First, I am running 2.2.6-release. I downloaded, compiled, and installed cvsup. I set up a supfile, and grabbed the source from it. However, I am not entirely confident that the source is what I want it to be (2.2.6 as opposed to 3.0), as when I ran this before it erased a good chunk of my ports directory (All the makefiles and so on.) So, with the below supfile, will I have a stable version of the -release code, or will it be 3.0? And how can I check my ports tree with the latest available for 2.2.6?

Then set up second server on them (version 2.2.6-RELEASE) and remembered the netmask thing and had the os installed over the net, kernel re-built and rockin in under an hour. Then I tried setting up a server(version 2.2.6) at anouther provider and spent 3 day's listining to how the set-up should work, and basically knowing how FBSD's error messages corrispond to actual problems, I finally told them that they needed to give me the correct gateway number. They apperently was giving me the gateway number of a different set-up. Mind you, Window's NT and other OS's like Linux and stuff could use that gateway (and they showed me to prove it), but FBSD is REAL picky about the mubers that you give it. Particuarly I have found with the gateway's use the first 3 numbers they give you as a IP number and use 1 as the forth (ie. ?.?.?.1). Don't know if that is correct, but from all the set-up's I've seen, that seems to be a safe starting point, that and 255.255.255.0 is a safe starting point for netmask.

(Saludos) In case you didn't receive a direct answer from anyone (I didn't check the "-hackers" list) allow me to do it. [below is my personal opinion] Indeed, any relationship with the industry that leads FreeBSD to be better known by ppl is good and we look foward it. Apple - which lives in my heart, sharing space w/ FreeBSD (I work w/ a PMAC for graphics) - will be very welcome to our group, not only as a company, but its staff, as individulas are very welcome too. Now, this list you wrote to is a list where ppl make question and solve problems. The ppl who can officially welcome you as Apple's representative are the guys from hackers@freebsd.org. Your email was FWDed to that list by Sean Harding , and I believe soon you will be receiving a response. Best regards, and one more time, be welcome.

And I went through the installation options and that is not one of them. All it has is novice, custom, and expert installations. All do pretty much the same and take you right into fdisk. There is no option in fdisk to change disk. I've even tried pressing every key on the keyboard in fdisk, thinking maybe its just not listed...It's so weird, any suggestions?

Well, it's kind of well hidden (i.e., amazingly poorly worded) in man 5 crontab: The format of a cron command is very much the V7 standard, with a number of upward-compatible extensions. Each line has five time and date fields, followed by a user name (with optional ``:'' and ``/'' suffixes) if this is the system crontab file, followed by a command. -- Steve Farrell To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Apr 5 07:28:13 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id HAA25030 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 5 Apr 1998 07:28:13 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from bartman.ic.sunysb.edu (bartman.ic.sunysb.edu [129.49.12.170]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id HAA25001 for ; Sun, 5 Apr 1998 07:28:09 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jsabella@ic.sunysb.edu) Received: from ic.sunysb.edu (as4-23.dialup.sunysb.edu [129.49.81.29]) by bartman.ic.sunysb.edu (8.8.7/8.8.3) with ESMTP id KAA00451; Sun, 5 Apr 1998 10:28:01 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <352794E6.6189D6BD@ic.sunysb.edu> Date: Sun, 05 Apr 1998 10:27:50 -0400 From: Jason Sabella X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 [en] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Doug White , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: New information...

Since like I said in my last message it was reading the zip disk, I figured I would remove the zip disk and see what would happen. I did, and went to install FreeBSD. Right before the screen where it usually goes to fdisk, it instead said: "NO DISKS FOUND! Please verify that your disk conroller is being properly probed at boot time. See the Hardware Guide on the Documentation menu for clues in diagnosing this type of problem" Well, I did that. And I checked to see if there were any conflicts with anything called "disk controller" in the kernel config, and there aren't. Also, I saw in the doc that wdc# things have to do with disk controllers. So I watched the screen at boot up, and it says: wdc0 not found at 0x1f0 wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa I don't know what that means, but maybe it will help. Please tell me any suggestions so that it will read my hdd. Thank you..Jason Sabella --- Doug White wrote: > > On Fri, 3 Apr 1998, Jason Sabella wrote: > > > Hi Doug.

I had read the line you list below in man 5 crontab concerning the system crontab. What is hidden well is that you don't have to do anything (ie. crontab crontab) to activate the system crontab.

The system crontab is working fine with no error messages. Not to beat a dead horse but what I wanted to clarify for any others that are reading these is: For the system crontab (using your numbering): [1] DO NOT crontab crontab from root to activate the system crontab. This will only activate a crontab for the root user not the system crontab. [2] edit /etc/crontab and restart the cron process (ie. kill -1 PID). /etc/crontab is the system crontab and loads when cron is started. If I'm wrong please correct me, otherwise thanks again.

RTFM :) From cron(8): Additionally, cron checks each minute to see if its spool directory's modtime (or the modtime on /etc/crontab) has changed, and if it has, cron will then examine the modtime on all crontabs and reload those which have changed. Thus cron need not be restarted whenever a crontab file is modified. ^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ SEE ALSO crontab(1), crontab(5) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack O'Neill Systems Administrator / Systems Analyst jack@germanium.xtalwind.net Crystal Wind Communications, Inc.

I have the Gateway 2000 G6266 with the 6.4GIG hdd and the Promise Ultra DMA like you had said. I'm not sure if you saw some older messages of mine, but I'm trying to install it onto the empty 2.1 GIGS at the end of the disk(The first 2.1 GIGS is for DOS's C partition and the middle 2.1 GIGS is for DOS's D partition). But anyways, FreeBSD can't read the controller. When I go to install FreeBSD from the CD-ROM, I run install.bat, which executes the line: fbsdboot.exe -D kernel You had said to add the -current parameter, but it doesn't recognize such a parameter. Is this where you wanted me to type it in or is it somewhere else? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I got so fed up with Microsoft I decided to turn my desktop machine at work in to an X workstation.

Humm.. well, I just used 'mknod' to create it and it made X happy, no big deal.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Dear Sirs, I am presently contemplating a change of operating system on my personal computer. My system configuration, at present is this: Intel 386-dx40 (yes I know, I should update that), 8 mb ram, 900mb hard drive on two physical units, Cardinal MVP33I 33.6 modem with internal V-42, Trident 8900d video card with 1mb ram. I'm presently using DOS 6.22 and Win3.1 with a modest complement of programs, mostly used for word processing and ppp dialout to the internet. Now, this won't be your typical BSD type installation as far as I can tell from reading your on-line documentation. What I need to set up is the ability to access this system remotely, preferably while I'm using it locally. I also need something like Unix permissions to keep people out of the places I want them kept out of . The system will not, however be connected to a network. Internet access will be as it is now via ppp dialout. There are, however, two complications: 1) My $#@^ modem is plug and play programmed for i/o port every time I reboot my system. While this will survive most warm boots, it will not survive a hard reset. The problem is that the "PNPSET" utility I use under DOS does not have a BSD, LINUX, or whatever equivalent. This means the only way I can presently activate my modem is by booting into DOS. My requests for information about how this works have gone unanswered by Cardinal itself, and I can't seem to find anyone who knows that that little proggy actually does. (There is a win95 appi for this too, but they are just as secretive about it.) 2) Once in DOS it would be necessary to jump to BSD. Preferably through a simple command like "GOBSD" that can be entered at the dos prompt. I do not want my second OS to actually run "under" DOS, but I will need to be able to start it from DOS. 3) It may be occasionally necessary to exit BSD and return to DOS for various tasks. So I will need something like a "GODOS" command that can be executed under BSD. I realize that BSD can run text mode DOS programs now, but I will neeed to completely exit BSD and return to dos on occasion. Any information you can give me about getting this working would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance...

And for a point-to-point connection that is normally what you want. A host route to the far end. Doesn't work with ethernet though :( Not sure how wide dhcp handles this, but with the ISC dhcp client you can specify over-riding values in the client configuration file. ie supersede subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; Wide probably has a similar option, if it doesn't give ISC a try.

None of my IDE cables has more than two connectors on it, and I'm wondering if this is because of a limitation in IDE itself; is it safe to drive three devices from a single controller?

The box is a 233 MMX Pentium, w/ 32MB of RAM, 3GB of IDE disk (ST33232A) on the first controller, and a CDROM and ZIP drive as the primary and slave devices on the second controller. The graphics card is a 4MB S3d ViRGE/DX. The sound card is an ESS Technology ES1869 PnP AudioDrive. The modem is a ComWave V.34PNP Data/Fax/Voice (not my choices, but I've got to work with them). Both the soundcard and modem are PnP, the other devices aren't. The motherboard is an ABIT PX5. The 2.2.2, 2.2.5 and 2.2.6 boot floppies probe and find the hard disk, CDROM and Zip drives without a problem. The sound card and modem are ignored, but I'm not surprised by that. When booting from the 2.2.2 or 2.2.5 floppy, the probes happen, and then the last three lines printed are: Changing root device to fd0c rootfs is 1440 Kbyte compiled in MFS /stand/sysinstall running as init (the first two are kernel messages, i.e., bold white, the last one isn't, full output available on request). The screen then clears, the block cursor goes to the bottom left corner and sits there. Nothing else happens. When booting from the 2.2.6 boot floppy, the first of the three lines above is intel Pentium F00F detected, installing workaround but the others are the same. Then the familiar blue screen and dialog comes up with Probing devices, please wait... And then it hangs. So far I've tried: - Turning off all caching and shadowing in the BIOS. No effect. - Booting from the 2.2.5 CDROM, instead of floppy. No effect. - Disabling all non-pertinent devices (network cards etc) vs. leaving them in. No effect. - Disabling sio0-3 on the offchance it was a conflict with the S£ card. No effect. - Trying both "flags npx0 0x1" and "flags npx0 0x7" (as seen in a couple of messages in the mailing list archives). No effect. - Pulling out the modem and sound cards on the off chance they were conflicting in some way. No effect. - Turning on the "PCI 2.1 Compliance" option in the BIOS (an Award BIOS, if that makes any difference). No effect. - Thump machine. No effect, but I feel less stressed. - Deciding that this is all too much hassle, and going out for a curry. No effect, but I feel less hungry. I've worked my way through the mailing list archives and the web site search. I turn up hits from people who have these things working, but nothing from anyone having problems getting them to install. The boot floppies/CDROM have no problem running sysinstall if I put them in my P200 ASUS motherboard machine, so it's not the installation media. During the week I'm going to try and lay my hands on a boot floppy for one of Linux/NetBSD/OpenBSD just to see if they get any further, which might at least assist the diagnoses. Other than that, any and all suggestions for other avenues of exploration gratefully appreciated. Oh yeah. Needless to say, DOS/Win95 works :-( N -- Work: nik@iii.co.uk | FreeBSD + Perl + Apache Rest: nik@nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk | Remind me again why we need Play: nik@freebsd.org | Microsoft?

I built it on a 2.2.6-STABLE/lesstif-current system, P100, 32MB. First thing is to make sure you have plenty of free disk space. I've heard the debug build expands to 2 or 4 hundred MB. If you dont have that kind of space handy gmake will eventually spit back a weird error that doesnt necessarily have anything to do with the actual sources. Do what I did and set BUILD_OPT=1 in your environment. This will build without debugging info. All this is documented in the README, incidentally. lesstif ======= I built lesstif-current instead of lesstif-0.83. I imagine mozilla is going to be responsible for daily diffs against the lesstif code so I decided it would be best to bookmark lesstif.org and start with a clean code base. I downloaded the lesstif-0.83 port. In the Makefile I changed DISTNAME to lesstif-current and added --enable-static to the CONFIGURE_ARGS line. Mozilla will *not* build if it cannot find libXm.a patch-ai and PLIST need to be edited. One or two additional manpages are built and need to be installed. Sorry, I did all this in the spirit of random hackery without bothering to make diffs. In any case, you can safely delete patch-ai and ignore PLIST since it only affects the location and installation of one or two man pages. Nuke the files directory because obviously the MD5 signature of lesstif-0.83 and lesstif-current will differ. make make install worked for me. mozilla ======= Set up your environment as documented in the README. I used eivind's port (URL somebody?

I built it on a 2.2.6-STABLE/lesstif-current system, P100, 32MB. First thing is to make sure you have plenty of free disk space. I've heard the debug build expands to 2 or 4 hundred MB. If you dont have that kind of space handy gmake will eventually spit back a weird error that doesnt necessarily have anything to do with the actual sources. Do what I did and set BUILD_OPT=1 in your environment. This will build without debugging info. All this is documented in the README, incidentally. lesstif ======= I built lesstif-current instead of lesstif-0.83. I imagine mozilla is going to be responsible for daily diffs against the lesstif code so I decided it would be best to bookmark lesstif.org and start with a clean code base. I downloaded the lesstif-0.83 port. In the Makefile I changed DISTNAME to lesstif-current and added --enable-static to the CONFIGURE_ARGS line. Mozilla will *not* build if it cannot find libXm.a patch-ai and PLIST need to be edited. One or two additional manpages are built and need to be installed. Sorry, I did all this in the spirit of random hackery without bothering to make diffs. In any case, you can safely delete patch-ai and ignore PLIST since it only affects the location and installation of one or two man pages. Nuke the files directory because obviously the MD5 signature of lesstif-0.83 and lesstif-current will differ. make make install worked for me. mozilla ======= Set up your environment as documented in the README. I used eivind's port (URL somebody? This is so embarassing) and applied the mozilla (not lesstif) patches found at ftp://165.247.176.84/pub/mozilla/. gmake (The README documents gmake -k but gmake is probably a better idea unless you tee the output somewhere else and dont mind uselessly building beyond any errors.)

"-current" is not a parameter for you to type in, it is the "bleeding edge" version of FreeBSD. It's not too difficult to switch to -current; however, you need to decide if you really want to. I suppose if that's the only place for Promise Ultra33 support, then you don't have much choice other than to give up on the Ultra DMA (I'm not sure if that's supported outside of -current either). Read the Handbook section on "Staying Current" carefully (Since you're sending e-mail, I'm assuming you can get the FreeBSD docs either on a CD or at the web site). Also read any other stuff on -current and "making the world" that you can find. Believe the warnings!! Just in the past few weeks people running current have had file systems hosed because of bugs that sneak in. One possibility that's somewhat safer is to upgrade to an old -current instead of a new one (**man cvsup** you can specify the date of the sources you want). I installed sources from Feb 26 and they seem to be OK; however, I am not what you would call a power user. I started to use -current out of curiosity--like a kid who has to touch the burner because he doesn't his parents when they tell hime it's hot. I'm posting back to the list so that others who have advice on using current can chime in. Good luck.

Moving /var to /usr/var may not be such a great idea since in the default setup /var is it's own partition.

I would suggest mounting that partition elsewhere, like on /tmp. Modify /etc/fstab and change the reference to /var to /tmp, and reboot.

Please refer to the SDT-5000/5200 Jumper Setting document. A FAX copy of the SDT- 5000/5200 Jumper Settings document can be obtained by calling the Sony FAX Retrieval System at 1-800-883-7669, document 5761. That might explain `DC Disable'. I'm tempted to think `Data Compression Disable'. `Terminator Power' selects the source of terminator power; it should be set to come from the SCSI Bus.

A few days ago my ppp problem was solved. It turned out the I/O card in my computer was too slow and couldn't communicate to the modem properly. I now have a new, faster card installed and things have been working without any errors whatsoever. Anyway, now that the gateway is back up, I seem to have a problem running certain chat programs from my Windows machine, which is now getting its internet access from my unix box via an IP alias. In particular I have been using ICQ and Speak Freely; both of which work properly when I get my internet access directly from the Windows machine itself. For ease of reading I have divided this quesiton into two parts to deal with the two programs respectively: ICQ: I am able to establish chat sessions only if I initiate them. Otherwise I will receive the request and click 'accept', but can't get any further than that. Also, instant messages from other users must be sent through the ICQ server (as if I'm offline), otherwise, the message "can't establish direct connection to user" is displayed. Speak Freely: The individual I'm talking to can hear me, but I can't hear them. I can see the RD light on my modem busy, but these signals are not being passed on to my voice machine. I'm sure these problems are connected somehow. I added the necessary ports to /etc/services in hopes that this would end the problem, but no luck . I've also tried "alias deny_incoming no" at the ppp prompt. Any thoughts ? Thanks, Andrew Stevens.

Boot from the DOS disk and run fdisk /MBR. This will clear the MBR of LILO. Then try to install booteasy from the CDROM. Boot Linux from the boot floppy and install LILO on the Linux root partition and make the Linux root partition bootable. This should make the Linux partition visable to boot easy. Will have a closer look at this later.

It started when I changed the name of /dev/wda0 trying to upgrade to 2.2.6. Anyways if someone can tell me what to do to get my new kernel built with 2.2.6 src regarding this hard drive thing I would appreciate that. Ok this is what I did rebooted the system kernel.old did fsck -p did mount -o rw -u /etc ***** instead of mount -u / ***** got error messages but so what !!! mount -a -t ufs swapon -a cd /etc vi fstab ***** note when id did df it showed /dev/wda0 ...etc .. / ****** Since the 2.2.6 upgrade is what started this and ******* maybe it may happen to others more often maybe this information may help someone else. ******** Had to blink twice to see if the fixit and boot floppies were really sitting on my desk. They were ? Anyways I diddled with the information that I got off the archives. must of tried for hours to get this to work. Got a piece of information here and piece of information there. I'm still not sure what and if the exact steps are that fixed the problem if it was mounting /etc or if it was booting kernel.old If I were more of a technical person I would write up information on using the fixit floppie. I couldn't find anything regards to that. I'm happy now that my system is back up and running. I really have to work on understanding how to get my tapedrive working. I have one but haven't worked on that yet. That and my soundcard are my next projects.....or next to my next projects. Would appreciate any info that would help me boot my new kernel 2.2.6 build !

They also use a lot of bleeding edge stuff that has caused numerous problems in compilling applications and getting the system stable. Have a look at their eratta lists. Using leading edge technology is fine in and of itself. However there should be some way for the user to decide whether or not they want to bear the risks associated with it. Red hat doesn't give you that choice. With FreeBSD you have the choice to use bleeding edge or stable operating system technology. Is FreeBSD better that RedHat 5.0 or any other Linux distribution? Obviously some of us believe that it is. I am not technically qualified to present the technical reason why FreeBSD is better. FreeBSD is UNIX -- whether that term can be applied or not. That is a trademark ownership issue, however FreeBSD id BSD UNIX in every sense of the work. Linux is a UNIX clone that use at lot of weird System V init stuff. RedHAt in particular has taken this to the limit in my not so humble opinion. None of this is to say that Linux is bad, just that in my opinion there are better choices available. FreeBSD will run Linux apps just fine -- no performance hit involved. FreeBSD has a central development team, Linux id more or less developed by commitee. Yes there is one individual that looks after the Linux Kernel, but the kernel is not an operating system. I have already stepped way over the flame boundry. Questions such as this always run that risk. The best advice is to try them both and use the one that works best for you. Personally, I have both installed, but rarely use Linux compared to FreeBSD. FreeBSD works best for me for many reasons, stability, availability and ease of installation of user apps, run Linux apps, and most of all it is very easy to upgrade and keep the current rev levels on my system. One last suggestion. If you wish to try a great linux distribution -- which I use and recommend over RedHat -- is go to www.suse.com and give that distribution a hard look. It has a lot going for it that makes it superior to RedHat. Hope that this helps. And yes I do use FreeBSd cuz it's better.

