Vidcontrol controls syscons, the programs appropriate for pcvt are: cursor(1),
loadfont(1), mcon(1) and scon(1) and some more.
Have a look at the man pages and everything should work!
Also, please have a look at all the examples and documentation in the
directories below /usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/Misc almost everything is explained
there ....

Root on the lan system is using tcsh, and your ppp-connected system isn't
in the DNS.
Fix one.

I have four stacked Sony cdroms on a "sony cdrom" card (proprietary)
The system is finding the card, and sets up /dev/scd0a great. How can I
configure the kernel to set up /dev/scd0b and the other drives. Is their a
flag to set up in the /kernel -c settings or something simular to that?
Jeff

I've read in the FAQ.3 about a required 'patch 1' from 'patchkit'
in order to get the compilation to work. I haven't seen the patchkit
at the ftp site ( wcarchive.cdrom.com )
Is it required for 2.0.5? I'm going for the GENERICISA kernel on a
486DX2-66
Thanks

----------------
Section 3. (Kernel Building and Maintenance)
....
To build a particular kernel (in this example, we use the GENERICISA
configuration file):
% cd /sys/i386/conf
% config GENERICISA
% cd /sys/compile/GENERICISA
% make depend
% make
You'll need patch 1 from the patchkit to get the compilation to work,
'cause the version file isn't correctly included in the Makefile.

Hi,
I have 3 scsi disks in my system. One of them is a IBM-spitfire, 1gb
fast-scsi-2, connected to my ahc-2940w.
When I try to dump(8) this disk it always fails, with a lot of
messages logged to the console (log/messages attached).
My other 2 scsi- and 3 ide-disks dump(8) with out problems!
"dd if=/dev/rsd1a of=/dev/null" and "iozone" run ok, while "tar cf
/dev/null /usr2" also fails, when the disk is close-to full.
Can anybody help me with this?
Regards
Henrik

Subject: Bootmanager help needed (FreeBSD/Win95)
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org
Precedence: bulk
Can anyone help me here (dual booting problem)
I got my system (ASUS P55TP4XE) from Rod Grimes, so I didn't have the joys of
configuring the boot manager myself.
I'm using 100% scsi (ASUS PCI-SC200 [NCR 53c810])
As stock, the NCR scsi bios finds,
0 DEC DSP3053LS (end of chain and active termination)
1 DEC DSP3053LS
Bootmanager displays:
F1: BSD
F5: disc2
Default: F1
<selecting F1 boots BSD OK>
<selecting F5 toggles to:>
F1: BSD
F5: disc1
Default: F5
<selecting F1 boot fails - which is CORRECT, no boot block on sd1>
----
So, fine upto this point ....
I decided I wanted to run Windoze 95, so I added a spare 240mb Quantum I had
knocking around. I installed Win95 on sd2 (removed 0 and 1 from the scsi chain
to do this)
I'd like to be able to selectively boot Win95 or FreeBSD (default)
The NCR scsi bios finds:
0 DEC DSP3053LS (end of chain and active termination)
1 DEC DSP3053LS
2 QUANTUM LP240S GM240S01X
Bootmanager displays:
F1: BSD
Default: F1
(nothing anymore for disc2 - anyone know why???)
<selecting F1 still boots BSD OK>
----
I'd assumed (valid?) that the boot manager would normally give me only
2 disc choices and (another assumption) these would be assigned to the first
2 active scsi id's - meaning I'd eventually have to swap id's between
sd2 (bootable Win95) with sd1 (non-bootable BSD /home) if I wanted to dual
boot Win95.
Shortcutting this I pulled sd1 off the chain (removed data and power),
the NCR bios the finds only 2 id's:
0 DEC DSP3053LS (end of chain and active termination)
2 QUANTUM LP240S GM240S01X
Bootmanager displays:
F1: BSD
F5: disc2
<selecting _either_ F1 or F5 __directly__ boots BSD from sd0 - no toggling
of discs takes place>
----
If I remove sd0 and sd1 off the scsi chain, Win95 boots by default - fairly
obvious.
Can anyone advise me on what I need to do to configure the boot manager
to dual boot FreeBSD and Win95.
Appreciate any help.
Sorry this was long, felt it was better to give all the details.
thanks
tony

Hi,
I am trying to get amanda to work on my FreeBSD system and am facing
some problems. I have set up an account called operator with all
.rhosts permission & so on. When I do amcheck I get the following
output :
-------------------------------------------------
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
/scr/amanda/holding_disk: 1109003 KB disk space available, that's plenty.
ERROR: /dev/nrst0: not an amanda tape.
(expecting a new tape)
NOTE: skipping tape-writeable test.
Server check took 5.151 seconds.
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
WARNING: m.cs.dartmouth.edu: selfcheck request timed out. Host down?
Client check: 1 hosts checked in 30.089 seconds, 1 problems found.
(brought to you by Amanda 2.2.6)
--------------------------------------------------
I am just trying to back up 1 machine which is both the Host & the
client. I donot understand why it is giving the "not an amanda tape"
error even though I have inserted a new DAT tape (or even the
selfcheck timed out stuff). I have an APS-HyperDAT whose specs I have
written up as
define tapetype Hyper-DAT {
comment "APS Hyper-DAT"
length 2000 mbytes
}
I don't have any idea about the other parameters of the tape except
that it is DDS & DDS-2 compatible & writes about 2 GB of data on a 90M
tape.
If I try to use amdump I get the following errors
--------------------------------------------------
<stuff deleted>
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
dumper: FATAL must be run setuid root to communicate correctly
m.cs.dartm sd0s1 lev 0 FAILED [no estimate or historical data]
<stuff deleted>
(brought to you by Amanda version 2.2.6)
-------------------------------------
Any Clues guys ?? All help will be much appreciated. Please email a
copy of your response directly to me at saurab@cs.dartmouth.edu.

As a side note, I just pulled the 2.1.0-951020-SNAP directory over
to ftp://ftp.io.org/pub/systems/freebsd/2.1.0-951020-SNAP, including
the boot, root and fixit floppies dated October 21.
ftp.io.org is a 486DX2/66 that was recently downgraded to 32 megs,
so I've lowered the limit on remote anonymous FTP logins to 30 at a
time (it also handles IRC server duty). There's normally 12 to 15 in
that user class. So if ftp.cdrom.com is full and you have a fast link
through UUNET Canada, then try ftp.io.org.

This is an old bug. It was fixed along with a slew of others that
crept in when the new routing code was added.
I was never bitten by this particular bug but various route cloning
bugs did bite me quite often on my router. I worked around it by
disabling route cloning.
In the function in_addroute() in netinet/in_rmx.c, comment out this
section of code.
/*
* For IP, all unicast non-host routes are automatically cloning.
*/
if(!(rt->rt_flags & (RTF_HOST | RTF_CLONING))) {
if(!IN_MULTICAST(ntohl(sin->sin_addr.s_addr))) {
rt->rt_flags |= RTF_PRCLONING;
}
}
An even better solution is to upgrade to 2.1.
If the system is panicing, it should also be saving a copy of the
running system in the swap space, if dumps are enabled, and you
have enough swap space, and /var/crash exists, and /var/crash has
enough space.
Are there any other arp* messages in the log? Do you see a "mb_map
full" message in the log?

I just installed FreeBSD 2.0.5 on a P133 wiht 64 megs RAM and a Adaptec
2940 PCI SCSI card. The install went great but when it rebooted it gave
me Default: F? and would not let me hit F1 like it did on other server I
installed FreeBSD on. How can I get pass this? Can I use the boot disk
and have it look on the scsi disk? In linux I could do a mount
root=/dev/sda1 to mount the kernel on SCSI disk 1. How would I do this in
freebsd?
Oh, I have tried to install this 3 times on thsi box and same thing.

I just installed the package. I admit that I am running X, but I can't see
why building HylaFAX would require X. None of the HylaFAX binaries that I

Hylafax requires ghostscript for processing the fax itself.
Ghostscript requires the X font stuff. Oh well. :-) The easiest
solution seems to be to run X as soon as I cough up another server.

You specified the wrong geometry for the disk when you installed. The
partitions on the disk aren't where they should be.
You _MUST_ specify geometry that matches the BIOS geometry as reported by
the controller, during the installation process. If you fail to do this,
the BIOS can't find the beginning of the BSD partition, and you will be
unable to boot.

Hi,
I've never tried to set up the mail server under FreeBSD 2.0.5. I would
like to have people mail to my domain name which is mycompany.com in /etc/hosts.
I tried sending mail from rjb@intac.com to rjb@mycompany.com. I got a message
back from sendmail saying there was a configuration problem and that the
message was looped back or something...
Are there any docs for configuring this correctly???

I recompiled the kernel, that succeeded without any errors. But the
comm ports /dev/cuaa2 & cuaa3 are still not available. I followed
some of the advice I found at the FreeBSD Web site, as well as
other sources. The config file already contained the "IO_COM?"
lines (as was suggested at the Web site) so I just left them in:
device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty irq 4 vector siointr
device sio1 at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3 vector siointr
device sio2 at isa? port "IO_COM3" tty irq 5 vector siointr
device sio3 at isa? port "IO_COM4" tty irq 9 vector siointr
Unfortunately, the reboot messages still displayed the unfound devices:
/kernel: sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa
/kernel: sio0: type 16450
/kernel: sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa
/kernel: sio1: type 16450
/kernel: sio2 not found at 0x3e8
/kernel: sio3 not found at 0x2e8
Are there any other recompiling fixes? Total hardware reconfiguration?
New hardware? Any suggestions?
Thanks,

What interrupts are your serial ports on? If they are sharing 3 and 4 with
your other serial ports, you'll have to move them.

Is there an easy way to install a new version of FreeBSD?
Can I install over the top, and save all the configuration files, DNS,
Users, cron changes, etc?

I'd suggest you don't waste any more time on this. It just plain does n=

work. As the Netscape README says:
NetBSD, FreeBSD:
We have been told (but have not verified) that the BSDI bina=

but
not FreeBSD 1.1.5.1.)
I did spend some time on this before deciding it wasn't worth the troubl=
e.
Switch to 2.0.5 or wait for 2.1. In the meantime, you'll have to make d=

with the emacs-style keybindings and redirect error output to /dev/null =

Hi,
I have tried a few different ways and have not managed to create a
FreeBSD rescue disk. How do I make a floppy disk that will have a file
system on it with a working mount and vi ? (One that doesn't even attempt
to boot from the harddrive)
This is really important and I'm sure there's many other people who'd
like to know :) I think so anyways
Thanks, (and sorry about me having a zillion questions)

I have been using a friends mouse for a while because when I first
installed FreeBSD it wouldnt find my bus mouse that came with the
machine. I havent seen any posts for a fix in that area so I ordered an
adapter to change my mouse to serial. I have been using X for a while
with the generic serial mouse and now my Microsoft bus mouse with a
serial adapter wont work. If you have any ideas please write back.
Curently I'm not subscribed to the lists so will you please write to the
address above. Thanks in advance.

Cc: lmcerpr@lmc.ericsson.se
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org

Hi,
Congratulations on a sensational product! It would even be
better if....I could get it to run on my system.
PLEASE HELP ME!!
I am facing the famous "Missing operating system" problem.
I tried installing FreeBSD 2.0.5 on my 486 PC, but it appears
that I cannot boot from the hard disk.
I MUST BE REAL CLOSE.
After reading every possible FAQ file on the problem, I must have
tried at least 10 installation/partition variations, so I call to you
as a last resort.
-----------------------
Before FreeBSD, in my very typical DOS/Windows PC setup,
I would boot DOS off my disk C: (170Mb IDE drive).
Then I bought a 1Gb IDE disk and split it into two partitions: 400Mb intended for FreeBSD
and 600Mb for DOS (defined as primary DOS). (I put the FBSD partition lower because of a note
I read somewhere about a possible problem with this.) NOTE: DOS sees this 600Mb partition
as drive D:.
Because my IDE CDROM isnt supported by FreeBSD 2.0.5,
I copied the DISTS files unto the D: disk (600Mb DOS partition).
Next I start the FreeBSD installation and instruct it as follows:
disk 0 (C:)
mounted as /cdisk
disk 1
400Mb FreeBSD partition split into /wds3a 50Mb / (root mountpoint)
/wds3b 30Mb swap
/wds3e 320Mb /usr
600Mb mounted as /ddisk
NOTE: I set the geometry of my drive according to the specification written on it
e.g. 2112/16/63. The root partition is set to be bootable ("A" appears in fdisk).
I perform a "Minimal" installation from Media="DOS partition" and it seems to succeed
with no error messages. NOTE: I choose the "Boot Manager" option.
When all is finished and I reboot, the boot manager prompts me for:
F1 DOS F5 disk 2
If I choose F1, DOS boots OK.
If I choose F5, I get "Missing operating system" and the system hangs.
-------------------------------
Variations:
At one point I got desperate. I tried installing with the "Standard MBR" instead of
with the Boot Manager. After the installation I rebooted and got the message
(something like) "NO ROM SYSTEM HALTED" with system hang.
I figured the MBR had been wiped out somehow.
I rebooted and reinstalled with the Boot Manager; this time DOS can boot on F1
but "Missing operating system" still appears when booting on disk 2.
-------------------------------
Now there are a few things I dont understand.
1) Where does the boot manager reside? On disk 0 (e.g. my 170Mb DOS C: drive)? Or on disk 1 (1Gb) ?
2) Why cant the boot manager boot from the 1Gb drive?
Must I make a small FreeBSD partition on disk C:?
3) What's the problem with the geometry? Initially, fdisk states "528/64/63"
and I have to change it to "2112/16/63" (when you add it up it's the same thing, no?).
What does the geometry have to do with boot ?
4) Two of my colleagues have FreeBSD but they have dedicated disks.
In my case I dont want to use the whole 1Gb drive just for FreeBSD.
Is it possible to get DOS and FreeBSD to co-exist on my disk?
-------------------------------
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR TIME AND COOPERATION!

