And if so, which one(s) - IDE? SCSI? I noticed that Syquest is not on the list of supported hardware. I do not have any experience with Syquest drives but I imagine it would look like any other IDE or SCSI drive. The crucial question is whether it requires special drivers. I have bought the Walnut Creek FreeBSD CDROM and am planning to install it to a new machine. I am trying to work out the machine configuration. I am keen on using the Syquest drives because this way I can switch between DOS/Windows (not my choice, work commitments) and FreeBSD (that's my choice :-)) simply by swapping the Syquest cartridge. I know that you can partition your disk for multi OS. My reason for not doing this is because of a previous bad experience where a virus mangled my MBR and it took me a hell of a long time to recover both my OS.

At $40 per, decent EISA Ethernet cards would be a great bargain. I'd buy several. Unfortunately, when a bargain looks too good to be true, it often is. So, on to the questions. Is anyone familiar with the Ansel NC3200 EISA Ethernet card? It's provided with an EISA configuration / drivers disk and with a manual. I haven't tried to get permission to examine the contents of the disk. There is no claim of hardware compatibility with anything, anywhere in the documentation or on the box. There is, however, a tantalizing mention of the NE1000 and NE2000 boards in the trademarks disclaimer on the box. Clever false advertizing? It uses a National DP83902V chip which, according to the manual, determines its register architecture. It uses shared memory to communicate with the motherboard. The memory is single ported, with a preference for local access. Given an access collision, motherboard access is held off with wait states. It does not use EISA master mode. Apparently, the only benefit it derives from the EISA bus (as oposed to ISA) is the ability to transfer data 32 bits at a time. That alone should reduce the bandwidth burden it places on the EISA bus by half, as compared with ISA cards like the SMC8013 I use at work. EISA master mode could reduce the impact much more, but what do you want for $40? The manufacturer is: Ansd Communications 1701 Junction Court San Jose, CA 95112 (408) 452-5041 Can I expect to make this board work with the 'ed' driver (which should be right if it is an NE1000 or NE2000 clone)? If nobody on the list knows the answers, I guess I'll just have to continue my investigation on Monday, possibly buying one to try. Thanks for any advice you may be able to provide.

Netscape uses a technique called pixmap double-buffering to do its little animation and some other stuff. There are other techniques that result in better animation, but I've only seen a few people (like me) using them. Probably the fastest technique is unsuitable for NetScape, since it applies to images that are prerendered only. So anyway, NetScape creates a pixmap and uses it as a drawable. Apparently, there's no bounds checking for this kind of drawable. This is a well known problem. Increasing your window width so that images don't have to pan left-right will help somewhat. Netscape also has a memory leak (apparently) in its pixmap allocation, since not all allocated pixmaps get deallocated. This is most obvious when doing panning of a large amount of text from an FTP site where it attempts to buffer using the pixmaps. A 16M image size for the X server is not unheard of as a result. Finally, there appears to be a bug in XFree86 with regard to the internal font rendering. This will result in screwed up fonts after a while (the fonts in the font cache get trashed). The workaround is to use pre-rendered fonts instead of the outline font stuff. A simple way to do this is to chane over to Courier fonts.

The SLIP-gateway is the same machine (host.jcn.nl, > 193.78.175.1) The auto-expansion is a result of the cannonical name being looked up by the program -- basically, it's a feature of your browser. For the NetScape browser (about the only thing I use), you can actually defeat this by appending a trailing slash to the URL (learn something new every day). For mail, it depends on where you want it done, what your transport is, etc.; it sounds like you want outgoing proxy and incoming MX referral. Typically, mail is handled by sendmail, and typically sendmail is configured to understand DNS MX (Mail eXchanger) records, and they do address referral. It sounds like you need to get the O'Reilly sendmail and DNS books and read them before going further.

I think the hooks in the kernel are the problem and I will be working in that direction. if someone absolutely needs a mbone connection today, use another machine. --mark.

Yes, this should work fine with most SCSI CDROM's. Some give troubles like CDROM drives from SUN or SGI that lie and try to tell the system it is a harddisk :-).

It's a feature of the Domain Name System, and has nothing to > do with the client program (if any). The browser where he is seeing this is NetScape. It's the browser's choice as to whether it actually replaces the contents of the "Location" line indicating the URL with the cannonized name or not. A good example of this interaction is shown using the URL: http://www.wahoo.com It's a good example because Matt fudged the DNS record for wahoo.com to forcibly add the trailing slash post-lookup. Basically, any time you have an alias record for a machine not in your domain as if it were a machine in your domain without a corresponding cname record, you'll end up with a name change in the URL display unless you started out with a trailing slash, which inhibits (probably as a side effect) NetScape from updating the name. I think the original guy was looking at the little 'Location:' windows contents changing (the question felt like it was coming a bit out of left field). I don't think the original poster was looking at a non-client view in the first place. Whether something is an A or a CNAME or whatever is probably not going to be visible to him anyway because of this. The mail question sounded like what he wanted was for sendmail to say mail was coming from some place it wasn't. I frequently use this for machines with smtp shut down by the router so that I can send mail from my machine and the replies go to the exterior firewall instead. The point I was trying to make is that while it isn't a black art, there is a great deal of collateral knowledge required and what he was asking were questions that not only weren't related, but for which there were not "type this" answers available. About the best you can do in those situations without the explanations causing more questions is point at the books (which is what I did).

The "docs" (note the "s") in /pub/FreeBSD directory appears to contain files which are for 1.1.5.1, not 2.0, so that didn't get me anywhere (though I grabbed options.doc anyway and didn't find any psm0 mentioned in it). A pointer to the correct document or the necessary hint will be greatly appreciated. Also for reasons of space, I was not able to keep the manuals, which I had hoped to do. Is there an option for config to not remove the entire config directory from compile if you know that you have just done something minor, like set an IRQ, or is that a Bad Thing(tm)?

I've tried playing with the jumpers, and playing with the kernel settings (trying the tape as both unit 1 and 2). I've even tried redefining DRVS_PER_CTLR as 1 in /sys/i386/isa/fd.c, since I only have one floppy disk drive. I've tried adding another floppy disk drive, and have met with a minimal degree of success -- the kernel has actually admitted to (i.e., attach()ed) the existence of a tape drive with one of the disks I tried, but it couldn't access anything on the floppy bus with that floppy drive attached. DOS couldn't find anything on the floppy bus in that configuration either, so I assume that the second floppy was hosing the bus somehow. I've also managed to have the floppy tape attach by defining DEBUG and turning fd_debug on in fd.c. I couldn't access the tape under those circumstances either -- as I recall, the tape went to and fro for a while before I eventually received an I/O error. I've also booted the GENERIC kernel from the 950210-SNAP floppy, and it didn't find the floppy tape either (regardless of jumper settings). It's a little hard to tell, but that kernel appears to be configured for floppy tapes (_ftattach is in the kernel namelist). Can anyone tell me why I can't access the tape drive, and better yet, what I can do about it?

I cannot help with the doc, but if you look through the LINT configuration file, you should see an option that goes something like "ALLOW_IOADDR_CONFLICTS". Use that.

This way if ncyl % 1024 is stored in the partition table, it will be correct for DOS.

