Here's my situation: a. When I try to install from the CD-ROM, after booting from the floppy diskettes and partitioning the SCSI hard drive, the installation program cannot read from my SCSI CD-ROM attached to my Adaptec 1542A SCSI controller. b. After copying the contents of the CD-ROM to an MS-DOS hard drive partition, I cannot get the installation program to install from the MS-DOS partition. It says that it cannot mount /dev/sd0e, the name for the MS-DOS partition. Here are my questions: 1. What is the proper way to install from an MS-DOS hard disk partition? 2. How can I make floppies to install the entire thing from floppy disks? 3. How do I fill in the information fields in order to install using FTP from freebsd.cdrom.com? I have a SLIP account with us.net, but it was not clear to me how to fill in the FTP fields. For instance, what is the "IP number" for freebsd.cdrom.com? Do I use my IP address, user name, and host name from US Net, even though I am not connected at that point? Thanks for you help!

The instructions are quite clear, but when I tried to install it, it worls not make a bootable disk for me to proceed. I have a 486SX, 33 MHz computer, with 200MB of hard disk, 4 MB RAM, 3.5" 1.44mb Floppy disk drive Double Speed CD-ROM, Adaptec AHA, SCSI host adapter, Sound blaster 16 sound card, I bought the FreeBSD 2.0.(un*x type 32 bit OS) In the instructions for installing are as follows. copied from the BSDdisk... ____________________________________________________________________ Before you do anything, make two 1.44MB floppies from the two image files you'll find in the floppies/ directory - boot.flp and cpio.flp. If you're reading this under DOS, you can do it in 1 easy step, or 3 in case this doesn't (for some weird reason) work: 1. If you're reading this file after typing "go", simply ESC back out for a moment and select the "makeflp" batch file to make the two floppies. This will invoke the DOS formatter to format the floppies and then attempt to write the two disk images onto them. If this doesn't work, follow steps 2 through 4: 2. Use the DOS format command to format 2 NEW floppies. A lot of problems have been caused by people using old and defective floppies, and much grief can often be saved by simply using new, or at least trusted, media. 3. Insert the first floppy and type: tools\dos-tool\rawrite floppies\boot.flp a: 4. Insert the second floppy and type tools\dos-tool\rawrite floppies\cpio.flp a: You're now prepared to boot from the boot floppy and begin the installation. ______________________________________________________________________ When I try by running "GO" from windows it automatically prompts to format the floppy. I do that. Then when it writes to the disk, it aborts and prints "disk write protected" on the screen. Once this happens I cannot read the disk on DOS. I guess it changes the format. I tried steps 2,3 and 4. The same thing happens. I went ahead and booted the system using the floppy anyway. Won't work. Nothing happens. The screen is blank. I will appreciate if you can take the time and help me here. If you need any further information, my E-mail address is Sundarnag@aol.com Thanks again.

Definately yes on gcc, TeX, perl, as well as pounds of other stuff (complete X, various mail/news readers, etc.) It's a VERY complete system. > How much do i have to pay? Conditions? Guarantee?

Paying depends on how you get it; CD-ROMs are generally in the $20+ region depending on what you get on the ROM (Walnut Creek info can be obtained at "http://www.cdrom.com".) Terms and conditions are specified in the Web page noted earlier. No guarantees - this is free software; but to be honest I've found it to be VERY reliable.

A "correct" implementation would require file system changes to insure cross volume staggered synchronization and two drive recovery using fsck to pick "more correct" information for best recovery. A quick and dirty implementation would require the minimum work, that of abstracting geometry and offset information for non-identical drives to provide the lessor of two sector extents in the case that the disks are not identical. It would also require "perfect media" -- or pseudo-perfect. For other than SCSI, this means getting BAD144 working reliably. If you didn't do this, indexing would be a nightmare, as would identically selecting inodes and disk blocks for use without some kind of master/slave relationship between the drives (symmetry is the key). This probaly means VM changes for dirty page handling. I would suggest checking out the papers on Zebra and other high availability work in the past Proceedings of Usenix (ftp.sage.usenix.org).

This wasn't a snipe at you for asking the question; I don't do that, especially for things posted to questions. Even generic UNIX questions that should be answered in a different forum, like how do I get the current directory in my prompt.

Second> So I did reboot my system, and I did check 2 things; % dmesg | grep sio sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa sio1 .... sio2 ..... sio3 .... % ls -l /dev/tty00 crw-rw-rw 1 root wheel 28, 0 ... At this point, I do not know what is the problem and how to make my mouse active for X server... I will appreciate any help from you.. Thanks.

Yes, of course you can boot FreeBSD from a diskette. Either you can download the FreeBSD-2.x boot.flp and cpio.flp or you can create the floppies from images supplied on the CD-ROM. If you have a DOS partition covering the entire disk there is a method (though not guaranteed) to shrink the partitions once you have defragmented it (sd.exe, fips.exe). Then you can create an additional FreeBSD partition. You also can mount the DOS partition from FreeBSD. > > 2) exactly how much of my hard drive is FreeBSD going to eat away??? You can start with as little as 60 MB (w/o X11, w/o manpages. w/o games, w/o sources). Recommended are 350 MB. > > sincerely, > glen starchman > vidiot@cyberspace.com > > --Chris Christoph P. U.