Then an ex-doshead-freebsd-fellow stopped over to help me get booteasy working. Yeah, we did exactly what you were thinking of, Frank: `fdisk \MBR' and add booteasy. Wound up hosing my system all the more. ((Suggest that BootEasy be somewhere in /usr/src or /usr/bin, guys. *Hint, hint.* It was a bear to find and install and it evidently was done incorrecly.)) The problem(s), whatever they were, made me realize that life is too short. At this writing, 2.2.5 is reinstalling on all 3 SCSI drives. So my 6x86 box with ~10G of disk is going to be a hell of a machine. This fall I'm going to add drives to _this_ P90 box.

This strangeness is illustrated in the shell output below. I should mention this is with the lpd/lp* from 3.0-971208-SNAP. May be something has been fixed since then.

All of these problems are due to a unintentional firewall created by the gateway machine. I experience it myself and take full advantage of it. These services open sockets on your Windows machine which are linked to the programs, which act as servers. With a BSD box, these sockets aren't opened until you use a proxy. The good part is that your LAN cannot be seen from the internet without a proxy. So when you regulate the gateway (using ppp's packet filters or ipfw) you firewall the access methods to the LAN. Anything that comes from the internet to the LAN has to pass throught some form of proxy or gateway. -- Kris Kirby ------------------------------------------- TGIFreeBSD... 'Nuff said.

It's a 3Com 900 Combo card - and guess what... it's a PnP jumperless card. Can you say trash? :) I removed the card and I thought I was off scott free... but I then got weird results from the secondary IDE controller. Here's my current setup: wdc0 Primary master: IBM 8.5GB IDE Primary slave: not used wdc1 Secondary master: ATAPI CD-Rom Secondary slave: not used It detects the IBM hard disk with no problems, but then it tries to detect wdc1 and all goes down hill from there. The screen goes blank except for a flashing cursor in the lower-left hand corner... after a few minutes the screen blinks and a beep is heard, but nothing changes (screen still blank). It just sits there and does nothing... I can get into the install routine if I disable wdc1 in the initial kernel config, but I need wdc1 to access the CD-Rom (and install from the CD). At this point I *think* I'm logically suspecting the CD-Rom (not the controller), and would like to know if anyone else has had problems with (or used at all...) the Toshiba XM-6102B 24x drive. Just wanting some ideas... I think I'll try removing the drive and enabling the contoller just to see if I get the lock up or not... that should give me enough to do for the night. I suppose I could also try setting the CD-Rom drive up as primary slave... ;) Oh... and... what's the general consensus (yeah, right!) on the best NIC and CD-Rom drive for FreeBSD? :) TIA --- Mike Hoskins Kettering University SEI Data Network Services, Inc.

This probably relates to your /etc/ttys file, which usually contains: ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure # Virtual terminals ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure I'm guessing that you've turned ttyv3 from 'off' to 'on'. X needs one to run the display in, so it will then go looking for ttyv4. The GENERIC kernel has 12 virtual terminals, but only four device nodes. I've entered a PR. In the meantime, you can fix it by running # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV vty Greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Apr 5 18:57:31 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id SAA24041 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 5 Apr 1998 18:57:31 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from shell6.ba.best.com (jkb@shell6.ba.best.com [206.184.139.137]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id SAA23993 for ; Sun, 5 Apr 1998 18:57:17 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jkb@best.com) Received: from localhost (jkb@localhost) by shell6.ba.best.com (8.8.8/8.8.BEST) with SMTP id SAA17883 for ; Sun, 5 Apr 1998 18:57:17 -0700 (PDT) X-Authentication-Warning: shell6.ba.best.com: jkb owned process doing -bs Date: Sun, 5 Apr 1998 18:57:16 -0700 (PDT) From: Jan Koum X-Sender: jkb@shell6.ba.best.com To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: "Read error" part II Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi all, Same problem, different machine.

Hope someone can help. After mounting the fixit floppy, you should be able to run fsck against your disk partitions and then mount them on /mnt. Assuming you have your root partition on /dev/sd0s1a and your /usr partition on /dev/sd0s1e, you'd do: # fsck -y /dev/rsd0s1a # fsck -y /dev/rsd0s1e # mount /dev/rsd0s1a /mnt # mount /dev/rsd0s1e /mnt/usr # TERM=cons25 export TERM # vi /mnt/etc/fstab You'll probably need to mount /usr as well in order to run vi. You may also have to set your TERM environment variable.

You must read more than just that one page. At the bottom of that page there is a 'next' link. Follow it as well. dos is synonymous with win95 in this discussion. In a nutshell: To install with dos and freebsd on one disk you must have a seperate partition available for both dos and freebsd. When you do the install by booting with the boot floppy you then choose where on your disk freebsd will go. You put freebsd on the partition that does not have dos on it. If you try to put freebsd into the partition where dos is, you will loose all of your dos info. FreeBSD will be on one partition. Dos will be on the other. When you boot, you will be given a choice of which one you want to use. Read all of this as well. http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ20.html#20 http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook19.html#21 You simply cannot use unix with zero experience, if you do not like to read.

Everything has worked fine for several months until Friday when my ISP changed the netmask sent from the dhcp server to 255.255.255.255. My system (2.2.5R) quickly stopped talking to the internet. I get No route to host messages and when I try to add a route I get Network is unreachable. To make it work I manually change the netmask to 255.255.255.0, add the route, and it's fine...until the dhcp client renews and the mask gets set back. OK...I have a work-around...I can hack the dhcp client to ignore the netmask or use the ISC client. Here's the question...should this netmask work? They claim it works fine on Windoze. The goal is to force all traffic on the dsl subnet to go thru the router so that dsl users can send traffic to each other (I don't care about that but others do, apparently). Is there something in the FBSD IP stack that chokes on it or is it something in my configuration? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If it is only you, then something is going on that is eating up that space. Are you storing files in '/var'? You should not. The same goes for '/'.

Because you stated you were "new" to FreeBSD I jumped to a conclusion. Here is one consideration.

I think I wiped out a disk label X-Mailer: VM 6.34 under 20.3 "Vatican City" XEmacs Lucid Mime-Version: 1.0 (generated by tm-edit 7.108) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I just did an fdisk -f without specifying the drive name, and it wrote a new label to the wrong drive (oops). I don't have a copy of the fdisk for that drive, or I'd just rewrite it. The machine seems to be running just fine even the the label is totally wrong, so I know that the system somewhere knows where at least two of the slices are located, but I figure that I won't be able to reboot. Is there any way for me to extract the real locations so that I don't have to reload FreeBSD, Win95 and WinNT (fortunately, everything was backed up this afternoon, so I wouldn't lose anything except about 3-5 hours for the restores). Also, and the reason why I messed up in the first place, I'm getting: Apr 6 00:02:13 zuhause /kernel: sd4: cannot find label (no disk label) Apr 6 00:02:13 zuhause /kernel: sd4s2: cannot find label (no disk label) in the syslog and disklabel reports: disklabel: ioctl DIOCWDINFO: No space left on device on two of three identical drives. Any ideas on where I should go from here? The drives are basic empty, so it wouldn't be a major deal to recreate the partition tables with NT's disk adminstrator, if that would be the easiest solution.

I am trying to install on a Pentium II 300, with an IBM disk drive, Diamond Stealth Graphics card, ensoniq sound card. The system boots up off the CD and after the first screen with the option to change the kernel and then to continue boot, the system appears to discover the hardware but I am then left with a blank screen with just a flashing, large block cursor in the bottom left corner. Anyone see the same/know why ? The same happens when trying the install from dos, or with a floppy.

I am running freebsd 2.1 and have recently installed a new sound card, a soundblaster 16 OEM "Plug & Pray". I am using the VoxWare drivers version 3.0-950506. I have compiled in sound support in the kernel, and ensured that all the devices exist in /dev. The card is being recognized during boot up, but I cannot get it to consistently play sounds. Apparently, I have not prayed enough for "Plug&Pray" to work.:-) The symptoms are: 1. if I cat a .au file to /dev/audio, it plays for about 1 second, and then locks, the cat command does not exit. 2. If I use rplayd, with a rplay command on a sound file, it plays for about 0.1 seconds, and then rplayd returns an error, "Interrupted system call", and loops forever. I have tried various IRQ/DRQ combinations. I have had limited success using IRQ 2/9. With this, sound files play through to the end, but the sound is scrambled. If I boot to Windows 3.1, the card seems to work fine. I have another machine, which uses a non-plug&pray card, different motherboard, but all works fine, as far as I can tell, the setup is identical as far as I/O, IRQ, etc. Here are the details on the problem machine. The Mother board is manufactured by "TUV product service" and uses the Intel 430TX chip set. Here is the boot up log, which will show the detailed config Apr 5 18:46:41 teknodog /kernel.new: FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Apr 5 18:44:54 EDT1998 Apr 5 18:46:41 teknodog /kernel.new: root@teknodog:/usr/src/sys/compile/siopatch Apr 5 18:46:41 teknodog /kernel.new: CPU: 167-MHZ Pentium (Pentium-class CPU) Apr 5 18:46:41 teknodog /kernel.new: Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x543 Stepping=3 Apr 5 18:46:41 teknodog /kernel.new: Features=0x8001bf Apr 5 18:46:41 teknodog /kernel.new: real memory = 33554432 (32768K bytes) Apr 5 18:46:41 teknodog /kernel.new: avail memory = 30752768 (30032K bytes) Apr 5 18:46:41 teknodog /kernel.new: Probing for devices on the ISA bus: Apr 5 18:46:42 teknodog /kernel.new: sc0 at 0x60-0x6f irq 1 on motherboard Apr 5 18:46:42 teknodog /kernel.new: sc0: VGA color <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x0> Apr 5 18:46:42 teknodog /kernel.new: sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa Apr 5 18:46:42 teknodog /kernel.new: sio0: type 16450 Apr 5 18:46:42 teknodog /kernel.new: sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa Apr 5 18:46:42 teknodog /kernel.new: sio1: type 16450 Apr 5 18:46:42 teknodog /kernel.new: lpt0 at 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa Apr 5 18:46:42 teknodog /kernel.new: lpt0: Interrupt-driven port Apr 5 18:46:42 teknodog /kernel.new: lp0: TCP/IP capable interface Apr 5 18:46:42 teknodog /kernel.new: lpt1 at 0x278-0x27f on isa Apr 5 18:46:43 teknodog /kernel.new: pca0 on motherboard Apr 5 18:46:43 teknodog /kernel.new: pca0: PC speaker audio driver Apr 5 18:46:43 teknodog /kernel.new: fdc0 at 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa Apr 5 18:46:43 teknodog /kernel.new: fdc0: NEC 72065B Apr 5 18:46:43 teknodog /kernel.new: fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in Apr 5 18:46:43 teknodog /kernel.new: wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa Apr 5 18:46:43 teknodog /kernel.new: wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): Apr 5 18:46:44 teknodog /kernel.new: wd0: 1623MB (3324384 sectors), 3298 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S Apr 5 18:46:44 teknodog /kernel.new: wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa Apr 5 18:46:44 teknodog /kernel.new: wdc1: unit 0 (atapi): , removable, intr, dma, iordis Apr 5 18:46:44 teknodog /kernel.new: npx0 on motherboard Apr 5 18:46:44 teknodog /kernel.new: npx0: INT 16 interface Apr 5 18:46:44 teknodog /kernel.new: sb0 at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 on isa Apr 5 18:46:44 teknodog /kernel.new: sb0: Apr 5 18:46:44 teknodog /kernel.new: sbxvi0 at 0x0 drq 6 on isa Apr 5 18:46:44 teknodog /kernel.new: sbxvo0: Apr 5 18:46:45 teknodog /kernel.new: sbmidi0 not found at 0x330 Apr 5 18:46:45 teknodog /kernel.new: opl0 at 0x388 on isa Apr 5 18:46:45 teknodog /kernel.new: opl0: Apr 5 18:46:45 teknodog /kernel.new: Probing for devices on the PCI bus: Apr 5 18:46:45 teknodog /kernel.new: pci0:0: Intel Corporation, device=0x7100, class=bridge (host) [no driver assigned] Apr 5 18:46:45 teknodog /kernel.new: pci0:7: Intel Corporation, device=0x7110, class=bridge (isa) [no driver assigned] Apr 5 18:46:45 teknodog /kernel.new: vga0 rev 69 int a irq 10 on pci0:10 Apr 5 18:46:42 teknodog lpd[88]: restarted Apr 5 18:46:49 teknodog /kernel.new: lpt0 switched to polled mode As seen in the boot up sequence, the card is being recognized, but is not functioning correctly afterward.

I've tried setting group to 0(wheel) and using the log in class root, staff and everything else I can think of in every combination. when I try it always says We use sudo port to let users run commands as root. it's one of the ports. this way you don't need to tell them the root password. Every action is logged into the /var/log/messages and there are some other precausions i think, like you can't delete root, etc. Access to sudo command is controlled by the file: sudoers. regards, Val.

Cc: FreeBSD Hardware Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I just acquired a BrookTree 848 based TV capture card. It appears to be a clone; it just says "TV Capturer" on the box, with no apparent manufactuer, etc. But it definitely uses the Bt848 chip, I can see it plain as day on the board. And FreeBSD does recognize it: bktr0 rev 18 int a irq 10 on pci0:10:0 Miro TV, Temic NTSC tuner. In any case, I got the driver compiled, and the fxtv port compiled and working. I can successfully view the TV tuner output in a window on my screen. However, when that window is visible (i.e. not hidden behind any other windows), it causes the rest of my screen to become garbled, so that all windows (xterms, my Netscape browser, etc.) become virtually unreadable. If the window is hidden behind another, nothing gets garbled. The same thing happens when I use the Windows software that came with the card. Any ideas as to what's going on here, and how to fix it? Here, in brief, are the details of my system: Pentium 133, motherboard based on VIA VP 586 Apollo chipset, Creative Labs Graphics Blaster MA202 with 2 MB VRAM (Cirrus Logic CL-GD5446). Other cards in system include Adaptec AHA-2940AU PCI SCSI controller, ISA NE-2000 ethernet clone, USR Sportster 56K modem, Sound Blaster ViBRA16C PnP sound card. Another problem I'm having is that, occasionally, the card gets really confused, and it thinks that it's a PAL card instead of an NTSC card: bktr0 rev 18 int a irq 10 on pci0:10:0 Miro TV, Philips PAL I tuner.

Set it to something like 3001 to 3010. It'll complain that that's too narrow, but works OK for me. Then in FreeBSD, tell it to direct any TCP packets coming in on 3001-3010 to the Windows machine. You also need outgoing UDP on Port 4000. Then just set another range for each machine that you want to use.

Now Netscape's Marc Andreessen hints at combining his company's browser with Linux to compete against NT.

You might check if your router can do this already. You want to put the machine in where all traffic will go through, which in this case would be between the router & hub.

Take the ZIP drive out; it's a known problem. For some reason it makes sysinstall hang. It should work once the system is installed. You'll want to install the kernel source so you can rebuild a kernel with the zip device (wfd0).

DePalma" Subject: Filespace allocation Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have installed fbsd 2.2.5 from floppies on my old 386. The master drive is 200 MB with a small DOS partition and the rest partitioned for fbsd. The second drive is 540 MB with a single fbsd partition. In allocating space on the small drive, I used the automatic setting so that the system established the size of /, /var and swap. The rest (89 MB) was assigned to /usr. But as such I can't assign /usr to the larger drive. Or, if I do, the smaller drive is left with 89 MB of unused space. At present, I don't intend to use this installation for networking. I am merely trying to learn a new and well-known os. I may want to be an X-user at some point, but for now I'm tired of GUI's. I would appreciate info on the optimum filespace allocation for each drive. Given the suggestion, I think that I can handle the actual setup OK. TIA.

I backed up my spool dir and, one by one, started removing files, restarting lpd, and seeing whether printing would work. The culprit seemed to be the "lock" file in the "lp" and "text" queue directories. Each of them had only a single line in them with a number on it (the process ID of the job, it looks like). E.g.: 1138 However, when I toasted the file and let lpd recreate it when a job was printed to that queue, I got: 1377 cfA000stealth Which lpd was much happier with (the queue was enabled for that and subsequent lpd starts [rather than always disabled], and the jobs sent to that queue would print). I guess these old lock files might have come from my last FreeBSD 2.2.1 version, and the behavior of the 3.0 lpd seems to be to just refuse to enable a queue when the lock file isn't of the right format.

To wire up, for example, a small office, there are many programs to install and configure, and if you don't get them just right, the whole thing fails to work. Each application has its own installation procedures and requirements. Documentation is generally poor and scattered. Here's a scenario: suppose you want to wire up a new CD store so that the cash registers all send transaction reports to a single server that generates a journal tape that the (off network) inventory database analyzes at the end of the day. To me, that sounds like a job that should take perhaps 2-4 hours, if the cable has already been installed -- loading standard software onto the machines, perhaps setting a few parameters, and double checking to make sure everything works. But with freeware: ok, I'll look into Emacs modes and Tcl/Tk scripts for cash registers while you install Linux everywhere and configure the net; we'll meet back here in a couple of days. I think the best "strategy for expanding the acceptance of popular freeware" is simply to identify a whole bunch of similar scenarios and create "pre-fab" solutions for them. For example, it might be a good idea to publish (compatible) CD-ROM and documentation sets for a specialized unix, pre-configured to boot running exactly one application: a cash register interface or a database server. From a technical point of view, producing such a series seems almost goofily easy, so in my opinion it would be a lot of fun to do _extremely_ well. I propose that we form a general agreement to cooperate in building a series of software and documentation publications. The series to be constructed in steps: 1. Identify a small number of network-building scenarios, like wiring up a retail store, that we want to optimize. 2. Design simple component specifications for components which solve the scenarios and that are easy to build. 3. Independently build components to fit the specifications. Build redundant components. Build components that interact in nifty ways using protocols expressed as standards. Simultaneously, integrate and test the independently developed components; prepare them for publication. 4.

If you do have FreeBSD 2.2.6, configure a new kernel with controller pnp0 boot with this kernel. You can use "pnpinfo" to find out some information about the pnp devices you have. This will let you know what LSN and CSN. Mine says: bandersnatch# pnpinfo Checking for Plug-n-Play devices...

Use "help" to show you how to set the resources for the pnp modem. Set the irq and port to be the same as the com port (sioX) at which you want it. > KT Gibbs Viren -- Viren R.

Are you sure you have the irq and port set right, and that you are using the correct cuaaX device? I had the same problem (but on 2.2.6), until I configured the modem correctly. Is the modem a PnP modem? If so, you need 2.2.6 to detect a PnP device. > Michael P. Sale Viren -- Viren R.

The current system is minimon installed, without X window and enough packages .I want those features available. So first I got the packages and Xfree86, and copied them to a DOS patition, then rebooted the machine with a floppy and enter the sysinstallation. I entered the "post installation" then "packages" , after choosing media and packages, I chose "install". But it was failed with "unable to fetch xxxxxxxxx from selected media, ......". I cheched the DOS patition, it seemed as: c:----freebsd----packages--------shells---- bash-1.14.7.tgz | ...... | | ----math------ ...... | | ----www------- ...... | ...... I don't realize what's the matter even now . I notic that the Index file could be fetched and explaned well , it seems at least something in the patition can be recognized . and then I tried to install the packages from floppies , but the same thing appeared. It took me about 3 days but reward me nothing, even an clue, ...... , shut ! Then I made another effort to install the Xfree86 , but this time I was told that the sysinstallation sopport only the Xfree86331 but I recieved Xfree86332 , so it can't recognize it .? My god, I almost lose my confidence . So please help me, You are the last emancipator . A lot, a lot, a lot of thanks !!! (by the way , I do all file operations on win95 , is that the crux?)

