What you shpould do is one of the two: 1. Install DES. Note that if you want your system to remain otherwise unaffected you need to restore the links to the MD5 libraries after the installation (alternatively, you may manually install just parts of it). 2. Let SSLeay use its own DES implementation. To do that, use the SSLeay make files, not the port make files (I guess the port make files can be hacked to make SSLeay with its DES components, but this seems easier to me). If I remember correctly, I tried option 2, and finally went for option 1.

Isn't that an EIDE CDROM??? (I think the SoundBlaster 16 has an IDE controller on it). If it is, try connecting it as the slave to the primary EIDE controller on your motherboard (the same one the HD is conected to). Then it should be recognized by the wcd driver.

I have set up two different print queues on my system - one for plain text (lp) and one for postscript (ps). My printcap file looks something like this: lp|line printer:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:sh:\ :pw=80:pl=66:if=/usr/local/sbin/lp-bjif: ps|Postscript Printer:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/lpd/ps:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:sh:\ :if=/usr/local/sbin/ps-bjif: Most of the above can be tailored to your own needs but the important option is the if=. I've created two scripts which look like this. lp-bjif: #!/usr/local/bin/perl # # Cannon BJC-210 # while () { $_ =~ s/\n/\r\n/g ; print $_ ; } print "\f" ; # # EOF This is a simple perl script which does crlf changes and drops a form feed on the end so that the printer ejects the paper. Probably could be improved. You could re-write using sed if you don't like perl. #!/bin/sh # # Cannon BJC-210 Postscript filter script # # /usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=bj200 -r360 -sOutputFile=- - exit 0 # # EOF This is the bare bone minimum filter as outlined in the ghostscript documentation. I find that it does a reasonable job of producing output but when I need letter quality text then I print directly from one of my windows 95 boxes. You'll need to make both scripts publically executable but NOT writable. Fingers crossed and using lpr should produce some decent results. Also, I found a number of the printer codes in the BJC-210 Dos manual for the printer. I hope this helps. Good luck, Joel...

I get part way through my backup and then the tape drive tries to wind the tape on further than it can actually go, giving off a whole bunch of write errors. I have be searching through the mail archives and I have found references to a new driver called "lft" which is (was?) being tested. Is it still available? Where could I find a copy? Or perhaps it is going to be included in 2.1.6??? If anyone has come up with some quick fixs to the source code for ft so that it will recognize the tape I would love to hear from you also.

First, Are you trying to use 'user ppp' or 'kernel ppp'? If you are trying to use 'user ppp' then I'm afraid I can't help - never could get it running (guess I'm not smart enough). If you are trying 'kernel ppp' the I may be able to help. To use 'kernel ppp' first you must recompile the kernel (don't panic - it is really simple if you follow the instruction in the handbook [and think just a little bit]). Then I use this script to get pppd up and running and make the connection with my ISP: ________________________________________________________________ #!/bin/sh ps ax | grep pppd | grep -v grep PID=`ps ax | grep pppd | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}'` if [ "$PID" = "" ] then pppd connect 'chat -v "" ATDTXXXXXXX CONNECT ""\ Name: XXXXXXXX Password: XXXXXXXXX' \ /dev/cuaa0 38400 : fi ________________________________________________________________ Watch the spacing and the direction of the single quote (forgive me if I have named them incorrectly) You may also need to log in normally and find the login names your ISP uses (Name, Login, etc and make sure the capitalization is correct) Replace the first set of XXXXXXXXX following the ATDT with the phone number you use to connect to your ISP Replace the set of XXXXXXXX after Name: with your user name (Name is what my ISP login prompt looks like - yours may be different - check it out with your ISP) Replace the set of XXXXXXXX with your password (same applies here - this is my ISPs request for password - yours may be different) Save the file in /bin (don't flame me for this it's the easiest for a newbie like me) Next the shutdown script looks like this: ___________________________________________________________________________ #!/bin/sh pid=`ps ax | grep pppd | grep -v grep | awk '{print$1;}'` if [ X${pid} != "X" ] ; then echo 'killing pppd, PID=' ${pid} kill -INT ${pid} fi ___________________________________________________________________________ Again watch the spacing and direction of the single quotes (hint the single quote at the end of the pid line is under the ~ key. (by the way - thanks again to all who helped with the kill line - you're the greatest). Save this in /bin (ok I'll put on the asbestos BVDs) Check to make sure that 'pppd' is in your path in your startup file (mine is in /root/.profile - I use bash for a shell) My 'pppd' is in /usr/sbin. Also make sure that after you type in the scripts that you change thier mode with: chmod +x ipu and chmod +x ipd the 'x' if for execute (won't work unless they are executable). If you had to change your path don't forget to logout and then back in (sorry for this newbie approach - I'm still learning) so that the new path is visible to your shell. In theory this should get you up and running (unless I've missed something - anyone?) Hope this helps - any questions, don't hesitate to email me and maybe we can workout this fumbling attempt to help.

In any case, when reinstalling FreeBSD after a failed installation, it is better to first delete all the partitions that were left over from the previous installations (they may confuse sysinstall). If it isn't the first disk, you have to tell FreeBSD to put bootmgr on the first disk by either: 1. Selecting both disks as the destination for installation, and only specifying the bootmgr for the first disk, without creating any partitions. 2. Installing it when booting from DOS (see bootinst in the \tools directory). When you say "nothing happens when I reboot" what do you mean? Does the machine hang? Does it give any error messages?

If I run X my .bashrc has no TERM setup and I can log on to my ISP machine using telnet and read my mail using pine (god I hate the newest version) - my ISP machine is a Linux box running 2.0.2??. However, if I telnet in from my commandline (no X) - when I run pine from his commandline I get "unknown terminal type". I have tried contacting him (my ISP) to see if he can correct but I've waited 5 days for an email answer and can't get through on the phone (unusual problem ;) ). If I try not setting the TERM type in .profile and repeat I get "cons25 - unknown terminal type". Can anyone suggest a terminal type that will work with anything in the world (yeah right, sure, uh huh.....) so that I can check my mail without running X.

