Subject: Installations problems
Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org

I have attempted to install FreeBSD 2.0 from the Walnut Creek CD - (the one
with the January 1994 label although I understand the code is much more
recent than that) - with mixed success.
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'.
Thank you
Chris B.

If I remember corectly the output for the XFree installation was sent to

NetBSD hsa a great program called newsyslog.
Most useful for rotating log files and is very configurable regarding
the rotation time or based on file size and compression types of old files.
Will it be making it into the FreeBSD distribution? It would be nice.

I was told there's something wrong with the checksums on the CD. I think
I worked around it with the following sequence:
mkdir /cdrom
mount_cd9600 /dev/cd0a /cdrom
cd /cdrom/XFree86-3.1
./extract.sh

I'm not either. 8-) I still haven't finished configuring XFree86 8-(, as
I am learning more about administration first.

Hi i was browsing your section on the web, i'm interested in running unix on
a dual pentium as a server and am looking for the cheapest way...
FreeBSD looks great ..but does it support a dual processor?? i didnt' read
anything about dual processors in your page ..mind you i just went throught
the technical notes and not all the FAQs ..
if you could mail me any relevent information that would be great
thanks..

Subject: Serial anomalies
Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk
I have 486dx50 here at work I have configured to be a modem pool.
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.

I can't find any src in the kernel for vaopen?

Well, I fixed my mouse problem of yesterday (Sorry, it was a silly question!),
and got X up and running... kind of.
It'll come up, I'll see the famous background and X pointer but then my hard
drive will make a dramatic shutting down noise and will stop. 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?!?!
I have a Gateway 2000 386, 12MB of RAM, a WD controller for the floppy and hard
drive (where I have my boot partition, root, and swap), and an Adaptec 1542CF
driving a Toshiba 3401B and Fujitsu 2694 hard drive.
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...)
Any suggestions, tips, advice would be greatly appreciated.

I would have thought that an ftp session would be network bound,
rather than CPU bound. If I were to try and do a couple of raytraced
images, then I would want all the CPU power I can get (read afford :)

Help,
I've been trying to install FreeBSD2.0 950210 SNAP this weekend with
several problems. 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

Thanks to all of you who replied to my last email about FBSD booting...
I duly got the kerndist, changed the sources (in /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot)
and re compiled... I knew it was going far to easily...
So I got a new disk out of a box and... did the following...
|o| fdformat -q -f 1440 fd0
|o| fdisk -i /dev/fd0.1440
|o| disklabel -R fd0 ~/fd1440.prototype
|o| disklabel -B fd0 fd1440
I got back the error "Bootstrap doesn't leave room for disk label."
Can anyone send me the definitive script of how to format a disk and add the
various system boot blocks ?
Any help appreciated...
Regards,
James V.

There are many problems that need a lot more than two pentium cpus. The
stuff I'm working on will need at least 8 and probably 16 cpus to even begin
to be feasible in terms of time. 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.

I am having trouble with the installation of FreeBSD 2.0 for Intel-based
PCs. 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. Thank you..

I have modified the initial printcap file by changing the :lp=lp to

Hello!
Last week I tried to install FreeBSD on HP Netserver with EISA AIC7770
driver. 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.
Piotr Bolek

Hello Dears.
I'm trying to install FreeBSD-2.0-950210-SNAP on DELL
OMNIPLEX 590 with two EISA/PCI and three EISA slots,
but my 3Com 3C579 card was not recongnized. The dmesg says
1 3C5x9 board(s) on EISA found at 0x2000
epprobe: interrupt number 32768 doesn't match
ep0 not found at 0x2000
In my configuration file, I put
device ep0 at isa? port 0x2000 net irq 15 vector epintr,
since the card was inserted in slot 2, and I set its
irq 15 by using EISA configuration set up utility.
Any help would be appreciated.
Sincerely.

Hello,
I have broken portmap but can't see how.
I was customizing the SYSTEM_NAME config file and I have now noticed that
portmap gives the following error on boot-up and dies.
portmap[844]: svc_run: - select failed: Invalid argument
portmap: uid 1: exited on signal 6
portmap[844]: run_svc returned unexpectedly
I took out NFS as I don't use it but putting it back has not changed anything.
What could it be a result of?
Regards,
Jake Dias

I've gotten a lot of questions concerning Wine and FreeBSD 2.0R from by last post so
I guess a general post is in order (but no answers on the sigaltstack question :-).
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.

While we're at it, although I didn't run into that problem... I've
discovered that qpopper2.1.3 is not implement the XTND XMIT command - or
at least, I don't seem to be able to get it to work...
Could be the pop3 client on the PC - but, has anyone else had problems
with this?

Hello all!
I have a spare EtherEZ, new 16-bit, supposedly snazzy 'plug-and-play'
compatible ethernet card that I would like to use for an installation
of FreeBSD_2.1. If it matters, it says 'SCO compatible' on the box, and the
main processor chips has '83C795QF P<cr> C9436<cr> 6M59986-6' on it. And
the order number on the side of the box is 'SMC8416BT'. Is this card
supported in any way? My suspicion is no, but I thought I should
check anyway. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Could you help me?
I have "HP PC LAN Adapter/16 TP Plus (HP27247B)" (Port 300, Int 9).
This card is working with NetWare. But FreeBSD-2.0 understands one
how: "LP0: TCP/IP capable Interface". (?!)
Does FreeBSD work with this card?
I can see also "inet->851<UP,POINTTOPOINT,RUNNING,SIMPLEX>".
Here is no ping to FreeBSD. In other hand, I am using FTP under
Windows'95 without problem; and DNS works properly.
Thanks.

Also, make sure your modem can autoanswer, asserts carrier detect when
it actually detects a carrier instead of asserting it all the time,
hangs up and resets itself on an on-to-off DTR transition, and uses a
constant bps rate between itself and the computer while adjusting the
bps rate between itself and the remote modem as necessary.

The current ed driver (if_ed.c) does check for that card, so it should work.

Hiya,
I know this is an FAQ, but I haven't been following it recently. Will 2.1
support a CD-ROM that uses a SoundBlaster as the controller card? I've got
a Mitsumi FX-001.

I am so pleased with the easy-to-find info on how to install FreeBSD.
"EASY for experts and novices alike" It was very inclusive and detailed.
The step-by-step instalation features were the best I've ever seen. I am so
pleased. I read the doc on how to install it and BAM I was up and running.
By now you should have figured out that this is blatent sarcasm. I
looked for three days for the install documentations and found NONE. I have
read 10 pages of SHIT and still don't have a single command on how to set
up FreeBSD on ANY SYSTEM!!!! This is the worst case I have seen so far.
All of the files to install are scattered through the FTP site and there
is no DOC on how to collect them and which ones were manditory. I tried your
WWW sites, your info@freebsd.org service, your FTP docs, your FAQs, your
manual pages, etc. It seems to be a national secret or something.
Please send me the top-secret info on how to install FreeBSD 2.0. I can keep a
secret.

Actually, I'm following the advice of your web page and directing a
less-web related question here. 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...

Hi, does one have to do something special in order to make run
properly 'tcpdump'?
I realized I can display just the packets for my PC but,
if I try with other host it doesn't work.
I though it was because I didn't have support for the promiscuous mode
for my ethercard driver, but that is supported.
====== work!

Both pax & merlot are in the same sub-net that pci3.

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.

I agree; the documentation that comes with V2.0 is extremely thorough and
complete. The installation program also makes things much nicer. My
congratulations to the distribution team!

Hmmmm.... 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... :{)

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".
Just a suggestion.