I made myself a boot disk, and I'm trying to install FreeBSD on my 486 laptop, which is currently running no other OS or anything. I have a suspicion that the install program isn't finding my PCMCIA modem... When I go to the full-screen visual kernel configuration, there are 23 conflicts in the various devices. So, I delete all of them, then tab down to the 'add' field, and add device ze0, the 'IBM/National Semiconductor PCMCIA Ethernet Adaptor', as suggested in the FAQ. After I save the configuration, I get a screen with a list of the devices and whether they are detected or not, but ze0 scrolls past too quickly for me to see whether it is okay or not. I hope I'm explaining this correctly!! Then I go to the FreeBSD Disklabel editor and choose A, since I'm devoting the whole drive to BSD - it prompts me for a mount point for the partition, and I'm not sure what to enter here. I've been entering '/0' because it seems to accept this answer (stupid and wrong, I know). Then I get a message - "PP command started on VTY3, blah blah blah," so I hit Alt-F3 and get a new screen with the prompt "ppp ON> Warning: Can't create /var/run/tun0.pid: No such file or directory." So, I type "term" and get the prompt "Warning: Can't create /var/run/cuaa0.if: No such file or directory. Enter to terminal mode. Type "~?" for help." At which point I assume I would type "ATDT5974904" (my ISP's dial-in number) but the keyboard has frozen up and I have to do the old three-finger salute to reboot the machine. What am I doing wrong!??? I have the feeling it's something pretty dumb, but I don't know what. This is so frusterating.... : ( To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 6 18:53:05 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id SAA25523 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Mon, 6 Apr 1998 18:53:05 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from marlin.corp.gulf.net (root@marlin.corp.gulf.net [198.69.72.17]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id SAA25345; Mon, 6 Apr 1998 18:51:55 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from tbackman@corp.gulf.net) Received: from marlin.corp.gulf.net (tbackman@marlin.corp.gulf.net [206.105.61.2]) by marlin.corp.gulf.net (8.8.8/8.8.5) with SMTP id UAA15423; Mon, 6 Apr 1998 20:50:19 -0500 (CDT) Date: Mon, 6 Apr 1998 20:50:18 -0500 (CDT) From: Todd Backman To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG cc: freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG, freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: SDL N2dds Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Does anyone use the SDL N2dds successfully with FreeBSD?

If someone is logged in Fciencias, they still have net access to everywhere, but Xcalibur gets isolated. Any user in Fciencias, loses files and noone else can login due to nis/dns failure. After a few minutes, things get back to normal, but its pretty annoying to not be able to log into Fciencias, cuz its the main mail server and web server and other stuff. hmmm we (I personally) suspected Xcalibur's NIC (Network Interface Card) but... then I was enlightened somehow and in one of those "crashes" I went to the Xcalibur console and thought about restarting the nfsd's but.. I decided to just warm-jump-start them with a killall -hup... and miracoulously things got online again...

It's Michael Jaskowiak again. I have had tremendous success setting up a sound card on a computer at work, now it's time to work on one at home. The trouble that I am having is with my mouse. The mouse is a logitech mouseman ps2. The rest of the system is an ASUS P2L97 motherboard, Pentium 2 300 chip, 64 Megs of RAM, 2.1 Gig Maxtor, US Robotics 57.6k Sportster, a soundBlaster AWE 64 sound card, and Canopus Total3D and Pure3D video cards (the system also runs Windows 95 for gaming). What happens is that when I try to use the XF86Setup command, if I move the mouse ever so slightly, the cursor moves to the upper left corner and stays there. It might move about one fifth the distance across the top or down the monitor screen. I have tried the xf86setup command also with no better luck. I have also recompiled the kernel taking the disable from the psm0 line and changed the mouse from /dev/cuaa0 to /dev/psm0 in /etc/rc.conf. When I recompiled the kernel, I did not enable any other options for the mouse. I have tried several things that were suggested by people on various newsgroups to no avail. I would prefer to fix this installation rather than re-install the FreeBSD from the beginning but it would really be no problem. The version of FreeBSD is 2.2.5. Thank you in advance for your wonderful help.

I have recently put together a FreeBSD machine, and had some problems with networking. First, I had 2.2.2 on it, and used an Infotek NE2000 compatible network card. Everything was connected fine, and link lights wer glowing. But the device timed out, as in ed1: kenel/device timeout. This happened with a number of different NE2000 compatible cards. Next, I put on 2.2.5 with a 3Com 3C509. This was connected, but there was no link light on the hub it was connected to. It also froze the machine when running an Ifconfig on the ep0 driver. We are running 10BaseT. Any help would be appreciated.

So far I have almost completed my mission but I am still missing a few things. OK I am running a 386 with FreeBSD version 2.1.7.1 . I have a modem and a network card installed in the computer and they both work. I have two other computers running win95. All three of my computers are networked with TCP/IP, and they all recognise eachother. I also have an internet connection which provides dynamic ip addresses not static, and only one at a time. I have used User PPP to dial up to my ISP and I can connect and use the internet from my FreeBSD machine. What I want to do now is route requests through my FreeBSD machine from my two other computers which are running win95 so that they can now access the internet, and also ping sites on the internet as if directly connected. WHat FreeBSD programs will I need to accomplish this? What sort of setup and editing of files in the FreeBSD machine will I need to do? What will I need to change in my win95 computers (make the gateway point to my freeBSD machine?) ? I have been told in the past to try Natd, but I cant find it on my FreeBSD system. I have also heard that I should use something like, alias?? If you could answer or give me any supplementary information I would greatly appreciate it.

No, this is your first SCSI disk (/dev/sd0*). Look at the beginning of the line. So why isn't the tape drive being found? This is typically a cabling problem, or possibly you have the ID set incorrectly. Possibly, also, you have another device which is conflicting with it, in which case both of them won't show. > Oh, I appreciate your help, sorry I haven't mentioned this before! You're welcome.

I just went through this with a Motorola ModemSURFR(tm) 56K I got cheap at the Dell factory outlet here in Austin. Windows 3.11 recognized it as COM4 with IRQ 5 and port 0x2e8. After much playing with FreeBSD 2.2.6 and PnP, I discovered that if I set the port and IRQ exactly the same way Windows set it, everything worked fine! I think the 2.2.6 PnP stuff or the card itself were originally picking port 0x3e8 and messing up. Another thing I did was to add the card to the siopnp_ids[] array in /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/sio.c. This made the system automagically recognize the card as a modem and set it up as sio1. If you do this sort of trick, you MUST still configure at least one of your normal serial ports (sounds like the original poster had another modem that was hardwired to a specific IRQ, so that will work), otherwise config will think you have no serial ports whatsoever, and the sio code won't be included at all. The FAQs and handbook are a little sparse on PnP, unfortunately. -Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 7 06:03:14 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id GAA20514 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Tue, 7 Apr 1998 06:03:14 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from smtp04.primenet.com (smtp04.primenet.com [206.165.6.134]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id GAA20497 for ; Tue, 7 Apr 1998 06:03:11 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from bkogawa@primenet.com) Received: (from daemon@localhost) by smtp04.primenet.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) id GAA02907; Tue, 7 Apr 1998 06:03:10 -0700 (MST) Received: from ip207.sjc.primenet.com(206.165.96.207), claiming to be "foo.primenet.com" via SMTP by smtp04.primenet.com, id smtpd002815; Tue Apr 7 06:02:54 1998 Received: (from bkogawa@localhost) by foo.primenet.com (8.8.8/8.8.6) id GAA14715; Tue, 7 Apr 1998 06:03:28 -0700 (PDT) Date: Tue, 7 Apr 1998 06:03:28 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199804071303.GAA14715@foo.primenet.com> To: t26v1441@ip.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp Subject: Re: xev: command not found Newsgroups: localhost.freebsd.questions References: <199804070334.MAA24486@www.adm.kyoto-u.ac.jp> From: "Bryan K.

I can successfully view the TV tuner output in a window on my |screen. | |However, when that window is visible (i.e. not hidden behind any other |windows), it causes the rest of my screen to become garbled, so that |all windows (xterms, my Netscape browser, etc.) become virtually |unreadable. | |If the window is hidden behind another, nothing gets garbled. Right. If you run "fxtv -disableDirectV" or put "*disableDirectV: true" in your Fxtv resource file or .Xdefaults, you'll not have this problem when its on top either. However that's the fall-back plan. You'd prefer for direct video to work if possible. When the window is on top, fxtv configures the capture card to write directly to your frame buffer directly rather than through X (very fast and low overhead). Works great as long as Fxtv can determine your frame buffer memory aperature's geometry from the X server. If you're running in a 24 or 32 bits-per-pixel video mode, here are some things to try to get your direct video configured up correctly: fxtv -colorbars -xrm "Fxtv.Bpp24bit: 3" fxtv -colorbars -xrm "Fxtv.Bpp24bit: 4" fxtv -colorbars -xrm "Fxtv.Bpp32bit: 3" fxtv -colorbars -xrm "Fxtv.Bpp32bit: 4" See if one of these doesn't get the TV all inside the window. If you find one that works, insert it into your Fxtv resource file or .Xdefaults. However given that you have a 2Meg video card as you said, I suspect you're probably running 16-bit in which case these don't help you. If so, this is an indication that the X server drivers for your card aren't returning the correct frame buffer memory aperture geometry for it, and disabling direct video is your best course of action for now. Higher CPU utilization and slower frame rates, but you won't get screen corruption. I'll be happy to help you trace this down. Let me know what you find out, and send me the output of "fxtv -debug startup" and "xdpyinfo". We can determine if this is the X server's fault or not, and if so, you can flip in a bug report to XFree. |The same thing happens when I use the Windows software that came with the |card. Hmm. Sounds like the Windoze Direct* drivers are confused about your frame buffer geometry as well.

I wrote yesterday with some problems I was having in the install process, and I'm not giving my own partition sizes, I'm choosing A for it to automatically partition itself, as suggested below. I think I'm doing three separate things wrong: 1. In the full screen visual kernel configuration, I don't think I'm getting it to recognize my modem correctly. I have a 486 laptop with an IBM PCMCIA credit card adaptor modem. I delete all the conflicting devices, and add ze0 (the IBM/National Semiconductor PCMCIA Ethernet Adaptor) from the bottom list, and save changes. Then I get a screen which states whether the devices are found or not, but it scrolls past too quickly for me to see if it says 'ze0 - device not found' or something like that. Am I doing this correctly? 2. In the FreeBSD disklabel editor, after I hit 'A' for an automatic partition (I have no OS on this computer currently and want to devote the entire hard drive to BSD) and it prompts me for a 'mount point for the partition' I'm not sure what to enter here. I selected the option which made it possible to add additional OS's in the future; I don't know if that has something to do with it - but the partition it creates for BSD uses up the majority of the space, but there is a second 'chunk' left (another partition?) with a tiny bit of memory in it. What should I enter for the mount point? 3. When I try to install the developer kernel from the FTP site, I run into modem probs again. I get a message, "PPP command started on VTY3 blah blah", so I hit Alt-F3 and get the prompt, "ppp ON> Warning: Can't create /var/run/tun0.pid: No such file or directory." So I type "term" and it prompts me "Warning: Can't create /var/run/cuaa0.if: No such file or directory./Enter to terminal mode./Type '~?' for help." at which point I assume I would type "ATDT(my ISP's phone number), but the keyboard has frozen up and I have to soft reboot the machine. : ( Why does this happen and how do I avoid it?

What should I > enter for the mount point? Your description is of fdisk not disklabel. Or a combination of the two. For fdisk, when you take then entire disk for FreeBSD, you get asked whether or not to be dangerously dedicated or remain compatible. Remaining compatible allows other OS's (on another disk) to see what the partitionj is. Remaining compatible also helps when you have geometry problems with the disk. For instance, I was able to install FreeBSD on the entire disk of a Syquest SyJet Removable SCSI drive, by staying compatible but not dangerously dedicated. The little space at the end is used for bios or MBR or something. I'm pretty certain (though I haven't tried just now) that when disklabel is told to do automatic, it puts the mount points in by itself. As a guide you need a minimum of 2 partitions / and swap. / goes in a and swap goes in b. The c partition is the entire disk, don't touch it. From there, you might want a /usr partition (I think FreeBSD generally uses f for this, it doesn't really matter). I like to have a /var and put it on e. You might also want a /home or a /usr/local or a /usr/X11R6. It's pretty much all personal preference. Many people do just the 2 partition / and swap. That's fine, especially since backup tapes can hold multiple giga-bytes now. I used to do the just / partition, but when you have a disk problem, your whole disk is a problem, not just one section. > 3.

The install program doesn't support splitting the partitions across disks. Your best bet here is to move /usr to the new disk then modify /etc/fstab to mount the second disk as /usr after installing. You also might install without a separate /var partition since the auto config will give you a pretty puny one. Reallocate the space to / instead. On my 500MB disk I just used the Greg Lehey-patented `monolithic filesystem' method -- some swap and one giant root.

But this causes the emacs ange-ftp package to behave abnormally. There is a "progress" toggle command, but no command line option. "-V" is supposed to turn of verbose output, but the progress meter -- which is surely verbose -- remains on. (I claim this is a bug.) Anyone have a fix for this -- either a way to not use the progress meter by default or a way to set up ange-ftp to issue the "progress" command? thanks.

Either xcalibur is going south or your network is going south. Hangups on the client sound like a loss of NIS connecivity, and a later reconnection.

The installation was totally painless (thanks to all of you!). It's on the net and I can telnet and ftp without a hitch but I've run into a problem with NFS. I can mount disks served by our NFS servers (either Auspex or FreeBSD running -current) but when I try to copy files from the laptop to the servers it'll copy a few megabytes and then all network traffic stops completely and the machine is not pingable. I cannot Ctrl-C out of the NFS cpio operation but I can still use other windows on the machine just fine everything seems quite responsive. netstat -m, nfsstat, and systat -vmstat don't seem to show anything unusual. Pstat shows the cpio process that I was using stuck in state "D". cp and tar also behave this way. I have also explicitly mounted in NFSv2 mode but this didn't help. I have included output of dmesg and my kernel config file below in case this helps. Let me know what other information might help. Oh, this just in... ftp also hangs in this way as well -- it just get a little further along before it does. Anyone have any clues about this one? Thanks, Tom ` Copyright (c) 1992-1998 FreeBSD Inc.

This should be explained in either INSTALL.TXT, LAYOUT.TXT, or the Handbook. Basically you copy as many of the bin.* files you can fit onto a floppy in the subdirectory bin\. Copy bin.inf to the first disk. Then select floppy install and feed the disks as prompted. The thing most people miss is putting bin.inf on and to put all the files in the subdirectory.

Okay, then.

Are you using a sound blaster compatible card? I have had the exact same results for sound blaster cards on two different computers. I do not know the answers, so I'll through it the rest of the list. Does anyone here know the reason why sound quality on sb compatible cards is so horrid? The only suggestion I can offer is to try luigi's sound driver, which should be discussed in LINT. Its a device or controller pcm, I believe. If you have an awe32 or an awe64, and you are using the sb-device, you may want to use those devices instead. Another thing I have to say is that even though sound is horrid when playing wave or mp3 files, sound should not be so bad if your sound card is connected to the cd-rom and you use a utility (such as xcd) to play cds. (sorry if I'm repeating anything you've already done, I do not have your original email anymore.)

Make sure the domains have MX (mail exchange records) that point to your machine... 3. Setup sendmail to use 'virtual user tables' - which will let you direct all the mail sent to one domain to a particular local (or otherwise user),e.g. anything@panic.org could go to a user called 'tdl' on your machine, or say tdl@someother.domain.com This can get quite complicated - if you get stuck or want more info you can either look through the FreeBSD FAQ's etc. - or try www.sendmail.org...

While I despise flame wars, I think it might be time to revive the "Berkeley advocacy engine." People aren't even aware of what the GPL says, what the author's intent was, or that there are other (and, arguably, better) solutions. It'd also pay to point out the dramatically better stability and networking performance of FreeBSD relative to many Linux bundles. Marketing would help, but a little fanaticism wouldn't hurt. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 7 15:32:09 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id PAA06608 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Tue, 7 Apr 1998 15:32:09 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from ns.mexcom.net (ver2-94.uninet.net.mx [200.38.135.94]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id PAA06206 for ; Tue, 7 Apr 1998 15:29:52 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from eculp@ver1.telmex.net.mx) Received: from mc.mexcom.net (telmex@ppp-8.mexcom.net [206.103.65.200]) by ns.mexcom.net (8.8.8/8.8.7) with SMTP id RAA22901; Tue, 7 Apr 1998 17:27:06 -0500 (CDT) Message-ID: <352A9B7C.2FEE34F2@ver1.telmex.net.mx> Date: Tue, 07 Apr 1998 16:32:44 -0500 From: Edwin Culp Organization: Mexico Communicates, S.A. de C.V.

You won't find, by now, free SW that emulates Windows 95/NT with all the capabilities/compatibility you need for these native SWs, but, instead, you will find dozens of SWs which do exactly the same, and more. Usually they do a lot better than Windows based SWs. In short: you will have OHTER tools which are compatible/do the same thing, but you - as a rule - won't be able to run THE application itself. (you have tools to play with ZIP files, which are not WinZIP, ok ?). Give FBSD a try, get used to it and send your Windows to the trash can. :) See YA !

Another questions is, the second HD on ID 6 is not formatted, how do I format, newfs and mount the nfs partition? I don't want to format the ID0 hd as it has my operating system on it, but I am running out of room and really need to get the second hd formatted and nfs mounted, and I don't want to kill my O/S hd. I can do this, but I don't want to make a mistake. Can you give a step procedure so I don't screw up my boot system?