Such a book exists: It is called "The Complete FreeBSD" and is available from Walnut Creek CDROM, mail info@cdrom.com for info. It comes with the most current version of FreeBSD I believe. The Complete FreeBSD is focused mainly on FreeBSD specific topics such as installation, configuration, and so forth, as well as hardcopies of many system manual pages. Most of the setup/configuration/misc. information is largely on line as the FreeBSD Handbook at http://www.freebsd.org under Documentation->Handbook. You would be well advised to pick up an independent system administration manual such as Evi Nemeth's "UNIX System Administration Handbook, 2nd Ed." avaiable from Prentice Hall and good bookstores. Likewise, many of the O'Reilly books are excellent. The Handbook has a bibliography of recommended reading, take a look at it. Finally, much system administration experience comes from practical work. This is what it takes to "learn" FreeBSD and to become a competent system administrator, in my opinion. (I guess I 'overanswered' the question, but I wanted to be complete.) Hope this helps.

QIC40 & 80 tapes only. The experimental lft tape driver MIGHT do something with it, but I'm guessing that nowadays, floppy interfaced tape drives are basically proprietary monsters.

PPP is broke in that it doesn't recognize when you select the port for the modem. 1. Move your modem to COM1 or COM2. 2. If you moved it to COM1, then you're done. 3. If you moved it to COM2, type at the ppp> prompt set device /dev/cuaa1 then type 'term'. Your modem should then work.

I would be more comfortable with a SCSI version. I don't know if the wd driver can handle insert/ejects, or if it even acts like a hard disk. If it requires a special driver then no way unless someone writes one. SCSI tapes are very well supported.

The floppy install in 2.1.6 is horrid. It has a goofy set of assumptions that only Jordan could understand :) Someone wrote up the entire instruction set on how to do floppy install the sysinstall way, check the archives. Basically, it entails putting the .inf file on the last floppy of the previous distribution (which I didn't think was necessary). That may work for you. 2. I've noticed in the 2.1.5 (and thus this one assumedly) that sysinstall has a linear view of reality. If it gets confused, then yes, it will try to pick up where it left off. The best way is to just start over. Sorry. > Otherwise, I like the improvements to the installation process, but I'd > like to see more opportunity for the user to intervene, fix problems, > and have the flexability to continue again from there. That would be quite nice, yes. I believe there is an effor to fix the stupid little stuff for 2.2; I'll try to find the person to bug about this. If you feel real adventurus you could dig into sysinstall and try to fix it yourself; ahh, the advantage of free source. :) You might try bugging Jordan (jkh@freebsd.org) or the hackers list (hackers@freebsd.org) if you wanted to try that tack.

Install apache. Apache is the de facto standard web server for FreeBSD. use 'pkg_add'. 2. I believe that by default, /usr/local/www/data/ is the top level of the server. Ie, put your homepage as 'index.html' there. Youwill want to poke around the configuration files in www/server/conf and make sure they are in order. 3. Edit /etc/rc.local. Add the line /usr/local/etc/httpd to start teh server automatically at boot. That should do it. Pretty easy.

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions IV: How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction =============== This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with break- ing into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions ============================================== When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG. In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean that you have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. In this case, you do need to tell Majordomo the correct name, and that's when the welcome message from Majordomo comes in handy. If you have not kept it, all is not lost. Send a message to majordomo asking for the list of the members of the group. In the text of the message, write: who freebsd-questions The names returned in the list are not all individual mail IDs: you'll see a number of names like: freebsd-questions-list@datatec.com freebsd-questions-redist@news.uni-stuttgart.de incoming-freebsd-questions@cisco.com freebsd-questions@clinet.fi freebsd-questions@mcs.anl.gov If you're on one of these lists, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. IF ALL ELSE FAILS ----------------- If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to Postmaster@FreeBSD.ORG, and he will sort things out for you. DON'T send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: How to submit a question ============================== When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider the following points: 1. Remember that nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message: they look at the subject line and decide whether it interests them. Clearly, it's in your interest to specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Help" aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, many people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!!. We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak English as their first language, and we try to make allowances for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message written full of typos or without any line breaks. A lot of badly formatted messages come from bad mailers. The mailers in the Microsoft world are frequent offenders. If at all possible, use a UNIX mailer. If you must use a mailer under Microsoft environments, make sure it is set up correctly. Try not to use MIME: a lot of people use mailers which don't get on very well with MIME. 4. Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly. This may seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but many of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred messages a day. They frequently sort the incoming messages by subject and by date, and if your message doesn't come before the first answer, they may assume they missed it and not bother to look. 5. Don't include unrelated questions in the same message. Firstly, a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to read the message. 6. Specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: - If you get error messages, don't say "I get error messages", say (for example) "I get the error message 'No route to host'". - If your system panics, don't say "My system panicked", say (for example) "my system panicked with the message 'free vnode isn't'". - If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what hardware you have. In particular, it's important to know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine. 7. If you do all this, and you still don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message again and again will only make you unpopular. To summarize, let's assume you know the answer to the following question. You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1.5 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it. I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16 MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive. The installation works just fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing Operating System". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IV: How to answer a question ============================ Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider: 1. A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to answering questions. Read them. 2. Has somebody already answered the question? The easiest way to check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all together. If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean that you shouldn't send another answer. But it makes sense to read all the other answers first. 3. Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been said? In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much, although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software. If you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further relevant information. 4. Are you sure your answer is correct? If not, wait a day or so. If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI CD-ROM with a frog?". 5. Don't do a group reply; lots of people send messages with hundreds of CCs. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, just reply to the person and copy FreeBSD-questions. 6. Trim the original message to the minimum, and use some technique to identify which text came from the original message, and which text you add. I personally find that prepending "> " to the original message works best. Leaving white space after the ">" and leave empty lines between your text and the original text both make the result more readable. Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a text such as "Re: ". If your mailer doesn't do it automatically, you should do it manually. If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too long, inappropriate subject line), *please* fix it. In the case of an incorrect subject line (such as "HELP!!??"), change the subject line to (say) "Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was: HELP!!??)". That way other people trying to follow the thread will have less difficulty following it. In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you did it, but try not to be rude.

