The Mac is running MacTCP 2.0.6, and I've done the following: o Turned on networking in the Chooser o Selected Ether* (either Ethernet or Ethertalk, it makes no difference to the symptoms) in MacTCP. o Given the Mac the IP address 194.159.66.51. o Set the gateway address to 0.0.0.0 o Set the two domains for the Mac as blueberry.co.uk 194.159.66.50 (default) . 194.159.66.50 o Rebooted Attempts to connect to the FreeBSD box (using NCSA Telnet for the Mac) just sit there. I'm about to post this off to comp.sys.mac.comm, as the steps above come straight from their FAQ, but I recall someone mentioning in here that they had Macs connected to FreeBSD boxes, so I thought I'd check here as well. And an advance heads up for those that know PPP well. I'm about (in the next three or four hours) to post a draft iijppp FAQ to faq@freebsd.org. I'd appreciate anyone who knows PPP giving it the critical eye.

I tried what you suggested and it worked ... sort of. Situation: I removed the power cord from scsi disk one and booted up and the bootmgr successfully saw both disks: IDE and (normally the second) scsi disk. So I plugged scsi disk 1 back in (power cord) , rebooted the machine and noticed that the bootmgr only displayed one function choice again (F1: dos). Just for grins I decided to choose F5 and the bootmgr showed me the second disk boot option (F1: freebsd). So I decided to swap the scsi disk's device ids (so scsi disk 1 became scsi disk 2 and vice versa) and reinstalled FreeBSD. Now the bootmgr stills displays only one option (F1: dos) but I can still access FreeBSD by choosing F5. However, when freeBSD boots it gets to the point where it attempts to mount root and it says: . . changing root device to sd1a PANIC: Unable to mount root. . . Well of course it can't mount root from sd1a as I did not install any mount points to that partition. What I did when installing: I went into the partition editor and picked sd0. I used the entire disk and set it bootable. I did nothing else with either the IDE disk or scsi disk 2 via the partition editor. I went to the partition label tool next and noticed that it only displayed my sd0 as available to label (which made sense to me since the other two disks I didn't identify as available). I divided the disk: / ....... 80M (swap) .. 80M /usr .... 652M Then I installed (committed) selecting the bootmgr (booteasy) option. Question: Why did the system want to use sd1a when I didn't create any partitions on that disk (scsi disk 2), or label? Do I have to somehow associate DOS as the owner of the other partitions on IDE disk and scsi disk 2, before I install?

My guess is that your BIOS only supports two harddisks, so you're not going to be able to boot off the third disk. Swap disks 2 & 3 and see if DOS still sees the DOS SCSI disk. > Question: Is there a simple way for me to tell the bootmgr > about this second bootable drive? The bootmanager asks the BIOS, AFAIK.

I had a few really good answers. One was using telnetd which I found quite effective. But, I unfortunately have not been smart enough to actually mount a netware drive. I can connect to my FreeBSD machine using Windows for Workgroups, and pcnfs. It must be possible to connect a NETWARE drive to a FreeBSD machine. I previously received a message from a very contributable gentleman who explained to me a few things in the working that may help. I received no response however when answering his reply. If anyone can help me get the code to start working in such a project, it would be greatly appreciated twice over. Any hints, comments, or suggestions could lower my work-hours considerably. root@jd-unix.wpafb.af.mil Jeffrey D.

This behaviour is different from what I experience using Linux as a server. I have temporarily overcome the problem by modifying pcnfsd and returning a fake uid (0) once the client has authenticated properly; but this is not completely satisfactorily. If that matters, requests coming from the client use pcnfsd v.1 protocol. Any explainations, and possible fixes (I think the problem has to do with mountd).

I have, matter of fact it was my job to get our Sparc's (Development Network) talking to the existing Novell network. I talked to the Novell manager and she said, "No problem I see Novell has TCP/IP and NFS as add on NLM's". I'm no Novell junkie so don't ask specifics. I do know that it cost several K$ for the software and quite a bit more to have a guy come out once a week to rebuild the Novell server after a transfer(5-50megs) from our network to the Novell file-server clobbered the damn thing. (excuse my French, it's not random cursing, it's emphisis) (The following is second hand, take it FWIW) Turned out that somehow the NFS NLM was allocating space in other NLM's space for buffers and thus writing trash all over their code & data. I heard that it MIGHT be fixed in the next relase and until then you need to allocate something like 4-8MB of buffer space for NFS on the server. (32Meg machine serving 100 users over ARCNET) (Thats all I needed to know about Novell) I turned to a company called Puzzle Systems who had Novell Client software for Suns. It worked. They might have something of interest for you.

