My system is a 486 DX2/66 with 8 Mb of RAM, 2 IDE hard drives, a Texel XX24 CD-ROM drive connected to an Adaptec 1522A SCSI controller. I can install from the CD everything BUT the XFREE86 material. When I select that part for installation, I first get the dialogue box: "Verifying Checksums ... wait!" This is then followed by the dialogue box: "Extracting ... wait!". Unfortunately from that point on nothing happens. There is no activity on the CD ROM or the hard drive. Can you fell from this information what my problem is? Is there a work-around which would allow me to install the material from the CD once I have the computer running FreeBSD? If a work-around is possible, please tell me the 'commands' I have to issue to work through it. I'm afraid I'm not all that literate in 'unix'.

I am running 1.1.5.1 with an STB 4-Com serial card set up to share interrupt 15. At first I had the card on IRQ 11, but I kept gettign 'strayint f' messages... thinking it was something flaky about the 4-Com; anyway, I moved the card over to IRQ 15 and the problem seemed to go away for a while... Now, I am getting some wierd messages that the sio manpage says is a problem with the bottom half of the sio driver. Here's an excerpt from dmesg: sio6: 5 more interrupt-level buffer overflows (total 5) sio6: 48 more interrupt-level buffer overflows (total 53) sio6: 128 more interrupt-level buffer overflows (total 181) sio6: 3 more interrupt-level buffer overflows (total 184) sio6: 78 more interrupt-level buffer overflows (total 262) sio6: 25 more interrupt-level buffer overflows (total 287) So far as I can tell, I am not losing any data, or at least haven't heard any customer complaints. Is this 'strayint f' a hardware problem that my sio driver thinks is an actual serial interrupt... If so, is there a problem just letting these strayint f's happen and moving my serial interrupt to something else?? Oh... here's how the kernel probes my sio stuff if it is of any use: sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa sio0: type 16550A sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa sio1: type 16550A sio4 at 0x3e8-0x3ef flags 0x705 on isa sio4: type 16550A (multiport) sio5 at 0x2e8-0x2ef flags 0x705 on isa sio5: type 16550A (multiport) sio6 at 0x1e8-0x1ef flags 0x705 on isa sio6: type 16550A (multiport) sio7 at 0x1a8-0x1af irq 15 flags 0x705 on isa sio7: type 16550A (multiport master) The problem only surfaces when using the STB 4-Com ports (sio4-7). Any info would be great, as this is annoying, but isn't causing any real problems.

It'll try to start up again in a few moments and then immediately make this shutting down noise again. This keeps on happening until I eventually have to reboot. This happens every time I run X! Now, this type of behavior occurred the other day shortly after I got FreeBSD installed and was trying to recompile the kernel... Has anyone seen something like this?!?!

It could just be that my hard drive is flaky (it has seen a lot of use and abuse in the last four years) but it seems odd that every time I ran X this would happen (unless it is just the intensive nature of X that kills it...)

I had 1.1.5.1 running on this box for a few months with no problem. First i tried to install without removing 1.1.5.1. The installation program saw the old disklabel, so after adding mount points i proceeded to install.(by the way it was on slice 4 with DOS on 1 and nothing on 2 and 3). The two floppies loaded fine but when it came time to add the bindist from the DOS partition i got chksum errors over and over, and I FTP'd the bin files and chksum/shells several times. Next i used the DOS fdisk to remove the 1.1.5.1 partitions and tried to install fresh. This time i chose slice 2 for FreeBSD. The installation locked up several times but when i could get to the part of the install to load the bindist it couldn't find the DOS partition.. The DOS partition for some reason showed up on "e" of the disklabel instead of "h"???? I went ahead and gave the mount points anyway putting /usr on "f". but when it asked where to find the DOS partition to load the bindist i gave it wd0e, however this didn't work. If anyone can give me some sugesttions on what to do now it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ron -- [-Ronald W. Porter-------------------] [-Univ.

The neat thing is that you can start to think of using pentiums on these problems, instead of a couple of IBM 590s, or a large SGI TFP system. FreeBSD networking helps a lot, too.

When the installation menu comes up, bindist installs fine and then nothing else will install. I have been able to get manpages to install once. Whenever I try to install XFree86, the system shows the message "verifying checksums...etc...." but never gets to "extracting files". After it checks the checksums the CDROM lights just go off and the system dies and I can't get back except for ctrl-backslash. When I check the kernel messages again, the following lines have been added: "scsi timeout -- Wait_for_Req--pas.c:891" "cd0(pas0:1:0):unit attention" The only way to get the CD-ROM to respond again is a cold boot. Not even DOS will recognize the CD-ROM without a cold boot. This kind of problem seems to be due to FreeBSD since it never happened to me before. If you can give me any suggestions for installation of packages or XFree86 with- out manual installation, it would be appreciated.

I have done it succesfully, but the kernel nstalled from bindist distribution didn't have ahc driver. So I copied the kernel from the boot floppy and now I can boot the system. But I have still problem with my EISA 3c579 ethernet card. It has different configuration than on the install kernel. So I decided to compile kernel. I got the kerndist and compiled it. And there were new problems - after some tries I maneged to compile kernel which recognized my SCSI driver and ethernet card, but the system still is not working - at the and of booting procedure the system can't mount my root partition, the system says that there is no MBR on my hard disk. The system is still working when booting with the kernel compiled by you (copied from install disk). Do you know what is going wrong? Where I made a mistake, or maybe I got the wrong kernel sources. Or I made a wrong kernel configuration? Could you send me your config for the kernel on install disk? Thanks in advance.

Wine0302 (the latest version) will compile on FreeBSD 2.0R, the only hitch being the definition of the sigaltstack structure in FreeBSD (which differs in the FreeBSD manpage and in /usr/include/sys/signal.h!!) which can be fixed trivially in the Wine /loader/signal.c routine. Compatability with FreeBSD has gotten much better over the past rew releases and someone is obviously working hard on it. Wine will run some of the Windows applets. Solitaire works fine, despite a Windows "Out of memory" message at startup. Minesweeper works well, but Write eats up so much CPU that it darn near hange the system and Progman won't open the group files. Some of the dialog boxes come out scrambled as well. As a demo of what can be done with some clever programming, Wine is really nice. But it doesn't claim to be anything more that Alpha code and should be treated as such - don't expect to be running Word 6.0 any time soon! You can get Wine at sunsite.unc.edu in /pub/Linux/ALPHA/wine.

I want to set up a more or less "mission critical" environment to provide internet E-Mail, gopher, ftp, etc and mix it with a PC filespace. So, I'm thinking of either an NFS solution of some kind, or possibly SAMBA (SMB based tcpip server, freeware...) and I want to have some feedback on whether Linux or FreeBSD would be the best vehicle. I presently run Linux, have for some time, happy with it, but I often hear that BSD is supposed to perform better under load. Is this true? Are there any hard numbers on this? Is there any info out there on which (Linux or BSD) has the larger user or development base? I've noticed that the ftp.cdrom.com (official distribution site) runs on BSD, is this for performance or other reasons? Thanks, all info greatly appreciated... ______________________________________ \ Craig Welch \ \ \ \ Technology Facilitator \ \ Millard North High School, \ \ Omaha, Nebraska \ \ cwelch@esu3.esu3.k12.ne.us \ \ \ \ !!REPEAL MURPHY'S LAW!! \ \ (Petitions available upon request) \ \_____________________________________\ From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 6 10:18:09 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id KAA13697 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 6 Mar 1995 10:18:09 -0800 Received: from django.inria.fr (django.inria.fr [138.96.24.70]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id KAA13691 for ; Mon, 6 Mar 1995 10:18:07 -0800 Received: by django.inria.fr (8.6.10/8.6.10) id TAA05329; Mon, 6 Mar 1995 19:17:43 +0100 Message-Id: <199503061817.TAA05329@django.inria.fr> To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: tcpdump work?