The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. If you have this book, please check this list. If you find a bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me (grog@freebsd.org). --- Last change: 20 November 1996 --- Figure 10-4, page 172: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s3a through /dev/sd1s3h as shown. Figure 10-6, page 176: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are *still* called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s1a through /dev/sd1s1h as shown. (Well, at least the average turned out right :-) The man page section (pages 225 to 766) was sorted by ASCII name of the man page, with the result that the man pages whose names start with upper-case letters come before those whose names start with lower-case letters. Sorry about that. If you're looking for a man page, probably the best place to start is in the Table of Contents on page vi. The man pages are really just excerpts. The total FreeBSD man pages format to some 6,000 pages, far more than I could possibly put in this book. --- Changes: 1 November 1996 --- Major changes: 1. No difference in installation from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. When "The Complete FreeBSD" was written, you still needed a separate installation procedure for installing from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. This is no longer the case. The following modifications to the text come as a result: Page 14, table: Remove references to atapiflp.bat and inst_ide.bat. FreeBSD 2.1.5 no longer has separate boot floppies and installation procedures for ATAPI CD-ROM drives. Page 29: Remove the text "You will also need a different boot disk (/cdrom/floppies/atapi.flp). If you are creating the boot floppy with MS-DOS, you can use the file ATAPIFLP.BAT to create the floppy." The resultant text reads: IDE CD-ROM drives, more properly called ATAPI CD-ROM drives, are a new kind of CD-ROM drive which connect to the same controller as your IDE hard disk. Currently, FreeBSD 2.1.5 support for ATAPI CD-ROM drives is in alpha test. In order to install from an ATAPI CD-ROM, the drive must be jumpered as slave device. The installation may or may not work--please let us know if it doesn't, especially if you can give us some indication about the cause of the trouble. You can also create this boot diskette with the aid of the VIEW program (see Chapter 4, Installing FreeBSD, page 38). Page 35: Remove the points referring to atapi.flp. The text for the third box from the bottom of the page should read: If the direct boot doesn't work, you will need to make a boot floppy, which may be either a 3 1/2" or a 5 1/4" diskette. Create a boot floppy by copying the image /cdrom/boot.flp to diskette. Refer to Chapter 2, Installing FreeBSD, page 39. If you have an IDE (ATAPI) CD-ROM drive, see also the section on this kind of drive in Chapter 2, Installation Concepts, page 29. Page 43, after first example: remove references to ATAPI. The resultant text should read: Don't try this from MS Windows--the installation will fail with the message not enough memory. The boot will progress in the same way as if you had booted from floppy. The advantage of starting VIEW is that you get more documentation: ultimately VIEW will start INSTALL to boot the system. INSTALL doesn't always work. It depends on what drivers or TSRs are in your system. There's no reason to try changing your MS-DOS configuration to get it to work: it's a lot easier just to boot from floppy (see page 38 for further information). 2. Changes to section on installing a second disk. Page 170: The bottom paragraph should read: When the message Three seconds until format begins... appears, you can still change your mind by hitting CTRL-C before the message Formatting... appears. After that, you can't stop the format: most disks can perform a format by themselves, so scsiformat just issues the command to format the disk. Since there is no SCSI bus activity, the disk activity lamp will also not light up, and since the scsiformat program will just be waiting and not using any CPU time, you could easily get the impression the nothing is going on. The disk format can take a long time--depending on the disk, up to 90 minutes. Page 173, after table 10-5: Add the text If you're unlucky, fdisk will give you a completely different idea of the disk geometry from what scsiformat did. Possibly you can decide by examination which program is wrong, or maybe you can look at the dmesg output for a tie-breaker. In all cases I have seen, it has been fdisk that returned the incorrect information, and only when the disk did not have a valid partition table. For example, this happened with a disk formatted for BSD/OS: # scsiformat sd1 MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48 Mode data length: 35 Medium type: 0 Device Specific Parameter: 0 Block descriptor length: 8 Density code: 0 Number of blocks: 2051615 Reserved: 0 Block length: 512 PS: 1 Reserved: 0 Page code: 4 Page length: 22 Number of Cylinders: 1760 Number of Heads: 15 Starting Cylinder-Write Precompensation: 0 Starting Cylinder-Reduced Write Current: 0 Drive Step Rate: 0 Landing Zone Cylinder: 0 Reserved: 0 RPL: 0 Rotational Offset: 0 Reserved: 0 Medium Rotation Rate: 5400 Reserved: 0 Reserved: 0 # fdisk sd1 ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 0 is: sysid 255,(BBT (Bad Blocks Table)) start 1023744, size 2108293151 (1029440 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 768/ sector 15/ head 147; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 255 The data for partition 1 is: sysid 101,(Novell Netware 3.xx) start 1646292846, size 1814062195 (885772 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 356/ sector 50/ head 0; end: cyl 256/ sector 50/ head 114 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 0,(unused) start 0, size 0 (0 Meg), flag 61 beg: cyl 364/ sector 37/ head 98; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 0 The data for partition 3 is: Looking at the output from dmesg, we see: (aha0:1:0): "MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(aha0:1:0): Direct-Access 1001MB (2051615 512 byte sectors) sd1(aha0:1:0): with 1760 cyls, 15 heads, and an average 77 sectors/track In this case, then, you should use the parameters 1760 cylinders, 15 heads, and 77 sectors per track. What's less obvious here is the number of cylinders: fdisk doesn't have an opinion, and scsiformat and dmesg decided it has 2,051,615 sectors. Unfortunately, if you calculate the number according to the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, you'll come up with a different result: in this case 1760 x 15 x 77 = 2,032,800. How come? The disks report the total number of sectors, including spare tracks and such, but you can't use them all. The 2,032,800 is the correct number, and if you try to specify 2,051,615 to disklabel, it will spit out lots of messages about partitions which go beyond the end of the disk. Page 173, middle of page. Change the text after the "no magic" message to: The message no magic doesn't mean that fdisk is out of purple smoke. It refers to the fact that it didn't find the so-called magic number, which identifies the partition table. Since we don't have a partition table yet, this message isn't surprising. It's also completely harmless. Page 173, last example. Remove the first 22 lines, from ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* to, but not including the next occurrence of this line. Page 177, bulleted list: add the bullet * The total number of sectors in the partition. Calculate the number from the the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, even if you are using the whole disk: the output from dmesg or scsiformat is not correct here. Page 178, middle of page: after # disklabel -w -r /dev/sd1c cdc94161 insert When you do this, expect a kernel message (in high-intensity display) saying ``Cannot find disk label''. Since there isn't any label, it can't be found. This is another harmless chicken and egg problem. Page 182: In the section "Creating the file systems", add the first line to the example: # newfs /dev/rsd1h Further down the page, the last example should also read # newfs /dev/rsd1h 3. Other changes Page 41, after the heading "Installing from an MS-DOS partition". Add the text: It's also possible to install from a primary MS-DOS partition on the first disk. At the moment, it's not possible to install from extended partitions. Page 136, bottom: Add the text If you are changing the root password, be careful: it's easy enough to lock yourself out of the system if you mess things up, which could happen if, for example, you mistyped the password twice in the same way (don't laugh, it happens). If you're running X, open another window and use su to become root. If you're running in character mode, select another virtual terminal and log in as root there. Only when you're sure you can still access root should you log out. Page 152, just before the heading "The online manual". Add: Yes, you really need to run latex three times in order to build the cross-references. Page 199, the end of the multipage table is garbled. It should read: ze0 214 IBM/National Semiconductor PCMCIA ethernet controller zp0 214 3Com PCMCIA Etherlink III Page 205: Change the section titled "lpt0" to: lpt0 through lpt2 are the three printer ports you could conceivably have. Most people don't have three printers: you can comment out the definitions of the printers which you don't have. Page 208, bottom of page: swap the italicized headings "Adaptec 274X controller" and "Adaptec 1274X controller" Many thanks to Paul DuBois and Jerry Dunham for finding many of these bugs.

