The drive already has a 10Meg DOS partition on it. The machine is an old Compaq SX/25 with 2 x 313Meg Maxtor ESDI drives in it on seperate drive controllers. It has 10 Meg of RAM. I have tried using the geometry that is detected by the install process and also I have tried the settings that I have worked out from the drive info. The Compaq diagnostics say that the system is fine. I have tried installing FreeBSD on both drives and it makes no difference. Originally I had another O/S on the drives called BOS (proprietry) and that had worked fine and as mentioned above DOS works fine. I am trying to install FreeBSD 2.2.2 from the CD. Any suggestions (apart from go out and buy a more up to machine ;-) would be welcome. Hugh.

On the contrary, at the moment there are lots of negative experiences with it going around. I would avoid the K6 in the short term, as current parts appear to have either a thermal problem or a basic bug.

Is there a way to |force the Netscape windows to open at 800x600 rather than its default |size. For Netscape, couple of things. 1) Use the cmd line option -geometry as another poster suggested, 2) You can put something like this in your .Xdefaults: Netscape.geometry: 800x600+0+0 (don't forget to log out and back in, or "xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults" to cause it to take effect), or 3) you can create a file called "Netscape" that has the above Netscape.geometry line in it and put it in your X resource file search path. E.g.: mkdir ~/cfg/app-defaults echo "Netscape.geometry: 800x600+0+0" > ~/cfg/app-defaults/Netscape setenv XAPPLRESDIR ~/cfg/app-defaults I prefer option #3 because it keeps my .Xdefaults from being a huge mess (segmenting them by application), reduces possibilities of resource conflicts, reduces application startup time, and avoids having to run anything to retest after changing resources. Most other X apps work similarly. You just need to check the man page to determine what the application class name is (e.g. "Netscape") so you know what to name the file.

This is best addressed on the website. Allow me to give you my $.02. What kind of car would you rather drive for business, a volkswagen or mercedes? What kind of car would you rather drive for pleasure, a volkswagen or a mercedes? If you answered mercedes, then FreeBSD may be for you. Beware! You cannot get a mercedes without making a large investment. FreeBSD requires that you learn alot about UNIX in a short period of time. The nice thing about the mercedes is that it doesn't break. FreeBSD will be running long after your winbox crashes and crashes and crashes again. The nice thing about a volkswagen is that it doesn't require a large investment to get started. If you can't do without the familiarity of win95, then FreeBSD may not be for you. The bad thing about win95 is its propensity for stalling on the "information superhighway". (I had to do it. Sorry) If hammering away on a keyboard and reading volumes of technical documents is anti-enjoyable to you, FreeBSD is probably not for you. The issues that you must address are personal in nature. The technical issues are that FreeBSD is: more stable costs less money has great technical support via this list is multi-user has better multitasking is more secure. Hope this helps you decide.

It is not RedHat specific. It is free for the net. You can get fvwm95 from the fvwm95 website. Fvwm95 is really only a slight rehash of fvwm2. You can read the fvwm2 site for info as well. I used fvwm so I hope what I say applies to fvwm95 as well. In my experience you can install it on your FreeBSD machine without a hitch. I am guessing that 'The Next Level' that you referred to is just a configuration that is established in your '.fvwm95rc' file. After installing fvwm95 on your FreeBSD box copy your '.fvwm95rc' file to your FreeBSD home directory and pull the trigger.

My situation is as a 'new user' of FreeBSD and also a user of V Communications Inc.'s "System Commander", I find no reference to Free BSD in the user's manual of System Commander. There are references to configurations with this product for the following operating systems: Coherent Unix - SCO Open Server Unix System V - Novell UnixWare - Linux and Solaris. No references to FreeBSD, however. I am familiar on a basic level with multiple operating system installations on the same PC and run WINNT WKSTN 4.0, MSDOS, WIN3.11 and Win95 in various setups. I am not at this point conversant with FreeBSD installations, however I am on the curve and getting up to speed at present. Any references or direction regarding this issue will be appreciated.

Netscape 3.01? Easiest way to do it is to move your downloaded binary into /usr/ports/distfiles/ then "cd /usr/ports/www/netscape3" and "make install".

Problem: /etc/fstab (created by installation process) lists /cdrom and wcd0 (my memory) as the last structures in the list, after /proc. But when I boot, mount(1) shows everything but /cdrom. In 2.1.0, if no CD was in the drive, the system would come up single-user, complaining. In 2.2.2, with a CD in the drive, it comes up with no complaint at all, but /cdrom isn't mounted. Later, if I do mount -a, or mount_cd9660 /dev/wcd0a /cdrom, it mounts quite politely. 2 questions: 1. Is there a way to have a CD automatically mounted, e.g. listed in /etc/fstab, but yet not kill a boot if no CD is present? Is 2.2.2 behavior different from 2.1.0? 2. In RELNOTES.TXT, something was said about the wcd driver being of alpha quality. Is it feeling better yet? And hay, I REALLY admire the installation software! Where can I read about it?

First of all,when I run moused I can't use my mouse in X until I kill it.Second,when I modify the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc file and use startx I get into graphics mode for about 1 second,then back to text mode as if I normally exited (no error messages etc). That happens even if I put a comment on the xterm -g blah blah line or if I generally do something to the file.This never happened to the 2.1.5 release where I could freely add a fvwm95 line in my xinitrc while now if I even save the file without changing anything I can't get into X using it. (# xinit still works but the #xinit /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc doesn't).

However, if you act fast, and the file is important enough to justify this extremely labor intensive method, the following has worked for me. Immediately cease any activity that would cause further writes to the file system containing the deleted file. The best solution is to unmount the file system. I used dd and GNU's split to copy the raw data, in fairly easily managed chunks -- say 100K each, from the slice (/dev/rwds... or /dev/rsd...) to a scratch area. Obviously, the scratch area needs to be larger than the original file system, or you'll have to do this a section at a time. Then, using GNU's fgrep (I don't know if the stock fgrep will handle files containing mucho binary data) I look for a string that I know was in the file in question. This assumes that we're dealing with a text file... a binary file would be next to impossible to deal with. This identifies the chunks of the original file system that may contain the data from the deleted file. Next, using an editor (I use vim) I edit the likely chunks, search for the data, and reconstruct the contents of the deleted file. I have successfully used this to recover the contents of a file that I had spent much time just editing, and then deleted it ;-( Another possible solution would be to read the source and determine what happens when a file is deleted from the file system type in question. Long ago, using system 5's file system type, it was possible to recover a file because the file's blocks were added to the free list in a predictable way. If nothing wrote to the drive after a file was deleted, the file could be recovered if one acted quickly.

I asked this question once before with no responses, but this bit me again just now. What happens is this: the system suddenly cannot reach any host. Ping reports that my router (which is functioning perfectly) is down. After this point, rebooting the system does NOT fix the problem; the rc.network hangs on starting routed. It will eventually reboot correctly again, but it may take a dozen tries (including power-offs and reprogramming the NIC from DOS, neither of which seem to make any difference). I've only seen this problem since upgrading to 2.2 with then new driver (ie0) - I'm using an Intel EtherExpress 16, which used to be the ix0 driver. I'm running 2.2-STABLE. Between reboots of BSD, testing the NIC under DOS shows it to be completely functional. This last time, the lockup was triggered after I exited a session of trafshow. When I tried to start trafshow again, the syslog showed: Jul 27 14:41:24 Rigel /kernel: ie0: promiscuous mode enabled Jul 27 14:41:24 Rigel /kernel: ie0: receive descriptors out of sync at 0 Jul 27 14:41:24 Rigel /kernel: ie0: reset I then downed the interface and brought it back up - it made no difference Jul 27 14:46:20 Rigel routed[61]: interface ie0 to 205.148.224.9 turned off Jul 27 14:46:24 Rigel routed[61]: interface ie0 to 205.148.224.9 restored Jul 27 14:47:27 Rigel reboot: rebooted by dbabler Jul 27 14:47:27 Rigel syslogd: exiting on signal 15 >From then on it took a dozen reboots to get it working again (again, by nothing I did - it just finally started working again).

From: dkelly@HiWAAY.net Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Sun, 27 Jul 1997 18:27:11 -0500 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have a non-FPU NexGen PCI-90 with parity memory and the NexGen MB supports parity memory. But the last month or so I've had system crashes under FreeBSD (don't run anything else). And wonder what a parity error would look like? What has been happening is when running X, I'd click a button in exmh or similar in Netscape. Usually something that would cause a bit of disk activity. But the mouse freezes. And 15 or 20 seconds later the system reboots. No error messages on the screen. No beeps. No kernel crashdump. Its as if the system clock had stopped and a watchdog reset the system. Agressive net surfing in Netscape 3.01 will trigger the problem. Opening a new window for each link seems to cause this to happen earlier. Last night I left a "make world" running in single user mode when I went to bed. Found out this morning via uptime the system rebooted about 2:30AM. So the problem is probably not due to X. System is a NexGen Nx586 P90 with PCI. Mach32 video. Adaptec 2940 with BIOS rev 1.10. An ATAPI CDROM, HD and tape are SCSI. An STB 4-com is on IRQ 12. An NE2000 clone is at the standard ed0 parameters but only a terminator is connected to its port. This hardware has run continuously the past 18 months or so without any crashes. The problem started about the time I cut down from 48M to 32M of memory by removing two 8M SIMMs. Am also wondering as I have 64M of swap configured, exactly twice my core. Have noticed sysinstall never creates a clean multiple size of core for swap. Should I add a swap file to make it bigger and break this multiple? Any good suggestions for memory test? It passes with pccheck-lite, which Amd/NexGen offers. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have tried running up 3-SNAP, and get the now well reported timeout on the ethernet interface. This is not the only problem. The one about no root group, the one about the sys.conf file being missing, and others too numerous to mention. The thing I notice is that the same problems, and others are cropping up on releases including 2.2.1, release and stable it seems. Now this seems a contradiction in terms, caling something stable, or release(ready) when it is obviously not. It concerns me that FreeBSD is perhaps being rushed to release. Things linke the sysconf file, and root groups are so simple that they should have been caught well before release! I watched another *nix O/S die because the releases were rushed onto the market without full and complete checking. At least the installation process should allow users to get a basic system up and running, without having to do a course in Unix. I mean, do I need to do a course in fluid dynamics to put fuel in my car? An aweful lot of people come to FreeBSD as a first time exercise, and to get bitten with a system that is apparently getting more holes in it as it goes along will do nothing but deter people from using what up to now has been an excellent system. I know that FreeBSD is largely a group exercise, but I would hope that there is some project control being applied. Up to 2.2-SNAP, things seemed to be holding together, but the fulurry of simple problems since, and more serious problems, like ethernet cards timing out, would seem to indicate that control is being dropped somewhere. This message is probably out of line, and I'm not FreeBSD bashing. I use it, and have done so for years now. My operational system is in fact 2.2-SNAP, and it runs without fault. In fact both servers do, and have done for ages. I must confess though that I am loath to update to anything later than the 2.2-snap.

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!!??)".

The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, "The Complete FreeBSD", published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. Since going to press, a number of anomalies have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the first edition, formatted on 19 July 1996 (at the time of writing the only edition that is available). If you have this book, please check this list. I apply these changes to the current source of the book, so if you buy a later edition, they will be in it as well. If you find a bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me (grog@freebsd.org). --- Changes: 5 December 1996 --- Page 192: Middle of the page, the indented small print comment. Replace with: If your system doesn't have the directory /usr/src/sys, then the kernel source has not been installed. To install from the CD-ROM, perform the following steps: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys # ln -s /usr/src/sys /sys # cd / # cat /cdrom/dists/src/sys.* | tar xzvf - The symbolic link /sys for /usr/src/sys is not strictly necessary, but it's a good idea: some software uses it, and otherwise you may end up with two different copies of the sources. --- Changes: 28 November 1996 --- Page 135, second paragraph: replace with In addition, you may need to create the device nodes if they don't already exist. By default, the system contains four virtual terminal devices in the /dev directory. If you use more than this number, you must create them, either with MAKEDEV (see page 162), or with mknod (see page 573). When calculating how many devices you need, note that if you intend to run X11, you need a terminal device without a getty for the X server. For example, if you have enabled /dev/ttyv3, /dev/ttyv4, and /dev/ttyv5, and you also want to run X, you will need a total of 7 virtual terminals (/dev/ttyv0 through /dev/ttyv6). With MAKEDEV, you specify how many virtual terminals you need: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV vty7 make 7 vtys Alternatively, you can do this with mknod: # cd /dev # ls -l ttyv0 crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 0 Nov 28 10:25 ttyv0 # mknod ttyv3 c 12 3 # mknod ttyv4 c 12 4 # mknod ttyv5 c 12 5 # mknod ttyv6 c 12 6 In this example, you list the entry for /dev/ttyv0 in order to check the major device number of the virtual terminals (that's the 12, in this example; it may change from one release to another). You need to specify this number to mknod. For more details about major and minor device numbers, see page 160. --- Changes: 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.