How do you tell the difference between a genuine "no problems" and no mail as the result of having been hacked? No news is *not* good news from the way that's supposed to work. On the other hand, I think it is much too frequent for your typical site; daily is simply too much crap. Some of this type of thing should be handled via administrative configuration and have much less agressive defaults. The aggressive defaults until that happens are probably a good idea security-wise but are still a pain.

Funny, I used the file called "INSTALL" in the main directory on the distribution. It seemed pretty clear to me; perhaps it wasn't abuseive or sarcastic enough for you to understand it. Tell you what - get a copy of INSTALL. Follow the instructions contained therein. See if that works for you; it does for many others... :{) > Please send me the top-secret info on how to install FreeBSD 2.0. I can keep a > secret. It's part of your distribution. Look for the file called "INSTALL". I know it's a bizzarre name; maybe the developer's can rename it to something like "These.Are.The.Instructions.Read.This.Before.Spouting.Off".

As you progress during the install continue to read the instructions/ help files. Note, that the cd doesn't have the des encryption stuff, so you can't install that, even though it is in the install options. Also, to install xfree86-3.1 you will want to run the extract.sh script from in the XFree86-3.1 directory by hand, because it doesn't work correctly in this version of the release. Gee that doesn't seem to hard.. Steve PS: As far as installation systems go, freebsd's install isn't the best, but it isn't the worst either. I personally found the Linux slackware 2.1 MUCH more annoying than the freebsd one mostly because you can't tell it to just install everything without worrying it will overwrite somthing you need, and answering all those damn questions is time consuming. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Steven Jorgensen | Khoral Research Inc. steve@khoros.unm.edu | 6001 Indian School, Suite 200 (505) 837-6500 | Albuquerque, NM 87110 ------------------------+------------------------------------ This Space for Rent. | URL: http://www.khoros.unm.edu/ ------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 6 13:57:51 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id NAA19593 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 6 Mar 1995 13:57:51 -0800 Received: from hermes.cybernetics.net (hermes.cybernetics.net [198.80.51.103]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id NAA19587 for ; Mon, 6 Mar 1995 13:57:46 -0800 Received: (from james@localhost) by hermes.cybernetics.net (8.6.8/8.6.6) id RAA16639 for questions@freebsd.org; Mon, 6 Mar 1995 17:08:50 -0500 From: James Robinson Message-Id: <199503062208.RAA16639@hermes.cybernetics.net> Subject: Installation better represented at the WWW site To: questions@FreeBSD.org (FreeBSD questions) Date: Mon, 6 Mar 1995 17:08:50 -0500 (EST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 846 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've added the INSTALL document to the tutorials tree (and to the What's New page) on the WWW site.

I'm sure all of the core team is just jumping at the chance to respond to such thoughtful, well formed questions. On behalf of the rest of the FreeBSD community, please don't hold any other questions or opinions to yourself. Now, if you would be so kind as to explain what method you are using to install FreeBSD. Did you buy the 2.0R CD-rom from Walnut-Creek? Did you download the kits from ftp.freebsd.org? If you provide this type of information you might find quicker responses. A description of loading methods can be found in the FreeBSD/FAQ/RELNOTES.FreeBSD document on ftp.freebsd.org. Lastly, to install FreeBSD from CD-ROM, it's as simple as booting MS-DOS (yea, a little bit of pain) from floppy and running the program "GO" that exists at the top level directory of the CD-ROM. - Jeff P.S. - I do hope that you understand that all of the core team does this for FREE! Unless they are independently wealthy they also hold down regular jobs. They should be applauded for doing such a great job! Not chided for something that *you* perceive as lacking. Please try to remember that when you ask for help... otherwise people will just ignore you... and rightfully so.

THe 274x and 284x support is rock solid (I own one of each card), and is a far cry from a driver simply "translated" from Linux. The driver offers improved performance by supporting tagged-queing, two commands per non-tagged queing device, better syncronous and wide negotiation protocols, and uses DMA transfers for sending its commands to the board. The kernel level driver is a total re-write. What is shared is the sequencer code (the program that is run by the scsi controller's little RISC chip). My ideas, and modifications to both my kernel driver and the sequencer code have been given back to the Linux community, but there has been slow movement to incorperate the code. Only one developer has been putting any time into it, and he has been busy lately -- and he's working on switching to FreeBSD ;-). >not sure which translation, not sure it will work- >do you know who might know or who I should contact?)

There are several documents on the floppy and a couple of on-line help screens that will greatly assist you in installing your system as you go along. Nonetheless, initial user testing has shown that some of the terminology used may be difficult for newcomers to UN*X to understand, so we've prepared this step-by-step guide explaining a typical installation. You may find it useful to print this out and keep it handy as you go through the installation, or at least read through it once carefully so that some of the prompts and questions you encounter do not come as complete surprises. 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. The installation starts with the following screen: +-------------------------- Welcome to FreeBSD! ---------------------------+ | Use ALT-F2 and ALT-F1 to toggle between debugging | | information screen (ALT-F2) or this dialog screen (ALT-F1) | | | | Please select one of the following options: | | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | 1.