Dump uses a complex formula for mapping those numbers into what it thinks the tape will hold in terms of blocks. Use the newer and better B option. (I don't known when this got added, but FreeBSD was the first system I saw this on.) With B, you just specify how many blocks the tape can hold, a much cleaner way to do things. However, It's unclear to me if these "blocks" are 1K or 8K, or the size specified by b. I would assume they were the size specified by the b option, but some testing I did made me wonder if this was correct. > Just for fun, I've experimented with a variety of > different density/length values, none of which satisfy > me (yet).

A test program to fill the entire tape up took over 8 hours to run which works out to about 7.5 Meg/minute (or 122KBps). The trick I found was to use block sizes of at least 15K. I now normally use 32K blocks. Once you do this, the drive can stream (write without pausing and backing up). My test program was then able to fill the tape in 2 hours and 21 minutes. This works out to 27.9 meg/minute (476KBps). BTW, my test program wrote 126042 blocks of 32768 bytes for a total tape size of 4130144256 bytes, which is 3.9 Meg in 1024^2 terms. For dump, I'm using options like this: dump 0ubBf 32 1200000 /dev/nrst0 /dev/some-disk Since I put multiple backups on a single tape, the only thing important about the B number is that it's large enough to keep dump from stopping too soon. I have some questions about these drives (and the st driver) also. When the system boots, I get: ahc0:A:4: refuses syncronous negotiation. Using asyncronous transfers (ahc0:4:0): "HP T4000s 1.06" type 1 removable SCSI 2 st0(ahc0:4:0): Sequential-Access density code 0x0, drive empty Is this message about refusing sync[h]ronous negotiation normal for SCSI tape drives? Is it normal for this drive? And every time you access the drive when it's rewound, I get the kernel message: st0(ahc0:4:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:20,0 Invalid command operation code Can anyone tell me what's causing this? It doesn't seem to be a problem but it bugs me and I'd like to find a way to get rid of the message. I assume the st driver is sending some type of command to the drive that it's rejecting. Can anyone tell me what it might be trying to do or how I might go about figuring this out? And two or three times, I've gotten: st0(ahc0:4:0): timed out in dataout phase, SCSISIGI == 0x0 st0(ahc0:4:0): BUS DEVICE RESET message queued. Bus Device Reset Message Sent st0(ahc0:4:0): Bus Device Reset delivered. 1 SCBs aborted ahc0:A:4: refuses syncronous negotiation. Using asyncronous transfers When this happens, the drive stops working until I reboot. Any advise on what might be causing this and what might be done about it?

Edit /etc/master.passwd instead. /etc/passwd is generated from /etc/master.passwd when you run pwd_mkdb and isn't really all that important to most programs, which get their information from /etc/master.passwd. Don't edit /etc/master.passwd by hand, though--use the vipw command instead. This way you'll get file locking and pwd_mkdb will be run do make sure your database files are updated in addition to the ASCII file you work on.