If you look at 'man adduser' in 2.0.5 (you didn't say what you were using) the very first paragraph lists the potentials of each user being a unique ("UNIQ" in the page) group. It basically says that you can then not have to worry about others in their group having access to their files unwittingly. Whether you agree with this or not, I'd say this indicates it's a feature, not a bug.

AT-like PCs use a keyboard interrupt (I think is A20, though not sure) to address RAM above ~1 MB, so FreeBSD (nor any other OS) should not be able to work without a keyboard. Maybe this is no longer true for some PCs, but I have not seen it. However, many newer PCs handle much better all this. ------------------------------------------------- Carlos Amengual, amengual@prades.cesca.es Sociedad Astronomica de Espana y America (SADEYA) Av.

Does FreeBSD install/run on |notebooks, particularly the Thinkpad series? It does run on a ThinkPad (I installed both FreeBSD 2.0 and 2.0.5 on a ThinkPad 340M), but not without some modifications: - it seems you need some boot-block modifications when you have a 2.88MB one. I only have a 1.44MB one, which works fine. - the keyboard doesn't work with the kernel on the boot floppy. You need to create a boot floppy with pcvt as console driver, configured for scanset 2. - If you want to use the advanced power management (APM), you need to modify the kernel to only use 639K of low memory, the 640th K is used for extended bios services/APM. Not doing so results in page faults as soon as you activate the apm stuff. Creating a modified install floppy for 2.0.5 is not simple if you don't have the full srcdist, or no space/time to do a build from scratch. I did it by - building a new kernel with pcvt and the MFS options for the embedded file system - decompressing the standard boot.flp kernel (you need remove the header first!) - copying the embedded file system from that kernel into the one I just compiled - compressing the new kernel - storing it on a boot floppy This allows you to boot and install, but don't forget that the kernel in the bindist won't work either, so you can't reboot from the harddisk yet. Creating a fake bindist containing only a modified kernel, and installing that after the real bindist worked around that problem as well. If you installed the kernel sources, you might be able to boot from floppy and compile the kernel on the ThinkPad, but I haven't tried that yet. FreeBSD does run without any problems in only 4MB, but more memory helps a lot. A kernel compile took just over one hour with 4MB installed, the system swaps/pages all the time. Upgrading to 12MB got that down to ~35 minutes, and still gives good response when you are doing other things at the same time (Note that a ThinkPad 340M uses a 486SLC-2/50, which is a bit slower than a Pentium :-).

I am guessing it is a problem with the syscons driver and some flavors of keyboard bios.

Oddly enough, your mail headers indicate that you are in a timezone that is 5 hours offset from GMT. Have you run "tzsetup"? Are you using a GMT or localtime CMOS clock? And is /etc/localtime readable to the world? Or does the clock slowly drift over time? -- Mike Pritchard mpp@mpp.minn.net "Go that way. Really fast.

Currently, I have a standalone machine with a ppp connection to the net. I have all (most) of the ip services running fine, such as ftp, telnet, www, etc and I am able to SEND mail just fine. The problem I'm having is that I'm unable to RECEIVE any mail on this machine. I've searched the Usenet archives and relavent FAQ's with no success. Can someone point me in the right direction or provide some assistance? BTW, I'm a sysadmin type, not a programmer, so I don't have the skills to hack anything beyond the basics . Thanks Steve.

The college I work for has 12 modems connected to a Telebit Netblazer 40. They want to use this to provide SLIP/PPP services to the college students & faculty. The problem is, that as of now the only thing that the people working on this project have gotten the netblazer to do is telnet to one of our FreeBSD hosts once the correct username & password is given. This is good, but we really want to do native PPP or SLIP and not use shell accounts. We have all looked (intently) at the manuals that came with the netblazer but none of us can make any sense of how to configure the dammned thing for SLIP or PPP. We have a pool of 12 ip addresses reserved for this purpose also, and would like them to be dynamically assigned upon connection. My question is: Would somebody who is using one of these things to provide SLIP/PPP services please explain to me step, by step how we could configure our Netblazer for this? This would be greatly appreciated.