Please help. Since the SNAPS are shapshots of a "very current" release, I think its addressed mainly for people, who know what they do or for people who want to play around to see, what they can expect in 2.1. The SNAPS are additionally being made for the developers so that they get faster feedback, if there is something wrong, with drivers or programs. So I think you expect a bit too much. If I were you, I would do a fullbackup in any cases, even if there would be an upgrade path ! And, when you have a full backup ... then I really would install from scratch. Because this is every time a good occasion to get a fresh unfragmented filesystem... Additionally you could make a script to save some urgently needed system files on a floppy, if your backup device shouldn't be fast, to get your system (uucp,sendmail,net,nameserver,etc.) faster up and running. Another way would be to get only the sources of the snapshot and to do a make world or such ... But such bootstrapping things can sometimes be nasty I think ... Be brave, make fullbackup and install from scratch. A good occasion to check Jordans new system installation routines ;-) Help the world ;-) Andreas /// -- andreas@knobel.gun.de /\/\___ Wiechers & Partner Datentechnik GmbH Andreas Klemm ___/\/\/ - Support Unix - akl@wup.de - *** apsfilter - irgendwie clever *** ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de:/pub/Linux/local/packs/APSfilter/aps-49...:-) From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Feb 6 04:32:29 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id EAA09816 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 6 Feb 1995 04:32:29 -0800 Received: from nanolon.gun.de (nanolon.gun.de [192.109.159.5]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with ESMTP id EAA09810 for ; Mon, 6 Feb 1995 04:32:26 -0800 Received: (from uucp@localhost) by nanolon.gun.de (8.6.8.1/8.6.6) with UUCP id NAA03352; Mon, 6 Feb 1995 13:29:46 +0100 Received: (from andreas@localhost) by knobel.GUN.de (8.6.9/8.6.9) id NAA02791 Mon, 6 Feb 1995 13:19:34 +0100 From: Andreas Klemm Message-Id: <199502061219.NAA02791@knobel.GUN.de> Subject: Re: HP Deskjet 500 - /etc/printcap, tex, etc...

After that you have an intelligent printer filter with automatic file type detection. It can even print compressed or gzipped files, does file type detection after that ;-) Then it doesn't need any temporary files even if you use dvips as TeX print frontend. BTW: my co-author Thomas Bueschgens is very satisfied with TeX printing. If you have a proper TeX installation and suitable permission, then dvips generates automatically new fonts during printtime before printing the document. Using a user customizeable apsfilterrc file (a global and a privat one) allows you to to overwrite certain defaults, additionally to modify the TEXINPUTS variable, so that you can customize picture search paths ... I hope you know and enjoy dvips's feature of including Encapsulated PS picture files, made with xgrab ? ;-) Ok, enough ... try and buy ;-) (Aeehh, it's free ;-) I hope Thomas Bueschgens did an upload of the newest gamma release on the ftp server ....

The problem is the XFree86-3.1 S3 server does not support the S3 Trio chipset; this should be corrected in the 3.1.1 release. In the meantime, you can use the SVGA server to make the card work.

I think lying about the "Chipset" to the S3 server may also work; you will probably need a couple other options to disable some advanced features as well. The "Chipset" option should be covered in the man page. I could be wrong; if so, wait for 3.1.1 and use SVGA meanwhile.

That's probably because you need to set the baud rate higher... High speed modems don't quite work the way you'd expect them to. You should configure the port and modem to always use a constant baud rate (usually 38400 or 57600), and you let the modem handle the speed conversion. If you need any help with this, I'd be glad to help. > I relalise that the setting on/off in ttys will need changing before > uucico calls out and a "kill -hup 1". I can handle that with a script. No, you don't really _need_ to do it that way. There's a better way. Set up uucico to dial out on /dev/cua00, and set up your getty to use /dev/ttyd0. FreeBSD has bidirectional port locking, which is enabled by default in FreeBSD 2.x. Check "man sio" for more info on this. > Any ideas on what could be wrong? Do I need a fancy stty command?

The clock crystal divider register in the UART doesn't support 14.4; it goes from 19.2 to 38.4 to ... The good thing about flow control is that the higher you set your modem to computer baud above the modem to modem baud, the larger the latency you introduce between typing, for instance, ^C, and anything actually happening as a result as the modem buffers drain down. Er. Uh... actually, that's *not* a good thing. 8-) 8-). It is unlikely you are really pushing 1440 cps over a 14.4 anyway, since all baud rates above 4800 (assuming line turnaround) imply the use of compression, and compression algorithms aren't that deterministic. Unless you buy a Telebit and do multicarrier modulation, or go digital. For a 14.4 modem, you probably want to set the interface speed to 19.2 to handle bursting, and live with the small latency thus introduced. Opinion: flow control sucks. It is only useful when your hardware is lying to you. Damn dishonest hardware .

This is a problem because you don't have MAKEDEV until you get the bin distribution, which makes attaining the bin files over a slip connection very difficult. XFree86-3.1s installation suggests /dev/mouse or /dev/tty00 as appropriate mouse devices. Seems reasonable but stock MAKEDEV won't build either device. aside from that things are getting easier.

Try cd'ing to it, then it should mount. ls shows nothing for me, either. The mount occurs due to the cd. If this doesn't work, then let me know.

Recently, the method used to configure PCI devices was changed. When the modification was made to the 294x (aic7870.c) driver, a critical include was left out, preventing any type of probe from being run on the card. This has been fixed in -current.

Terry's suggestion of trying to "fool" the server is also worth a try, but I assume it probably won't work (otherwise we wouldn't be having this discussion, would we :-) ) Since this is a FreeBSD list, I should mention that under normal text modes there is no problem with the Stealth DRAM/Trio64 combo. The compatiblity issue is a XFree86 one, not a FreeBSD one.