Thanks in advance for the help. the best way? well, that depends how many list u want; as well as how often does the member list file has to be modified. The easiest way is, of course, setting up another account with no valid shell, and put all the addresses in ~newaccount/.forward another easy way for doing this is to put all the address as an alias entry in /etc/aliases another way, prolly a more elegent one, would be to make an alias file, and modify /etc/sendmail.conf to add the alias file to ur sendmail aliases. I have Majordomo running on Ngbert.org, and using Majordomo is prolly the best way if u don't have time for list management, or if u have multiple lists. hope this helps... /ayn -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBMquI4Z6qvWJYgw1hAQGGLwQAjqyHuHJOUOQvpoV0KFVp/AJQ3QzC68AM 2XkOuHomE5RtVxmflDGwxXM229KSB95b3MBXaitpcbG7vSSJkWhq1BJBI32q6OlR KDIQ9DatRZ9hxoGrbxg3mk6cBYGgGWBrfIZD8B7GT6z0OGe/HIQqkXkEgckoXq+6 5ATh2/Oblag= =ImqI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Andrew Y Ng | Carnegie Mellon University http://andrew.Ngbert.org | ECE major, Music minor campus ph: 412/862-2836 | voice mail: 412/268-6700 x30027 | talk: finger ayn@andrew.Ngbert.org * NGBERT.ORG! * | for online status http://www.Ngbert.org | finger ayn@CMU.EDU for more info... --------------------------X------------------------------------- NetBSD FreeBSD Linux NeXT Be Solaris !windoze nal.

I am attempting to install to an 850meg partition on a SCSI drive with the source on a 600meg partition on the same SCSI drive. For some reason, the install continually fails. The error message generated is that the install program can not find a /bin directory. I have _two_ copies of the source on my disk drive. One is in the g:\FreeBSD\bin directory, and the other is in g:\bin directory. Nothing else exists on the partition. (I figured I'd get a base system going and then install all of the options at a later time!) There isn't a problem detecting the adaptec controllers, the drives, or anything else in my system (although it doesn't seem that any Matrox MGA Millenium drivers exist for Xfree86...but that's later). The only thing I noticed is that on the ftp server, a file exists called bin.mtree (or something like that). Unfortunately, under DOS, this is truncated to bin.mtr (under win95, it is truncated as bin~1.mtr). Could the install program be failing to recognize this file? Any help would be greatly appreciated. As a side note, to your hardware compatibility list, you can add a verification for integrated (on the motherboard) adaptec aic-7860 ultra SCSI protocol chips. My system recognizes it flawlessly.

My first mail to questions NOT to be eaten en-route, and with an embarassingly RTFM-like answer! Thanks, Chris. Still, I guess it means anyone looking for information about GNUstep in the mail archives will get routed to me... I'm off to a more appropriate mailing list ... errr, anyone know which one it would be? GNUstep is (or will be) a language (objective-C) some class and GUI libraries and some programs, conforming to the OPENSTEP standard. I'm interested in a technical mailing list discussing problems with porting software to FreeBSD (e.g. availability of threads libraries, dynamic loading etc.) None of the lists described in handbook292 really fit; freebsd-ports seems closest.

I have a FreeBSD box running 2.1.6-RELEASE. I also have an HP5si with a JetDirect card in it. I have enabled TCP/IP on the printer, assigned it an ip, etc. Now, I want to print from the FreeBSD box to this printer. I have used the instructions in the handbook. I am just trying to print plain text, nothing fancy. The text gets to the printer, with one problem. At the end of a line of text, the printer does a newline, but not a carriage return. I have tried using an input filter, to no avail. Can you use an input filter on a remote printer? If not, any idea how I can get this to work? I really don't want to change the configuration of the printer, as it also serves the Novell LAN and the AS/400.

I second the question. What's the easiest way to provide four dial-in lines PPP on my FBSD box? Pentium 100 / 32 Meg RAM, all my servers are on an NT box. This is just for access.

The space needed for the source code and compile is probably less than 50 megabytes. You don't need to install the whole FreeBSD source tree to compile a kernel, you just need the kernel sources.

The command is "Escape" followed by "&k2G". I do this by using a filter containing: #!/bin/sh printf "\033E\033&k2G" cat - printf "\033E" If the filter doesn't work on the remote printer, you might try and get whatever is generating the print job to prepend the command.

I don't know the exact details, but in some computers the BIOS doesn't let FreeBSD see more than 16MB. You need to include a MAXMEN=, where the parameter is your memory size in Kbytes, and recompile the kernel. I have a compaq with 20MB and it has the same problem. I could not see all 20MB until I recompiled the kernel. This info is in the handbook (also the instruction on how to recompile the kernel). Cheers.

I went through the trouble of starting to modify the HTML FAQ to answer this and netscape-gold hung up so I quit. The short answer is that unrecovered read errors aren't reallocated by the disk drive firmware by the SCSI spec, and the OS can't do it since it doesn't know what to put there (remember - it can't read that block). Check the drive's mode page 1 (this part is in the FAQ) to make sure AWRE and ARRE are on to enable reallocation, and then restore the partition. -- Peter Dufault Real-Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc.

I'm running fetchmail 2.1 (but am planning to upgrade to 2.2 momentarily, since I had to hack fetchmail to get it to work) and I run fetchmail as a daemon from my rc.local at boot time. The command I use is: /usr/local/bin/fetchmail --fetchmailrc /usr/local/etc/fetchmailrc \ --idfile /usr/local/etc/fetchmailids \ --logfile /var/log/fetchmail \ --daemon 600 and /usr/local/etc/fetchmailrc is: poll MYSERVER protocol pop3 username MYUSERNAME password XXXXX is MYUSERNAME fetchall mda "/usr/libexec/mail.local -f fetchmail %s" Note that the version of fetchmail that you use will affect the fetchmailrc file -- I think 2.1 put back the `%s' argument for the mda program.