If there's a specific list for XFree86, please let me know. I am trying to setup my XF86Config file so that I can use 1024x768 with 256 colours. I've setup a corresponding mode in the "Monitor" section of the file and I'm referencing it from the "Display" subsection of my "Screen" section, however I think I'm coming unstuck with the HTimings of my mode. I've currently got them set to :- HTimings 1024 1048 1208 1264 but I suspect this is wrong because when I run startx I get an error message which says :- (--) SVGA: Mode "1024x768i" needs hsync freq of 28.16 kHz. Deleted. and so the mode can't be used and the X server doesn't start. I don't know what the HTimings mean and the XF86Config man page doesn't really explain them, so I'm a bit lost. I've tried other values, but I'm worried that I might damage my monitor. Can anyone help?

The hard disks are as follows: 1 - 1 GB drive - all for DOS (drive C) 2 - 340 MB drive - part for DOD (drive D) and rest for Linux 3 - 340 MB drive - all for FreeBSD. The boot diskette was built fine and it booted fine. I did what "Trouble" script recommended about booting in FreeBSD from a drive other than the first drive. I "fdisked" the first drive to install boot manager and then set up the 3rd drive labels a through e with a for "/", b for swap, c and d as defined by fdisk, e for /usr. When I try to reboot from hard disk, I get only two lines - F1 - dos F? - default There is no way for me to enter hd(2,a) as suggested by the "trouble" script. I also tried using the boot diskette and manually entered hd(2,a)/kernel. After it checks out the machine, it says it can not mount root and halted with "panic" message. I also tried to label the third drive first before writing the boot manager on the first drive but this did not change anything. Thank you for any help you can give me.

Sometimes the display stops with just the basket-weave background, sometimes it switches back to the ASCII screen but never finishes the output, but in all cases, any attempt to use the VT switching just beeps at you. The system is otherwise OK, since I can rlogin or telnet into it and do other things, and by doing so I have confirmed that the X-server is not running, which points to a syscons problem, perhaps.

Your monitor section gives HorizSync 30-37 indicating that for the sake of your monitor's health, the horizontal sync frequency must be kept between 30 and 37 kilohertz, inclusive. 28.16 kHz is clearly outside that range, so X did you the favor of not stressing your monitor. To really solve this problem right, you need to read VideoModes.doc, which came with the XFree86 distribution. It's entitled "The Hitchhiker's Guide to X386/XFree86 Video Timing". On my machine it's in the directory named /usr/src/X11R6/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/doc. As the bottom line, it will help you decide to do one (or both) of two things. The first is to increase your dot-clock frequency. The second is to carefully nibble away at the rightmost three numbers of your HorizSync specification. To keep the same dot-clock frequency, you would have to nibble the rightmost number down to 1184, and make other required changes to the middle two numbers. "The Hitchhiker's Guide" will tell you all you need to know to decide if that's what you want to do, and if you do, how to. >I don't know what the HTimings mean and the XF86Config man page doesn't >really explain them, so I'm a bit lost. The place to find this information is "The Hitchhiker's Guide". >I've tried other values, but I'm worried that I might damage my monitor. So long as your HorizSync and VertRefresh specifications in the Monitor section are accurate, X won't let you damage your monitor. Instead, it will do exactly what it did to you, refuse to use the dangerous mode. >Section "Monitor" ... > Mode "1024x768i" ... > #HTimings 1024 1000 1000 1000 # SENDS SCREEN FUNNY!! "The Hitchhiker's Guide" will make it really obvious to you why this happened, too. When it comes to questions of video setup in your XF86Config file, "The Hitchhiker's Guide" is definitely "TFM". Anyone who wants to set up a monitor/graphics card combination should definitely "R" it.

That's right. I shouldn't have a problem, but I do. I mentioned writing the MBR to the SCSI disk to show I could write something to it. FreeBSD cannot read the partition info from the SCSI disk. I've set the geometry to what DOS expects (1018 cyls, 60 hds, 17 secs), but still it will not read it. I've used DOS fdisk, pfdisk and Norton to read/write the partition table on the SCSI disk and have no problems. Any suggestions? <---- End Included Message ----> Hmm. Well, I had a strange problem, too. However, there is a little note about making a DOS partition first and then deleting it (I have a 1.2GB IDE drive). I seem to recall making a 5MB DOS partition first with DOS fdisk, then installing FreeBSD. I left the DOS part (5MB is no big deal with 1.2GB) and everything worked fine. Maybe you should try this. Perhaps there is a bug in the BSD fdisk logic somewhere. If you partition first with DOS it does write the drive geometry into the partition table, and maybe the BSD fdisk tries to pick up on it. Only way to know for sure is to read the source. Anyhow, try the 5MB part idea, and if it works, post it to hackers and/or questions so others can try it. BTW, I think I saw the note in the troubleshooting file that you can read during install or on FreeBSD in one of the dox directories. -Louis ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Louis J.

UNIX doesn't like saving power ;) Between this solution and using the updated kernel i got things to begin to install at least past the point that I was at before. I got into FDISK begin definning all my partitions set them all up and then go into DISKLABEL and it will not label them, it just keeps giving me invalid filesystem errors. I dont get it. Once I got past everything and then I was done and went to type quit to go back to the main section of the disk setup and it locked, once I even got past this point and into the real setting up and it finished everything asked me to put in the cpio disk which i did and then it rebooted, It comes up fine until it tries to mount root on the scsi drive and then it cannot mount root. I started over and tried to get my root and swap defined on my ide drive and put my /usr on my scsi drive but this is when it began all these problems. Sorry if my problem seems garbled ... just trying to tell you all I can without over doing it ... well gotta run, thanks for your help James <---- End Included Message ----> This sounds like a separate problem. It sounds like maybe the drive params (cyl, sec, etc) that BSD is using doesn't match the BIOS ones. Check this. Also, what do you mean "partitions"? Theoretically, all you need is one BSD partition per drive and then you label them into different mount points. Also, under label (and this wasn't clear to me either), the d slice is special. a is usually root or the first non-root partition on the drive. b is swap. d is the entire partition, so don't mess with this. e and the rest are free, and I think c is as well. Finally, I had a problem, but I fixed it by making a 5MB dos partition with DOS fdisk before I installed FreeBSD. It seemed that the BSD fdisk picked up a clue somewhere from the partition table that DOS created. You can try this. Last but not least, some of the notebooks with docking bays do wierd timing stuff and/or have non-standard IDE controllers that do goofball translation or don't follow the spec right. You might just be out of luck hardware-wise. (Don't give up though, the newer notebooks are pretty standard). Also, I'm reposting this to questions. Maybe someone else has a better suggestion for you. I've written operating systems for a while, but I'm a newbie to FreeBSD, so my solutions are to generic U*IX problems. Good luck. -Louis ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Louis J. Giliberto, Jr. !

What you forgot to do is tell the system what kind of script you wrote. Try adding this line at the top of the file: #!/bin/csh This will run the commands through csh.

The function looks a bit like this: if_output(struct ifnet *ifp, struct mbuf *m, struct sockaddr *dst, struct rtentry *rt) We are in a process of writing some priorization to the queueing of outgoing network packets. Currently we have it planned such that we put our queueing code in between ip_output and the interface if_output function. This code limits the amount of badwidth used on the interface to collect some queue where we can prioritize the outgoing packets. When it is estimated that the interface should be able to send a packet, the if_output function is called to transmit the packet with highest priority. What is unclear is that what data is still valid at the time we finally make the call to if_output. mbuf - is still there dst - we make a copy of it ifp - I guess the ifnet structure pointed to by ifp will not be removed but it could be made inactive in the mean time? rt - I've noticed that there is a reference count field and that for ARP the expire time is set to something. I however lack the knowledge of how these interfere with the rest of the networking code and if and how I can use them. Any help appreciated.