To: faq@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Tue, 7 Apr 1998 17:57:43 -0500 (CDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL22 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I am submitting this FAQ in hope that it may be entered into the official FreeBSD FAQ. After experiencing this problem first hand, searching the net, watching and posting to the mailing list, I have had no luck in getting a decent reply in how to fix the problem or what is going wrong. This problem is not just an isolated incident. In the approximately nine months of monitoring the mailing lists, I am seeing this question posted more and more from various users. So I dug into the source code and this is what I found as the problem and a solution to it. Enclosed at the very end of this letter, is the post I am posting to the questions@FreeBSD.org mailing list. That post goes into more detail, and this letter is really just a summary of that. IF you do decide to put this Q&A in the official FAQ, please feel free edit this info to what is more appropriate for the FAQ. Thanks, Roger P. Johnson rjohnson@hirshfields.com (612) 374-0230 Here is the Q&A for the FAQ: Q: I've just installed FreeBSD on my hard disk, and now when I boot, all I get is "Read error". Now what? A: Chances are, you have a SCSI controller card, a SCSI hard disk as the boot device, and you've installed FreeBSD dedicating the whole drive so as not to remain "cooperative" with other OS's. First of all, let me say this: This is problem ... is NOT a "geometry" problem, is NOT an "fdisk" problem, is NOT a "disklabel" problem, and you did NOT install FreeBSD incorrectly on the disk (at this point). Your BIOS bootstrap code is not passing the BIOS boot device in register "dl". The FreeBSD boot program "boot1" which is on the first sector of the disk, expects this to be in register dl. But in your case, since it is not setup in the dl register, the way boot1 is coded, it will then try to boot off of a bootable floppy disk in the disk drive. And since you don't have a floppy in the floppy disk drive, the boot1 program halts and issues the "Read error" message. To fix this quirk in your boot up procedure, you need to manually apply a patch to the boot1 program, compile, install and reboot. How to fix: ----------- 1. Since you are getting a "Read error", boot off of the floppy boot disk and at the "Boot:" prompt type: 0:sd(0,a)/kernel This will load the kernel from the hard disk and get you going like you didn't have any problem booting. 2. Make sure the kernel source is installed. 3. Become the super user. 4. # cd /usr/mdec This is where a copy your boot code lies. boot1 and boot2 is the code that lies on sector 0 and sector 1 respectively. Do a "strings boot1" and you will see the "Read error" message in it. 5. Make a backup copy of boot1 and boot2 so you can always restore the boot code back. 6. # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot This is the source code directory for boot1 and boot2. The files here are all prety much in assembler. 7. Make a backup copy of "start.S" This is a small program written in assembler. When it gets compiled, it will become the boot1 prograrm. This is the file we want to modify. 8. Put following code in right below the "fd:" label in start.S: <------- snip here -------------------> mov $0x0080, %edx jmp hd <------- end snip -------------------> If you want boot1 to display a message to your console, saying something like it can't boot properly and it's taking this catch all branch instead, tailor this to your liking and place below the "fd:" label vs. using the code just above: <------- snip here -------------------> data32 mov $msg1, %esi data32 call message data32 mov $msg2, %esi data32 call message data32 mov $0x0080, %edx jmp hd msg1: String "boot1: BIOS bootstrap code failed to specify drive.\r\n\0" msg2: String "boot1: using hard coded boot device as hard disk (0x80).\r\n\0" <------- end snip -------------------> DON'T get to message happy, as the whole boot1 program has to fit into one 512 byte sector size. 9. Save your changes 10. # make 11. # make install This will overwrite boot1 and boot2 in /usr/mdec. 12. # disklabel -B -b boot1 sd0 This will install /usr/mdec/boot1 onto sector 0 of the hard drive for booting. 13. Remove the floppy from the drive if you haven't done so. 14. # reboot Now your message should appear (if you had put one in start.S) and then should see the FreeBSD "Boot:" prompt on your screen. This "Boot:" prompt is from sector 1 of your hard disk, which is boot2, so you now know that boot1 is working! Yeah. :) End of FAQ letter. ================================================================================ Beginning of my detailed posting to "questions@FreeBSD.org" ================================================================================ Hi! For all of you that have encountered this annoyance of a problem, I have good news for you! Below are the hows and whys of the "Read error" message that you receive on boot after installing FreeBSD. I have been trying to get an answer to this for the last 6-9+ months, and have been unable to get an explanation of what this problem is and how to _really_ fix it. Finally I started looking at the startup code and found the problem. Isn't having the source code available wonderful? :) I checked the FreeBSD homepage pertaining to FAQ Question #103 which only mentions the "Read error" in passing, but to no use. A similar post to this has been submitted to the FAQ maintainers. Maybe it can be put in the FAQ for the next poor soul that encounter this. OK. Here's the stuff you want to know: Q: I've just installed FreeBSD on my hard disk, and now when I boot, all I get is "Read error". Now what? Chances are, you have a SCSI controller card, a SCSI hard disk as the boot device, and you've installed FreeBSD dedicating the whole drive so as not to remain "cooperative" with other OS's. First of all, let me say this: This is problem ... is NOT a "geometry" problem, is NOT an "fdisk" problem, is NOT a "disklabel" problem, and you did NOT install FreeBSD incorrectly on the disk (at this point). So here is what I am going to cover: What circumstances does this occur under? Where does the message come from ? Why does it occur? and finally, What's the solution ? 1. Circumstances: ============== As mention earlier, you probably have a SCSI controller, a SCSI hard disk that you are using to boot from, you dedicated FreeBSD to the whole drive, and just some bad luck. I Don't believe this happens with IDE drives. I have all Phoenix BIOS's, Adaptec controllers and all Seagate SCSI hard drives and this happens to me. And other posters don't give all the complete hardware details of their system to compare with. (I don't believe that the BIOS in the PC ROM is the BIOS that boots the system, but the BIOS in your SCSI Controller card that is performing the boot. (Just try turning off the DOS INT 13H stuff on the SCSI card and see what you get). Thus I don't know if it matters whether you have a Phoenix BIOS (like all my machines do) or whether you are using maybe AMI etc. etc. and encountering this.) 2. Where does the message come from ? ================================== The message indeed comes from not the BIOS, but FreeBSD, namely the "boot1" program which lies on sector 0 of the hard disk. This first sector of the hard disk is commonly known as the "boot block" and also as the "Master Boot Record" or "MBR" for short. This boot block is the first block that is read off of the hard disk, placed into memory, and jumped to by the bootstrapping microcode in the BIOS. Buried in the boot code is the "Read error" message, along with another message "No bootable partition". This boot code also holds the fdisk partion table. When dedicating the whole drive to FreeBSD, this is just a "dummy" fdisk table. 3. Why does it occur ? =================== The reason this is occurs is because the FreeBSD boot1 program expects the BIOS boot device number to be passed to it in the "dl" register by the BIOS bootstrap code. A note here, is that ALL disk i/o activity is handled by the system BIOS UNTIL the kernel is loaded and started. Then the disk i/o bypasses the BIOS through the SCSI sub-system. (The BIOS calls are the int 13h stuff ...) Apparently, and I do not know why, there are circumstances in which the BIOS bootstrap code fails to place the BIOS boot device number into this register. Without this device number in register dl, the boot1 program doesn't branch to the normal booting off the hard drive code. But instead, it tries to boot off of the floppy disk. Yes the floppy disk. But since their isn't a bootable floppy disk in the dirve, the BIOS call to read the boot block off of the floppy disk fails, and finally boot1 issues a "Read error" and terminates (actually, it "terminates" by puting itself into an endless loop). So when you get "Read error", it has absolutely nothing to do with your hard drive! Very misleading! 4. What's the solution ? ======================= There are 2 options. Both easy to do. 1. You can do a "shared" or cooperative installation and live with it. Yuck. -or- 2. You can apply two lines of assembler code to the boot1 program, compile and install it on your hard drive. (You don't have to know assembler to fix this folks). I won't discuss option number 1, so here is how to do option 2. Enclosed at the end of this post is my complete fixed boot1 program and a listing of just the diffs. How to fix: ----------= 1. Since you are getting a "Read error", boot off of the floppy boot disk and at the "Boot:" prompt type: 0:sd(0,a)/kernel This will load the kernel from the hard disk and get you going like you didn't have any problem booting. 2. Make sure the kernel source is installed. 3. Become the super user. 4. # cd /usr/mdec This is where a copy your boot code lies. boot1 and boot2 is the code that lies on sector 0 and sector 1 respectively. Do a "strings boot1" and you will see the "Read error" message in it. 5. Make a backup copy of boot1 and boot2 so you can always restore the boot code back. 6. # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot This is the source code directory for boot1 and boot2. The files here are all prety much in assembler. 7. Make a backup copy of "start.S" This is a small program written in assembler. When it gets compiled, it will become the boot1 prograrm. This is the file we want to modify. 8. Either use my "start.S" file enclosed, or edit your own start.S file and put following code in right below the "fd:" label in start.S: <------- snip here -------------------> mov $0x0080, %edx jmp hd <------- end snip -------------------> If you want boot1 to display a message to your console, saying something like it can't boot properly and it's taking this catch all branch instead, tailor this to your liking and place below the "fd:" label vs. using the code just above: <------- snip here -------------------> data32 mov $msg1, %esi data32 call message data32 mov $msg2, %esi data32 call message data32 mov $0x0080, %edx jmp hd msg1: String "boot1: BIOS bootstrap code failed to specify drive.\r\n\0" msg2: String "boot1: using hard coded boot device as hard disk (0x80).\r\n\0" <------- end snip -------------------> DON'T get to message happy, as the whole boot1 program has to fit into one 512 byte sector size. 9. Save your changes 10. # make 11. # make install This will overwrite boot1 and boot2 in /usr/mdec. 12. # disklabel -B -b boot1 sd0 This will install /usr/mdec/boot1 onto sector 0 of the hard drive for booting. 13. Remove the floppy from the drive if you haven't done so. 14. # reboot Now your message should appear (if you had put one in start.S) and then should see the FreeBSD "Boot:" prompt on your screen. This "Boot:" prompt is from sector 1 of your hard disk, which is boot2, so you now know that boot1 is working! Yeah. :) 4. Comments ========= I say that this is a BIOS/Hard drive combonation problem, and NOT just a BIOS quirk as some say. This is why: Given one machine of mine, if I install FreeBSD onto a 1.1 GB SCSI HD using an Adaptec 2940U SCSI-2 controller, I get "Read error". Now, take that drive out. Replace it with a 2.1 GB SCSI HD, install FreeBSD and it boots and works correctly! Seeing how the ONLY change in the system was the hard drives (both where Seagate by the way), it is not isolated to _just_ the BIOS itself. Weird. I have been through so many combonations of drives (old and new), controllers and PC's that I can't even count them. I can sum it up this way: Adaptec 2940 series with Seagate 1.1GB hard drives --> Read error. Adaptec 1542 series with Seagate 1.1GB hard drives --> OK. One thing that is nice about the way the code is patched in start.S is that you can use that boot1 code on any dedicated FreeBSD machine you have. If you have a "normal" booting machine, it will never hit the patched code. If you have a "Read error" machine, then the patch will catch it and still let you boot. This solved a dilema I had in that I have a bunch of production machines using the 1542 series, but I am slowly upgrading them to the 2940AU series. Well, now I can have one hot spare disk with the patched boot code on it for when/if I have a hard disk crash, I know that the drive will boot with either controller on it. It also answers my question of the SCSI formats and how backward compatable SCSI is. I can put in a 2940AU and run FreeBSD that was installed on the disk via an old 1542B card and run with it. What causes the BIOS to pass the BIOS boot drive number into register dl in one situation and not the next, I don't know why. Maybe there is a BIOS/assembler guru out there that can answer this ;) ? I would like to know if Linux does/would have this problem as well. I am real tempted to buy a copy of Linux to test it out this hardware setup that I have. I hope I have helped others with this post. Maybe the FreeBSD team can redo the startup code to address this in some way?

After experiencing this problem first hand, searching the net, watching and posting to the mailing list, I have had no luck in getting a decent reply in how to fix the problem or what is going wrong. This problem is not just an isolated incident. In the approximately nine months of monitoring the mailing lists, I am seeing this question posted more and more from various users. So I dug into the source code and this is what I found as the problem and a solution to it. Enclosed at the very end of this letter, is the post I am posting to the questions@FreeBSD.org mailing list. That post goes into more detail, and this letter is really just a summary of that. IF you do decide to put this Q&A in the official FAQ, please feel free edit this info to what is more appropriate for the FAQ. Thanks, Roger P. Johnson rjohnson@hirshfields.com (612) 374-0230 Here is the Q&A for the FAQ: Q: I've just installed FreeBSD on my hard disk, and now when I boot, all I get is "Read error". Now what? A: Chances are, you have a SCSI controller card, a SCSI hard disk as the boot device, and you've installed FreeBSD dedicating the whole drive so as not to remain "cooperative" with other OS's. First of all, let me say this: This is problem ... is NOT a "geometry" problem, is NOT an "fdisk" problem, is NOT a "disklabel" problem, and you did NOT install FreeBSD incorrectly on the disk (at this point). Your BIOS bootstrap code is not passing the BIOS boot device in register "dl". The FreeBSD boot program "boot1" which is on the first sector of the disk, expects this to be in register dl. But in your case, since it is not setup in the dl register, the way boot1 is coded, it will then try to boot off of a bootable floppy disk in the disk drive. And since you don't have a floppy in the floppy disk drive, the boot1 program halts and issues the "Read error" message. To fix this quirk in your boot up procedure, you need to manually apply a patch to the boot1 program, compile, install and reboot. How to fix: ----------- 1. Since you are getting a "Read error", boot off of the floppy boot disk and at the "Boot:" prompt type: 0:sd(0,a)/kernel This will load the kernel from the hard disk and get you going like you didn't have any problem booting. 2. Make sure the kernel source is installed. 3. Become the super user. 4. # cd /usr/mdec This is where a copy your boot code lies. boot1 and boot2 is the code that lies on sector 0 and sector 1 respectively. Do a "strings boot1" and you will see the "Read error" message in it. 5. Make a backup copy of boot1 and boot2 so you can always restore the boot code back. 6. # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot This is the source code directory for boot1 and boot2. The files here are all prety much in assembler. 7. Make a backup copy of "start.S" This is a small program written in assembler. When it gets compiled, it will become the boot1 prograrm. This is the file we want to modify. 8. Put following code in right below the "fd:" label in start.S: <------- snip here -------------------> mov $0x0080, %edx jmp hd <------- end snip -------------------> If you want boot1 to display a message to your console, saying something like it can't boot properly and it's taking this catch all branch instead, tailor this to your liking and place below the "fd:" label vs. using the code just above: <------- snip here -------------------> data32 mov $msg1, %esi data32 call message data32 mov $msg2, %esi data32 call message data32 mov $0x0080, %edx jmp hd msg1: String "boot1: BIOS bootstrap code failed to specify drive.\r\n\0" msg2: String "boot1: using hard coded boot device as hard disk (0x80).\r\n\0" <------- end snip -------------------> DON'T get to message happy, as the whole boot1 program has to fit into one 512 byte sector size. 9. Save your changes 10. # make 11. # make install This will overwrite boot1 and boot2 in /usr/mdec. 12. # disklabel -B -b boot1 sd0 This will install /usr/mdec/boot1 onto sector 0 of the hard drive for booting. 13. Remove the floppy from the drive if you haven't done so. 14. # reboot Now your message should appear (if you had put one in start.S) and then should see the FreeBSD "Boot:" prompt on your screen. This "Boot:" prompt is from sector 1 of your hard disk, which is boot2, so you now know that boot1 is working! Yeah. :) End of FAQ letter. ================================================================================ Beginning of my detailed posting to "questions@FreeBSD.org" ================================================================================ Hi! For all of you that have encountered this annoyance of a problem, I have good news for you! Below are the hows and whys of the "Read error" message that you receive on boot after installing FreeBSD. I have been trying to get an answer to this for the last 6-9+ months, and have been unable to get an explanation of what this problem is and how to _really_ fix it. Finally I started looking at the startup code and found the problem. Isn't having the source code available wonderful? :) I checked the FreeBSD homepage pertaining to FAQ Question #103 which only mentions the "Read error" in passing, but to no use. A similar post to this has been submitted to the FAQ maintainers. Maybe it can be put in the FAQ for the next poor soul that encounter this. OK. Here's the stuff you want to know: Q: I've just installed FreeBSD on my hard disk, and now when I boot, all I get is "Read error". Now what? Chances are, you have a SCSI controller card, a SCSI hard disk as the boot device, and you've installed FreeBSD dedicating the whole drive so as not to remain "cooperative" with other OS's. First of all, let me say this: This is problem ... is NOT a "geometry" problem, is NOT an "fdisk" problem, is NOT a "disklabel" problem, and you did NOT install FreeBSD incorrectly on the disk (at this point). So here is what I am going to cover: What circumstances does this occur under? Where does the message come from ? Why does it occur? and finally, What's the solution ? 1. Circumstances: ============== As mention earlier, you probably have a SCSI controller, a SCSI hard disk that you are using to boot from, you dedicated FreeBSD to the whole drive, and just some bad luck. I Don't believe this happens with IDE drives. I have all Phoenix BIOS's, Adaptec controllers and all Seagate SCSI hard drives and this happens to me. And other posters don't give all the complete hardware details of their system to compare with. (I don't believe that the BIOS in the PC ROM is the BIOS that boots the system, but the BIOS in your SCSI Controller card that is performing the boot. (Just try turning off the DOS INT 13H stuff on the SCSI card and see what you get). Thus I don't know if it matters whether you have a Phoenix BIOS (like all my machines do) or whether you are using maybe AMI etc. etc. and encountering this.) 2. Where does the message come from ? ================================== The message indeed comes from not the BIOS, but FreeBSD, namely the "boot1" program which lies on sector 0 of the hard disk. This first sector of the hard disk is commonly known as the "boot block" and also as the "Master Boot Record" or "MBR" for short. This boot block is the first block that is read off of the hard disk, placed into memory, and jumped to by the bootstrapping microcode in the BIOS. Buried in the boot code is the "Read error" message, along with another message "No bootable partition". This boot code also holds the fdisk partion table. When dedicating the whole drive to FreeBSD, this is just a "dummy" fdisk table. 3. Why does it occur ? =================== The reason this is occurs is because the FreeBSD boot1 program expects the BIOS boot device number to be passed to it in the "dl" register by the BIOS bootstrap code. A note here, is that ALL disk i/o activity is handled by the system BIOS UNTIL the kernel is loaded and started. Then the disk i/o bypasses the BIOS through the SCSI sub-system. (The BIOS calls are the int 13h stuff ...) Apparently, and I do not know why, there are circumstances in which the BIOS bootstrap code fails to place the BIOS boot device number into this register. Without this device number in register dl, the boot1 program doesn't branch to the normal booting off the hard drive code. But instead, it tries to boot off of the floppy disk. Yes the floppy disk. But since their isn't a bootable floppy disk in the dirve, the BIOS call to read the boot block off of the floppy disk fails, and finally boot1 issues a "Read error" and terminates (actually, it "terminates" by puting itself into an endless loop). So when you get "Read error", it has absolutely nothing to do with your hard drive! Very misleading! 4. What's the solution ? ======================= There are 2 options. Both easy to do. 1. You can do a "shared" or cooperative installation and live with it. Yuck. -or- 2. You can apply two lines of assembler code to the boot1 program, compile and install it on your hard drive. (You don't have to know assembler to fix this folks). I won't discuss option number 1, so here is how to do option 2. Enclosed at the end of this post is my complete fixed boot1 program and a listing of just the diffs. How to fix: ----------= 1. Since you are getting a "Read error", boot off of the floppy boot disk and at the "Boot:" prompt type: 0:sd(0,a)/kernel This will load the kernel from the hard disk and get you going like you didn't have any problem booting. 2. Make sure the kernel source is installed. 3. Become the super user. 4. # cd /usr/mdec This is where a copy your boot code lies. boot1 and boot2 is the code that lies on sector 0 and sector 1 respectively. Do a "strings boot1" and you will see the "Read error" message in it. 5. Make a backup copy of boot1 and boot2 so you can always restore the boot code back. 6. # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot This is the source code directory for boot1 and boot2. The files here are all prety much in assembler. 7. Make a backup copy of "start.S" This is a small program written in assembler. When it gets compiled, it will become the boot1 prograrm. This is the file we want to modify. 8. Either use my "start.S" file enclosed, or edit your own start.S file and put following code in right below the "fd:" label in start.S: <------- snip here -------------------> mov $0x0080, %edx jmp hd <------- end snip -------------------> If you want boot1 to display a message to your console, saying something like it can't boot properly and it's taking this catch all branch instead, tailor this to your liking and place below the "fd:" label vs. using the code just above: <------- snip here -------------------> data32 mov $msg1, %esi data32 call message data32 mov $msg2, %esi data32 call message data32 mov $0x0080, %edx jmp hd msg1: String "boot1: BIOS bootstrap code failed to specify drive.\r\n\0" msg2: String "boot1: using hard coded boot device as hard disk (0x80).\r\n\0" <------- end snip -------------------> DON'T get to message happy, as the whole boot1 program has to fit into one 512 byte sector size. 9. Save your changes 10. # make 11. # make install This will overwrite boot1 and boot2 in /usr/mdec. 12. # disklabel -B -b boot1 sd0 This will install /usr/mdec/boot1 onto sector 0 of the hard drive for booting. 13. Remove the floppy from the drive if you haven't done so. 14. # reboot Now your message should appear (if you had put one in start.S) and then should see the FreeBSD "Boot:" prompt on your screen. This "Boot:" prompt is from sector 1 of your hard disk, which is boot2, so you now know that boot1 is working! Yeah. :) 4. Comments ========= I say that this is a BIOS/Hard drive combonation problem, and NOT just a BIOS quirk as some say. This is why: Given one machine of mine, if I install FreeBSD onto a 1.1 GB SCSI HD using an Adaptec 2940U SCSI-2 controller, I get "Read error". Now, take that drive out. Replace it with a 2.1 GB SCSI HD, install FreeBSD and it boots and works correctly! Seeing how the ONLY change in the system was the hard drives (both where Seagate by the way), it is not isolated to _just_ the BIOS itself. Weird. I have been through so many combonations of drives (old and new), controllers and PC's that I can't even count them. I can sum it up this way: Adaptec 2940 series with Seagate 1.1GB hard drives --> Read error. Adaptec 1542 series with Seagate 1.1GB hard drives --> OK. One thing that is nice about the way the code is patched in start.S is that you can use that boot1 code on any dedicated FreeBSD machine you have. If you have a "normal" booting machine, it will never hit the patched code. If you have a "Read error" machine, then the patch will catch it and still let you boot. This solved a dilema I had in that I have a bunch of production machines using the 1542 series, but I am slowly upgrading them to the 2940AU series. Well, now I can have one hot spare disk with the patched boot code on it for when/if I have a hard disk crash, I know that the drive will boot with either controller on it. It also answers my question of the SCSI formats and how backward compatable SCSI is. I can put in a 2940AU and run FreeBSD that was installed on the disk via an old 1542B card and run with it. What causes the BIOS to pass the BIOS boot drive number into register dl in one situation and not the next, I don't know why. Maybe there is a BIOS/assembler guru out there that can answer this ;) ? I would like to know if Linux does/would have this problem as well. I am real tempted to buy a copy of Linux to test it out this hardware setup that I have. I hope I have helped others with this post. Maybe the FreeBSD team can redo the startup code to address this in some way?