The appropriate people have these in their hands and we hope to see the necessary driver updates soon. I'd have to ask in hackers to see if this has actually been done.

The current backup programs are: tar & cpio dump/rdump amanda Amanda is a backup management program that is excellent for backing up several systems through one or more tapes on a tape host. Dump/rdump back up entire filesystems at once; rdump lets you backup one system to another. tar & cpio are pretty straightforward. The book "UNIX System Administration Handbook" contains some backup strategies, including incremental and Tower of Hanoi sequences. There is some information in the Handbook in Section 10.5. Hope this gets you started.

Try putting the freebsd\ heirarchy there. 2. Unless your BIOS supports this, you must keep the root partition below the 500mb mark, or else you won't be able to boot it. 3. Try downloading from ftp.freebsd.org instead of the mirrors.

You have told the tty driver, via stty, to turn on CR->NL mapping or some such thing. Try doing stty -a in a telnet session and stty -a on the console, and see what is different. Any differences you discover, especially in settings like icrnl, inlcr, etc., are probably causing the problem. You'll also want to determine where these are being set incorrectly, so you can solve the problem system-wide. I'm not sure where pty's like a telnet port pick up their initial stty settings, and don't have a FreeBSD system at hand right now. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

People have to run startx or log into a xdm-controlled terminal, so they're authenticated. The console is inherently insecure as the three finger salute works from there. They also probably have access to the power switch, so being really picky about console security isn't very worthwhile unless the machine is locked in a safe.

I can't help here. I use ftp to install my packages. All that I know is that if I'm using CD Audio (workman, xmcd, etc), the music stops when sysinstall starts. // Because you shouldn't use sysinstall after the system is up. I don't know // why that was put in the default /motd; it's completely wrong. Run // pkg_manage instead, or use pkg_add, pkg_delete, and so forth. What's the problem ? I often use sysinstall to install new packages. It's big advantage over pkg_add is that it takes care of getting the needed files and dependencies from ftp. pkg_add is more friendly when you already have the package on hands, and know that no dependencies are needed. BTW: Since we're talking about packages, I remembered: Why is pkg_manage not anymore installed by default ? The sources are still available, and it seens to work.

Once upon a time, I owned Here in Russia, UUCP is very popular. There is a very good and popular freeware UUCP client for MS-DOS called UUPC by Ache. A lot of people would not easily give UUCP up because you can have as many mailboxes as you wish, you can add and delete users without asking your provider every time you want to add a user. I value this freedom very much, so do a lot of people here.

It does not work. It seems that only one line per each interface is allowed in /etc/sysconfig. So, when I added a line like you advised, the system behaved as if this line were the only one for the lo0 interface. I am afraid the sysconfig mechanism is not designed for it. Indeed, what you do in sysconfig is assigning some string to a variable which is later read in some other startup files. Thus, think what happens, if you assign one value to a variable, then another value to the same variable. The first value will be just lost! May be I should put this line into /etc/netstart?

I have FreeBSD 2.1.5 CDs, ncr 5cC810 SCSI contoller, 2 SCSI HDs and a SCSI CD-Rom. Booted boot.flp. Lots of stuff detected, ncr0 detects the 2 HDs and CD and prints out info on each device. So I choose one of the installation options that leads me to want to fdisk something and am quickly informed I have no hard drives. Read the FAQ, doc on the boot floppy, etc... nothing obvious. Tried loading boot.flp followed by fixit.flp. Still no ncr0. Thought about mknod ncr0, but wasn't sure about major/minor. Seems strange that ncr0 is active early in the boot process, then goes away.

Attach with this e-mail are the samples from stty -a's from the server console and from the NCSA telnet session. The differences that I see are: CONSOLE NCSA TELNET -extproc extproc ignbrk -ignbrk I did a stty ignbrk in the NCSA telnet session. But still, I see double CR's or two CR's result in pressing the Enter key. e.g. $ results to $ $ $ _ Continuing, I did a stty -extproc in the NCSA telnet session again. This time, I did see some change. e.g. $ results to $ $ _ I tried running pine and whenever I press Enter, it no longer does two CR's. However, I noticed that I do not see anything I type anymore on the shell prompt but I could still issue commands. Both sessions now have same terminal settings. The main problem right now , although I don't see double CR's, is that I could no longer see anything I type.

To me, nearly all basic computing in an office needs wordprocessing, spreadsheeting and database (with programming language) software. Since Windows based programs exist everywhere, it would be important for me that such unix programs can readily be used (ie just as friendly) by staff who would be asked to convert over. So where can I find a thorough listing of such software or better still, are there people out there who are familiar with my situation and can point me to a suite (or good selection) of quality software products.

All the new apps are installed onto the 2.1R filesystem appears as network drive on the W95 box. However, I am experiencing very poor performance with the setup and tcpdump, trafshow and netstat -i reveal that there are *many* truncated-ip packets on the network, and netstat -i reports Ierrs is very high. This is true even when only 2 boxes are active on the network (ie others have been unplugged from the hub). One thing worths mentioning is that, there seems to be collisions hapenning as indicated by the LED on a 3COM hub, but netstat -i does shows a collision figure (Coll) of 0! Playing with Samba max xmit and ed0 mtu values do not seem to resolve the situation either. Currently, max xmit is set to 2048 instead of the default value of 65536. Can someone suggest some hints/tips ? Thanks in advance.