Yes, quite nicely, I must say! I've been running 2.2.2-R with the PAO kernel on an Armada 1130 for a little over a month now, without any significant problems. The two big obstacles for me were getting the software on the machine (as I bought it without an ethernet card or CDROM drive) and then finding the right settings for XFree86. The former was solved with a network install at my workplace with a serial link (although I could have saved tons of time with PLIP had a "Laplink" cable been available), and the latter was solved by examining comparable XF86Config files people had posted for the Armada 4120 -- I'd be glad to send a copy of mine to anyone interested. I'm also not entirely convinced that the battery recharges properly during suspend mode (my understanding -- or lack thereof -- is that APM regulates the pace of recharges so as to preserve battery life), but I haven't had enough time to really tell; I rarely ever run it on battery anyway. In any case, FreeBSD does in fact work wonderfully on the Armada 1130.

You can get FreeBSD onto a 170mb volume if you limit yourself to the most basic distributions and don't install the X Window System. FreeBSD comes with a boot selector you can install that will allow you to select between Windows and FreeBSD on startup.

Then you copy the patches over to /dos/ultrasnd/midi and playmidi will pick them up and load them. Of course, you have to have as much memory as you can pack on the card (1mb on the old GUSs I think).

I was quickly depressed when I vistited the QuickTime VR web page (http://quicktime.apple.com) and discovered that UNIX, of any flavor, was not supported. However, MacOS (I guess they have to support MacOS ;-) ) and Windoze (95 & NT) were both supported. Upon reading there FAQ, they said that they were "reviewing the possiblity" of supporting UNIX and, if there were enough interest they probably would. I guess what I am trying to do is to suggest to everyone a friendly e-mail be sent to remind these guys that there are a lot of us in the UNIX world that would enjoy there product.

On the cdroms (I don't have the 3.0 snap) there's a directory /cdrom/packages/All that lists all packages alphabetically. There's usually an INDEX file with a brief description. There may also be a /cdrom/packages/*/ where * is the category, e.g., editors, lang, www. There's also /cdrom/ports/*/*/pkg/DESCR, where /*/*/ are the category and name of the port. This DESCR provides the most information; most ports are available as packages, but not all. The packages install as binaries; the ports use source and get compiled. In both cases the package is registered in /var/db/pkg. If you installed the ports collection in /usr/ports, the port descriptions will be in /usr/ports/*/*/pkg/DESCR. I once wrote a script to collect all the descriptions in a category but can't find it. > I also don't want to execute any commands as root > (I have /usr/local chmod to 777.) > > I read the handbook and faq, and it didn't say much > on how to deal with packages (unless you wanted to > write a new port...lots of information on that). > > marty leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com > Don't confuse education with schooling. > Milton Friedman to Yogi Berra Annelise From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jul 27 23:57:34 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id XAA13983 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 27 Jul 1997 23:57:34 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ridge.spiritone.com (ridge.spiritone.com [205.139.108.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id XAA13978 for ; Sun, 27 Jul 1997 23:57:31 -0700 (PDT) Received: from joes.users.spiritone.com (joes.users.spiritone.com [205.139.111.224]) by ridge.spiritone.com (8.8.6/8.8.6) with ESMTP id XAA06175; Sun, 27 Jul 1997 23:56:50 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from joes@localhost) by joes.users.spiritone.com (8.8.6/8.8.6) id XAA19173; Sun, 27 Jul 1997 23:57:51 -0700 (PDT) From: Joseph Stein Message-Id: <199707280657.XAA19173@joes.users.spiritone.com> Subject: Spam filtering with procmail (Was re: something else :) In-Reply-To: from Annelise Anderson at "Jul 27, 97 10:50:54 pm" To: andrsn@andrsn.stanford.edu (Annelise Anderson) Date: Sun, 27 Jul 1997 23:57:51 -0700 (PDT) Cc: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL31H (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > Subject: Re: wu-ftpd doesn't tar or compress Yeah, that's it...

For example, I can check the quota on the cnhost user and I get: Disk quotas for user cnhost (uid 1117): none But if I do an edquota on them, I see: Quotas for user cnhost: /usr: blocks in use: 0, limits (soft = 20480, hard = 30720) inodes in use: 0, limits (soft = 0, hard = 0) /var: blocks in use: 0, limits (soft = 1024, hard = 10240) inodes in use: 0, limits (soft = 0, hard = 0) And if I save this, I *still* get Disk quotas for user cnhost (uid 1117): none On most other users, the quotas work just fine, only on certain users does this happen and only on this one machine that I can find. Also, repquota totally ignores these users, while on other users with no quota it at least reports their disk usage, e.g. Block limits File limits User used soft hard grace used soft hard grace root -- 365381 0 0 38272 0 0 apache -- 3535 0 0 748 0 0 Anyone know why this would happen? Is there any need to "rebuild" the quota database after adding a user? It seems that the quota system doesn't know these users exist. BTW, I originally initialized user IDs 1000-32000 with the "prototype" option of edquota to be the same as the edquota shown above.

No more than with any other single-channel adapter. If you want *true* simultaneous transfers, you need more then one adapter, or more then one channel on the adapter, like the Adaptech 3xxx series of "server" adapters. -- Joshua Fielden, shag@concentric.net SCSI is *not* magic.

I'm running this on a 486DX2-66 currently. Well, I suppose if I have to, I will... except that it worked flawlessly up until the driver was merged with the ix cards.

If you look at /dev/wcd0c with 'ls -l' you can see why it is that you haven't got permission to write to it. The quick and easy fix is to: chmod 666 /dev/wcd0c Of course your security policy might require a bit more rigour than that! ;) Joe -- Josef Karthauser Technical Manager Email: joe@pavilion.net Pavilion Internet plc.

You'll have to read the modem's manual and figure out how to put it into a "good" state by default. You may need to lock your DTR speed. The current version of ppp has a "set hangup" command for ``reconditioning'' your modem if it's not able to reset itself on hangup. If Winders wasn't happy with it, it indicates that the AT commands are something you'll have to go through one by one :-O > Thanks, > > Jerry Bell > jerry@reillyplating.com > -- Brian , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....

You can set the port number with the -p option, but it always uses UDP, whereas SMTP is usually a TCP service. You'll note from /etc/services, though, that smtp is also defined as the same port number for UDP, so there's a chance that you'll find the culprit with traceroute -p 25 dest-system 25 is the SMTP service number--traceroute doesn't understand the service name.

It's almost certainly performing a DNS lookup. You can compile a non-DNS version of sendmail if you want. Check the documentation in the source tree.

I paid $499 for this tape unit, including OS/2 software. I have seen it internal for $379 (don't remember where though). On OS/2 with fast compression (software) I almost get 40MB/min. I have only used tar to backup on FreeBSD so I don't know how fast it went. Can anyone recommend backup software for FreeBSD?

Adaptec's propaganda would have one believe > that this is a different board from the 2940 (non-Ultra). In > particular, is simultaneous data transfer between multiple SCSI > devices possible with this board? Please define, "simultaneous data transfer". If you mean, "two bytes from two devices to two targets, this very instant" then no. Considering Chuck went on to discuss tape drives in his next paragraph I'd guess he means something more on the lines of, "can I backup/restore my hard drive to/from a tape drive on the same SCSI bus?" To which, the answer is "yes". While two devices can't talk at the same time on the same bus, good SCSI devices should not occupy the SCSI bus any longer than it takes to send a command. Or to reply to a command. FreeBSD should send your hard drive a request for data, then both jump off the SCSI bus. When the HD has the requested data it negotiates and claims the SCSI bus and sends the data to the SCSI card and FreeBSD. In between the tape drive gets its opportunities to do the same. But the real beauty of SCSI for real multi-user mult-tasking OS's such as FreeBSD is to consider the above and compound it with the realization multiple commands can be queued to the SCSI device(s) before the first reply arrives. And the SCSI device isn't required to reply to the requests in the same order they were sent. Haven't heard of it being used in an OS, but a host can instruct two SCSI devices to send data to each other rather than to the host. Imagine telling the HD to dump itself to the tape drive. While dumping, the host has nothing do to. Typically it copies the data in from the HD and copies it out to the tape. Considering the HD knows almost nothing about file structure (have heard some know FAT filesystems in order to better guess caching) this isn't very useful. We have at work a number of TTI (brand) Exabyte tape drives that have some kind of controller with buttons and display for error rates & such. Dual TTI tape drive boxes can duplicate a tape from one to the other without the computer host being the wiser. I'm guessing they use a serial interface Exabyte provides to issue commands to both tape drives, and then the transfer goes thru the SCSI bus. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

I had two problems with mrtg; one is that is assumes malloc()d data is zeroed (simply replace all malloc(x) calls with calloc(1,x). This screws up the initial creation of the logfiles. You may not see this unless you have MALLOC_OPTIONS set to 'J'. The other problem I had was with the authors use of ` $variable = sprintf("%.0f",eval($$rcfg{target}{$rou})); ' in a few places. On one of the perls I tried (5.002 on a Linux box), the sprintf would return 0 if the number being printed was above LONG_MAX. Try changing the assignments to ` $variable = eval($$rcfg{target}{$rou}; ' and see what happens. After I fixed those two items, it worked great. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jul 28 19:04:57 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id TAA24304 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 28 Jul 1997 19:04:57 -0700 (PDT) Received: from as5200-port-254.no.neosoft.com (as5200-port-254.no.neosoft.com [206.27.167.254]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id TAA24126 for ; Mon, 28 Jul 1997 19:03:45 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from conrads@localhost) by as5200-port-254.no.neosoft.com (8.8.6/8.8.6) id VAA10104; Mon, 28 Jul 1997 21:01:52 -0500 (CDT) Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 1.2-alpha [p0] on FreeBSD Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit MIME-Version: 1.0 In-Reply-To: <199707282353.BAA22720@helbig.informatik.ba-stuttgart.de> Date: Mon, 28 Jul 1997 21:01:50 -0500 (CDT) Organization: NeoSoft, Inc.

It may not have made it to this side of the world, we were on vacation, you didn't supply enough info, etc. Please repost your problem and we'll (or at least I) will take a look at it.

Any clues, please? I don't know about /, you may have some leftovers in /tmp. For /stand, your listing is correct -- it's a crunched hardlined binary (see the link count in the second column). Also, you can use Cntl-Alt-Backspace to kill the X server, or hit Cntl-Alt-F1 to get your console back. Then kill xdm or X and you should be OK.

Apparently the new de driver was merged in to -STABLE so yours is supported in 100mbit mode now. Otherwise it would have misdetected it as a 21140 and you wouldn't be talking to me now :) The link detection is new; I know of many instances I've pulled out my 21040 and the computer never knew the difference. :) I suspect you could root around in the de code and figure out where it does that and disable it.

My X-server crashes much harder than this - it becomes entirely non-responsive to all key combinations that I have ever tried, including the ones you suggest. I believe the OS is still running in the background, but is entirely inaccessible. Does this seem plausible? I reported a similar problem with Xperfmon++ a while ago; it caused similar crashes. Jordan thought I had run out of swap space, and that FreeBSD was still running. I have now put a cron task to write the current date and time into a file every minute. If I get another crash, I will wait a few minutes, reboot, and see if the OS was in fact still running.

Thank you in advance. The driver you're looking for is the dgb driver. You'll have to add this to your kernel config file and rebuild. I think the Digi is a PCI board so device dgb0 should do it. Otherwise you'll have to add "on isa? port 0xyyy irq z" to the list.

This depends on who causes the collisions. netstat -i counts the number of collisions that the interface directly causes, while the hub light looks across all the ports, including the incoming one. If you're the only one on the hub, then, hm.... it's quite possible it's not counting that, but I'm sure it worked when I had a 3c900 in this box a while back.