Does anyone have any experience with this main board? When I bring up
the system, it runs for awhile, and then hangs, always with the disk
light on. The IDE and floppy adapter is set up as a local bus device,
and I haven't worked with VL local bus before, so I may be doing something
which would be obviously wrong to the more experienced integrator. I
have tried it with internal and external cache turned off and turbo
disabled, to no avail.

Hi:
I just installed FreBSD 2.0.5 from walnut creek. When i type
startx to enter the graphical interface, it starts me an ugly window
system wich i think is TWM or something like that. Is there a way to
install something that looks like open look? Are the files included on
the cd-rom? Sorry for my dumb question and thanks in advance.

you can ftp the packages for FVWM or OLVWM
FVMW:
Fvwm is a just another window manager for X11, which provides a simple virtual
desktop, a 3-D look for windows decorations, and shaped, color icons.
It can be configured to use far less memory than twm, or to give a very
good emulation of mwm. A nice button-bar can be used to provide
convenient access to frequently used functions or programs.
OLVWM:
Olvwm (OPEN LOOK virtual window manager) is an ICCCM compliant window manager
supplied for use with the XView toolkit. It is derived from olwm, the
OPEN LOOK window manager supplied with the XView release. This version of
olvwm is based on version 3 of the XView release.
enjoy!

I am running into an error I have never had before installing FreeBSD
2.0.5 on a new system. With the boot floppy
rawritten from the CD) the system probes all of the devices like it
should and then the screen goes blank except for a message "panic: panic
for historical reasons" and the system reboots. I have already tried
disabling all drivers except the absolutely essential ones. I can not go
back and read the device probing messages because the scroll-lock key
does not appear to work in this case.
The system is a Dell D/33 with a 486 DX4/100 Overdrive. Two hard-drives
and an aic SCSI card with a Sony CD-ROM drive. 24MB RAM. Hints anyone?

I keep getting errors saying I am out of swap space.
I have never got this message before. It says: "process ### killed by
vm_pageout, out of swap". I had a partition mounted for swap, at least I
thought I did. When I reboot it says: "swapon: /dev/wd0s1b not found".
Whenever this happens, it kills some of my most important processes such as
named, and telnetd. Any suggestions?

Subject: Troubles dumping SCSI-disk
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org
Precedence: bulk
I have 3 scsi disks in my system. One of them is a IBM-spitfire, 1gb
fast-scsi-2, connected to my ahc-2940w.
When I try to dump(8) this disk it always fails, with a lot of
messages logged to the console (log/messages attached).
My other 2 scsi- and 3 ide-disks dump(8) with out problems!
"dd if=/dev/rsd1a of=/dev/null" and "iozone" run ok, while "tar cf
/dev/null /usr2" also fails, when the disk is close-to full.
Can anybody help me with this?
I can't help, but I can verify another case, we had had exactly the same
problem with an ncr PCI controller and ibm 0662 (spittfire). I switched
the spittfire to a 4G hawk and the problem went away, so I have thought
that it could be a disk firmware problem. FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 with a BT SCSI
does not seem to have such trouble with spittfires, though.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org
Precedence: bulk
List:
I need a working sample of ftpaccess utilizing the guestgroup keyword. I'm
trying to configure wu-ftpd's ftpaccess config file. I'm a bit lost on how
I'm supposed to configure this file. Based on what I read in the man pages,
I need/want to implement the guestgroup stuff. What I want to do is this.
Say you have an account on my system. I give you restricted FTP access. I
want /ftp/userid to be your / directory.
I'm running the 951020-SNAP version. I've checked to make sure the
/etc/shells has the shells I'm assigning...it does. I have the group and
passwd files in /ftp/etc as well as ls in /ftp/bin, /etc/inetd.conf points
to the right ftpd for wu-ftpd. All that I have left is the ftpaccess that I
believe is my problem.
I've read the man pages, searched the mailing list archives and still am no
further along. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi! All:
I am trying to find out an easy and quick way to tell if the network is up or
down.I found that ioctl could retrieve the 'ifflags' which contains the
infomation on if the network is up, but after hours of trying, ioctl still
returns error:
ioctl: Device not configured
Here is the little program I wrote:
struct ifreq data;
struct sockaddr_in address;
size = sizeof(struct sockaddr_in);
if ((id = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) < 0) {
perror("socket");
exit(1);
}
bzero ((char *) &address, sizeof(address));
address.sin_family = PF_INET;
address.sin_port = htons(SERV_TCP_PORT);
address.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl (INADDR_ANY);
if (bind(id,(struct sockaddr *) &address, size)) {
perror("bind");
exit(1);
}
if ( ioctl(id,SIOCGIFFLAGS,&data ) < 0) {
perror("ioctl");
exit(1);
}
/************* end of program ************************************/
Do you have some suggestions? or any other way to get the network status
information?
Many thanks to you all.

If it's an option, turn off "IDE readahead" or "IDE prefetch" in the BIOS.
I've met an SIS chipset recently that exhibited these symptoms. (It was
an ASUS PCI board, but it's worth a try 8)

Your disk geometry is wrong.

This was a wise move.

No problem.

Is this the same geometry that your BIOS is set to for this disk? In
particular, the 16/63 values are crucial. Did you install something like
Ontrack's Disk Mangler in order to work with the oversized IDE disk? This
may well be your problem, as it uses a nonstandard disk layout.

This sounds like there is a problem with the layout of the second disk.

NO ROM BASIC... This means that the disk is not considered bootable.
I strongly suspect that you are using Disk Mangler or an equivalent.

> 1) Where does the boot manager reside? On disk 0 (e.g. my 170Mb DOS C: drive)? Or on disk 1 (1Gb) ?
The boot manager lives in the MBR of the disk. It's odd that despite you
installing on the _second_ disk, the boot manager shows up. FreeBSD is quite
paranoid about only installing the bootmanager on the disk being installed
to. The fact that this occurs suggests to me that Disk Mangler (or an
equivalent) has replaced the MBR bootcode on the first disk with code that
reads the MBR bootcode from the _second_ disk.
> 2) Why cant the boot manager boot from the 1Gb drive?
> Must I make a small FreeBSD partition on disk C:?
The 'missing operating system' message actually comes from the BIOS. It's
very strange that you get it _after_ seeing the bootmanager; normally if
the bootmanager can't boot the nominated partition, it comes back with F?
as a prompt.
> 3) What's the problem with the geometry? Initially, fdisk states "528/64/63"
> and I have to change it to "2112/16/63" (when you add it up it's the same thing, no?).
> What does the geometry have to do with boot ?
The number of sectors per track is _crucial_ in locating the beginning
of the first partition on the disk, because it starts at the beginning of
the second track. If the geometry that FreeBSD used for the install is
different from the geomtry that the BIOS sees, the boot manager will not
be able to find the beginning of the FreeBSD partition, and thus won't be
able to boot.
> 4) Two of my colleagues have FreeBSD but they have dedicated disks.
> In my case I dont want to use the whole 1Gb drive just for FreeBSD.
> Is it possible to get DOS and FreeBSD to co-exist on my disk?
Yes, it should be. I would be inclined to blow away the disk and any stupid
Disk Mangler code on it (boot from a floppy and run fdisk), and give yourself
a 450M DOS 'slice', and then use the rest for FreeBSD. As long as the
FreeBSD root partition is under the 500M mark, everything will be fine, and
you won't need any funny tools for DOS to be able to access the disk.
I strongly suspect that the hidden driver is your problem.

Um. This is really the wrong way to go about asking this question. You
could start by including the kernel config file, and a copy of the
system probe output as the system starts.

Ok, what ethernet, how is the disk laid out, what translation options have
you set in SCSI Select?

Check /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers. If the commandline there has -bpp 24
then you are running in 24 bpp mode. The default is 8.

I have hylafax handling my page stuff now, and it works quite well, but I
missed having tpage's "front end" available, so I've hacked tpage.pl to
interface properly with hylafax and ditched tpage's rather cruddy (hey, I can
say that, I helped write parts of it) back end.
If you would like the code, drop me a line.

Hi,
I wonder if anyone has any experience with supporting/maintaining
complicated environment with PORTABLE shell scripts (csh flavours and
Bourne and/or Korn shell flavours) for csh-type users and sh-type users ?
To both categories of users, all the utilities and environemnt MUST
be the same in terms commands and expected behaviours.
I am after some good tips for maintaing a large and complex environemnt
(some 40 developers) without having to double the effort for writing 2
different flavours of scripts.
Thanks in advance.

Begin all of your scripts with
#!/bin/sh
And use sh for all of the scripts. This is rudimentary shell programming.

This is a problem in the current SCSI driver where it doesn't delay
at all between the detection of the error and the retry. I don't
know why your disk is "in the process of becoming ready", but we
should probably give it at least a few milliseconds to come ready.
In general, if something is "becoming ready" we should probably
keep retrying for a long time.
As a hack, and to at least let you do dumps and verify that this
is the problem, if you have the source and can rebuild the kernel
it isn't hard to make "asc:4,1" infinitely retried. Unfortunately,
it is a lot harder to do something more intelligent. Note that
this will allow your system to hang forever doing disk retries.
If you want those really stupid patches ask me and I'll send them
to you.

It is in X312lbx.tgz. It is just not part of the normal binaries.

Any plans for AFS support in -current anytime soon? I'm building a
multi-platform network for the dept. of Comp. Science here at UNCC, and
being able to make use of the existing AFS servers on campus would be
a *big* win.
We've got SGI indigo 2's and various Sparcs running (ugh god help me)
Soalris 2.4. I'd love to convince the department that a student lab
composed of higher end pentiums + FreeBSD + WNT or W95 (they want
M$ apps as well -- can't fight that) would be a much better idea
than Solaris on SS5's or bigger machines. The cost / performance + stability
ratio is simply staggering. You have no idea how expensive a truecolor
capable Sparc display is, esp. when you look at a $450 *fast* PCI
card plus AccelX + OpenGL extensions.
I'm even willing to shell out some personal cash to see this happen.
I know that Linux has AFS support, and I heard somewhere that NetBSD does,
so I can't see why some hungry hacker couldn't snarf up the netbsd code
and go to town.
Any takers?
Thanks,
James

When I got this right & left it wouldn't have been fixed by working on the
swap (until it got *BIG*); it turned out to be INN's expireover and a bogus
gigantic .overview file. expireover reads in the entire .overview in a
single slurp and then works from there, takes about 4x the amount of memory
that the .overview is long. Fix was just deleting the bogus .overview...
Check for various things like that, especially if the error comes up
mostly during news.daily... If it is just random then you need more
swap and/or more ram. Note that if you're using much swap then the
system performance is terrible so you should (usually) either fix your
job mix or add ram instead of swap...
(this is different in various versions of unix now; IRIX 5.x backs all ram
by swap so you need enough for all running processes. At least it lets
you add swap on the fly in ordinary files, which we aren't up to yet.)

