It is my intent to build several systems that will run both this BSD from one drive and variants of DOS/Windows from a second HD. Questions: 1. As cost is a primary concern, I had hoped to build E-IDE base systems using a Mitsumi CD drive and I/F. As the 2x Mitsumi's are no longer available and the 4x are "pricey", do I have any non-SCSI based alternatives? 2. If I have CD-ROM support under DOS/Windows (e.g., Soundblaster/CD (SB)) for the purposes of installing BSD, do I even need CD-ROM support in BSD? Does the installation fully complete before re-booting under BSD control or will it require additional access to the CD drive? 3. The folks at Walnut Creek thought that a driver for SB support might be available. If this is true would it provide me with an alternative to the Mitsumi? Would I even be able to incorporate the new device driver into the CD-ROM based installation process? IF so, where can I get a copy and would you please help me with an outline of the procedure? 4. As my target system will have two HDs, one for DOS and one for UNIX, would it be possible to: - Use SB support in Windows to setup a minimum BSD installation partition - Add the SB device driver to /dev in the installation partition - Continue the BSD installation from the new partition Your help is greatly appreciated!!!

Essentially I cannot get 2.0R to install onto an ESDI drive in an Olivetti XP9 (386 based). I was quite willing to believe it was some form of incompatability with the Olivetti and FreeBSD and ESDI until I decided to try installing 1.1.5.1 which installed first go and ran without problems. Thus it appears that something has broken in 2.0R which worked in 1.1.5.1. I have two ESDI drives on a WD1007 and then a couple of SCSI disks connceted to an Adaptec 1542B. On the first ESDI drive (304MB) the first half is DOS and the second half Unix and the second ESDI drive is going to be solely for a Unix filesystem. I can boot of the floppy and the installation from the first disk runs fine but the first time that a boot is required from the hard disk I get the following. Just after the "npx0 ..." line I get "panic: cannot mount root" and that is it when booting from the first hard disk. I have done a number of investigations regarding these disks and the controllor (a WD1007) is definitely doing translations to get the cylinders below 1024. Here is what I found: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Olivetti Low- FreeBSD DOS Level Format Utility ============================================================================ Disk 0 - Type 31 (304MB) Interleave 1 Cylinders 1409 1412 813 Heads 13 13 15 Sectors 34 35 51 Disk 0 - Type 33 (136MB) Interleave 1 Cylinders 1221 1224 819 Heads 7 7 10 Sectors 34 35 34 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am aware that the FreeBSD geometry must match that of DOS and I changed things to match the above before assigning the slice and then proceeding to setup filesystems on the first disk. The same parameters were used for the 1.1.5.1 installation which as I mentioned works fine. I don't know what else to try in order to get 2.0R up and running and the successful installation of 1.1.5.1 suggests that my hardware isn't too strange! Any help would be most helpful.

I know it is going to be tricky, because /etc/rc must be on the root partition, and mounting a directory on top of /etc it is going to make things confuse if working at all. How about allowing "init" to look for "rc" in some other directory first, say in /, so that /etc can be customized/mounted separately for each machine (say, leaving in the original /etc only the default information) ?

You are supposed to use the BIOS geometry to install the disklabel to make the boot happy, since BIOS can't handle more than 1024 cylinders. Since you note that you have a WD1007 interface, check to see if it is jumpered for "perfect media" or not. The WD1007 comes in several flavors, and one of these uses a non-linear translation (ie: it reserves replacement blocks in the middle of the media to make it look perfect). On top of that, there is the problem of BAD144, the bad tracking algorithm (which doesn't work in 2.0). The final possiblity is that 2.0 computes it's disklabel geometry from an existing DOS partition on the drive -- this is kinda bogus, unless your C/H/S values are all prime numbers -- which may result in bogus offsets when the protected mode code attempts to mount root and it's not at the expected absolute sector offset. This is also a change from the 1.x code. Any one of these could be your problem.

One is for MS-DOS and Windows and the other is for Windows NT. I am going to rearrange my partitions to make room for FreeBSD to occupy about half of the disk. Now, here is my question: Does the boot manager that is installed with FreeBSD live in peace and harmony with the boot manager that gets installed with Windows NT? If it does than it may be handy to install the OS on my company PC as well to make getting to the HP machines easier. By the way, I notice that the Walnut Creek CD-ROM of FreeBSD apears to be missing the DES encryption libraries, etc. Do I need these to get along with the UNIX network at my job?

Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Well, just thought I'd let you know that FreeBSD sees the 3com 3c503 board (finally). I'm using I/O base 0x300 at location 0xd8000 IRQ 5. I had to set the memory location by moving the jumper from 'disabled' to 0xd8000. From documentation I've seen I thought the setting in the kernel config would take care of this - apparently not. This hardware config causes the Kernel to enable 'ed1'. During bootup I see that ed1 is 'attached' and the network gateway to my host is reached, well, sort of... After the boot process, just after I get a login prompt, I get "host ed1 timed out". This *doesn't* seem to happen after every boot. When it doesn't happen, I'm able to ping my host just fine. When it does I get "host ed1 is down" and a -1 from ping. I'm totally lost on this one... All I can tell you about my kernel config that's different from generic is that bpfilter is set to 16. I don't think this should matter. I'm planning on running CAP's and was recently told to set this value for the filter. Also my ifconfig line in /etc/netstart is: ifconfig ed1 inet $hostname -link0 $hostname is, of course, the address of my host interface defined in /etc/hosts. -link0 is supposed to cause the board to use the AUI interface, 10baseT. I got a hunch that this problem is somehow related to the ifconfig arguments. Do you think I might have better luck setting the base to 0x280 and pick up 'ed0'? Does it make a difference? Any suggestions?