X-Newsreader: NN version 6.5.0 #3 (NOV) Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk This was posted to the comp.os.386bsd.questions newsgroup with no responses.. FreeBSD was brought up a week ago on a 486 machine with Buslogic 445c controller. This weekend it was shut down to add a dos partition to the scsi drive. There has always been an IDE drive with dos on it. The procedure in the docs was followed to use the dos fdisk utility to create a dos partition, then rebooted on the FreeBSD boot floppy to finish with the bsd fdisk and disklabel routines. On choosing (P)roceed, the system runs newfs on the partitions as usual then announces: unzipping /stand/sysinstall into hard disk At this point it panics with this message: panic: getnewbuf: inconsistent EMPTY queue. The procedure which worked the first time was tried, using the whole disk for bsd but same result. When the boot floppy loads the kernel, the cyl size is reduced as shown when it gets to the point where the scsi disk is found. the disk has 1442 cyls and it shows 1429. This figure cannot be changed by formatting the drive. Even tried it on a Sun machine, where the drive came from. Also tried the 'fcnuke' utility from Buslogic to 'nuke' the partition, whatever that does. Still no change. New info: Fujitsu sent the 'really correct' drive geometry via fax which was used on the Sun to re-re-reformat the drive. Still no luck.. Any help on this would be very greatly appreciated. regards kim culhan -- - kimc@w8hd.org From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Feb 6 19:34:38 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id TAA03912 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 6 Feb 1995 19:34:38 -0800 Received: from zed.ludd.luth.se (root@zed.ludd.luth.se [130.240.16.33]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with ESMTP id TAA03906 for ; Mon, 6 Feb 1995 19:34:34 -0800 Received: from taurus.ludd.luth.se (taurus.ludd.luth.se [130.240.16.37]) by zed.ludd.luth.se (8.6.9/8.6.9) with ESMTP id EAA09043 for ; Tue, 7 Feb 1995 04:34:23 +0100 From: Andreas Johansson Received: (ajo@localhost) by taurus.ludd.luth.se (8.6.9/8.6.9) id EAA03788 for freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG; Tue, 7 Feb 1995 04:34:24 +0100 Message-Id: <199502070334.EAA03788@taurus.ludd.luth.se> Subject: Trouble sending via TCP To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Date: Tue, 7 Feb 1995 04:34:24 +0100 (MET) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 5384 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk According to DI.

I'm getting a similar problem with FreeBSD-current, ftp:ed src.doc.ic.ac.uk one week and a half ago perhaps. I'm using a 486/SX-25 with 4Mb ram (yeck), an Etherlink 16 card connected directly to Internet via our campusnet. I have tried binaries (and in the beginning older kernels, but they had even more problems) from 2.0-RELEASE, 2.0-950112-SNAP and now I am running with 2.0-950202-SNAP. I don't have the machine to compile more than the kernel so I will have to stick with the snapshots. OK, the problem: I get serious trouble when ftp:ing files FROM the FreeBSD machine, typically 5kb/sec against very fast machines. Receiving files to the FreeBSD machine works ok -- I have recieved files at >800k/s. I have now tried to change the MTU (after reading the quoted mail) and amazingly the ftp sending speeds can be raised by lowering the MTU enough. The critical point is different between different machines, f.i. ~360 when transferring to a P-90 running Linux and ~200 when transferring to a Sparc Station Classic. Because of the low MTU the transfers doesn't exactly become ideal, but the speed is incresed significantly. Some examples: example: MTU Speed ftp:ing from FreeBSD machine to P-90 1500 ~5k/s 380 100-250k/s MTU Speed ftp:ing from FreeBSD machine to Sparc 1500 ~5k/s 300 ~2k/s 200 ~150k/s The critical points are pretty sharp -- raising MTU by 10 from the critical point can make speed drop to 5k/s. When using 'hash' in ftp it is obvious that the transfer (with the lower MTU) is not ok anyway, blocks are sent in bursts (could be 80 hash marks), then wait, then send. With the higher MTU only a few marks are sent (perhaps two or three) before it hangs for a while (thus the low speed). I have tried NcFtp too, and it works pretty ok with some machines (not the P-90). It seems it is calculating the best MTU while sending. rcp is in the range <10k/s too with the P-90. Now, there are machines where ftp works too, mainly old vax:es. For example a vax 8300 (this is a _SLOW_ machine) can receive 200k/s at MTU 1500. There are other vax:es which I don't know the name of which works ok (they really enjoy these monsters at the computer society at our university). I have not been able to test against another FreeBSD machine. Anyone got any ideas what could be causing this? I really need to get this fixed. I have thought about enabling TCPDEBUG in the kernel. Could this be worth the compile time? :) > Thanks, for all replies! I second that. > Christian. > > PS: If you want, you can find my little benchmark "bench.c" on > ftp.fim.uni-linz.ac.at:/pub/soft/unix. --- After more testing --- I have investigated the problem further after I ftp:ed the source of bench. Bench was not giving me much information so I changed it quite a bit so it would tell me how quickly different sized packes were sent (while sending the same amount of data) and only try one direction at a time (my problem is only when sending). Bench works like this: On one computer there is a server. It receives a block from a TCP port and then returns a block. Loop. On the other computer there is a client. It sends blocks with different sizes and waits for the server to reply. Loop. There is some timing and other stuff too. If somebody is really interrested in this the soure could be made available. There was contrary to what I thought no problem in sending packets to any other computer. Then I added checking of the blocks that were sent, and that was the key to the problem, now I only need a solution :) When running against very quick machines every third block recieved on that machine contains garbage (probably found in the middle of the preceding block or something like that). My program reports 33% blocks in which the first byte of the block is incorrect. That is, I send one block with send and in the other end sometimes two blocks are received, of which one is garbage. The reason why lowering MTU helps ftp transfers is probably that more overhead is added at my end and this helps the problem to go away. ftp doesn't use send and recv to transfer files, so the reason for the _slow_ speed I have measured must be error-correction in the TCP-layer.