For reference, this is: (ahc0:6:0): "IBM DCAS-34330W S61A" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(ahc0:6:0): Direct-Access 4134MB (8467200 512 byte sectors) Note that it's sd1. To format: # scsiformat sd1 To newfs, you first need to partition the drive. That's complicated. Doug White has a tutorial on it at http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/diskformat/diskformat.html, and it's described in "The Complete FreeBSD", second edition (http://www.cdrom.com/titles/os/bsdbook2.htm). Basically, you need to decide whether you want to use the disk entirely for FreeBSD (which I would recommend), or whether you want to share it with other software. Many people call the former "dangerously dedicated mode". This is nonsense. There's nothing dangerous about it; in fact, there are fewer dangers than shared mode. The original idea behind the term "dangerous" was that you couldn't change your mind and share the disk with another operating system. If the disk is fully allocated, this applies to the shared model as well. If you can, choose dedicated mode. > I don't want to format the ID0 hd as it has my operating system on > it, but I am running out of room and really need to get the second > hd formatted and nfs mounted, and I don't want to kill my O/S hd.

Joe Clarke ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 7 Apr 1998 19:43:55 -0400 (EDT) From: "Joe \"Marcus\" Clarke" To: marca@netscape.com Subject: The future Mr. Andreessen, As a network administrator for both Macs and UNIX, I find your decision to release the Mozilla source code a marvelous one. The developers of the world will finally get a chance to put their money where their mouth is. I feel that a rock-solid, dynamic, and superior product will come from this venture; and for that, I applaud you. However, your comments last week to a Linux developer group trouble me. For a few years now, I have been using FreeBSD, a free UN*X for the PC platform. I find it to be a great deal more stable than Linux, and a whole lot easier to setup and install. Linux is a patch-work operating system. There is not one single place or one single distribution. The only constant in Linux is the kernel. And, quite frankly, FreeBSD's kernel is better. FreeBSD is a true 4.4BSD-Lite derivative, and thus implements true AT&T UNIX code. It can be obtained from one single place, http://www.freebsd.org, and it is becoming so popular, that the developers of Apple's Rhapsody want to use some of its kernel code. If you are concerned about market share, I can assure you of FreeBSD's popularity. It is used by companies such as Yahoo!, the Internet Movie Database, Walnut Creek CD-ROM, Be (the makers of BeOS), and hundreds of other companies and organizations. Why is it used in so many high-end places? It is extremely stable and handles high loads very well. Its networking code is arguably faster than Linux's. If you are looking to make SuiteSpot available for a PC UNIX, then FreeBSD's BSD sockets, and vast developer documentation is perfect for you. I can speak not only for myself, but for a great deal of computer people at the University of Miami, that if Netscape focuses its developer interests on FreeBSD, you will have a great deal more customers. We here at the university are avid Netscape supports, but we do not support Linux. Thank you. I look forward to your response.

Subject: Serial Ports - How = to=20 configure to use with minicom

Newbie question. How does one configure a serial = port under=20 FreeBSD to use as a console for another machine. I wish to use the BSD=20 equivalent of dos's com1: on my Toshiba laptop
 
1. what do I configure in the kernel = (sio1?)
2. which /dev device do I talk to with = minicom?

After experiencing this problem first hand, searching the net, watching and posting to the mailing list, I have had no luck in getting a decent reply in how to fix the problem or what is going wrong. This problem is not just an isolated incident. In the approximately nine months of monitoring the mailing lists, I am seeing this question posted more and more from various users. So I dug into the source code and this is what I found as the problem and a solution to it. Enclosed at the very end of this letter, is the post I am posting to the questions@FreeBSD.org mailing list. That post goes into more detail, and this letter is really just a summary of that. IF you do decide to put this Q&A in the official FAQ, please feel free edit this info to what is more appropriate for the FAQ. Thanks, Roger P. Johnson rjohnson@hirshfields.com (612) 374-0230 Here is the Q&A for the FAQ: Q: I've just installed FreeBSD on my hard disk, and now when I boot, all I get is "Read error". Now what? A: Chances are, you have a SCSI controller card, a SCSI hard disk as the boot device, and you've installed FreeBSD dedicating the whole drive so as not to remain "cooperative" with other OS's. First of all, let me say this: This is problem ... is NOT a "geometry" problem, is NOT an "fdisk" problem, is NOT a "disklabel" problem, and you did NOT install FreeBSD incorrectly on the disk (at this point). Your BIOS bootstrap code is not passing the BIOS boot device in register "dl". The FreeBSD boot program "boot1" which is on the first sector of the disk, expects this to be in register dl. But in your case, since it is not setup in the dl register, the way boot1 is coded, it will then try to boot off of a bootable floppy disk in the disk drive. And since you don't have a floppy in the floppy disk drive, the boot1 program halts and issues the "Read error" message. To fix this quirk in your boot up procedure, you need to manually apply a patch to the boot1 program, compile, install and reboot. How to fix: ----------- 1. Since you are getting a "Read error", boot off of the floppy boot disk and at the "Boot:" prompt type: 0:sd(0,a)/kernel This will load the kernel from the hard disk and get you going like you didn't have any problem booting. 2. Make sure the kernel source is installed. 3. Become the super user. 4. # cd /usr/mdec This is where a copy your boot code lies. boot1 and boot2 is the code that lies on sector 0 and sector 1 respectively. Do a "strings boot1" and you will see the "Read error" message in it. 5. Make a backup copy of boot1 and boot2 so you can always restore the boot code back. 6. # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot This is the source code directory for boot1 and boot2. The files here are all prety much in assembler. 7. Make a backup copy of "start.S" This is a small program written in assembler. When it gets compiled, it will become the boot1 prograrm. This is the file we want to modify. 8. Put following code in right below the "fd:" label in start.S: <------- snip here -------------------> mov $0x0080, %edx jmp hd <------- end snip -------------------> If you want boot1 to display a message to your console, saying something like it can't boot properly and it's taking this catch all branch instead, tailor this to your liking and place below the "fd:" label vs. using the code just above: <------- snip here -------------------> data32 mov $msg1, %esi data32 call message data32 mov $msg2, %esi data32 call message data32 mov $0x0080, %edx jmp hd msg1: String "boot1: BIOS bootstrap code failed to specify drive.\r\n\0" msg2: String "boot1: using hard coded boot device as hard disk (0x80).\r\n\0" <------- end snip -------------------> DON'T get to message happy, as the whole boot1 program has to fit into one 512 byte sector size. 9. Save your changes 10. # make 11. # make install This will overwrite boot1 and boot2 in /usr/mdec. 12. # disklabel -B -b boot1 sd0 This will install /usr/mdec/boot1 onto sector 0 of the hard drive for booting. 13. Remove the floppy from the drive if you haven't done so. 14. # reboot Now your message should appear (if you had put one in start.S) and then should see the FreeBSD "Boot:" prompt on your screen. This "Boot:" prompt is from sector 1 of your hard disk, which is boot2, so you now know that boot1 is working! Yeah. :) End of FAQ letter. ================================================================================ Beginning of my detailed posting to "questions@FreeBSD.org" ================================================================================ Hi! For all of you that have encountered this annoyance of a problem, I have good news for you! Below are the hows and whys of the "Read error" message that you receive on boot after installing FreeBSD. I have been trying to get an answer to this for the last 6-9+ months, and have been unable to get an explanation of what this problem is and how to _really_ fix it. Finally I started looking at the startup code and found the problem. Isn't having the source code available wonderful? :) I checked the FreeBSD homepage pertaining to FAQ Question #103 which only mentions the "Read error" in passing, but to no use. A similar post to this has been submitted to the FAQ maintainers. Maybe it can be put in the FAQ for the next poor soul that encounter this. OK. Here's the stuff you want to know: Q: I've just installed FreeBSD on my hard disk, and now when I boot, all I get is "Read error". Now what? Chances are, you have a SCSI controller card, a SCSI hard disk as the boot device, and you've installed FreeBSD dedicating the whole drive so as not to remain "cooperative" with other OS's. First of all, let me say this: This is problem ... is NOT a "geometry" problem, is NOT an "fdisk" problem, is NOT a "disklabel" problem, and you did NOT install FreeBSD incorrectly on the disk (at this point). So here is what I am going to cover: What circumstances does this occur under? Where does the message come from ? Why does it occur? and finally, What's the solution ? 1. Circumstances: ============== As mention earlier, you probably have a SCSI controller, a SCSI hard disk that you are using to boot from, you dedicated FreeBSD to the whole drive, and just some bad luck. I Don't believe this happens with IDE drives. I have all Phoenix BIOS's, Adaptec controllers and all Seagate SCSI hard drives and this happens to me. And other posters don't give all the complete hardware details of their system to compare with. (I don't believe that the BIOS in the PC ROM is the BIOS that boots the system, but the BIOS in your SCSI Controller card that is performing the boot. (Just try turning off the DOS INT 13H stuff on the SCSI card and see what you get). Thus I don't know if it matters whether you have a Phoenix BIOS (like all my machines do) or whether you are using maybe AMI etc. etc. and encountering this.) 2. Where does the message come from ? ================================== The message indeed comes from not the BIOS, but FreeBSD, namely the "boot1" program which lies on sector 0 of the hard disk. This first sector of the hard disk is commonly known as the "boot block" and also as the "Master Boot Record" or "MBR" for short. This boot block is the first block that is read off of the hard disk, placed into memory, and jumped to by the bootstrapping microcode in the BIOS. Buried in the boot code is the "Read error" message, along with another message "No bootable partition". This boot code also holds the fdisk partion table. When dedicating the whole drive to FreeBSD, this is just a "dummy" fdisk table. 3. Why does it occur ? =================== The reason this is occurs is because the FreeBSD boot1 program expects the BIOS boot device number to be passed to it in the "dl" register by the BIOS bootstrap code. A note here, is that ALL disk i/o activity is handled by the system BIOS UNTIL the kernel is loaded and started. Then the disk i/o bypasses the BIOS through the SCSI sub-system. (The BIOS calls are the int 13h stuff ...) Apparently, and I do not know why, there are circumstances in which the BIOS bootstrap code fails to place the BIOS boot device number into this register. Without this device number in register dl, the boot1 program doesn't branch to the normal booting off the hard drive code. But instead, it tries to boot off of the floppy disk. Yes the floppy disk. But since their isn't a bootable floppy disk in the dirve, the BIOS call to read the boot block off of the floppy disk fails, and finally boot1 issues a "Read error" and terminates (actually, it "terminates" by puting itself into an endless loop). So when you get "Read error", it has absolutely nothing to do with your hard drive! Very misleading! 4. What's the solution ? ======================= There are 2 options. Both easy to do. 1. You can do a "shared" or cooperative installation and live with it. Yuck. -or- 2. You can apply two lines of assembler code to the boot1 program, compile and install it on your hard drive. (You don't have to know assembler to fix this folks). I won't discuss option number 1, so here is how to do option 2. Enclosed at the end of this post is my complete fixed boot1 program and a listing of just the diffs. How to fix: ----------= 1. Since you are getting a "Read error", boot off of the floppy boot disk and at the "Boot:" prompt type: 0:sd(0,a)/kernel This will load the kernel from the hard disk and get you going like you didn't have any problem booting. 2. Make sure the kernel source is installed. 3. Become the super user. 4. # cd /usr/mdec This is where a copy your boot code lies. boot1 and boot2 is the code that lies on sector 0 and sector 1 respectively. Do a "strings boot1" and you will see the "Read error" message in it. 5. Make a backup copy of boot1 and boot2 so you can always restore the boot code back. 6. # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot This is the source code directory for boot1 and boot2. The files here are all prety much in assembler. 7. Make a backup copy of "start.S" This is a small program written in assembler. When it gets compiled, it will become the boot1 prograrm. This is the file we want to modify. 8. Either use my "start.S" file enclosed, or edit your own start.S file and put following code in right below the "fd:" label in start.S: <------- snip here -------------------> mov $0x0080, %edx jmp hd <------- end snip -------------------> If you want boot1 to display a message to your console, saying something like it can't boot properly and it's taking this catch all branch instead, tailor this to your liking and place below the "fd:" label vs. using the code just above: <------- snip here -------------------> data32 mov $msg1, %esi data32 call message data32 mov $msg2, %esi data32 call message data32 mov $0x0080, %edx jmp hd msg1: String "boot1: BIOS bootstrap code failed to specify drive.\r\n\0" msg2: String "boot1: using hard coded boot device as hard disk (0x80).\r\n\0" <------- end snip -------------------> DON'T get to message happy, as the whole boot1 program has to fit into one 512 byte sector size. 9. Save your changes 10. # make 11. # make install This will overwrite boot1 and boot2 in /usr/mdec. 12. # disklabel -B -b boot1 sd0 This will install /usr/mdec/boot1 onto sector 0 of the hard drive for booting. 13. Remove the floppy from the drive if you haven't done so. 14. # reboot Now your message should appear (if you had put one in start.S) and then should see the FreeBSD "Boot:" prompt on your screen. This "Boot:" prompt is from sector 1 of your hard disk, which is boot2, so you now know that boot1 is working! Yeah. :) 4. Comments ========= I say that this is a BIOS/Hard drive combonation problem, and NOT just a BIOS quirk as some say. This is why: Given one machine of mine, if I install FreeBSD onto a 1.1 GB SCSI HD using an Adaptec 2940U SCSI-2 controller, I get "Read error". Now, take that drive out. Replace it with a 2.1 GB SCSI HD, install FreeBSD and it boots and works correctly! Seeing how the ONLY change in the system was the hard drives (both where Seagate by the way), it is not isolated to _just_ the BIOS itself. Weird. I have been through so many combonations of drives (old and new), controllers and PC's that I can't even count them. I can sum it up this way: Adaptec 2940 series with Seagate 1.1GB hard drives --> Read error. Adaptec 1542 series with Seagate 1.1GB hard drives --> OK. One thing that is nice about the way the code is patched in start.S is that you can use that boot1 code on any dedicated FreeBSD machine you have. If you have a "normal" booting machine, it will never hit the patched code. If you have a "Read error" machine, then the patch will catch it and still let you boot. This solved a dilema I had in that I have a bunch of production machines using the 1542 series, but I am slowly upgrading them to the 2940AU series. Well, now I can have one hot spare disk with the patched boot code on it for when/if I have a hard disk crash, I know that the drive will boot with either controller on it. It also answers my question of the SCSI formats and how backward compatable SCSI is. I can put in a 2940AU and run FreeBSD that was installed on the disk via an old 1542B card and run with it. What causes the BIOS to pass the BIOS boot drive number into register dl in one situation and not the next, I don't know why. Maybe there is a BIOS/assembler guru out there that can answer this ;) ? I would like to know if Linux does/would have this problem as well. I am real tempted to buy a copy of Linux to test it out this hardware setup that I have. I hope I have helped others with this post. Maybe the FreeBSD team can redo the startup code to address this in some way?