O'Lear" content-length: 7955 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, First of all, I would like to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed using FreeBSD 1.5.1.1. I love the many extras the FreeBSD team has added that make it more usable (the vi commands added to more, the fixed vi autoindent/backspace problems, the pkg_xxx commands and the -z flag added to tar, just to name a few) and made me choose FreeBSD over NetBSD, 386BSD, Solaris, Ultrix, HP-UX, AIX and SCO (I haven't tried Linux because I don't like SYSV, and I haven't used Ultrix, HP-UX or AIX in a few years, so maybe they are better now, but you can't beat the price of FreeBSD). The following was taken from the boot log (which should explain what version I have and my CPU type): ... kernel: FreeBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE #0: Thu Dec 22 14:10:34 PST 1994 jkh@time.cdrom.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC CPU: i486DX (486-class CPU) Id = 0x435 Origin = "GenuineIntel" real memory = 20578304 (5024 pages) ... I have some questions in the following four categories: 1) Hard drive questions: The following lines were taken from the boot log: ... kernel: wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa kernel: wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): kernel: wd0: 325MB (666600 total sec), 1010 cyl, 12 head, 55 sec, bytes/sec 512 kernel: wdc0: unit 1 (wd1): kernel: wd1: 512MB (1048576 total sec), 2048 cyl, 16 head, 32 sec, bytes/sec 512 ... Note: The last line is wrong and should read (but it never does): kernel: wd1: 256MB (524288 total sec), 1024 cyl, 16 head, 32 sec, bytes/sec 512 ^^^ ^^^^^^ ^^^^ 256 524288 1024 for the Syquest drive (wd1). If I boot with a cartridge that has only one partition (a DOS partition), I get the following message every time: kernel: wd1: changing size of 'd' partition from 524288 to 1048576 I must then change the in-core disklabel back to the right thing, before I can 'mount_msdos' it. I am assuming that it cannot find a valid 4.2BSD disklabel on it, so it is assuming that the value reported at boot time from the controller is right. If I boot with a cartridge that has a FreeBSD partition, it doesn't change the size. Is FreeBSD reading the wrong values, or is the on-board controller on the Syquest reporting the wrong thing? Also I am getting the following errors (listed are a few random ones) only with the Syquest drive, no errors ever happen on the Western Digital: kernel: wd1e: soft error reading fsbn 450853 of 450848-450863 (wd1 bn 504101; cn 984 tn 9 sn 5)wd1: status 5a error 1 kernel: wd1e: soft error reading fsbn 57650 (wd1 bn 110898; cn 216 tn 9 sn 18)wd1: status 5a error 40 kernel: wd1e: soft ecc reading fsbn 57671 of 57664-57679 (wd1 bn 110919; cn 216 tn 10 sn 7)wd1: status 5e error 40 kernel: wd1e: hard error reading fsbn 57673 of 57664-57679 (wd1 bn 110921; cn 216 tn 10 sn 9)wd1: status 5b error 40 kernel: wd1e: hard error reading fsbn 417975 (wd1 bn 471223; cn 920 tn 5 sn 23)wd1: status 5b error 1 kernel: wd1: status ff error 1 kernel: wd1: interrupt timeout: kernel: wd1: wdunwedge failed: kernel: wd1: status 5a error 0 kernel: wd1: status 5a error 1 kernel: wd1: status ff error 1 kernel: wd1d: wdstart: timeout waiting to give command reading fsbn 120 of 120-123 (wd1 bn 120; cn 0 tn 3 sn 24)wd1: status ff error 1 The only question I can ask about the above is what does it all mean? Is the controller trying to go to fast for the drive? (I never have any problems with the drive in DOS, with or without the Syquest driver). I don't seem to be loosing any data, only long delays in reading when I get one of these errors. I get most of these errors when I do an fsck. Very rarely I can manage to get through a complete fsck with no errors. And fsck never reports any errors that it has to fix, only cannot read sector n0-nx. 2) Serial I/O question: I am getting the following error when I use kermit (FreeBSD 1.5.1.1 executable) to log in to start a SLIP connection: kernel: sio0: 503 more tty-level buffer overflows (total 2391) After I log in, suspend kermit and start slattach, ifconfig sl0 ..., etc. I never get this error. Is this because kermit is not reading the input buffer fast enough? (kermit seems to be displaying the incoming text very slow -- 2 lines per second max with my 14.4 bps modem with serial port set to 38400 bps -- and looks more like a 2400 bps modem). I am getting reasonable throughput (1.8 - 0.9kbps on ftp transfers). 3) Reconfiguring the kernel question: The following line was taken from the boot log of the new kernel: kernel: FreeBSD 2.0-RELEASE #0: Sat Jan 7 00:52:27 EST 1995 After I reconfigured the kernel (I am using the 2.0-RELEASE kerndist because I couldn't find one in the 2.0-...-SNAP directory [maybe that is the problem]) I can no longer get route to work correctly. I get the following message: routed[60]: adding route to net/host 128.230.1.96 through gateway 128.230.1.96: Protocol not supported I believe that I can still ping localhost with no problem, but I cannot remember. The new kernel seems to have no other new problems associated with it (aside from 1) and 2) above). Just to see if there was something I was forgetting (in my kernel configuration file from FreeBSD 1.5.1.1) I decided to build the GENERIC and GENERICAH kernels supplied with the kerndist. Both these kernels produced the same 'Protocol not supported' messages and would not let route add any routes to the routing table. Should I be using the 2.0-RELEASE kerndist with the 2.0.5-RELEASE, or does this happen with 2.0-RELEASE install as well (I never installed 2.0-RELEASE, only the 2.0.5 snapshot). The SoundBlaster support works very well in the new kernel though. Also yes I have reconfigured the kernel many times before (using 1.5.1.1) with complete success, and yes I did do a 'make depend'. 4) Installation question: While installing the 2.0.5 snapshot, I had no problems until I chose 'Install bindist' from the menu. I chose to install from a UFS partition. When it gave me the shell, I mounted the Syquest drive with the bindist (and other xxxdist's) on it, exited from the shell and went back into the install program (very nice install program by the way!) I then proceeded and the install program said it couldn't cd to the (/syquest/usr/distrib/"bindist") directory. I tried several times before I renamed the bindist directory to "bindist" (including the quotes) and everything worked fine. This seems really strange to me that you would require the xxxdist directories to have " marks around them! I had to put quotes around every xxxdist directory before the install program would recognize these as valid install directories. Note: I didn't tell the install program that the directories had " marks around the directories, I just renamed the directories from xxxdist to "xxxdist". Is this really the way you had intended it to be, or is this a bug or what? Thanks in advance, Mark. mgolear@mailbox.syr.edu P.S. Sorry about the length, I got carried away (probably over-explaining).

It does work under 2.0R. There were some problems with panics and spontaneous reboots, but there's a one line patch that fixes it. I applied the patch two weeks ago and have had zero problems since. It's so reliable now, SOMETHING must be wrong.. :) If you can't find the patch anywhere, send me some mail and I'll see if I can find it in my archives.