I agree. :{) :{) :{)

for Jeffery Hsu. He said to E-Mail here if I have any questions. I have the
system running but don't know how to start the network. The ed0 driver is
loaded and seems to be running since It shows the boards network address. It
fails running netstart with:
add net 224.0.0.0 : gateway mwcltd5: network is unreachable.
I don't know where the 224 came from. I have a small network, my hosts file
is

In the FreeBSD.FAQ, section 2.7, a reference is made to the PS/2 style
mouse and to use the psm0 device. The reference states to look in the
/sys/doc/options.doc for more info.
My problem is I have done a FULL install and this doc is no where to be
found. Can you lead me down the right path or provide more details on
using the PS/2(keyboard) mouse

Hello,
I'm running FreeBSD 2.0, and I would like to:
1) Read DOS text files from the /dev/fd0a
(the A: drive).
2) Similarly, I would like to copy UNIX
text files to a diskette, and be able
to read them in DOS.
Any information you could provide would be

While you're at it, can you let me know how well BSD supports 1. Adaptec
2842 VL-Bus adapters (I had a hell of a time getting it running with Linux,
finally did, your hardware files list the 2842 but say it was just
translated from Linux-- not sure which translation, not sure it will work-
do you know who might know or who I should contact?) 2. Conner's CAM
(like IDE) standard support? Thanks much, don't mean to be a pest, but
I've had troubles with Linux dropping Ethernet cards all the time, having
some load problems, and if BSD circumvents these, I'm there... So, by the
bye, is BSD pretty good with listed Ethernet cards???

I don't think that either script is capable of determining when
``nothing seems to be wrong''. For some of them, you are better off
doing a visual comparison...

FreeBSD has never officially supported encrypted TELNET. However, the
bug was present in the ``secure'' distribution's TELNET code, and has
been corrected.

Well, since you just flamed the install system instead of
explaining what your problem is, I can only make general
suggestions
First, I'm going to assume you bought the CDROM from walnut
creek, since that is the only install I've done.. :^)
Next, read the INSTALL on the cdrom with your favorite dos text
reader, (or print it out) and follow the directions.. 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.

I've added the INSTALL document to the tutorials tree (and to the What's

to get a system up and running to a complete newbie.
I know it's not html'ized, but it helps to have *something* there :)
The URL is:

The What's New page can be found at:

The machine this came from was: netcom20.netcom.com
Read your FreeBSD hompage, faq, etc. Has every answer, but
the most basic one:
How do I install FreeBSD?
I read something about making some floppies on the ftp site,
but they don't include the program that is used to create
the floppies. Are those floppies bootable? Do I need to have
a machine with DOS on it, or could one just install FreeBSD
from those floppies? What you need to put up is a step-by-step
guide.

Hi Mike,
First, let me congratulate you on your intense understanding on human
nature. 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.

There are at least two ways.
1) use the mtools package.
2) mount the disk as a dos partition
mount_msdos /dev/fd0a /mnt
cd mnt
vi file
...etc.
umount /mnt when done.
the mtools package should be available on ftp.freebsd.org. It has been before.

I'm trying to NFS mount directory from a Sun SPARCStation 10 and am
getting the following error from the SPARC:
NFS request from unprivileged port.
nfs_server: weak authentication, source IP address=132.239.145.14
I'm not sure as to what I'm doing wrong. On the FreeBSD 2.0 machine, I
have the following entry in /etc/fstab:
osiris:/home/osiris /home/osiris nfs rw 0 0
On the SPARC, I have the following in /etc/exports:
/home/osiris -access=oba:oba.ucsd.edu:lms.ucsd.edu:surya.ucsd.edu:mathtech.ucsd.edu:utu.ucsd.edu:ilanga.ucsd.edu:zorn.ucsd.edu
zorn.ucsd.edu is the FreeBSD 2.0 box. zorn.ucsd.edu is in the /etc/hosts
file. I get permission denied for any user on zorn when they try to
access /home/osiris. The uid's between server and client match. I've
also tried changing it so the exports file contained:
/home/osiris -access=zorn.ucsd.edu,root=zorn.ucsd.edu
and it didn't work. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Henry

I wrote the aic7xxx based support for FreeBSD, and it currently supports
the 274x, 284x, and sorta the 294x cards. 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?)
If it doesn't work, drop me a line. I would suggest trying the latest
snapshot boot disk on your machine to see how it goes:
ftp.cdrom.com://pub/FreeBSD/2.0-950210-SNAP/floppies/boot.flp.gz

Yeah, me too! I was amazed at how easy it could be to set up a unix system on
my PC. I mean, I was all set to tackle a Real Struggle(tm). Imagine my surprise

Oh, Boy, this is starting to look like bait. I mean, this looks a LOT like

Uhh, hhhhh, hhhhh, umm, BEVIS?
Mandatory docs? EH? I don't know how you could consider a doc mandatory. Maybe
you know more than me. Docs that I needed you would not. I found the
installation to be straightforward enough. I would have been upset if I had
downloaded a zillion useless 'mandatory' docs and not needed them.

If you want help then you should post messages that describe your problem in a
little bit more detail, and in a manner that makes people want to help.
Postings like this do nothing but make you look severely immature and do little
to solicit help.

Hello
If you type:
mount_nfs -P osiris:/home/osiris /home/osiris
it will work. I don't know what is the corresponding /etc/fstab
entry. I have the same problem mounting or exporting filesystems between
SunOS/Solaris and FreeBSD2.x but it works fine between FreeBSD and
AIX and FreeBSD/FreeBSD machines.

You know, with this sudden talk of installation, it'd be nice if some
future release of the FreeBSD CD-ROM could include a floppy so that
users could do the install without needing to have access to MS-DOS at
all.
This isn't pivotal, but it would help with our image maintenance.
While we come up with slogans like ``Windows NT---from the makers of
EDLIN,'' Microsoft employees can retort with ``FreeBSD---made possible
with MS-DOS.''

Welcome to FreeBSD 2.0, the complete 4.4 BSD Lite based OS for Intel (or
compatible) based PCs.
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! ---------------------------+

You can move the arrow keys up and down to highlight the various options,
selecting an option by hitting return when its line is highlighted. 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:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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'<return>. 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:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 <Entire FreeBSD slice>
d 0 4108599 4108600 2006 unused <Entire Disk>
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 <Entire FreeBSD slice>
d 0 4108599 4108600 2006 unused <Entire Disk>
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 <Entire FreeBSD slice>
d 0 4108599 4108600 2006 unused <Entire Disk>
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 <Tab> 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!

The Mitsumi drivers have been in freebsd since at least 2.0. if you
mean the Matusitia (whatever)/ Panasonic type CDROM, I'm using it with
FreeBSD-current (works great).
I would assume that both (mcd and matcd) will appear in FreeBSD-2.1R

Hello All!!!
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...

March 6th 1995, 23:00 freefall time.
Cyberspace, 3rd door on the right.
Hello World,
We had a minor accident on march 6th 17:24 (freefall time) and lost all of
the mailing lists. These have now, march 6th 23:00 (freefall time) been
restored from the backup from this morning march 6th 05:30 (freefall time).
This means:
1) any mail sent to any list @freebsd.org between 17:24 and 23:00 is
lost, and must be retransmitted (if it was significant)
2) any changes to the lists during today was lost. You can send an
an email to "majordomo@freebsd.org" with a body of one line saying
"which"
or
"which my@address.com"
and it will tell you what lists you are on.
3) our backups work! :-)
I would like to stress that there is no evidence or reason to suspect
malicious intent or activities. I guess we can all use more sleep.
I havn't heard the story yet, but I'm sure given time and opportunity,
we will have a good laugh about it, (unless it's a bug in a perl script :)
At least i expect somebody to pay me a beer some time... <-- HINT!
I would like to thank Satoshi, for noticing and warning me about it,
and Gary for the backup which saved us, Thanks guys!
PS:
freefall time is mostly UTC-0800.