This is a misassumption. You know it's not finding the address of the host. There are many reasons for that, few of which would mean you're not "connecting to the Internet". If you're getting the PPP prompt, you can be sure the link is up. The next things to do are: 1. Try to ping the (numeric IP) address of the other end of your link. You should know this address, unless somebody has given you a dynamic IP address. But you can always get it like this: # ifconfig tun0 tun0: flags=8151 mtu 1500 inet 139.130.136.133 --> 139.130.136.129 netmask 0xffffffc0 The address you're looking for is to the right of the --> 2. If you can't ping this address, you should check the routing tables. You should find something like: # netstat -rn Routing tables Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 139.130.136.129 UGSc 7 6 tun0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 79 lo0 If you don't have a default entry, you can add it with # route add default 139.130.136.129 You should then check your ppp config; in the file /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup you should have # Otherwide, simply add peer as default gateway. # MYADDR: add 0 0 HISADDR 3. If your link is up and you can ping the other end, try something more ambitious. Say, hub.freebsd.org. Stick with the IP address for the moment, 204.216.27.18: # ping 204.216.27.18 PING 204.216.27.18 (204.216.27.18): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 204.216.27.18: icmp_seq=0 ttl=245 time=500.876 ms 64 bytes from 204.216.27.18: icmp_seq=1 ttl=245 time=441.093 ms 64 bytes from 204.216.27.18: icmp_seq=2 ttl=245 time=530.293 ms ^C --- 204.216.27.18 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 441.093/490.754/530.293/37.112 ms If this doesn't work, check with your ISP. Probably his routing has problems, but possibly there is something wrong further away in the net. If you get this far, you are connected to the Internet. 4. The next step is to get DNS working. Since you don't mention it, I assume you are not running a name server. Get the address of a name server from your ISP. If he won't or can't give it to you (for example, because it's the middle of the night), use the name servers for psu.edu. Write the following in the file /etc/resolv.conf: domain psu.edu nameserver 130.203.1.4 nameserver 128.118.25.3 The two addresses are for the name servers isengard.cse.psu.edu and otc2.psu.edu. Now you can try pinging by name: # ping hub.freebsd.org PING hub.freebsd.org (204.216.27.18): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 204.216.27.18: icmp_seq=0 ttl=245 time=761.267 ms ^C --- hub.freebsd.org ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 50% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 761.267/761.267/761.267/0.000 ms 5. If all this works, fire up netscrape again. This time it should work. > Then after about 5 minutes the connection breaks and the error log > says "Too many packets lost". This is funny. It doesn't really tie in with the information above. But ppp will hang up after an idle period anyway, so maybe you're misinterpreting this information. > I know using netscape with Windows that I had to use an internet > socket program "Winsock" and was wondering do I need something like > this for UNIX? No, no, no. That's because Windows isn't an operating system. They copied sockets from BSD, but they didn't do it right. In BSD, sockets are an integral part of the operating system. If you get as far as having the PPP prompt from the ppp program, your software configuration is good enough.

After fixing the missing /usr/include/sys/stat.h it completed without errors. I wasn't single-user, but apart from X-Windows nothing else was happening on the machine. Then I rebooted, and now get: mount: exec mount_ not found in /sbin, /usr/sbin: No such file or directory and startup fails, and various other commands give bad system calls. This is the second time I've tried this sequence of events, with the same results. So, what did I forget to do? And is there a way to get the current mess working rather than reinstall? Suggestions appreciated. -- Martijn Koster, m.koster@pobox.com PS: I've since found /tutorials/upgrade/upgrade.html, but can't see anything to obvious...

The ports usually come with information in the form of manual pages, which should install on the system when the port is installed. There may also be other files, usually in a subdirectory called doc, or there may be a file called README. Check the PLIST (packing list) file in the pkg directory for a list of files that are part of the port. The documentation for the port may also reference a FAQ available on the Internet somewhere that might have useful information, or a mailing list to which you can subscribe, or a newsgroup. These may be useful for a while for getting a port configured, if it is a complicated one.

I'll forward you an email message in which I tried to explain my configuration. To enable *dynamic* IP addresses, I had to patch the isdnpppd (sys_bisdn.c) to reenable some "#if 0" - "#endif" enclosed code. And I had to patch the ipp driver.

What type of video card do you have? I'm not Mike, but I thought I'd throw my $0.02 in. I have experienced even harder lockups than this, to the point of losing task switching (e.g. I'm playing midi music, and it stops, and _all_ drive accesses stop).

In what areas do you want to achieve optiimization? FP performance? Code size? Code speed? Optimizing for C is generally speaking also good for f77 (f2c).

I'm reposting it, hoping for a little more response. I love running UNIX and especially FreeBSD, but instead of a boot manager I currently unplug my cdrom drive to power my root disk for UNIX or unplug my root drive to power my cdrom drive when I want to play a computer game. Not very user friendly, and very rough on the power connector. --- repost: --- I have been arguing with my system for nearly a week now, so I guess I need some professional feedback. I'll try to keep this short, but I spend so much time on it that I may need some venting ;) I have a system with two SCSI disks, sd0 and sd1. This configuration ran and installed flawlessly for a year or two. Last week, I got another disk, sd2, which I planned to add to my system. My intention was to move root, swap and /var onto sd1, and place /usr on sd2, thus allowing me to trash sd0. Ok, setting up sd2 was no big deal, enter /stand/sysinstall, fdisk, label, mount and tarball /usr onto the disk, all this took half an hour, including a tea break. Congratulations there. In my innocence I expected moving the root, swap and /var would be equally easy. How naive. I did the same trick: enter /stand/sysinstall, label... I get a message: You cannot label unless you first fdisk. Oh dear, M$-DOS-like idiot protection. Not that I mind warning messages, but flat refusal to allow me to screw up my own system is very unlike UNIX. Oh well. Back to fdisk, delete partition, create identical one, write changes, re-enter label menu, now I can edit my slices, set up /mnt1, and /mnt2 and the new swap partition, write changes... I get a little box reading `/dev/rsd1s1a': device not configured. Excuse me? A SCSI disk, not configured? In a system that mounted /usr for that very same partition for months? Oh well, so I'm an idiot. I must be doing something wrong then. Exit sysinstall, find my old 2.1.5 cdrom, make a bootflop and reboot from that one. Clever eh? Just pretend sd1 is empty and that I want a full FreeBSD system on it. However, FreeBSD outsmarts me: `/dev/rsd1s1a': device not configured, again. (I can hear smug laughter from my SCSI controller at this point.) Ok, I've been plugging and playing with SCSI cable connections and power leads. Something's gone wrong there. Not so. All connectors are firmly in place, no ID clashes, dmesg reports the drive is detected by my controller, and after unplugging sd0, M$-DOS boots from the same disk without a glitch, through the bootmanager, of course. Ok, man pages, more tea and a restless night later: I decide to do `disklabel -e'. If I want to run UNIX, I cannot expect my hand to be held all the way. Decide on slice sizes, using sysinstall, then edit and write a disklabel: no problem. Read the disklabel: no problem. Reboot the system and reread the disk label: still there. Unbelievable. I must have a magic touch that sysinstall does not have. Ok, proceed to tarball /var, edit /etc/fstab to have root on sd0, as it was before, and use swap and /var from sd1. No problem, system runs. What sysinstall was complaining about is a mystery to me. Anyone? Now the trick bit: moving root to sd1. I tarball the files, check permissions, as I did before. Edit /mnt1/etc/fstab, so that the system will come up with the right slices mounted in the right places. Remove sd0 from the system and set sd1 to sd0... Reboot: Boot manager comes up, I press F1 for BSD: FreeBSD boot menu comes up, I type [enter] **Crash and Burn** Hmm. I am an idiot after all. Reboot: Boot manager comes up, I press F3 for dos: to my eternal frustration, M$-DOS boots as expected. Funny how that is. Whatever complaints you may have about M$-DOS (and I can think of many), it always boots. This is of course a resume of what really happened in the past six days. I tried disklabel -B, but the results are the same. I tried BOOTINST.EXE, again resulting in the same: The system boots as far as the FreeBSD boot menu, and when I type any request or option, the system talks to the disk for a second, and then reboots quickly, to avoid any useful error messages clobbering the screen. sd0 is a Maxtor LXT213, sd1 is a Seagate ST41200N, but reports as an IMPRIMIS, sd2 is a Quantum ASP(?) All disks run fine, one way or another. The controller is, from memory, an PCI NEC 53C810--type thing. The controller and each disk detects/runs fine under FreeBSD 2.1.5, 2.2.2 and M$-DOS 6.22. In its current form, the machine runs Ok, but I just cannot seem to move my root partition to another disk. How do I do that? Sorry to make this such a long story, I hope you found it entertaining. I am left with a limping system, so I hope that you could point me at a manual page I missed, or a feature of fdisk or disklabel that I missed. Groetjes, Kees Jan PS.

I don't think I am doing anything wrong. Problem #1. The Install program does not update rc.conf. You go through the post install menu and fill out all the stuff, exit install, reboot and it comes up with a virgin rc.conf file. No interface settings, no network configurations, etc. Even /etc/hosts was not updated. I tried to rerun /stand/sysinstall to reanswer the questions and it prompted me differently (like it was reading the entire line from the file, just not the answer. Thus for hostname, the field contained: myname.my.domain #you must change this (or what ever was in rc.conf). I cleared the entire field and entered my information. When it was said and done, /etc/hosts has been updated, /etc/hosts resolv.conf had been updated, but rc.conf was still virgin. Finally I updated it by hand and things work now, but . . . Second problem, when I login as root I get a message about a missing login_class: root. I read about the class stuff in the man pages, but a fresh install shouldn't require me to go put in files for the base accounts. Did I do something wrong or is the install for 2.2.2 from ftp.freebsd.org making oopses? As of now, I only have to deal with this login problem because I have the machine configured the way I want it, but . . .

I recently added a second swap partition on my system (I was occasionally getting the "out of swap" messages, too). Added in quite easily, really. I just used Partition Magic to free up some space on my DOS drive, created a BSD partition, labeled it and added it to my /etc/fstab (also had to do a MAKEDEV wd0s2b for it, but that's no problem). Works great, and I *seriously* doubt I'll be running out of swap anymore (I added another 124 megs in the new partition). :-) -- Conrad Sabatier http://www.neosoft.com/~conrads/ From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jul 29 06:39:54 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id GAA12979 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 29 Jul 1997 06:39:54 -0700 (PDT) Received: from as5200-port-254.no.neosoft.com (as5200-port-254.no.neosoft.com [206.27.167.254]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id GAA12973 for ; Tue, 29 Jul 1997 06:39:51 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from conrads@localhost) by as5200-port-254.no.neosoft.com (8.8.6/8.8.6) id IAA00892; Tue, 29 Jul 1997 08:38:07 -0500 (CDT) Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 1.2-alpha [p0] on FreeBSD Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit MIME-Version: 1.0 In-Reply-To: Date: Tue, 29 Jul 1997 08:38:07 -0500 (CDT) Organization: NeoSoft, Inc.

I was incorrect about de0, if you unplug it, the link goes dead and never comes back when you plug it back in, and ifconfig-ing it back up doesn't do anything. Also a netstat -i will hang forever after the first line. We have about five of these cards (de0), and I am a bit worried, since occasionaly one must unplug the ethernet to move things around. As a further note, I see this behaviour with 2.2-RELEASE, 2-2-STABLE (as of yesterday afternoon), and the last 3.0 snapshot (I use a 3.0 install disk for the newer sysinstall). This also all takes place in 10BT mode. Is this a known problem, and if so is a fix in the works?

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello. Please forgive this post if it is very simpley answered, however, my situation is a somewhat unique one, and I need to see if there is a solution.. I am a totally blind system administrator, and we have been running linux for a time. I keep hearing about the advantages of freebsd for internet applications, and I would now like to take advantage of what it has to offer. As you may know if you have run linux, there is a way to make the linux rootdisk expect logins from remote terminals by changing a line in /inittab. To a totally blind user, this is very important, because it when logins can be accomplished from a remote serial terminal, the installation process can be routed to a serial DOS machine equipt with speech software, running a terminal emulator such as commo or procomm. This allows a totally blind administrator to perform the installation of the operating system without the use of sighted assistance. I can see from reading some of the documents on freebsd, that after the system has been installed, this remote terminal concept can be accomplished. What I would like to know is can the boot floppy be programmed to expect remote logins from a serial terminal, much the same as the linux rootdisk? My thanks to anyone who can shead a little light on this for me.

I don't understand the card driver on anything but a cursory level. I'm wondering if the actual card decides to go south when you pull the cable out, and the de driver just follows. I'd like to check this with my Kingston 21140-AA card, but this means upgrading my primary box and I'm trying to avoid it as long as possible. My 2.2-GAMMA kernel is pretty badly hacked as it is and I won't want to go through it again. :) You might drop a letter to hackers@freebsd.org and see if they can confirm this.