We use FreeBSD for more than one year (2.0, 2.0.5-ALPHA and now the 2.0.5 RELEASE) and it works just fine for our needs. The 2.0.5 RELEASE is a step further (stability, reliability, and better support for TCP/IP); it offers us the opportunity to realize one of our project.

This is just so totally confused it's not funny 8( A20 is an address line, not an interrupt. No systems (that I'm aware of anyway) use the keyboard to access any memory anywhere. A20 _is_ (obviously, really) used to address memory above the 1M mark, and is manipulated in an odd fashion in some modes. None have anything to do with the keyboard. What you're probably confusing this with is the trick that old versions of OS/2 used to return from protected mode to real mode on the '286. This has _nothing_ to do with FreeBSD, memory above 1M, A20 or my (badly wilted) geraniums. > Carlos Amengual, amengual@prades.cesca.es -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" - Terry Lambert [[ From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jul 24 16:30:05 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.6) id QAA23590 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 24 Jul 1995 16:30:05 -0700 Received: from mail.uncc.edu (mail.uncc.edu [152.15.10.135]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id QAA23582 for ; Mon, 24 Jul 1995 16:30:03 -0700 Received: from unccsun.uncc.edu (unccsun.uncc.edu [152.15.10.88]) by mail.uncc.edu (8.6.10/8.6.10) with ESMTP id TAA23577 for ; Mon, 24 Jul 1995 19:29:56 -0400 From: Leung Cheung Received: (lcheung@localhost) by unccsun.uncc.edu (8.6.10/8.6.4) id TAA29298 for questions@FreeBSD.org; Mon, 24 Jul 1995 19:29:56 -0400 Date: Mon, 24 Jul 1995 19:29:56 -0400 Message-Id: <199507242329.TAA29298@unccsun.uncc.edu> To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Video Card Support Content-Length: 117 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, there, I am intereted buying the FreeBSD CD, but I wana to know if the FreeBSD supports Compaq QVision? thnx.

The time has come to upgrade. I've been checking out motherboards, and the most performant for the money seem to be the Triton-based motherboards (ASUS, SuperMicro, et al). The one thing that makes me a tad nervous is the lack of parity support in the Triton chipset. So, the question: Is anyone out there running FreeBSD (1.1, 2.0, 2.0.5, etc) on one of these motherboards? If so, have you seen any significant problems with undetected memory errors? My only other option seems to be to go with the Neptune chipset, but it doesn't support some of the sexier technology (Burst SRAM, etc). Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

The answer is: sort of. :-) Generally, especially older PCs required a keyboard. Some clever person decided it made sense to issue errors like: keyboard error Press to continue. which makes a lot of sense if you don't have a keyboard in the first place. Anyway, most newer BIOSen allow you to disable the keyboard missing error; on my AMI bios I set the "Keyboard not installed" flag. This is a misleading flag, since if I set it and a keyboard IS present it works fine... I've not seen ANY PC that will boot without a video card of some sort; they always fail in POST. What we did was get an ancient CGA card from a junk box at a HAM fest for $1 and stuff that in. It's enough to get past POST. To get a serial port to work as a console port (a la a headless Sun) use the "options COMCONSOLE" in your kernel build. Check out the FreeBSD Web pages ("http://www.freebsd.org"); there's a page that explains how to do this in detail. Hope this helps!!

I said it was clever. :-) Seriously what WAS (IMHO) short sighted was to REQUIRE a keyboard. I still have an old PC that won't pass POST without a keyboard present and has no BIOS option to circumvent the situation. It's really annoying to have a headless PC that requires a keyboard.