You can also type the number of the option you want (1 - 7) and hit return. It's recommended that you read the README at a minimum, though the Release Notes are also helpful. This may seem a like a lot to read, but if you are new to FreeBSD then these notes are invaluable for explaining the system and are highly recommended. When you're done reading docs, select Install (5) to proceed to the next screen. This next screen is the disk editor screen, which looks like this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FreeBSD 2.0-RELEASE Installation -- Diskspace editor Disks Total FreeBSD |You should now assign some |space to root, swap, and 0: sd0 2006 MB 0 MB |(optionally) /usr partitions 1: sd1 496 MB 0 MB |Root (/) should be a minimum |of 18MB with a 30MB /usr Filesystems Type Size Action Mountpoint |or 50MB without a /usr. |Swap space should be a |minimum of 12MB or RAM * 2 |Be sure to also (A)ssign a |mount point to each one or |it will NOT be enabled. | |We suggest that you invoke |(F)disk, (W)rite the bootcode |then (D)isklabel your disk. |If installing on a drive |other than 0, also read the |TROUBLESHOOTING doc first Commands available: (H)elp (T)utorial (F)disk (D)isklabel (P)roceed (Q)uit Enter Command> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As we can see, this system has two drives, sd0 and sd1. On an IDE system, these would show up as "wd0" and "wd1" (or, on a single drive system, just sd0 or wd0). We can see that neither of them has any space assigned to FreeBSD (they each show 0MB under the FreeBSD column), so we follow the instructions on the right hand side of the screen and invoke the (F)disk editor by typing `f': Enter Command> F We're now prompted with the drive number to (F)disk, so we enter 0 for the first drive: Enter number of disk to Fdisk> 0 This now brings us to the FDISK editor screen, which looks like this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FreeBSD 2.0-RELEASE Installation -- Diskspace editor -- FDISK Disk: sd0 Geometry: 2006 Cyl * 32 Hd * 64 Sect = 2006Mb = 4108600 Sect 1 Boot?=No Type=Primary 'big' DOS (> 32MB) Phys=(c0/h1/s1..c299/h63/s32) Sector=(32..614399) Size=300 MB, 299 Cylinders + 31 Tracks + 32 Sectors 2 Unused 3 Unused 4 Unused Commands available: (H)elp (T)utorial (D)elete (E)dit (R)eread (W)rite MBR (Q)uit (U)se entire disk for FreeBSD (G)eometry Write MBR (B)ootcode Enter Command> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We see that drive 0 has a DOS partition (also called a "slice" in FreeBSD parlance, to distinguish it from a FreeBSD partition) on it which is 300MB in size (don't worry if the numbers you see are much smaller than these - I have a pretty large 2.1GB disk! :-). Let's also say we want to allocate the rest to FreeBSD, so to do this we want to (E)dit one of the existing slices. We can see that 2, 3, and 4 are unused so let's pick the first unused one, which is 2 (if we wanted to replace an existing operating system slice with FreeBSD, we'd pick its number instead). We first type `E' to edit a slice entry: Enter Command> E And we're prompted for a slice to edit. We type 2: Edit which Slice> 2 Now we're prompted for the size of the new slice, the default for which is all remaining space on the disk. Let's say that we don't want to allocate ALL the space on the disk, but want to reserve 400MB for some other future OS. The total amount of free space left is 1706MB, which is the default value selected for us, so we backspace over it and enter 1306: Size of slice in MB> 1306 Now we're asked for the type of the slice. The type is what tells the PC what sort of slice this is. DOS primary slices are, for example, type 6. FreeBSD slices are type 0xa5 (hexadecimal). If we wanted to reserve space at this time for some other type of OS like Linux or OS/2, and we knew their slice type (0x82 for Linux and 0x0A for OS/2, just in case you're interested), we could also do that from this editor, but we're only interested in FreeBSD for now so we accept the default. Type of slice (0xa5=FreeBSD)> 0xa5 The next prompt asks if we want to make this slice bootable by default, which we do so we accept the default: Bootflag (0x80 for YES)> 0x80 At this point we come back to the main screen, which now shows a new entry for slice 2: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FreeBSD 2.0-RELEASE Installation -- Diskspace editor -- FDISK Disk: sd0 Geometry: 2006 Cyl * 32 Hd * 64 Sect = 2006Mb = 4108600 Sect 1 Boot?=No Type=Primary 'big' DOS (> 32MB) Phys=(c0/h1/s1..c299/h63/s32) Sector=(32..614399) Size=300 MB, 299 Cylinders + 31 Tracks + 32 Sectors 2 Boot?=Yes Type=FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD Phys=(c300/h0/s1..c1023/h31/s0) Sector=(614400..3289087) Size=1306 MB, 1306 Cylinders 3 Unused 4 Unused Commands available: (H)elp (T)utorial (D)elete (E)dit (R)eread (W)rite MBR (Q)uit (U)se entire disk for FreeBSD (G)eometry Write MBR (B)ootcode Enter Command> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ At this point we're happy with the slices on the first drive, so we type `w' to write the new information out. It also prompts to make *sure* we really want to do this, so we backspace over the default of `N' and type `y'. And this point, we also can decide whether or not we want a "boot manager" installed. A boot manager is a little utility that prompts you for the operating system you want to boot every time you reset or power on your PC, and can be a very handy way of sharing your computer between FreeBSD and some other OS, like Linux or DOS. We decide that we want to have this feature, so we `b' to write the special MBR (B)ootcode out to the disk. This does not harm any of the other operating systems on the disk**, as it's written to a special area. Now we exit this screen by typing `q', for (Q)uit. ** NOTE: Do NOT install the MBR boot manager if you have one of those rare PCs that do cylinder translation using a special MBR "Boot Overlay" We've never encountered such a system ourselves, but we have it on good authority that such systems exist, such as those using "Disk Manager" from Ontrack Computer Systems. On such systems, the existing boot manager performs a vital function and should NOT be overwritten! Doing so may interfere with the proper functioning of your PC. If your PC did not come with a specially marked diskette, then chances are you have nothing to worry about. This brings us back to the main prompt. If we wanted to allocate any additional slices on other drives, we also could re-invoke the (F)disk editor by typing `f' again and giving a different drive number at the prompt, but we'll assume for now that we've only got one disk and want to go on. Typing `d' now enters the (D)isklabel screen, which prompts us for the drive to write a disklabel onto, like the FDISK editor. We type `0' for the first drive and hit return. This brings us to the DISKLABEL editor screen, which looks like this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FreeBSD 2.0-RELEASE Installation -- Diskspace editor -- DISKLABEL Part Start End Blocks MB Type Action Mountpoint a 0 0 0 0 unused b 0 0 0 0 unused c 1433600 4108287 2674688 1306 unused d 0 4108599 4108600 2006 unused e 0 0 0 0 unused f 0 0 0 0 unused g 0 0 0 0 unused h 32 614399 614368 300 MSDOS Total size: 2674688 blocks 1306Mb Space allocated: 0 blocks 0Mb Commands available: (H)elp (T)utorial (E)dit (A)ssign (D)elete (R)eread (W)rite (Q)uit (P)reserve (S)lice Enter Command> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The BSD partitions, a - h, are FreeBSD's way of dividing up a physical slice into multiple file systems. Every FreeBSD system should have, at minimum, a root file system and a swap partition allocated. The root file system is called "/", and is generally put on partition `a' by convention. Swap partitions always go on `b', and the `c' and `d' partitions are special and point to the entire FreeBSD slice and the entire disk, respectively. `c' and `d' cannot and should not be allocated to actual file systems. We also see that partition h points conveniently to the DOS slice, which we can also assign to a location in our file system hierarchy to conveniently share files between FreeBSD and DOS. More on this in a moment. A typical file system layout might look like this: / 20MB swap 32MB /usr 120MB /, or the root file system, contains system files and some temporary space. It should be at least 18MB in size, though a little extra doesn't hurt. Swap space is one of those "it never hurts to have too much" sorts of items, though if your system isn't too heavily used then it's probably not that important to have lots and lots of it. A good rule of thumb for swap is that you want a minimum of 12MB of it, and the overall calculation should be the amount of memory you have multiplied by two. That is to say that if you have 16MB of memory, then 32MB of swap is good. If you've got several drives, you can also allocate some swap on each one and spread the load out a little. On my personal system, I've got 32MB of main memory and 64MB of swap on both drives for a total of 128MB of swap. This gives me 4X memory for total program swapping, which gives me the ability to run some pretty big programs! Emacs and the X Window System, in particular, can be real swap hogs. In any case, we'll assume for the moment that we're still configuring the ideal system and we'll allocate 64MB of swap space, using the MEM * 2 equation. If you only had 8MB of memory, you'd allocate 16MB of swap instead. The second file system of importance is /usr, which contains further system binaries and all of the bundled user binaries. /usr should be at least 80MB in size to hold all of the important binaries, though if you plan on having a big /usr/local or on loading the X Window System (also known as XFree86 3.1) distribution then you should either create separate file systems for them, or you should make /usr a lot bigger. It's also possible to skip making /usr altogether and simply make a large root (/) file system. Since /usr fits "underneath" /, a missing /usr won't cause any problems if / is large enough to hold the contents for both. In any case, it's a user decision and tends to be driven by convention more than anything else. For the purposes of this installation guide, we'll assume a 200MB /usr, 100MB of space allocated for local binaries, which we'll mount on /usr/local, and the rest for user home directories, which we'll mount on /usr/users. Don't be put off by the size of these numbers! You can make a system fit into less space, but since we're dividing up the ideal 2GB dream disk, we might as well do it right! ;-) Getting back to the relevant part of the DISKLABEL screen again, we remember that it looked like this: Part Start End Blocks MB Type Action Mountpoint a 0 0 0 0 unused b 0 0 0 0 unused c 1433600 4108287 2674688 1306 unused d 0 4108599 4108600 2006 unused e 0 0 0 0 unused f 0 0 0 0 unused g 0 0 0 0 unused h 32 614399 614368 300 MSDOS So we'll first allocate some space on partition `a' for that root partition by typing `e', for (E)dit partition. This asks us which partition we want to change the size of, so we type `a': Change size of which partition> a And it prompts us for the amount of space, so we'll pick 20MB for a nice comfortable root file system: Size of partition in MB> 20 Now we see the display change to: Part Start End Blocks MB Type Action Mountpoint a 1433600 1474559 40960 20 4.2BSD ... The system shows us where the partition starts and stops and indicates that it's a 4.2BSD file system, which is correct (it's really a 4.4 BSD file system, in actuality, but the two are similar enough to share the same label). We do the same for swap by typing `e' again and modify the `b' partition by filling in 64 for the size, to allocate 64MB of swap. Finally, remembering that `c' and `d' are special, and not for our use, we change the size of `e' to 200 for our future /usr, `f' to 100 for our /usr/local, and `g' to the rest of the disk for /usr/users. When we're done, the top of the disklabel screen should look like this: Part Start End Blocks MB Type Action Mountpoint a 1433600 1474559 40960 20 4.2BSD b 1474560 1605631 131072 64 swap c 1433600 4108287 2674688 1306 unused d 0 4108599 4108600 2006 unused e 1605632 2015231 409600 200 4.2BSD f 2015232 2220031 204800 100 4.2BSD g 2220032 4108287 1888256 922 4.2BSD h 32 614399 614368 300 MSDOS We left `h' alone, since we actually want to be able to share files with our DOS partition. At this point, we want to type `w' for (W)rite to write out the new size information to disk. You probably also noticed by now that "/", "/usr" and the other file system names we've been talking about don't appear anywhere in the above list. Where are they? This brings us to the next stage, which is to (A)ssign the new partitions to actual file system mount points. A file system in FreeBSD doesn't actually appear anywhere until we "mount" it someplace, a convention from the old days when disks were actually large removable packs that a system operator physically mounted on a large washing-machine sized disk drive spindle! As you can see, not much has changed today! :-) We'll proceed then by starting at the top with the first partition and assigning it to the root file system (/) by typing `a', for (A)ssign, and then typing `a' again, for partition a: Assign which partition> a When it asks us for the name of the mount point, we type /: Directory mountpoint> / And the display adjusts accordingly to show us the new state of affairs: Part Start End Blocks MB Type Action Mountpoint a 1433600 1474559 40960 20 4.2BSD newfs / .. The Action field also now shows "newfs", which means that the partition will be created anew. For root file systems, this is the default and cannot be changed, but other partitions can be optionally "Preserved" by typing `p' for (P)reserve. There are very few situations in which we'd want to do this, but if, say, we were actually installing a disk from an older FreeBSD machine which we wanted to mount into our new system but NOT erase, we could do it this way. For now, let's assume that this is a new installation and we want all the file systems to be created from scratch. We thus go through and assign the rest of the file systems to their respective /usr, /usr/local and /usr/users mountpoints. We also assign the `b' partition, which doesn't take a mountpoint (and won't prompt for one when we (A)ssign it), but needs us to tell it that we're ready to use it for swap. When we're done, the top of the screen should look something like this: Part Start End Blocks MB Type Action Mountpoint a 1433600 1474559 40960 20 4.2BSD newfs / b 1474560 1605631 131072 64 swap swap swap c 1433600 4108287 2674688 1306 unused d 0 4108599 4108600 2006 unused e 1605632 2015231 409600 200 4.2BSD newfs /usr f 2015232 2220031 204800 100 4.2BSD newfs /usr/local g 2220032 4108287 1888256 922 4.2BSD newfs /usr/users h 32 614399 614368 300 MSDOS As a final bonus, we'll assign the DOS partition to be mounted on /dos. We do this with (A)ssign as we did the others, and we also notice that the system is smart enough to see that it's not a FreeBSD partition and we DON'T want to newfs it, we want to simply mount it: h 32 614399 614368 300 MSDOS mount /dos At this point, our system is all set up and ready to go! We type `q' to go back to the main menu and then type `p' to (P)roceed to the next phase of installation. We're now given one last chance to back out of the install, and we hit return if we're sure, otherwise we type to select "No" and hit return to consider our settings again before going on. The rest of the installation is pretty much self-explanatory. After the file systems are initially created and populated, you'll be prompted to reboot from the hard disk. Do so and provide the cpio floppy when asked. When the initial flurry of welcome and informational prompts has died down, you'll come to a screen asking you to load one or more distributions. At the minimum, select "bindist" to load the basic system. If you're loading from other than CDROM media, follow the appropriate paths through the installation process. If you're loading from CDROM, select CDROM as the media type and select the type of CDROM you've got (SCSI or Mitsumi). When it asks you for an installation subdirectory, simply hit return if you've got the 2.0 CD from Walnut Creek CDROM. You may select additional optional packages to load after the bindist extracts, provided that you've got the space for it. Use the "?diskfree" menu option from time to time to keep an eye on your free space. When you're done, you'll be asked a few more basic questions and then that's it! You've got FreeBSD on your hard disk. If you should need to partition another drive or install other packages later, you may re-invoke the sysinstall program by typing /sbin/sysinstall. The same familiar prompts will then come up. Good luck! Jordan Hubbard for Walnut Creek CDROM and the FreeBSD Project.