Although it involves sacrificing small animals, you might be able to convice FreeBSD to talk to your IDE CDROM. The interface is horribly flakey and it may or may not work. The best thing to do is to try it. You can check to see if you got it by pressing ALT-F2 at the menu. If it says 'found a device of type CDROM' then you're good. Otherwise, try moving your CDROM to the slave device on your primary controller. Needless to say, the SCSI CDROMs probe flawlessly. :) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major Spam routed to /dev/null by Procmail | Death to Cyberpromo From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jul 29 09:35:05 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id JAA27316 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 29 Jul 1997 09:35:05 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (cisco-ts7-line13.uoregon.edu [128.223.150.60]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id JAA27304 for ; Tue, 29 Jul 1997 09:35:01 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id JAA08558; Tue, 29 Jul 1997 09:34:28 -0700 (PDT) Date: Tue, 29 Jul 1997 09:34:27 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White X-Sender: dwhite@localhost Reply-To: Doug White To: Pajero cc: "'freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org'" Subject: Re: FW: Installing FreeBSD 2.2.2 In-Reply-To: <01BC9BFE.445D60A0@difb.qatar.net.qa> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Tue, 29 Jul 1997, Pajero wrote: > I am installing from within DOS partition, minimal installation.

You'll have to do this manually then, but that's very simple. 1. Grab the apache package from the CDROM or FTP site. 2. run 'pkg_add apache-###.tgz' to install it. 3. Modify config files as desired. 4. Restart or start httpd. Apache will be loaded automatically on startup from here on out.

You may need to boot -s so you can modify this.

I have a Gigabyte motherboard; I don't remember the model number, and can see any printing on it to tell me what model it is. I had a home-brewed CPU monitor running at the time of the crash, and noticed it got killed first, presumably by FreeBSD randomly killing processes. Then xclock stopped running. After that, everything froze dead; the mouse and all key combinations, and the contents of the display. I have since proved that only the X-server was dead, as I was able to telnet into it from work this morning, and it seemed fine. (I can't run a remote X-terminal from work). Very few processes were running, and nothing related to X or fvwm. ---------- From: Doug White To: Mike Jeays Cc: Bryan K.

Well, I can discount the video card/server combo since this is what I have. If it happens w/ another board, perhaps we need to dig a bit deeper: do you know what motherboard you have?

That much I have been able to do, apparaently. What I am having trouble with is actually setting up a site. You say "hack the config files". Can you elaborate a bit? In the older versions it allowed you to set up the Web Server through the install script just as it prompts for NFS, FTP, etc. This procedure placed an index.html (welcome page) in /usr/local/www/data directory, you know, the devil with the pitchfork thing "Welcome etc, powered by FreeBSD!). How can I enter that configuration screen. Port 80 is up and running so it seems I have a server. Will it suffice to just put an HTML file in /usr/local/www/data? Will it assume that it belongs to the default domain? So many things are different with 2.2.2. Why cant I seem to link the "ports"? There seems to be no links from the ports in /usr/ports/www to the CD ROM. All directories are unlinked. I know I am new to all this but it seems I am tempted to go back a version or two at this stage. I do like a lot of the improvements in 2.2.2 particularly the ability to use IDE devices readily. kgb From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jul 29 13:04:34 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id NAA09381 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 29 Jul 1997 13:04:34 -0700 (PDT) Received: from internet.fultech.com (gateway.fultech.com [198.53.216.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id NAA09375 for ; Tue, 29 Jul 1997 13:04:24 -0700 (PDT) Received: from [172.16.40.175] ([172.16.40.175]) by internet with ESMTP (DuhMail/2.0) id QAA13318; Tue, 29 Jul 1997 16:00:49 -0400 X-Authentication-Warning: internet: Host [172.16.40.175] claimed to be fulpc159 Message-ID: <33DE4C19.BDAC5A34@acm.org> Date: Tue, 29 Jul 1997 16:01:29 -0400 From: Mike Roth X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.01 [en] (WinNT; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: AMD K6 X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am planing to upgrade my system to an ASUS TX97 board with an AMD K6 processor.

Well, I can un-discount it because that is what I have :-). Ever since XFree86 3.1.2 or so, I've been getting a screwed up color map when I try to run at 1280x1024/8bpp. When I drop down to 800x600/16bpp, it works fine. The fun part is that when I'm in the problem mode, I can get kernel panics talking about "recursive_lock" problems on the first or second attempts to start the server. This has been with various combinations of XF86 from (3.1.2, 3.2, 3.2A, 3.3) and OS (2.1.5, 2.2.1, 2.2.2). I would really love to get back to the higher resolution, but I have no idea how to get there from here. My only guess is that the probe is mis-identifying something or some such, but the chip numbers it finds seems to match chips that I find on my video card. > If it happens w/ another board, perhaps we need to dig a bit deeper: do > you know what motherboard you have? All I can remember now (my system is at home & I'm not) is that it's an P90 on an Asus MB running Award BIOS 4.50PG (or something close to that).

We have a bunch of those cards, too, and it appears that the driver marks the i/f down without telling the ethernet common code about it. For instance, I get the same message, but "ifconfig de0" still shows UP. If I "ifconfig de0 down; ifconfig de0 up" the link comes back up, and all is well. I haven't checked out the FreeBSD sources, but other Unices I've worked on shortstop the ioctl at the "ether" level if the apparent state doesn't change. Give down/up a shot before you give up on these cards. I agree that it would be nice if the driver would notice that the link came back up! Does it need to probe?

I have three machines of various type running on a lan, the server and one of the others is running 2.2.1R, NFS, Apache on server. The third runs NT workstation. I've read the docs by Brian Sommers (great! a big help!). The NT machine easily goes through the server out to the web. (Based on Brian's docs) The second freebsd machine goes nowhere, except to the local pages on the server, just like the NT machine. It will not link off of the local pages to the outside. I'm at a loss to guess how, or what, to set up on the client; ppp? tun0? edo?(NE2000's), what?... Thanks for the right word to kickstart my brain!

But I'm getting it too. One minor nit: obviously you are running beyond the 16 MB boundary. But your dmesg output shows only 16 MB. I'm guessing that you've disabled the other half in order to get the machine to run. Is there anything else in the dmesg output which is less obvious? I'm forwarding this to the SCSI mailing list, where I just sent a similar message describing my own problems.

Any ideas? Yeah, the (lack of) bounce buffers in the dump support is an oversight. I'm not sure that there is a "clean" way to do this since higher level bounce buffers really have no business being used when the system is writing out a crash dump. I think in this case the driver dump routine should be modified to work around the 16MB limitation (yuck). -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jul 30 00:05:00 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id AAA14675 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 30 Jul 1997 00:05:00 -0700 (PDT) Received: from echonyc.com (echonyc.com [198.67.15.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id AAA14664 for ; Wed, 30 Jul 1997 00:04:56 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (benedict@localhost) by echonyc.com (8.8.5/8.8.3) with SMTP id DAA28415; Wed, 30 Jul 1997 03:04:54 -0400 (EDT) Date: Wed, 30 Jul 1997 03:04:53 -0400 (EDT) From: Snob Art Genre To: Patrick Kane cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: tape drive redux Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk narcissus:{/home/ben}% mount /dev/sd0a on / (local) /dev/sd0s3f on /usr (local) /dev/sd0s3e on /var (local) procfs on /proc (local) /dev/sd1s1f on /usr/tmp (local) /dev/sd1s1g on /usr/baz (local) /dev/sd1s1e on /usr/obj (local) Now, I can get /dev/sd0a to dump fine; likewise /dev/sd0f.

I have no enough experience with natd, so my question: What does the natd's -use_sockets option? `man natd' says: -use_sockets | -s Allocate a socket(2) in order to establish an FTP data or IRC DCC send connection. This option uses more system resources, but guarantees successful connections when port numbers con- flict. But in alias.h I see: /* If PKT_ALIAS_USE_SOCKETS is set, then when partially specified links (e.g. destination port and/or address is zero), the packet aliasing engine will attempt to allocate a socket for the aliasing port it chooses. This will avoid interference with the host machine. Fully specified links do not require this. */ I don't undestand the {FTP data connection} and {partially specified links} relationship. What is it?

I suspect part of the problem is that you've forgotten the name of the packet, too. I think you're talking about tcpdump.

If you do M-x gdb, it should prompt you for the name of a program to run. You enter the name of the program, and it opens a new buffer the same window. When you start running the program, it opens a new window in the same frame with the source code. You should then be able to enter gdb commands in the gdb window (which will be called *gdb-*) and look at the source in the other window. Although I'm a great user of both Emacs and gdb, I find that the combination doesn't work very well. I prefer to run gdb from an xterm.

It's creeping uncontrolled featurism. Actually my point was not so much to get the information of how *I* could switch that feature off. I would have found that easily by rtfm'ing. The point was that one of the most common unix programs (if that term is allowed) is starting to get 'augmented' by questionable schnick-schnack features like this progress bar.

I would guess that the machine is trying to do reverse DNS on the other machine's IP (and I think this is what you're gessing is happening, too). Try using a DNS server and adding these other machines's IP addresses (reverses, the numeric in-arpa ones) to your name server database. As far as the ftp server on the Mac, I'm not sure. Is the Mac's name server trying to get a name (e.g. does the ftp server take less time to start if the modem is already connected)? Also, do you have sendmail on your gateway? this will also do many name lookups when not connected. >richardl -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jul 30 02:13:32 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id CAA20934 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 30 Jul 1997 02:13:32 -0700 (PDT) Received: from forwiss.tu-muenchen.de (root@forwiss.tu-muenchen.de [131.159.128.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id CAA20916 for ; Wed, 30 Jul 1997 02:13:22 -0700 (PDT) Received: from pccog4.forwiss.tu-muenchen.de (hafner@pccog4.forwiss.tu-muenchen.de [131.159.128.55]) by forwiss.tu-muenchen.de (8.8.5/V5) with ESMTP id LAA12819; Wed, 30 Jul 1997 11:13:18 +0200 (MET DST) Received: (hafner@localhost) by pccog4.forwiss.tu-muenchen.de (8.8.5/8.6.12) id JAA01180; Wed, 30 Jul 1997 09:15:04 GMT Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG, hafner@forwiss.tu-muenchen.de Subject: questions about dlopen() From: Walter Hafner Date: 30 Jul 1997 11:15:01 +0200 Message-ID: Lines: 79 X-Newsreader: Gnus v5.2.25/XEmacs 19.14 Posted-To: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk The following message is a courtesy copy of an article that has been posted as well. Hi there! I've got a few questions regarding the 'dlopen()' call. I had a look at the sources (/usr/src/lib), but didn't find any references to dlopen(). The manpage is no help either. Problem: We try to read shared libs into an application at runtime. Our application supports various framegrabbers on various hardware (HP, Sun, SGI, PC/Linux, PC/FreeBSD ...) and we have to load wrapper-libs that provide a consistent user interface at runtime (plus the vendor-specific libs of course). That's where 'dlopen()' comes in handy. The following code snipplet works on _all_ hard- and software combinations _except_ FreeBSD 2.2.* (didn't try 2.1.*): #define RTLD_LAZY 1 [...] hndl = dlopen(name,RTLD_LAZY); if (hndl == NULL) return H_ERR_DLOPEN; On all platforms except FreeBSD, dlopen() searches LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the library and returns successfully. On FreeBSD, I get a NULL pointer. If I query dlerror(), I get a "2 ENOENT No such file or directory". dlopen() finds the library only if I cd into the lib-Directory. If it's a ldconfig problem: I can't use ldconfig, because the wrapper libs are named after the corresponding framegrabbers. In the current case: Meteor.so. Ldconfig only looks for files named libXXX.so.XXX. So what's the deal? If a filename is passed to dlopen(), dlopen() seems to look only in the exact path the filename specifies. And if a name without directory information is passed, only the current directory is searched. I find this behaviour very frustrating. Compare the Solaris manpage to dlopen(): A path name containing an embedded '/' is interpreted as an absolute path or relative to the current directory, otherwise the set of search paths currently in effect by the run-time linker will be used to locate the specified file Linux is similar: If filename is not an absolute path (i.e., it does not begin with a "/"), then the file is searched for in the following locations: A colon-separated list of directories in the user's LD_ELF_LIBRARY path environment variable. If and only if LD_ELF_LIBRARY_PATH is not defined, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is used in its place. The FreeBSD manpage gives no informations on the search path. As I said: FreeBSD seems to be the only system that handles dlopen() arguments that way. Or _does_ the FreeBSD dlopen() search the library path, but looks only for lib*.so like ldconfig does? Is there any convenient way to circumvent these problems? Currently I use a getenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH"); call and then fiddle with the result to provide dlopen() with all the paths to look in. Is this _really_ the only solution?