Upon upgrading FreeBSD from 1.1R to 2.0R, I began to get occasional SIO overflows. So ... I "upgraded" my serial port to a "Enhance" 2S 1P port card that has an ASIC on it to provide dual "16550AFN compatibility". It uses the StarTek chipset ( ooohhh, a NAME BRAND ! ). I can transfer files using Procomm under MSDOG, and I can establish connections to other machines under FreeBSD 2.0R using cu. But ... after I slattach, I no longer receive any packets in response to bootptest, ping, etc. And to make life even more interesting, If I kill the slattach process, my machine locks up and then spontaneously reboots. If I change the serial cards back to my old crusty favorites, this problem goes away. - Steve Bartling P.S. Another friend of mine is having the exact same problems but with a different serial card.

What happens if you don't bring them down and fsck them nightly? You should be able to go for weeks, if not months, without having to fsck anything..

Yeah, I made this same mistake, thinking there was none of the stuff mentioned on the back of the cdrom's package. They're all there, I can assure you... On the cdrom, in a directory named /cdrom/ports/distfiles are all of the tar files for all of the packages that can be installed on your FreeBSD system. In /cdrom/ports/*/*, you'll find all of the packages that have been ported to FreeBSD. What I did was tar the /cdrom/ports (except for distfiles) directory over to my hard drive in /usr/ports, then created a symbolic link from /usr/ports/distfiles to /cdrom/ports/distfiles, and now all I have to do is go to one of the directories that I want to create the package of, type make, and wait... The makefile will extract the files from the distfiles directory, and then make the package. Type make install, and viola! To use the pkg_add stuff, just log in as root, cd to /cdrom/packages and do a "pkg_add " and wait. It seems that many of these packages weren't packaged too well, but all of them are in the ports directory too, so you can go there if the pre-packaged ones don't work. questions? write me. keith.

I'd like to be able to boot FreeBSD and then mount the dos partitions from the IDE disk. I guess this is possible with pcfs (?)

I reckon these are the cards of choice myself and apparently people are picking them up for ridiculous prices in the US. You want to look for PCnet or Lance based cards to use the lnc driver. The is driver is going to be dropped probably after the next release since it's now superceded by the lnc driver. Someone in the NetBSD lists said they picked up a 32 bit PCI PCnet card for $79! Apparently it needs PCI config support to be written into the driver before it will work since the driver doesn't know the irq pin etc. If someone wants to send me one I'll happily get it to work.

Brant Katkansky. [snip] I ended up configuring the board to coexist with my existing I/O card: sio2-sio7 sharing IRQ 5. I had to relocate my tape controller to eliminate a conflict: # ports on standard atio card device sio0 at isa? port 0x3f8 tty irq 4 vector siointr device sio1 at isa? port 0x2f8 tty irq 3 vector siointr # ports on boca ioat66 device sio2 at isa? port 0x220 tty flags 0x705 device sio3 at isa? port 0x228 tty flags 0x705 device sio4 at isa? port 0x3e8 tty flags 0x705 device sio5 at isa? port 0x2e8 tty flags 0x705 device sio6 at isa? port 0x3e0 tty flags 0x705 device sio7 at isa? port 0x2e0 tty flags 0x705 irq 5 vector siointr After compiling the kernel and installing the card, I booted the system to single user. All eight ports were recognized, so it looks good. I haven't had the opportunity to actually test them. (Anyone know a source for 10 conductor RJ45 to DB25?) Anyways, I attempted to bring the system up to multiuser at this point. This is where the fun really began. :( Fsck failed on /dev/rsd2a with a "device not configured" error. fdisk and disklabel looked fine. I've seen this before, and restoring the disklabel always worked in the past. So I restored the disklabel on rsd2d, and rebooted the system. Same story. I went through this process a couple more times, and what ended up working was: disklabel -r -w /dev/rsd2d cdc_94171-327 sync; sync; sync; reboot The only difference from the other three times was that I shut it down without manually syncing and did a shutdown -r instead. So I rebooted again, let it come up to multi-user... It appeared to hang loading mountd. I waited for a couple of minutes, and finally ended up doing a ^C, and let rc and rc.local finish their business. This machine is configured as an xdm server, and it came up normally, except that the keyboard was unresponsive. I couldn't switch to another virtual console as I used to be able to, and I couldn't enter my username/password at the xdm prompt. So I telnetted in from another machine, killed xdm hoping that I'd get a login prompt. No luck, just a blank screen and a flashing cursor. Again, I couldn't switch to another virtual console. I disabled xdm and mountd and rebooted the system. Everything else at this point seems very normal. Anybody got any clues they want to give me?