Every once in awhile, either csh or sh will SIGSEGV as they are perparing to exit (after EOF or an exit command), either interactively or when run from make. Attempting to recreate the same circumstances will not (usually) result in the same behavior. This is a very, very teeny 486DX2/66 system, with 16Mb of swap and 4Mb of RAM. It also reports early in the boot process that the installed reported real memory of 640K does not match the RTC value of 639K. This is a Packard Bell Legend 1166 and I still haven't found how to manipulate things that one might want to manipulate like the bus timing equations and any shadowing that may be going on -- it doesn't have cold boot ROM support for configuration, but it has a hot key sequence of Alt-Ctrl-S for basic CMOS stuff (though not the advanced features). This system SOMETIMES comes up reporting stray intr 7 up until the warning limit is reached (quite quickly). Obviously, this system was not purchased with FreeBSD in mind, but it belongs to the family of a CS major who is very excited about running something other than Windoze on this box.

(No, really, it ______( (_ / \______/ was! :-) ,' ,-----' | `--{__________) Disclaimer: Please note that despite numerous safeguards, it's still more than possible to WIPE OUT YOUR ENTIRE DISK with this installation! Please do not proceed unless you've adequately backed up any important data first! We really mean it! If any errors occur during this installation, you can see them by toggling over to the alternate screen. Type ALT-F2 to switch to the debugging screen and ALT-F1 to switch back to the install screen. The debugging output on the second screen may be very valuable to us in understanding your bug report, so please be sure to take note of it when reporting any failures in the installation! Thanks! You may also wish to read the TROUBLESHOOTING document in _advance_ and perhaps save yourself from making those sorts of errors in the first place! :-) Menus and scrolling output windows may be traversed with the arrow, PageUp/PageDown and TAB keys. To suspend the installation at any point, hit ESC twice. If you've ever dealt with a DOS installation before, then you'll probably know how to deal with this. For a more complete description of what's new in this release, please see the release notes. For more documentation on this system, it is recommended that you purchase the 4.4BSD Document Set from O'Reilly Associates and the USENIX Association. ISBN 1-56592-082-1 We have no connection with O'Reilly, we're just satisfied customers! Have fun, and please let us know of any problems you encounter with this release! Comments should be sent to: hackers@FreeBSD.org Bug reports should be sent using the `send-pr' utility, if you were able to get the system installed, otherwise to: bugs@FreeBSD.org And general questions to: questions@FreeBSD.org Please have patience if your questions are not answered right away - this is an especially busy time for us, and our volunteer resources are often strained to the limit (if not somewhat past!).

(No, really, it ______( (_ / \______/ was! :-) ,' ,-----' | `--{__________) Disclaimer: Please note that despite numerous safeguards, it's still more than possible to WIPE OUT YOUR ENTIRE DISK with this installation! Please do not proceed unless you've adequately backed up any important data first! We really mean it! If any errors occur during this installation, you can see them by toggling over to the alternate screen. Type ALT-F2 to switch to the debugging screen and ALT-F1 to switch back to the install screen. The debugging output on the second screen may be very valuable to us in understanding your bug report, so please be sure to take note of it when reporting any failures in the installation! Thanks! You may also wish to read the TROUBLESHOOTING document in _advance_ and perhaps save yourself from making those sorts of errors in the first place! :-) Menus and scrolling output windows may be traversed with the arrow, PageUp/PageDown and TAB keys. To suspend the installation at any point, hit ESC twice. If you've ever dealt with a DOS installation before, then you'll probably know how to deal with this. For a more complete description of what's new in this release, please see the release notes. For more documentation on this system, it is recommended that you purchase the 4.4BSD Document Set from O'Reilly Associates and the USENIX Association. ISBN 1-56592-082-1 We have no connection with O'Reilly, we're just satisfied customers! Have fun, and please let us know of any problems you encounter with this release! Comments should be sent to: hackers@FreeBSD.org Bug reports should be sent using the `send-pr' utility, if you were able to get the system installed, otherwise to: bugs@FreeBSD.org And general questions to: questions@FreeBSD.org Please have patience if your questions are not answered right away - this is an especially busy time for us, and our volunteer resources are often strained to the limit (if not somewhat past!).

I've lost my pointers, and archie turns up cold for lclint. `lclint' is not quite a `lint' clone. It checks C programs against formal specifications; it was developed by the people down the hall from me. Try ftp://larch.lcs.mit.edu/pub/Larch/lclint. Here's an excerpt from the README... ------------------------------------ LCLint is a lint-like tool for ANSI C. It can be used like a traditional lint to detect certain classes of C errors statically; if formal specifications are also supplied, it can do more powerful checking to detect inconsistencies between specifications and code. Without specifications, LCLint does many of the checks done by a traditional lint. It reports unused declarations, type inconsistencies, use-before-definition, unreachable code, ignored return values, execution paths with no return, likely infinite loops, and fall-through cases. It provides options for stricter type-checking than standard C (e.g., char and bool types can be treated as distinct from ints.). It does not do much of the portability checking (e.g., pointer alignment) done by typical lints. With partial specifications, written in the Larch interface language, LCL, LCLint does stronger checking. For example, a one-line specification file can declare a type as abstract; LCLint checks that the data abstraction barrier is maintained in clients of the type. This provides the advantages of data encapsulation, making programs easier to understand and maintain. ------------------------------------ -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

The current symptoms suggest that the problem is some simple bit of config file tweaking. (And probably something that will be -real- obvious, once it has been pointed out...) The boot sequence reports that it has found the board (an Elite EtherPower 32 PCI Combo), and attached de0. It properly selects the BNC connector. The ifconfig report looks good, and the LNK light on the board glows a steady green. But when I ping it from my SPARCstation, I get no response. (The T/R light does pulse yellow at about the rate I expect from 'ping -s'.) When I attempt to ping the SPARCstation from the BSD box, the T/R light doesn't light at all, and ping usually reports: Host is down. Sometimes it reports 'ping: sendto: No buffer space available'. # ifconfig de0 de0: flags=cc63 mtu 1500 inet 192.0.2.4 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.0.2.255 Configuration: FreeBSD 2.0 (Walnut Creek January 1995 CD-ROM) ASUS PCI/I SP3G with 8M RAM and Cyrix 486DX2/66 Elite EtherPower 32 PCI Combo Ramtek VGA CDC Wren-IV (327M SCSI) Sun (Sony?)

Gibbs :-( I got all those files and amended the scsi_all.h and rebuilt a new kernel. But for me there doesn't seem to be a change in the behaviour at boot-up... Well actually after 6 boots I got tired and decided to type kernel.old and that booted! It does seem to be something like an old car. I have to keep power cycling and once it's started, any amount of reboots can be taken safely until a power down.. then the hanging/constant-LED arises again.