Does anyone know if any graphics tablets are supported by FreeBSD?
I have a Pentium PC with several OS's on it, including FreeBSD. I
have been looking at buying a Summagraphics Expression tablet for
use under windows, but it would be a real pain in the neck to have
to swap back and forth between the tablet and my mouse everytime I
boot FreeBSD. The Summagraphics tablet doubles as a mouse under
windows, but I am wondering if I can do the same thing under FreeBSD.

That's not true if you have a kernel compiled with:
pseudo-device vn #Vnode driver (turns a file into a device)
Once that's accomplished, it's a simple as:
root@everest (17) # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dumps/swapfile bs=1m count=8
root@everest (17) # vnconfig /dev/vn0b /dumps/swapfile swap
root@everest (18) # swapinfo

Naturally, you'd want to add an entry to /etc/vntab if you wanted the
device to survive the next reboot.
I haven't played with this feature much, so I may be missing a thing or
three.

Hi,
My first time mailing to you guys, so please excuse any protocol errors. :-)
I'm having some very strange problems with the 951020 snapshot, attempting to
install it over a fairly recent 2.1.0 release. The box in question has a
WD8013EP ethernet card, which has worked OK up to today. It's found by the
bootup code, and gives the expected:
ed0 at 0x280-0x29f irq 5 maddr 0xd8000 msize 16384 on isa
ed0: address 00:00:c0:6d:81:2d, type WD8013EP (16 bit)
During the installation, whether I try an upgrade or a full install, I see, on
the debug screen:
DEBUG: Init routine called for network device ed0.
ed0: device timeout
On the "holographic shell" screen, an ``ifconfig'' tells me:
ed0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 130.88.202.16 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 130.88.202.255
ifconfig: kvm_read(): Bad address
and none of the network stuff works. A bit nasty, since I'm trying to install
from it. :-(
If I reboot the old version, it all works (except that the install has
trashed a fair bit of what was there).
I'd normally post to c.u.b.f.m, but I'm in the process of copying my Usenet
article disk to a RAID array and the damned thing is too overloaded to let
me post...
Any assistance appreciated!
All the best,
Ian.

Is your card configured for irq 5? I'll bet not. Use the '-c' command
at the boot prompt and modify the kernel to look at the IRQ you ethernet
card is using.

This is not a source code available port. The NetBSD port is binary
only.
It would required a modification of the cookie mechanism for directory
iteration, and now a translation layer to unset the HASBUF bits on the
underlying cn_pnbuf AND to hide the page manipulation and argument
differences recently introduced in the FS API. Only the HASBUF stuff
is a result of my patches, and that's the intended mechanism to work
around the compatability issues.

Subject: Unknown Ethernet Card - Any experts out there?
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org
Precedence: bulk
I recently picked up a nice little ethernet card at computer show for $20.
The card came with no documentation, but seems to be detected by linux, freebsd
and win95 as a NE2000 clone. here's what freebsd says...
ed1 at 0x340-0x35f irq 10 on isa
ed1: address 00:40:05:11:18:aa, type NE2000 (16 bit)
an ifconfig ed1 reveals:
ed1: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.158.82.44 netmask 0xffffff00 braodcast 192.158.82.255
ether 00:40:05:11:18:aa
SO according to all this info I should have a working ethernet card, right?
Well, it doesn't work. The card has both BNC and 10BT connectors, so I
of course tried the link2 option with no results. I don't think this thing
is using any shared memory like my 3com 3c503-16 (which works splendidly BTW).
On the noname card there are four LED's:
Power/TX, Link/RX, Collision, JABBER
The Jabber LED stays on all the time, I think this might be a bad thing, but
I dunno.
Any ethernet card experts out there help me troubleshoot?? The 'brand' name
of the card is ENet-16, and the chipset appears to be a DL2517B (no manuf.
name at all...) It's made in Taiwan, if that's of any help...
Thanks,
Troy

Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk
I have been having problems properly installing FreeBSD on my system. Since I'm
a new-comer to UNIX, please excuse any dumb questions.
My configuration is as follows:
EIDE Controller
WD Hard Drive (1.2 GB) - WD0
Conner Hard Drive (518 MB) - WD1
I'm installing FreeBSD onto WD1. I have created a partition for all of WD1 and
created three slices on this partition:
/ - 20MB
/usr - 458MB
swap - 40MB
Each time I run install, it recognizes the partition on WD1, but it doesn't see
a root slice installed on it. When I select label, it sees 3 slices but it
doesn't see the mountpoints for root (/) and user (/usr).
I've installed with the BootMgr, and when I reboot my system and select the BSD
drive, I'll get the Boot prompt. At this point, if I try to do anything, the
system will hang. I've tried entering a "?" to get a list of files, but get the
same result.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi
I am having troubles with user land ppp.
I have used the sample config files to set up the user ppp
as a server (allowing dialin).
Everything connects up cool, but it spits out a message
that the machine as follows:
Warning: No password entry for this host in ppp.secret
Warning: All manipulation is allowed by anyone in a world
the connect then completes.
>From freeBSD all of the routing tables get updated and
pings etc work, BUT from both NT and trumpet winsocks
under win3.1 the client routing tables dont get updated
ie: pings respond with a timeout message
So WHAT AM I DOING Wrong???
the hosts files on windows side are correct and name is resolved
to an IP addr. but nothing else works.
I can forward any and all config files if they are helpful in the
diagnosis.
also under nt:
ipconfig (a util that replies with ip addresses )
says the right things about the ppp link.
that is the IP, subnet and default gateway.
Thanks for any help you might provide
Dave

Hi !
Is it possible to mount old 2.0 partitions under 2.0.5R ? I get errors
like rejected BSD label etc.
By the way, it's the disk where the DOS-partitions are installed too.
Thanx,

The XFree86 WWW site http://www.xfree86.org is back on the air,
and they do list all compatibility information.
As they also have certain user-contributed X servers from time
to time, it might be worth checking them out.
Maybe e-mail info@xfree86.org might elicit some response.
Sorry I can't answer your question.

You haven't rebooted since the tcl library was installed, so ld.so can't
find the tcl library.
The warning when running tcl just means that the package was compiled against
a different version of the standard library. It shouldn't cause you any
problems.
Guys; "Undefined error: 0" is a _really_stupid_ error message. How about
something like "Can't find library <blah> - install or rescan and try again."

Hi,
I've checked prev. mailing lists and was unable to find a solution.
I have a Pioneer DRM-624X cdrom changer, that FreeBSD only recognizes
the first disk (but this is not the problem...)
I wanted to play audio CD's from FreeBSD like I was doing from Linux,
so I grabbed the xmcd dist from the xmcd web site. I was getting
the well known ioctl permission errors (as reported previously).
I then saw a post to grab a FreeBSD "fix" from burka.netvision.net.il,
and the xmcd.static that was shipped with this package no longer gave
ioctl errors, it paniced my machine with the message:
panic: biodone: buffer not busy
It would also "ping" my hard drive once a second or so.
This is nothing new, I see from scanning previous entries on the mailing
list, so I thought maybe I should sup another -stable version (at the
time, I was running 2.0.5-STABLE supped in September). Today, I grabbed
2.1-STABLE, recompiled everything, and attempted to rerun xmcd.
This time, I do not believe the machine reported a panic. It just
froze SOLID. No numlock toggling (etc), ctrl-alt-del didn't reboot.
I do not believe a panic was reported.
I'd love to be able to listen to music again at work, but more importantly,
I am concerned that this could be a problem with FreeBSD.
I'm using a P90 AST w/32 mb RAM, NCR controller on MB, 2gb scsiII hd.
Any solutions? Thanks!

You should be able to get more by editing scsiconf.c and adding an entry
for the drive.. (there should already be one for the 600 I think (yes)
In fact, there are two sets, on under NEW_SCSICONF and one in the old section..
This section is going to be cleaned up soon, including a smarter
pattern matching routine :)

Hello,
I would like to beg, steal or even buy the hard copy manual for The
FreeBSD Handbook. I've started printing it from my Web viewer and this
is too painfull. I'd even take a text file, EPS file or anyother format
that I can download. If I need to ftp it thats OK or even attach it to
a return e-mail msg.
Thank you, David Lewis

This is something I experienced, and probably should go in the FAQ.
Certain BIOSes (my Intel Zappa 100 is one of those) do an automatical
remapping of the drive geometry if they find >1023 cyls, while the
boot manager apparently uses the standard geometry. I think this
way only the partition at the beginning of the disk can boot.
You should disable this feature in the BIOS.

Hello.
I am from University of Coimbra and I've just got Free BSD package to install in my computar at home but I've had some problems. I have a 386 DX (40 MHz) computer (4 MegaBytes - RAM) with a Maxtor hard disk and a Super I/O card. My computer doesn't have a numeric coprocessor (I don't if it is necessary). I tried to install FreeBSD from floppies but the first menu didn't even apeared nor i could get into the configuration prompt. At the boot process the computer always stop at the following point:
Text=0x100000 data=0x0 bss=0xa00 Symbols=[0x600+0x4+0x258+0x4+0x1d9]
Total=0x40139 entry point=0x300000
After this message the light drive stays always on but the computer no longer reads the boot floppy drive and the keyboard doesn't even receive my keystrokes, so I have to power off the computer.
I would like to know if I have to get a better computer to run FreeBSD or can I do it with this one and what is the problem I am having.
In the manual handbook says that we should get a bootmanger if we are going to have msdos in one partion and BSD in another but I can't find it. Could you tell me how to get it?
Many thanks.
I hope hearing from you soon.
Paulo.

A make in src/share/doc/handbook produces ascii and html format
documents. The ascii version could be printed.
sgmlfmt -f latex handbook.sgml produces handbook.tex. Run latex
_three_ times on it and you get a .dvi. Should only need two passes
to get the page numbers right. :-(

Hey There all...
I was just trying to get satan to compile under 2.0.5 (erm... NO I am not some
little hacker keen on breaking into another system - another admin set up the
security on one of my sites and I want to see if he missed anything obvious)
Anyway, during it's reconfiguration script, I get the message :
ld.so: perl: too many open files
Now wtf am I supposed to do with this ?

I've been using netscape to print and/or convert HTML to postscript.
This works out most of the time, but given the number of HTML documents
and the dynamic nature of the handbook, it's not very practical.
There's got to be a HTML-postscript filter that can work in batch mode

Unfortunately, the current installation floppies haven't been working on
machines with only 4MB of RAM. If you can add any additional memory (even just
1MB more), your system should then work okay with FreeBSD.

Here is the situtation:
I have a DELL XPS100 system with a 1.6gig IDE drive and a HITACHI
IDE CDROM. I got the sup-stable with the ATAPI distribution and built
a new kernel. On boot up it looks as though everything is recognized
wcd1: <HITACHI>,rdonly,..... something else here, it also says it has
686MB/sec transfer, 128 volume levels...etc. I have a disk in at boot
up. I use the new MAKEDEV script and make wcd0c: sh MAKEDEV wcd0
the device file gets created, but when I try to mount it with
mount_cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /mnt it says device not configured. What the
HE** is going on. I have posted to the news groups, but no response.
Either no one has anything to say, or no one is dumb enough to use an
IDE cdrom drive with FreeBSD.;)
Thanks..
Chris

Hi,
I'm running the 2.0 patch of last april and I use a SLIP connection
a lot. Until recently it worked very well, until my SLIP provider
changed it's netmask. Now my connection hangs after a couple of
minutes. I put in the ifconfig sl0 the new netmask which is
255.255.192.0 but with no help. Any idea out there about
what things I could try.
Thanks.

Nope.
Pass 1: Page numbers are collected.
Pass 2: "correct" page numbers are inserted BUT, the table of contents
has also been inserted which makes them all wrong.
Pass 3: correct page numbers are inserted.
The next generation conversion will hopefully be able to generate decent
postscript via groff so TeX won't be required.

The best answer I came up with for a similar situation was to use pine
as the mail reader, and set the default inbox for all users the
{mailserver}inbox, and set up imapd on that system. The users have to
use the imapd login procedure again (in pine) to get to the inbox, but
it appears to work fine. I'm not sure how the sent.mail stuff would
work -- that might have to be imap'd as well. Another possible answer
is use of pop and an X mail reader of some kind that support it (I'm not
sure which mail readers, X or otherwise, support imap and pop.)
If you wanted an Xable answer, maybe you could implement an rsh alias
that essentially loaded up an xterm with the mail reader, actually
executing on your mail server. There doesn't appear to be a simple file
sharing answer that comes to mind though, unless the locking stuff in
nfs starts working.