Subject: Crash of XFree with #9 GXE 64
Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org

Hello!
I'm a problem with my #9 GXE 64 (1MB RAM / VLB) and XFree86 3.1 and
3.1.1! After a time I'm not able to specify (a few minutes up to
several days/weeks) the server breaks down and shows vertical bars on
the screen. After this the whole machine seems to hang. I remember some
mails other people talking about the same problem, but nobody can help.
Is there anybody with the same effects and do you solve it? Is it
perhaps a hardware problem (waitstaits/1MB ram only)? Or a problem
between the X11R5 libs and the X11R6 server I'm using? Did FreeBSD >2.0
solve the problem?
Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks a lot
Lars

As I said several days ago:

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...

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. Thanks a lot and thanks
for writing such a great OS!

Hello Jeff,
Just read your response to Mr. Perrys' (comments?) regarding FreeBSD
installation and wanted to say -- BRAVO and THANKS! You expressed my
feelings exactly!
Normally I don't get involed in flame contests on the net. Don't have
the time for it. But in this case, I agree completely with you. The
FreeBSD Team deserves our thanks an gratitude for producing a fine
product. I've received answers to any question I've ever asked about,
usually from a FreeBSD Team Member. In fact, I'd even go so far as to
say I get BETTER support via the net for FreeBSD than I get from other
(unamed) software venders we have paid for support.
Keep up the good work, FreeBSD team!

Hello All!!!
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...
Duane

I just wanted to express my thanks as well. When I saw the original flame

It depends on what you mean by a communications port. 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.

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.

First set up your modem and calling units correctly, and if the
problems persist, repost this particular question to the questions
list so a PPP guru can help you out. 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.

I recently installed a pioneer changer on my system. I used /dev/MAKEDEV
to create 6 new cdrom nodes. All the CDs appear to mount fine, but my
system becomes extremely unstable and dies very shortly after they've
been mounted. Sometime I get a Supervisor error, others the system just
dies and then resets. Is there something special I need to do for a CD
changer? Didn't see anything in the FAQs.

I had some errors that I fixed by commenting out a section of the code.
Put "/* */" around the PS_* lines (1077 I think) and of course, around the
#endif to make it complete. Then, you'll get a bunch of errors in map.c.
Put "#include <db.h>" at the start of that file and everything else should
compile fine.
Good luck,

There are/were known cache writeback problems with the UMC chipset.
In theory, these are repairable using CMOS settings. I believe the
interesting setting had to do with write-through vs. write-back. I
thought this had been fixed in software and foolishly discarded the
information (well, put it on tape some place -- I never delete anything
I once found interesting, really).
If you could try this with your board and, if it fixed the problem,
document it for others, you would be well loved.

I have a small BSD network of 3 machines. I'd rather not run NIS for now.
I thought I could get by by syncing master.passwd files on each machine
and rebuilding the database. However, it seems that the passwd encryption
differs on each BSD machine as Pws don't work on the machines I export
the master.passwd file too. Is this true or is something screwy? They are
all running the same version of BSD.
Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Your CMOS claims that there is only 639k.
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".

Hello,
I have downloaded the 2.0-950210-SNAP floppies for support of my
Adaptec AHA-2940 controller, this seems to work OK if I have the sync
rate wound down to 5Mb/s (thanks for the pointers). Unfortunately
the Install program on these expects the binaries directory on the CD
to be called "bin" but on my (recent) CD has it called bindist. Is
there any work-around to this or patch than can be made to the
install on the SNAP floppy?
Thanks,
Tim.

I believe that routed has a bug that causes it delete routes
incorrectly. Check the info on ftp://ref.tfs.com

My apologies if this is a FAQ, but does anyone know of any POP mail
clients? Something like Eudora that runs under FreeBSD? I think I could
roll my own but would rather not if I don't have to. An X-based pgm would
be nice but anything that will contact my provider's POP server and
download the mail would be fine.
Thanks

Which version of FreeBSD? Have you installed securedist? I've done
this before with 1.1.5.1+securedist with no problems.

I guess the CD that you have is 2.0R. 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...

I just got FreeBSD installed on my system. Now, I found a book called "BSD
4.4-Lite CD-ROM Companion" which has all the documentation for using the
system. There's just one little problem, how in the world do I see my
CD-ROM drive? The book says to enter the command "mount -r -t cd9660
/dev/sd1a /cdrom" if your CD-ROM is on SCSI unit 1. My CD-ROM is on SCSI
unit 5, how do I access that? I tried to type in the command as shown and I
got an "invalid device" command.
I use /dev/cd0a for the cdrom device. Thus:
mkdir /cdrom # if you haven't done so already
mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0a /cdrom
Also, how do I access my floppy drives and (most importantly, so I can do a
backup) my Tape Drive (HP DAT drive)??? (I have a Bernoulli too!)

I added a line to my config file: tape ft0 drive 2

I have only a single floppy drive on the machine....
Any help would be appreciated. Please don't tell me to upgrade to
2.0, as I want to wait for at least 2.1 to arrive and stabilize
before doing that upgrade.
Don't worry -- it doesn't work in 2.0 either. )-:
I'm in much the similar situation (the tape drive is newer, and I'm
running 2.0, but about the same otherwise other differences). I've
tried all the things you've tried, and more:
* I bought another floppy disk drive to see if that would make the
problem go away. No luck -- but I know where you might be able to
get a good deal on a 5 1/4" floppy.... (-:
* I'm spelunked in the kernel. I can tell you right now that
you can't use unit 1 for the tape drive, at least in the 2.0
release -- the code foolishly assumes that, if the unit number is
less than 2, it's gotta be a disk drive (at least, that's my
interpretation). I've tried changing that assumption, and other
fiddling, to no avail.
* The closest I've gotten is by turning on the low-level debugging
code in the floppy driver -- by doing that, I can get the kernel
probe to acknowledge that the tape drive is there (question: do
you see a mention of "ft0" when the machine boots up?). However,
under those circumstance, I always would get an I/O error when
actually trying to access the tape drive, and would eventually get
a panic-less reboot. My guess is that this slows down the machine
enough that the tape drive has an opportunity to respond to the
probe, and I don't know what's happening to the actual I/O
accesses.
My solution? I'm going to order a SCSI controller and a SCSI tape
drive. )-: I haven't gotten any useful responses from this mailing
list, and I really don't have the time (or knowledge, probably), to go
fooling around with the floppy driver while my data sits unbacked-up.
Maybe I'll hang on to the tape drive anyhow, just in case I'm feeling
exceptionally masochistic.

If you have a disk controller that has an onboard bios you can get this
message. I was getting it at some point when trying to use the Promise
2300 Plus controller I just got. I think I got it when I booted the
install floppy, because before I disabled the onboard controller bios
the FreeBSD partition wouldn't boot at all.
It was kind of weird. The install floppy booted ok and started installing
the base system, but when it came time to reboot during the install, it
refused to boot and I had to go back to using my old controller. I
figured out yesterday that I could disable the controller's onboard bios.
Now my new controller works fine, using the system bios.

Subject: LAN Configuration
Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk
Hi,
I recently installed FreeBSD 2.0 on a 486 66mhz machine with the following
hardware:
Adaptec 1542 SCSI controller,
Toshiba 3x CDROM (SCSI),
Python 4mm tape (SCSI),
540 mb IDE disk,
3COM 3C509 ethernet
The installation went smoothly and everything appears to work fine except
the LAN. 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.
If you receive more than one copy of this, I apologize, Eudora doesn't like
my typing much.

IRQ2 is IRQ9 on every PC clone since the AT. IRQ2 is used to cascade the

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!!!!!

More problems. One of my machines refuses to boot. Even in

Forget about multi-user mode. I'm getting errors like 'no ld.so' and
'failure reading ld.so'. How can I get this fixed? I've tryed the install
floppies, but they want to wipe out the HDs. Surely there's got to be a
way to boot from floppy and let me grab an ld.so from one of the other
machines on the net. What a frustrating night this has been. 2 pents that
were working fine, now are useless bookends till I can get passwords and
now this solved... Sigh... Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I have two questions regarding FreeBSD:
(1) Drivers
I would like to use a Nakamichi NBR7 seven disk cd-changed running a SCSI-2
interface on my BSD machine. Is this possible. If so which driver do I compile
in
(2) Next SNAP-SHOT
When do you expect the next SNAP-SHOT to be released? The current one, when I
compile it, won't boot, complaining about some sort of numeric co-processor
problem of some sort.
For the record, I am using a 486DX-280 with 16meg of RAM
Please reply to robin@ptnsct.nis.za
Thanks for a great O-S!