Also visit the freebsd.org web page for the *much improving* docs there... and the FreeBSD.FAQ. Be aware that most of the "unix" books out there are more System V than BSD. It is a distinction with a difference for administering things. There is a lot you can play with in 150mb. There is a dos utility that can work on a live system and free up that space for you ... scares the **** out of me though! :) Get the 2.0.5 CD and you have lots of docs online, or get the boot floppy and read the help files there to find out how to turn your dos drive into a FreeBSD thing. -- Jan Isley If you couldn't find any weirdness, maybe we'll just have to make some! -- Hobbes From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jul 24 21:17:26 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.6) id VAA07138 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 24 Jul 1995 21:17:26 -0700 Received: from lupine.nsi.nasa.gov (lupine.nsi.nasa.gov [198.116.2.100]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id VAA07132 ; Mon, 24 Jul 1995 21:17:25 -0700 Received: (from mnewell@localhost) by lupine.nsi.nasa.gov (8.6.12/8.6.12) id AAA23033; Tue, 25 Jul 1995 00:15:15 -0400 Date: Tue, 25 Jul 1995 00:15:15 -0400 (EDT) From: "Michael C.

I've never seen one myself, but given the simplicity of the keyboard electronics it certainly can't be that hard (or that expensive) to build one. If nothing else one could grab an old keyboard with damaged keys and strip out just the electronics. Still, I think that if you're planning on setting up a headless system you should make sure it will boot without a keyboard. Having a chunk of electronics hanging off the back is kind of tasteless. :-)!!

Preferably a full one, but if you don't have the resources, make sure you're not going to lost anything if you get it wrong. Then grab a tool called fips; you'll find it in the 2.0-RELEASE tree under tools/dos-tools. Get the distribution archive as well (under the same directory and read the documentation.) Use something like Norton's Speed Disk, or the DOS 6 Defrag tool to fully compress your drive. You need to do this to move all of the data to one end of the disk so that you can stick a new partition in. Run the fips tool and make yourself a partition about 100M or so in size.

You can run it under DOS. Sometimes it fails when you have unmovable files at the end of the partition. You can attrib -r -h -s them. Not that this method is unsupported and not the 'official' way to do it but in many cases it works. The safest would be to backup your DOS files and repartition (FDISK) the disk.

The SCSI controller for the CD-ROM is a NEC CD-AT160, which uses the Future Domain TMC-1610M-NEC chip set. After booting from a FreeBSD boot floppy, the installation program cannot find the CD-ROM. Would it work if I changed the SCSI IRQ number or ROM BIOS address or I/O address ? Available IRQs are 3, 5, 10, 11, 14, 15. Available SCSI BIOS addresses are C800h, CA00h, CE00h, DE00h. Available I/O addresses are 140h, 150h, 160h, 170h. If changing these will not work, the choices are to buy another SCSI controller or try Linux, is that correct ? Thank you for any help or advice.

In my case, every motherboard I've tried (mostly AMI and Phoenix BIOSen) just gave "beep codes" when powered up without a video card.

I never mentioned a system using a keyboard to access memory, however the PCs use the keyboard controller to turn the A20 address line off and on to access memory above 1 MB.

The A20 gate opens when non-XT PCs are powered up, for compatibility with the XT; then must be closed to allow full memory addressing, and all this is done via the keyboard controller. I (really) cannot believe that you have never experienced a memory parity error, for example, because of a keyboard failure (or absence). The keyboard controller is very sensitive to this kind of stuff, at least for the PCs that I know. It should be possible to build a motherboard that gets rid of this, and perhaps it exists, but the point is that, as I stated in my message, in principle it will not. > What you're probably confusing this with is the trick that old versions > of OS/2 used to return from protected mode to real mode on the '286.

It *does* give beep code errors, but we just ignore them, in fact we've come to expect them to indicate that a machine is booting :). For most of the newer Micronics, the beeps go something like long-short-long-short. Some of the older ones were just two beeps, (I think, but I can't remember for sure). Booting does take a bit longer especially with lots of ram because you have to wait for the memory test. Also, its kind of flying blind, cause you really have no idea what's happening if the machine doesn't boot. The biggest problem was with the pci/pentium boards. We were close to having our hardware guys build a dongle to trick the machine into booting, but alas, disabling POST errors in the bios fixed it.

With my PPI V.FC (not V.34) modems, I see ping times around 160-180ms. To do error correction and data compression, modems "packetize" data; basically, when sending data, the modem tries to gather a packet of data (256 bytes, I think) before sending. However, this doesn't work well with interactive use, and so there's a timeout; when the timeout occurs, the partial packet is sent. This timeout is the cause of the long latencies (and note that two timeouts probably occur with ping -- one for each direction). -- Darryl Okahata Internet: darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion or policy of Hewlett-Packard or of the little green men that have been following him all day.

INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR FreeBSD 2.0.5 This manual documents the process of installing FreeBSD on your machine. Please also see the Hardware Guide for hardware-specific installation instructions (how to configure your hardware, what sorts of things to watch out for, etc) before starting a new installation. Table of Contents: ================== 1.0 DOS User's Q&A section. 1.1 How do I make space for FreeBSD? 1.2 Can I use compressed DOS filesystems from FreeBSD? 1.3 Can I use DOS extended partitions? 1.4 Can I run DOS executables under FreeBSD? .... 1.3 Can I mount my DOS extended partitions? This feature isn't in FreeBSD 2.0.5 but should be in 2.1. We've laid all the groundwork for making this happen, now we just need to do the last 1% of the work involved.

On FreeBSD-2.0.5-RELEASE, why is there a limit to the maximum size of the boot2 program?

There is no documentation mentionning it. I'd guess it has to do with the second bootstrap living in the slack space on the first cylinder. The first bootrecord is at 0/0/0, and the first place a filesystem can start is 0/1/0. (cylinder/head/sector) If we assume the worst case, an MFM disk, that leaves 16 sectors, or 8192 bytes total space free. 7168 equates to 14 sectors, so I suspect that this is a slightly conservative value. > Andrew Webster Network Manager / Special Projects -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" - Terry Lambert [[ From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jul 25 17:55:07 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.6) id RAA20437 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 25 Jul 1995 17:55:07 -0700 Received: from easynet.com (easy1.easynet.com [199.2.26.10]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.6) with SMTP id RAA20431 for ; Tue, 25 Jul 1995 17:55:06 -0700 Received: by easynet.com (Smail3.1.28.1 #7) id m0saukf-000rfWC; Tue, 25 Jul 95 17:55 WET DST Message-Id: From: brian@MediaCity.com (Brian Litzinger) Subject: Problems with Triton PCI based boards To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Tue, 25 Jul 1995 17:55:08 -0700 (PDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 954 Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I just got Mylex (rev3) and Bioteq (rev2) Triton based PCI Pentium motherboards, and tried installing FreeBSD 2.0.5 SNAP 950622 on them.

By the way, on the installation instructions regarding booting from the CD, it would help if you would specifically recommend that one use a vanilla boot disc with the system files and autoexec.bat and config.sys that only refers to the CD drivers.

There is no documentation mentionning it. So it will fit in one cylinder on the smallest floppy device we support. Also because existing file systems have it right before the disklabel which is right before slice 'a', meaning there's no place for it to grow *to* without a reinstall. The acknowledged "correct" fix is to write a boot block that can read a file (probably called "biosboot" or just "boot") off the UFS / on slice 'a' and run it instead of loading and running the kernel. That way, there wouldn't be the one cylinder limit on the size, or the rigid disk layout limits imposed by where the boot lives on the hard drive. The boot file thus loaded would continue to run using BIOS calls and do whateve, finally loading the kernel when it was all done. Then you could put all sorts of crap in it until people (like me) started complaining that it was too large for a 1.2M floppy. Or until you filled all of conventional memoy with BIOS code (640k limit).

I'm trying to add a "hi-speed" serial card with two ports to a 486 ISA system running FreeBSD. The card allows setting of IRQs via jumpers on the card, as well as base addresses. . I chose 10 and 11 for these ports which are supposed to be sio2 and sio3. FreeBSD doesn't recognize that the com ports are there, though I changed the irq for sio{2,3} via kernel -c. I reluctantly booted up DOS and ran msd, which shows all 4 com ports (and identifies the different uart chips correctly), but shows the ports sharing IRQs 4 and 3 (which is common in the DOS world, I am told).

It opens a pipe, sets the descriptor for the read end to nonblocking and async, and then establishes a signal handler for SIGIO. On the Sparc it worked, but here, it seems that writing on the write end never rasies SIGIO. Any way around this, or do i have to rewrite it to work with sockets? 2) pppd is up and running happily between my 2.0.5 machines in home and office. I notice the strange thing, though, that sometimes an ftp from office to home will just hang after a bit... then perhaps restart very slowly. However, if i open another window and ping office from home during the transfer,the ftp transfer resumes its normal speed. Is this normal?