I am kind of confused (as usual) on a couple of things and I hope someone out there can help me out. 1. Is it not the "CORRECT" way to configure a communications port to just leave it as /dev/tty02. I have noticed in different documents that different device identifiers (definitions) are used, such as /dev/cua2, /dev/ttyd2. Right now I am just using the tty devices for everything I want to do and just changing the /etc/ttys file as required. If I should use these other device names how do I go about configuring them? 2. In setting up PPP on my system I modeled my scripts after the ppp document in the FAQ area (document by Grennady B. Sorokopud). One thing I have noticed is that I have to (before starting the script) issue a &C &D for it to work. If I don't kermit (or anything else for that matter) will not return from /dev/tty02 and upon completion of the kermit.dial (quit) the modem hangs up. My question is: is this how this is suppose to work or am I not configuring something correctly? 3. Now this question may go inline with the above (meaning the fix {if any}) for 2 will fix this. How do you correctly use the pppd with the chat command. I have gone over both the pppd and chat man pages and I have tried every different options that I can think of and have not be able for it to work. It does access the modem (I see the TR light come on) but no commands are send to the modem. Basically I have tried: pppd /dev/tty02 57600 connect 'chat atdt999 connect ogin: bla' Well those are my main concerns right now. I hope I am not asking something really stupid but I would really apprecaite some assistance. Thanks...

This is just to say that I changed the motherboard from a PCI+VESA with UMC chipset to a PCI+VESA with Opti chipset, and things started to work. However, then the network card (SMC EtherPower 8432BT PCI) did not work. This was solved by changing the IRQ from 9 to 11. The computer also has a serial port in IRQ2, and that must be conflicting with IRQ9. Maybe the problem with the old motherboard was also due to some IRQ conflict, although everything seemed to be probed OK. I must say that I have a VESA motherboard with UMC chipset at home and it works fine with FreeBSD 2.0R. Just FYI...

Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I had a question about importing a swap partition. I checked the FAQ's and couldn't find anything. I've repartitioned my drive to install FreeBSD, however, I can't get through the install until I've allocated some swap space ofcourse. My problem is this: The space I'd like to use is it's own 10mb partition. What I'd like to do is import it into the FreeBSD partition (as section b i believe). The only thing is, that I don't know what hex value to mark it as so that when I import it using the disklabel utility it will be recognized. I assume this is how one would do this. In any case, I don't have any room on the actual BSD partition to allocate the swap, so I'm doing it in a seperate partition. I realize I could repartition the whole drive but that would be too easy ;-). Any help or tips on how to import a seperate partition into my BSD partition as swap would be greatly appreciated.

I am kind of confused (as usual) on a couple of things and I hope someone out there can help me out. 1. Is it not the "CORRECT" way to configure a communications port to just leave it as /dev/tty02. I have noticed in different documents that different device identifiers (definitions) are used, such as /dev/cua2, /dev/ttyd2. Right now I am just using the tty devices for everything I want to do and just changing the /etc/ttys file as required. If I should use these other device names how do I go about configuring them? 2. In setting up PPP on my system I modeled my scripts after the ppp document in the FAQ area (document by Grennady B. Sorokopud). One thing I have noticed is that I have to (before starting the script) issue a &C &D for it to work. If I don't kermit (or anything else for that matter) will not return from /dev/tty02 and upon completion of the kermit.dial (quit) the modem hangs up. My question is: is this how this is suppose to work or am I not configuring something correctly? 3. Now this question may go inline with the above (meaning the fix {if any}) for 2 will fix this. How do you correctly use the pppd with the chat command. I have gone over both the pppd and chat man pages and I have tried every different options that I can think of and have not be able for it to work. It does access the modem (I see the TR light come on) but no commands are send to the modem. Basically I have tried: pppd /dev/tty02 57600 connect 'chat atdt999 connect ogin: bla' Well those are my main concerns right now. I hope I am not asking something really stupid but I would really apprecaite some assistance. Thanks...

If you mean a serial port with a modem on it or an internal modem that pretends to be a serial port, then you must use a calling unit, not a tty, for controlling the port. The biggest difference is that the calling unit reacts to modem control signals, while a tty, since it is expected to be directly connected to a terminal or another machine, does not. You can create these devices with MAKEDEV. If this still works like it used to, this will make the tty's go away at the same time. You should examine the script /dev/MAKEDEV for further questions. > 2. In setting up PPP on my system I modeled my scripts after the ppp > document in the FAQ area (document by Grennady B.

My question > is: is this how this is suppose to work or am I not configuring > something correctly? The default behaviour for &C and &D is not defined. Typically, if this is a Hayes command set II modem, then &C1 (carrier follows remote carrier presence instead of being forced high) and &D2 (an on-to-off transition of DTR causes the modem to go on hook and reset to power on state) are what you want. This assumes the cable between your modem and machine are correct, assuming it's an external modem. The DCD tracking is required so that the getty open will not complete until after the modem has answered the phone and spewed the baud rate message, while the DTR is so that unless an open is present (in which case DTR will be raised), the modem will not answer the phone. When the last close occurs, the DTR will be dropped momentarily, which should cause the modem to hang up on the caller and the modem to reset. Many modems, such as Avatek, do not retrain baud after one call unless they are reset this way. That means that for a 1200/2400 modem (for instance), a caller at 1200 will prevent subsequent calls at 2400, and vice versa. Think of the C setting as causing the -CLOCAL stty flag to work and the DTR as causing the HUPCL flag to work. > 3.

I can only guess based on what people have posted to the list in the past, and this is not necessarily adequate to answer the question.

BSD thinks this is ridiculous, and is warning you that it is assuming that the CMOS really meant to say 640k, and that it thinks your CMOS is senile. This is just in case it isn't ridiculous. Probably a better message would be: CMOS claims base memory size is 639k; assuming that it meant to say 640k. This has the advantage of not scaring people, while still presenting the same information. This used to be critically important when 386BSD used to be loaded into lower memory, since it would mean that the 640k that was supposed to be there didn't but up next to the 384k that usually follows the 640k and so you couldn't expect to safely load BSD. 386BSD also had a nice bug when this wasn't 640k that resulted in what was known as "the blinky screen of death".

The SNAP install floppies are designed to install and work with SNAP distribution. I don't think the kernel that the SNAP installs in compatible with some of the 2.0R binaries either...

When BSD boots up the 3c509 is recognized and the interrupt and and address appear correctly. When I do an ifconfig ep0, it responds with UP, RUNNING, BROADCAST, NOTRAILER, and SIMPLEX, pretty much what other Unix platforms show. What does SIMPLEX mean in this context? We are currently testing this system on a closed network with a Sun and Dec Alpha. However, when I ping another host from the BSD box the ping times-out. However, I can ping the BSD box from itself. We are not running NIS or YP and want to use the local /etc/hosts file for routing. If you could provide some direction, or the location of a applicable FAQ, I would appreciate the help. Thanks.

PWs and other woes To: questions@FreeBSD.org Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have 3 FreeBSD machines netted. I'm trying to get synced passwords across all three machines without having to resort to NIS. I have one machine we'll call the main one. If I copy master.passwd to other another machine then invoke vipw and cause it to rebuild shouldn't the PWs now be synced? This doesn't appear to be the case on my systems. All the passwords quit working on the second machine. I have to invoke single user mode to even get into the system. Taking a suggestion that I possibly didn't have securedist properly installed on the main machine, I copied /etc to a backup dir and re-installed bin, then secure. Copied the /etc backup back. Whamo, now my main machine's passwords are invalid! I have backups of master.passwd, but they do no good. It's almost as if the machines are using entirely different encryption algorythms. What can I do? How do I save from having all my users redo their passwds??? This is a big problem. Also, when upgrading to a new version, I think the extract file should WARN the operator that it's about to wipe out all your /etc custom configs as well as your passwd stuff! I got bit on this once already and had to have all the users redo their passwords. Making them do it a second time will cause major problems and probably some lost customers. HELP!!!!!

Did you have securedist installed previously? After installing securedist, passwords will be encoded with DES, otherwise they will use MD5. MD5 and DES are completely incompatible. So if your passwords were MD5 encoded, installing securedist would cause serious problems. What verison of FreeBSD?

First, I don't have any docs that talk about semdmail.cf in detail. One of my book mention that uses OR option in sendmail.cf and put mailhost for the mail server in /etc/hosts to enable sendmail run in remote mode. Also, the mail directory are shared by all clients.

I am running FreeBSD SNAP 950210 on an AMD486/40 with 8 megs of ram, an IDE harddrive, a #9GXE 64 pro video board, a WD8013 ethernet card, and a GUS. At first, it would play .au files, but thats it. Changing the sample speed would fail, usualy handing the process. Playing mod files with gmod would also fail partialy. Some samples would be turned into pinging noises. Recording always fails, usualy sampling TOO slow, if it works at all. So, in an attemt to heal it, I hunted down a copy of FreeBSD 1.1.5.1, where the sould driver worked. I successfully stuck the old sound driver into FreeBSD2.?, sortof. I have suffered some completely unexplained lockups. (thats what you get for mucking with the kernel...) Onto the current adventure: I grabbed a copy of nas, and the patches off of freebsd.cdrom.com, and attempted to set it up. It compiled fine, and played A sample fine. Unfortunatly, after that sample, it locked up. No panic message or anything. I've tried it with both the old sound driver, and the current one. It will die right after playing a sample, reproduceably. Has this been fixed in -current?