This is an integration of the tcp_wrapper code and inetd.
You can get the TCP_wrapper code from ftp.cert.org.
I thought this was already a port?

There is a changer driver in the current sources for the Phillips...
it looks like you can test compatability with the Nakamichi. 8-).

one solution is xinetd available from mystique.cs.colorado.edu.
xinetd supports both no_access (hosts.deny) and only_from (hosts.allow)
access controls. access controls can be applied on a service by service
basis.

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?

Help,
I can't install 2.0 950210 SNAP. I keep getting chksum errors from
the install program. When i drop out of install and do "do_cksums"
it gives the error unexpected ending, expected "fi". Can someone please
help? Also when i'm disklabeling the drive the DOS partition keeps
showing up on the "e" part rather than "h". Is it okay to leave it
here and put /usr on "f"??
Thanks for any suggestions!
Ron

Hello
I've booted the boot.flp from 2.0-950210-SNAP but it seems
there is no ethernet devices configured on the kernel, I have
also booted with -c and listed the configured devices but no ed*
or other ether devices seems to be present. Is this right? Is there
another boot floppies with ether support somewhere? May use the
boot floppy from 2.0-R with the cpio floppy from 2.0-950210-SNAP to
overcome this? I'll use ftp to do the install.

Linux's tcpd wasn't made for Linux. It is actually the TCP Wrapper
package. It is available for FreeBSD too.

Once you format your HD, it installs a different kernel that has
ethernet drivers on it.

Is there a library with inb, outb and outw done as C functions? mdos
the DOS server for MACH, which runs with LITES, thinks I have them.
If not, I'll write the functions.

I am trying to setup a mail server for a local area network which
consists one one Server and a few workstations. They are all running
BSD 1.1.5.1. Only the Server is on all the time. When people send
mail from workstations, their address will have the address of the
workstation. When people try to reply the mail sent from workstation
, if the workstation is not on at the time of delivery. Then the mail
can not be deliveried. I am wondering how can I setup the mail system
on the workstation are run in remote mode( I have already add OR in the
sendmail.cf file, but it does not seem to work. Also I add a entry in
/etc/hosts to tell the workstation that the mailhost is the Server).
Please help me to make it work correctly. Thanks.

You can do one of two things:
1) Have all of the clients "masquerade" as the server. This means that the
reply-to field of outgoing mail points to the server, and not the client
that sent it.
2) Setup MX records for the clients pointing to the server.
Both of these topics should be addressed in the sendmail docs.

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.
Could you please tell me if there is anything wrong in setup them
this way?
If it's possible, can you also tell me more about setup MX records or
tell me where to get a good documentation about sendmail.
Thanks.

You hit it on the head. This is exactly what happened. I thought for sure
securedist was installed after I upgraded to FreeBSD. I reinstalled a
clean BSD system on a different machine, but left securedist out. copied
master.passwd from the non-working system to the different machine and
all the pws worked! Now how the heck can I convert the MD5 stuff to DES?
I thought I was on DES to begin with. :(

Please help me , I have questions for FlexFAX and UUCP.
(1) For FlexFAX , faxaddmodem execution.
Install finished, and at faxaddmodem, there is a ERROR.
Cannot create fifo "/var/spool/fax/FIFO.tty00".
File "/var/spool/fax/FIFO.tty00" is not created .
so I search the shell 'faxaddmodem' and I executed below,
# mkfifo /var/spool/fax/FIFO.tty00
mkfifo: /var/spool/fax/FIFO.tty00 : Operation not supported.
FreeBSD version is 1.1.5.1. FlexFAX version is v2.2.2pl1.
I made kernel configuration at "option FIFO" and modem setting completed
normally .
Please tell me what to do.

The best documentation is the O'reily book on Sendmail. About MX records,
you should pick up a book on named and bind since MX records are handled
via DNS. As far as how to configure sendmail, I just use the documentation
in the source tree. Poke around the FreeBSD source tree (availible via
FTP from ftp.cdrom.com all layed out so you can easily browse it). In the
cf directory of sendmail, there is a good readme that will talk about
masquerading and other features that might have changed since the book
you have on sendmail was published.

Hi All..
I am trying to find a way to gzip a directory tree whilst
still keeping the files in that directory tree intact so when I
gunzip them, I get an exact copy of what I had formerly,
in the same tree...
Like you can in pkzip etc..
I can make it so it puts it all in one file, but it doesnt separate
it into is directories and files.. Its just a lump of files!
I am running FreeBSD 1.1.5.1
Please reply direct as I am not a member of the list..
Thank YOU!!

Subject: sound woes
Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk
I have a GUS 3.4 with 1 meg of ram which is very unhappy. 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?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I want to provide some of our customers with a Dialup SLIP-acocunt (or PPP).
I have two modems connected to my system. I am able to let them login (with
/etc/ttys file). They must provide a login and password. Everything works
fine. But how do I tell the FreeBSD machine that it must run slip over that
connection. I've tried slattach but it says: 'open (/dev/cuaa1) fd=-1:
Device busy'.
Does anyone know how to enable people to dialup and get a SLIP (or
PPP)-connection. But they have to provide a username and password for security.

Hi,
When shutting down the FreeBSD-machine I get:
*** syncing disks... done
***
*** The operating system has halted.
*** Please press any key to reboot.
But... sometimes after syncing disks... I get three numbers. What do these mean?
But.. more serious.. sometimes the system hangs just after the messages:
*** host halt: halted by root (3 times)
*** host: syslogd: exiting on signal 15 (also 3 times)
I do not get the message about syncing disks. When I turn the power off and
on the filesystems are clean, so the shutting down is performed (isn't it?).
But does someone know why the system hangs (sometimes).

Older versions of 2.x didn't switch console VT's to ttyv0 so you wouldn't
see the messages printed by the kernel. Could this be it?

Hi,
are there any drivers out for any active/passiv ISDN cards for
FreeBSD ? If so where can I get them ?
Another question is: Is it possible to get a TCP/IP connection
through my ISDN card with BSD. The background is that I want
to connect to a Internet Provider via ISDN.
What is necessary to get a TCP/IP connection to my provider with
my ISDN card.
I haven't bought a ISDN card yet therefore I am open for
recommedations.
Help needed !
Thanks in advance
Hannes

I have about 6 machines on my private little ethernet.
I was ftp'ing some stuff between a 486DX2/66 running BSD/OS 1.1
with an SMC WD8013EPC and a P5/90 running FreeBSD 2.1.0-Development
with a DEC PCI Ethernet card. Each file was about 240K and I was
seeing around 50 to 100K per second transfers.
Every 5 or 10 files the ethernet would be wedged. None of the
machines on my net could talk to any of the others.
I found that turning of a third machine, 486DX2/66 running
FreeBSD 2.1.0-Development with a SMC Ultra Elite, allowed the transfers
between the 1st two machines to proceed without incident.
I haven't exhaustively tested this, but thought I'd check if anyone
else had run into something similar.
Thanks for any help.

You must tar the files first. Instead of using gzip directly, use
gtar with the compress option. It's a little confusing for someone
coming from a DOS environment, but it gives you more flexibility.

Subject: AT&T Starlan NAU Problem
Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk
I'm having problems trying to use an AT&T StarLan 10 NAU (ie0) on the
February 10th snapshot of FreeBSD 2.0. 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?
Thanks,

Subject: Installation Configuration

To any one with answers:
Ok, I finally got around to actually loading in FreeBSD. 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.