(I -knew- it would be something simple...) When I put the system together, I plugged the EtherPower board into PCI slot three to leave the maximum room for the serial cables, etc. But by default slot three doesn't have an interrupt assigned to INTA. And neither the ASUS doc nor the EtherPower doc made it sufficiently clear to me just how the PCI interrupts work... Moving the board to slot one fixed it. Thanks to all who responded. (Several of whom reminded me of some network diagnostic tools that I had forgotten about. Thanks also to whoever decided that they should be a standard part of the release.) -Pat My opinions are my own. For a small royalty, they can be yours as well...

I created two slices one for DOS and one for FreeBSD. When I boot DOS, I run fdisk, and it shows the slice sizes correctly. However, the DOS dir command still reports free space relative to the entire disk. E.g. it says 100 Mbytes used, 900 Mbytes free. Is this just a DOS bug of some sort? I'm worried that DOS will overwrite sectors assigned to FreeBSD. <---- End Included Message ----> An additional piece of information. When I first partitioned the FreeBSD slice, I first imported the MS-DOS slice to partition e. However, when I do a df under FreeBSD, it shows the same incorrect information as the DOS DIR command. df shows my /dev/sd0e (MS-DOS slice) as having a capacity the size of the entire disk! This may seem stupid, but are you running Stacker or something like it? No I'm not running Stacker. If not, check to see if the BIOS says you have more than 1024 cylinders. If it does, you may have to upgrade your BIOS or run a TSR that comes with the drive. DOS can't see more than 1024 cylinders, and may get confused. I include the output from DOS fdisk, dmesg, /sbin/fdisk, and /sbin/disklabel below. DOS says I have less than 1024 cylinders, although the dmesg shows the disk reporting a real geometry of 2756 cyl. I did use the geometry reported by DOS in the FreeBSD install. You can see this in the data from disklabel and /sbin/fdisk. One way around this is to put DOS completely in the first 1024 cylinders. This way if ncyl % 1024 is stored in the partition table, it will be correct for DOS. I believe I have DOS in the first 1024 cylinders. That's my best guess without knowing exactly what you have. My hardware is as follows: Micron brand machine Pentium 90 MHz Neptune chipset Buslogic BT946C PCI SCSI card Conner 1Gbyte drive (you can see its geometry in the messages below) Plextor 4X CD-ROM Diamond Stealth 2Mbyte VRAM -Louis ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Louis J. Giliberto, Jr. ! Support the Free Software Foundation krnlhkr@mcs.com ! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I've looked through the FAQ and searched through the mailing list archives. The only thing I've come up with is the SCSI card setting for 1 Gbyte drives. I have this turned ON on the Buslogic card. Perhaps I should turn it off? I tried turning it off, and tried booting (no reinstall) both DOS and FreeBSD, they both still had the same problem, showing the MSDOS partition occupying the entire drive. Perhaps I should turn it off and reinstall all of FreeBSD and Windows/DOS? Perhaps I should use the real geometry of the drive, and just make sure that the partition of DOS resides within 1024 cylinders again using the real geometry of the drive? This just doesn't sound quite right to me. So I guess fdisk is destructive? Everyone who has partitioned their disk to install FreeBSD, had to re-install DOS and windows? I seem to recall a message someplace saying that some Conner drives have some sort of auto-translation of the cylinders? And that some special care needs to be taken when writing the MBR code? Unfortunately I can't seem to track down this message. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- Output of DOS fdisk Partition Status Type Volume Label Mbytes System Usage C: 1 A PRI-DOS Micron 501 FAT16 49% 2 non-DOS 512 51% --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- Output of tools\dos-tools\pfdisk 0 geometry 1013 64 32 (cyl hd sec) # ID First (cyl) Last (cyl) Nmae #start, length 1 6 0 500 Dosbi 32,1026016 2 165 501 1012 unkno 1026048,1048576 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- Output of dmesg FreeBSD 2.0-RELEASE #2: Tue Nov 22 13:59:59 1994 root@fnord.cdrom.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC CPU: Pentium (Pentium-class CPU) 89 MHz Id = 0x524 Origin = "GenuineIntel" real memory = 16384000 (4000 pages) avail memory = 14929920 (3645 pages) using 290 buffers containing 2379776 bytes of memory Probing for devices on the ISA bus: sc0 at 0x60-0x6f irq 1 on motherboard sc0: VGA color <4 virtual consoles> ed0 not found at 0x280 ed1 not found at 0x300 sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa sio0: type 16550A sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa sio1: type 16550A sio2 not found at 0x3e8 sio3 not found at 0x2e8 lpt0 at 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa lpt0: Interrupt-driven port lp0: TCP/IP capable interface lpt1 not found at 0xffffffff lpt2 not found at 0xffffffff fdc0 at 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa fdc0: [0: fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in] wdc0 not found at 0x1f0 wdc1 not found at 0x170 bt0: Bt946C/ 0-PCI/EISA/VLB(32bit) bus bt0: reading board settings, busmastering, int=15 bt0: version 4.24, sync, parity, 32 mbxs, 32 ccbs bt0: targ 0 sync rate=10.00MB/s(100ns), offset=15 bt0: targ 6 sync rate= 4.54MB/s(220ns), offset=15 bt0: Enabling Round robin scheme bt0 at 0x330 irq 15 on isa bt0 waiting for scsi devices to settle bt0 targ 0 lun 0: type 0(direct) fixed SCSI2 bt0 targ 0 lun 0: sd0: 1013MB (2074880 total sec), 2756 cyl, 8 head, 94 sec, bytes/sec 512 bt0 targ 6 lun 0: type 5(readonly) removable SCSI2 bt0 targ 6 lun 0: cd0: cd present.[145069 x 2048 byte records] uha0 not probed due to I/O address conflict with bt0 at 0x330 ahc0 not found ahb0 not found aha0 not probed due to I/O address conflict with bt0 at 0x330 aic0 not found at 0x340 pas0 not found at 0x1f88 sea0 not found wt0 not found at 0x300 mcd0: timeout getting status mcd0 not found at 0x300 mcd1: timeout getting status mcd1 not found at 0x340 ie0 not found at 0x360 ep0 not found at 0x300 is0 not found at 0x280 le0: no board found at 0x300 le0 not found at 0x300 ze0 not found at 0x300 npx0 on motherboard pci0: scanning device 0..15, mechanism=2. chip0 on pci0:0 chip1 on pci0:2 pci0:3: vendor=0x1095, device=0x640, class=storage [not supported] map(10): io(1f0) map(14): io(3f4) map(18): io(170) map(1c): io(374) pci0:13: vendor=0x104b, device=0x1040, class=storage [not supported] map(10): io(fcfc) graphics0 on pci0:14 changing root device to sd0a --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- Output of /sbin/disklabel # /dev/rsd0a: type: SCSI disk: label: MBR based label flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 32 tracks/cylinder: 64 sectors/cylinder: 2048 cylinders: 1013 rpm: 0 interleave: 0 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] a: 51200 1026048 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 501 - 525) b: 65536 1077248 swap # (Cyl. 526 - 557) c: 1048576 1026048 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 501 - 1012) d: 2074880 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 1013*) e: 1026016 32 MSDOS # (Cyl. 0*- 500*) g: 931840 1142784 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 558 - 1012) Warning, revolutions/minute 0 super block size 0 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- Output of /sbin/fdisk ******* Working on device /dev/rsd0a ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=1013 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl) parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=1013 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl) Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 0 is: sysid 6,(Primary 'big' DOS (> 32MB)) start 32, size 1026016 (500 Meg), flag 80 beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1;

I've tried overridding the detected values of 28.3, with 45, but there really does seem to be 28.3 on all the clock ports. The LapTop is utterly generic, which by the way is running FreeBSD 021095 SNAP quite nicely including a DLINK PCMCIA ethernet card and TDK PCMCIA modem. The Soundblaster (2.1) works, though I haven't gotten the FM stuff detected. What places other than 0x388 are used for the FM synthesizer chips. No RTF(owners)M doesn't help. I read through it about 9 times so far.

Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Got a slight problem: OS-BS claims that there is "No operating system" when I try to boot FreeBSD. I can boot fine by using the boot floppy and telling it to boot off sd(0,a)/kernel. When I did the initial install, I very carefully didn't do the fdisk portion. This meant that for the first time, I managed to install a *BSD without wiping my DOS partition. I was not able to tell from the man page if disklabel(8) would destroy my DOS partition or not and thus I have not run "disklabel -B". What can I try?

You can use 'window' to split your screen into two halves. Never actually used it though.

This will allow any WfWg system to transpartenly mount stuff on your FreeBSD system. samba is probably faster than NFS.

However, this is going up in a production evironment (yes, I feel 1.1.5.1 is production quality!) as an internet gateway. A little bit of background: I've setup this new machine (a 486/33... in case anyone is curious, FreeBSD will run on a single CPU Digital Application433MP which is a huge EISA'ish machine capable of handling 3 CPU's). I'm using a 16450 (8250) serial port (DB9) with a cable capable of handling modem control. The modem is a Boca 14.4 (DB-25) that is a perm. connection to a service provider. The problem: I launch the slattach using "-h -z -u... " etc to force an initial dialup. At first everything would connect but the modem would not actually pass anything out or in to the System. Hmmm, using "-l" would make everything run okay. Okay, so I diddled with some parameters on the modem and got a new cable and have managed to get over that hurdle. The problem now is the modem gets disconnected from the service provider, it properly reports a HUP to the slattach process. This causes us to reissue the chat script. Almost immediately the chat script gets an error saying it is unable to write to the port. This causes a new HUP to be seen by the slattach process... which launches a new chat script... etc. Well... this is a major league bummer since I need the slattach to be able to automatically redial if it looses the connection. Kind of defeats a perm. connection if it's only as permanent as the initial dialup. Uhg. Does anyone know of a way around this problem? Any patches to sio.c or slattach that would make it handle this better? I've put quite a bit of time and energy trying to get this to work... without success. I've even tried a DB25 based 16550A serial card I used in my own personal machine with good luck (until recently when my machine decided to eat the partition table... trust me.. this is a really bad thing to happen to you). This didn't solve the problem. Any help, pointers, etc would be greately appreciated!!! Soon this machine will be up on the net as `DMB.COM'. The internet gateway for a law firm in Manchester, NH. I'd really like this to work since other companies in the area are also expressing interest... I'm doing my best to spread FreeBSD around! :-) Thanks, - Jeff Anuszczyk P.S. - I did try FreeBSD 2.0R (Walnut Creek CD-ROM version). It installed like a dream... love the new install script. However, it wasn't stable enough to put up as a gateway machine (sorry... it crashed after about 8 hours and corrupted most of the disks... that puzzled me a bit). The machine is a DEC Application433MP (486/33) with 32MB, EISA, Adaptec 1540B, SMC Elite Ultra-Combo and gobs of disk space (about 3.5GB).

Basically, I've been a happy V1.1.5.1 user for quite some time when, all of a sudden, the partition table on my machine decide to get corrupted. Ugh. As an aside, everyone should seriously consider getting a PD program off the net that can do a backup of this. Losing your partition table means you loose the entire contents of the disk. Unless you can restore it... everything is gone. In any case, I've been unable to get either V1.1R or 2.0R installed again to the SCSI disk. In either case the system usually panics while copying data to one of the partitions (usually /usr). The panic is 'duplicate Inode'. Most frustrating... especially since I haven't changed the configuration of this machine at all from the last time it worked prior to the loss of the partition table. So, what have I checked? 1) Memory... I did a full comprehensive test of all system memory It all checked out just fine (took about 4 hours to test 16MB using 10 passes of the checker). 2) Disk..... I did a low level SCSI format, then SCSI verify, then scandisk, then linear read/butterfly read/random read. Everything came out okay. 3) System... passed all diagnostics from a 3rd party package. 4) Virus.... the restore DOS stuff passed McCafee clean So, what have I done? 1) Rewrote the MBR using FDISK/MBR 2) Re Fdisk'ed the whole thing to have 1 Primary dos, 1 Extended and 1 FreeBSD (total 1GB) 3) Reloaded V1.1R from CD-ROM (would have then tried to upgrade to 1.1.5.1 via the patches). No go... panics trying to load to the /usr partition (usually... I've done it a number of times and it did fail once in the root partition). 4) Tried to load V2.0R from CD-ROM... same sort of problem as V1.1R. Note that I used the latest Floppy images from freefall.cdrom.com generated by Jordan... the images on the CD-ROM wouldn't work for me. What is the configuration? Intel 486DX2/66, Generic VLB Motherboard w/ AMI, 16MB, 256KB cache Adaptec 1542B (using for floppy controller too) DEC DSP3107LS SCSI-II (1.05GB) NEC CDR-84 SCSI-I CD-ROM Western Digital IDE (212MB) ATI Mach-8 SMC Elite Ultra-C Combo card for 2 Serial, 1 Parallel, IDE Colorado Jumbo-250 Again, this machine was working just fine until the partition table went away. Why did that happen? Don't know... can't tell... assumed I had a virus or something but checking of my restored DOS backup tape contents didn't show any viruses. I, unfortunately, can't restore the tape backups of FreeBSD. None of the tapes that I made (and I did do regular backups) seem to be readable. I even went and got a new Jumbo-250 to see if there was something wrong with mine. No go... the tapes just report a bunch of ECC memory errors from the ft program. This causes dump to bauk with a checksum error. Oh yea, I was able to restore a virgin 1.1R system to the IDE drive. Other than this use I've actually had the IDE disk disabled in the BIOS (I even unplugged it!). This makes it even more of a question and seems to point the finger at the HD/Adaptec controller. Boy am I stumped on this one. General questions: 1) Would modifying the speed of the Adaptec controller to 5.0MB instead of the default 5.7MB achieve anything? I seem to remember someone talking about this once upon a time. 2) Would trying to install on the disk WITHOUT dos being installed help debug this (I need to restore my DOS partition though... since I use some stuff on that side of the world). 3) Would playing around with some BIOS stuff like memory wait states, etc help. Perhaps slowing things down a tad would point out some timing problems. Any thoughts, suggestions, etc would be greately appreciated. If I'm going to loose my V1.1.5.1 system I'd just as soon upgrade to V2.0R. Any ideas as to how to get that installed would also be really appreciated. In all honesty I've seriously thought of replacing the motherboard with one of the ASUS boards (containing the NCR SCSI) that everyone is speaking so highly about. Any thoughts, suggestions, etc about that? How much does a bare one (I've got the CPU and 72-pin SIMMS already) go for and what model number is it. Oh boy... a very frustrated computer user! Sorry about the length of this but I've been going crazy trying to get this working. Time to change professions... anyone need a burger flipper :-) Thanks for any help! - Jeff From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Feb 23 11:13:41 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id LAA09986 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 23 Feb 1995 11:13:41 -0800 Received: from UConnVM.UConn.Edu (uconnvm.uconn.edu [137.99.26.3]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with SMTP id LAA09979 for ; Thu, 23 Feb 1995 11:13:31 -0800 Received: from MARKYMAT.STAM.UCONN.EDU by UConnVM.UConn.Edu (IBM VM SMTP V2R2) with TCP; Thu, 23 Feb 95 14:13:16 EST Received: from UCSTAM1/MAIL_Q by MARKYMAT.STAM.UCONN.EDU (Mercury 1.13); Thu, 23 Feb 95 14:12:13 +1100 Received: from MAIL_Q by UCSTAM1 (Mercury 1.13); Thu, 23 Feb 95 14:12:10 +1100 From: "Jason W.

