Boot the FreeBSD install floppy with "-v" and when sysinstall comes up, use the scrollback to look for the "BIOS geometries" message. There are often (but not always) BIOS options related to "big disks" which will change these values. FreeBSD is constrained to follow these in order to have the bootloader work. If you can't tweak these values, then you're stuck. One workaround is to make a small DOS partition (2-300M), then your FreeBSD partition, then an extended DOS partition behind it. > Is that because there isn't one, or is that because I haven't found it? > Has anyone found a way around this, or am I going to be adjusting my > partitions? At the moment, we can't be booted from a partition above the 1024 cylinder mark. With 3.0 we will be able to do this, but you will have to use something like System Commander as a boot selector, as booteasy still won't be able to reach beyond the 1024 cylinder mark. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-mobile Sun Sep 6 19:25:28 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id TAA29716 for freebsd-mobile-outgoing; Sun, 6 Sep 1998 19:25:28 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from lambic.physics.montana.edu (lambic.physics.montana.edu [153.90.192.128]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id TAA29710 for ; Sun, 6 Sep 1998 19:25:26 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from handy@lambic.physics.montana.edu) Received: from localhost (handy@localhost) by lambic.physics.montana.edu (8.8.8/8.8.7) with SMTP id UAA04985; Sun, 6 Sep 1998 20:24:42 -0600 (MDT) (envelope-from handy@lambic.physics.montana.edu) Date: Sun, 6 Sep 1998 20:24:42 -0600 (MDT) From: Brian Handy To: Mike Smith cc: freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Partitioning HD's on a TP In-Reply-To: <199809062212.PAA10291@word.smith.net.au> Message-ID: X-files: The truth is out there MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org [I've solved my own problem... >> I'm setting up an IBM TP560X with a relatively gargantuan 6.4GB hard drive >> to run Win95 and FreeBSD. >> >> My plan was to make the Win95 partition 2GB and give the rest to FreeBSD, >> but I seem to be bumping up against the "keep all your root partitions >> below the 1024 cylinder limit" problem.

OK, I figured out what's up. I was starting with blank, empty hard drives, and sysinstall wasn't getting the geometry right. I went in with MS-DOS, fdisk and format and made partitions and formatted the first one. Having done this, suddenly the disk geometry changed completely and I was able to do what I wanted to do. Interestingly...FreeBSD guessed the geometry to have something like 13,000 cylinders on a 6.4GB HD. When I DOS-formatted the first partition, that number dropped down to < 900. :-) SO: The TP's seem to have LBA in the BIOS. (I think that's what this means anyway.) Always keep your old MS-DOS floppies running around.

Then I created /etc/rc.conf.extra.home (for example) with: pccard_ifconfig="inet 10.0.0.2" defaultrouter="10.0.0.1" and a shell script that lets me just run "location home" and have pccard_location="home" put into /etc/pccard_location. The same applies for any number of locations. Pretty simple modificatons; just FYI if anyone else was wanting to do the same thing but hadn't bothered to. Now, the next step would be to have a GPS that would automatically determine the location it was in and config appropriately.

I'm right now trying to work out a way to use the BIOS information, but there's a fundamental problem related to mapping the BIOS drive number to a BSD major/minor pair. 8( > SO: The TP's seem to have LBA in the BIOS.

This personality # contains the "reference" copies of configuration files, and is used # when creating new personalities. The files which are currently # considered part of the system's personality are those contained in # the base personality. # # A new personality is established by making a copy of the base # personality under a new name. Each personality maintains a # separate copy of all configuration files under /etc/personality. # # To install a new personality, the files currently in place are # saved back to the current personality as indicated in # /etc/personality/current, and the files for the new personality # copied into place. The 'select' and 'menu' commands which perform # these installations are implemented in such a fashion as to only # require the tools available on the root filesystem, so that they # may be invoked at the earliest stage during system startup. # # If the current personality has become damaged, it can be restored # from the saved copy. # # Files can be added to and removed from the personality set. When # a new file is added, it is copied from the current system into all # personalities and added to the list file. When a file is removed # the current version is kept in place, but all copies are removed # from saved personalities and the file is removed from the list. # # XXX To Do : # Files can be inherited by one personality from another.

I agree that, in general, when you need changed resolv.conf, and arbitrary other files it may make sense. But you still need other changes; either modifying pccard_ether with hacks or replacing it, replacing rc.conf, etc. And it really doesn't make sense to completely replace either of those just for one or two settings. I don't see anywhere that I can completely replace a file to change the IP address and default route without also having a lot more baggage around.

I ended up sourcing the '. rc.conf' each time and then overriding a few. Unfortunately not all DHCP servers supply all values. So that ends up beeing messy too.

