the superblock error should be a warning. I turned off the check temporarily so I could install new bootcode with hd(1,a)/kernel as my default response. This worked fine. So now for my questions. Is sysinstall installing a broken label? Or is disklabel being overly concerned about the superblock being size 0?

This is a PCI but mastering ethernet controller. When booting, the devices ed0 and ed1 are not found at the normal IO addresses. This is not realy surprising, since I do not think that the proper driver is loaded. For that matter, I have no idea what a Unix device driver even looks like. I've had a good bit of experience with configuring things under most other PC operation systems, most often OS/2, but know little of Unix. I can use Unix as a not very sophisticated user, but have no experience as a Unix system administrator. As you can probably tell by know, this is presenting a certain amount difficulty.... I think I have a handle on the software configuration. At least, I've found the hosts file, and the aliases file, and most of the other configuration files that are familiar to me from OS/2. Any and all help will be appreciated.

The disk is an HP 97548S (630MB SCSI), which was originally partitioned and labeled under 2.0-RELEASE. While installing 2.0.5, I removed the old partition and let sysinstall create a new partition and label. The partition and label look good to me - but something is wrong, because df reports the wrong number of blocks. The partition table, disklabel, and df output are reproduced at the end of this message. I've got an identical disk that was partitioned and labeled under 2.0-950322-SNAP that reports the correct size. All of the other disks that sysinstall sliced and labeled are working correctly (sd0=maxtor 7213s, sd1=fujitsu mk2324, sd2=cdc94171-327, sd3/4=hp97548s). I'm not quite sure that I understand the new slice code. If I want to manually create the slices using fdisk, and then label the disk, what device names do I use? I didn't find this information in the current FAQs - I know there's and older FAQ that covers this, but it's out of date and doesn't cover the new slice code. The man pages were also of little help. I've been using 'fdisk {-i|-u} /dev/sd?d' and 'disklabel -e sd?'. Is this right? Another interesting thing that I noticed is that the cylinder count as reported by fdisk isn't what I specified - it's supposed to be 633. Is there a cookbook procedure someplace that shows the process from fdisk to newfs? It doesn't seem like it should be that much different from 2.0, but it's got me stumped.

The mb_map doesn't deal with the disks, they are network buffers. On busy nets this option needs to be increased. We have about 20 unix hosts, 4 novell servers, and miscellaneous pcs and 1024 wasn't enough for our net--2048 worked adequately. Each buffer takes up 1k I believe, I think the default configuration will use 512 buffers. You can use netstat -m to see how many buffers are currently in use and the number of requests that were denied (along with other information). If there are any denied requests, you should increase the number of NMBCLUSTERS. Your hard disk is probably fine. If you run out of the buffers it will cause a variety of problems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- College of Arts & Sciences Computing Services John A.

With the 2.0.5 my passwords are the 20 character encrypted passwords, and with the secure dist they are the short 13 character DES encrypted passwords. When I saw that the DES encrypted passwords the the short 13 character, I thought perhaps I was using DES on my other machines, but I have no libcrypt libraries at all on my other machines. I then compaired some Makefiles from the two versions and noticed that 2.0.5 doesn't check to see if there is a libcrypt.a, it just puts a -lcrypt in regardless. I've experimented and can't find the configuration that is compatible with my current password encryption. Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah, it's running the xterm 'resize' command (seperate binary that comes with xterm), repositioning the cursor to 999/999, and reading the cursor position, and your xterm isn't sending the report back correctly. Probably you're not running it in an xterm. > Problem #2: > ============================================================================== > I have also tried to issue the "iowin" command to place program output into > a separate window.