I just tried pfdisk after I booted DOS off a diskette, and after I booted from the hard disk. They both gave the same result. If they didn't, I have further clue. Let me reiterate, that I had originally had DOS occupying one slice which was the entire disk. I then attempted to install FreeBSD. I used FreeBSD fdisk and disklabel utilities to partition the drive into two slices. I did NOT reinstall DOS on the first slice. My question was whether I needed to reinstall DOS on the first slice. Has anyone very repartitioned their disk to install FreeBSD? If so, did you have to reinstall DOS? I guess I will now go back and reinstall DOS and see if the DOS DIR will give the correct amount of free space.

He obtained majordomo by ftp from its standard archive, then ran gcc on it on the local host. He first got an error from majordomo complaining that it can't find ctime.pl. I checked my installation of FreeBSD on a different machine and found that the *.pl files seemed to come with the source distribution (we had only installed the basic binary distribution on the host in question). So we copied over that directory and put the *.pl files into majordomo's directory. He now got a second and more arcane error. He recalls reading in the majordomo docs that it requires a recent version of perl, and that earlier versions definitely won't run. Is this a known issue?

If they are background tasks, they aren't supposed to die when the user logs out if they were started from a shell other than sh, or if they were started in sh with "nohup". A background process is not a member of the same process group as the foreground process, so it won't be sent a sighup when the DCD goes from on-to-off on the modem and all/some (there is disagreement on the exact implementation) of the processes in the process group get a SIGHUP -- assuming the modem is set up correctly and the line is -CLOCAL and HUPCL.

The lockf code in perl seems to be bogus: eval.c: if (fp) { argtype = (int)str_gnum(st[2]); value = (double)(flock(fileno(fp),argtype) >= 0); } value returns 1 if the lock is ok. some perl code I have expects a zero return if the flock is ok. it is an easy change but I don't know enough about perl's innards to suggest everybody fix it :-) ftpmail used fcntl with 32 bit off_t's for locks.

So someone enter into an NDA and put a binary driver up for FTP already! Sheesh! NDA's are only a problem if your kernel is GPL'ed and you give it away so that it's not OK to give them away with binary only pieces. I suggest that it be a loaded module however, since binary-only ought not to be included in the distribution kernels. Besides, it doesn't make any sense to distribute a driver for a rare piece of hardware in your default kernel.

I've noticed a couple a strange problems, which are probably my fault as I know very little about setting up PCI and EISA hardware. Anyway, here are my problems: The PCI disk controller seems to be a bit unstable. Under linux the machine would start having bizarre parse errors during compiles when the disk got busy. Under FreeBSD I haven't gotten it installed well enough to run this test. However, when I compile a new kernel for freebsd, it have to do the following: % cp /kernel /kernel.gen % cp kernel /kernel If I do the same two commands with a mv instead of cp, the /kernel file will not boot. If I use the first method, I get to keep the generic kernel, but you can't ever boot from it. It looks like the boot banner is looking at a specific place on disk for /kernel. I don't have this problem on my 486 at home running freebsd, so I'm wondering if I missed something. The other problem I am having is with a 3com 3c579 EISA card. No matter what I set my EISA slot setting to for the board, freebsd picks up the IRQ as 10. I hacked on the if_ep.c file and commented out the check for the IRQ, and it would then recognize the card and initialize it for use, but then I can't ever get it to talk out of either port (AUI or UTP). I realize the IRQ check failing is probably an indication that it just isn't configured right, but I can't get it to work even if I put the EISA slot at IRQ 10. Any help appreciated.

To: David Lim , questions@FreeBSD.org X-Mailer: AIR Mail 3.X (SPRY, Inc.) Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've attached the original message below so you can see my reply first, then check the data which is long. Since 3 different fdisks (DOS, BSD, and the dos_tools) show the partition table to be correct, I have to think that your DOS filesystem is hosed. DOS reports free space on the disk based on the number of clusters in the file system. Int21h Function36h reports total clusters and remaining clusters. This is the FAT table we know and love so well. I haven't peeked at the BSD dosfs code, but my guess is that the call df makes computes the freespace the same way. So, your FAT or the number of clusters may have gotten hosed in your DOS filesystem. You can run chkdsk under DOS, but be prepared to lose some files. There are several reasons for DOS filesystem corruption: sometimes it just "happens", a virus can do it, or BSD could have hosed it. If you hadn't mounted a DOS filesystem under BSD I don't think BSD did it. If you make the DOS partition with BSD's fdisk, you might not want to do this. Generally I make DOS partitions with DOS's fdisk, BSD with BSD's, etc. I would back up what I have, and do a chkdsk. It will report if the FAT is corrupted, and that would explain what is wrong. If that is the case, you will want to find out as soon as possible anyhow because you will eventually lose files. Hope that helps and let me know how it turns out or if you need more help. -Louis <---- Begin Included Message ----> <---- Begin Included Message ----> I just installed FreeBSD 2.0-R from the Walnut CD-ROM on a 1 Gbyte drive. I created two slices one for DOS and one for FreeBSD. When I boot DOS, I run fdisk, and it shows the slice sizes correctly. However, the DOS dir command still reports free space relative to the entire disk. E.g. it says 100 Mbytes used, 900 Mbytes free. Is this just a DOS bug of some sort? I'm worried that DOS will overwrite sectors assigned to FreeBSD. <---- End Included Message ----> An additional piece of information. When I first partitioned the FreeBSD slice, I first imported the MS-DOS slice to partition e. However, when I do a df under FreeBSD, it shows the same incorrect information as the DOS DIR command. df shows my /dev/sd0e (MS-DOS slice) as having a capacity the size of the entire disk! I've looked through the FAQ and searched through the mailing list archives. The only thing I've come up with is the SCSI card setting for 1 Gbyte drives. I have this turned ON on the Buslogic card. Perhaps I should turn it off? I tried turning it off, and tried booting (no reinstall) both DOS and FreeBSD, they both still had the same problem, showing the MSDOS partition occupying the entire drive. Perhaps I should turn it off and reinstall all of FreeBSD and Windows/DOS? Perhaps I should use the real geometry of the drive, and just make sure that the partition of DOS resides within 1024 cylinders again using the real geometry of the drive? This just doesn't sound quite right to me. So I guess fdisk is destructive? Everyone who has partitioned their disk to install FreeBSD, had to re-install DOS and windows? I seem to recall a message someplace saying that some Conner drives have some sort of auto-translation of the cylinders? And that some special care needs to be taken when writing the MBR code?