I've setup a dialin SunOS machine with mgetty-0.99. I use tip from a 2.1.5 Fbsd to call up that machine and to do a general purposes clear text login, but my login session just hangs after the SunOS run the login shell - I only get the characters typed at the tip echoed back to tip itself by, apparently, by the SunOS csh. I traced the character being sent by the SunOS mgetty, and I've got the following being generated by the SunOS end, just before printing the shell prompt on the tip screen. It looks like an escape sequence, whose net effect is to block tip blankly. ESC [1;24r ESC [ 24;1H CR Worth noting that whenever I call the SunOS mgetty with program different than tip, even on the same FreeBSD machine - i.e the term mode of ppp - the escape sequence is ignored and the call proceed without any hitch. Thanks for any suggestions.

Well first of all thanks for your help, this is not the first time I mail here :) Well I have quite a strange behaviour of my olvwm window manager. Is this a bug I guess ???? Well if I run olvwm as window manager and then I switch to text mode on virtual console with CONTROL+ALT+F1 or CONTROL+ALT+F2 then I come back to the X Window with CONTROL+ALT+F4...well if now I log out from the X server IT happens that when I am back to text mode no characters are displayed anymore on the console on the terminal if I type something on my keyboard, and also they not only are not displayed, but commands are not executed, seems like the keyboard is cutted off, but I Still can reboot with CONTROL+ALT+CANC. Well the thing is that this happens only if I use the olvwm and if I use the fvwm this does not happen...better saying this happen after exiting from X windows using the olvwm and first before exiting it switching to text mode. IF I do not switch with CONTROL+ALT+F1 etc, and I use X windows normally without switching to text, everything is ok when I exit the X server. I have a normal PC 486Dx33 Intel CPU, ISA Bus, 2 IDE disks, ET4000 video card, I mean normal hardware, but only 8 Mb RAM. _________________________________________________________________________ then here is some help I ask you :) I have installed the Open Look Window Manager olvwm as I told before. The thing is that I am unable to do things like PROPERTIES and SAVE_WORKSPACE 'cos the system tells me that I don't have the programs props and owplaces, where I can find these programs for FreeBSD? I have installed the XFree86 taking the binaries from ftp.fi.FreeBSD.org/pub/OS/4.3bsd/FreeBSD/XFree86 and uncompressing it and making everything like linking to X the SVGA server etc., I did the same way the documentation told me to extract and install the binaries, I mean I followed all the instructions I found on the documentation file. Then after installing the X server I installed the olvwm window manager getting it from packages distribution (ftp.fi.freebsd.org/pub/OS/4.3bsd/FreeBSD/ 2.1.6-RELEASE/packages) and I used the menue program /stand/sysinstall/ , and the installation has gone fine. OF course I installed all the xview libraries and clients, the packages xview-clients-3.2.1.tgz xview-config-3.2.1.tgz xview-lib-3.2.1.tgz THe only thing is that I can't configure to save the workspace or look at the properties 'cos seems like that in the binary distribution there aren't these 2 programs props and owplaces, so what I have to do? where I can find them? I would like to make the 2 things (props, owplaces) work on my olvwm. In the man pages I found out also informations about the script openwin, but I have not find it after installation so I did it myself as well as I didn't find iconedit even if there is a reference to it in the xview man page. Seems like the binary distribution is incomplete. now an other question. OFTEN when I run a X client I have this message: ld.so: warning: /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.0: minor version 0 older than expected 1, using it anyway. how come this happens?? I have the new release binaries 1.2.6-RELEASE and libs too I found in the same distribution, so why I have this warning message? well there is a thing to say. The XFree86 binaries I found were common to 2.1.* distributions and not specific for 2.1.6 release, might this one to be the reason of the warning message ?? Anyway I think FreeBsd to be better than Linux, I like more FreeBSD. A last question... I have applications such as xsysinfo xsysstats , but if I run the xman I can't find them there also with search option, while they are in normal man pages from vt100 terminal, how come? How come I Can't find the manual pages with the xman program? I hope you can help me. thanks a lot!! Riccardo from Italy.

You should get one of the O'Reilly books on X, e.g. XWindows System Administration. Also you could read man pages on the various applications. There are several ways to do such things in X. One is to write the appropriate resources into your .Xdefaults or .Xresources file, like: XTerm*cursorColor: #f03090 Xterm*Background: gold1 Xterm*Foreground: black Another method is using command line options like: xterm -cr magenta -fn terminal18 -fg green -bg black -sb -ls -geometry \ 80x24+0+0 -name login > > Thankx. > > -- > june > System Administrator > Adnet > > > -- --Chris Christoph P.

I planned on upgrading the CPU to a 586 from a 486. I thought that one way to do it is just transfer the hardisk to the new cpu. It turned out to be not the most appropriate but I can still make the FreeBSD box run with some added overhead. The problem with this is that I could no longer boot from the hard drive and that I have to use a bootdisk with FreeBSD kernel. The bootmanager seemed not working properly anymore. When I respond with F2 inorder to boot the FreeBSD, I just keep on seeing again an 'F?' prompt. I read about this and the problem is with a mismatch in the disk geometry. The BIOS view of the disk geometry does not agree with FreBSD's disk geometry. The only solution from the handbook is reinstall FreeBSD. Is there any other easier way like reinstalling the booteasy bootmanager?

I spent half an hour only a couple of days ago on a 2.1.5 machine to add alias to an ed1 driver which hung the machine /reliably/, every time. We ended up putting the the aliases on the loopback, which is where I first saw this behaviour with the SIOCAIFADDR error. Later, I tried the same thing on my -current machine and it worked fine, both on the ed driver and loopback - no hang, no unnecessary error message either. >> 2.