I couldn't find anything to determine the status of this driver, but I noticed that the installation program did list it as a supported internet card. During an FTP of a large file I see reset messages (which it seems to recover from). Sometimes there are no reset messages - the system just locks up tighter than a drum. I also tried NFS but as you can imagine that only caused the problem quicker. The card is a 16K card at the standard settings. Is this a known problem with the driver? Is there a recommended card that I should be using?

I loaded it once and everythnig seem to be just fine. I decided to load it a second time because I added a Ether net card that I did not have the first time around. (Some told me I would have to manually make changes to my kernel if I added it after I installed the BSD. My first Question is is that true? Next after adding the Ehther net card a 3COM 3c509b I started getting address conflicts at address 300. My CD-ROM is a Mitsumi CD-ROM and is set to IRQ - 10; Address - 300h; and DMA Channel - 5. My 3COM card was orginally set to Address 200 and IRQ 3, which I changed to IRQ 11 and Address 300, 310, 320 and 340 each of which gave me this same conflict at address 300. My CD ROM intermittely refuses to function. I keep getting an error saying that it can't mount some file on (/mnt (?)), when I try to load the files during the installation. If I keep trying to use it eventaully I can grab it and then it'll use it properally. I'm sure this has to do with the conflict I'm seeing upon load up. The errors I'm seeing on load up are: mcd0: version information is 10 M 4 mcd0: adjustded for newer drive mode mcd0: type mistsumi LU005S mcd0: at 0x300-0x303 irq 10 on isa mcd1: timed out getting status . . . ep0: not probed due to I/O adress conflict with mcd0 at 0x300 . le0: not probed due to I/O adress conflict with mcd0 at 0x300 ze0: not probed due to I/O adress conflict with mcd0 at 0x300 Is it that ep0, le0 and ze0 can only be set to I/O address 0x300? Am I really getting a conflict? Where should I see that my 3COM card was reconized? Currently I have used DOS FDISK to del my FreeBSD partion and reinstate my DOS Partition. This seemes to be the only effective way to go back and reinstall FreeBSD. Please let me know if there is an easier way. I tried to preserve my e and f filesystems from the first installation and the BSD's FDISK program told me that any non mounted filesystems were automactically preserved. < BULL$#!+ > They were lost. well as far I could tell.

Is there a recommended card that I should be using? Garrett Wollman wrote this driver, and it should work (mostly). There is a known problem with 6386/33E WGS systems (the old AT&T tower machines that use the Intel supplied motherboard). What hardware are you using? If the 6386/33E, there is an AT&T supplied (not USL!) fix that you will probably need to get out of the former NCR to truly be happy with it. It's a serious software hack, and I don't know the status of it as far as how legal it would be for you to roll back into the BSD driver (I suspect you wouldn't be alloed to). The author of the fix, when he used to be with AT&T, is Kurt Mahan, but he doesn't have any code (I asked him). If necessary, I can maybe get the update information from Davis County, Utah (who uses these systems) to let you dig up a disk on your end and disassemble the code. It amounts to writing the memory on the card, reading it, and comparing it, and if it doesn't match, writing it again. I replaced all the NAU cards on these behemoths with 3COM 3C503's and haven't had a problem. Apparently WD cards don't like the motherboard either.

My first Question is is that true? No. You will have to reconfigure a kernel if you need to add a driver that was not in the original distribution, or to permanently set the baseaddress and interrupt of a card that is not in the default location. >Next >after adding the Ehther net card a 3COM 3c509b I started getting address >conflicts at address 300.

Boot the kernel with the "-c" option. You will fall into the "user-config" menu where you can manually set the baseaddress and offset of the ep0 probe. Since you have a 3C509b, the driver may not work correctly for your card, but it is worth a shot. You will have to use "-c" every time you boot until you recompile a kernel to set the location of your card. >My CD ROM >intermittely refuses to function.

The for loop terminates when ifr >= ifend. ifr is pointed to the next structure at the bottom of the for loop at line 696. The loop does not terminate due to the continues.

Is there a recommended card that I should be using? There are two problems. First of all, the card itself is too slow to keep up with full-speed transmissions. Secondly, the driver gets a receiver-not-ready interrupt and goes into fits because it doesn't know what to do, and eventually locks up. I've been sitting on the NetBSD version of this driver, which might fix these problems, but have avoided doing anything with it 'cos I haven't got one of those cards any more (and wouldn't take one if you gave it to me). -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

Can anyone with more experience in dealing with these things comment? BTW, the failure mode that I see is that, in playing an audio file, the first second or three comes out just fine (but LOUD), and then something gets stuck in an infinite loop playing the same sound over and over again. The play program gets stuck in an uninterruptible wait in the audio driver (ick!). Perhaps an IRQ register isn't getting initialized right? -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

THanks a lot! I just purchased a book (with a CD disk): 4.4BSD-Lite, CD-ROM Companion It contains the cource cide and documentation for 4.4BSD-Lite Release. Does it contain ALL the source code for 4.4BSD-Lite? I thought it does. But I am confused after I read the introduction. It says that it does not contain all the source code for 4.4BSD -- some of kernel files were removed. I understand that FreeBSD 2.0 is based on 4.4BSD-Lite. My understanding is that all the source code of 4.4BSD-Lite can be freely distributed. Am I wrong? The source code for FreeBSD 2.0 contains ALL the code. Am I wrong? I hope the CD-disk I bought contains all the code for 4.4BSD-Lite. I hope the FreeBSD 2.0 source code contain all the code. Just for the purpose of study. Very appreciated if anyone can advise me on this!

Tar originally stood for a contraction of 'Tape Archive', but it has proven to be a great general purpose utility to collect together files. I would suggest reading the tar man page....but FreeBSD doesn't have one. The tar FreeBSD uses is the GNU tar, and you can read the command parameters by typing 'tar --help' and catching the output in a file, to peruse later (it's more than a screenful). Let my give you some example command lines, maybe this'll get you started. To make a file called stuff.tar, that is an archive of the directory /usr/homes/myname/stuff, cd to the /usr/homes/myname directory. >From there, issue the command: tar -cf stuff.tar stuff If you want to gzip stuff.tar, by all means do so, 'gzip stuff.tar'. It'll work fine. You can gunzip it later, at the destination point, and then unpack the archive with the command: tar -xf stuff.tar. You could just examine what's in the tar archive by typing: tar -tf stuff.tar. Lastly, you could unzip and unpack the archive in one fell swoop: gunzip -c stuff.tar.gz | tar -xf - The -c parameter to gunzip tells it to route it's output to stdout, instead of replacing the file stuff.tar.gz with stuff.tar, and the last parameter to tar, '-', says to read the archive from the stdin (from the output of the gunzip command). This will leave the original stuff.tar.gz in place, and create the new stuff directory. One last warning. Some folks don't encapsulate their archives in directories before they archive them, so if you don't check the filenames that are listed in an archive you are about to unpack, you could find that you've just polluted your current directory with a bunch of files. If you were in your home directory, that could be a real pain. I always check an archive first: gunzip -c | tar -tvf - and if I see the file names are all proceeded with a directory name, and I'm in csh, I then issue: ^tvf^xvf to unpack. If the filenames are listed without a leading directory, I first create one for the files, cd into it, then do the unpacking. There are other nasties you could trip over. I really suggest looking up tar in a good Unix system manager's book, you won't be wasting your time. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 7608 Topton St. | New Carrollton, MD 20784 | I run Journey2 (Freebsd 2.0) and n3lxx (301) 459-2316 | (FreeBSD 1.1.5.1) and am I happy! ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 9 13:59:41 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id NAA23679 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 9 Mar 1995 13:59:41 -0800 Received: from ns1.win.net (ns1.win.net [204.215.209.3]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id NAA23673 for ; Thu, 9 Mar 1995 13:59:36 -0800 Received: (from bugs@localhost) by ns1.win.net (8.6.9/8.6.9) id RAA26803 for questions@FreeBSD.ORG; Thu, 9 Mar 1995 17:01:28 -0500 From: Mark Hittinger Message-Id: <199503092201.RAA26803@ns1.win.net> Subject: re: RZ/SZ: many CRC errors To: questions@FreeBSD.org Date: Thu, 9 Mar 1995 17:01:28 -0500 (EST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 598 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > From: "Robert A.