While I'm asking, each of sb, sbxvi, and opl claim support for the SB16's sound capabilities. Could someone characterize their differences?

Read on if you may be able to help. I'm finally upgrading my 1.1.5 system. I've tar'red the distribution files onto a QIC-80 tape (120meg uncompressed) with my Colorado Jumbo 350. I boot off the boot.flp floppy I made. The nifty install menu stuff comes up. I go through all the configuration stuff. My hard drvies are all "sliced" up. I "commit". The installation program does all the newfs'ing without any problems. Then it says get your QIC-02 tape ready. I hit enter and watch the beautiful error message pop up. Now what? I didn't see a way of telling the kernel what type of tape drive I had (btw, it does find the tape drive at bootup "ft0: Colorado tape"). I had the tape in the drive way before bootup. And I even tried to put the tape in when prompted. And the drive worked great in FreeBSD 1.1.5R. Except that I couldn't use the longer tapes (350 meg compressed) ones. I'd appreciate any advice anyone could give me.

My Pentium (100Mhz) has two caches, one external, one internal. During my intial install of FreeBSD, they were both on. The install would randomly reboot at about halfway through. Turning off the external cache fixed this problem. However, with the internal cache on, I still get the occasional reboot, particularly if there is extensive disk activity. For example, running X6 with 6 xterms up and a copy of XEmacs, and a make of xview-lib running, switching to another workspace in ctwm causes a reboot. I surmise that this is because of the disk activity (Adaptec 2940 SCSI system). I've got 16Mb RAM and 64Mb swap, which should be sufficient (for the moment). The reboots don't seem to be because of a paniced kernel. I have crash dumps on, and none of the reboots have yet created anything that `savecore' could salvage. Obviously, the solution is to turn the internal cache off. But if I do this then I take quite a performance hit. My benchmark is compiling the kernel. My (fairly standard) kernel takes about 15 minutes from the start of `config' to the end of the final `make' with the internal cache on. If I turn the internal cache off it takes well over two hours to compile. I know that if I turn around to my motherboard supplier they'll say "It works find under DOS/Windows/OS2/Linux, prove it's a bug in our motherboard". So can anyone provide me with technical information that I can give the manufacturer and say "fix this"?

What chipset does the board use? If Saturn/Neptune/Mercury, what is the chipset manufacture date? If prior to Apr 1994, request that they replace the chips with chips manufactured from masks produced later than Apr 1994. The typical problem where disabling the cache fixes the bug is that bus mastering DMA transfers to memory by disk controllers do not cause the cache contents to be updated or invalidated, and when the "stale" data is subsequently accessed, you have problems. The other possibility is faulty electronics on the board itself preventing cache notification from operating. The least likely possibility (but it is still a possibility) is that your cache is actually failing, either because they used slower than needed parts or because of thermal breakdown from the inside the case teperate being too high. Are you running a fan on the Pentium itself as well as a fan on the case? Other than that, I can't think of anything serious that could be going on (off the top of my head).

I had a similar problem when I first started using a different POP client (called, appropriately, "popclient"), and it turns out that your messages will not be deleted from the server until the client properly closes the connection.

The system boots ok and recognizes the scsi bus (a NCR 810) and sees all the devices. After loading the ncr0 driver, it does a reset and "waits for the bus to settle". The tape resets and spends a fair amount of time (typical for a 8205) retensioning the tape. [I have been trying this mostly with the tape in before booting.] The install program claims that there is no tape. Upon exiting the install, I see the following on the screen. st0(ncr0:2,0): NOT READY asy:4,1 st0(ncr0:2,0): Logical unit is in the process of becoming ready Booting without the tape, also fails, though then the "not ready" is "media not present, not ready" I suspect some silly timing issue, but frankly am stumped.

Also, does anyone know how we can register under the gov or edu domain and like where we would get the applications? Sorry for some non-FreeBSD specific questions but I'm sure some of you FreeBSD users would know very much about this stuff. 4) We will be providing ppp/slip on our machine... Is there anyway to start ppp/slip from the shell as the server or do we have to use something like slirp in order to do this since all the ppp/slip ip's will be routed through the FreeBSD machine. Also, would I need to set the option "GATEWAY" on in the kernel config? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for you help!