Did you check the TX, RX and Col lights before turing it off? I've
seen some stations go into a broadcast storm that brings the TX and Col

I am using FreeBSD 1.1.5.1R and found the same problem with the proxyarp
option. However I found that the above fix did not work for me. After
a little experimentation I found that by changing line 480 from:
mask = ((struct sockaddr_in *) &ifr->ifr_addr)->sin_addr.s_addr;
to:
mask = ((struct sockaddr_in *) &(ifreq.ifr_addr))->sin_addr.s_addr;
did the trick. I suspect this is of academic interest only.

au files. If I initialized the card with DOS, the volume was even loud.
I tried the ultrasnd whatnow3.mod and it sounded great but there where
"computer pops and cracks" interspersed with the music. Volume control
worked.
Tried playmidi but got a sequencer error. Must not be built right for that.
On the whole, the driver works must better for me than ever but not perfect.
The new xanim with sound even worked on the build prior, but I haven't
tried it on this build.
There is hope for the future.

Hello,
I've tried several times over the last week to install FreeBSD2.0
950210 SNAP and can't get it to install. When i try via the install
program it keeps telling me cksum error check media. Well i've FTP'd
the bindist several time and tried with both floppy and hard disk
partition. When i tried via floppy the install program coppied all
the files to /usr/tmp. I have dropped to the prompt and tried running
the shell scripts there and got a "unexpected end fi expected" error
on the do_cksum script. And the system refuses to even recognise
the extract script. This is the third time i've asked this question,
doesn't anyone have any idea what's going on?
Thank for ANY help
Ron

is the wedge permanent or take about a minute or so to clear?
do you have a thin net (10Base-2)? if so, pull on each connector on both
ends of all the wires to see if one is loose or has a bad ground. also
make sure you have at least half a meter of wire between the last tee and
the terminator.
to check for a bad ethercard, run tcpdump from the pentium. if you see a
broadcast storm coming from one machine that may explain the problem.

Hi,
I got 2.0's kernel reconfigured for Logitech's
3 button busmouse(model P7) with mse0(irq 12).
and modified XF86Config file accordingly(Logitech
and /dev/mse0). X3.1 starts up fine but the mouse
pointer seems to have found its favorite spot and
would not move. When I get out of X with
Ctrl-Alt-Bksp, I see the following message:
Waring: unable to get status of mouse fd(Operation
not supported by device)
I didn't run MAKEDEV against mse0 initially because
the file was already there. I did it anyway and still no
response!!
I think I am lost in the clue forest. This question must
have been asked over and over but I am new at this.
Could someone kindly tell me what I missed?
Many thanks!
Jae

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.

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.

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.

Nice work, gang. sorry to bother you with mundane questions like this:
Running FreeBSD 1.0, accessing on a dial-up port at 38400. gettytab entry
for std.38400 normally sends 7E1, I added :np: and now it seems to work
at 8N1 (this seems to have no effect on the ZMODEM protocol, but had to
try it) for login, etc. Yet when I run SZ, I get many CRC errors/retransmits.
ZMODEM (using Procomm on DOS/PC) to other machines works fine (including
SparcStation 10/UNIX). Suggestions?
WOrking on bringing up 2.0, but press of business keeps it offline, as yet.

I just set up a FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 system, and everything seems to work fine
from the console. When I try to telnet in, I get a login prompt, and then
after I issue my password, the screen freezes before the motd can come on.
Similarly in ftp, I can login, but when it tries to open the connection for
/bin/ls everything freezes. The connection seems to be open, and a lastlog
shows me as still logged in, but it is dead in the water...
I checked file permissions, and I CAN telnet in or ftp in from the console.
Just no remote machines...
I'm stumped.

I posted this a while back but it did not raise any interest.
>From get_ether_addr() in sys-bsd.c, line 666. 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.
Also, the mask obtained in line 690 is not the netmask. It is the
interface address. On my system, all three sockaddr structs in
the ifreq struct had the same address, the interface address.
Am I missing something here?
666:/*

*/
ifend = (struct ifreq *) (ifc.ifc_buf + ifc.ifc_len);

ina = ((struct sockaddr_in *) &ifr->ifr_addr)->sin_addr.s_addr;
strncpy(ifreq.ifr_name, ifr->ifr_name, sizeof(ifreq.ifr_name));

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).

I have a GUS MAX that I've been trying to get to work with no success
for the past few generations of the sound driver. This may be because
my machine can't run DOS (and therefore Gravis' DOS initialization
program). If it is to be of use to me, I need the card to work
without requiring DOS. 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?

It's telling you how many unsaved buffers are left after each sync(),

I got stuck on boot once, hanging on the GUS. That is when I pulled out
the dos init prog. They say Dos init isn't required anymore but I don't
quite believe it, yet.

Hi all,
Could someone answer those questions? 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!
Ching

This is commonly done in the Unix universe by the use of the 'tar'
facility. 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 <gzipped archive name> | 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.

You can try using a smaller frame size, i.e.
sz -l 768 file.dat
sz -l 512 file.dat
sz -l 256 file.dat
You might just be overflowing what your hardware/software combo can handle.
I have to use 768 here. Maybe we need to take a look at the FAS serial
driver and what we need to do to make it fly under FreeBSD.
Good Luck,

Mr. Jordan K. Hubbard,
Thank you for your recommandation above. 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.
Thank you so much,
Xiaoyin Li

I have some Cabletron monitors. The TX and CP (col) lights were not

Here is my /etc/printcap file
------------------------------------------------------------
# @(#)printcap 5.3 (Berkeley) 6/30/90
deskjet|lp|hp|local line printer:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0n:sd=/var/spool/lp:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
:pw#80:pl#64:sb:sh:\

:pw#80:pl#64:sb:sh:\
:if=/usr/libexec/lpr/ps2dj:\
:mx#0:sf:
------------------------------------------------------------
The first entry is for text printing. The filter just converts LF into
CR+LF. Now that I don't have DOS any more I could modify the printer's
jumpers but I'm too lazy :-)
The /dev/lpt0n -- which I recreate by hand -- is for stopping the driver of
resetting the printer each time... The minor is 16.
crw-rw---- 1 root wheel 16, 0 Feb 4 17:31 /dev/lpt0
crw-rw---- 1 root wheel 16, 16 Mar 9 22:19 /dev/lpt0n
I'm afraid I don't have the source of lpf2 anymore but it should not be too
difficult to recreate :
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 24576 Dec 31 1992 /usr/libexec/lpr/lpf2*
It is a 386BSD executable :-)
The second entry is for PS printing. Just specify "lpr -Pps something".
The "source" for ps2dj follows too.
------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/gs -q -sDEVICE=djet500 -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=- -
------------------------------------------------------------
You just have to replace the printer name in the script to suit your own
model.
I could -- and should -- use Klemmer's package which by far better than
that but the principle "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" just suits me.

Tom (and lsteele@netcom.com),
I never could could any timing information to stabilize the driver.
Neither creative labs nor panasonic would give any info.
On the other hand frank durda at lonestar.org did manage
to get a driver together for the SB16 which will work with a
SBpro. This is the matcd device in current and works well for me,
hats off to Frank.

It is in the current code as of last week somewhere. It is called matcd
The creative cdrom's are acutally matsushita (in the US) or panasonic (in

This mornings kernel was the first time in a long time I even attempted
to configure for my GUS 3.4. The audio works fine, but dsp output is
garbled. I was able to hang the machine after trying some .wav files
through nas. It's definitely a step in the right direction. I didn't
even have to init the card from DOS!

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.
Cheers.