I have so many different questions, I guess that I don't know where to start... I guess the best place is to explain what I want to do and perhaps one of your Tech Guru's can advise me. At present, I run a BBS by Galacticomm one of the add-on's is the Internet Connectivity option (ICO) which allows Telenet, FTP, Finger, DNS, and soon will include SMTP, NNTP and rlogin. My problem is that all of my users want WWW and with this ICO only this is not possible. Some of the other Sysop's in my position have found a solution by allowing the customer to Telnet to a second box running unix and a program called TIA which will allow customers to then use NetScape etc. What I want to know is if A) Will TIA run on FreeBSD 2.0 (I know that it runs on BSDI 1.1). B) To do this do I even need TIA can I assign each user an address for there winsocket stack and have them up and going? C) Will Lynx (from Ukansas) run on FreeBSD 2.0 (This is for users of older PC's 286 or older). D) Is there any documentation that is printed on FreeBSD 2.0 that I can buy? E) If all this is possible, can it be made possible that the user will not require a login ie the unix box detects that the user is from the BBS and just puts up either a menu or TIA etc. Any help will be greatly accepted when it comes to Unix, I don't have very much experience to fall back on. If what I am tring to explain is unclear and you wish to phone to clairfy the questions I can be reached at 1-800-469-7774. I thank you in advance for any assistance you can give me.

This in order to use the new slice scheme. I can't believe that! Is there no way to upgrade my system without losing all my data? Is this new slice scheme necessary? Is there a dirty trick to avoid formating the disk? (e.g. doing only a sort of disklabel.). It seems that the bounds of the partitions are counted from the beginning of the slice and no more from the beginning of the disk. Some precisions: I have a 486 DX/2 66 with PCI bus and FreeBSD is installed on my second hard disk (a 520 Mb).

The two are completely separate i.e. you can treat it as though it's just a PCnet ethernet chip. The lnc0 driver should work fine if you can point it at the right locations i.e. int no and i/o address.

I have issued the "find" command to look for this program anywhere on my machine with no luck. I de-installed the package with pkg-manage and reinstalled it. Still no program. I think that the program is missing in the xxgdb package that I obtained from the ftp.cdrom.com site. Is this something that needs to be fixed in the packaging? I found some source code for the package at ftp.cdrom.com, downloaded it and tried to "make" it, but with no success. There is no make file, only an Imakefile. I investigated enough to get a makefile built with "imake", but the makefile produced does not build the xxgdbiowin program (whose source code is in the distribution). I compiled xxgdbiowin by hand and the program will start but will not talk to xxgdb which still hangs. The xxgdb that gets produced by running a make against the built makefile will not run at all. It shows an x-window being started and then terminates. I don't think that the makefile was produced properly. Anything else I can try?

I use Kern-Developer and 3.5" diskettes (each diskettes has 6 files on it) options to do installation. After I specified all the options and started to load FreeBSD, the first message I got was "Warning: You have selected a Read-only root device and may be unable to find the appropriate device entries on it if it is from an older pre-slice version of FreeBSD". What I could do at this point was to hit enter to go to the next step. The system started to load from diskette "boot.flp" and rest of them. It seemed OK but when the system asked me to put in file bin\bin.as (started with file bin\bin.as to bin\bin.ax) which in my case is diskette 4. I put in and hit enter. After reading about 3 second, the system prompted me a message "Write failure on transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 10240 bytes)". I could skip this diskette (I can choose to load it later) and could load next disketts. I tried to reformat the diskette and downloaded all the files again and tried to use brand new diskette, formated it first and downloaded the files and reinstalled FreeBSD but I stucked at the same place and got the same message. Does anyone out there know why? Thanks in advance.

Here is the problem: I am able to partition my drive the way I like it, but not assign and mount point or swap area to my 2 partitions. When I press A)ssign, I choose my partition letter, then enter in my responce. For partition 'a', I enter / as my mount point, for partition 'b', swap is automatically entered as the partition name. I then press W)rite, my drive activity light flashes, and I am able to Q)uit to reboot or go on to P)rocede. I have tried rebooting and then P)roceding, and simply P)roceding, and in both cases my partition names are not present. I think because of this I get a failure during the install. In my frustration, I didn't think to write down the error code. After I get the failure code, my machine re-boots. I am assigning 400mb of the 831mb partition (see below) to BSD4.4; partition a:380mb = BSD4.4, partition b:20mb = swap. Here is my machine configuration: 386/33, AMI bios, a:1.44mb, b:1.2mb, c:Micropolis 2716 1.75Gb(single partition) ide hdu, buslogic 410? ISA cacheing controler w/2mb ram, d: first partion (2gb) of Micropolis 1936 SCSI(external), e: second partion (831 mb) of M1936, Tosh. 3401b CD (internal), Adaptec 1510 SCSI controler(no boot bios), 8mb ram, and zoom 14.4 modem. I am confident the SCSI devices are all properly terminated. My machine runs perfectly (configuration wise) under DOS. I have windows 3.1 installed and NT Workstation 3.5 (but using FAT16 file system throughout). Thanks for any help you can offer. Condescend as much as you like, I am very new to this.