X-Mailer: TBBS/PIMP v2.53 Date: Fri, 24 Feb 95 04:05:42 Subject: FreeBSD and OS/2 To: questions@FreeBSD.org Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello. We recently purchased the FreeBSD 2.0 January 1995 disk from Walnut Creek CD-ROM. After looking over the introductory material, I have some questions I hope you can help me with. Currently we have a network of computers all running OS/2 Warp v3.0 with OS/2 LAN Server v4.0. In addition to the OS/2 network protocol, LAN Server supports the TCP/IP protocol via its built-in Multiple Protocol Transport Services. The LAN itself is a standard 10-MBPS Ethernet running on RG 58 A/U wiring. The OS/2 TCP/IP base kit provides outbound FTP, Telnet, and World Wide Web access, plus a Network News reader. Unfortunately, this is only half of what we are after. In addition to outbound support of these services, we would like to provide our OS/2 machines with a domain name server and a local Network News server. Further, we would like to provide our customers with the ability to FTP and Telnet to our site, read our local Network News, and browse our World Wide Web home page. Naturally, security is a concern. I am not very familiar with the "fire wall" software, but I do want to make every reasonable attempt to keep hackers from accessing our data. I do not believe this will be a problem, since we only want outbound TCP/IP access from our OS/2 network. Please correct me if I am wrong, but it does not seem likely that a hacker could use the TCP/IP protocol to access data supplied from our OS/2 server running the OS/2 protocol. In other words, it is my understanding that only the data contained on the FreeBSD machine would be at risk. And, based on what I have read, it seems that you have taken every reasonable precaution to thwart hackers by encripting vital system files and such. We hope to be able to use a 128Kbps ISDN line to provide a physical connection to the Internet. My main questions at this point are: 1) Is it even possible to do what I have outlined using FreeBSD? Can your product provide domain name, network news, telnet, FTP, and WWW services to our customers across the Internet? 2) Is it possible to install the ISDN adapter on the OS/2 server and use it to "route" (is this the right word?) the TCP/IP packets, or would it be best to hook it up to the FreeBSD machine? Do you recommend any specific types of ISDN hardware? 3) How much horsepower is necessary to drive this type of service using FreeBSD? Will the operating system run comfortably on a Cyrix 486DX2-66 with 12 Megs of RAM? 4) How much hard drive space will we need to do a COMPLETE install of FreeBSD, including all of the services mentioned, X-Windows, source code... the whole thing? The documentation speks of a 2 GB disk, but acts like 150 Megs or so will do the trick. I appreciate your help tremendously. If you have any recommendations on where I can find more information about ISDN and TCP/IP connections, please let me know.

What you DO need is to recompile your kernel with the options GATEWAY options IPFORWARDING (I'm not sure if you need the latter; at one point you did and I've left it in my kernel configs ever since...) statements. Check out the FAQ for how to rebuild and install a new kernel. Once you have the new kernel, you must assign IP addresses to the serial and ethernet interfaces so that they are in different subnets - for example, if you are routing between class C network 192.1.1.0 and 192.1.2.0 you might assign the ethernet interface 192.1.1.1 and the serial interface 192.1.2.1. Also you'll probably need to define a default route (if your're running routed, and your provider is using RIP, you will probably get a default route automatically); for example route add default 192.1.2.1 would make the serial interface (your gateway to the world...) the default way to send packets out (if there's no default route then the system won't know what to do with "foreign" packets...) You'll probably also want to set the default routes on your ethernet connected machines to point to the ethernet on the FreeBSD box so that they'll know how to get to the world too...

Terry, thank you for your prompt reply! Ok, but on FreeBSD 1.1.5.1, and on a SVR3.2 box, all processes die off when the user logs out, including the background ones, unless specifically run with nohup. For example, last night, my X server stopped (I sent a HUP signal to it), but all the programs that were running kept running on unconnected virtual terminals! I am a little bit mystified at the bevahiour of 2.0R, as I can't see it being fit for an internet gateway, especially if users can login and leave programs running simply by running them in the background! The obvious question is: how can I - Make the processes part of the shell's process group so that they properly die when lines are hungup? - Patch the kernel so that all processes associated with a terminal get a HUP signal unless they are -HUPCL? The reason behind this need for the HUP signal is that I've written a user timelimit daemon that is executed for each user as they login, and keeps track of how much online time they use, etc..., and I need it to reliably get a HUP signal when the user logs out so that it can shut itself down. **> This program worked under FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 and SVR3.2!

You were aware that older Saturn chipsets did not correctly do writeback and thus could not be used with bus mastering DMA disk or other controllers, right? And that this applied to Neptune and Mercury chips too for a while, because the problem was in the PCI bridge masks, and those were shared between all of the chips? This is one of the reasons I've suggested auto-detect and a BINVD or other workaround for cache problems, with big messages at boot: THIS MACHINE DOES NOT SUPPORT CACHE WRITEBACK OR INVALIDATION THIS MACHINE HAS THE PENTIUM FDIV BUG THIS MACHINE DOES NOT SUPPORT DMA TRANSFERS ABOVE 16M etc. Then work around it in software. Bletcherous, but anything that works is better than anything that doesn't work. Can you check the date of manufacture and type of PCI bridge chip in your machine? If it isn't from March 1994 or later, you will need replacement chips to run most protected mode operating systems. Try turning off caching (external only, then internal only, then external and internal both off) as a workaround. Also, can you check your main bus controller chipset? Is it OPTi or HiNT and you have more than 16M of memory? If so, one workaround might be to yank memory out until you have 16M or less. You may want to try this anyway, and if it works, report the chipset type to warn others off.

If you have an existing DOS slice on a drive that you want to repartition to allocate space for a different OS (e.g. FreeBSD), running DOS fdisk on the partition is destructive. This means you should: - back up your DOS slice - boot off a floppy - run fdisk - delete the slice - create the new slices with the correct sizes - format the DOS slice - restore your data onto the DOS slice - proceed to installing FreeBSD on the 2nd slice I found the section on repartitioning in the Linux Installation-HOWTO document to be helpful. Combining this information with the FreeBSD diskspace.FAQ, gives you a good overview of PC slices. There are programs (fips) that non-destructively repartition your slices. The Linux document refers to the use of fips. I see that fips is now in: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.0-RELEASE/tools/dos-tools/fips.exe ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools/dos-tools/fips11.zip The fips.exe executable appears to be identical to the one in the fips11.zip archive. I don't believe I have fips on my Walnut Creek FreeBSD 2.0 CD-ROM (Jan 1995). I'll have to double check. Either way, fips still strong recommends that you back up your data before using it. terry@cs.weber.edu tells me there is a program called "parted". I did not attempt to locate this utility. Aside: Backing up your DOS slice - To be safe I backed up my DOS slice in two ways before doing fdisk: - using the MWBACKUP utility in Windows (I have Windows for Workgroups 3.11) to back up the data to a second drive. - using XCOPY (I have MS-DOS 6.22) to backup the data to a second drive. I then searched for all hidden files (since XCOPY does not copy hidden files). I found that the only hidden files that existed where in the root directory. - When I came to restore my data, I first tried the xcopy backup. I was able to boot and run DOS, but Windows hung. It started up showing the banner screen, then hung. - I then re-installed generic Windows and run MWBACKUP and was able to restore all my data. - It is curious that xcopy was not able to restore my data.