I get the login: prompt and type in a valid username, then I see Password:, I type in the password, and nothing happens. I'm not sure if it's hanging before or after it tries to get the password, but after I see that prompt (no newline), I see no further output. This didn't happen with 1.1.5.1, so I'm assuming it's some sort of machine authentication or S/Key type thing. I also noticed that I cannot telnet in from public Macs around campus, but for the password prompt, I get "Password (S/Key required):" or something to that effect, so I'm assuming that the server problem is not caused by S/Key. I have no problems telnetting in from other unix boxes (most of which are SunOS or Solaris). Any idea what default 2.0 security thing could be messing me up?

I am indeed logged in on tty00. uuramjet is a phantom entry. uuramjet is a uucp login, and it's been logged out for almost three hours, as is proved by my uucp log: uucico - - (1995-01-09 22:55:12.92 6054) Incoming call (login uuramjet port tty01) uucico ramjet - (1995-01-09 22:55:13.50 6054) Handshake successful (protocol 'i' sending packet/window 1024/16 receiving 1024/16) uucico ramjet root (1995-01-09 22:55:14.75 6054) Receiving rmail ramjet.dtr.com!roger (1763 bytes) uucico ramjet root (1995-01-09 22:55:15.62 6054) Receiving rmail ramjet.dtr.com!rjc (1318 bytes) uucico ramjet root (1995-01-09 22:55:16.34 6054) Receiving rmail ramjet.dtr.com!roger (1696 bytes) uucico ramjet - (1995-01-09 22:55:17.04 6054) Protocol 'i' packets: sent 8, resent 0, received 14 uucico ramjet - (1995-01-09 22:55:17.24 6054) Call complete (5 seconds 4777 bytes 955 bps) uuxqt ramjet root (1995-01-09 22:55:19.85 9679) Executing X.ramjetC0044 (rmail ramjet.dtr.com!roger) uuxqt ramjet root (1995-01-09 22:55:20.92 9679) Executing X.ramjetC0047 (rmail ramjet.dtr.com!rjc) uuxqt ramjet root (1995-01-09 22:55:21.84 9679) Executing X.ramjetC004a (rmail ramjet.dtr.com!roger) uux ramjet daemon (1995-01-09 23:00:17.76 9703) Queuing rmail rjc@ramjet.dtr.com (D.001N) uux ramjet daemon (1995-01-09 23:00:18.78 9704) Queuing rmail roger@ramjet.dtr.com (D.001Q) uux ramjet daemon (1995-01-09 23:00:19.83 9705) Queuing rmail roger@ramjet.dtr.com (D.001T) Just for kicks, here's the output of last | head -20 (with some notes): bmk tty00 Tue Jan 10 00:01 still logged in # Here's the entry I'm talking about. uuramjet tty01 Mon Jan 9 22:55 still logged in # Here it is again.

If this was just my personal system, I wouldn't care. The problem is that I need to account for every minute of login time, ESPECIALLY that done on sio ports. I'd be happy to try and hunt this bug down, even though I'm not a C wizard, but I'm very desparate to get a fix for this. Has anyone else seen this, and is there some kind of fix or workaround? Where should I start looking for this possible bug? It looks to me that wtmp is not always getting updated when the user logs out, but it never seems to happen on ptys. HELP! Free pizza and beer to the person who can help me fix this... but you'll have to visit Portland to collect!