However, the the driver, ep, is known to have problems. Which is probably why I can't get mine to work. I have reconfigured the kernel to find the card and it does that and reads the settings (that is, the card type and ethernet address) at boot time. And, "ifconfig ep0" shows the correct information. But, no packets are ever sent out nor received (ping doesn't work).... I have a 3c579 card to try, will that work? Around here there are no other cards available. Does anyone have any ideas?? Could you point me toward some FAQ or the location of an updated driver??

TIA operates as a socket proxy. Basically, this means that you don't assign an address, that instead remote hosts believe that it is the host running TIA that is making the connection. One problem you might have with a Winsock scenario is that I assume these people are going to come into your BBS and then go through the ICO to the BSD box, login, get a prompt, and fire up the connection. I don't believe that standard WFWG Winsock support is capable of a "chat" this sophisticated, nor is it capable (by nature of the comm driver interface) of taking over after a user has done the same. The point of TIA and similar packages is that you replace your winsock with something else. I would personally try the public domain equivalents (SLuRP, etc.) before investing in that much TIA stuff. > C) Will Lynx (from Ukansas) run on FreeBSD 2.0 (This is for users of > older PC's 286 or older).

There are the O'Reilly 4.4BSD books; FreeBSD 2.0 is based very much on BSD4.4 and most everything is the same. The O'Reilly (and other publisher's) sysadmin guides that deal with BSD are all particularly applicable, as are DNS and BIND guides, sendmail guides, etc., etc.. Basically, at least 1/3 of the existing UNIX literature is directly applicable to FreeBSD, and the other 2/3 are generally applicable. Even the Linux-specific books (like "The Linux Bible") are mostly applicable. 8-). There are also online documents in sgml which can be formated for LaTeX and printed, or simply referenced online via WWW browser at www.freebsd.org. There was talk at one time about someone who wrote an admin guide specifically for FreeBSD. I'm sorry, but I don't have the reference right now. > E) If all this is possible, can it be made possible that the user > will not require a login ie the unix box detects that the user is > from the BBS and just puts up either a menu or TIA etc. This is possible, though to get the tty modes correct, probably it wants to be integrated into telnetd. A menu is possible, no problem, though you may need to run it in the pty program (as opposed to just "pty" the device, it's a public domain program for accessing pty's) to get the terminal modes, etc. correct. You could use either a shell script or a binary image on a particular inetd port to do the work for you (modify /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf to add your own service). You will probably want to turn on wrappers if you don't have a firewall set up to protect this service from access by any location other than the BBS ICO. > Any help will be greatly accepted when it comes to Unix, I don't have > very much experience to fall back on.

When you get this up and running, assuming you would not consider it to be competing with you, it would be appreciated if you could "dump" the information on your setup so that others elsewhere could duplicate it with little effort, making it a general feature of FreeBSD, if it is installed.

The correct command, if you have the x directories, etc. installed, is xmkmf, which runs imake with a knowledge of your installed image paths. This should result in a working makefile. It is possible that the program is missing or unimplemented in the xxgdb distribution itself. If so, BSD won't have it either. 8-). If it is at the xxgdb repository site, but not in the FreeBSD package, then it's a proken package, and you need to report it to Satoshi on the ports@freebsd.org list (I think that's the one -- it's confusingly named). > The xxgdb that gets produced by running a make against the built makefile > will not run at all.