This should work; the most recent code supposedly deals with this. Are you running new snapshots? The Feb 2 (?

(On the other hand Linux's NFS sucked so here we are...) When using some older kernels I got a lot of collisions when doing all kinds of communication, actually there were more collisions than ok packets. This behaviour disappeared when I got -current kernel. One more note about the system: I have another ethernet card (NE2000) that is connected to one machine only.

You didn't mention which version you're using, but if your kernel Makefile has an install target, you can do a 'make install'. If not, do the following: config shadowfax_1 cd /sys/compile/shadowfax_1 make depend make mv /kernel /kernel.old cp kernel /kernel > also is there a device driver for an ISDN board in the works for freeBSD? > if needed, I'd be intrested in writing one.

I have narrowed it down to a DOS/Windows client running a winsock telnet session (ewan ? ) When the user telnets into the server and then does an 'ls -las' of his home dir (which has lots of symbolic links in it) the server promptly crashes with the following error message on the console. de0: tulip_txsegment: extremely fragmented packet encountered (30 segments) Most of the DOS/Windoze users use ReflectionX with no problems, I have persuaded this user to do the same. Just wondering if anyone has seen similar problems. I intend updating to the latest snap-release asap, but I hear there may be another snapshot later on in the week. My server config is as follows Pentium P90 (Intel Premiere PCI II) BusLogic BT-946 PCI SCSI Seagate Barracuda 4GByte disk SMC EtherPower PCI network adaptor. 32MByte Memory. Could anyone tell me if the above error report is caused by a) The winsock telnet client b) FreeBSD PCI Network card Driver c) The SMC PCI network card I suspect the problem lies in the driver code (if_de.c) myself, but don't qoute me on that. Should freebsd handle this type of error more gracefully ?? Thanks as always for your help.

It could be that from the moment you have upgraded the binaries and you still run the old kernel, that some networking utilities don't work anymore since there were changes in the routing code which may cause a mismatch between the binaries and the kernel.

All three serial ports use the standard addresses; COM1 and COM3 share IRQ 4. COM1 is unused, while the Microsoft mouse is on COM2. All three serial ports are reported by the AMI BIOS on bootup, and none of my DOS/Windows programs has any trouble finding and using the internal modem card on COM3. A couple of days ago I posted a message to this list reporting that FreeBSD was not finding the modem on the third serial port (i.e. sio2) on bootup. Per a suggestion here, I recompiled the kernel after adding a line "options ALLOW_CONFLICT-IRQ" to the source and changing the irq in the "device sio2" line from irq5 to 4. However, it still didn't find the modem. I then deleted the line for sio0 and recompiled the kernel another time; still no luck. I'm surprised that it still isn't finding it, given that DOS programs don't have any trouble with it. Short of changing out the hardware, is there anything else I can try? The modem will _not_ let me reset the IRQ or address, although it will let me choose between COM1-2-3-4. The multifunction card also doesn't allow selection of IRQ or address on the serial ports, and although it theoretically lets you disable COM1 this doesn't seem to be working right.

I was excited to see that FreeBSD could be setup as a firewall. I compiled the IPFIREWALL configuration after changing it to match the NE2000 NIC's and removing options that are not needed (extra SCSI cards, NIC's, etc.). The firewall works great on the FreeBSD machine, but I can't get the two network cards working together. I can get one NIC ifconfiged and working but when I ifconfig the second it seems to work but I think there is something I'm not doing because the packets are not transfering from one card thru to the other. I have policy set to accept and no chain entries. I also get a strange error when I type 'ipfw l', it gives me an error with kvm_nlist. The gateway option is compiled in the kernel. Routed is running (I tried the -q (default) and then the -s option). I couldn't find any documentation on setting up FreeBSD as a firewall or router. Any information on how to set up a machine as a firewall would be greatly appreciated. Please help... Thanks in advance, Matt.

After finding the /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot/boot.c file and changing the "part = unit = 0;" line to a "part = 0;" line and a "unit = 1;" line (I just wanted to point it to this drive rather than determining whether the BIOS returned reliable info or not), the next steps I took were educated guesses rather than based on solid information. Seeing a Makefile in this same directory, I executed "make", which resulted in a lot of extra files including a boot1 and a boot2. I then tried variations on a "disklabel -B wd0d" to install either or both of these files, which resulted in various errors. Was my procedure to compile the boot manager correct? And what exactly do I need to execute to install it on wd0? (And, do I need to install both boot1 and boot2, or just one of them?)

I came across discussion about Zyxel is releasing a new V.34 modem that can handle ISDN as well (as an add-on module?). I was just wondering can we just plug such a `modem' in ISDN mode to FreeBSD for use or we need special driver for it ? The reason I asked is that my friends and I have acquired an affordable dial-up PPP service (still not using yet, waiting for things to get fixed up right now), and we are deciding on the best (or close to best) investment for equipment to buy. I guess 28.8K (which will become obselete soon we guess) isn't enough if we are to provide the box as an ftp side, and thinking of going ISDN. But I remembered some discussion about no ISDN card is supported yet at this momement and though the ISDN `modem' may be something you can plug and talk! Can someone clarify this ? Also, does anyone find 28.8K an acceptable link for SLIP/PPP to provide an ftp site ?