I have spent a fair bit of time partitioning and repartitioning my 2G scsi
drive to house both dos and FreeBSD (2.0). So far I haven't been able
to keep both happy. I am using an adaptec 1542CF controller and booting
FreeBSD of a 240 meg IDE drive. If i turn off geometry remapping on the
scsi card frebsd is happy but dos is not, and vice versa. I've read
all I could get my hands on but havent been able to figure this out. I
really dont want to keep switching the geometry remapping parameter on
the scsi card as well as the geometry written on the drive every time I boot.
Any suggestions?
Q2: Any way to recover files after a 'newfs'? (my money is on the NO response)
btw, great product, much thanks. Sure have come a long way since 386BSD 0.0

Here is a WIERD one:
>From the command console xman refuses to work. I can start xman and open
a man page but I am unable to select any of the menu options. The menu
will drop but I have no selection bar.
It does not matter where the xman comes from. If I pipe the window over
FROM another machine I still have the same problem. If I pipe the xman
over TO another machine; it works fine.
Other X applications with drop menus appear to work fine.
I have had one user complain that the mouse will occasionally "jump"
around the screen but have never seen this myself.
Has anyone else had this type of problem?

Very sorry about that! I don't know how it happend, but your message of
Feb 8 got lost in my mailbox - I just read it for the first time a few minutes
ago (I have over 8000 messages sitting in my inbox). Yes! I'm interested in
all of this stuff. There are a number of complaints about these cards not
working correctly that I would like to look into, but haven't been able to
due to lack of documentation and hardware.

No sweat. Shipping address please. I will make copies of the docs before
sending them out so I can send them to others as well. This means I'll ship
early next week.

I have a Iomega 250 QIC-80 compat. tape drive that is not working with
FreeBSD. I have used it under DOS and before under Linux (with ftape)
and it worked good. I put the line in my kernel config and I am using
ft, but it is not working..
I always get the error "/dev/rft0: Operation not supported by device"
When I boot up I get these lines from the floppy drive (if it helps)
fdc0 at 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa
fdc0: [0: fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in]
If anyone has any ideas what it could be, I'd appreciate it!

4.4BSD-Lite is 4.4BSD with certain "things" removed. These "things" were
part of small legal problem.
FreeBSD2.0 is 4.4BSD-Lite with those "things" replaced and many many other
changes.

This disk holds the code that the CSRG group from Berkeley released to
guide folks in building new versions of the BSD flavor of unix. It's not
executable code, and don't expect any of it to compile. Consider it,
instead, a set of guides to researchers (like FreeBSD'ers) to read, so
that they can construct working BSD upgrades to the 4.4 level. 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. In either case, its an all
volunteer effort, the code is not sold, it's freely available (check the
copyrights in the files) and it's of surprisingly good quality!

This reminds me. I FAXed a request to SMC a few weeks ago to get
documentation (actually they called it a software developer's kit,
though I don't know what was to be in the kit) for my SMC 82M32C
EISA ethernet adapter but haven't received anything yet. Do you
know how long I should expect to have to wait, or the name and
number of someone at SMC that I could call about it? (I have this
sinking feeling that my FAX may have gotten lost.)

I have to add terminals in the kernal again, but i need the command
that adds them (pty's?) to the /dev list..
Someone told me and where I wrote it down and stuck it to the wall.
But unfourtunately, I lost it in an office move...
I quite sure it went something like:
MAKEDEV {1,2,3,4}
but only being quite sure means im not all the way sure!!
Any clues?
Thanks a million...

I had a little free time last night, so I decided to get my
PAS16 working with FreeBSD Current...
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?

Hi,
I'm trying to install FreeBSD to another machine. I already have a 486DX2-66
running FreeBSD. But I'm installing FreeBSD on a second machine:
* P66
* 32Mb
* 2Gb (HP harddisk), SCSI
* 400Mb (HP harddisk), SCSI for swapspace
When installing I have created the FreeBSD Slices (one on both drives). And
have made the partitions:
2Gb disk (disk 0):
a - 42Mb - /
e - 990Mb - /usr
f - 700Mb - /usr/home/ftp
g - 300Mb - /usr/home/webmaster
400Mb disk (disk 1):
b - 400Mb - swap
But when the instalation continues and tries to make the new file systems I
get: "Exec(/stand/newfs) failed, code=7936."
When switching screen, I see:
Debug <10>
Debug <10>
Progress <newfs /dev/rsd0a>
Warning: 384 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated
/dev/rsd0a: 86016 sectors in 96 cylinders of 15 tracks, 60 sectors
42.0MB in 6 cyl groups (16 c/g, 7.03MB/g, 1728 i/g)
super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at:
32, 14496, 28960, 43424, 57888, 72352,
cg 0: bad magic number
I've even tried to run fdisk from MS-DOS first. Created a small partitions
(42MB) for a DOS-volume and tried again: Same result. With the previous
machine this helped....

It is MAKEDEV pty0 for the first 16 pseudo ttys for FreeBSD 2.0. In -current
this makes the first 32 pseudo ttys.
For the next 16 or 32 it is MAKEDEV pty1 etc...

I suspect you are using FreeBSD 2.0 ? This has some slight problems with disks
larger than 1Gb. Try to get the bootfloppies from the 950210-SNAP and use
them for the installation. They should work.

I am missing the line ft0: xxxxx. Does this show up after the floppy
lines above ? Can you copy the next two lines of output and send a mail
with that ?
If it only shows the above lines, then the floppy streamer is not even
found. So either the new kernel is not working correctly or the address
jumpers are set differently. Do you have only one 1.44Mb floppy and no
1.2Mb floppy ?

After asking the name and directory of the NFS server, the installation
procedure asks you about specific mount options you want to use, and it
says that if you are getting that "weak authentication" error from
Sun machines, you may want to use "-o respvc" or something like that
(look at the message displayed by the install procedure, I don't recall
exactly the option).

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).
I have been asking them for the EISA specs for some time and the PCI
and EtherEZ were the first that they came up with. I'm hopeful that
the EISA stuff will be forthcoming. The specs I was asking for were
the 8033W twin-channel EISA card. I'll ask them about the 82M32C as
well.

I've installed FreeBSD 2.0 on a 486- 66MHZ with 528MB disk space
and 8MB RAM. 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?
Thanks,
Eric Solberg

From previous post about the 3c509b, I understood it's just a 3c509 +
a bigger buffer, thus the driver should work the same than for the 3c509
(yet with a bigger buffer one can expect a better performance).

Eric Solberg <exs@sperry.mhs.compuserve.com> inquires :
"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."
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). ( Calls to 'mount'
with '-t' flag map into invocations of separate mount_'type' program, FYI. )

... Second ( third, fourth ? :-) the congratulations, on a job well done ...

I've got a Micron 486PCI with a PS/2 mouse, running a FreeBSD-2.0 snapshot
from mid-January, and I've seen this problem. It's most noticable when I'm
using tgif and selecting objects, but I've seen it on other occasions too.

I read somewhere in the FreeBSD 2.0 documentation that there was no FAQ
for setting up tip(1). Is this still true ?
I've set up tip(1) and it's working great. Writing a short FAQ would be
no problem if this document has not yet been created by another.
Wonder if it's OK to modify the tip(1) code to become a little smarter,
or if UCB would be annoyed ? ( Assuming it's the former - pretty sure. )

I'm looking for expert help on setting on internal modems for dialup, if
there's anyone out there who'd care to volunteer to answer a few questions.
( Already have a well-worn copy of Nutshell 'Administering UUCP' thanks. )
Having some problems getting the outgoing login prompt to be issued at the
right baud rate ... wonder if having a modem directly connected to the buss
instead of accessed through a UART might not confuse things ... ?

For what it's worth, I was having problems with a GUS card
simply because I set the drq to 1 -- problems cleared up with
the drq set to 6, a 16-bit port. 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.

Ive seen something like this before. Make sure your terminal emulator is
using 8N1(8 bits, No parity, 1 stop bit). If you are using a 7N1 or
some-such, you will get a login and a password but then it will hang
there--much as you've described. Hope it helps.