Before I am going to puchase the monitor ans graphics card on PC with freeBSD os. I would like to ask you some more questions. I have reviewed X386/XFree86 Video Timing documentation. It said that "there are some fundamental things your need to know about your display and adapter. These are: 1. your monitor's horizontal and vertical sync frequency options. 2. your video adapter's driving clock frequency, or "dot clock" 3. your monitor bandwidth. I would appreciate very much if you could tell me what specification on above parameters will make the better performance under XFree86. How can I make the best combination on buying a SVGA minitor and its video adapter? By the way, how can I get more information about higher-end card from #9 or ATI.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi guys. I dropped a line to Jordan and David Greenman last month about the SMC ethernet card specs I have acquired and I haven't heard back. So anyway, this is just an update, and is probably only interesting to people who write network drivers. These are the documents I have now in my sweaty little hands: 92-000029 SMC8432 PCI Ethernet Adapter Spec., Rev. D, 1 Sep 94. * This is for the DECchip 21040 based card 96-002509 SMC8416 16-bit Ethernet Adapters Spec., Rev. A, 13 Feb 95. * In other words, Elite Ultra... 96-000081 SMC9332 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter Spec., Rev A, 30 Nov 94. * This is for the DECchip 21140 based card * 100mb/sec and 10mb/sec modes are possible EC-QC0CA-TE DECchip 21140 PCI Fast Ethernet LAN Controller Hardware Reference Manual, 10 Feb 95. * This is the chipset reference for the above card, from DEC. These are the adapters that they sent me: SMC8432 EtherPower PCI Ethernet Adapter (10baseT) (21040 chipset) SMC8416 EtherEZ PnP Ethernet Adapter (combo) (83C795QF chipset) SMC9332 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter (10baseT and DB9 connectors) Also received the latest beta driver kit (executables only) for the SMC9332 on floppy. I have been promised documentation for the twin-channel EISA card as well, supposedly should be available in 1-2 weeks. The first three documentation kits listed above are loose stapled and I can fax them anywhere in the US or Canada. The DEC document is bound. I will cover shipping expenses to and from any developer who wants to take on the task of either writing or updating SMC drivers. I would like the cards returned when done so I can send them on to other free operating system device-driver developers (when you're done you can ship them to me with a COD for the shipping if you like). Regretfully I do not have any other hardware to offer at this time. When the twin-channel EISA docs are in, I can send on my personal adapter if SMC does not provide one. If you are interested in documentation from other vendors who have been too slow or uncooperative, please give them to me and I will go beat the shit out of them until they provide docs.

If you want executable code, look into either FreeBSD or NetBSD groups, both have done a large amount of work to turn the raw product into a runnable system. Obviously, I'm biased, I like FreeBSD, but you could also ask the folks at NetBSD.org about their product.

I edited my configuration file (GATEKEEPER) and added the following: options AUDIO_PAS options AUDIO_SB options "AUDIO_YM3812" device snd3 at isa? port 0x388 irq 12 drq 7 vector pasintr device snd2 at isa? port 0x220 irq 7 drq 1 vecotr sbintr device snd1 at isa? port 0x38a Then I attempted a compile, and got the error that "gus_write8" was not defined... After a little investigating, the modules sound_timer.c references gus_write8 (which requires gus_wave.c and gus_hw.h minimally) in order to be able to do an indirected OUT to the timer control port -- even though sound_timer.c is for both the GUS and the PAS, it's hardwired to use GUS... Looks like a problem, since even if I were to include the GUS driver (which I really don't want to do), the gus_write8 will reference the base io address of the GUS... not the PAS... Suggestions??? Also, sound.doc is adequate to get one started, but a little more documentation on install sound drivers would be a plus... and maybe a FAQ... and what about test files? //---------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Roger L Soles // PO Box 280785 // San Francisco, CA 94124-0785 From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Mar 10 02:32:08 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id CAA13224 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 10 Mar 1995 02:32:08 -0800 Received: from mail.euronet.nl (mail.euronet.nl [193.67.112.150]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id CAA13218 for ; Fri, 10 Mar 1995 02:32:03 -0800 Received: from p20.euronet.nl (p20.euronet.nl [193.67.112.180]) by mail.euronet.nl (8.6.4.1/A/UX 3.1) with SMTP id LAA20029 for ; Fri, 10 Mar 1995 11:31:55 +0100 Date: Fri, 10 Mar 1995 11:31:55 +0100 Message-Id: <199503101031.LAA20029@mail.euronet.nl> X-Sender: jg@mail.euronet.nl Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: questions@FreeBSD.org From: jg@euronet.nl (Jan_Guldemond) Subject: Installing (/stand/newfs failed) X-Mailer: Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I'm trying to install FreeBSD to another machine.

Duke Kamstra and Robin Lodi are the people who went to bat and persuaded the legal dept to release the stuff (and then sent it to me).

Everything works fine it appears except for at least one configured device. At boot the system recognizes comports as sio0 detected with IRQ 4 # the correct IRQ for COM 1 sio1 detected with IRQ 3 # the correct IRQ for COM 2 Or something to that effect. Anyway, no entries for either device are found in /dev. I'm trying to start X. The problem I have is that the device is not configured. That is true obviously since there is no special file for either com port. I do use the mouse on COM1 under Windows 3.1. If this is not a bug then: Do these need to be made explicitly? I did not install /src. I believe major/minor numbers are out there but... I also get an error when trying to mount the CD-ROM drive. (FreeBSD 2.0 on CD) mount /dev/cd0a /mnt returns the error Can't mount /dev/cd0a on /mnt: ??Invalid or Illegal?? super block What might be the problem here?

This means that (a) the kernel was configured to recognize those two devices ( actually serial I/O chips ), and (b) the devices (chips) were there when it went looking. "Anyway, no entries for either device are found in /dev. ... If this is not a bug, then: Do these need to be made explicitly ?" Yup. I've noticed stuff missing from /dev, too. This is part and parcel of sys administration, however ... both the procedural approach to diagnosis and the willingness to correct it. ( Plus a coherent description of the problem, the workaround(s), and suggested solution(s) to the responsible engineers. ) Reading /dev/MAKEDEV is an educational experience. It's a shellscript. A full knowledge and understanding of /dev, MAKEDEV, mknod(8) and major and minor device numbers is probably one of the prerequisites to understanding Un*x, and thus, well worth the investment in time and effort, IMHO. "I also get an error when trying to mount the CD-ROM drive. mount /dev/cd0a /mnt returns the error Can't mount /dev/cd0a on /mnt: ??Invalid or Illegal?? super block What might be the problem here?" You need to explicitly tell the operating system that it is a CDROM drive with the '-t' ( for 'type' flag ). See the man page for mount(8).

It went from an air hammer simulation to making the proper expected noises. The volume can be controlled via a mixer app. The snd-files (mentioned in the i386/isa/sound README file) contain a couple of mixer apps that do seem to work in that regard. You have to get those files from a linux site. I think the overall volume is not set to max. I've been playing with the mike with a sound blaster and managed to get it to read. Mike volume is set to 0, so you have to use the mixer to bring it up. I don't know what the DOS setup program is doing exactly, but it has to assume a certain port #, and then it sets the irq, drq, and a few other things. Presumably this could be done from the UNIX side too. If you don't have dos, you can always make a dos boot floppy... but the gus install may insist you have a C: hard disk.