I'm not sure it'll be an acceptable ftp link, but I'm in the process of finding out how usable a 14.4K link to the Internet is. The phone co. finally got the line noise out of the line this afternoon, so tonight is the first time I've been able to connect reliably. So far I'm finding out that things are working pretty good. I'm running a SUP update in the background and I'm reading News and doing some machine builds on my work machine that is generating a LOT of traffic. This machine is not local but across the net as well. So far I'm fairly impressed, and when I update my end to a 28.8K I suspect I'll even be happier. With all that said, I doubt I'd want to run an ftp server on the link. Generally, ftp servers get beaten up pretty badly if it has anything of interest, and if it's not interesting enough it's not worth making a new ftp server. 2-3 ftp users would wipe out a link pretty easily for anyone trying to do any interactive work outside the link.

Q#1: I have recently installed FreeBSD 2.0. My problem is to get XFree86 to work. I have installed the bindist++ from an MSDOS partition (I have no access to ftp from the computer I am installing on), but the problem start when I come to the Xfree-part. The filenames on the Xfree-files are too long for MSDOS. If I try to change them, I get an error, not a valid distribution. I have found no way to change the installation "from-path" during an installation. Are there any smart things for me to do??? Q#2: In the readme-file that comes with the 2.0-release, there is mentioned a 4.4BSD document set. I tried to get this from my local book-shop, but had no luck. They couldn't fint the ISBN# in their database... What is the easiest way to get this set, for a Norwegian?

I have copied the entire set of distribution files onto my C: drive under directory names identical to those in the SNAP.

I'm about to purchase a 486DX2-66 PC to install FreeBSD 2.0 in it and use it as a server for NFS, printers, etc. Among its requirements, I have to use a fast SCSI-II controller, and a fast Ethernet network adapter. I want to use either PCI or VESA cards for those two, as I think that will be the fastest. Am I right? Would EISA be faster? First of all, I remember someone posted a few months ago the hardware used for freefall (24 Gb of disk, 90 MHz Pentium, PCI,...). Can someone e-mail me that again, please? Regarding VLB SCSI controllers, I've used and tested the Adaptec 2842 VLB with a Conner CFP-1060S drive in a 486DX-50, and IOZone reports about 1.5-2 Mb/sec for writing and 2.5-3.3 Mb/sec for reading (I've excluded figures that are too high for reading speed because of the Unix cache). Regarding PCI SCSI controllers, I haven't tested any. I'd appreciate that someone e-mail me the speed report generated by iozone with different SCSI controllers, specially the PCI controllers supported by FreeBSD (Buslogic 946c and NCR 53810). Is the Adaptec 2940 supported already, or support isn't ready yet? By the way, what does the 2940 have, so that it is about 4-5 times more expensive than the NCR, for example? With respect to Ethernet adapters, I have no experience with VESA or PCI ones. The release notes list a lot of network adapters supported by FreeBSD, but they don't say if they are ISA, EISA, PCI or VESA. Does that matter? For instance, I've seen VESA network adapters that are compatible with NE-2000. Does that mean that they can be used with FreeBSD just as if they were 16-bit ISA cards, but much faster? Again, I would appreciate reports of people who are using PCI or VESA network cards with FreeBSD, specifying the brand and model, and benchmark results, if available. Thanks in advance. If I get any reports (I hope so :-) ), I will post a summary here, just in case there are other people in the same situation.

What did you add to the kernel above and beyond GENERIC to make it go from 'huge' to 'monster'? This is what I would suspect first. Also if you have twiddled the config file without doing a make clean in the build directory, it could be inconsistant. You must also do a make depend before the build, and probably a make clean unless someone has snuck in and fixed the dependencies. > Is there a common cause to this problem? (and solution?) It might be possible for a kernel to be too big to load. I doubt this. Probably what you have is a destructive probe causing you problems. > I will boot off the Install disk and mount my root partition to replace > (rename) the monster kernel I created with the huge one from the install, > I think this is the easiest way? (me hopes) You should be able to type the name of the backup you made of the old kernel at the boot prompt to boot it instead (see above). You could also boot /kernel -c instead, which would let you start dyking out various drivers until you found the problem (and the boot worked). This is probably the fastest way to see what's going wrong. Terry Lambert terry@cs.weber.edu --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

The main sticking point is the definition of these variables: setenv XNLSPATH /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls setenv XKEYSYMDB /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB And the creation of the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls directory, since all of the locale stuff has changed with X11R6. Ignore the extract if you have XFree86 2.x instead of 3.x. Here is a tar'd, gzip'ped, uuencode'd version. It is relatively pathed, so you should be in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 directory when you extract it.

In raw speed, I would expect them to be the same. The question about performance differences between the two might become a factor when you have multiple busy targets. Stephan has said that the transactional overhead for the NCR is low, but I believe the aic7xxx based cards are lower. The NCR driver does, however, have tagged queuing support now, whereas in the aic7xxx driver, this is work in progress. The major reason for a difference in price is that the aic7xxx based cards have SRAM for their downloaded "seqeuncer" program and SCBs (SCSI Command Blocks). The NCR DMAs all of this from the host system during program execution. To be perfectly honest. Until we get two of these controllers together for some head to head comparisons there is no way of really knowing. > > With respect to Ethernet adapters, I have no experience with VESA or PCI > ones.

Me and some colleagues have been mulling over the use of a Pioneer 6 disk CDROM drive on a UNIX machine of some kind. Right now we use it on a 486 computer with Windows for Workgroups. We have another computer that is running a Windows Web Server. Using Windows for Workgroups we can connect to the Pioneer where each disk is assigned a drive letter in WFWG. A little over kill but our experiments have been very successful. Now we want to get into a more secure environment even possibly running FreeBSD and an UNIX Server or maybe even a UNIX Web Server. But can and does FreeBSD support the Pioneer drive (possibly more). Can it map each disk to a drive letter or make each disk accessible. The answer to this question would help us out a whole lot.