Potentially, It's an X11R5 application and the use of X11R6 headers and libraries has puked it out. > Anything else I can try? Look for an xxgdbiowin target in the imakefile, If it isn't there, you are starting with the wrong source base. If it is there, unless there is an API discrepancy between X11R5 and X11R6 that is affecting you, the command 'xmkmf -a' should result in a buildable tree (the '-a' option causes it to recursively descend, building makefiles from imakefiles).

It is an old 486-33 with 1991 AMI BIOS. 4Mb RAM and 82Mb IDE HD. I choose the whole disk for a FreeBSD slice and set up 3 partitions: /, /usr, and swap. I get through the install screen and choose commit and things start off really well. The partitions are made and mounted (I think) and then the install starts to copy the root floppy to the HD. Then I start having problems. Sometimes I get to the binary disks, and sometimes I don't but I always get the same error: My machine freezes completely. The FD light is on and if the HD light was on when the machine froze, it stays on, too. I cannot type anything to the debug or emergency holographic shell and only a hard reboot will get me going again. I get no different output with or without the debugging facilities turned on/off. Symptoms: If I am in the debug screen, I am getting the .... printed to my screen and then nothing. If I go to some other screen and come back, it is full of messages like: fdc0: cmd 3 failed at out byte 1 of 3 fdc0: direction bit not set fdc0: cmd 7 failed at out byte 1 of 2 fdc0: direction bit not set fdc0: cmd 3 failed at out byte 1 of 3 : . fdc0: too many errors, not logging any more The only other thing of notice is that at the very beginning before the swap space has been created, I get the following two messages: Process 12 killed by vm_pageout -- out of swap Process 27 killed by vm_pageout -- out of swap I must use the floppy install because my home machine does not have a CDROM or connection to the Internet (I have no phone).

(similar to linux?) Install the kernel sources in /usr/src/sys, cd to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf. The default kernel config file is GENERIC - you can copy this to another file and modify it to match your hardware. The LINT kernel config has pretty much all of the options available. After you have edited your kernel config, do the following: # config # cd ../../compile/ # make depend # make # make install Reboot to activate your new kernel. > Concerning the BSD CD-rom, would you please tell me what includes > in the disc.

This in order to use the new slice scheme. No and yes The New slice code interprets the same 'on-disk' information but presents it to the user differently. Your old partitions can be kept, and unless you specify 'NEWFS' in the install procedure, against each of them, they WILL be kept. Having said that, there are advantages to rebuilding the filesystems as some optimisations have been added... You can re-install on just root and usr, and leave the other partitions alone, then re-zap them later on one at a time to get the newer file-system layouts.. > > I can't believe that!

I have systems running 2.0.5 Alpha on filesystems that were layed out and partitionned under 386BSD. :) (I believe I may have Newfs'd them under FreeBSD some time) It's suboptimal to leave them, but not bad. > > Is there a dirty trick to avoid formating the disk?

When we boot from the boot floppy, it goes to the point where it prints: "Changing root device to fd0c" After that it just stops, doing nothing. We have tried interchanging A: and B: drives, and tried to boot with 1.2MB disk also. In both cases it goes to the same point and just stops. We have also tried disabling unwanted devices. The result is the same. Following are some of the messages the kernel prints before hanging: ahc0:274x Twin channel-ignoring channel B, 4SCBs ahc0:WARNING no command for scb0 (cmdcmplt) pas0 not probed due to I/O address conflict with ahc0 at 0x1f88 epprobe: interrupt number 1024 doesn't match Once it also hanged on CD-ROM after printing: ahc0:targ3 lun0: instead of normally printing ahc0:targ3 lun0: and going ahead till the "changing root device...." message. Does anyone know what the problem might be? The files on troubleshooting etc don't mention reasons for any such problem?

I don't believe the 590 is supported. (this is the PCI variant of the Etherlink III series) The 509 and I think 579 are supported through the ep driver, and I think the 589 is supported through some other driver, though. Your best bet for a PCI ethernet card is probably to buy an SMC card. They are supported. If anyone knows anything different about 3c590 support, please feel free to correct me...

Now I suppose that I could just set up a serial PPP session and do pretty much the same thing but I was just wondering if I could connect via the LAN cards.