The primitives who run this hospital routinely switch off the power to test their generator. This gives anything up to 20 secs blackout. While the servers are protected by UPS, the UTP hubs aren't (they aren't under our control). Previously the servers would recover network failure gracefully. Now the de0 driver reports: 'autosense failed: cable problem?' and shuts down the interface. I haven't yet succeeded in reactivating the interface without rebooting. This is obviously not a desirable solution, and I'd prefer that the return of patent ethernet on the card was detected. Questions: a) is there something I can do to workaround the problem? b) is it a hardware or driver problem? Will it be rectified, or shall I junk the cards and get something different which works better? Thanks for your help.

I tried using both rawrite and fdimage. The boot floppy was the newer version. Another thing was that since my FreeBSD is on my second hard drive (wd1a), after installing System Commander 3.05, it would just say Read Error even before it showed anything from the bootstrap. Same case with using the 2.2.2R boot floppy if booted through system commander. The only booting method that works is booting the boot floppy and putting in wd(1,0)kernel to boot from the hard drive at the boot floppy. Any ideas?

This report describes how various fortran structures are translated to C. This might help you understand the optimization issues. You can down load it from ftp.netlib.org. The file is in the f2c directory and is f2c.ps (login anonymously to ftp.netlib.org, cd to f2c and get f2c.ps). According to the FreeBSD website NAG is selling a Fortran 90 compiler for FreeBSD. The website for NAG is http://www.nag.co.uk. I could not find a price for it on NAG's website. I am very interested in this though. You can also run Fortran compilers for Linux under FreeBSD's Linux emulator. You probably will need to run FreeBSD 2.2.x to get this to work --- you need elf compatibility. I'm currently doing this with Absoft's Fortran 77 compiler for Linux under FreeBSD 2.2-stable. This works well for me, but Absoft's debugger does not work in the emulator. I have not played with the optimization. I hope this helps you.

The first problem is that cvs doesn't like the order in which arguments are given in the Makefile. There is a "-P" argument in the Makefile *after* the "co" argument - so this is passed to co instead of cvs, and co barfs with an invalid argument error. So it beats me how you can do a "make release" with this Makefile as it stands! Anyway, I decided to try to skip this target, as I don't want all the sources checked out; I already have a source tree in /usr/src that I want to use. So I've been doing "make release.1", "make release.2", etc, one after the other by hand. All went well up until release.8, and the building of the floppy image using /dev/vn0c. It seems from the invocation of doFS.sh that the virtual file system should by 1440kb in size.

This does work, Thanks. When I called V-Tech, all they did was replace my 3.01 floppy with 3.05 which had the same problem. Does anyone know what the contents of the boot disk is supposed to be? I made three floppies using rawrite, fdimage as well as under FreeBSD and all three just show only a kernel file on the entire disk. I can see the fixit floppy was made correctly.

When you get the gud-mode window up, use C-x 2 to split the window, and C-x b to switch the current window back to your source file. Now, if you set a breakpoint and run the program, when the breakpoint is hit, you'll see a '=>' pointing to the source line in your source window.

Firstly, the boot disk for installation would not boot until I switched the cpu cache off. Once all was installed, things seemed to be working until I tried to compile cfs (crypto file system). The system locked solid; this is reproducible. Also, while transferring files via ftp over slip, it rebooted about 1 hour ago. (cpu cache was on) Is this something to do with using 2.2.2-RELEASE, or is it more likely to be my particular system? I am now deciding whether to install linux or a more stable freeBSD on the system (I already have two linux 2.0.30, very reliable, never crash unless I do something dumb :) Or are there any bios settings I should tweak? Switching off cpu cache halves the speed, so that's not very good :( Thanks, Brian From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jul 30 10:42:27 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id KAA19372 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 30 Jul 1997 10:42:27 -0700 (PDT) Received: from keywest.ird.rl.af.mil (KEYWEST.IRD.RL.AF.MIL [128.132.193.224]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id KAA19357 for ; Wed, 30 Jul 1997 10:42:20 -0700 (PDT) Received: by keywest.ird.rl.af.mil with Microsoft Exchange (IMC 4.0.837.3) id <01BC9CEE.80D714E0@keywest.ird.rl.af.mil>; Wed, 30 Jul 1997 13:43:03 -0400 Message-ID: From: "Goeringer, Michael" To: "'freebsd-questions@freebsd.org'" Subject: ThinkPad Dock I SCSI controller...need HELP!!

In the setup process, I tried to configure XFree86, and it hung because my mouse wouldn't move and keyboard commands didn't respond. I rebooted, the partitions were cleaned, and then I got the message "ifconfig: interface zp0 does not exist" on boot up. I noticed the network is configured correctly, but it lost how to contact the network card. How do I fix that? The driver still loads in the kernel, btw. Next part, is how (if at all) can I make the PS/2 trackball on the laptop operate correctly? I noticed it conflicts at 0x60 with the syscons driver, and once I removed the syscons driver and realized quickly that was not an option. I tried other I/O addresses for the PS/2 mouse (I did not change the irq because I know irq 12 is valid from checking it with a Win95 install, though no I/O address is listed as being used in Resources in Win95.) and that would cause the system not to boot up properly. It would stop halfway, ask to reboot, and then change back to the defaults in the kernel. ------------------------------------- Edward Baichtal edwardb@AirLink.com http://www.airlink.com From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jul 30 12:01:10 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id MAA24909 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 30 Jul 1997 12:01:10 -0700 (PDT) Received: from neptune.neptune.net (root@neptune.neptune.net [204.107.103.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA24878 for ; Wed, 30 Jul 1997 12:01:00 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from doug@localhost) by neptune.neptune.net (8.7.5/8.7.3) id LAA28288 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Wed, 30 Jul 1997 11:35:37 -0700 (PDT) Date: Wed, 30 Jul 1997 11:35:37 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199707301835.LAA28288@neptune.neptune.net> From: Doug Jolley Subject: Mounting CD-ROM To: undisclosed-recipients:; Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have just installed version 2.2.2 of FreeBSD using a Mitsumi 8X CD-ROM.

Although I haven't tried this, the boot floppy may be set up for serial console usage. You have to type '-h' at the Boot: prompt (which comes up just after the floppy boots) and that should route everything out COM1 at 9600 baud. If you can you might try it. You can safely boot the install floppy; it won't make any changes unless you tell it to. The only drawback is that we use a GUI for the install program, and I know that some GUIs aren't too speech-friendly. Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any success or have any other questions.

I've never seen that. Did you use the 'fdimage' program on the floppy to build the image and not 'rawrite'? 'fdimage' will make sure that the image is written properly on Win95, where 'rawrite' will fail.

"Transparent" and "reformat" don't go in the same sentence. :) You DON'T want to reformat and install from scratch; you will be perfectly OK performing an in-place upgrade (use the 'upgrade' option in sysinstall). I've done this since 2.1.0 on this box and don't notice any problems yet (other than the leftover binary here and there). Words of warning: BACK UP /ETC!! BACK UP /ETC!! BACK UP /ETC!! BACK UP /ETC!! BACK UP /ETC!! BACK UP /ETC!! BACK UP /ETC!! BACK UP /ETC!! BACK UP /ETC!! BACK UP /ETC!! BACK UP /ETC!! BACK UP /ETC!! BACK UP /ETC!! BACK UP /ETC!! BACK UP /ETC!! BACK UP /ETC!! BACK UP /ETC!! BACK UP /ETC!! We also move to /etc/rc.conf, and 2.2.2 sysinstall doesn't quite deal with it right. Usually it ends up corrupted in some way. A little time with vi can get it back up again. And, install the src/etc distribution; you'll need to do a 'cp /usr/src/etc/login.conf /etc' when you get up, somehow it got left behind. You'll get annoying login messages about 'unknown login class root' if you don't. See ERRATA.TXT on the top level 2.2.2 tree for the latest. Hope this helps and good luck!

The ccd(4) man page suggests using as big a interleave as you can: For random-access oriented workloads, such as news servers, a larger in- terleave factor (e.g., 65,536) is more desirable. Note that there isn't much ccd can do to speed up applications that are seek-time limited. Larger interleave factors will at least reduce the chance of having to seek two disk-heads to read one directory or a file. This has been tested in practice by a couple of FreeBSD developers. The name doesn't come to me at the moment, but if you poke through the -hackers list archives at http://www.freebsd.org you can find more info. If you haven't read ccd(4) yet I highly suggest it. It has lots of good information for using ccd.

I assume it's something like 'Command not found', in which case you need to modify your shell's startup file (for csh, ~/.cshrc) and add /sbin, /usr/sbin, and /usr/X11R6/bin to the path variable.

And it's working fine. Other than the annoying: Jul 30 15:05:06 horton upsd[427]: apc_tune: negative response: NO message. Which is a back handed way of saying, communications is ok, isn't it? Anyway. I want all messages from it to go to /var/log/upsd.log instead of /var/log/messages. I started by changing it's facility from LOG_DAEMON to LOG_LOCAL3, but that didn't do it (the *.notice in syslogd.conf keeps sending it to messages). So next, after reading (ok maybe not closely enough) the syslog.conf man page, I put at the bottom of the file: !upsd *.* /var/log/upsd.log But messages still go to /var/log/messages. I kill -HUP'd and killed and restarted syslogd to no avail. What am I doing wrong?

This happened again last week and I had maxconcur set to 8. My system is set up with a dedicated 28.8 dial up using pppd. 99% of the time it just sits there and runs happily along. I really like FreeBSD. Here's the main symptom that something is wrong: ping: sendto: No buffer space available After it gets in this state it will never recover by itself. Is there something else that I need to do if it happens again? from before: My system got sick again. The symptoms were as before where no TCP/IP traffic was going out or coming in via ppp. This time I was able to capture a fair amount of data. I am running FreeBSD 2.1.6 and using it to run several mailing lists. I am using the procmail/SmartList package. I have maxconcur set to 16 in rc.init for SmartList. I was able to kill -1 on the pid of pppd and get it to restart this time. This leads me to believe it may be a bug in ppp. There were a couple of other commands that were suggested I run if this happened again which I did but they just sat there and produced no output so I ^C'ed out. I think the chances of the problem happening again can be decreased by decreasing maxconcur but the OS/ppp should be able to recover from this by itself. Any pointers or help with this problem would be appreciated.

I've attempted to cross that bridge before. The "-H" option to a2ps will let you select the text you wish in place of stdin or the filename. But it doesn't appear that the filename itself is available to you in printcap. Of course there is the standard, "You have the source code, fix it..." reply. Its much easier to invoke a2ps from the command line, "a2ps thisfile.c | lpr -Plp" and get exactly what you want rather than imposing a2ps formatting on all user output. Its also easier than setting up separate portrait and landscape printer devices using a2ps. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

Use "dump 0auf /dev/rst0 /dev/sd0f". dump(8) says "a" automatically writes until dump gets an end-of-media message from the tape drive, then prompts for the next tape. Think this feature is unique to FreeBSD. I remember seeing discussion about which letter to use to activate its function. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

First of all, thanks (a little late) to all people who replied to my question about wheter to abandon FreeBSD because I need to use a SMP machine. I'll give a try to the SNAP version which includes SMP support. Now, I have another question: I want to use the SMP machine to run SQL database management software, and some other application software development packages (maybe FlagShip or Recital). Which emulation option do you reccomend better? Linux or SCO? (the software lacks FreeBSD support by now) Again, thanks in advance.

You could get back to a console by typing Cntl-Alt-F1 (assuming your system was still responsive). Laptops and Xfree don't go too well together, unfortunately. For the device, make sure the kernel is finding the zp0 device on bootup. It should say something zp0: at 0x300 irq 10 .... and not zp0: not found. If it isn't finding it, make sure the settings in the card and FreeBSD match. If they don't match, use '-c' on the Boot: prompt to fix it. > Next part, is how (if at all) can I make the PS/2 trackball on the > laptop operate correctly?

It may be that the Diamond is too different from the NCR 53c8xx series chips to be detectable. I wasn't aware that Diamond made a NCR-compatible SCSI controller tho. NCRs are also known as Symbios, the company that took over NCR's chip subdivision.

I've always installed apache manually so I don't know which file you're referring to :), but you're basically correct. The default FreeBSD config sets serverroot to /usr/local/www/data/, so put the top of your tree there. If you want to adjust some of the server's configurations, you can find the usual config files (httpd.conf, access.conf, etc.) in /usr/local/www/server/conf. > Will it assume that it belongs to the default domain?

It looks to me as if you haven't started X yet. Don't start xterm, start 'startx' or 'xinit'. If you haven't set up a window manager, the screen will look a bit funny, but it *will* give you an xterm for free. Look at the man pages X(1), startx(1), and xinit(1). You will also need to choose a window manager--see ctwm(1), fvwm(1), twm(1), and fvwm95-2(1). Some of these may be in the ports collection.