After a 4 day stint working with Digiboard PC/16Xe cards, I've come to the conclusion that with the driver provided with FreeBSD, they can't stream all the ports to 57600 at the same time (the ports just stop xmitting data, and ppp links and ftp transfers stall, then die). I've worked with the Boca ATIO66 cards, getting 12 ports per machine, but I'm looking for a better footprint - approaching 32-64 serial ports per pentium (or pentium pro) that can handle 57600+ on all channels at the same time. I'm assuming the problem with the Digiboard is due to the polled IO (certain channels just get "lost"), but I haven't verified this yet. All channels work fine independantly, and in small groups (<5 streaming at once). Anyhow, if anyone has any suggestions as to hardware that they've tried that will physically support this port density, please let me know. -Brian From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Dec 10 08:59:15 1996 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id IAA12902 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 10 Dec 1996 08:59:15 -0800 (PST) Received: from zwei.siemens.at (zwei.siemens.at [193.81.246.12]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id IAA12885 for ; Tue, 10 Dec 1996 08:59:08 -0800 (PST) Received: from sol1.gud.siemens.co.at (root@[10.1.143.100]) by zwei.siemens.at (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id RAA21401 for ; Tue, 10 Dec 1996 17:58:37 +0100 (MET) Received: from ws2301.gud.siemens.co.at by sol1.gud.siemens.co.at with smtp (Smail3.1.28.1 #7 for ) id m0vXVVk-0001zXC; Tue, 10 Dec 96 17:58 MET Received: by ws2301.gud.siemens.co.at (1.37.109.16/1.37) id AA144897081; Tue, 10 Dec 1996 17:58:01 +0100 From: "Hr.Ladavac" Message-Id: <199612101658.AA144897081@ws2301.gud.siemens.co.at> Subject: Re: using sysinstall, post install To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu Date: Tue, 10 Dec 1996 17:58:00 +0100 (MEZ) Cc: robert@nanguo.chalmers.com.au, freebsd-questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: from "Doug White" at Dec 9, 96 04:13:24 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24 ME8a] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk E-mail message from Doug White contained: > On Mon, 9 Dec 1996, Robert Chalmers wrote: > > > Is there some reason that sysinstall doesn't recoginse the CD once the > > system is up and running? > > Because you shouldn't use sysinstall after the system is up.

I have been having the hardest time trying to get freebsd to install. Here is what I have tried to do: I want to install freebsd to my laptop and so I downloaded all the necessary files to create the floppies. (obviously time consuming) I get the boot floppy to the installation menu just fine... configure everything as far as hardware just fine.. but when I go to choose the method of installation and choose floppy disk... it goes to the floppy drive and says: /bin /manpages /dict... ect... not found on disk. I have chosen the user installation setting and have places the appropriate files within a /bin directory on the floppy disk just like the install instructions say to. I have gone over the installation instructions again and again.. and can't see what I am doing wrong. Everything I am doing seems to be the right thing... but It still cant find whatever files it is searching for. I didnt even try other directories on the floppy disk (like /manpages) assuming that if it cant find the /bin directory... then it wont find any other. Help! I really want to learn more about UNIX and although I have linux, I would much rather install freebsd Question: I have a backpack cdrom drive that works off of the parallel port of my laptop. They dont have drivers for unix so I assumed that a floppy disk install was the way to go. Ftp install is very complicated and I cant seem to get that to work either... Anyway... please help.

FreeBSD has a problem accessing DOS filesystems that have a cluster size exceeding 16K.

I haven't read the documentation lately, but I have installed 2.1.6 off of floppies for a client.

Don't know why this was a problem. As long as your FAT/VFAT partition is of type 1, 4, or 6 it should be accessible, even if there are long filenames. > I also tried to connect > via PPP and do an ftp install; for some reason when I made a PPP connection > it would drop carrier immediately...I know that the split files are not > corrupt; I concatenated them and untar.gz'ed them....Does anybody have any > tips? ...I've read the documentation quite thoroughly, and the only thing I > know to do is to try to figure out how to manually install using the shell > from the fixit floppy (which I expect shall be fairly difficult as I > have absolutely no FreeBSD experience...) > Any help is appreciated greatly. If you don't mind the extra effort, installing off of floppies is probably the way to go, since it is the most certain to work. -- Robert Nordier From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Dec 10 10:20:44 1996 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id KAA19381 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 10 Dec 1996 10:20:44 -0800 (PST) Received: from dyson.iquest.net (dyson.iquest.net [198.70.144.127]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id KAA19374 for ; Tue, 10 Dec 1996 10:20:42 -0800 (PST) Received: (from root@localhost) by dyson.iquest.net (8.8.2/8.6.9) id NAA00352; Tue, 10 Dec 1996 13:20:28 -0500 (EST) From: "John S.

However, there are still some PCI bus problems on the PPro (actually the Natoma/Orion chipsets.) I think that if you are "pushing" the PCI bus, the Triton-II on a P5 will do you better.

It performs okay, but is about 1 generation behind. The 2.2 series is much better and has some improvements for PPros. (Global TLB bits, use of bswap, etc...) 2.2 will also work better on large systems.

We have P5/166 here and one P6/200 and the first results when people compiled their large physics programs (which are doing very little disk i/o) were disappointing. They ran some Monte Carlos over 20 hours and it turned out that one P5/166 was slightly faster than tha P6/200 (!). I then brought pgcc on the PPRO and recompiled all libm (msun) with -O2 -ffast-math -m486 and linked the program statically. With this program then we went on the two machines and the PPro/200 (256K cache) turned out to be 1.5 time faster than th P5/166. I wonder where I might squeeze out the last microseconds. Perhaps carefully selecting the bzero optimization? > > > > ------------------------------------------------------ > Simon Lindgren | Webarkitekt/Produktsjef > lindgren@istudio.no | Internett Studio AS > http://www.sn.no/~lindgren | http://www.istudio.no/ > ------------------------------------------------------ > > --Chris Christoph P.

The difference is that it uses packet driver shipped by the card vendor, so nearly all cards are supported. The drawback is you can't run it from DO$ prompt, only EPROM or rawritten floppy is supported. I've been thru a difficult time and don't have time to check it up.