I've run on one of these, although I had an NE2000 instead of a 3C503 sitting in an EISA slot. The EISA configuration is relevent only for the EISA cards, and only then for feature selection. It might effect your memory card, it won't effect your 3C503. FreeBSD and other protected mode OSs can't read feature information from EISA CMOS anyway, since the amount of per slot memory is not dictated for EISA (PCI didctates memory windows per slot). You'd need a VM86() interface to call the EISA BIOS to do anything more. All EISA devices should therefore be configured under DOS before BSD is booted.

On a different SLIP system, I'd normally set the client's MSS value to 1000 (need a MTU value of 1040+, depending on options), and that worked quite well for connections to systems just on the other side of the router.

I have an older 386 (generic) with a 406MB WD caviar which is disk 0 (master) and is entirely devoted to DOS. I purchased an 850MB WD caviar to use entirely for BSD. It is the secondary (slave) on the IDE controller. My BIOS and controller won't support the 850, but I was able to enter the correct geometry in the BIOS. When I go through the install, everything appears to work fine. The BSD boot from the floppy finds both disks with the correct geometry. I am able to write the MBR, do the FDISK on the second drive and do the disklabel functions correctly. When I remove the floppy to proceed, the system reboots, I get a choice of F1 for DOS or F5 for the second disk. I choose F5 which gives me the choice of F1 for FreeBSD or F5 for the first disk. I choose F1 and get the boot prompt. I enter hd(1,a)/kernel per the instructions from the troubleshooting read me file. the system boots and then "panics" out unable to mount the root filesystem. If I reboot from the floppy and run the install program again, the disklabel show the disk slices are still correct, but all assignment info is gone. I tried reassigning the slices, writing the disklabel (successfully), entering quit, then reentering the disklabel function and doing a reread. This also shows the assignments are gone. I can hear the disk being written whenever I write the disklabel. Can this be a result of 1) no dos partion on the drive, 2) must I upgrade the controller for freebsd, 3) ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.....thanks From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Feb 8 23:53:14 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id XAA02388 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 8 Feb 1995 23:53:14 -0800 Received: from cats.ucsc.edu (root@cats-po-1.UCSC.EDU [128.114.129.22]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with ESMTP id XAA02381 for ; Wed, 8 Feb 1995 23:53:13 -0800 Received: from scruz.ucsc.edu by cats.ucsc.edu with SMTP id RAA19129; Wed, 8 Feb 1995 17:58:02 -0800 Received: from osprey by scruz.ucsc.edu id aa24885; 8 Feb 95 18:45 PST Received: (from markd@localhost) by Grizzly.COM (8.6.9/8.6.9) id RAA12641; Wed, 8 Feb 1995 17:24:05 -0800 Date: Wed, 8 Feb 1995 17:24:05 -0800 From: Mark Diekhans Message-Id: <199502090124.RAA12641@Grizzly.COM> To: mcaughey@infi.net CC: questions@FreeBSD.org In-reply-to: (message from Michael Caughey on Wed, 8 Feb 95 17:35 EST) Subject: Re: POP3 Server for BSD Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > I'm looking for a POP3 Server that will run under FreeBSD. popper, available from ucb, the POP server most people use, but it has a fair number of bugs.

You might want to look at ftp.qualcom.com (the Eudora people), Qualcomm is indeed the publisher of Eudora, but their address is ftp.qualcomm.com. They have what I would assume to be to latest release of PcEudora there also (Don't use it myself.) Qualcomm _sells_ Eudora for Unix also, which I hear is a great program, don't know if you can get for FreeBSD. Pine seems to be delighting in garbling this post, sorry.

I have two Eagle NE2000+ (the real thing, not a clone NIC) cards installed: ed0 at 0x280-0x29f irq 5 on isa ed1 at 0x300-0x31f irq 10 on isa Attached is the IPFIREWALL config file I used to compile the kernel. I placed a hostname.ed0 and hostname.ed1 in /etc to assign different IP numbers to each interface at bootup. hostname.ed0 reads: 129.229.40.151 netmask 0xffffff00 hostname.ed1 reads: 129.229.40.152 netmask 0xffffff00 Both ed0 and ed1 ifconfig at bootup. These IP numbers are unique and are not used by any other machine. I added the IP numbers and hostnames to /etc/hosts I changed the following in /etc/netstart: routedflages=-q to routedflages=-s and #gated=YES to gated=YES Do I need to change /etc/networks at all to reflect what I've done?