Now, my system spends more time connected to my ISP than to work so I initially configured it to use the hostname used in my ISP link. I'm also running routed and have an entry in /etc/resolv.conf to point to my ISP's name server. The obvious question that I'm coming to is this: is there a "good" or clean way to go back and forth between network identities? I'm using user-mode ppp and have entries for work and my ISP. I can easily enough run 'ppp {work | isp}' and connect. The real tricky part comes in when I want to set up the network daemons on the fly and change things like the routing table and so on. I realize that I could write a script to go through and make all the changes as needed and start ppp with the proper destination. However, before I start down that path I'd like to know if anyone else has experienced this schizophrenic (sp) situation and how they went about handling it.

Uhhh... A think the K5 is pretty bug free. We have been using them since the early days with FreeBSD w/o problems at all. The only difference I can tell is that most users here use Asus motherboards; I guess I am one of the few who use PC Chips and FreeTech motherboards and have never seen any problems with K5 & K6 processors.

My 2.1.6 is complete, so I'm assuming that the cdrom is defective. Can someone verify that this is the case and that filesys/src/* is supposed to be included? Next: The whole CVS concept per the manual is not quite sinking in through my thick skull. Is the following correct: I can purchase the cdrom, install sources, and then CVS the sources to make them -current rather than CVSing the whole source(?) I'm assuming that by doing this I'll save a whole ton of 14.4 download time as I would only be downloading a few updates(?) Or am I better of just CVSing from the get go and saving my $ ?

That's OK, but don't let that healthy skepticism keep you from discovering what this information is and from making an intelligent decision once you know what it's all about! Your water is killing you!!! The American Heart Association indicates that water softened with salt may cause an elevated sodium level, which has been linked to a variety of other health problems, including high blood pressure, water retention, gall bladder disease and goiters ect. ect. What is your alternative? Magnetic Water conditioning will give you softer water without unhealthy salt found in many other systems and is maintenance free. Soft, acid free water feels, tastes, and cleans better than hard water. Buildings in the U.S that have Magnetic Water Conditioning Systems Trump Tower, New York City, Flamingo Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada Daniel Corporation, Pepsi Cola - Bottle Washers, Kodak - Film Processing Coca-Cola - Bottle Washers, AT&T - Western Electric Desert Inn - Las Vegas, Nevada, Texaco Oil / Shell Oil / Richfield Oil Safeway Stores, Arizona, City of Scottsdale, Arizona University of Utah, Honeywell, Hollywood YMCA University of Michigan, Toro Corporation Summa Corporation, Sheraton - Swimming Pools Hughes Tool Company, Starmount Company / Forum VI Nevada Nuclear Test Site, Miami Bayside Ford Motors - Process Water, Piedmont Mall Holiday Inn - Icemakers, Bantam Books - Process Printing Nellis Air Force Base, Excel Meat Packing Plant Sands Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada, Allied Signal Aerospace My House :-) Reduced Initial Cost and No Ongoing Costs!! You pay only a fraction of what traditional water softeners cost and unlike traditional water softeners, Our Magnetic Water Conditioning System requires no salt, no electricity, no extra water and reduces the amount of soaps and detergents used. Products of the future that will save you money and problems TODAY!! Perfect for homeowners, renters, or condo owners!! Magnetic fluid conditioning devices that put the full power of magneto-hydrodynamics to work for you. The product is a super high-powered ceramic magnet (s), originally developed by the U.S. government for NASA's Space Program---ultra-powerful magnets that don't wear out or require outside power. Magnetic Water Conditioning? Why haven’t you heard of this before?? No operating costs, Never another expense for the system, no maintenance!! could be the answer... Install one time and enjoy, cleaner, softer water with all the minerals!! Forever!! Would you like Sparkling Fresh Water, better tasting water, clear ice and clean pipes? Moveing? Just unclamp the units and take them with you. Our Magnetic Water Conditioning System has several cost, health and environmental advantages over water softeners that use salt. The M. W. C. System does not pollute with salt or chemicals, You get fresher, cleaner-feeling water. No slippery feeling when showering. Hair has more luster. Unsightly water spots on dishes, glasses, and even cars and trucks are greatly reduced. Clothes last longer. Swimming pools and spas stay clean and crystal clear with fewer amounts of chlorine’s, clarifiers and purifiers. M. W. C. System offer a healthier alternative because they add no salt, and leave the minerals in the water that are essential to human health. Even plants and grass respond to magnetically conditioned water by growing faster and healthier. Improved Water Flow!! Prevents minerals from precipitating on the inside of pipes and other surfaces in the form of hard scale, and will not corrode pipes, water heaters, and other fixtures. Resulting in Increased Water Heater and Appliance Efficiency. In fact the Magnetic Water Conditioning System actually removes scale build-ups that can drastically reduce efficiency of water heaters and certain other appliances. Clearly a more complete and efficient solution than traditional water softeners. Pays for itself quickly by what it saves in energy dollars. It also extends the life of plumbing fixtures, while reducing maintenance expenses and repair costs due to scale build-up. Save an average of $197 per year on water conditioning. Since magnetic water conditioning does not use potentially harmful chemicals, there are no environmental or health hazards.

When you invoke ftp, do you invoke via the full name, or via the hostname, or via IP? Does changing this change the behavior? if your modem is off, DNS is on, and you type "host 192.168.0.103" on the gateway, do you dial out? As for the ftp server, I'm wondering if it does some sort of sanity checking (I know that Netscape, for example, does "sanity checks" which involve external DNS lookups). bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jul 31 00:57:06 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id AAA14444 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 31 Jul 1997 00:57:06 -0700 (PDT) Received: from konig.elte.hu (konig.elte.hu [157.181.6.22]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id AAA14418; Thu, 31 Jul 1997 00:56:38 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (sebesty@localhost) by konig.elte.hu (8.8.3/8.7.3/7s) with SMTP id JAA01483; Thu, 31 Jul 1997 09:36:49 +0200 Date: Thu, 31 Jul 1997 09:36:48 +0200 (MET DST) From: Zoltan Sebestyen X-Sender: sebesty@konig To: smpatel@freebsd.org cc: FreeBSD questions mailinglist Subject: Success with SoundBlaster 32 PnP Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk If anyone's interested, I've succeed to make my SB 32 PnP work with the ISA_PnP and the awedrv package on FreeBSD -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sebestyen Zoltan It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up. szoli@caesar.elte.hu But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

However, for other cases, I find wget (in the ports) a very find tool (my main use for it is to mirror SNAPs locally...).

Uhhh... A think the K5 is pretty bug free. We have been using them since the early days with FreeBSD w/o problems at all. The only difference I can tell is that most users here use Asus motherboards; I guess I am one of the few who use PC Chips and FreeTech motherboards and have never seen any problems with K5 & K6 processors.

I can connect to the Internet using IP aliasing and everything works great, except one thing: if the ppp connection to the Internet is saturated (ie. downloading something big), other computers on the network (via the LAN not PPP) have to wait for a packet to make it out on the ppp device and come back before the BSD box will allow the connection. Obviously, the address of the ppp device (actuall tun0) is the default gateway for this box. As far as I can tell, (and I can't find much in the way of documentation on this) the routes are tried in order, from lowest network to highest. Is this correct? The big problem I am having is this BSD server also runs qpopper to provide e-mail for my network users, and when someone decides to download something large, all of the e-mail pop clients timeout waiting for their packet to come back from the ppp device. This is very frustrating to me and to my users. I believe a way to solve the problem would be to put the Internet gateway on a sepatate computer, but that really isn't possible at this point because of budget contstraints, etc. Is there any way to overcome this problem? by the way, I am using 10.0.x.x series ip numbers, if that is of any help.

Can this work somehow without re- > compiling on the SUN? It should be if you use binutils-2.7 (or 2.8) and gcc-2.7.2.x. You'll need the libraries and header files from a Sun (Solaris?) system. See the INSTALL file in the gcc distribution - make sure you thoroughly read the section about cross compiling. I've built a Sparc-Sun-Solaris -> FreeBSD ELF cross compiler on the sun, so I know it's possible to go that way.

Thanks to several people who responded with suggestions. Note that I reinstalled NT and DOS 6.22 such that there is an initial DOS FAT file system 100MB in size with the rest of the disk being NT using NTFS. I have not tested this solution on a 100% NTFS IDE boot disk (although I think it should work there). This is on FreeBSD 2.2.2 from the WC CDROM and NT 4.0 Workstation. cd /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot and edit start.S to produce: diff start.S start.S.orig 136a137 > mov $0x81,%dl make cp boot.nohdr /msdos/bootsect.bsd # FAT partition is mounted on /msdos Reboot to DOS and edit boot.ini as described in the FAQ to make a FreeBSD boot option entry ctrl-alt-del Select the FreeBSD entry at the NT boot prompt. At the FreeBSD boot prompt enter: 1:sd(0,a)kernel (just like you were booting from a floppy) FreeBSD comes up and finds its root partition correctly. If you do not enter: 1:sd(0,a)kernel at the FreeBSD boot prompt, the kernel panics because it cannot find its root partition (device probe works, though). Not elegant, but I don't have to walk around to the other side of my desk to insert/remove a FreeBSD floppy each time I reboot to the other OS. Of course, all the usual disclaimers about me not being responsible if this incantation reformats your hard disk, etc. :) Bud Dodson > > On Fri, 25 Jul 1997, M. L.

I meant -stable not -current! Sorry! ___________________________________________________ Hi, I have two questions: My 2.1.7 cdrom is missing all files and subdirectories on filesys/src. My 2.1.6 is complete, so I'm assuming that the cdrom is defective. Can someone verify that this is the case and that filesys/src/* is supposed to be included? Next: The whole CVS concept per the manual is not quite sinking in through my thick skull. Is the following correct: I can purchase the cdrom, install sources, and then CVS the sources to make them -current rather than CVSing the whole source(?) I'm assuming that by doing this I'll save a whole ton of 14.4 download time as I would only be downloading a few updates(?) Or am I better of just CVSing from the get go and saving my $ ?

I'm using a 9706 version of ppp and it does go through the phone number list, but I'd like the phone numbers to be used as error fallbacks instead of continually cycling through the numbers. That is, if I've got it set to "1111111:2222222:3333333", it only tries 2222222 if 1111111 failed and 3333333 if 2222222 failed. But the way it works now (well...in my 9706 version) is that if the last number dialed was 1111111, it'll try 2222222 regardless of whether or not 1111111 succeeded last time or not. But it's no big deal for me - it just keeps dropping me in the middle of a hunt group of numbers instead of always starting at the first number. I could drop it back to just the first number, but occasionally something gets weird with the number it gives me or with the hunting that it's nice to have the fallback numbers.

Most of the plugins I found on the Web are for Windows & Mac. I have found a plugin-sdk for unix from netscape developer site. But it just doesn't work, i.e. I'm able to create the sharable object module and put it in .netscpae/plugins. But netscape just doesn't recognise it. It doesn't even give any error. It behaves as if the netscape/plugins directory is empty. Has anyone tried this before? Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Do I need to use PAP and/or Chap? This is really a question your ISP should answer. I suspect the answer is 'yes'. > If so can someone show me an example that would use no prompts. Here's the example from /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.sample: # If the peer requires to use CHAP, don't forget to supply authname # and authkey. # # If you'd like to use CHAP to authenticate with the peer, comment out # the line ``enable chap'' below.

First, find out if it's some other kind of file: $ file archive-name If file tells you it's a tar file, then somebody forgot to gzip it, and you can extract with tar.

The Adaptec is about as good as they get, and the support is generally very good (although the driver does go through patches of instability when Adaptec make changes to their range or programming data). An alternative to be considered seriously is any card based on the NCR 875 chip; see http://www.tekram.com for one such device. These cards are _very_ well supported by FreeBSD, and the driver has been stable for a long time now. > David Cross -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.

Not to say that it won't work (PPP could care less what the local IP/name is since it configures it's own interface, and the DNS will still work as long as it isn't firewalled), but it's not as easy as say MS with their PPP `extensions'.

Take a look at 'netstat -rn' and try to sort it out. It helps if you disable routed in /etc/sysconfig (or /etc/rc.conf on 2.2.2). For your sig11's and sig4's, these are probably caused by some bad memory or processor cache. If you can't compile a kernel with out cc1 sig11ing, you need to replace your RAM chips.