To: faq@FreeBSD.ORG Date sent: Tue, 7 Apr 1998 17:57:43 -0500 (CDT) Hello, I am submitting this FAQ in hope that it may be entered into the official FreeBSD FAQ. After experiencing this problem first hand, searching the net, watching and posting to the mailing list, I have had no luck in getting a decent reply in how to fix the problem or what is going wrong. This problem is not just an isolated incident. In the approximately nine months of monitoring the mailing lists, I am seeing this question posted more and more from various users. So I dug into the source code and this is what I found as the problem and a solution to it. Enclosed at the very end of this letter, is the post I am posting to the questions@FreeBSD.org mailing list. That post goes into more detail, and this letter is really just a summary of that. IF you do decide to put this Q&A in the official FAQ, please feel free edit this info to what is more appropriate for the FAQ. Thanks, Roger P. Johnson rjohnson@hirshfields.com (612) 374-0230 Here is the Q&A for the FAQ: Q: I've just installed FreeBSD on my hard disk, and now when I boot, all I get is "Read error". Now what? A: Chances are, you have a SCSI controller card, a SCSI hard disk as the boot device, and you've installed FreeBSD dedicating the whole drive so as not to remain "cooperative" with other OS's. First of all, let me say this: This is problem ... is NOT a "geometry" problem, is NOT an "fdisk" problem, is NOT a "disklabel" problem, and you did NOT install FreeBSD incorrectly on the disk (at this point). Your BIOS bootstrap code is not passing the BIOS boot device in register "dl". The FreeBSD boot program "boot1" which is on the first sector of the disk, expects this to be in register dl. But in your case, since it is not setup in the dl register, the way boot1 is coded, it will then try to boot off of a bootable floppy disk in the disk drive. And since you don't have a floppy in the floppy disk drive, the boot1 program halts and issues the "Read error" message. To fix this quirk in your boot up procedure, you need to manually apply a patch to the boot1 program, compile, install and reboot. How to fix: ----------- 1. Since you are getting a "Read error", boot off of the floppy boot disk and at the "Boot:" prompt type: 0:sd(0,a)/kernel This will load the kernel from the hard disk and get you going like you didn't have any problem booting. 2. Make sure the kernel source is installed. 3. Become the super user. 4. # cd /usr/mdec This is where a copy your boot code lies. boot1 and boot2 is the code that lies on sector 0 and sector 1 respectively. Do a "strings boot1" and you will see the "Read error" message in it. 5. Make a backup copy of boot1 and boot2 so you can always restore the boot code back. 6. # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot This is the source code directory for boot1 and boot2. The files here are all prety much in assembler. 7. Make a backup copy of "start.S" This is a small program written in assembler. When it gets compiled, it will become the boot1 prograrm. This is the file we want to modify. 8. Put following code in right below the "fd:" label in start.S: <------- snip here -------------------> mov $0x0080, %edx jmp hd <------- end snip -------------------> If you want boot1 to display a message to your console, saying something like it can't boot properly and it's taking this catch all branch instead, tailor this to your liking and place below the "fd:" label vs. using the code just above: <------- snip here -------------------> data32 mov $msg1, %esi data32 call message data32 mov $msg2, %esi data32 call message data32 mov $0x0080, %edx jmp hd msg1: String "boot1: BIOS bootstrap code failed to specify drive.\r\n\0" msg2: String "boot1: using hard coded boot device as hard disk (0x80).\r\n\0" <------- end snip -------------------> DON'T get to message happy, as the whole boot1 program has to fit into one 512 byte sector size. 9. Save your changes 10. # make 11. # make install This will overwrite boot1 and boot2 in /usr/mdec. 12. # disklabel -B -b boot1 sd0 This will install /usr/mdec/boot1 onto sector 0 of the hard drive for booting. 13. Remove the floppy from the drive if you haven't done so. 14. # reboot Now your message should appear (if you had put one in start.S) and then should see the FreeBSD "Boot:" prompt on your screen. This "Boot:" prompt is from sector 1 of your hard disk, which is boot2, so you now know that boot1 is working! Yeah. :) End of FAQ letter. ================================================================================ Beginning of my detailed posting to "questions@FreeBSD.org" ================================================================================ Hi! For all of you that have encountered this annoyance of a problem, I have good news for you! Below are the hows and whys of the "Read error" message that you receive on boot after installing FreeBSD. I have been trying to get an answer to this for the last 6-9+ months, and have been unable to get an explanation of what this problem is and how to _really_ fix it. Finally I started looking at the startup code and found the problem. Isn't having the source code available wonderful? :) I checked the FreeBSD homepage pertaining to FAQ Question #103 which only mentions the "Read error" in passing, but to no use. A similar post to this has been submitted to the FAQ maintainers. Maybe it can be put in the FAQ for the next poor soul that encounter this. OK. Here's the stuff you want to know: Q: I've just installed FreeBSD on my hard disk, and now when I boot, all I get is "Read error". Now what? Chances are, you have a SCSI controller card, a SCSI hard disk as the boot device, and you've installed FreeBSD dedicating the whole drive so as not to remain "cooperative" with other OS's. First of all, let me say this: This is problem ... is NOT a "geometry" problem, is NOT an "fdisk" problem, is NOT a "disklabel" problem, and you did NOT install FreeBSD incorrectly on the disk (at this point). So here is what I am going to cover: What circumstances does this occur under? Where does the message come from ? Why does it occur? and finally, What's the solution ? 1. Circumstances: ============== As mention earlier, you probably have a SCSI controller, a SCSI hard disk that you are using to boot from, you dedicated FreeBSD to the whole drive, and just some bad luck. I Don't believe this happens with IDE drives. I have all Phoenix BIOS's, Adaptec controllers and all Seagate SCSI hard drives and this happens to me. And other posters don't give all the complete hardware details of their system to compare with. (I don't believe that the BIOS in the PC ROM is the BIOS that boots the system, but the BIOS in your SCSI Controller card that is performing the boot. (Just try turning off the DOS INT 13H stuff on the SCSI card and see what you get). Thus I don't know if it matters whether you have a Phoenix BIOS (like all my machines do) or whether you are using maybe AMI etc. etc. and encountering this.) 2. Where does the message come from ? ================================== The message indeed comes from not the BIOS, but FreeBSD, namely the "boot1" program which lies on sector 0 of the hard disk. This first sector of the hard disk is commonly known as the "boot block" and also as the "Master Boot Record" or "MBR" for short. This boot block is the first block that is read off of the hard disk, placed into memory, and jumped to by the bootstrapping microcode in the BIOS. Buried in the boot code is the "Read error" message, along with another message "No bootable partition". This boot code also holds the fdisk partion table. When dedicating the whole drive to FreeBSD, this is just a "dummy" fdisk table. 3. Why does it occur ? =================== The reason this is occurs is because the FreeBSD boot1 program expects the BIOS boot device number to be passed to it in the "dl" register by the BIOS bootstrap code. A note here, is that ALL disk i/o activity is handled by the system BIOS UNTIL the kernel is loaded and started. Then the disk i/o bypasses the BIOS through the SCSI sub-system. (The BIOS calls are the int 13h stuff ...) Apparently, and I do not know why, there are circumstances in which the BIOS bootstrap code fails to place the BIOS boot device number into this register. Without this device number in register dl, the boot1 program doesn't branch to the normal booting off the hard drive code. But instead, it tries to boot off of the floppy disk. Yes the floppy disk. But since their isn't a bootable floppy disk in the dirve, the BIOS call to read the boot block off of the floppy disk fails, and finally boot1 issues a "Read error" and terminates (actually, it "terminates" by puting itself into an endless loop). So when you get "Read error", it has absolutely nothing to do with your hard drive! Very misleading! 4. What's the solution ? ======================= There are 2 options. Both easy to do. 1. You can do a "shared" or cooperative installation and live with it. Yuck. -or- 2. You can apply two lines of assembler code to the boot1 program, compile and install it on your hard drive. (You don't have to know assembler to fix this folks). I won't discuss option number 1, so here is how to do option 2. Enclosed at the end of this post is my complete fixed boot1 program and a listing of just the diffs. How to fix: ----------= 1. Since you are getting a "Read error", boot off of the floppy boot disk and at the "Boot:" prompt type: 0:sd(0,a)/kernel This will load the kernel from the hard disk and get you going like you didn't have any problem booting. 2. Make sure the kernel source is installed. 3. Become the super user. 4. # cd /usr/mdec This is where a copy your boot code lies. boot1 and boot2 is the code that lies on sector 0 and sector 1 respectively. Do a "strings boot1" and you will see the "Read error" message in it. 5. Make a backup copy of boot1 and boot2 so you can always restore the boot code back. 6. # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot This is the source code directory for boot1 and boot2. The files here are all prety much in assembler. 7. Make a backup copy of "start.S" This is a small program written in assembler. When it gets compiled, it will become the boot1 prograrm. This is the file we want to modify. 8. Either use my "start.S" file enclosed, or edit your own start.S file and put following code in right below the "fd:" label in start.S: <------- snip here -------------------> mov $0x0080, %edx jmp hd <------- end snip -------------------> If you want boot1 to display a message to your console, saying something like it can't boot properly and it's taking this catch all branch instead, tailor this to your liking and place below the "fd:" label vs. using the code just above: <------- snip here -------------------> data32 mov $msg1, %esi data32 call message data32 mov $msg2, %esi data32 call message data32 mov $0x0080, %edx jmp hd msg1: String "boot1: BIOS bootstrap code failed to specify drive.\r\n\0" msg2: String "boot1: using hard coded boot device as hard disk (0x80).\r\n\0" <------- end snip -------------------> DON'T get to message happy, as the whole boot1 program has to fit into one 512 byte sector size. 9. Save your changes 10. # make 11. # make install This will overwrite boot1 and boot2 in /usr/mdec. 12. # disklabel -B -b boot1 sd0 This will install /usr/mdec/boot1 onto sector 0 of the hard drive for booting. 13. Remove the floppy from the drive if you haven't done so. 14. # reboot Now your message should appear (if you had put one in start.S) and then should see the FreeBSD "Boot:" prompt on your screen. This "Boot:" prompt is from sector 1 of your hard disk, which is boot2, so you now know that boot1 is working! Yeah. :) 4. Comments ========= I say that this is a BIOS/Hard drive combonation problem, and NOT just a BIOS quirk as some say. This is why: Given one machine of mine, if I install FreeBSD onto a 1.1 GB SCSI HD using an Adaptec 2940U SCSI-2 controller, I get "Read error". Now, take that drive out. Replace it with a 2.1 GB SCSI HD, install FreeBSD and it boots and works correctly! Seeing how the ONLY change in the system was the hard drives (both where Seagate by the way), it is not isolated to _just_ the BIOS itself. Weird. I have been through so many combonations of drives (old and new), controllers and PC's that I can't even count them. I can sum it up this way: Adaptec 2940 series with Seagate 1.1GB hard drives --> Read error. Adaptec 1542 series with Seagate 1.1GB hard drives --> OK. One thing that is nice about the way the code is patched in start.S is that you can use that boot1 code on any dedicated FreeBSD machine you have. If you have a "normal" booting machine, it will never hit the patched code. If you have a "Read error" machine, then the patch will catch it and still let you boot. This solved a dilema I had in that I have a bunch of production machines using the 1542 series, but I am slowly upgrading them to the 2940AU series. Well, now I can have one hot spare disk with the patched boot code on it for when/if I have a hard disk crash, I know that the drive will boot with either controller on it. It also answers my question of the SCSI formats and how backward compatable SCSI is. I can put in a 2940AU and run FreeBSD that was installed on the disk via an old 1542B card and run with it. What causes the BIOS to pass the BIOS boot drive number into register dl in one situation and not the next, I don't know why. Maybe there is a BIOS/assembler guru out there that can answer this ;) ? I would like to know if Linux does/would have this problem as well. I am real tempted to buy a copy of Linux to test it out this hardware setup that I have. I hope I have helped others with this post. Maybe the FreeBSD team can redo the startup code to address this in some way?

Seriously, I cvsup the doc stuff the same time I cvsup'd 2.2.6-RELEASE, and there's a section in the FAQ on how PnP devices are detected and initialized, but not really the mechanics of playing with the USERCONFIG stuff in the kernel after booting with -c. I would have thought such an important new feature would be better documented. Oh well, I can understand how one runs out of time. The pnpinfo and pnp and dset man pages are okay, but if you're not all that familiar with Plug n Play stuff, they don't quite tell you what to do. -Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 7 20:56:19 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id UAA07913 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Tue, 7 Apr 1998 20:56:19 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from fciencias.ens.uabc.mx ([148.231.177.14]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id UAA07901 for ; Tue, 7 Apr 1998 20:56:12 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from mbarbosa@fciencias.ens.uabc.mx) Received: (from mbarbosa@localhost) by fciencias.ens.uabc.mx (8.8.7/8.8.7) id UAA26581 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Tue, 7 Apr 1998 20:58:49 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from mbarbosa) From: "Marco A.

Can you connect out OK from xcalibur? sorry, I had specified all of that in an earlier mail... (try 1) but I kinda sent it to the owner I think... *chuckle* that is what the previous "ooops" was about... ok... stuck, as in... no more Xcalibur, noone on the network can connect to it... it does not exist... well, some times if you leave a telnet long enough to it, after 3 + minutes it gives you the ^] thing to tell you you can disconnect with it.. but nothing more... no, pinging fails... no pinging allowed in or out when it gets stuck... no, if you are sitting in the Xcalibur console when that happens you get isolated from the network... and if you are lucky enough to have gotten into Fciencias before Xcalibur falls... you still have access out of Fciencias, but dont try to check your files cuz you get stuck... (remember... nfs, the files are in the Xcalibur hard drive), and if you try to connect to Fciencias from the outside... well, you cant(remember the nis thing... all the users and passwds are kinda inside Xcalibur) what else? hmmm > >> After a few minutes, things get back to normal, but its >> pretty annoying to not be able to log into Fciencias, >> cuz its the main mail server and web server and other >> stuff. > >Either xcalibur is going south or your network is going south.

South? what do you mean south? we are already south... we are in Baja... hmm? yep, yep, I mentioned that too on the previous nis/nfs try... but it went to... someone else... I guess... *chuckle* yes, we get lots of log entires... something about server unreachable... or... something... and something about someone alive. I dont remember the logs... let me check... ok, after erasing login failures, popper errors... etc... we have something like this...

The default clue helped a lot and the ppp only in root bit was a new one too. I am still having problems, but getting closer. ppp seems a little buggy.

At this point, it dials just fine, but seems to hang suspened in negotiation.

Does anyone know of a way to go into a debug mode to watch the negotiation? I know the name & passwd work as they are used on my win95 box ok.

But then that may be my problem for not knowing all the ins and outs of upgrading. To the problem at hand. I did have a running 2.2.5 which I received via ftp. I have had no problems with ppp after reading the handbook and some other sources from FreeBSD. With 2.2.6 this seems to have changed. I can't get a PPP connection but get a ppp connection which is obviously useless. I have not changed ISP's nor have I changed what I put in for the settings for ppp. I have tried using 10.0.0.1/0 as my IP address along with 0 as the ISP's address. When I do connect, I see the send and read lights of the modem (USR 56K) going very fast together. I do not have any idea as to what the cause is. I have tried using "set authname" and "set authkey" with their true setting. All but for no luck. As I have said above, I had no problem in text mode to do, ppp, dial (isp name) as I had a working ppp.conf and ppp.linkup, to get a full PPP connection.

Okay, we've established that you can't contact Xcalibur when it goes brain dead. Now, can Xcalibur connect to anyone during this period, ie if you're sitting at the console can you ping/telnet anywhere? > >Either xcalibur is going south or your network is going south.

No, actually, HUPping everything may fix it since it encourages the server to dump all outstanding connections and reinitialize itself. Or it's some very simple server that HUPping kills completely. What type of NIC is in Xcalibur, and what type of network is it connected to?

I have three Win95 boxes and two FreeBSD boxes. I would like for all of these machine to be able to browse the internet, do ftp, pop/imap mail, etc. Also I would like to be able to ftp or telnet into the FreeBSD boxes from a remote site. Right now I am using a test version of Wingate; it does all I need it to do, however the cost for it is outrageous, and OSR2 does not meet the stability of FreeBSD. I want to be able to have the same setup as I do know (internal browsing, FTP and telnet to the outside, and the same from the oustide in) off of my ISDN. Which program(s) am I looking for? I've heard some about natd, squid, and ipfw (along with pppd of course), but I'm unclear whether any/all of these will accomplish the same thing as I have now.

Well, I have in /etc/ttys # If you want to be asked for password, # change "secure" to "insecure" here console none unknown off insecure I have also disabled boot from floppy and activated BIOS password to give better security (I known, one could always open the box...). So this is not really needed but one of those "nice-to-have" things. > Are you running NIS? Yes, this is a NIS client. I was doing some LKM development and had a pointer error somewhere... So I rebooted (again). Somehow /var was corrupted and fsck was unable to repair it. As a result my pc could not go to multi-user mode. So there I was -- being asked for root's password to enter the single-user mode (which was not accepted). Which in turn means I could not run "fsck -y /var" manually. So this was like a chicken-egg -thing... The solution was to boot with installation floppy and use the FixIt floppy, and run fsck. But the question remains: why can't I login? /Martti To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 8 01:02:00 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id BAA13163 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Wed, 8 Apr 1998 01:02:00 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from post.mail.demon.net (post-30.mail.demon.net [194.217.242.40]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id BAA13138 for ; Wed, 8 Apr 1998 01:01:54 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from bobh@n-cantrell.demon.co.uk) Received: from (n-cantrell.demon.co.uk) [193.237.193.139] by post.mail.demon.net with smtp (Exim 1.82 #2) id 0yMpns-00048Q-00; Wed, 8 Apr 1998 09:01:52 +0100 Message-ID: Date: Wed, 8 Apr 1998 09:00:12 +0100 To: Doug White Cc: FreeBSD Questions From: robert w hall Subject: Re: freebsd 2.2.5 kernel on cyrix 686 M2-MMX cpu In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Turnpike Trial Version 3.04 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Latest News - the new 2.2.6 generic kernel, downloaded to a floppy, does appear to boot ok on my cyrix box (not much help to me though, since I've bought the full 2.2.5 CDROM set!)

I have the 2.2.5 on a CD but the comapq only has a PCMCIA floppy drive. I also have a xircom modem/ethernet card and my desktop at home acts as a gateway for my home area network (HAN). I would ideally like to do a net ( ftp ) install but since I have to boot up the laptop with a floppy and since the floppy uses the PCMCIA slot I cannot have the ethernet card in it at the same time. Can someone please enlighten me as to what is the best way to get freebsd on my laptop in these circumstances. Can I boot the floppy image from my HD while having the ethernet card plugged in and then do a ftp install. I intend to use the PAO floppy image and I have checked the lists on the PAO page to find the Aero listed there. i would like to run netscape on the laptop so that I can browse the web from the living room . The laptop only has 4MB of RAMThe laptop only has 4MB of RAM. Would 4MB be enuff for running netscape on a laptop . Any experiences with the above install and netscape queries would very helpful. thanx Ash ;) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 8 01:30:46 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id BAA18655 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Wed, 8 Apr 1998 01:30:46 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from dt050n33.san.rr.com (@dt050n33.san.rr.com [204.210.31.51]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id BAA18638; Wed, 8 Apr 1998 01:30:41 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from Studded@san.rr.com) Received: from san.rr.com (Studded@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by dt050n33.san.rr.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id BAA04482; Wed, 8 Apr 1998 01:30:26 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from Studded@san.rr.com) Message-ID: <352B35A1.5BA5AB6C@san.rr.com> Date: Wed, 08 Apr 1998 01:30:25 -0700 From: Studded Organization: Triborough Bridge & Tunnel Authority X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.05 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2.6-STABLE-0325 i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Brian Reichert CC: hackers@FreeBSD.ORG, FreeBSD Questions Subject: Re: dhcpc and ed3 interface References: <19980407224839.64875@numachi.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG First off, this belonged on -questions, not hackers.

My experience with the wide client was that it was susceptible to the kinds of frustrations you describe.

(e.g. a 4.5gb IDE and a 2gb SCSI?) Aaargh. That's what comes of answering messages before reading them. For some reason I was thinking of mirroring. You *should* be able to configure disks this way if you don't interleave. I haven't tried it, but I have looked through the source code. It looks as if you can even specify interleave > 1 with unequal partions, but in this case it truncates all the partitions to the size of the smallest, definitely not what you want. vinum can do partial mirroring and true concatenation of unequal size partitions. It can't interleave unequal sized partitions. I consider it a bug, not a feature, than CCD should allow this. > Or whether you can CCD' an allready CCD'd array? I still think this is a bad idea.

There are a lot of issues with memory allocation involved with running layers like CCD. For example, you can hang your system running swap on a CCD device.

It is VERY sensitive, ad any typo or extra characters may interfere. Check out ppp.conf.sample (/etc/ppp) One more thing: call ppp using ppp -alias impulse You may also want to check for your login script. It seems it is not logging in. After calling ppp the sequence would be: ppp ON brain> dial Dial attempt 1 of 10 Phone: 2345678 dial OK! login OK! ppp ON brain> Packet mode. ppp ON brain> PPP ON brain> After "login ok", the "Packet mode" is automatic.

Sorry to post this here, but it's my best shot. In my hands I have a Pentium MB, whose PCI slots are not working at all. The original owner probably pulled the video card while the system was energized. The disk controller - embeded IDE, which I believe to be PCI - is working fine, the system runs smooth with ISA cards, but when one plugs a PCI Video card, no video signal is generated. FreeBSD runs fine also, and so does WInblows. Question: Does anyone knows, by chance what could possibly be change to fix this problem ? (I feel confortable when dealing with soldering iron and stuff like that, though I don't have an osciloscope, in case it is needed.) Additional info: Intel chipset. 1996 MB w/ 1993 BIOS (AMIBIOS AA0559458) Manufacturer ????? model 5DXP version 3.x on board cache (256K I guess) runnning Pentium chip at 150MHz Any other info I can give you ?

How do you know these two OSes run fine if you can't see any video? Do you have a different card that you have tested. If a different card works, then nothing is wrong with your main board.