This seems like an easy problem to diagnose and fix, but more information
is needed. How far in the installation process did you get? How
many SCSI drives do you have and which drive is FreeBSD installed
on? Do you have any IDE drives in the same machine? More likey
than not, your drive geometry is wrong. What kind of scsi controller
do you have?

Hi,
Is there any status about the bugs discovered in the 2.1 snapshot?
When the CD version will be out ?

I have one SCSI drive on a 1542 card dedicated to FreeBSD. The machine
is...
i486/33
16 Megs ram
IDE control with 2 400 Meg drives
SCSI adaptec 1542, 766 Meg
Mitsumi single speed CDROM
Sound Blaster
5 1/4 and 3 1/2 floppies
Hercules SVGA video 1 Meg ram
The installation seems to go well up until the end. I get to the point of the
post-config. It doesn't seem to set up the boot manager. When I reboot there
isn't a boot manager installed. Is there some way to boot from floppy? Is
there some way to exit the installation program and remain booted? I could
them find the kernel and dump it to floppy.
Thanks

What would the correct set of kernel options be to ensure that during a system
panic I get:
1) The panic and related messages in /var/log/messages
2) The system immediatly reboots with no user intervention
Thanks!

I'm happily running X11R6/Xfree86 on my pentium, using an Orchid
Prodesigner Plus card (yes, I know, run a new system with a really old
card, but it's an old and *good* card :) -- everything works fine except
when I return to text mode from the X server. I get a "snow" along the
left three columns of the screen. the rest of the text is fine, but a
high speed coored snow covers the console a little useless :). Anyone
have any ideas?

You can manually install a boot manager from DOS. I recommend osbsbeta, which
is on the first CDROM in tools/osbsbeta.exe.

Try using the boot floppy, except rather than accepting the default
on-floppy kernel, use sd(0,a)/kernel or hd(X,a)/kernel, where X=2 probably.

There's supposed to be a shell you can get to by typing Alt-F2(? one of those
FN keys), but there's no need to do this. The above methods should work.

Also, I have a pentium machine that I cant seem to install on. It has
a sony cdu33a CDROM drive. I noticed in some of my reading that
this drive isn't supported. Is there a fix for this?
There is a fix for this in -current, but it's not in FreeBSD 2.0.5 and
I'm not sure if it made it into the last snapshot or into the upcoming
FreeBSD 2.1. Your best bet is to copy the bindists onto a MSDOS partition
and install that way. Someone else can fill you in on the details of
the atapi patches if need be.

I use the GNU tools for cross compiling to 68XXX and to MIPS CPU's.
Its trivial to build cross tools these days.
Pick up the latest binutils from a GNU site, binutils-2.5.2, and
gcc-2.6.3.
I use this to build executables in sun3 object format.
./configure -v --host=386bsd --target=sun3

During the installation I notice that you can dedicate a
drive to be totally for FreeBSD, so that it doesn't use partitions
compatible with other operating systems. I have a system that I
want to set up this way (I don't need compatability with other
operating systems)
Can anyone tell me what is the best way to determine the drive's
geometry in this case? I'm using an NCR controller ('810) if that
helps.
Any help is appreciated,

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org

I have a USR Sportster 14.4 modem connected to my FreeBSD2.0R system. The
serial ports are using the 16550 UARTS. When I dialin to there, all that
happens is I connect and never get a login prompt.
ps shows (when when there is a connection):
4589 d0 Ss+ 0:00:29 /usr/libexec/getty V19200 ttyd0
The modem seems to be configured correctly (and I have through the FreeBSD
handbook for addl ideas/suggestions). Infact, at one point in time, I had this
running fine till the modem was needed elsewhere for a while (big mistake).
Communications seem to be fine. I had dialed out with tip (after turning
dialup off) connected with the other computer, and was able to send/receive
messages w/o problems.
Am I overlooking somthing? This seems like a config problem but I cant seem
to find it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Say. That's annoying.
I really hate non-incremental cross build environments. I guess it
comes from using configure instead of makefiles to do the cross
build ...that's the problem with configure: it wants a single
target to result from the configuration process. No way to mount
the same CDROM/read-only-NFS on multiple machines and generate
working code without fighting the configure program first. 8-(.

Yeah, what are you dialing in from and what revision is the modem
firmware?
US Robotics Sportster's had a bug where an incoming call from a Rockewll
chipset based modems would cause the Sportster to hang. It's corrected
by a firmware update from US Robotics.
This may not be your particular problem.

You can build the binutils package will all targets compiled in.
Don't know if it will figure out what the target is if you do
`size file' for instance.
AFAIK the compiler must be built for a specific target. Not that
big a deal unless you have tools for dozens of environments.
It better than nothing.

I'd suggest giving Oracle a phone call since Oracle uses
that naming scheme.
However, I am having problems fitting this question in the
freebsd-questions category or the freebsd-hackers categogy.
Unless you're going to say: "Well, I want to read these files on
a freebsd machine"... but even then....

I'll bet you $5 that the modem is incorrectly set to a different speed
from the getty. Use tip to connect to the modem at 19200,
type 'AT&Q' to get your modem to lock onto your current speed, and then
type 'AT&W' to save this value into the modem.
Power cycle the modem, and then stop/restart the getty (some or all of
these may not be necessary).
It should work fine now.

I am trying to build and information center
where people dial into it and get information.
The information files I have came from a dos system
in .dbf format. Some files are 40,000 entries large.
My idea is to translate it to text an put in a
ingres data-base where anyone using script (shell)
can access.
I have heard there is a cbase or something like that
(a library that manages .dbf files).
Will someone please point me a solution???
Thanks.
Lenzi.

There is a company that supports a dBase clone for FreeBSD. It
was in comp.unix.freebsd.announce recently.

Just use the ISA version. The PCI version doesn't deliver performance
that is that much higher. Contrary to popular belief serial ports
just don't present that much of a load.
I am, nonetheless, working on a PCI port of the CYB driver, and I'm
currently testing 32 port support.

I installed FreeBSD 2.0.5 on my second IDE hard drive.
After I finished installation I did not get any 'F?' prompt to find out what
is the function key for BSD.
I am not able to boot up into FreeBSD off the hard disk.
(My system is: Pentium 60 MHz, 8 MB RAM, 3.5" floppy drive, 540 MB Maxtor IDE
(first drive), 540 MB Conner IDE (second drive: DOS partition 257 MB, FreeBSD
partition 257 MB), CD-ROM IDE, 28.8 Kbps fax/modem.)
Please, help.

Hi,
My hard disk has developed some bad sectors and seems as if it
has corrupted my FreeBSD boot block. The symptom being that I do not
get the FreeBSD boot prompt as before, and the hard disk LED is just
on forever and nothing appear on the screen. However, when booting off
a floppy and specify sd(0,a)/386bsd to boot (yes, I have a wd0 and sd0,
and I undefine wd0 from BIOS setup to let the system boot off sd0 normally),
it can boot properly.
I first suspected the mbr corruption, and ran fdisk /mbr upon boot
up from a DOS boot disk. That doesn't fix the problem. Now I suspect
my FreeBSD boot block gets corrupted. Can someone tell me the right
command to re-install the bootblock, I remeber something that involve
/usr/mdec/sdboot and /usr/mdec/bootsd, but can't remember the exact
command.
Thanks in advance.

Subject: Too many UUCP checksum errors! Help!

Guys (& gals),
I've written about this before, but now I have a little more info.
I thought the noisy line was to blame, but it's not as simple as
that. It's not really a serious problem anymore, but something
that I'm curious about.
This is my situation. I'm using 2.0.5-RELEASE, and I'm getting lots
of checksum errors on UUCP over my 16550A UART, mostly due to lost
bytes. I swap cards to a 16450 UART, and the problem disappears.
I tried using the 16550A UART again, this time with the FIFO
disabled in the kernel, but the checksum errors were still there.
I have a noisy line, so I always enable the modem's error correction.
I don't get a single checksum error over the 16450, but lots of lost
bytes over the 16550A.
I have enabled crtscts, and disabled xon/xoff. I must be doing this
OK, since I get no problems over the 16450.
Also, I used to run Linux UUCP over the same line. No problems there,
even with the 16550A.
One more thing: the 16550A is on a VESA slot, wheras my 16450 is
on an ISA slot. I have a DX4-100, i.e. my clock speed is 33, so
I don't really expect the bus speed to be causing any problems
(especially since Linux works at the same speed). I usually
connect at 14.4K, but the situation is the same regardless of
the modem speed I connect at. Funny thing is that I can run
Netscape quite happily over the same UART without any problems -
perhaps SLIP handles lost bytes better than the UUCP protocols?
(BTW, I don't run UUCP over tcpip, but through direct dialup)
Also, I get nothing about serial problems in /var/log/messages.
It's no big deal for me to use a 16450, just to get FreeBSD UUCP
to run. It sounds like the 16550A driver could be dropping bytes,
but I'm not sure. I'm just interested in what could be going wrong.
I was hoping that this additional information may give someone a
hint as to what's happening.
Thanks to you all,
Raoul

Just wanted to add: not enabled at the same time! I'm pretty sure

No can do. The PC BIOS can't boot from the third drive. You will have
to put a small BSD root partition on one of the IDE drives.

The panic messages can only be written if the filesystem code is in a fit
state to write it. Often this is not the case.
I have noticed that if your system is setup to dump, that savecore reports
the cause of the panic when it reads the kernel image.
I'm not sure if this is what inserts the panic details into the dmesg
output.
> 2) The system immediatly reboots with no user intervention
This is _highly_ dependant on the cause of the panic. For a proper solution,
I would recommend obtaining a hardware watchdog card. Emerging Technologies
(www.etinc.com?), somebody who can be contacted via Brian Litzinger
(www.mediacity.com?) and various other vendors support these under FreeBSD.
I've just implemented a remote-reset capabilty for a cluster of machines
using an 8-channel relay card (~$300AUS) driving their reset lines.
The owners were much more interested in how easy it was to run a Knight Rider
pattern on the LED's on the relay board. I feel sorry for the machines
connected next time they run the test program 8)

FreeBSD is very careful to avoid writing on any disks that you haven't
specifically asked it to. In your case, it means that it hasn't written
the bootmanager to the first disk; you'll have to do that yourself.
The bootmanager's DOS-based installer is on the CDrom; you can also use
another bootmanager like OS-BS or the OS/2 Bootmangler.

Umm, the dmesg information he sent me has it "wdc1: ..." and "wcd0: ...",
which given the fact that he has two controllers and the cdrom is on the
second one makes perfect sense. The cdrom _is_ /dev/wcd0.
His original bug report had an unfortunate typo which has confused matters.

This is bizarre, but as I've commented previously, I have a local customer
that has a similar problem. Characters are lost incoming and outgoing,
but only when FIFOs are enabled.

Are your '550s individual devices, or are they buried in a blob? What
brand are they/is the blob?

The '550s aren't actually accessed across the VESA bus, so this isn't an
issue.

Yes, SLIP will often survive incredible data loss.

I'm puzzled as to what the problem is, but until I can get one of these
malfunctioning devices and mail it all expenses paid to Bruce, I'm not
expecting any real answers...

I just installed a new version of FreeBSD. I have used and installed 2.0.5
versions, and have had no problem in the past utilizing the pkg_manage
utility. Other than a couple of minor problems, it seemed to work
perfectly.
Now, I install 2.1.0 ... Wow, a nice package install utility right from
there! Try to use it and it tells me I don't have enough temp space, and
to try when the system is up and running. Not a problem. I get the system
up and running, run /stand/sysinstall and it allows me to select a couple
of packages I want to install. So far so good. Then I try to install
them. It FTPs them from the site (Using ftp.cdrom.com), and then tries to
untar them. The system tells me there were errors.
(Now, this is from memory, so the wording won't be QUITE the same)
tar: cannot find file './<any package>'
cannot find file +CONTENTS in this file. Not a package?
I can get the exact error if you'd like, but I think you might get the
idea. The next step I tried was to just use pkg_manage. After crashing
out on running pkg_info (Because only a partial package was installed I
assume), it did the EXACT same thing. Next I tried running pkg_delete to
delete the partial packages installed so pkg_info would work. I then tried
pkg_add to add it THAT way. Same error. I tried running pkg_add with the
FULL pathname (I entered:
pkg_add /tmp/<package>
instead of being in the directory and just typing:
pkg_add <package>
This time is SAID it installed the package, though not all the files were
installed as near as I can tell. I tried running pkg_info -a at this time,
and it crashed out after displaying the installed package.
Needless to say, this got me a bit frustrated after being able to install
packages so easily with 2.0.5 ... I've manually installed some of the
basic stuff I need, but I would LIKE to, if possible, find out why I can't
use pkg_manage right now.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi all,
I posted this about a week ago with no reply. I can't see how to
solve my problem, so here goes again.
I have a problem with my Aptiva 486DX4100 running 2.0.5R in 16Mb. It
has a single spin SCSI Toshiba cdrom on an adaptec 1542. The boot
disk is an IDE.
When it boots and mounts the cd at /cdrom it seems to create a file in
the root directory called /cdrom with the following stats
-r-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel 2048 May 1 20:00 cdrom
mount says that the cd is mounted, ie
/dev/cd0a on /cdrom (local,read-only)
but I can't access the cd. Nor can I un mount it by typing 'unmount
/cdrom' but 'unmount /dev/cd0a' works and suddenly /cdrom becomes a
directory again!
The same things happens if I create a new directory & try again, even
if that new directory is on another file system. ie /usr/cdrom
Everything was fine until I was copying a large archive to a floppy
mounted at /mnt and (foolishly) typed 'ls /mnt' from another xterm.
This seemed to create a deadlock on the floppy. The drive light went
out, and neither the ls nor the cp would stop or go into the
background. I quit from X & tried kill -9 to no avail.
So in despair I sync-ed the disks & typed reboot. The machine waited
on syncing disks for ages, so I reset it.
What can I do to get my cd back?
I await your wisdom.