Yeah, the idea is to copy the CVS tree to the local machine, then install & use CVSup to update the sources to the state it is right now. You don't have to get what you don't want to; if you don't want the source to usr.sbin for instance you don't have to get it. But if you're going to bother, you might as well get all of it. Unfortunately, from 2.1.7, you're a ways off of the -CURRENT tree, so you're looking at grabbing a good percentage of it anyway. 33.6 modems are *really* cheap nowadays....:-) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major Spam routed to /dev/null by Procmail | Death to Cyberpromo From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jul 31 20:13:53 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id UAA20945 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 31 Jul 1997 20:13:53 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (cisco-ts7-line1.uoregon.edu [128.223.150.48]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id UAA20931 for ; Thu, 31 Jul 1997 20:13:48 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id UAA11218; Thu, 31 Jul 1997 20:13:39 -0700 (PDT) Date: Thu, 31 Jul 1997 20:13:38 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White X-Sender: dwhite@localhost Reply-To: Doug White To: /dev/nothin cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: dialup dynamic ppp In-Reply-To: <2.2.32.19970731170706.00689250@mail.netquest.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Thu, 31 Jul 1997, /dev/nothin wrote: > Well..

Considering how far behind you are, it may be a better bet to shoot for 2.1.7 first, then up to 2.2.1. I believe some major changes came through in 2.1.0 that may affect your filesystems; you may need to reinstall from scratch. (It may not be a bad idea for such an old system.) > Could you please send me an information concerning the difference between > the basic administrative files. I think the big one was the addition of /etc/sysconfig as a systemwide configuration file. Everything else was pretty static. (In 2.2.2 this became /etc/rc.conf.) It's been so long since I ran 2.0.5 (I have the CD still!) I don't remember all the little changes.

Depends on what you mean by the connect rate. You can "set log +connect" to see your modems connect rate (assuming your modem's configured to tell).

Ruslan, For most users, the "use_sockets" option should be enabled (this is the default). There are certain cases when the FreeBSD machine is being only as a router that it is not necessary. I have written a (long) man page for the packet aliasing library which attempts to explain the meaning of a "partially specified aliasing link" in an appendix. I sent this man page to the FreeBSD organization but I don't know if it has been included into the -current source tree yet.

How? Isn't it just cycling to the next number every time it tries to dial out? What I was thinking of as a normal mode when everything is working right would be that the first number is the only one that ever gets dialed. The remaining numbers would be fallbacks in case there was some sort of error getting connected to the first one. (note that I'm using the -auto flag, so the connection times out and gets re-established frequently while the system is up). Maybe it could be a different syntax to denote fallback numbers like this: set phone "100|101|102:200|201|202" to use ":" to separate numbers that should be used in sequence. Use "|" to separate primary numbers from their fallbacks. So, in the above, if all of the phone numbers are successfully connecting, it would alternate between "100" and "200". It would only try "101" if "100" failed.

The Phoneblaster is just a modem and a SB16 on a single card. To use the modem, just configure an sio (serial COM port device).

There are also dns things, probably sendmail things, and goodness knows what else that is built into the sytem that refers to outside-your-net IP addresses. If you are not connected, and no "default" , or "0.0.0.0" gateway is set, then the system says, ok, not on this net and gives up. However, if it determines that there is a remote gateway, it will try to set up a link. The best thing would be to set up the default gateway using the ppp.dialup scripts, and take it down again when you drop the connection, rather than have it set up at boot time. cheers, Bob -- http://www.chalmers.com.au Books-New & Secondhand Support Whirled Peas.

The probe of my IBM Ultrastar 2ES Ultra-Wide drive (included below) indicates that I am not getting these types of transfers with my 2.2.2 (from the CD) system. Thus I didn't suggest 875 based cards since the request asked for Ultrawide cards and though the my Tekram 390F is indeed an ultrawide 875 based card which I am QUITE hapy with, it is not doing Ultrawide transactions.

Some of the older CMOS's have a "BIG DISK TRANSLATION" on them. Sometimes they are set to "DOS" or "OTHER" I know I have had to set it to "OTHER" when I am installing FreeBSD on the System. Is LBA (Logical Block Addressing) the same as Big Disk Translation? I think YES. Question Number Two. Does LBA have to be enabled to use FreeBSD with DOS on the same disk? I think YES. Question Number Three. Does having LBA enabled make a difference on a system that has only FreeBSD on it? I think NO. What I am really wondering is if it is important in any situation except where FreeBSD and DOS share a hard disk. I just want someone to confirm my suspicions.

What is it? Please, explain. Some more explanation than my last reply. Warning: this is going to be confusing. When an FTP client sets up a data connection in the standard non-passive mode (to transfer a file or get a directory listing), the client actually has to wait for the server to establish the connection. This causes some extra work for the packet aliasing engine which has to intercept and modify the PORT command and then wait for the data connection, which is separate from the control connection, to be established. The "partially specified link" is an internal construct set up by the packet aliasing engine to wait for the data connection from a known IP address but unknown port, hence the term partially specified. The data connection should be initiated from port 20 on the remote side, but this is not always the case. In the normal mode of operation, the packet aliasing engine monitors traffic and sets up aliasing links, which are address/port relationships between the local, aliasing and remote machines. In the case of waiting for an FTP data connection, no actual traffic has passed, so there could be a port conflict with the host machine unless socket() is called to reserve an unused port number. As soon as the remote machine establishes the data connection, there is no additional need to reserve the port with a dummy socket. In the case where the natd machine is acting purely as a router, and people are not using it as an FTP or IRC client, the use_sockets option does not need to be set. This should improve efficiency. Also, if local machines are being aliased to one or more addresses that are _distinct_ from the natd address, then this option can be disabled, since there is no possibility of conflict with the host machine. I'm sorry, but I don't know how to make this explanation more clear.

I see. 1. Disable routed in /etc/rc.conf. You don't want it for your setup. 2. In your ISP's PPP profile, put 'set timeout 0' to disable the timeout. 3. After you successfully connect, you need to enter the command 'add 0 0 HISADDR' to add the appropriate default route. 4. Set your DNS server in /etc/resolv.conf. It should look something like this... domain uoregon.edu nameserver 128.223.170.28 nameserver 128.223.32.35 Obviously set as appropriate. That should get you going.

All these things and more have I tried, but none without a cost.

I don't understand what you're trying to do. Are you trying to format (newfs) these disks, or just mount them? For the newfs stuff, see my disk building docs at http://resnet.uoregon.edu/dwhite/makedisk.html (no tilde) and look for the Zip stuff. I would assume that these drives act just like hard disks or other SCSI removables.

If it's Plug and Pray, I highly suggest disabling PnP and setting the resources yourself. Then boot -c and program the ed driver with your settings. Once up, you'll have to add some entires to /etc/rc.conf to run the appropriate ifconfig's. There should be a commented-out example you can use, just modify the IP and netmask as appropriate. (I don't have any 2.2.2 boxes yet or I'd post an example.)

I have created a Kermit.dial file that will dial and log me in fine, but as soon as I am logged on and the kermit.dial script finished I get the message "There might still be a connection on /dev/cuaa1. Quit anyway?" or something to that effect. If I say yes kermit quits and I can hear the modem hang-up, if I say no I just end up back in kermit. I assume there is some command that tells kermit not to hang the modem up when you quit, but looking through the help I couldn't find it. Also, how can I get it to display all the output from the remote computer? after dialing I get a "Connect" message followed by my speed, sense my phone lines are pretty bad the speed is almost always different, so I just set the script up to identify the "Connect" part (i.e. input 30 {CONNECT}). So now during the script I see "CONNECT" then "login:" but the rest of the connect line is never shown. Thanks, I really appreciate all the great help I get from this list! Thanks again, Daniel Keller.

I had a heck of a time setting my machine up at work (fast network connection). It kept getting corruption trying to download the file. I took it home and it loaded fine over my slower link (one isdn b channel). It worked fine. I tried to run XFree86 and it kept crashing miserably with signal 11s. I tried to build a kernel and it kept crashing miserably with signal 11s. I had two 32mb edo simms in slot 0 and two 8mb fast page mode (slower than edo) simms in slot 1. On the below forwarded advice from a friend, I removed the two 8mb fast page mode simms and tried again. It has been rock solid since then. I suspect that the BIOS was setting up the wait states etc based on the EDO ram, and that was too fast for the fast page mode ram. If I didn't stress the machine much, it did okay, but when I tried to build a kernel or run XFree86 with lots of windows, it wasn't happy. There is a FAQ on signal 11s. The below was forwarded to me by a friend: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6.14. My programs occasionally die with ``Signal 11'' errors. This can be caused by bad hardware (memory, motherboard, etc.). Try running a memory-testing program on your PC. Note that, even though every memory testing program you try will report your memory as being fine, it's possible for slightly marginal memory to pass all memory tests, yet fail under operating conditions (such as during busmastering DMA from a SCSI controller like the Adaptec 1542, when you're beating on memory by compiling a kernel, or just when the system's running particularly hot). The SIG11 FAQ (listed below) points up slow memory as being the most common problem. Increase the number of wait states in your BIOS setup, or get faster memory. For me the guilty party has been bad cache RAM or a bad on-board cache controller. Try disabling the on-board (secondary) cache in the BIOS setup and see if that solves the problem. There's an extensive FAQ on this at the SIG11 problem FAQ (www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/) Good luck! -Nick From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 1 01:31:08 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id BAA09022 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 1 Aug 1997 01:31:08 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (cisco-ts13-line1.uoregon.edu [128.223.150.150]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id BAA09017 for ; Fri, 1 Aug 1997 01:31:05 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id BAA11983; Fri, 1 Aug 1997 01:30:52 -0700 (PDT) Date: Fri, 1 Aug 1997 01:30:51 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White X-Sender: dwhite@localhost Reply-To: Doug White To: Shaun Courtney cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Will 2.2.2-R run on this hardware?

What is the difference between soft and hard quotas in the edquota See the section on quatas in the Handbook. When the user reaches the soft limit he can still allocate more space for a "grace period" (one week by default), during which he receives warnings that he's past his limit. After this grace period the soft limit becomes the hard limit. The user can never allocate more space than the hard limit allows (or more than the soft limit once the grace period is through). > 2.

It puts in upper limit on the "backlog" parameter to the listen() syscall. somaxconn does NOT limit the total number of socket connections. The only limit there would be caused by exceeding the global open file limit (kern.maxfiles), or perhaps more indirectly, exceeding the maximum number of networking buffers in the system. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 1 04:33:54 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id EAA15055 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 1 Aug 1997 04:33:54 -0700 (PDT) Received: from relay.ucb.crimea.ua (ru@relay.ucb.crimea.ua [194.93.177.113]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id EAA15039 for ; Fri, 1 Aug 1997 04:33:11 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from ru@localhost) by relay.ucb.crimea.ua (8.8.5/8.8.5) id OAA28684; Fri, 1 Aug 1997 14:31:28 +0300 (EET DST) From: Ruslan Ermilov Message-Id: <199708011131.OAA28684@relay.ucb.crimea.ua> Subject: Re: NATD -use_sockets option question To: cmott@srv.net (Charles Mott) Date: Fri, 1 Aug 1997 14:31:28 +0300 (EET DST) Cc: brian@awfulhak.org, ru@ucb.crimea.ua, questions@FreeBSD.ORG, ari.suutari@ps.carel.fi In-Reply-To: from "Charles Mott" at Jul 31, 97 09:41:10 pm X-My-Interests: Unix,Oracle,Networking X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, Charles!

You need to modify the Seagate driver as follows: IRQ=11 Flags=0x10 Mem start location=CA000 The hardest part figuring out that the Dock I has a Future Domain TMC controller. Unfortunately the diagnostic disk that comes with it claims the controller is a TCC 850/860/875/885 class... most of which FreeBSD does not support... but the sea0 driver does recognize it as a TMC 950. > The trackpoint II is /dev/psm0 (ps/2 mouse) on my thinkpad 365CSD.

Ok, everytime i boot FreeBSD, as soon as it finishes the line begining with "wd1", wdc0: unit 1 (wd1): wd1: 162MB (332304 sectors), 903 cyls, 8 heads, 46 S/T, 512 B/S it takes about 20 seconds for the kernel to continue to this next part, wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa wdc1: unit 0 (atapi): , removable, iordy atapi1.0: unknown phase which incidentally takes about 20 seconds to complete. Is there something wrong with the configuration of my kernel? Is it possible to speed it up? This problem occurs both with the GENERIC kernel and my custom kernel. BTW, my Creative Labs CD-420E CD-ROM is the master on the secondary controller, and my second hdrive (Conner Peripherals 170MB) is the slave on the primary controller. Another problem, when the kernel gets to initializing my scsi zip drive, this happens, sd0(aic0:5:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0 Invalid field in CDB and, sd0 could not mode sense (4). Using ficticious geometry whats wrong with that part? One more thing, at the point where it mounts my msdos partion, i get the error, mountmsdosfs(): Warning: root directory is not a multiple of the clustersize in length I heard on #freebsd, that this has something to do with using Partion Magic and/or FIPS to repartion MS-DOS drives, is taht true and how do i fix it?