On power up it announces itself as an AMI BIOS (c) 1994, with additions by TriGem (who manufacture the machine) (c) 1995. The BIOS name seems to be "Viper" I've taken the hood off and had a look at the chips. Two seem to be of interest. One, roughly 1.5cm square has a gold coloured top and has the text AMI BIOS (c) 1993 Pentium CPU PCA ISA BIOS 288542 on it. The other is a larger chip, roughly 1.5in square, with the text OPTi Viper 82C557 Tawain 951215TE > The typical problem where disabling the cache fixes the bug is that > bus mastering DMA transfers to memory by disk controllers do not cause > the cache contents to be updated or invalidated, and when the "stale" > data is subsequently accessed, you have problems. Thanks. I'll pass that on to TriGem. Their response yesterday was that the OS was failing to pass instructions on the processor fast enough. I tried to point out that they were talking crap. . . > The other possibility is faulty electronics on the board itself > preventing cache notification from operating. > > The least likely possibility (but it is still a possibility) is > that your cache is actually failing, either because they used slower > than needed parts or because of thermal breakdown from the inside > the case teperate being too high.

For what it's worth, dmesg identifies the processor like so: CPU: 100-MHz Pentium 815\\100 (Pentium-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x525 Stepping=5 Features=0x1bf real memory = 16384000 (4000 pages) avail memory = 15007744 (3664 pages) A thought. Does anyone have (or could they knock one up?) a DOS based program which would show this bug? If I can demonstrate to TriGem that the problem occurs on something other than a free OS (no offence intended to the FreeBSD team, but you can guess their response when I said I was running a free OS on the machine. . .) then I've probably got a better chance of getting some action from them. Failing that, does anyone know of any technical literature (maybe product updates from Intel or something like that) which document the fact that this problem exists. My thanks to those people who've already taken the time to help me out with this problem.

And, I think the 1.0.2 version (it was an add-on package then) worked the best. But 2.0.5's version seems to be better than 1.1.5.1's. In 1.1.5.1, I wasn't able to use ft & dump together to back up /usr (wd1e?). Dumping the root mount point, however, worked fine. Incidently, tar & ft always worked ok with either slice. Well, with 2.0.5, I seem to be able to backup /usr again with dump. I haven't actually let the dump run all the way thru yet, but it didn't bomb right away, which is a great sign! The problem I'm having now, tho, is whenever I do any operations with ft, I get: Jul 27 20:57:25 scylla /kernel: fdc0 input ready timeout or Jul 27 20:57:25 scylla /kernel: fdc0 output ready timeout These messages keep being repeated on the console, naturally, which is really annoying.

This chip does not support cache update or invalidate on non-processor main memory writes, leaving the cache contents incorrect but still in cache. Non-processor main memory writes occur as a result of bus mastering devices getting a bus grant and writing main memory using on board logic rather than involving the system processor. A system which fails in this way can not be claimed to comply with either the EISA or the PCI standards. While cache implementation on PCI is optional (PCI local bus specification, rev 2.0, section 3.8), it is only its implementation on the PCI bus itself which is optional. If the processor has cache on the other side of the PCI bridge (ie: a design wherein the native system bus is not PCI and PCI devices are bridged onto the system bus, then cache coherency is required). PCI r2.0 S3.8 P3: Any PCI target that supports cacheable memory must monitor the PCI cache support pins and respond apropriately. Targets configured to be non-cacheable may ignore SDONE and SB0#, as this may save a little access latency, depending on configuration. PCI r2.0 S2.2.7: A cacheable PCI memory should implement both cache support pins as inputs, to allow it to work with either write-through or write-back caches. If cacheable memory is located on PCI, a bridge connecting a write-back cache to PCI must implement both pins as outputs; a bridge connecting to a write-through cache may only implement one pin as described in Section 3.8. I read this as saying that the target must be configured to be non-cacheable if the option to omit cache support is taken by the manufacturer. Unless a written exception has been granted, claims of compliance are in violation of the manufacturers license agreement and should be brought to the attention of the licensing authorities. For PCI, this is: PCI Special Interest Group M/S HF3-15A 5200 NE Elam Young Parkway Hillsboro, OR 97124-6497 Phone: +1 (503) 696-2000 Fax: +1 (503) 693-0920 Additional PCI notes: Other than the DEC Alpha 21066/21066A and Motorolla PPC bridges (and possibly the new Macs) -- basically all non-Intel hardware other than the Triton chipset -- most PCI implementations do not support bus arbitration signals for more than 2 bus masters; this is a well known limitation for which written exceptions exist.