Labels are scoped per function. You can only use a label once per function. A special exception is the case label; case labels are scoped per switch statement; you can use a case label only once in a single switch statement. Variables are dynamically scoped. An auto variable can be declared follwoing any left brace ("{") prior to statements (code). For instance: main() { int i = 5; printf( "i == %d\n", i); { int i = 7; printf( "i == %d\n", i); } printf( "i == %d\n", i); } It should be noted that dynamic scoping of variables is not handled by some older PC compilers. Actually, early versions of Microsoft C had problems with trashing the stack if you used them. Sean Fagan worked on the Microsoft C 5.x code under SCO. I remember I first met him (back in 1989) at SCO Forum when he was working on a problem of when a quad should be generated for a weird case. 8-). Many older compilers also don't like the left brace not following a function declaration or some other conditonal statement. My Altos 886 would puke on the "{" following the printf above. It would also puke on NULL statements following if/for/else/ etc. ...so you couldn't use just ';' in place of continue. I think this was to protect the programmer from himself for things like: for( i = 0; i < 10; i++); printf( "i is %d\n", i); which would print out a single "10". 8-). Many compilers (like early versions of Lattice C on the PC and Amiga, now sold by SAS but presumably fixed) would blow up when you used too many 'register' keywords. Typically, one should avoid dynamically scoping variables becauses it takes more instructions each time you adjust the stack pointer or put it back. Personally, I *like* reusing labels; it aids in a uniform code style for single entry/single exit programming, like: int foo() { int fd; int err = ER_FAILURE; /* default*/ ... stuff ... if( some_condition) { err = ER_SUCCESS; goto done; } if( ( fd = open( "myfile, O_RDWR)) == -1) goto error; if( try_something() == -1) goto error_1; ... more stuff ... err = ER_SUCCESS; /* * Fall through to recover implied state */ error_1: /* error with file still open*/ close( fd); error: /* plain error*/ done: /* success*/ return( err); } Single entry/single exit is especially important if you do things like holding locks in the code. It also helps you isolate critical code sections for if/when you want to do multithreading (even in the kernel). Well. This has turned into a pretty long diatribe. 8-). Hope it helps you out.

OK, this is where the potential contention lies. The current code doesn't SIGHUP on process group leader death in accordance with POSIX and SVR4. The previous code was more like BSD 4.3. Some people think it is the responsibility of the group leader (in this case, xterm) to "do the right thing". Unfortunately, these same people don't explaing why the right thing happens under SVR4 (POSIX model) but not under BSD (POSIX model). I think the signal needs to be propagated to all children of the group leader *bfore* they become group leaders themselves, but processed by them *after* they ar promoted. This would result in the "expected" behaviour. The problem is in controlling tty revocation, since the tty is revoked from everone at once but the HUP is only delivered to the group leader at the time. The other processes get their tty revoked but they don't get a HUP because they aren't group leaders at the time (as would be the case in SVR4). Currently, this code is kinda a mess.

In src/lib/libc/xdr there is a xdr_float.c file but Makefile.inc defines UNSUPPORTED+= xdr_float.c My question is, is it possible to add the code below in future releases of FreeBSD? #include #include int xdr_float(xdrp, fp) XDR *xdrp; float *fp; { return xdr_long(xdrp, (long*)fp); } int xdr_double(xdrp, dp) XDR *xdrp; double *dp; { return xdr_long(xdrp, (long*)dp + 1) && xdr_long(xdrp, (long*)dp); } Pedro From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 24 14:36:22 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id OAA26135 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 24 Feb 1995 14:36:22 -0800 Received: from nevis.oss.interact.net (nevis.oss.interact.net [204.147.85.3]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with ESMTP id OAA26129 for ; Fri, 24 Feb 1995 14:36:13 -0800 Received: (from greg@localhost) by nevis.oss.interact.net (8.6.9/8.6.9) id QAA01133 for questions@FreeBSD.org; Fri, 24 Feb 1995 16:28:33 -0600 From: Greg Rowe Message-Id: <199502242228.QAA01133@nevis.oss.interact.net> Subject: mb_map full Crashes To: questions@FreeBSD.org Date: Fri, 24 Feb 1995 16:28:32 -0600 (CST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 546 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I've had a couple of these '/kernel: mb_map full' crashes since installing the latest snap.

Now my top priority is a serial line problem that is probably equally basic. (As I said before, I'm -very- new to FreeBSD and unix-on-PCs - questions on the order of 'did you plug it in' are not out of line...) The symptom is that I can't seem to read anything from the serial lines. I've run a cable to my SPARCstation, and fired up a kermit on the other end. When I cat to /dev/tty01 on the BSD box, the data shows up in the kermit. But when I cat from /dev/tty01 and type in the kermit nothing happens. Also, I am getting no input from my mouse on /dev/tty00 (which makes X11 pretty useless...) I've tried using ttyi01 to toggle various flags; but with no detectable result. (Except for being able to kick the baud rate up to 38.4K). I'm using the built-in serial ports on an ASUS PCI/I SP3G, and FreeBSD 2.0 (January 1995 Walnut Creek CD-ROM).

Well, I solved my problem eventually. :) After playing with route get and noticing that the inserted netmask for the subnet routes being added was 255.255.255.255 instead of 255.255.255.248, a few different people read the manual page carefully and eventually spotted that the -netmask parameter had to come *after* the destination (gateway) for it to be applied correctly (doh). So the command : route add -net 203.8.116.40 203.8.116.4 -netmask 255.255.255.248 works, whereas : route add -netmask 255.255.255.248 -net 203.8.116.40 203.8.116.4 does not work. ...

The "mb_map full" message only comes out once, and may very likely have happend long before your crash - are you saying that it happens immediately before the panic? Can you provide more details on the panic - such as the trap message if there was one.

It's an Inland three-button serial mouse. Supposed to be MicroSoft and Mouse Systems compatible. (There's a small switch on the bottom marked 'MS AM' and 'PC/AT'.) I suspect that my problem is pretty basic and generic, since I'm not getting input on either serial line. (This has the feel of one of those things that will turn out to be -real- obvious, once it's been pointed out...) Is it possible that I'm just not getting the input interrupts? I've re-built the kernel; but haven't touched the serial line entries in the config. And I haven't changed the BIOS bindings of those two ports to COM1 and COM2. (There don't seem to be any explicit interrupt settings separate from the COMx binding.)

You just have to set up your X application's default environment. For the console, it depends on the console software you are running.

But when it goes to compile, it starts picking up things for the gus and stuff. Do I have a wrong config here? And if so, what is the correct config. If someone will tell me what options/devices are needed for each supported card, I will whip a Sound HOWTO.

Well some clean up work is being done on this driver so this will change, but in the mean time you need to define the following options in your config (believe it or not) : EXCLUDE_PAS EXCLUDE_GUS EXCLUDE_MPU401 EXCLUDE_UART6850 EXCLUDE_PSS EXCLUDE_GUS16 EXCLUDE_GUSMAX EXCLUDE_MSS EXCLUDE_SBPRO EXCLUDE_SB16 EXCLUDE_MIDI EXCLUDE_YM3812 EXCLUDE_SEQUENCER You may need to edit some of that to your personal setup.