Did part of the installation not go through? Please tell me I'm the only
one having these problems. <G> I even tried just using the Express Setup,

Hello All,
I've imstalled the NNTPD from the 2.0.5 packages and can not get it to work
properly. When it installed it put things to /usr/local/libexec. This looked
differed from the designated directories in the man page so I ln -s 'd
everything to the designated directories. I chown'd everything to news.news. I
created a nntp_access file in /usr/lib/news that looks like this:
default read post
I set up inetd.conf and restarted everyting. I can not telnet to port 119.
The connection is refused. When I run nntpd locally it returns the following:
201 bsd1 NNTP[auth] server version 1.5.11t5 (9 October 1993) ready at Thu Oct 26
03:19:28 1995 (no posting).
It is not getting the permissions from nntp_access, but I do not know why....
HELP PLEASE!

Good memory. The unfortunate thing is that the package utilities were
completely broken on this SNAP, both in the install and all of the
package utilities in the system. You'll need to re-compile newer
package binaries or snarf the versions of the old version and install
those.
Thanks for the bug report.

I think Jordan's rolling a new SNAP tonight you can install, or else you
can do what I'm doing and build everything from newly sup'd sources.

I saw your last post, but figured that you would have worked it out, or

Most bizarre. What happens if you boot single-user (-s at the Boot: prompt)
and create /cdrom? You'll have to remount / before you can write to it :
# mount /
# mkdir /cdrom
# reboot

Does this include editing /etc/fstab to point to the new mountpoint?

I just tried this a few times with no trouble; I don't think it

Device wait; nothing ever returns 8)

I would, uncharitably, say "reinstall" 8) To be honest, I can't imagine what,
short of kernel corruption, would cause this.
You haven't (IIRC) mentioned which version of FreeBSD you're running.

Hi,
I was told this was a very good place to ask FreeBSD questions.. well anyway
here goes..
I have two major problems I would appreciate answers to...
1. Dialup PPP on a FreeBSD machine...
I want to have users login and choose an option from a menu that will then
start PPP. It seems to work ok, as in connects and gives them the IP address
as specified in /etc/ppp/options and they can ping the FreeBSD machine all
ok but no other machines on the network.. ...
I have address class 203.20.104.0
router is at 203.20.104.2
FreeBSD box is 203.20.104.1
Address assigned to PPP clients is 203.20.104.20 (say I onyl have one dialup
connection at present)
i am using
pppd -detach modem crtscts proxyarp
to start the connection..
Do I have to change any routes on FreeBSD? on my router?
2. I have installed OLVWM Window manager for X... Except when I run it i get
an error like
ld.so: olvwm: libolgx.so.3.2: Undefined error: 0
and the same for FVWM
ld.so: fvwm: libXpm.so.4.5: Undefined error: 0
I have installed the xview libraries and xpm as required by FVWM...
They were all installed from packages-2.0.5

You either don't have IP forwarding turned on, or nothing on the network
knows about the other host.
Try
sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
> ld.so: fvwm: libXpm.so.4.5: Undefined error: 0
You have to reboot to make the shared libraries available.

Does the NFS in FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 work with IBM RS/6000 machines running AIX 3.2?
Does it work with an Intel box running ESIX System V release 3.2 ? Whenever I
mount the hard disks on those machines, NFS chokes when the FreeBSD box tries
to write to the mounted filesystems as root. I'm using the FreeBSD box as a
mail server and mounting the /var directory because the hard disk is small
(130 Megs).
Btw, are ESDI drives being supported on FreeBSD 2.0.ish versions? I can get
the 1.1.5.1 version to install with no problems, but the 2.0.ish versions would
just refuse to install. I'm using the same geometry with the 2.0.ish versions
as with the 1.1.5.1 version.
Any answers or comments would be greatly appreciated! :)

Hi! Does anyone know if the #9 Imagine video board is supported? I'm hoping
there's a driver out there for this thing. :)

Hi,
First of all sorry I'm resending this but I never got an answer and it's
real important,
I have tried a few different ways and have not managed to create a FreeBSD
rescue disk. How do I make a floppy disk that will have a file system on
it with a working mount and vi ? (One that doesn't even attempt to boot
from the harddrive)
This is really important and I'm sure there's many other people who'd
like to know :) I think so anyways
Thanks, (and sorry about me having a zillion questions)

I have just installed BSD and i'm having a couple of problems. BSD will
not boot properly unless i have my installation CD in the CD-ROM. I get
the message "filesystem mount failed, startup aborted
enter pathname of shell or RETURN for SH"
I also have a problems when using XWindows. It does not recognize my mouse,
therefore the mouse pointer just sits there. I'm not sure if i'm setting
the mouse type in XF86Config to the correct type for looking for the
device in the /dev directory. I have a Microsoft Mouse on my Gateway 486DX
computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Radius-1.16 from Livingston works fine. Add -Dbsdi to build it.

I'm not sure what you mean by a PPP daemon using the FreeBSD password
file.

Can't say. I wouldn't use a shared mail spool, though. FreeBSD doesn't
support NFS file locking (some goes for other free UN*Xes and some
commercial ones as well).

ESDI drives are supported under 2.0.5 and later but not 2.0. 2.0 lacked
bad144 handling. You _could_ get away with using ESDI (or other ST506
style drives) under 2.0 if you had perfect media. ESDI drives with
perfect media are pretty rare. :)
I used an ESDI under 2.0.5 successfully for quite awhile.

You have your cdrom listed in /etc/fstab. Leave a CD in the drive when
you boot or you'll always see this message. You could also remove the
offending line from /etc/fstab.

It wouldn't happen to be a PS/2-style or bus mouse? If so, neither is
supported inthe GENERIC kernel. You'll have to compile a custom kernel
to use either style. Look in /sys/i386/conf/LINT for examples. Also,
check out the FAQ and FreeBSD handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/) - I
beleive this is covered fairly well.
If it's a serial mouse, it'll be on /dev/ttyd[0-3], depending on which
port it's plugged in to.

I beleive that the boot manager got written to your second drive, but
not the first. You should run bootinst.exe (from DOS) - it's located in
the /tools directory of the CD. It's also somewhere on ftp.freebsd.org.
That should fix your problem.

Hi,
I've spent a few hours searching for documentation on how to add a second new
SCSI HD to my system. I assume I need to use (FreeBSD)fdisk/disklabel and
newfs. This will be my second SCSI HD on the system, so I am attempting
to perform operations on /dev/sd1 and /dev/rsd1 and /dev/rsd1c (can anyone
clarify this?), and I feel I'm running through fdisk with moderate success,
but get ioctl errors from newfs (GDINFO: Invalid argument) (and more).
Is there any clear documentation on how to do this, or a program that makes
it easier? I've RTFM'ed in /usr/share/ and www.freebsd.org, and haven't
found anything really helpful.
Thanks,
R. Beerman

Previously I had AT&B2 set w/o any success.
----------
The suggestion of ATS13=1 didnt seem to help (it was S13=0 before)
----------
Months ago (when this was actually working) I had everything set to 2400
baud. This was b/c I didnt have anything faster to dial in with. I only
switched to the faster speeds after going through the FreeBSD handbook
----------
here is the line in /etc/remote that Im using:

The last 2 parts were added in an attempt to stop tip from connecting at
19200,7,E,1

The suggestion of using tip to connect to the modem and then typing AT&Q

All of the above hopefully covers everything. Im really interested in knowing
why using std.19200 works when V19200 doesnt.

First of all, I had to go dig through my back email to find out what you
are talking about. Using a subject line is a wonderful thing, and
context is even better.

How fast did you connect with tip?

A shot in the dark is to try using the 'dialup' keyword.
I suspect FreeBSD and the modem hardware are not agreeing on something.
I had the exact same problems you had this morning when I moved a modem
from a SUN over to the machine, and I needed to do the advice I gave you
earlier. However, since I setup the modem on the SUN I know all of the
hardware settings of the modem.
The modem must be setup to:
1) Use Hardware flow control
2) Lock the Computer-Modem speed to the speed of the getty
3) Do NOT ignore DTR
4) Use proper cabling to allow all of the above.

Subject: Anyone using ftpaccess successfully?
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org
Precedence: bulk
List:
I need to setup restricted logins using ftpaccess config file. But I seem
to have missed something. Here's what I believe I have done correctly.
* I have the correct permissionson the directory structure for /ftp.
* I have the necessary passwd & group files in /ftp/etc as mode 444
and owned by root.
* I have the ls command in /ftp/bin, mode 111 owned by root.
* The /etc/group file has the appropriate groups for the users (guest).
* The /etc/passwd file has the home directory set as :/ftp/./userid:
(I have used /bin/sh & /etc/ftponly for the shell. Both are in the
/etc/shells file)
The anonymous user can login just fine, but any other user gets a failed
login no matter what I do. Does *anyone* have this working? I definately
am at my wits end on this.
Thanks,
Mark

You need a filter to change LF to CRLF, at the very least.

Root is changed to id -2 by the server unless you explicitly allow remote
root access to the exported FS.
This is done because I can be root on my personal box and read/destroy
anyone's files I want if root access by me is allowed.

No you aren't. The geometry is translated on you if the drive is
over 1023 cylinders, whether you want it to be or not. The translation
isn't the same as if you were using, for instance, a WD1007 controller
and had translation turned on.
Typically in these cases, you must use the entire drive for BSD.
Alternately, you can fix the slice code and it will work.
To use a WD1007, you must not be using sector sparing and you must not
be using BIOS translation. These are J8 and J14 -- but of course, you
will need the format utility from ftp.wdc.com, since changing these
jumpers will require a low level format for each change.
> Any answers or comments would be greatly appreciated! :)
Best bet: use the whole disk for BSD or use none of it, or fix the
slice code and the fdisk.
In theory, the boot code should examine the DOS partition/extended
partition tables and hack in the absolute sector offset. Some fdisks
won't set these correctly. If the boot code does before it goes
protected mode, then the geometry won't matter because the C/H/S
values can be ignored (with the exception of OnTrack 6.x or similar
MBR/INT 13 TSR replacement mechanisms).

Im sorry for any confusion that I might have caused. It been a while since I
have subscribed to the mailing lists and have forgotten how busy they can be.
As for a subject, I wrote the message in vi and then redirected it out. Is
there any (easy) way to have a subject line show up when the message is sent
that way?

I have been. It hasnt worked. Only when I changed the line from
ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty V19200" dialup on
or
ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200" dialup on
to
ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200" unknown on
did dialup start working.

I have the following listed in /etc/shell
/bin/sh
/bin/csh
/bin/tcsh
/bin/bash
/etc/ftponly (doesn't actually exist)
I've used /bin/sh, /bin/csh and /etc/ftponly and it still doesn't allow
users to ftp in.
The users /etc/passwd entries are:
user1:*:1001:30:User's Name:/ftp/./users1:/bin/sh
The users /etc/master.passwd entries are:
user1:<encrypted passwd>:1001:30::0:0:User's Name:/ftp/./users1:/bin/sh
group 30 = guest. I've also tried using the /etc/ftponly as the shell and
it doesn't work. Just returns an error message about not being found in the
log file.
Ciao,
Mark

Hmm, what's wrong with using the std.19200 version?