I suggest you check that you've set the Wavelan Network ID (nwid) correctly with the wlconfig command. There are alternate drivers available from: ftp:// monarch.cs.cmu.edu/pub/monarch/drivers. I have used these with 2.2.5 and PAO. They are supposed to support roaming but I ran into a problem with the nwid getting corrupted when roaming was enabled. The most recent release is from 971217 so I'm not sure if they'll work with the 2.2.6 release of PAO. -Doug From: eddy@isi.edu To: Panos GEVROS cc: freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG, eddy@kit.isi.edu Subject: Re: PAO waveLan driver and 2.2.6 In-Reply-To: <2222.900604270@cs.ucl.ac.uk> References: <2222.900604270@cs.ucl.ac.uk> X-Mailer: VM 6.31 under 20.2 XEmacs Lucid i had a somewhat different problem, i just got a micron laptop with a 3com etherlinkIII, pci card. i could see it xmitting packets (arp, icmp, etc.) and i could (on another machine), see the packets responded to. however, the laptop would act as though it saw nothing except for a rare occasion. tcpdump would intermittenlty, dump out a gob of packets (mostly mcast or bcast). it turned out the built in sound card had an interupt conflict irq5 with the pci bus (i think this was the problem). anyway, i finally configured the soundcard to use irq10 and rebuilt the freebsd kernel with this new irq value, i took a hint from the boot process that recognized the sound card when probing (the standard snd sb compatible) card when, but would report the sound card was not configured due to a conflict. that did it, i guess the sound card was left as a rougue interupt thief. configuring it, put it in it's place :) this may not be your problem, but may be worth considering. - rusty To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-mobile Tue Sep 8 15:06:48 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id PAA22510 for freebsd-mobile-outgoing; Tue, 8 Sep 1998 15:06:48 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from localhost.isi.edu ([128.9.161.212]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id PAA22503 for ; Tue, 8 Sep 1998 15:06:46 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from zappala@cs.uoregon.edu) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by localhost.my.domain (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id UAA00541; Sun, 6 Sep 1998 20:55:16 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from zappala@localhost.my.domain) Message-Id: <199809070355.UAA00541@localhost.my.domain> X-Mailer: exmh version 2.0.2 2/24/98 To: Brian Handy cc: freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Partitioning HD's on a TP In-reply-to: Your message of "Fri, 04 Sep 1998 14:00:25 MDT."

I > whacked the WIDE one to do that, but it's ugly. Why? ISC's dhcp server (it is a port) is happy to do bootp (for those boxes which do not speak DHCP). However with DHCP, you can also configure name service, routers, etc. I am running the isc dhcp server from the port on one machine on the home network. It was easy to configure and works well (about half the machines on the net rely on it). It took about an hour to figure out the isc dhcp client config to make it work everywhere on my 2.2.6 laptop. My laptop works when I plug it in at home, it works when I plug it in at the university, it works when I plug it in at any client sites where they are running DHCP.

To be honest, however, I'd say your chances of making it work with 'fe' are probably pretty good. When you say "nothing", what do you mean? I presume you're getting "driver allocation failed for..." messages? Note that the 'fe' sources mention the MBH10304 as being incompatible with the MBH10302, so I guess you're 50/50 there. You could add some debugging to if_fe.c and see if it's finding anything. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-mobile Thu Sep 10 05:21:41 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id FAA15870 for freebsd-mobile-outgoing; Thu, 10 Sep 1998 05:21:41 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from ihgw2.lucent.com (ihgw2.lucent.com [207.19.48.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id FAA15865 for ; Thu, 10 Sep 1998 05:21:37 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from rsi@placebo.ho.lucent.com) Received: from placebo.ho.lucent.com by ihig2.firewall.lucent.com (SMI-8.6/EMS-L sol2) id HAA23113; Thu, 10 Sep 1998 07:10:03 -0500 Received: (from rsi@localhost) by placebo.ho.lucent.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA02268; Thu, 10 Sep 1998 08:23:47 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: <199809101223.IAA02268@placebo.ho.lucent.com> To: Chris Shenton Cc: freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Laptop address acquisition, static/dynamic, home/work References: <86u32h746y.fsf@samizdat.uucom.com> From: Rajappa Iyer Date: 10 Sep 1998 08:23:46 -0400 Reply-To: rsi@lucent.com X-Mailer: Gnus v5.6.41/XEmacs 20.4 - "Emerald" Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Chris Shenton writes: > I'm tired of manually changing the IP, name, defaultroute, and > resolv.conf when I drag it between home (static IP) and work > (corporate DHCP, I manually assign).

I've always felt that FreeBSD should have the equivalent of "cardctl scheme " in Linux which lets you switch between different network configuration. It basically calls the network init script with the schemename and you could set up your params based on that. Once, many moons ago, I started on hacking up something like that, but it sorta fell by the wayside and I never worked up the energy to look at it again. Maybe I should, unless anyone knows of anything equivalent which already exists. Regards, Rajappa -- Rajappa Iyer #include We're too busy mopping the floor to turn off the faucet.

(I had to fiddle with XF86Config a bit, but I don't feel like I've done my job unless I've had to fiddle that knob.) The thing is, I think RedHat signed the NDA and wrote the driver -- replete with the bits to get the accelleration to work. This driver is a bit slow in comparison, I'm told. It would just be neat to get the accelleration stuff working too. (RedHat says on their web page they'll be releasing the source to XFree86 if and when NeoMagic allows them to.)

Also, the next problem.... if you've got an IrDA port, make sure it's disabled. If it's not, the sio probe fails and the card controller gets IRQ3.

Do you get any errors?

These errors are strangely reminiscent of "sio buffer overflow" errors I've seen elsewhere, though. One of the more worldly on this list [Hello msmith? :-] will probably have an idea what this means.

So far I have been unsuccessful in getting the modem to work in my Dell under FreeBSD. I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck in getting this card to work under FreeBSD and if so what did it take? In particular I am wondering about: the appropriate entry for /etc/pccard.conf and any changes/additions/deletions to the kernel that I might need to make. Are there specific options that I need to have built? Specific devices? In case this is pertinent, I used the PAO installation diskette and the 2.2.6 CD for the initial installation. Since then I have been using cvsup to track the STABLE branch and I've done a make world and rebuilt the kernel a couple of times. Colin E.