After doing a shutdown -r, on reboot the system gives me an "Invalid disklabel on sd2" (or something like that). Fsck then fails with an unexpected consistancy (naturally). I can work around this by immediately rewriting the disklabel, and fscking the filesystem on that disk. I can then bring the system up to multi-user. This happens every time I shut down - but only on sd2. sd0, sd1, and sd3 never have any problems, and I have no other problems with that disk. sd2 contains only a single ufs filesystem, no swap and no filesystems for other operating systems.

What you need is a modem that uses a constant DTE-to-DCE speed but can autobaud the DCE-DCE speed. Use whatever command/dip switch/incantion is necessary to get your modem to do that and save that as its reset state. You should also have your modem hangup and reset when DTR goes from on-to-off. Have it use RTS/CTS or no flow control at all. And have it assert carrier detect only when it really detects a carrier. And in /etc/ttys, specify the constant DTE-DCE bps rate.

I figured the Future Domain/NEC TMNEC1610 scsi controller would work, but when I tried installing FreeBSD, it didn't recognize the card, or obviously the hardware. The card is on IRQ 11, at port 160. The /kernel -c option didn't work either. The kernel was recognizing my SoundBlaster (since it is still there), and no other controller card. I tried disabling the SoundBlaster, and though it was disabled, it still didn't work. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time!

What is on the floppy, if you want to read a DOS floppy, you need to get the mtools utilities or use the mount -t msdos command to read it. For mtools, like the mdir command, you can use normally "mdir a:". To mount a DOS-floppy it is "mount -r -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt". Then you can do a "cd /mnt" and ls or cp or something like that, ATS ( ats@first.gmd.de or ats@cs.tu-berlin.de ) Andreas Schulz GMD-FIRST 12489 Berlin-Adlershof Rudower Chaussee 5 Gebaeude 13.7 Tel: +49-30-6392-1856/+49-177-2134745 Germany/Europe From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Mar 11 05:33:44 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id FAA06349 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 11 Mar 1995 05:33:44 -0800 Received: from prosun.first.gmd.de (prosun.first.gmd.de [192.35.150.136]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with SMTP id FAA06337 for ; Sat, 11 Mar 1995 05:33:40 -0800 Received: from g386bsd.first.gmd.de by prosun.first.gmd.de (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA08068; Sat, 11 Mar 95 14:32:41 +0100 Received: by g386bsd.first.gmd.de (OAA26804); Sat, 11 Mar 1995 14:34:39 +0100 From: Andreas Schulz Message-Id: <199503111334.OAA26804@g386bsd.first.gmd.de> Subject: Re: Swap errors and majordomo To: frank@jplpio.jpl.nasa.gov (Frank O'Donnell) Date: Sat, 11 Mar 1995 14:34:38 +0059 (MET) Cc: questions@FreeBSD.org In-Reply-To: <199503110121.RAA07727@jplpio.jpl.nasa.gov> from "Frank O'Donnell" at Mar 10, 95 05:21:45 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 1173 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > majordomo.

Here's what you do ( as "root" ) : (1) copy installation files manpages.aa -> manpages.xx into /usr/tmp or other large filesystem workspace. (2) copy additional files CKSUMS and *.sh files into the aforementioned workspace. (3) run the shell program to unpack it : # cd /usr/tmp # sh ./extract.sh (4) tar the result into place ( this changes according to the package and should probably be documented ) : # cd /usr/tmp # tar cf - ./man | ( cd /usr/share ; tar xvf - ) ( This uses the location of "manpages" as an example, and should not be used as an absolute for all packages. ) This is based on having tried the menu-driven interface and giving up and falling back on something I probably read in the 1.1.5.1 FAQs, when I was wrangling with X. ( Still am. :-) A caveat : I seem to recall there being a variable called DESTDIR that was mentioned in some documentation somewhere, that can be set to place the installation where you want it. Reading the file extract.sh is recommended. In general, it might not hurt to (a) keep the FAQs online, in /usr/local/FAQ, and (b) use this 'data base' to search for selected keywords, IE, % find /usr/local/FAQ -type f -exec grep '*keyword*' {} \; ... ... -print |& more This is neat because each time you do it you discover more possible keywords. In general, this is a very good way to get a handle on problems, and can be regarded as a kind of primitive hypertext, complementing the man pages' "-k" flag. ( Don't expect the man pages to answer all the questions, BTW. It has a few blind spots. Don't be afraid to do an "ls /usr/share/man/*/*keyword*". ) -- richard Pontius Pilate was politically correct.

This will put you in an editor that will let you change BSD's idea of where the SCSI controller should be. Once installed this way, you will have to boot the same way each time or eventually rebuild your kernel. I would suggest you move the Soundblaster's MIDI to some place other than 330 and put your Adaptec back to it's factory defaults. This would take the least effort on your part.

You might remember some of the brouhaha that Novell raised with UC Berkeley over the 4.4 BSD release, last year? Well, as part of the settlement, Walnut Creek, which runs FreeBSD.cdrom.com (and does it free for us as a service to the FreeBSD community!) is not allowed to distribute versions of FreeBSD that were derived from the original 4.4BSD release, as 1.1.5.1 was. The fully blessed release, known as 4.4 BSD-Lite, is the basis for the new generations of FreeBSD, beginning at version 2.0, is available at FreeBSD.cdrom.com. There are lots of sites around that still have copies of the 1.1.5.1 release...I think world.std.com is one. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 7608 Topton St. | New Carrollton, MD 20784 | I run Journey2 (Freebsd 2.0) and n3lxx (301) 459-2316 | (FreeBSD 1.1.5.1) and am I happy! ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Mar 11 17:56:18 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id RAA02801 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 11 Mar 1995 17:56:18 -0800 Received: from glueserv1.umd.edu (glueserv1.umd.edu [129.2.70.69]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id RAA02795 for ; Sat, 11 Mar 1995 17:56:17 -0800 Received: from mocha.eng.umd.edu (mocha.eng.umd.edu [129.2.98.16]) by glueserv1.umd.edu (8.6.10/8.6.4) with ESMTP id UAA13229; Sat, 11 Mar 1995 20:56:14 -0500 Received: (chuckr@localhost) by mocha.eng.umd.edu (8.6.10/8.6.4) id UAA28457; Sat, 11 Mar 1995 20:56:14 -0500 Date: Sat, 11 Mar 1995 20:56:14 -0500 (EST) From: Chuck Robey To: Michael Caughey cc: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: Floppy Drives In-Reply-To: <199503120006.TAA16455@larry.infi.net> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Sat, 11 Mar 1995, Michael Caughey wrote: > How can I access my floppy drive in freeBSD? You want to become friends with the mount command, and the various devices in the /dev directory that can control your floppy drives. The filesystem type for dos is 'msdos'. Read the mount man page, and remember, you have to be su'd to root to get them to work. My machine has a 3 1/2" drive at the B drive....to mount a 144K floppy in that drive, I issue the command 'mount -t msdos /dev/fd1.1440 /mnt' on my system. I have an empty directory /mnt there just to facilitate miscellaneous mounts. After that command, I can access the floppy by using standard Unix commands to the /mnt directory.

It exists only for compatibility reasons. /etc/master.passwd contains the real info, but is only used to rebuild the binary database. So use vipw to edit the password file.