I use LaTeX and it works great! It can hardly be considered "word

Thanks for the replies all,
Problem solved... I was trying to mount non iso9660 cd with a fstab
entry of
/dev/cd0a /cdrom cd9660 ro 0 0
is cd0a correct? Someone suggested that cd0c is correct.
I didn't know there was another format. It was a cd that came with
the Aptiva. Is there any way to mount it under 2.0.5? I can't see
anything on the disk that tells me it's format.
Thanks for the help,
Peter

I have TACACS working here with FreeBSD 2.0.5. Basically the final
way I made it work is to rip out the `alternate password file'
option from the Cisco Tacacs source code, since there were some
missing system calls (setpwfile()...).
As long as using the "same password file" for doing PPP authorization,
I'm not sure that is entirely possible since (in my understanding)
protocols such as CHAP or PAP require plain text passwords instead
of the DES/MD5 crypted passwords stored in the server.

I have a 300 user Linux system (for conferencing) that I'm
converting to FreeBSD. I'd like for the existing users to
login to the new system with their existing userids/passwords.
Is there a way to convert the old password file for use on
FreeBSD?
Thanks.

Yes there is but you have to be running the DES option.
(kept separatly for the f*cked export laws)
If you do this then the passwords will match..
FreeBSD has an extra :0:0: in it's format
(use vipw to look at and edit it)
but an awk script can be used to quickly bash one format i to the other..

That's the way radiusd works. The terminal server talks to radiusd
and radiusd uses getpwent().

Sorry, I thought the HP DeskJet 560c was an HP/PCL-only printer. If
it supports PostScript, great. You don't need to start screwing with
Ghostscript, then.
The problem might be that it's not detecting that the incoming data is
PostScript. Using the front panel controls (or whatever), set it for
PostScript-only mode. No PCL. No auto-detect. Then try
cat whatever.ps > /dev/lpt0
and let me know what happens.

Oops, fingers faster than brain. Does not work with CHAP or PAP.
CHAP and PAP secrets have to be in the radius users file.

Geez, I guess you know more about my printer than I do. I just checked

You're speaking of the Deskjet 560C? It's not Postscript, it's HP-PCL -
unless you've installed some kind of upgrade I don't know about.

Hi,
I'm running 2.0.5 as a gateway machine between my LAN and the Internet.
I'm using Ethernet for the LAN, and a 28.8Kb modem with iijppp for the
connection to my Internet access provider. It is mostly working fine,
but I am experiencing two problems.
1. The link spontainiously drops rather frequently. It isn't timeouts,
and I haven't been able to determine whether the problem is at my end,
their end, or with the phone line itself.
This isn't a major problem since I can just set up a ping with a
sixty second interval to make sure the line is re-opened if necessary.
2. After a while (several hours to a few days - averages about two days),
it will get into a state where I can't make high-level connections
(e.g. finger) from the gateway to outside machines. Ping and traceroute
still work fine, and incomming mail/http/etc. connections still work fine,
but outgoing connections just hang. Re-starting the connection, or even
killing and re-starting the ppp process has no effect; the only way I've
found to fix it is to re-boot.
Any advice on how to find out what's going on here would be appreciated.
Thanks,
-Pat

OK, I know I am overlooking something simple, but I can't see it.
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <stdio.h>
main () {
printf("It is now %s\n", ctime(time()));
};
I also tried
ctime(time((time_t*)0))
ctime(time(NULL))
and
ctime(1000000)
The last one gave an answer, the rest core dumped.
What should I use?

Speaking of which, some OS's accept a 'noauto' option in their /etc/fstab
to tell 'mount -a' not to bother with the line. I like to have a /cdrom
line in my /etc/fstab, but don't want it mounted at boot time and would
like to be able to do
# mount /cdrom
at some point without having to remember all of the right args. Yes, I
know I could write a little wrapper script to do
# mount -t XXXfs -r /dev/cd0a /cdrom
or whatever the right incantation is, but it'd be nice to have that
'noauto' option.

Must have been a broken UART. I replaced the external modem and serial
card with an internal modem (with a 16550), and I have had no problems
so far...

Uh, I don't think it's worth any effort. My internal modem works
fine, and it looks very much like the UART was to blame (although,
like I said, Linux worked fine on it... strange).
Thanks for your time & effort!

Hello jason,
I use this kind of thing (ppp and slip) here.
I put "options GATEWAY" in the conf file
run routed with options -s
Make a table in the form:
tty ip
ttyd1 200.123.14.14
ttyd2 200.123.14.15
ttyd3 200.123.14.16
....
When a user logs_in it starts an awk program
that given a tty it returns an ip.
ip=awk "\$1 == \"$1\"{print \$2}' < tbl
after that, the ppp program is run....
pppd passive :$ip
in the /etc/ppp options -> Bmodem
crtscts
For the slip question I coded an slip program...
that runs un ifconfig + route command at start
and route delete + ifconfig at carrier lost....

Yup. I got used to this with SunOS, and I miss it here. If I ever get
the chance, I might look at it and see how easy it would be.

Time requires a NULL argument to be passed to it.
The return value from time(NULL) is an integer, whereas ctime() requires
a pointer to a long int. Do something like
long int thetime;
thetime = time(NULL);
printf("It is now %s\n", ctime(&thetime));

I just bought a computer with an Adaptec 2940 SCSI card and a Fujitsu 29155A
hard drive. I was able to boot up and install off CD-ROM with no problems
(the disk partitioning utility forced me to start the root partition at
offset 32, and wouldn't let me use the last few cylinders, but otherwise
things got created okay, the files got installed and I can look around when
booted off floppy) but I can't boot off of the hard drive. If I try to just
boot up, it give a "drive not ready" error and asks for a floppy; if I put
in the floppy and tell it to boot off of "sd(0,a)/kernel" it spews an
apparently infinite number of "Error: C:0 H:0 S:0" messages to my screen.
I've tied disabling the Adaptec BIOS and the >1024 cyl emulation, but it
hasn't helped.
The rest of the system info: it's a P133 on an Intel Zappa motherboard
using an AMI BIOS.
(yes, I've gone through all the FAQs and archives...)
Many thanks...

The ctime() function takes an argument with the type "time_t *",
but, time() returns a value which type is "time_t". :)

Hello,
I am running FreeBSD 2.0 from the Walnut Creek CD, 95 January edition.
But i have a big problem : time to time, my keyboard hang when i switch
virtual consoles (the Gateway 2000 syndrom, i think). I don't have easily
acces to ftp so i can't download a new system ...
Did you plan a new release of this cd-rom in the near futur ?

I think it goes like this:
1. You must use DES in FreeBSD
2. cp /etc/master.passwd /etc/master.passwd.bak
3. use vipw and include Linux /etc/passwd efter FreeBSD /etc/passwd
4. delete linux root etc accounts
5. add the missing account expiration etc. fields on every
Linux passwd file line (after group id the characters ::0:0)
6. exit vipw

FreeBSD has had a "noauto" option for a few months now.
RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/sbin/mount/mount.c,v
...
revision 1.8
date: 1995/08/26 05:39:53; author: davidg; state: Exp; lines: +4 -5
The changes for adding the "noauto" option were mostly wrong. MNT_NOAUTO
is a kernel flag, and the kernel definately doesn't need to know about
it.
----------------------------
revision 1.7
date: 1995/08/23 12:59:27; author: jkh; state: Exp; lines: +6 -3
Add a "noauto" flag so that you can do things like prevent your system
from not coming up multiuser just because you have a CD mount in fstab
but no CD in the drive.

ftp ftp.freebsd.org
cd pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current
bin
get src.tar
Now I know there is no src.tar there..
but the server will tar up the src directory for you and send it..
(smart server eh?)
of course this is a LOT of sources..
(100s of MB) you might want to be more slective by cd'ing further into the
tree.
also consider:
1/ buy the cdrom.. for 30 dollars it's a good buy
2/ get a pc, get the boot floppy, install it
the install process will ftp over the sources as part of the install
3/ get and compile SUP on whatever unix box you have and SUP the sources..
(see the www pages at www.freebsd.org for more options)

This is what I did (which other people contributed
the bits and pieces of):
/etc/printcap
# @(#)printcap 5.3 (Berkeley) 6/30/90
lp|ps|local line printer:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0n:sd=/var/spool/lpd:
where /dev/lpt0n looks like:
crw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 16, 16 Oct 27 01:00 /dev/lpt0n
and then finally have this done in one of the rcs during boot up:
/usr/local/sbin/setdj >/dev/lpt0n
where setdj is a compiled this:
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
printf("\x01b\x026\x06b\x033\x047");
}
It works for an 550c anyway. I use gs for the ps stuff.

My modem problem is opposite from the usual -- I can dial in just fine,
but dialout with tip is a problem. I am using the /dev/cuaa0 driver in
/etc/remote and am setting it up as a direct connect. The modem responds
fine and will dial the number, but doesn't seem to make a connection to
the system I am dialing into. (I've tried this on two different systems
with two different modems)
I will get a prompt, but when I type in my login and hit return, the
cursor just goes to the far left. It won't work using ^J, either. If I
wait long enough I will get a connection timeout.
Is this something in the tty setup?
Thanks.
Dan

Ummm, I had a long chat with a rep from there, and she said that they
don't "officially" support FreeBSD at this time, but are thinking about
it, and that some of their engineers are FreeBSD users (or dabblers, at
least). She said that development efforts for other OS's (NT for example)
currently had priority.
All that aside, there are TWO drivers available for FreeBSD for the
cyclades boards. One that is included in the kernel sources, and
another, by Brian E. Litzinger <brian@mpress.com>. The latter one is
rumored to be more stable and may (it's rumored) be integrated into the
FreeBSD sources at some time (I'm not an athority on these things, mind
you).
In a month or two (as soon as my current batch of projects settles down)
I'm planning on implementing a remote access server using the Cyclades
boards.
later,

I send a mail to info@freebsd.org, and got an automated reply. Will any human
also look at that message (I was about the possibility of using (future)
FreeBSD 2.1.0, together with Windows95, together on one SCSI disk)?

A ``friend'' was recently giving me the ``nanny-nanny'' treatment when
he discovered ParcPlace's free OI distribution for Linux. All I could
offer in retribution was that Warner's a FreeBSD hacker.
Anyway, with some of the recent discussion of the Linux emulator for
2.1, I wonder if someone's tried OI with it---and how successfully it
works.

Hmm.. I have a feeling this is 'unsupported' to say the least, but
after mucking around with fdisk and disklabel, and still getting
errors from newfs, I wound up doing
<change to console 0>
login as root
cd /stand
./sysinstall
now do "partition" (or whatever the first selection is)
After defining everything on the right disk, hit "w" to go into wizard
mode. From here, do "write".
Then repeat with "label" (or whatever the second selection is).
Exit, and newfs
No warranties, but this worked for me when adding the 4th SCSI disk.

Sure.

My understanding is because Sun has poorly documented the protocol.
It's very difficult to code something when you have neither a
specification, nor an existing implementation (in source form) to
work from.
Nevertheless, I believe someone is working on it.

it's asking for a <shawdow.h> header file. We don't seem to have one (in
2.0.5-RELEASE). Any suggestions?
Has anyone gotten bwnfsd to work properly with FreeBSD? I've had good
luck with it on AIX systems. I'm trying to get it to work because pcnfsd
doesn't seem to want to cooperate with NIS.
thanks,

Hey, it's portable programming time!
<<On Thu, 26 Oct 1995 21:54:43 -0600 (MDT), Dave Andersen <angio@aros.net> said:
> Time requires a NULL argument to be passed to it.
Actually, let's be slightly more accurate here.
time(3) takes as its only argument a pointer to type `time_t'. If
that pointer is not null (NB: not `not NULL'), then it fills in that
location with the current time. In any case, it also returns a value
of type `time_t'. (Old systems spelled `time_t' l-o-n-g, but you
should use `time_t' and define it yourself if the system doesn't.
FreeBSD always has.) Depending on your preferred style of
programming, you might want to write either:
time_t thetime;
time(&thetime);
or
time_t thetime;
thetime = time((time_t *)0);
Note that the `(time_t *)' case is important for portable programs,
unless you can guarantee that a complete prototype of the `time'
function is in scope. (I consider it to be good style anyway.) The
second form has the benefit of permitting `thetime' to be stored in a
register.
The reason why `time' works this way goes back to Sixth Edition Unix.
In v6, the `long' type had not yet been added to the C language. As a
result, all functions dating back to that era which deal with times
originally expected a pointer to the first element of an array of two
`int' elements, and would perform the 32-bit arithmetic by hand.
(Ever wonder about PDP_ENDIAN in <machine/endian.h>?) When `long' was
added to the language, the calling convention of the time routines was
left the same to ensure binary compatibility. Of course, `time' could
not return its value directly until the language had `long', since in
C one still cannot return array values.
So that is why time(3), gmtime(3), localtime(3), and ctime(3) all take
their arguments as pointers rather than as values.
> long int thetime;
> thetime = time(NULL);
> printf("It is now %s\n", ctime(&thetime));
Actually, a newline is not necessary here, since the buffer filled in
by `ctime' always ends with a newline. This is because the original
implementation of the `date' program was something like:
------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
extern time();
extern char *ctime();
int
main()
{
int thetime[2]
time(thetime);
fputs(ctime(thetime), stdout);
return 0;
}
------------------------------------
Obviously, you wouldn't ever want to copy this in a modern program.