You need two physically different networks like ethernets,FB box, two ethernet cards and a head... Now physically configuration looks like this: [The *INTERNET*] | | ----[ Computer A]-------------[Some messy router R]---------- <--Network 1 | | ed0 interface [FB box here] ed1 interface | | -------------------------[Computer B]--- <--Network 2 What do you want: you want to have Computer A reach computer B and B reach A and even Internet. To do so you should have different adresses for network 1 and 2. Let's take the simplest case: two class C networks. Class C network is network which looks like: xxx.xxx.xxx.number where number is from 0 to 255 . For example network 1 is 194.90.1.x and 2 is 194.90.2.x Then Computer A - 194.90.1.5 Computer B - 194.90.2.10 for example. You need to have then for FB box ed0 - 194.90.1.1 (to be on same network as Computer A) ed1 - 194.90.2.1 (as Computer B) If you do all this you should be able without any special setup ping comp. A and comp. B from FB. You should also be able to ping FB from each one of them.If this does not works - you'v got some really strange problemm but in general case it would be ok. Now..how to get comp.A from comp.B.We do all routing settings by hand for now..later we'll see... You should 1) Say to comp. B that it's route to all outside world goes through FB. route add default 194.90.2.1 (in comp. B) 1a) To verify this working try ping 194.90.1.1 (ed0 adress of FB box) from B.If this works proceed...if not panic("oops"); 2) Say to comp.A that it's route to network 194.90.2. goes via FB. route add 194.90.2 194.90.2.1 (in comp. A) 2a) Veryfy this also.. ping 194.90.2.1 (ed1 adress of FB box) from A.it should work else i dunno... Then try to ping B from A and A from B.Both should work. ping 194.90.1.5 (from B) ping 194.90.2.10 (from A) If they does not , check if GATEWAY option enabled in FB.If it does and still no ping goes,this FAQ does not holds again..:))) Now if ping works(and even telnet) we are almost up. We want only that every computer on net 1 (not only A) would reach B and Co. and every computer on net 2 would reach net 1 and all the world. For a very dummy case(for example both networks are full of Windoze WinSucks) you just set default route for all that comp's to IP adress of router R (for inst. 194.90.1.254) on network 1. You set up default route for all comp's on net 2 to 194.90.2.1 Now you should only teach router R how to get to net 2. This depends,on cisco or some unix box you add 194.90.2. 194.90.1.1 or stuff like that. >From now on you have simplest combination working.Our company which is internet provider btw internally lives with static routes only and,geez,it';s not bad...No routed's involved.

This is how I would do it. 1) disklabel -B wd1 # This puts the boot block on the booting disk. 2) Install a dos boot manager on wd0 which I assume is a dos drive. I use bteasy from the tools dir on FreeBSD.org. When you install the boot manager bteasy, let it write itself to wd0 but not wd1. bteasy will then allow you select the second drive and will use the native active partition and boot. If FreeBSD uses the whole disk, writing bteasy or most other managers to that disk will blow away the boot blocks.

Say you have a machine that exports it's file-systems with root access to a specific machine. All you need to do is provide a DNS server that you setup which responds that your machine is the trusted machine. There are many other ways which could cause these sorts of problems.

Of course you really meant to say "asynchronus writes in violation of the NFS specification" instead of "fs cache", since BSD has an equivalent or better VM caching mechanism. Yes, async writes are something which ought to be allowable, but not on by default because of the unreliability and server reset intolerance they cause.

Hmmm... I think that ~5 times the number of I/O calls at ~1/6 the time per call is an interesting statistic. Seems to point right at the problem spots... minus one piece of discriminating information -- was this a UDP NFS problem or a TCP NFS problem? Latency hits hard (per packet) for request/response, and ttcp does not test for this, which yields one latency averaged across all packets. NFS writes which are not async are very nearly request/response because of the relative difference in time for window fill vs. doing a sync I/O to a disk.

First a plus (you probably know already) Hardware compatibility does not mention the Adaptec 1510 SCSI Adapter, but when I booted with the floppy the devices on the card were correctly identified. Here's my problem, I can't get past the boot-up sequence from the disk made when I made the BOOT Disk and the CPIO Disk (the batch file is written wrong for creating the disks ). The boot up goes through all the hardware indentifying everything it can find and then comes to a point where it says: wd1: changing size of 'd' partition from 819520 to 820352 and then hangs. Or.. does this take an extremely long time? I let it go for an hour on one try before giving up. 'D' drive was empty at the time, freshly fdisked and formated. I also tried running it with no partitions on that drive in which case it would say that it was changing the partition from 1 to 820352. Here's my hardware: Intel 486 DX 50 (not DX2) with 8 megs RAM VLB Stealth 24 Video DFI VLB Controller with: 3.5, 5.25 floppies C Drive, Western Digi 540 drive (set up as 528, I wasn't going to play with drivers to get 12 megs) D Drive, Maxtor 420 Drive Adaptec 1510 SCSI2 Controller with: Mountain Filesafe 1200+ Micropolis 640 meg drive (big ol' ugly monster that you can fry an egg on) Sound Blaster 16 Multi-CD Mitsumi CD-ROM (soon to be back on it's own card again) Do you have any suggestions as to why it was trying to change a partition without asking? Any way I can get around it? I'll probably run into other problems down the road but I'd like to at least get started. Or did I do something wrong already. (Look into that crystal ball) . I'll send any info if you want it, I know what it's like to do support, I'm the IS Network Tech here at AirSep.

I was originally running the WWW server on a Windows NT 3.1 machine, but I didn't like the EMWAC server (the only one made for NT), so I decided to switch to a UN*X operating system that could run NCSA's httpd. I chose FreeBSD since I heard that it was a stable and well supported OS. So, for the past three weeks, I've tried to install FreeBSD on my IBM - a 25MHz 486sx with 24MB of memory, a 3COM 3c509 TP ethernet card set to irq 10 and 0x300, and an IDE CD-ROM drive. Since I can't install via CD-ROM (since IDE CD-ROMs are not supported), I decided to try to install using FTP. I've tried to install the 2.0 release, the jan 25 (?) snapshot, the 2/2 snapshot, and the 2/10 snapshot. None of them work. I was finally able to create proper boot and cpio disks and format the drives, but I can't FTP the binaries from ftp.freebsd.org. Frankly, after 3 weeks of trying to install it, I'm sick of FreeBSD. I've e-mailed questions@freebsd, pst@freebsd, and paul@freebsd, and nobody knew what to do. I'm almost willing to fly somebody to Berkeley so I can actually witness this installation (almost). Paul T. did mention that your 3COM drivers were the flakeiest of all your ethernet drivers. Will it be fixed anytime soon, or should I just switch to another OS? Your advice would be helpful.