I've been having an annoying problem on shutdown for awhile..
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. It was partitioned and
disklabeled in a similar manner to sd3 - using the whole disk, with the
ufs filesystem starting at offset 1.
Any ideas on what might be happening here? Am I suffering from brain
damage?
The disktab entry is as follows:

This was what I expected as well, but there were some reports of it not

I recently submitted my revised FAQ entry (incorporating Jordan's
comments) for the serial communications section which includes help on
tip. But, don't let that stop you from submitting any documentation!
It'd be nice if there was a manual, written in a tutorial style and
not the question style of a FAQ, that users could print out or could
get with the CD-ROM.

Well, you could certainly modify your own copy.
Moreover, a call-unit definition that users could specify in their
/etc/remote file would certianly go over. That's what I'm planning on
submitting: a smarter dialer for today's popular Hayes-compatible
modems.

See the serial communications section of the FAQ---as soon as it's
incorporated!

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. For example:
ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" dialup on insecure

Is there a home for a FAQ for installing FreeBSD?
To include
1.) How to recomplie the kernel?
2.) What Devices are used for what hardware,
for instance i found out via the grape vine
that ep0 works with a 3c509 3COM card. I have
a printer I need to get installed, and a com port
to be reconized.
3.) How do I set up new users?
4.) How do I change exsisting users groups?
I could drop questions here all day, but I would rather not become a pest.
I'm sure I'll have tons of questions as I'm a newbie to UNIX and I have to
connect this PC to the Internet as a gateway.

Here is a related question:
Is the situation below normal:
In X11R6 if I logon to console, open a few xterms, su to root, and enter the
reboot command, the system reboots, but comes back up saying that the system
was improperly dismounted.
However, if I logged out of X11R6 (so I see the login screen with the
console), and then switched to VT1, logged in as root, and then enter the
reboot command, the system reboots fine with no message about the system
being improperly dismounted.

My system is:
486 (100 Mhz)
12 Megs RAM
540 Megs (split between FreeBSD & DOS)
130 Megs (split between FreeBSD & DOS)
FreeBSD (snap release)
Virtual memory is on the 130 Meg drive (32 Meg Swap File)
And is this normal:?
I'm receiving a file via ftp to the 130 Meg Drive (MSDOS partition). At
the same time, I do a copying job to the 130 Meg Drive DOS partition from
the 540 , i.e. cp file /msdosd/.
Now everything seems to be okay at this point, but if I open an xterm
and cd to the DOS partition of the 130 Meg Drive and do a ls, the whole
system hangs. Although I can move the mouse around and try to open
another xterm with fvwm, no xterms ever get opened. I can't kill any
jobs either. The access lights on both hard disks are off.
Any ideas?
Is FreeBSD supposed to support some kind of an unlimited simultaneous
disk access?

I can run NICSETUP and push the card to 64K mode. Reboot the machine and
such and still find the card in 64K mode. However, when I start FreeBSD
le0 comes back in 2K mode.
Sure enough. When I next run NICSETUP I am back in 2K mode...???!!!
Has anyone seen this one before???
After doing a search for Etherworks on the FreeBSD web site I noticed a
lot of discussion on Etherworks with se0 NOT le0. Could this be it? If
so, why is my card being set back to it's default values?
Thanks

I have a brand new Pentium box that I am trying to install FreeBSD
(2.0-950210-SNAP) on. I ran through the floppy installation and am
stuck trying to install the distributions. I can't get the 3C509 COMBO
card to really talk to the network (10baseT). FreeBSD seems to think
that it is talking and it looks like it knows where it is (Address 300
IRQ 10). But the hub never indicates any activity (the LINK light is
on, though).
I also cannot ping to/from the machine.
Any ideas?

Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org

We are running FreeBSD 2.0 on a 386/25 with 8 MB RAM and
a 400-MB hard disk; the filesystem is set up with a 25-MB
root partition, 25-MB swap and 350-MB /usr.
We're getting a lot of swap-related errors while running
majordomo. Frequently these appear on the console as
"Swap_pager: out of space"; after sevral of these in rapid
succession, a "Process 12345 killed by vm_fault: out of
swap."
I'd hoped that 25 MB would be ample for swap (being a good
bit more than 2 x amount of RAM). Do we need to set an
environmental variable to save tmp files on /usr or something?
Or is there another way out of this?
Thanks for any help. Oh also, with the recent creation of
the freebsd newsgroups, is there a consensus on the best place
to post questions like this?

You don't find a /dev/tty00 or /dev/tty01? If not then clearly you
won't be able to access the serial ports. Take a look at the file
/dev/MAKEDEV. This is the main script that drives the creation of the
device special files. You can simply cd /dev and do something like the
following:
sh ./MAKEDEV tty00
I have to confess it's been a while since i did tty00 so if you take a
quick look at this script you should see the section for creating tty*
type devices. Follow the instructions at that point.
Oh yea, if you haven't realize this yet:
COM1 ==> /dev/tty00
COM2 ==> /dev/tty01
> If this is not a bug then:
It isn't in so much as failure to have these files will do this. However,
they are always created when the system gets installed. So, I'm a bit
baffled as to why you don't have them.

In your case I guess the answer is yes... via the MAKEDEV script.

Yea, CD-ROM's are in 9660 format not UFS filesystems. You need to
mount this using either:
V1.1.5.1:
mount -t isofs /dev/cd0a /cdrom
V2.0+:
mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0a /cdrom

is a serial IO device on COM2 at the right address, why can't I access it?
2) Why, when I boot the system, do I keep getting errors
related to a network, when I'm using a standalone machine?
3) Am I going to have to write my own terminal program, to get
a SL/IP connection going?
4) I feel as if I have just fallen into an ocean, but don't
know how to swim... Everything I look at seems to be 'hooked
into' everything else. Is there a starting point to unravel
this tangled web of interconnected relationships? I have
looked in the /etc/rc file, which indicates that there is some
information in the /etc/networks file, which refers to ... Argh!
5) I understand about the man pages. Why, for example, is there a man page
for "]", but the command: "man ]" produces a vehement denial
that such a page exists?
6) How do I access my floppy drives? There seems to be tons of devices in
the /dev directory which seem to refer to my floppy drive, why can't I
change to it and read a floppy disk?

You must use the "link2" flag in your /etc/hostname.ep0 if you use the
10baseT or aui port. Mine looks like:
128.32.42.147 netmask 0xffffff00 link2

I was recently poking around on the Microsoft FTP server.
They have a more advanced "plug-n-play spec that you could actually
code to.
I also found a commercial utility that's about 18k (from I don't
know who) called "identify" that can probe the bejesus out of IDE
drives (going so far as to spit out manufacture dates).

Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk
In order to run FreeBSD, I went out and bought a SCSI controller card for my
system (up until now I have been using the BIOS-less SoundBlaster SCSI-II)--I
have a Seagate 1.2G and the NEC 3x. 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!

Please Help me set up FreeBSD 4.0 to use 3COM 509 Ethernet Card
I can not get my little FreeBSD system to talk (or even ping)
the other UNIX machines on our network (SCO unix running TCP/IP).
And they can not ping me.
Do I need a entry in /dev for ep0? If so, what type (b/c) and
major and minor?
System is a 386 with 8 meg RAM and 210 meg IDE drive.
20 meg DOS partition, rest for FreeBSD.
Ethernet Card is a 509 with a single TP jack (No BNC or AUI).
When booted under DOS and using James River ICETCP the 509 works
just fine.
While booting FreeBSD the 509 is recognized as ep0. However, the
message looks something like (aui/tp)(*UTP*). Does this mean
it sees my card okay, or that it is confused and can not recognize
a card with just a TP jack?
Any light you can shed would be much appreciated. Tom Stevelt

Add a line to the file /etc/remote:
modem2:dv=/dev/cua01:br#57600:pa=none
Add a line or uncomment the line in /etc/rc.serial:
modem 1
Reboot, and then try a "tip modem2" and see if you see the lights on the
modem, if it is an external, and if the modem responds to "ati" commands.
You may need to use a different baud rate above instead of the 57600.
Read the manual pages for "tip" "remote" and "sio" for some of the
important things :-).