Sorry to follow up to my own message, but I have some additional data that proves it's only a problem on sio ports, the output from last for tty00, tty01, ttyv0, and ttyp0 is included at the end of this message, sorted by port. -- bmk tty00 Tue Jan 10 00:01 still logged in bmk tty00 Mon Jan 9 21:10 -

My problem was simple in hindsight. I had booted DOS first, aborted a lengthy configuration of my sound card, tested the serial ports, then "warm-booted" my machine ( ctrl-alt-del ). I then brought up FreeBSD. By this process, my sound card was partially configured and the software programmable IRQ's ended up conflicting with other cards installed in my system ( including the serial ports ). I can duplicate this behavior at any time. The solutions are simple .. A) Never abort the configuration of my sound card during DOS boot. B) Power down the system before booting unix. C) Boot straight into unix. Options (A) and (C) sound fine with me. Thanks for the feedback. - Steve Bartling > > > So ...

I didnt save a copy of the message, so could someone please forward this message to him if they can find his email address? Anyway, I am in the process of writing a driver for my CR-563 CDROM drive, using various other drivers I have found for the drive as a guide...I didnt want to do a port of sbpcd from linux to freebsd because 1) the code is GPL'ed and 2) i think the code is really a mess because it has support for essentially two different drive types, old drives, such as the CR-52x series, and new drives, such as the CR-56x ones... Both drive types have incompatible command sets and therefore I feel they should be split up between two different drivers if possible, or at least between two different source files. It is really a pain to follow all the if(new_drive) { } if(!new_drive) { } if(old_drive) { } if(!old_drive) type of code when debugging. The only problem I have doing this driver is that I can find no technical information on the drive...Most companies I spoke with do not seem willing to give out the information...I'm still pursuing it though...Hopefully when (if) i receive it I can type up some formal documentation for the drives and include it with the device driver to help others who attempt to work on the drives...If anyone has any documentation on either the CR-52x or CR-56x or perhaps any other drive that will attach to a soundblaster-pro/ lasermate/SPEA style-cdrom-controller, please contact me... Currently the cdrom driver will play audio-cd's just fine...I am in the process of trapping all the various events (cdrom change, door open, etc) and then I will write the code for data cdrom's. It currently only supports my CR-563 drive, but if I can find someone that would be willing to temporarily loan me an "old" drive and/or controller I may be able to work on supporting some other drives.

Or don't access network resources in your system or personal .login/.profile/ .cshrc/.bashrc/etc. This is generally a good rule of thumb in any case, especially for things like amd auto-mounts in your PATH (make them static mounts instead). Also, if you *must* access network resources in the PATH, put them last. For network operations in the startup scripts (like, say, auto-setting the X display from the remote host name, etc.), put out messages that that's what's going on.

It seems impossible to get this to work. :-( The current config: ASUS P54SP4, 256k cache 32 Mb (2x16Mb) Buslogic 946C rev b, rom 4.86 standard ET4000/P32 Floppy connected to the MB, and IDE disabled. Symptoms: Either the machine doesn't even boot. No beep, no nothing. :-( or it boots and shows the buslogic boxed message, but fails to show the extra message where it comes to asking to press CTRL-B to goto the BusLogic setup. Now the ASUS MB is pretty simple in that it puts all INT's on INT A, and it has a BIOS setup where one can hardwire a interrupt to a particular slot. But all settings fail. And when I have the feeling that the interrupt of the BusLogic and the MB match, then it doesn't even give the first Beep. I've "verified" the working of the Buslogic by placing it in my other 486/PCI motherboard and there it simply boots. How has this working, and how did you do it?

I want to determine whether a driver for the adapter is built in to the latest release of FreeBSD (the v1.14 FAQ of 1994/12/29 lists several Adaptec series, but not this one, so I suspect not) or whether it is possible to load the appropriate driver at boot time and to make this 'automatic'. If you've been through this question, can you advise me or point me to drivers and instructions for configuration? Also, has anyone undertaken development of support for the AHA-2940 for FreeBSD?

This drive just doesn't not work whether it be DOS, FreeBSD, or any other operating system.. If you have such a drive the only solution is to replace it. I've never seen the exact error message you're talking about, but then I've only seen the error from Linux and DOS, so it is going to be different. We had a drive here that was manufactured as late as April 1994 that didn't work. I'm not sure when the cut off is when this was fixed in the assembly line, but I would check the manufacturer date on it first. If it's not early 1994 model, then I'm not sure what the problem is.