Sorry I didn't provide further details. Let's go then: I've got this MB from another person and he told me: "It's yours, Enjoy !" and told me about the above problem. I've removed my working PCI video card from my computer, pluged it on the deffective MB and started it. Nothing. Then I removed the PCI card, inserted a ISA Video card, and Voila ! Images on the monitor ! I believe that other PCI cards won't run as well, though I didn't connect any network card, for instance, to see if FBSD detects it.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I installed Crack-5.0 using the package (not the port) and it seems to function, but I'm not sure it's working properly. I changed the shadmrg script to merge the /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd and ran Crack on the output. Crack was finished in less than 10 seconds. OK, so I only have 100 users on this system but I thought that this would be still quite an intensive task to run. Before this, I'd added a 'dummy' userid with passwd "HELLO" so that I could check that crack was actually doing something but strangely, Crack didn't find that (and I wouldn't have thought "HELLO" was a particularly intelligent passwd). Fortunately, Crack did discover 2 users with ridiculously easy passwds (since corrected). so I knew it was doing something. Looking at conf/dictrun.conf, I see that nearly all the rules were employed. Should it really have run so fast ? the Reporter also showed the following errors for all user : E:0:bad format: output.txt: username:$1$NTG2CU1tFICN2VX20:1029:1006:U ser &:/home/username:/bin/sh I was running Crack on a file output.txt, which was the output of running scripts/shadmrg.fbsd, based on the supplied shadmrg.sv : SHADOW=/etc/master.passwd PASSWD=/etc/passwd ( sed -e 's/^/STAG:/' < $SHADOW sed -e 's/^/PTAG:/' < $PASSWD ) | awk -F: ' BEGIN { OFS=":"; $1 == "STAG" { pw[$2] = $3; next; } $1 == "PTAG"{ $3 = pw[$2]; print $0; }' | I'm afraid I'm not an awk guy so if I just swapped the variable names at the top. Anyway, if there are any other changes that need to be done to get crack to work perform a more thorough check on FBSD ? chas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 8 08:51:12 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA24751 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Wed, 8 Apr 1998 08:51:12 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from server4.mpcbbs.com.br (server4.mpc.com.br [200.246.0.252]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA24698 for ; Wed, 8 Apr 1998 08:50:28 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from capriotti@geocities.com) Received: from hot_nt (node26.mpc.com.br [200.246.0.26]) by server4.mpcbbs.com.br (8.8.6/8.8.6) with SMTP id MAA15905 for ; Wed, 8 Apr 1998 12:50:18 -0300 (EST) Message-Id: <3.0.32.19980409004312.00cadd60@pop.mpc.com.br> X-Sender: capriotti@pop.mpc.com.br X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) Date: Thu, 09 Apr 1998 00:45:17 -0300 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: Capriotti Subject: Re: Pentium MB [off-topic] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Well, some more news about this problem: I connected a network card in the system (PCI, ne2000-like) and it worked fine.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Recently installed FreeBSD on a 75Mhz pentium that has 64 megabytes of memory. Video card has a Cirrus Logic 5446 chipset and using Xfree86 for the Xserver. Boy it works great. Used FTP for the install media and it went very well. The Unix people here are very impressed with it as well as I. Everything is working great except for Netscape...have installed Navigator 3.04, then Navigator 4.05, and now Communicator 4.05. They will all three hang up the system sooner or later. Could you give me some suggestions as to what I could try to fix it, or where to go look for help.

On a PC with 4 primary partitions (NTFS-OS/2 Boot Manager-FAT-FreeBSD) I wanted to remove NT and to change its partition to an extended DOS one (shame on me not to create a FreeBSD partition). I used FreeBSD's fdisk to change the partition id to 5. What happened? After rebooting Win 95 seemed to hang but after a couple of time it detected more then 26 logical DOS drives in that partition although DOS' fdisk couldn't detect anyone. It was impossible to delete or use this partition with DOS/W95. Trying to boot FreeBSD (2.2.2 & 2.2.5-R) even from a floppy gave no help. The kernel detected more than 32 slices within the extended partition and died without mercy after scanning the hardware. Of course I know now(!) that an extended DOS partition contains information about logical drives which FreeBSD's fdisk doesn't generate. But may be it would be possible to make the kernel accept more than 32 logical drives - I only wanted to delete the partition entry I made with FreeBSD !!! Shame on me once again: To repair the mysterious partition I booted Linux which was successful and I deleted the partition with the Linux fdisk.

To update the status of my progress further: Today I installed PAO and it's kernel which is based on 2.2.5-RELEASE. So now my 3C589D is using the ep driver instead of the zp driver and ShaZam! It works perfectly now! So it definitely looks like a problem in 2.2.6-RELEASE, perhaps with the zp driver (since, as I said above I discovered the problem exists in ftp as well and thus is not unique to NFS). Does any one know if it's possible to apply the PAO patches to the 2.2.6-RELEASE kernel? I'll try it anyhow and see for myself. This might help to narrow down where the problem is in 2.2.6. I'll follow-up with a report of my progress in this area...

Auteur : panda@peace.com.my Date : 08/04/98 17:28 I installed Crack-5.0 using the package (not the port) and it seems to function, but I'm not sure it's working properly. I changed the shadmrg script to merge the /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd and ran Crack on the output. Crack was finished in less than 10 seconds. OK, so I only have 100 users on this system but I thought that this would be still quite an intensive task to run. Before this, I'd added a 'dummy' userid with passwd "HELLO" so that I could check that crack was actually doing something but strangely, Crack didn't find that (and I wouldn't have thought "HELLO" was a particularly intelligent passwd). Fortunately, Crack did discover 2 users with ridiculously easy passwds (since corrected). so I knew it was doing something. Looking at conf/dictrun.conf, I see that nearly all the rules were employed. Should it really have run so fast ? the Reporter also showed the following errors for all user : E:0:bad format: output.txt: username:$1$NTG2CU1tFICN2VX20:1029:1006:U ser &:/home/username:/bin/sh I was running Crack on a file output.txt, which was the output of running scripts/shadmrg.fbsd, based on the supplied shadmrg.sv : SHADOW=/etc/master.passwd PASSWD=/etc/passwd ( sed -e 's/^/STAG:/' < $SHADOW sed -e 's/^/PTAG:/' < $PASSWD ) | awk -F: ' BEGIN { OFS=":"; $1 == "STAG" { pw[$2] = $3; next; } $1 == "PTAG"{ $3 = pw[$2]; print $0; }' | I'm afraid I'm not an awk guy so if I just swapped the variable names at the top. Anyway, if there are any other changes that need to be done to get crack to work perform a more thorough check on FBSD ? chas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 8 10:39:25 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id KAA19120 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Wed, 8 Apr 1998 10:39:25 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from hudsucker.gamespot.com (hudsucker.gamespot.com [206.169.18.74]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id KAA19115 for ; Wed, 8 Apr 1998 10:39:19 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jsd@hudsucker.gamespot.com) Received: (from jsd@localhost) by hudsucker.gamespot.com (8.8.7/8.8.7) id KAA11485; Wed, 8 Apr 1998 10:39:21 -0700 (PDT) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Date: Wed, 8 Apr 1998 10:39:20 -0700 (PDT) From: Random Junk To: Malte Lance Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: 2.2.6 unstable In-Reply-To: <3.0.32.19980408083139.006ddf60@cyclone.degnet.baynet.de> References: <3.0.32.19980408083139.006ddf60@cyclone.degnet.baynet.de> X-Mailer: VM 6.43 under 20.3 "Vatican City" XEmacs Lucid Message-ID: <13611.46620.791172.360197@hudsucker.gamespot.com> Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Malte Lance wrote this: > Which IRQ does your adaptec use ? > (Just asking because the symptoms are the same i had with my hangs. > Resetting the machine did not help; xterms where seg-faulting with sig-11. > I had always to power the machine off and on again.) it's on IRQ 10. someone else suggested the RAM might be faulty, which was actually what i was thinking. i swapped it out and it has been fine since yesterday... my fingers are crossed but i'll try changing the adaptec IRQ if it flakes out again. -- Jon Drukman jsd@gamespot.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Plan: Eat right, exercise regularly, die anyway.

Most motherboards come with two onboard controllers these days. Regarding sound cards, you can indeed attach a disk to them -- I have one attached to my SB16. Getting back to the original poster's question -- are you sure that the floppy drives are on an IDE controller? That would be very unusual; generally they have their own controller. Check the cable, it should look different to the IDE one. You might have another IDE controller that you don't know about :) Maybe check your BIOS setup screens and see how many hard drives it will let you configure.

Win95 is notorious for reading the cdrom even if the jumpers are set incorrectly. (At least w95 is notorious on my system.

Thanx for any help. '/dev/wd0s2' is most likely your BSD partition. '/dev/wd0s1' is most likely your dos partition. Are you sure you have these straight?

NT is slow. Allow it 2 minutes - minimun - to read the network again, or it will try to use the cached network info it's saved. If you have your user list on the FBSD machine, AND an NT on the network, you will need to take special care, or the username/password won't work. Take a closer look at the documentation; If you can't locate it, unpack the samba package in one directory, and search for the .txt and html files there. They solve almost any problem. I hope it helped.

The ACL is a Kerberos thing; that's not what you need to fix (unless you are using Kerberos, in which case I won't even try to explain things because I'm not too sure about it).

However, I've been trying to switch to the ISC client but am having problems with it. I have two NICs in my machine, ed0 and ed1. ed0 is my internet connection that needs dhcp to get the address from my ISP. ed1 is the interface to my home LAN, with a static IP address. The problem I have with the ISC client is that it works fine in setting up ed0 but I can't get it to leave ed1 alone. It insists on setting ed1's IP address to 0.0.0.0. I've RTFM'ed everything I can and have tried a lot of stuff in the config file, all to no avail. I'm sure it's probably a config problem but I can't see it. Any suggestions? I tried the web page but keep getting 404 File Not Found... Thanks...

FreeBSD does not have run levels like IRIX (or System V, but I am not sure about System V). If you look in '/etc' you will notice that 'rc2.d', 'rc0d', and 'rc6.d' are all missing. For FreeBSD, to start xdm automatically at boot you should include an appriate command line in the file '/etc/rc.local' Mine simply has an entry 'xdm' and that's all.

Yeah, multi-nic support is being improved for the next version. For now the standard answer is to make default settings for the second one so that if dhclient does step on it for some reason it will at least put in what you want it to have. :) Also, starting it with 'dhclient ed0' helps in some cases. > I tried the web page but keep getting 404 File Not Found...

I don't want to hurt anything. I have two Maxtor IDE drives: a 3.2G Diamondmax (UltraDMA), and a 2.1G CrystalMax (Not UDMA). My controllers don't support UDMA anyway. I just want to make sure I can do the following. Suppose I partition the disks like this. 3.2G 2.1G ---- ---- 64M swap 64M swap 2.1G-64M /usr1 2.1G-64M /usr2 64M / remainder /usr The idea, of course, is to get two file systems, /usr1 and /usr2 that are the same size. Then I'll do an ordinary install onto / and /usr, ccd /usr1 and /usr2. Finally, I'll move the /usr stuff to the ccd and mount it on /usr resulting, I hope, in better performance from my disks, and I'll use the former /usr partition just for sources and ports distfiles. Does this make sense? I'd appreciate any pointers--good options to ccdconfig for the intended use, for example. Thanks.

Normally, I do dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd1 count=100 disklabel -wrB sd1 auto disklabel -e sd1 newfs, ... which creates a dangerously dedicated disk and all is well but this disk won't boot on a Siemens system (Read error, because of their "famous" Phoenix BIOS).

Same thing happened to one of my customer's systems. Turns out it's some fifteen year old boy's http exploit that happened to connect to your open syslog port. If you don't need to accept logs from remote sites, kill syslogd and restart it with -s. You can also put that flag in /etc/rc.conf.

Roger, thanks for your post. Our FAQ maintainer has gone AWOL on us, so I'm taking over his position, assuming he doesn't suddenly appear again. The Handbook and FAQ are undergoing a conversion to their SGML source, so it may be a while before this appears in the online FAQ. Stay tuned and let me know of any parts you want to add/change.

Well, considering that FreeBSD doesn't support Xircom ethernet cards, your problem is well, lessened. :) You can make the floppy show up by setting flag 0x1 on the fdc controller in the boot-time configuration. You probably need to do a DOS install.

Please check the termination is *absolutely* correct (termination on on devices at the end of the bus, termination power should come from the bus) and that your cable is of high quality.

Try booting and put -v on the Boot: prompt, then when the Probing Devices .. message comes up hit ALT-F2.

I don't think it's supported, no. Try a Symbios-based card or an Adaptec. Assuming you're using a Pentium class machine, the Adaptec 2940 (not 2940A) series is an excellent card.

This depends on your system. Some will allow you to scan the SCSI disks before the IDE ones. Otherwise you will have to type 1:sd(0,a)/kernel at the boot: prompt to start the system.

I would think that Mozilla would have a `read file' option. If anything, open up a big xterm, select all the text, then paste. Not everyone on the list can deal with MIME attachments.

Up to a point. There are a number of ways to shoot yourself in the foot. I'm assuming a striped rather than a concatenated organization, since your goal is performance, not reliability. 1. Make sure you put your / file system up front. There are various limits that can bite you and stop the system from booting otherwise. You also probably don't need more than 40 MB / unless you have some strange things you want to do there. 2. The partitions used by ccd don't have file system names. You might call them /dev/wd0s1f and /dev/wd1s1f, for example. 3. You don't really need the third /usr file system. You can set ccd up to run before you go multi-user, so the ccd file systems are enough. 4. If one of your disks dies, ccd is too stupid to bring up the remaining one by itself. You'll have to reboot and reconfigure ccd. I believe the correct ccdconfig entry for this would be: ccd0 128 CCDF_UNIFORM /dev/wd0s1f /dev/wd1s1f In vinum (remember, you read it here first) you would define a file system like this: drive a device /dev/wd0s1f drive b device /dev/wd1s1f volume usr plex org striped 64k subdisk size 64m drive a subdisk size 64m drive b Greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 9 00:52:28 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id AAA18221 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 00:52:28 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from allegro.lemis.com (allegro.lemis.com [192.109.197.134]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id AAA18205 for ; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 00:52:16 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from grog@lemis.com) Received: from freebie.lemis.com (freebie.lemis.com [192.109.197.137]) by allegro.lemis.com (8.8.7/8.8.5) with ESMTP id RAA15553; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 17:21:49 +0930 (CST) Received: (from grog@localhost) by freebie.lemis.com (8.8.8/8.8.7) id RAA28201; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 17:21:48 +0930 (CST) (envelope-from grog) Message-ID: <19980409172148.57622@freebie.lemis.com> Date: Thu, 9 Apr 1998 17:21:48 +0930 From: Greg Lehey To: anthony@sohopros.com, questions Subject: Re: sending an attachment?

Doug White observes that not everybody has a mailer which supports MIME. My comment above applies to these people too. On the whole, I prefer MIME attachments if the nature of the document really suits being an attachment. I think your case is a good example of when to use an attachment. A bad example might be a .sig.

I tried it about 18 months ago, and found it surprisingly good, but missing a few features. They could have been added in the meantime, of course. Given the problems that Microsoft has introduced with line breaks, I'm currently very cautious with graphics-oriented mailers. A pity, since they potentially have a lot to offer.

How do you know it is exactly 18 months ago (probably 18.5) ??? I don't. That's why I said "about 18 months ago" (about = ungefähr). >> missing a few features.

It is set up on a new system with NO load and NO traffic. Here is a clipping of my system: CPU: AMD-K6tm w/ multimedia extensions (233.86-MHz 586-class CPU) Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x562 Stepping=2 Features=0x8001bf real memory = 67108864 (65536K bytes) avail memory = 61206528 (59772K bytes) Probing for devices on PCI bus 0: chip0 rev 3 on pci0:0: 0 chip1 rev 39 on pci0:7 :0 pci0:7:1: VIA Technologies, device=0x0571, class=storage (ide) [no driver assign ed] ed1 rev 0 int a irq 11 on pci0:11:0 ed1: address 00:c0:f0:2a:7c:29, type NE2000 (16 bit) Probing for PnP devices: No Plug-n-Play devices were found. My first question is, why is it listing it as a (16 bit) card? My second question is why is it so slow to the first stop (router) outside of my box.. traceroute: 1 badboy.ieway.com (204.188.52.1) 1.991 ms 2.094 ms 2.094 ms This new system is also on a new provider. My old system on the old provider with a true 16 bit card running 2.2.5 (compared to 2.2.6 of the new system) pulls traceroutes to te first router at times of less then .5 ms When the old system and the new system was on the same hub, I could pull files from the old system to the new system at the rate of over 1MB/sec. According to the Kingston manual, PCI transfer up to 132 MB/sec EISA transfer up to 33 MB/sec ISA transfer up to 8 MB/sec Now granted, #1 those are high to make them look better, #2 those reflect BEST case situations and #3 The file downloaded was binary which would be slower. So, my major question is, is it the card, settings, or new provider that would be slowing down the works? Also, is there a way to do a flood test on the ethernet card to see how well it handles it's self? BTW, GREAT job on 2.2.6, had no problems getting the OS to run, and I see a few nasty bugs are fixed, mainly the : anyuser can freeze up the machine with a simple kill command :). Also, I have run many other test's, trying to break the OS (mainly scripts that run commands and also spawn other process's that do the same) and the OS ends up freezing the scripts before the system freezes up. As far as a server goes, FreeBSD seems to be VERY stable, as most questions on this list are focasing on home or at least user-at-console use. Bravo FreeBSD!

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I had a copy (running) of FreeBSD v. 2.2.6 but had to rm it due to /usr going to 108%. I went to http://www.freebsd.org and got the boot.flp from the installation part of the web page. I have tried to set the method of installation as ftp. When prompted to go to ALT+F3 to connect to my ISP, I do connect but can't get it to go to PPP. I have used /etc/ppp before with the same ISP. This in not a dialing problem as I have stated, I do connect. When I do connect, I get ppp>packet mode but it will not change to PPP. Upon connection, I have noticed the modem send and receive lights going on and off extremely fast. If someone has had similar problems, could you please tell me the workaround you found to get this to connect properly. Thank you in advance for any help which you may be able to offer.

Clients can only connect via Samba when our PPP connection to the Internet is up. If the PPP connection is not up when the clients attempt to connect to the server the attempt will simply time out after a few minutes with the connection never being made. However, as soon as I bring up the PPP connection, clients can connect almost instantly without problems. This was annoying, but we knew how to work around it so it hasn't been much of a problem. However, now we're trying to allow Macintosh clients to connect to the server as well. The server will appear in the Chooser (under both AppleShare for file sharing and LaserWriter 8 for it's printer), but when the clients attempt to connect once again the connection times out and nothing is done. However, this time, the problem cannot be solved by bringing up the PPP connection. At boot time the server "freezes" at the netatalk initialization stage, and eventually times out. (After about 30 seconds.)