I'm hoping someone can answer the following questions, because I have not been
able to find answers to them myself.
Just in case it matters for any/all of the questions, I am running
FreeBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE.
1. Everytime I try to compile an application written for X, make won't work.
I run xmkmf to create Makefile from Imakefile.
I then run make.
I always get output like the following:
"Makefile", line 186: Missing dependency operator
[other similar lines cut for brevity]
"Makefile", line 280: Missing dependency operator
Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
What am I doing wrong, or how can I fix it.
2. I can use tip to connect to the modem and then use AT commands to dial out,
but I can't use it to dial a system in my remote/phones files. It
doesn't recognize the phone number if the entry in /etc/remote
references a number in /etc/phones. If /etc/modems exists, it just
pretty much croaks. This has been happening since FreeBSD 2.0-RELEASE.
What can I do to get it to work like it is supposed to.
3. What is the format for quota.user/quota.group files? I know this was asked
before, but I didn't see an answer in the mailing list.
4. How can I get xinit to connect to xdm's server rather than try to load it's
own. I believe xdm's default configuration is set to allow connections
from anyone, anywhere. Xinit has options for -query, -indirectquery,
..., but I couldn't get them to work. Xinit says server load failed,
then it says something about connection to :0.0 refused.
Thanks for any help you can send my way.

Look for some code I *just* posted to the hackers mailing list this
morning which does this very thing. It should be easy to find in the
mail archives.
I just found a problem with the scheme I'm using that exists in the
original code such that IF the connection can't be re-established, PPP
will fill up the logfile with lots (100+/sec) LCP messages, and after a
period of time completely give up and exist. This same problem can
occur with 'auto' mode as well, so I'll try to come up with a generic
fix.

There is someone in England doing the daemon pieces. I already did the
kernel pieces, but though the patches were posted to -hackers and -current,
they have not been integrated.
The last status on the user space pieces was that he had it fully stubbed
and responding as iff all requests were granted. That is, the full
protocol layer was implemented -- the hardest part.
I will bug him for current status in the near future.
When complete, this will be the first source available NFS locking, ever.
Do not expect this to be complete any thime soon; it is a hell of a job
reverse engineering everything, and he has a real life, unlike some of
us. 8-).

You are mixing tabs and spaces in your Imakefile. The preprocessor is
not changing these when it puts out the Makefile. Then make, since
it is POSIX compliant, is choking.
Look at the locations (like 186 and 280) in the Makefile, find the
corresponding lines in the Imakefile, and fix them.
Then rerun xmkmf.

Dunno. I suspect that you aren't starting it with the correct options,
or you are incorrectly using a special character (like '@') in one of
the files.

Man edquota.

xinit is the wrong way to start up X in this case.
If you are running xdm already, then -query is the correct way to start
the server.
Obviously, if you use xinit to do it, then xinit will pass the option to
the xserver, xdm will allocate the server, and subsequent attempts by
the other programs besides the server started by xinit will fail, being
unable to open the display while xdm has it allocated.
This is intentional, since otherwise you could eavesdrop on password entry
to xdm.
If you are trying to start an X login, and leave your console like that,
then you should do it using /etc/ttys. There is a sample configuration
in the X documentation that comes with the server package. You will have
to find its location from the installed file list for the package, or
get the distribution directly from ftp.xfree86.org.
If you are trying to start an X server after you have logged in, you
should just use xinit and should not be using xdm at all.
If you are using xinit and xinit is failing, probably you have XFree86
configured improperly: either the XF86Config file is wrong, or you
are using the wrong server, or you have a getty on your mouse, etc..
You should examine the documentation that comes with XFree86 to find
out which is your problem, then correct it.

You are, of course, entirely correct here. I seem to have been
bitten by the laziness bug. :) My use of the 'long' was somewhat
egregious, however; it's the kind of thing that makes code break wildly
after a long int isn't long enough to store the time since time began.

Is there any support for SCSI scanners in FreeBSD?
I noticed that there is a "pt" device listed in the LINT kernel
configuration file. Could this be used to access a SCSI scanner?
Thanks in advance.

[question 1 - how to find/install/use DES?]
OK, a followup question from yesterdays about converting the Linux
file. Everyone agreed I should use DES. How do I do that? I
looked through the FAQ and the files in /usr/share and grep'ed
for DES and found a mention of scrdist or the secure package,
but they don't appear to be on my CD-ROM (the 2.0.5 from WC).
I ftp'd into Neosoft and looked through ports and distributions
but all I found (after up and down and around) was a file called
des.aa so hopefully I'm making progress, no?
[question 2 - how many max. users?]
I even generated a new kernel, but it wasn't an option in there
either, as far as I could tell. But I did notice it wouldn't let
me set users greater than 64 -- is that the most I can have logged
in at once? We currently have 20 or so logged in at once and we're
not even open for business yet.
Thanks!
later, david

The secure stuff isn't on the CD-ROM because it's illegal for WC to
'export' it outside the US.
The des.aa file is what you need. It's a lot easier for you to install
it when you first set up your system, or before any passwords are set.
The DES encrypted password text isn't compatible with the default MD5
stuff.
You _can_ install it after the fact, however. Here's how I do it.
* Back up your system.
* Shutdown to single user.
* Remove the symbolic links /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2.0 and /usr/lib/libcrypt.a
* cd /
* tar xfvzp des.aa
* Recreate your password file using DES encrypted text.
Your old passwords WILL NOT WORK with DES installed. You can use the
encrypted text passwords from any OS that uses DES encryption.

No, the MAXUSERS parameter only changes the maximum number of processes.
If you want to change the number of simultaneous logins, look for
'pseudo-device pty XX' in your kernel config and the MAKEDEV the new
pty's.

Subject: getty problem in init
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org
Precedence: bulk
I am running FreeBSD 2.0.5 on a 486/66 PC. In an attempt to get kernel core
dumps, I edited /etc/rc to add dumpon, with a parameter set to the primary
swapping device. Since this did not result in a dump, I modified the call
to savecore to force a dump (savecore -f in /etc/rc). When the system did crash,
/etc/init comes up in a weird state, stating that it could not run getty on
some devices because there was no such file. This warning is repeated about
once every 30 seconds, and the system never proceeds beyond that state.
What might be going on here? Is there a way to retrieve the system with reinstalling
everything?
I would appreciate any help!
thanks

the boot to configure anything in(trying to change ed0 to 0x340), when it
gets to the color menu the keyboard doesn't work. Even if I dont change
anything but still -c the same thing happens. However if I dont -c the
keyboard works fine. Any sudgestions would be greatly apretiated.

Help!
I'm having problems booting up on a system with FreeBSD installed on a EIDE
controller. The system is configured as:
EIDE Controller
1.2GB Hard Drive (Drive #1)
FreeBSD Slice (500MB) with 3 partitions (/ - 20MB, /usr - 440MB, swap - 60MB)
The problems are the following:
- I've installed BootMgr, and when I select the FreeBSD slice to boot off of, I
get the boot prompt, but can't do anything else. I get a prompt (|) but the
system locks up.
- If I go to re-install, I see that the FreeBSD slice is still around and the
partitions have their original allocation. But, the installer doesn't see the
mountpoints in any of the partitions.
What's wrong? Will FreeBSD work on a drive >528MB?

Ok. You are a lucky man...
I have it compiled & in package format at:
ftp.bsi.com.br
directory pub/FreeBSD/packages...
You can access it by http://www.bsi.com.br.
It will run on /usr/local/httpd
The files (html) is in dir /usr/local/httpd/htdocs.

Huh? Who told you that? :-)
Neither telnet nor pkg_manage have been changed in this snapshot, nor
did I have (or announce) any plans to. The telnet problem will
hopefully be fixed soon, pkg_manage I don't have any plans to touch.
I've essentially re-implemented it in the system installation tool
itself.

I can't find the darn systems.faq so I'm going to bug you guys, sorry.
I wanna become an ISP (in a while, but I want to gather some info now).
I wanna set up a main sys, a news server, and a misc server.
Here's my outline (you'll see the point to this soon):
news.whatever.net:
full usenet feeds
2->4gig MODE 4 or Blue lightining hard drive
420mb MODE 4 or " for swap memory
P60 -> 75 PCI machine
64 -> 128 EDO ram.
FreeBSD (of course)
Super fast ethr to main server
whatever.net:
DUAL P133 processors in a PCI machine
256 MB EDO ram.
420mb MODE 4 or Blue lighting hard drive for swap
1gig for apps (MODE 4/BL)
2->4 gigs for user space.
T1 or T3 into net.
256k+ pipelined burst cache
FreeBSD
Will run:
std shell logins only (from inet or direct from extras)
extras.whatever.net:
P133 or P100 PCI
32 -> 64 EDO ram
420 swap
1/2->1 gig for daemons
high speed ethernet to main machine.
FreeBSD
Will run:
POP3
httpd
wu-ftpd
Nameserver
Slip/PPPd
Std modem/ISDN shell login
Now my ?'s are:
1. How many users do you think I run comfortably offa this config.
2. Do I have too much/too little disk and RAM (I heard a rumor that huge
amounts of ram can bog a sys down.)
3. Are my choices for the machines vs what they run wise?
4. Is it possible to rebuild FreeBSD offa the cdrom discs? (I wanna -O3 the
whole sys) Is it already optimised? And how much can I make in "one
command" (as claims walnut creek cdrom co. "you can build the whole
source tree in one command": what is considered the source tree? apps too?)
5. Any good books on ISPing you recomend?
Thanks alot,
Mike Perry
P.S. My first concern is computing power, not price.

Lots. It depends on what your users are doing, so it's hard to say.
Email and news you should be able to handle 30-50 on the box easy. If
they all start compiling stuff, 5-10. :)
> 2. Do I have too much/too little disk and RAM (I heard a rumor that huge

The newer Triton chipsets don't cache the memory above 64MB, so you take
a big performance hit. And, if you don't use the Triton chipset you
also take a big performance hit.
> 3. Are my choices for the machines vs what they run wise?
I think it's way overkill, but it depends on how many customers you have
off the bat. It's better to start a bit conservatively than to go
hog-wild and not make it cause you can't make your payroll.
> 4. Is it possible to rebuild FreeBSD offa the cdrom discs?
If you build a symlink tree off the CD, yes.
> (I wanna -O3 the whole sys)
No, you don't unless you have a compiler other than gcc to use. The
optimizer in gcc for the x86 line has lots of problems. Any
optimization level over -O has a higher chance of bugs. I avoid using
anything but the default optimization just for safety's sake, especially
if my livlihood was based on my machines being 'stable' and 'bug-free'.
> Is it already optimised?
Pretty much, although it will be nice if the GNU folks come out with a
version of their compiler with Pentium optimizations.
> And how much can I make in "one
> command" (as claims walnut creek cdrom co. "you can build the whole
> source tree in one command": what is considered the source tree?
The entire source tree, and I believe all of the ports can be made as
well, although it's not setup to do that automatically since most folks
don't have that kind of disk space lying around.
# cd /usr/src
# make world
[ Wait a couple days ]
The entire machine is completely re-built and installed from scratch
modulo the setup files in /etc and the kernel.
> apps too?)
The 'make world' w/out the source tree re-builds all of the binaries in
the base system.
> 5. Any good books on ISPing you recomend?
I think the market is so new, and the complexities so varied that a good
book couldn't be written yet.

Subject: Port of minicom?