Hi - I fought this battle for a few days and managed to get it to work. Now that it works it is *really* nice - so it was worth it. :-) I used the default configuration for configure adapter. I have heard that you might want to select interrupt pin C but I didn't have to. Configure device: You might want to initially turn off sync negotiation, disconnection, and fast transfer depending on what your disk can do. Enable bios send start for the devices you have. Advanced options: disable DOS space > 1gb Now motherboard: L2 cache fastest Cache burst r/w cycle 2T Memory shadow video disabled, option ROM's disabled PCI master access shadow RAM enabled CPU to PCI burst write enabled CPU to PCI post memory write enabled Finally: Some of the older scsi-2 drives (like my HP) won't boot from the buslogic controller. I had to switch temporarily to a seagate hawk in order to make my boot disk. I use the HP as a data disk with the buslogic just fine. Hint: Use the boot floppy as a debugging tool to make sure the kernel sees the card and that the settings look right.

Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Trying to get my 3com 3c503 card to work under FreeBSD 2.0 has been a very frustrating experience, to say the least. I've gone over the jumper settings on the card making sure they match the entry in my kernel config file for the 'ed0' driver. It's at base I/0 0x280, memory location 0xd8000. I discovered that the factory setting for the interrupt on the card is 3 not 5 so, as a result, changed this in my kernel config to match. During bootup I see that the driver does attach itself to the board with no other complaints about any interrupt conflicts. All goes well until just before I get the login prompt. I get a message from the kernel: Kernel: 'ed0' device time out If I try to ping another machine on the network I'll get this message a couple of times before it tells me that 'host ed0 is down' or something to that effect. There's a couple of areas in question that I'm thinking could be causing this. The interrupt vector for the card. Does the ed0 driver have to use interrupt 5? If it's changed in the kernel config does the compiled code for the kernel get to know about this change? Second, I'm really, really not sure about the ifconfig entry in my /etc/netstart file. I added the ifconfig entry just after the line that sets the local host. It's the only thing that was added to the original. The entry that I entered was: ifconfig ed0 inet myhostaddress -link0 MyHostAddress is 97.3.5.124 and -link0 supposedly tells the driver to use the AUI interface. I'm totally baffled with this and, having spent almost a week with it, ready to give up. If this is as baffling to everyone else, is there an adapter card that someone could recommend that works without having to go through this torture?

It doesn't have to, but it's a real good idea - the 3c503 can only be configured for irq 2-5...irq 3 and 4 are for COM1/COM2, so this leaves just irq 2 (9) and irq 5. If you can't get 5 to work, try changing the card to use irq 2 and change your kernel config to use irq 9 (they are the same thing, but irq '9' is more correct). >The entry that I entered was: > > ifconfig ed0 inet myhostaddress -link0 > >MyHostAddress is 97.3.5.124 and -link0 supposedly tells the driver to use >the AUI interface.

When I first brought up 2.0 on Journey2, I got the cdrom using ftp from n3lxx, my 1.1.5.1 machine. Since then, to give myself visibility to the 2.0 cdrom on Journey2, I mounted it on n3lxx's /cdrom directory, then did an nfs mount from Journey2 to n3lxx:/cdrom. This worked ok until today. Today, my other nfs mounts between both machines work ok, but whenever I try to mount n3lxx:/cdrom from Journey2, Journey2 waits for the mount, giving occaisonal portmap timeout error warnings, and I get one new mountd process *each second* started on n3lxx. I can kill the mountd processes on n3lxx, but they create so fast, I have to quickly reboot or I think I'd risk overflowing a resource somewhere (I probably have more than 100 mountd processes by that time). Portmap's alive on both machines, and the other mounts still work fine, I checked it both before and after the cdrom mount attempt. Any ideas what could be wrong? Thanks.

What do I need to do to get this working? A friend of mine had a similar problem with a deskjet. I'm not sure where he got it, but I think this is the filter he used to fix the problem: #!/usr/local/bin/bash echo -ne \\033\&k2G cat echo -ne \\f Apparently it sends some sort of code to the DeskJet to tell it to print the right thing. The above script should go (I think) in an "of" statement, such as: lp|djet500:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\ :of=/usr/local/bin/pfilter: Anyway, give it a whirl.

I just took the time to mount /tmp as an mfs file system, and have made some interesting measurements. It seems that on my machine (a 486DX4/100) writes to a mfs file system are slower than writes to a real file system. I made the changes to my file system after hearing that access to the mfs files should be faster. A 26 meg file took 23 seconds to write to /, and over a minute to write to the mfs partition.