Hmmm... I am no expert here. I was planning to use that invocation of sendmail. When you talk about passing through other hosts, do you mean sites on our network, or intermediary sites that are "out there" on the net, passing mail? I assumed that sendmail attempted to talk to the addressee's machine, and when the connection was established, the data passed to the recipient machine. Am I confused here? Also, I have remotely heard of a product called Zmailer. (someone else responded with "Ever hear of a product called Zmailer") I had heard the name, but know nothing about it. I was mainly worried about sendmail bringing our system to its knees if we queued 1,000 50K messages at once... How does sendmail handle this? Does it go sequentially through an alias :include file, processing messages one at a time, or can it initiate multiple simultaneous connections? > i expect to be in seattle later this month. if i can help you >out, let me know.

The ethernet card is probably an NE2000 clone so that won't likely be a problem. The Micro Channel, however, is a show stopper. -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 10 16:45:23 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id QAA16722 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 10 Feb 1995 16:45:23 -0800 Received: from Root.COM (implode.Root.COM [198.145.90.1]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with ESMTP id QAA16716 for ; Fri, 10 Feb 1995 16:45:20 -0800 Received: from corbin.Root.COM (corbin.Root.COM [198.145.90.18]) by Root.COM (8.6.8/8.6.5) with ESMTP id QAA11225; Fri, 10 Feb 1995 16:45:09 -0800 Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by corbin.Root.COM (8.6.9/8.6.5) with SMTP id QAA00350; Fri, 10 Feb 1995 16:45:09 -0800 Message-Id: <199502110045.QAA00350@corbin.Root.COM> X-Authentication-Warning: corbin.Root.COM: Host localhost didn't use HELO protocol To: Rajen Bose cc: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: FrrrBSD 2.0 Installation over FTP In-reply-to: Your message of "Fri, 10 Feb 95 16:01:28 PST."

Zmailer is based on a three process model: a router, a scheduler, and a smtpserver. The scheduler gives you very tight control over how messages are delivered by limiting the number of simultaneous tranports etc. However, Zmailer is not the most well documented system around, but anything is better than sendmail.cf.

How does sendmail handle this? Zmailer is the thing that Rayan Zachariassen (sp?) and others at U of Toronto came up to clear problems with sendmail which was killing their main gateway machine. It is intended to be much lighter than sendmail for machines that have to process tons of mail. You can get it from ai.toronto.edu or something like that.

The snapshots aren't release versions, and I don't think they're a good thing to use as one's first exposure to FreeBSD, and most especially not for a machine that is going to be a server.

WHAT IS APSFILTER ================= APSFILTER is a lineprinter input filter for systems with a BSD alike printing mechanism (lpd, /etc/printcap), that saves users a lot of work when printing different file types no matter if compressed or not !!! Additionally it enables non Postscript printers, that are supported by the free postscript emulator - under the terms of the GPL - "ghostscript" (gs), to print postscript files automatically ! With the new apsfilter Version 3.0 it's now possible to print *compacted* documents directly without unpacking !!! The wanted packers/unpackers have to be already installed on your system. o Supported file types: Postscript TeX DVI Ascii Data (PCL,...)

I have a PS/2 mouse. In order to make my Microsoft mouse work, I did rebuild the kernel as follows, 1) % cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf 2) % cp GENERIC GENERIC_MOUSE 3) edit the GENERIC_MOUSE by inserting following 2 lines, options ALLOW_CONFLICT_IOADDR device psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 12 vector psmintr 4) % config GENERIC_MOUSE 5) % cd ../../compile/GENERIC_MOUSE 6) % make depend 7) % make 8) % mv /kernel /kernel.old 9) % mv kernel /kernel 8) % sync 9) % reboot But the booting with a newly built kernel is HUNG at the last stage: changing root device to /dev/sd0a" No matter what I typed, system does not respond. Even when I tried with "/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT" by uncommenting options ALLOW_CONFLICT_IOADDR , I had the same problem.... I have a MICRON Powerstation plus, which has a PS/2 style mouse with PCI SCSI-2 1G disk. I have 3 questions: Are there anybody who has same experience like me ( I hope not!! )? Why that happens? and, In case of that situation, what is the best thing I can do except reinstall from the scratch? Thanks.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I tried today to install FreeBSD 2.0R onto a friend's computer. It is a 730MB Conner IDE (it may be EIDE, but for the purposes of FreeBSD these are equivalent, yes?), and it uses the necessary 32h/64s per cylinder mapping in DOS. We defragged his disk, split his DOS partition with FIPS and proceeded to install FreeBSD. Well, the first thing FreeBSD kvetched about was the fact that the MBR said 32 heads, and it couldn't use 32 heads, so it was reverting back to 16 heads. Well, this clearly puts the geometries at odds, so I tried to change back the geometry with (F)disk. I did; the kernel complained again (of course). Fdisk then created a slice of the appropriate geometry (matching the DOS slice), and I went on to disklabel and newfs the slice. Soon thereafter, I started getting seek errors (I wrote down the exact text, but left it somewhere else; I can post it if necessary) involving head 16. More specifically, I got a message saying that the controller was not responding. So, his current geometry is 708c/32h/64s. Since he only wants 200MB for DOS and the rest for FreeBSD, I am thinking the best solution is to back up his stuff, change the geometry to 1416c/16h/64s (drive reported geometry), use the first 400 cylinders for DOS with its 1024 cylinder limit, and the rest for FreeBSD which has no such restriction. Is this the solution, or can I use the 32 head geometry somehow? Thanks, Marc. -- DeForrest Gump - "Dammit, Jim! Life is like a box of chocolates!"