X-Mailer: Forte Agent .99b.113
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org

Back in my days of using Linux, I got hooked on the MINICOM telecom
program that came with it. Mainly because, since I only have 8 MB of
memory, X ran really slowly, and for some reason, I find MINICOM's
user interface a lot nicer than Seyon's, and it's easier to configure,
etc.
Anyway, I attempted porting the latest version of Minicom 1.71 (the
latest version I could find), available at
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/comm/minicom-1.71.tar.gz. The
documentation CLAIMS that FreeBSD is supported, however I had to do
some (admittedly minor) code hacking (mainly the config.h and the
Makefile) to get it to compile right. And it works, but with several
(some minor, some major) exceptions:
1. Can't get any other key to work as the "meta" key, besides the
clunky <Ctrl-A> sequence. It would be nice to be able to hit <Alt-D>
to dial instead of <Ctrl-A> D. (Is this a limitation/incompatibility
with the FreeBSD console driver? And can it be fixed?)
2. Occasionally, the modem port (I'm using /dev/cuaa0) will "lock
up" and refuse to work. This usually happens when I start minicom,
and it tries initializing the modem; sometimes, it fails. Exiting and
re-running minicom usually clears this up. tty problem? am I using
the right /dev file? [My modem is an internal USR Sportster 28.8, and
it worked perefctly well under an identical setup, except running
LInux instead of FreeBSD.]
3. This is the major problem: I've configured my download
protocols (zmodem, in my case, since that's the only protocol I ever
use). Auto-downloading works fine... BUT, when the protocol exits
(i.e. the file transferred OK), MINICOM totally locks up -- the only
way to exit (and this is by no means a graceful exit) is to flip over
to another VC and 'kill -TERM' it. This is really annoying, to say
the least.
Anyway, is there a better port of minicom out there? (I didn't see
one in either /cdrom/packages or /cdrom/ports [Walnut Creek FreeBSD
2.0.5 release CD]). Does anyone even care? Am I the only one who
prefers using a text-based comm program to using Seyon under X? Is
the world coming to an end? [just kidding]
Please reply by the lists (probably freebsd-ports). Thanks!

It's just a warning. You can set maxusers to whatever and it will accept
it, but it gives a warning at 64. I plan to increase this to something more
sane in the future - like 500.

Are there any instructions anywhere about what I have to do to transition
from syscons (which I've always used) to pcvt? I have 4 virtual
consoles, 3 I use and one dedicated to X, and I am unhappy with the
screen termcap codes, so I thought to use pcvt (with it's vt220
emulation) instead.

I had X running fine under 2.0 ... but cannot seem to get the psm0 mouse to
work under 2.0.5
Is there a different configuration? I have checked the web pages and FAQs
and I do not see any changes. Can someone help me?

Reconfigure your kernel to use pcvt instead of syscons..
Is there any chance vt220 support is going to be added to syscons anyone?

It has been committed to -current, so it should show up in the next release

Helo,
There is an INGRES distribution in my WWW!
It is an source and binary dist.
I have recoded various parts of the system and is now
bug free (I hope). The equel processor now has "context sensitivity"
(now you can define a variable name more than once in the code).
It is imcompatible from the original version in the database files
(beware to export your dbs before installing it).
It can detect the enviroment (machine) you are compiling in
from a file calc.c in the directory source/conf/h.
the makefile (gnumake) builds the correct include files
based on the calculations of word size and struct padding.
The system installs on /usr/ingres......
The more, mail me.....
Lenzi.

Take a look, on the cdrom, for the usr/src directory. That's the whole
source to 2.0.5, and should go into /usr/src in exactly that form.

Hello,
I've been trying to get tip running with the 2.0.5
release. I've actually have it recognizing ttyd1 as a modem (I
think, however, when I dial up, it either tells me the link is
down or tip can't synchronize with the hayes. I'm I'm using a
hayes accura 14.4. I've tweaked the remote, modems files and
set them up the same way I've set them up for release 1.0. I
can't figuar out what the hell's going on. Tahnks in advance.

Unfortunately no.
You have to compile a new kernel, remove the comments from the following lines:
#device vt0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector pcrint
#options "PCVT_FREEBSD=210" # pcvt running on FreeBSD 2.0.5
#options XSERVER # include code for XFree86
And add a comment at the beginning of this line in your kernel config file:
device sc0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector scintr
Recompile and install the kernel generated from this config file.
The syscons specific boottime initialization which is normally done in
/etc/rc.i386 and /etc/sysconfig must be removed and pcvt specific boot-
time initialization may/must be configured, for an example of a pcvt
init file have a look at /usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/Misc/Etc/rc.local.
Also the file /etc/ttys must be edited to replace the cons25 keywords
with either vt220 and/or the pcvt-specific entries to be found in the
termcap database.
Have a look at the files and directories below /usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/Misc
for documentation on pcvt and have a look at the man pages for kcon(1),
scon(1), cursor(1), loadfont(1) and ispcvt(1).
In case you succeed with the conversation, i would appreciate it if you
send in the actual procedure for inclusion in the to be build pcvt-FAQ :-)
Hope this helps,
hellmuth

Funny you should mention this. :-) This is a battle I am somewhat
familiar with. (FreeBSD 2.0.5).
I've got a box I've thrown together here to be a small POP mail server.
(About two dozen users, UUCP feed for email).
About 80% of the time, from cold start, the EtherExpress (at 0x300, irq
10, all "fancy" features disabled) is incorrectly probed as a Mitsumi
CD-ROM controller. It seems more likely to probe correctly upon warm
start, for some reason, but the Mitsumi driver still incorrectly claims
the network interface an annoying large percentage of the time.
The obvious solution is to build a kernel without the Mitsumi driver, and
I'll do it eventually; but this is the only FreeBSD box I have around at
the moment (rest are BSDi), and it's got a whopping 4MB of RAM and a 200MB
HD. :-)

Do you think the problem might be that you don't have a POP server set up
on the FreeBSD box? You should have a line which is something like:
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/popper -s
in /etc/inetd.conf, and (obviously) a POP daemon installed on your machine.

OK, getting ready to work on the networking and can't find the card.
Is the 3Com 10BaseT EISA 579 Network card supported/usable?
Could I replace it with a 3Com 3C509? (It's true, I haven't
a clue the difference between ISA and EISA.)
[Uh, to expand on that: the operating system can't seem to find
the card. I can see the card and it's plugged in. Under DOS
the card worked.]
Thanks!
later, david

We always used to buy SMC 8013EPC cards. They have 16KB of ram.
Now SMC no longer ships these cards..They now have their etherEZ
cards. They only have 8KB's of ram. i am now asking myself what
if it is wise to buy some other card having about the same
price/performance ratio.
I'd like some advise on this..

While Eudora uses SMTP to talk to sendmail for sending mail, it uses the
POP protocal from retrieving mail from a mailbox on a Unix system. This
requires a POP server on said unix system. The most common POP server is
popper, but its buggy, with several version floating around with various
bugs fixed. I highly recommend the POP server that comes with Mark Crispin's
excellent IMAP package available from
ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/mail/*
(you probably want the 3.? beta version, which is actually release quality,
not the 4.0 alpha version).
Let me know if you have problems,
mark

You can disable the driver by booting with the '-c' option into the
UserConfig program. Once at the prompt, simply 'disable mcd0' and quit
out to continue the boot and you are all set!

You need to install a pop3 server on your FreeBSD machine. I'm sure you
may find popper already compiled somewhere on ftp.freebsd.org.

I've got an urgent question for the Network Guru's of FreeBSD.
I run an ISP using FreeBSD on our systems, and have noticed the occasional
peculiar problem involving user's SLIP and PPP connections on our terminal
server, a 486/66 running FreeBSD 2.1.0-950726-SNAP.
Here is a description of the problem:
>From time to time routing information appears to be LOST or thrown away.
This can happend at any time, at the start of a session, or 1 hour into a
dialup session.
I received a call from a user, he said that he could not contact our server
despite the fact that he was connected. His slip interface was connected
and properly configured.
sl2: flags=c011<UP,POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552
inet 199.84.157.3 --> 199.84.157.21 netmask 0xffffff00
I did a 'netstat -rn' only to see that his SLIP interface was not listed
in the table. I tried pinging his endpoint address '199.84.157.21',
and got no response. He indicated that his modem's lights were not
flashing.
I took down and deleted the slip interface using 'ifconfig sl2 down
delete'. I then reconfigured the interface using 'ifconfig sl2
199.84.157.3 199.84.157.21'.
I got the following message: 'ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists'.
How can that be? I again downed and deletedthe sl2 interface. I
reconfigured the interface with 'ifconfig sl2 199.84.157.3 199.84.157.254'.
I pinged the endpoint address(...254) and the remote modem's lights were
blinking. A good sign. Reconfiguring the interface back to its
original state (199.84.157.3 -> 199.84.157.21), I again got the message
'ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists'. I flushed the routing
tables using 'route flush' and still no luck. I did however get the message
'got only -1 for rlen'. I downed the slip interface and again flushed the
routing table, again I got the message 'got only -1 for rlen'. I
re-established the slip interface using 'ifconfig sl2 199.84.157.3
199.84.157.21', and it worked!!
Obviously somewhere along the line, the endpoint address '199.84.157.21'
got stuck in the routing table with some sort of 'dummy' entry that
netstat wouldn't print, or didn't see. Could the chains (if any) have
gotten corrupted? Since route flush did fix the problem when the interface
wasn't up, this indicated that 'route' could see the whole table whereas
'netstat' perhaps cannot?
Has anyone seen this problem, has it been fixed in a more recent version
of FreeBSD?
Any suggestions, would be greatly appreciated. As you can imagine, this
is a most frustrating problem!
Thanks!

You need to install a POP server on the FreeBSD machine.
See /usr/ports/mail/popper.

Well..
It happened. I accidentally did rm -f in /dev.
And in addition to killing all devices it removed MAKEDEV
itself. Any ideas? I think I need to create a boot floppy
but I can't find any instructions on it.
Please point me in the right direction.
Thanks a lot

The NCSA httpd version 1.4.2 compile without any major problem under FreeBSD
2.0.5. except you have to remove some extra spaces in the Makefile. Use the
following command to create the httpd.
make netbsd
Just make sure that the Makefile in the src directory contains the following
setting:
CC=gcc
CFLAGS= -O
AUXFLAGS= -DNETBSD
EXTRA_LIBS= -lcrypt
So, Have fun with you httpd and good luck!!!

Hi...
Quick question, but how does one upgrade from one release
to the next? I've checked through every FAQ I can find, and have
gone through all the postings in the newsgroups, to no avail.
I just started using FreeBSD, installed 2.0-RELEASE, and
want to move upwards.
Pointers to instructions, or a direct answer is much
appreciated...
Thanks...

Hello,
I'm considering loading FreeBSD 2.0.5 onto my laptop (Compaq LTE Elite.)
Has anyone tried this combination before ? Also, does FreeBSD 2.0.5
support any PCMCIA ethernets and/or modems ? Can I do the install via
such PCMCIA device ? (NFS install ?) Would I be able to run X on it ?
I only have a 210mb drive, 4mb RAM (upgrading to 8mb soon.)
A friend has Linux loaded nicely on his laptop and bugs me about it,
so... =)
Thanks,
-Ade

I have a 720K Drive and wish to install FreeBSD from disk. I noticed
the disk images you install with 'rawrite' are for 1.44MB Drives. I
was wondering if there was anyway to get a 720K installation disk Image.
I know 720K is sort of obsolete. But I just recently came into the money
to upgrade from my old XT. Ah what a computer the wonderful XT :)

Like many others I have a boot
problem.
System has a VLbus IDE controller, 2
drives. Primary is 540M and secondary
380M. 486DX 20M memory.
FDISK says slice is C356 - C1023,
which puts it under the limit. Setup
is 697 cylinders of 1053.
Boot message displays then |.
Tried loading to second hard drive and
using hd1,a with same results.
This system was running UNIXware 1.1.4
with both drives. Deleted NON DOS
partition and loaded 2.0.
Floppy runs fine, no other errors.
No diagnostics why it can't boot,
after all it starts the fails. No
bootmanager in use. Tried bootmanager
and results were the same
Tips? Pointer to FAQ? None seem to
apply to the problems currently
occurring.

Ah, Unixware had no trouble so I
assumed life was good.
My VLbus controller has Normal, Fast
and Turbo mode, obviously, Turbo gives
the best performance.
Works fine for loading Unixware,
FreeBSD, NOT.
The difference, Turbo and Fast us
32-bit VL-bus IO and new readmultiple
and write multiple commands supported
by certain new IDE drives. Yeah,
which drives?
Anyhow when running FreeBSD I boot
Normal mode and away it goes.