Absolutely. As you go through the installation program it should offer you the choice of using the ethernet interface on your PC (as long as the kernel has a driver for it and you didn't disable it when you were resolving conflicts). It will then ask you for configuration information for the interface and go get the distribution. Works great.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello again. To refresh the memory, I am the totally blind system administrator who was trying to install freebsd from a remote serial terminal. Thanks first of all to those who replied with instructions. I have tried many stepps, but to no success getting speech through my terminal emulator to complete the freebsd install. As Doug White wrote in a message to me, if a -h was typed after the kernel boots, everything should be rerouted to com1 at 9600 baud. He also warned me that the installer program uses a gui. Well, I put in the bootfloppy and waited for disk activity to stop. I typed: -h and hit the enter key. The disk started churjning again, and nothing for about 12 seconds, and the hard drive started making noises. But, after all that no speech. I then rebooted, waited for disk activity to stop, hit enter this time, and waited for disk activities to stop again, then typed -h and enter. Still nothing. Just to make sure everything was plugged in correctly, I launched linux, and got speech running just as I usually do. If I may be doing something incorrectly, would someone please correct me. :) I almost hate to bring this up, because I know how busy the freebsd developers are. However, could it be possible to have a text-based install floppy? I can tell you first hand, I am not the first blind individual to use unix, and of course, as many of you know, freebsd does have a lot to offer. Like I said, I am not asking for a handout, but I would like to see some kind of solution if at all possible, but I understand the plates of the developers are overflowing with things to do. :) Sorry for the long post, but just wanted to update everyone on my adventures in trying to get freebsd install to talk. Thanks.

Pester Stefan (se@freebsd.org) if it > hasn't made it into 2.2-stable yet. Support of 53c875 based cards was important to me, and I spent some effort in their support at the end of last year. I did not have time to add support for extended features (like Ultra-SCSI transfers, or the on-chip SRAM of the 825A and 875), and in fact wanted to be sure, that "normal" speed transfers were working, first. (I had quite a hard time some years back, when many hardware problems were assumed to be driver bugs, most were not, but instead caused by hardware problems, often bad cables and terminators. Ultra-SCSI demands much higher cable quality again, or much shorter SCSI bus length, and since I had been unable to distinguish driver problems from hardware problems, I decided to not go for Ultra.) But the lack of Ultra support in the NCR driver has really lasted for too long, and for that reason I was glad when Gerard Roudier (again) offered to provide me with patches that he had worked out over the last few months. The code in -current contains his patches, and should fit into 2.2.x (and -stable) without problems (though I did not yet try this myself). I will wait for a few more weeks, and will then update the driver in -stable, too. The patches show significant improvement of the (already good) performance of the driver, as much as 10% in certain tests. SCSI command overhead has again been reduced, and I received the following Bonnie results from Gerard (who has a significantly faster machine than my old 486 based SP3G :) -------Sequential Output-------- ---Sequential Input-- --Random-- -Per Char- --Block--- -Rewrite-- -Per Char- --Block--- --Seeks--- Machine MB K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU /sec %CPU Atlas I 100 2436 50.4 6387 23.4 2846 18.4 2729 55.5 6576 19.3 98.0 3.8 Atlas II 100 2385 50.0 8721 39.2 3578 25.9 2767 56.2 9205 38.6 98.7 4.6 (Numbers are for a -current on a P133, 512KB cache, 32MB EDO with a WIDE Atlas and Ultra-WIDE Atlas II, I'm not sure about the zones the file systems resided in ...). If you think these numbers are low: They were measured by running two Bonnie processes simultanously, which also explains the 50% of the CPU each process got ...

I would think the best way to overcome the resolver stuff is to config your own nameserver and put all of the work/ISP nameservers in as forwarders (you probably want "options forward-only" too. I'm not sure how this works in real life though (do you still get a horrible timeout while it figures out that the first DNS isn't reachable). The alternative is a ppp.linkup script that sets up resolv.conf. > Doug White | University of Oregon > Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant > http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major > Spam routed to /dev/null by Procmail | Death to Cyberpromo > -- Brian , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....

AFTER i get the freebsd bootstrap.. i tried -c option, no luck, i am presuming the kernal cant load cuz it wasnt saved? but what's locking up when it syncs disks? oh ya, when it syncs disks it reports these numbers: syncing disks... 66 33 [locks up here] any help or if anyone wants the numbers that get printed out when i boot, lemme know.. please respond via email, as i dont subscribe to the list.. thank you for all of your time.

First time it works, SLIP goes up and lives fine, but if i disconnect or modem hangs up next time it dials number but when getting SLIP up it fails with the message: "ypm startslip [388] slnspu: ioctl (/dev/cuaa0, TIOCSETD): Device not configured". The difference beetween messages is sure only PID number. Both startslip and slattach fails this way, when i try do dial second or more times after first SLIP hangup. Nothing helps, i tried a lot of manipulations with everithing, but after reboot all goes ok again and works fine, but sure it`s a big trouble to reboot system each time after disconnecting a modem from SLIP :-( I use USR Sportster Voice 33,6 on /dev/cuaa0, computer is a usual Pentium 200 with 32M memory.

I haven't had a make world failure here since switching from FreeBSD 3.0 back to 2.2. I have cvsuped maybe 20 times since the beginning of ap ril and done a world with every one of them, without fail. The CPU is a Intel P60, with 8M of ram, 24M swap and 900M disk space total. Of course it isn't state of the art, but it works, and seems to be 100% Intel Compatible :) ---------------------------------------------- Eric A.

I did, however, talk to an engineer who had done it by porting the SCO install program. Dialogic only supplies binaries, not source, for UNIX machines. HOWEVER, they DO claim to provide Borland C source for DOS, and I'm a-thinkin' we can easily hack from there, inasmuch as the main processor doesn't do much work. For those of you who don't know, Dialogic D/21H boards are 'Computer Telephony' boards for use in voicemail and telemarketing systems. They also have voice recognition and Text-to-Speech capability. They use a memory-mapped dual port RAM to talk to an onboard Intel 80188 microcontroller which controls a Motorola 56001 DSP. Most of the code will be prepackaged modules for the DSP and the '188, so our code will be mostly a code loader. The D/21H is a $500 board, so this is not for everyone, but linking voice with web and data servers gives rise to a lot of neato stuff.

I've done that... The cards then would come back to life, but insist on making the AUI port live (which is odd because they have only a UTP port) :/ However, a little more research indicates that you can force UTP by doing "ifconfig de0 link1". Setting them this way in rc.conf means that the cards now come back online ok.

When you run adduser for the first time it prompts you for default values, including the shell. Set them there and you are all set for future users. As for root using bash, there is a school of thought that root should not have a "comfortable" shell. I subscribe to that. But it's your machine, just run vipw and change root's shell if you want to.

THe graphics card is a #9 9FX Reality 772 (ViRGE/VX). I built XFree86-3.3 because it offers better support for the ViRGE/VX chipset. My question is, Is there anything specific to FreeBSD 2.2.2-R that needs to be changed to best run XFree86-3.3; such as something from the FreeBSD-current source? The reason I'm asking, is that while 3.3 runs fine on this system, the XF86_SVGA server fails to restart after the first 'startx' session is closed on a freshly booted system. (running startx a second time results on a frozen keyboard and a blank screen). The author of XF86_S3V & XF86_SVGA is aware of this problem. They supplied me with the patches to fix it, but after applying them, and rebuilding, the 'no second restart' problem is still present. Luckily, the XF86_S3V server is ok. However, I've been told that the SVGA server is better, and that S3V will at some point be phased out. In an attempt to cover the bases, I thought I should ask this list if FreeBSD 2.2.2-R needs anything from the -current source tree to make the 3.3 or the 3.3.1 patched XF86_SVGA server happy.

You have a choice of a number of different window managers. I personally prefer fvwm2, which has the most features. To start the window manager, insert something like this in a file called .xinitrc: fvwm2 & Window managers all use a configuration file to describe the appearance of the screen and the functions available with mouse keys. Unfortunately, I can't recall what the default .fvwm2rc (the config file for fvwm2) looks like. Almost certainly, though, you'll have a menu which allows you to start other xterms (and a lot of other goodies). Try it. If you have problems, let me know. > 2.)

The last time I looked at it there was enough internal documentation to figure out how to install it. Everything goes in the usual X locations. The window manager mw takes a bit more effort. Just fire up your web browser and do a search for mw. A number of universities have pages on how to configure mw. It still is a bit rough, so don't expect many applications to run with generating errors or crashing. Even with some simple programs I copied from my "How to Program Motif" book generated quite a few run-time errors. LessTif is still under development, unless you have a great desire to assist with debugging it might be a better idea to consider purchasing a commercial port.

I am using both the narrow and wide interfaces on a single 2940. The existing disks are probed as 0, 2, 3 and 4 and are being mapped to sd0, sd1, sd2, sd3. The new disk I am adding, a seagate ST32430N, is set to ID 1 (1, 2 and 4 are available according to the documentation. Beats me, may have something to do with the fact that it was designed, manufactured to apple specs, and in fact pulled out of a mac). Ok so far except that once probed, FreeBSD assigns it sd1. I propose to do the following: (1) edit /etc/fstab bumping up sd1 to sd2, sd2 to sd3, sd3 to sd4 leaving sd0 alone (2) boot off the installation floppy, configure the new disk as FreeBSD, write the changes and back completely out of the installation. (3) reboot, newfs and label the new disk. Will this work without hosing the existing installation? If not, what do I have to do? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is output from du: Filesystem 512-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/sd0a 127134 26064 90900 22% / /dev/sd2s1e 4270428 3837038 91756 98% /A /dev/sd2s1f 4345958 3562518 435764 89% /B /dev/sd3s1e 4270428 3734362 194432 95% /C /dev/sd3s1f 4352412 3078572 925648 77% /D /dev/sd1s1e 3972990 1695492 1959660 46% /news /dev/sd1s1f 3899710 1571160 2016574 44% /swen /dev/sd0s1f 1009086 526638 401722 57% /usr /dev/sd0s1e 594846 116208 431052 21% /var procfs 8 8 0 100% /proc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ /etc/fstab # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump? fsck pass# # (0=no) (0=no fsck) /dev/sd0s1b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sd1s1b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sd0a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/sd2s1e /A ufs rw 1 1 /dev/sd2s1f /B ufs rw 1 1 /dev/sd3s1e /C ufs rw 1 1 /dev/sd3s1f /D ufs rw 1 1 /dev/sd1s1e /news ufs rw 1 1 /dev/sd1s1f /swen ufs rw 1 1 /dev/sd0s1f /usr ufs rw 1 1 /dev/sd0s1e /var ufs rw 1 1 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ relevant info from /var/messages Aug 2 19:42:36 bart /kernel: ahc0 rev 3 int a irq 11 on pci0:16 Aug 2 19:42:36 bart /kernel: ahc0: aic7870 Wide Channel, SCSI Id=7, 16 SCBs Aug 2 19:42:36 bart /kernel: ahc0 waiting for scsi devices to settle Aug 2 19:42:36 bart /kernel: (ahc0:0:0): "SEAGATE ST31230N 0300" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 Aug 2 19:42:36 bart /kernel: sd0(ahc0:0:0): Direct-Access 1010MB (2069860 512 byte sectors) Aug 2 19:42:36 bart /kernel: (ahc0:2:0): "Quantum XP34300 81HB" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 Aug 2 19:42:36 bart /kernel: sd1(ahc0:2:0): Direct-Access 4101MB (8399520 512 byte sectors) Aug 2 19:42:37 bart /kernel: (ahc0:3:0): "QUANTUM XP34550W LXY1" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 Aug 2 19:42:37 bart /kernel: sd2(ahc0:3:0): Direct-Access 4341MB (8890760 512 byte sectors) Aug 2 19:42:37 bart /kernel: (ahc0:4:0): "QUANTUM XP34550W LXY1" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 Aug 2 19:42:37 bart /kernel: sd3(ahc0:4:0): Direct-Access 4341MB (8890760 512 byte sectors) From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Aug 2 18:58:04 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id SAA27409 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 2 Aug 1997 18:58:04 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from jmb@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id SAA27402; Sat, 2 Aug 1997 18:58:01 -0700 (PDT) From: "Jonathan M.