Also, does anyone know how we can register under the gov or edu domain and like where we would get the applications? Sorry for some non-FreeBSD specific questions but I'm sure some of you FreeBSD users would know very much about this stuff. 4) We will be providing ppp/slip on our machine... Is there anyway to start ppp/slip from the shell as the server or do we have to use something like slirp in order to do this since all the ppp/slip ip's will be routed through the FreeBSD machine. Also, would I need to set the option "GATEWAY" on in the kernel config? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for you help!

I had with some hitches. Most of the hitches envolved getting the DOS/Windows drivers working right. This was till I noticed that my MB BIOS does 32bit/Multi-Block. Turned off all 2300+ drivers except for windows, (windows still offers spooradic reboots and hangs, but what's new) and turned off 2300+ BIOS and it has been running great since then. Had to rebuild kernel with 32bit and Multi-block but that's it. 16550's work great and ECP/EPP was ON with no downside to FreeBSD even when using lp0. Summary: Solid as a rock under FreeBSD.

Also, does anyone know how we can register under the gov or edu domain and like where we would get the applications? Sorry for some non-FreeBSD specific questions but I'm sure some of you FreeBSD users would know very much about this stuff. 4) We will be providing ppp/slip on our machine... Is there anyway to start ppp/slip from the shell as the server or do we have to use something like slirp in order to do this since all the ppp/slip ip's will be routed through the FreeBSD machine. Also, would I need to set the option "GATEWAY" on in the kernel config? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for you help!

I tried installing 2.0.5 last night from msdos, but it didn't display the partition the binaries were on. I re-read the install guide and realized that 2.0.5 can't read an extended dos partition :( Please correct me if this is incorrect. So I tried something neater: install via FTP. Only trouble is I'm not sure of some of the parameters (the one's I tried didn't work). Here's a brief description of my situation. I call a phone number with my computer/modem which connects me to York's terminal servers. I think their IP address (I don't know if I'm using this term correctly) is yorku.ca. From here I normally do a rlogin to the host machine I work with at York. However the terminal server supports ppp and slip. So in trying to use ppp for the installation, i need to specify: 1. my host name (I think this is...what? anything.foo.ca ?) 2. my domain name (I think this would be 'ca'?) 3. Gateway (I don't know what this is: how do I find out?) 4. Domain name server (I think, it might be 10.2.0.78 ...how can I verify?) Sorry for the long-winded message. I just wanted to give you enough info to give you an idea of my situation. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks S.

Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi. I am getting that error when I try to reboot our 486. It just hangs there. I've checked the BIOS and there doesn't seem to be a feature relevant to "keyboard reset". It has an AMI BIOS set. I'd be happy to provide more information to anyone that can help track down this problem. Thanks a lot for a great product! -Nate From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jul 29 23:58:15 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.6) id XAA24931 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 29 Jul 1995 23:58:15 -0700 Received: from pancake.remcomp.fr (pancake.remcomp.fr [194.51.30.1]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.6) with SMTP id XAA24925 for ; Sat, 29 Jul 1995 23:58:06 -0700 Received: (from didier@localhost) by aida (8.6.11/8.6.9) id CAA00429; Sun, 30 Jul 1995 02:38:50 +0200 Date: Sun, 30 Jul 1995 02:38:49 +0200 (MET DST) From: Didier Derny X-Sender: didier@aida To: C.I.King@ukc.ac.uk cc: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: Acquiring the latest FreeBSD CD-ROM(s) from the UK In-Reply-To: <199507281429.HAA10752@freefall.cdrom.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Fri, 28 Jul 1995 C.I.King@ukc.ac.uk wrote: > > Hello. > > I've been using FreeBSD since version 1.0e and I want > to get my hands on the latest version on CD-ROM.