Difficult to answer whats wrong here. Look at the beginning of
/etc/netstart and change the lines to not start up the network daemons.

No, you can use either tip or kermit or seyon with x-windows to set up
the SL/IP connection. Also chat and slattach are another possibility.

You mean the "[" man page :-). Difficult to explain. You are typing
that in a shell and the "[' is already special to the shell, so you need
to escape it with a "\[", but the man command also calls somewhere internally
a shell, so you need to type really a "man \\[" to get the man page :-).

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,

Look how many sendmails are created from majordomo. I am sure
you can control that in either some majordomo setup files or

I suspect that your mailing list gets exploded at once and it
spawns twenty or thirty or even more sendmails to deliver the
message and that kills the machine.
How much swap do you need depends on the work you will put on the
machine and not on the amount of ram you have :-).
The 2x swap is only an idea if you don't know what will actually
happens on the machine.
I have now on some machines a 60Mb swap space because a certain
compiler grows over 40Mb in his booting steps ( Sather ).
But i have also lived for days with a 5Mb swap space on a 32Mb RAM
machine, because i have forgotten to mount my second swap space and
all was running well :-).

When I do the following:

then I get:
cp: chown: /a/file.name: Invalid argument
panic: msdosfs_unlock: denode not locked
and of course my system reboots. (This is 2.0R and I am logged on as root.)
Cp works o.k. if I omit the -p but then of course the file copied to the
floppy has a new date/time of modification, not what I wanted.
What am I doing wrong? (I'm a UN*X and FreeBSD newbie, though not new to
computers.)
Isn't a panic a rather extreme reaction to an attempt to copy a file (even
if invalid)?

Subject: Re: installing additional packages
Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk
Jan Erik Backlund inquires :
"I installed the bindist and now want to install the manpages and who
knows what else. In the INSTALL guide, there is a reference to
/sbin/sysinstall. This file is not present on my system.
( I believe I saw a suggestion somewhere that, just before rebooting, at
the end of the installation, that one should preserve one's .profile in
the /root directory, as this .profile contains the functionality which
translates into the menu-driven "sysinstall" program. )
"Suggestions appreciated."
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*". )

It sees your card fine. You need to add the "link2" flag to
the ifconfig line in /etc/hostname.ep0 if you use the TP port.
Mine looks like:

If the new kernel doesn't boot correctly, you can then boot the old

Subject: POP clients... how to fetch my mail?
Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk
Hi. Well, I've just finished configuring everything for PPP (went very
well) and I can now send mail from my machine here at home. I'm still
not sure, though, how to *read* news sent to my PPP account (jbm@pic.net).
They're spooling it up and holding it for me to retrieve via POP,
apparently (the Windows software they sent out included Eudora)... I
found popper (qpop) in amongst the 2.0 packages, but that seems to be a
POP server... am I wrong in assuming that I need a POP *client*? If
you have experience with retrieving mail via POP on a FreeBSD box, I'd
love to hear how you're doing it.
Please forward responses to madison@netcom.com, as I won't really be
able to read any sent to my pic.net account until I get this worked
out :)
Thanks for the help!

Unmount the partition and check then the directory permissions for that
mount-point. This is most likely set false.

Hi,
When I try to to use 'restore', the kernel immediately panics with the
message "fatal trap 12". This problem never happened when I was using
FreeBSD 1.X. There is no problem with read/write using tar.
The following is the SW/HW configuration I'm using.
Kernel: FreeBSD 2.0 950210-SNAP (GENERIC)
CPU: 486DX2-50MHz (GATEWAY2000)
SCSI: AHA-1542B
Tape: EXABYTE 8205
Other Devices: Micropolis 2210 (1.0G)
Toshiba 3401B CD-ROM drive
SMC Elite 16 Ethernet Card
What I did when I did 'dump':
# dump 0uBf 2033646 /dev/rst0 /dev/sd0a
What I did when I used 'restore':
# restore tf /dev/rst0 (to list the contents)
or
# restore if /dev/rst0 (to resotre interactively)
Both restores make the machine panic right away. Is there any work
around?

Hello
I've just upgraded a 486 machine from 1.1.5 to SNAP, this PC
is conected to a Cabletron MT800 HUB, conected to thick cable. A token
ring network is also conected to this cable with an IBM 8209 bridge.
After the upgrade the PC is unable to see all machines on
the token-ring as it was under 1.1.5. Any idea? I need to mount
some filesystems that are on the ring.
Pedro

At the boot prompt, instead of hitting return or just waiting, type
/kernel -c.
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.

I have tried several different ways to install free BSD from the Walnut Creek
CD-ROM. My latest attempt is on a 500 M.B. partition on a 1.7 gig SCSI drive.
After I run Disklabel and Proceed to install, I get the following error
message: Exec(/stand/newfs)failed code=5888.
Also the DOS partition showed up on "g" instead of "h" as per the docs.
I have tried three different times to install BSD, and rebuilding my entire
disk is getting REAL old.
Any suggestions besides returning the disk for a refund???
Thanks,
Joe

This will probably seem like an extraordinarily obvious questions, but
nonetheless: In order to have a fully functional copy of FreeBSD R1.1.5.1,
which particular files do I need to FTP from FreeBSD.cdrom.com? I've been
trying for the last little while to find the right files to take, but have
failed miserably :-(
Any help you could give will be greatly appreciated!

That's probably due to the fact that the files aren't there to find in
the first place. 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.

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.
Don't forget the umount the drive when you finish!

Hello all,
In the past three weeks I have been installing 2.0R and MANY
ports! I was running Linux with the then latest kernel patch.
I have a 30M swap space and 8M of ram. I am having a problem
of running out of vm. Mostly while I am in X and have a few
processes running. Just now I had slip, netscape, 3 xterms, axe,
and clock active while ft was extracting. When directing netscape to
another page, it was killed bye running out of vm:-(
A vmstat right after produces:
procs memory page disks faults cpu
r b w avm fre flt re pi po fr sr f0 w0 w1 in sy cs us sy id
0 3 0 69924 68 30 3 4 2 34 273 0 0 151 550 84 56 21 9 70
Should that many process take up all of vm??? At boot up time
swap is "turned on", or at least the message says it is.
Is there something more I can do, besides buying more mem
at this time:-)
Thanks
Chris

I've scanned through my mail archives and the -current source tree, but I
haven't found (or missed?) how to configure in the VAT audio. I've found
LOTS of words that have VAT in them (e.g. private, conservative, etc.)
and many references to the VAT driver, but no information on how to
configure VAT audio into a kernel.
It looks like I need a "device vat" line, but what are the parameters?
How is the device used? Help????? Can anyone give a quick rundown on VAT
support in 2.1.0-development (aka -current)?? :{)
Thanks,
Mike

The only POP client I have seen is one for emacs rmail mode. I can send it

Per a previous message I added the /dev/cua02 device to my system. I am
still unable to get the pppd chat combination to work correclty on my
system. I was really appreciate any help on this problem.
I have a SupraFAXModem 288 connected to /dev/cua02. I have tried the
following:
#pppd /dev/cua02 57600 connect 'chat "ATDT9431198" "CONNECT"' and this
doesn't do anything to the modem. I have read through the pppd and chat
man pages and it hasn't really helped. I check in the new FAQ and it
does not include anything on pppd and chat.
Even some ideas on things to check would really be helpful.
Thanks.
Duane

It sounds like you have extended translation turned on for your controller,
but haven't told FreeBSD about it. In the install program, when you
Fdisk the drive, tell FreeBSD the translation your controller is useing.
It should be in the manual for your controller.

/etc/master.passwd contains the real info, but is only used to rebuild the
binary database. So use vipw to edit the password file. This will lock
all the necessary files, and do a proper rebuild of the databases after
editing.

1.1.5.1 isn't on freebsd.cdrom.com. Look on gatekeeper.dec.com in
/pub/BSD/FreeBSD