Since mfs is ultimately backed by swap space, its speed is found by using RAM. Since you are writing such a big file (something like 25M?), you are forcing your machine to swap. MFS is best used for storing temporary files such as the ones that GCC spits out durring a compile -- if you have enough free RAM, then those files never have to hit disk, hence compiles happen much quicker. I've seen one problem with MFS, though. Say I want to print a really big 3 -> 4M postscript file. If I lpd it directly, it tends to error out saying that the file is too large (is this tuneable? I've not RT(right)FM on that one). So, I use lpr -s, which makes a sym link to the file as opposed to copying the file to the print spool area. When I try that trick with something that is in my /tmp (a MFS), I get the following error: "Your printe job was not printed because it was not linked to the original file." Oh well!

MSdos partition works fine. I tried to setup BSD first and then DOS but after setting up BSD I would not be bale to recognize dos and to assign partition to it. Another thing, for some reason, DOS did not default to the h partition of the DISKLABEL editor. It would always be a assign as an E partition.

Check that you don't have ttyd* with the same device numbers as tty0*. In FreeBSD-2.0, MAKEDEV allows creating both but not both at the same time. In FreeBSD-current, MAKEDEV only creates ttyd* and doesn't attempt to clean up junk tty0* left by a previous version. You shouldn't have tty0* if you are running -current.

I grabbed the newest 1.44mb boot disk and the cpio disk from ftp.cdrom.com. Everything works great until I finish specifying mount points on my FreeBSD partition and begin copying /stand to the drive. At some point while copying these files from the install floppy, the floppy drive grinds 3 times and an error message appears on-screen. Unfortunately it's rather unceremoniously overwritten by the progress window, since the install program tries to keep chugging along. It's at some point during the zcat since zcat reports an I/O error as well. Anyway the install finishes, and the kernel is bootable off the hard drive, but then I get the following: exec /stand/sysinstall: error 8 or something to that effect. I guess I should have written it down. At this point the kernel panics and the system reboots. I've tried 3 different floppy disks and 3 different kernels (all from the pub/FreeBSD/2.0-RELEASE/floppies/newer directory) and I get the same result each time. I've also tried disabling internal and external cache and running the CPU at 8MHz during the install. Has anyone else experienced this behavior, or has a suggestion for me? My system configuration follows: Gateway 486DX2-66 VLB (Micronics JX30 motherboard) 24MB RAM Buslogic BT445S (revision F) (note -- floppy is running off mboard controller, not the BT445S floppy controller) WD AC2340 340MB IDE drive (drive 0) Conner CP30540 520MB SCSI-2 drive (drive 1, where I'm installing FreeBSD) I'm not yet on all the appropriate FreeBSD mailing lists (just announce) so I'd appreciate it if you could cc: me in your replies or mail me directly.

It seems to be getting worse every day, so I hope someone has an idea. I was having problems remotely mounting a cdrom directory from my 1.1.5.1 machine wheere it's resident, to my 2.0 machine. I would get a symptom of mountd's being created once a second, and no way I could find to stop it. The mountd's are being created on the 1.1.5.1 machine. Yesterday, this happened on NFS mounts of normal directories, so I disabled nfs in /etc/netstart, and I've been looking for the problem.

If you're talking to a cisco router, for example, then you have no choice but to roll them with a standard male DB-25 connector on the other end. I have all the tools for making RJ-45 and RJ-11 connectors (and know how to use them :-), and I'm certainly happier with that arrangement.

Now, I want to add a 540 MB SCSI drive. My problem is that I'm trying to dump every thing to a floppy tape and keep getting the message kernel: ft0: unexpected inturrupt; st0=$20 pcn=19 The unexpected inturrupt I can guess, can anyone help with the rest of the message and any ideas on how to fix it. My system: Intel 486DX-33 ETEQ chipset 16MB ram Buslogic 545S with floppy disabled generic FDD/IDE controller with ACC3201 chipset Conner CMQ250 floppy tape drive FreeBSD 2.0 from the Walnut Creek CDROM Running a modified GENERIC kernel with the BT driver disabled and PAS sound support enabled.