I've just completed making a boot disk/cdrom or tape combination to make cookie cutter systems on some IBM Z Pros. If the disks are the same, you can get the configuration of the first one in fdisk and make an fdisk.conf file to input to the new disk. Read the fdisk man page, it's quite simple. I have IBM 4.2 gig SCSI disks. The fdisk looks like: $ fdisk sd0 ******* Working on device /dev/rsd0 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=548 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=548 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 63, size 4192902 (2047 Meg), flag 80 beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1; end: cyl 260/ sector 63/ head 254 The data for partition 2 is: The data for partition 3 is: The data for partition 4 is: Which I put into fdisk.conf: g c548 h255 s63 p 1 165 63 4192902 a 1 The first line is the geometry. The second line is the first partition and the third line sets the first partition active. Simple. Then run: fdisk -i -f fdisk.conf /dev/rsd0 Then do the same sort of thing on disklabel, newfs, fsck and off you go. I created a mini kernel (and compressed using kzip), then built a boot floppy with the kernel and all the programs needed (it's a squeeze): ifconfig, newfs, fdisk, disklabel, fsck, mount, restore, init, mount_cd9660, sh, sync. Then add the minimally needed support files: fstab, fdisk.conf, disklabel.conf, /usr/mdec/boot[12], MAKEDEV, devices, master.passwd (and run pwd_mkdb), services (just the shell line), boot.config and /etc/rc. Creating the rc that did the install turned out to be the hard part. And mine is extremely simple minded, and needs to be expanded to handle other media. I do remote tape and local CD-ROM. A local/remote disk or local tape would be trival. I did run into one other problem. After rdumping my FS's to a solaris tape host, I wanted to dump the dump files to disk so I could burn them on my CD-Rom burner (in Win NT, grrr). But Solaris dd couldn't read the file off the tape? Anybody got ideas why? And I still want to get my Philips CDR400t going on FreeBSD. Oh, I guess I rambled a little to much. If anybody is interested in the scripts, I'd be glad to pass them on or post. Paul. -- When people run around and around in circles, we say they are crazy.

SunOS and Solaris are unix-like. :-) No FreeBSD does not work on these systems. There are Alpha and UltraSparc ports, and some interest from Apple. But predominately, FreeBSD is Intel based. There is a Linux port and NetBSD and OpenBSD. Probably some others, too. -- aibohphobia -- the fear of palindromes To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 9 06:53:37 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id GAA28308 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 06:53:37 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from mail.eclipse.net (chrismar@mail.eclipse.net [207.207.192.13]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id GAA28301 for ; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 06:53:33 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from chrismar@mail.eclipse.net) Received: (from chrismar@localhost) by mail.eclipse.net (8.8.6/8.8.6) id JAA09487; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 09:53:27 -0400 (EDT) Date: Thu, 9 Apr 1998 09:53:27 -0400 (EDT) From: Chris Martino To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Installation Problems Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG To Whom it May Concern: Yesterday a friend and I tried installing FreeBSD 2.2.5 from CD, and to say the least we ran into some problems. I'm hoping someone can help. I've read through the FAQ and it didn't seem to help any. Heres what happened: Stuck the #1 CD in the drive which happens to be F:\ and read the README.TXT and printed out the INSTALL.TXT We looked to see how much free space he had left, and Win95 reported that he had 630 megs free on C:. So, in the installation guide it said to use the FIPS utility to prepare a DOS partition. We did that, and it said the maximum size we could use was 354, I don't know why it was 354, and win95 reported 630 free. Anyways, we went a head and ran it, and then we ended up with a 354 mb dos, or so we assume. Anyways, when we rebooted and windows came back up there was a happy little D:\ drive. After than we exited to DOS and ran the view program. And then we chose to run teh install.bat so we could begin the install. It failed to boot, I don't remember the exact error, but it had something to do with permissions. Re rebooted again into windows and then formated the new D:\ tp be useable by windows and then ran the install.bat again. Same thing. So, we rebooted again and BAM!! got this little thing that says "Welcome to FreeBSD 2.2.5 -Currnet. We thought we were set. So, we entered the novice installation and the little FDISK thing came up, we saw a partition that was being unused, and we assumed that that was the one we wanted, so we selected it and decided to use it all. No insted of saying unused it said "freebsd" so we figured okay...got that part done. We continued on with the installation by selecting the stuff we wanted to install. Picked what we wanted and then pressed okay.. Now the prblems starting happening. It said something like "WARNING: / was not found" and it did the same for /usr , and /var. So we said uh oh, and then he ctrl-alt-deleted to restart again. Now when it boots it says: F1 .... BSD Choose F? Or something to that effect. So, we tried the F1, and it got something like error, kernel not found....and then hangs at boot: which is what i figurted considering we never really installed anything. So, then we decided to reboot again with his restore cd in the drive, okay phew something finally came up, so ewe exited to DOS and then went to C: and noticed everything was gone. We completly erased everything. Now, my question to you is, from what I tell you does it seem like we did anything wrong? I don't know what happened so I hoping you can tell me some ideas to try. As far as I know he is doing a restore of Win95 tonight and tomorrow we are gonna start totally from scratch.

I open a socket: sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0); and GET, OR and SET the IFF_DEBUG and IFF_PROMISC bits with ioctl(sock, SIOCGIFFLAGS, (char*)&ifr); ... ioctl(sock, SIOCSIFFLAGS, (char*)&ifr); this seems to work because: ifconfig fxp0 shows the DEBUG and PROMISC flags on. However, I don't get a stream of packets in the loop that read()'s packets. That uses another socket, previously opened as: s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_IP); (On another system (AIX) I use AF_INTF for the read() socket, FreeBSD doesn't seem to have this.)

You did a lot of things wrong. If Win95 said there was 640 meg free, and fips only came up with 384 meg, then you probably should have defragmented the drive first, that would have cleared more. Next, fips made this D: drive for you. That's the partition you wanted to get rid of in fdisk and install FreeBSD into. Sounds like you may have hit 'a' in fdisk to use the entire disk. I'm not sure how you did that without first deleting the DOS partition. Maybe fips failed, but it doesn't sound like it since you rebooted a couple of times. I've never used the install.bat. I've always made a boot floppy, so I can't say what the problem was with the booting problems. The "F1... BSD" prompt was boot easy, telling you you had only one partition on the disk, but when Ok, tonight, make a boot floppy. Boot from it, run novice. Create FreeBSD partition. In disklabel, choose 'a' for Auto defaults for all. This may not be what you ultimately want, but it gets you started learning Unix. Then choose what you want installed. -- "Five left and cut or I waste everyone in first class." --Lonhyn T.

Oh, we did defragment last night before re ran anything, and we till ended up with 354 meg D partition. Ok, so once we make the D drive delete it using the FDISK on the DOS side or the one you use once you begin the installation? And the 1st thing we do with that drive it delete it, so it can be used for FreeBSD... Okay that make sense now. The rest I can follow I think. I just am wondering which fdisk you are talking about. Anyways, I'll let you know how it turns out! Thanks alot!!

Doesn't even need a HD, it'll fit on a floppy boot disk. All you have to have in it is the modem & network card, and if you set the bios, don't even need video or a keyboard. It isn't as configurable as natd, though. You're right, I'd never pay for Wingate for my personal use, and I'd NEVER buy MS PROXY!! Pricing is kind of funny: for what you'd pay for a "good" mail server program under windows, you can buy another PC, put FreeBSD on it & run Sendmail & QPopper, and still be better off. Wacky.

This drive claims to be able to write 10Gb to a 112m tape in compressed mode, but I'm getting just the 5Gb I'd expect uncompressed. There are no switches other than the SCSI id on the box. The manual tells me to enable compression in software. ``mt -f /dev/rst1 comp 1'' logs the error "select returned an error of 5" to the console and gives me an I/O error from mt(1). How do I permanently enable compression?

After about 4 months without any problems - performance wise, all of a sudden the box is very slow to react. A reinstall of the os and web server did not help nor did running a separate box with the 2.2.5 and 2.2.6 release. Same effect. Reaction to an initial telnet session is very slow but once in, reactions are immediate. The same with the web server. If we go to the web site, it is slow to respond, then once it is in, reacts very quickly but then sputters out again after a bit and is very slow somtimes as long as 1 minute to respond. Now at first we thought maybe somthing on the box may have blown up... But after reinstalls, replicating on other machines, replacement of nic card etc. It has continued to operate the same.. slow. I have come to the conclusion it is somthing on our internal network but havnt a clue where else to look... We have tried different gateways, different nic cards, differnet ip addresses, different network segments... etc.. all to no avail.. the only thing that does work is when I put it on a different network or outside the firewall. The next thing we did was enable a box and locate it outside the firewall. Now if we go to this box from inside the network, it responds fine - very fast and responds almost immediately. Does anyone have any clues as to where else we can look or what else we may try. We are not getting any complaints from anyone who is surfing the net, accessing the AS400 or any of the file servers. So it appears to be somthing between the network and my FreeBSD box. Any help would be appreciated on what we may want to try.

I had (mistakenly) been under the impression that "nosetuid" merely meant "no setuid" (vs. "no setgid"). However, in _The Design and Implementation of the 4.4BSD Operating System_ (McKusick, et al.), on p. 223, the description of that flag reads: nosuid Do not honor the set-user-id or set-group-id flags for any executables on the filesystem. This option is useful when a filesystem of unknown origin is mounted. Thus, I see that I misunderstood the specification; I'm passing the information along just in case I wasn't the only one to have missed the point. david -- David Wolfskill dhw@whistle.com (650) 577-7158 pager: (650) 401-0168 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 9 09:53:49 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id JAA07825 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 09:53:49 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from astro.astrocorp.com ([206.147.28.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id JAA07802 for ; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 09:53:37 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from grogers@astrocorp.com) Received: from glenn.astrocorp.com (glenn.astrocorp.com [206.147.28.31]) by astro.astrocorp.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id LAA17129 for ; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 11:49:28 -0500 Message-Id: <2.2.32.19980409165246.006772b4@astrocorp.com> X-Sender: grogers@astrocorp.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.2 (32) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Thu, 09 Apr 1998 11:52:46 -0500 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: Glenn Rogers Subject: PPP memory leak & port numbers Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG We have a protocol stack embedded into our product which is based on BSD 4.2. We also have FreeBSD release 2.2.5 on CD ROM. Here is the story. 1) The CISCO 2509 router/terminal server does not initiate the LCP negotiation to bring up the PPP link. If the PPP link is up and running and the CISCO is power cycled, IP traffic stops. We think PPP is up and CISCO thinks the link is down. The response I got from CISCO tech support was to monitor the DTR line and restart the link if the line drops. Because we didn't wire that DTR line in, we can't detect the event. 2) To fix the problem, I have added a watch dog timer to periodically send LCP echo requests to determine if the device is alive. If the echo responses are not returned, I am calling lcp_close() and restarting the link. 3) If the PPP link goes down and then up again enough times, eventually a call to allocate memory to open a socket fails. This leak is somehow related to the info displayed by the 'netstat' command. After the PPP link is up, netstat displays the following. Active Internet connections (including servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state) tcp 0 0 *.23 *.* LISTEN udp 0 0 *.* *.* udp 0 0 *.161 *.* When the link goes down (lcp_close() was called), one more entry is displayed when the 'netstat' command is issued as follows. Active Internet connections (including servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state) tcp 0 0 *.23 *.* LISTEN udp 0 0 *.* *.* udp 0 0 *.* *.* udp 0 0 *.161 *.* When the link comes back up one more entry is displayed when the 'netstat' command is issued as follows. Active Internet connections (including servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state) tcp 0 0 *.23 *.* LISTEN udp 0 0 *.* *.* udp 0 0 *.* *.* udp 0 0 *.* *.* udp 0 0 *.161 *.* This is displaying a 'Local Address' of *.*. The code that prints this info is displaying * for the port number when the port value passed to inetprint() is zero. (inetprint() is in the file inet.c) My question is... There are places in the code where port values of zero are accepted. Why does the code allow port values of zero when RFC1700 and much older RFC739 has allways defined port number zero as 'Reserved' ???

It seems that this is not available to the general public. While moving around the area, I located your site which seems to be associated with the ftp site listed above. Do you know of any such software, and if so how I could go about acquiring it.

Is this because it began at a cylinder > 512? (On the other hand, OS/2 Bootmanager doesn't have a problem). So I tried to put it on another slice on /dev/hdb (/dev/hdb3). The install went OK (it would help enormously to give some indication of the sizes when you install a system, instead of crunching for an hour before running out of space). I can boot either /dev/hdb1 or /dev/hdb3 in system commander, but the system where is installed is always /dev/hdb1 (2.2). I don't see support in there for multiple slices (did I miss something?) It seems like if disk.c:devopen() got a parameter indicating the disk slice, it would only look there (can it identify its disk slice its running from?) The alternative is to write a cheezy program which munges the disk label magic number on the partition I don't want to boot... marty leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com Don't confuse education with schooling.

I went to re-compile my kernel (with some new options) and I am missing the *.c files from the nfs directory. Is there a simple way just to get the source I am missing? I am unable to find it on the FTP server, but I may not be looking in the correct place. It is not on my CD in the live file system. And the source code section of the web page dissects the programs into symbols. I am sure I am probably just being myopic. Could someone please give me a hand here? I am missing some other files, but at this point it looks easier to just hunt donw the missing peices than to re-install the OS on my main server and try to rebuild all the new stuff I have done.

Also, I heard that there are tools available originaly for Linux that have been ported to FreeBSD, but a search of neither the FreeBSD archives nor the Linux archives turned up anything here.

As an industry and trend watcher, I have a compelling sense that the next few months will represent an "inflection point" -- that is, a period during which a major change in attitude and direction will be felt in the computer industry. Freely redistributable operating systems will suddenly acquire serious credibility and will no longer be able to be ignored by the mainstream media nor by developers. However, as the rise of Microsoft has shown, most users will fail to investigate alternatives and will adopt only those products with the largest installed base and the most press coverage. Thus, FreeBSD stands to suffer as much as to gain from the paradigm shift. If there is not an exceedingly strong effort to promote FreeBSD as superior to Linux, Linux -- which has a larger installed base -- will be catapulted to a dominant position while FreeBSD will see no noticeable increase in its user base or its popularity. FreeBSD needs to have a few "zealots" and "evangelists" -- just as Linux does -- to stubbornly insist that FreeBSD be included in every forum where Linux is discussed. It also needs some calmer proponents to take up the slack. Perhaps a new slot on the core team -- "Chief Evangelist" -- is in order. --Brett Glass To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 9 14:45:21 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id OAA19727 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 14:45:21 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from ha1.rdc1.sdca.home.com (siteadm@ha1.rdc1.sdca.home.com [24.0.3.66]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id OAA19584 for ; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 14:45:08 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from vilorman@home.com) Received: from meister ([24.0.186.99]) by ha1.rdc1.sdca.home.com (Netscape Mail Server v2.02) with SMTP id AAA16081 for ; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 14:45:02 -0700 Message-ID: <000701bd6400$b5c4c0b0$0464a8c0@meister.escnd1.sdca.home.com> From: "Brian D.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG My apologies for troubling you all yet again. After over a day spent hitting my head against this one, I have to ask "has anyone else had troubles installing cyrus on fbsd" ? I've installed the port for cyrus 1.5.2 and tested it by telneting to the imap port as well as with imtest. These tests passed successfully. imapd seems to be working fine and configuration was done as per the cyrus distribution manuals. I can log in with the admin tool (cyradm) perfectly but when I try to create the mailboxes, I get the following error : "command failed: Permission denied" which I figure must be due to file/directory permissions. [ cyradm session ] # /usr/local/bin/cyradm xxxx.com.my xxxx.com.my userid: cyrus xxxx.com.my password: xxxx.com.my> cm user.chas command failed: Permission denied However, the configuration seems to be as per the book : [ # more /etc/imapd.conf ] configdirectory: /var/imap partition-default: /var/spool/imap admins: cyrus chas root srvtab: /var/imap/srvtab [ # ls -al /var/imap ] drwxr-x--- 7 cyrus cyrus 512 Apr 10 02:56 . drwxr-xr-x 21 root wheel 512 Apr 9 11:30 .. -rw------- 1 cyrus cyrus 0 Apr 10 02:56 delivered.db drwxr-xr-x 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Apr 8 14:36 log -rw-r--r-- 1 cyrus cyrus 0 Apr 8 14:36 mailboxes drwxr-xr-x 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Apr 8 14:36 msg drwxr-xr-x 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Apr 9 14:24 proc drwxr-xr-x 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Apr 8 14:36 quota drwxr-xr-x 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Apr 8 14:36 user [ # ls -al /var/spool ] # ls -al /var/spool/ drwxr-xr-x 9 bin bin 512 Apr 8 14:37 . drwxr-xr-x 21 root wheel 512 Apr 9 11:30 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Apr 8 14:37 imap drwxrwxr-x 2 uucp dialer 512 Apr 10 04:57 lock drwxr-xr-x 2 bin daemon 512 Oct 21 22:13 lpd drwxr-xr-x 2 root daemon 512 Apr 10 04:42 mqueue drwxr-xr-x 3 bin daemon 512 Feb 9 12:42 output drwxrwxr-x 7 uucp uucp 512 Feb 9 12:42 uucp drwxrwxrwx 2 uucp uucp 512 Oct 21 22:13 uucppublic The user cyrus does belong to the cyrus group. The only thing that I can think of is perhaps due to tcl. Since I don't have X installed, Tcl/Tk have always been troublesome to install (I always need to use the tcl packages as opposed to the ports) and the cyrus port installation gave one warning message : "/usr/ports/lang/tcl81 non-existant -- @pkgdep registration incomplete." Nevertheless it succeeded in creating the cyradm tool (which is all the tcl libraries were required for) and cyradm seems to work. If anyone has any ideas, I would be most grateful, Thank you very much, chas I've searched the archives on FBSD/dejanews/linux/imap.org and 4 different FAQs, as well as read the manual (repeatedly) but still no joy - this must be something quite obvious I am missing because everybody else seems to have no problems installing cyrus.

FreeBSD needs to have a few "zealots" and > "evangelists" -- just as Linux does -- to stubbornly insist that Being one that came from slackware, then later redhat, I supposed I should provide some kind of input. There was no real reason for me to try FreeBSD. It had no "claim to fame" so to speak. Linux does have a kind of claim to fame. Basically, linux has been promoted as "free unix". They have a presence at trade shows. It's been promoted as the OS via grass roots. A way of learning unix without having to spend money. Slackware at the time was the linux with lots of capabilities. Someone from the dos world could get into it fairly easily. My switch to redhat came about when I discovered that RPMs made upgrades easy, as well as adding new packages made life easy. You wanted something? simple, didn't have to know anything, just add the rpm. Everything was put in its proper place, never a worry about what went where. Of course everything started to blow up with the last release of redhat -- I think it was ver 5.0 My switch to FreeBSD ONLY came about b/c a colleage suggested it. Even when he suggested it, it meant nothing to me. I did a little homework, and there was one thing that convinced me to try it. That was when I received a newsletter with testimonials from cdrom.com and yahoo.com that showed them running their sites using FreeBSD. It showed how they tried lots of unix variants, and decided that this platform was easy and stable to work on. It convinced me to TRY it. Once I got it, a few things I noticed. Linux support is awesome in many ways. If you have a question, simply go to the irc. There's tons of people always there, always helpful. That's one major difference. There's very little presence on the FreeBSD side (on the irc). Newsgroup support via linux is also pretty good. FreeBSD doesn't seem to have much there. That means, that FreeBSD doesn't have 2 very visible means of showing the world who they are. It's not a criticism, just an observation. Doug and the others have been very helpful, please don't misunderstand me. It's made the difference in my getting comfortable. I'd suggest however, a few things. 1- make the FAQ and HANDBOOK more easily accessible from the front page. It probably should probably be put nearer to the top of the page rather than the bottom of the page. 2- the FAQ and HANDBOOK look very similar in terms of the table of contents. Perhaps having it seem very different may be a thought. Merge on one side or the other topics that are similar. Perhaps change the focus a little so that it's easy on the user to figure out which side is what they want. 3- "search" isn't so obvious to the new user. Perhaps it may be helpful to put it with "documentation". Esp if people are trying to figure out what's what. Search usually on most sites are to find topic interests. Search on FreeBSD is more useful in finding documentation on "how do I" stuff. 4- put something in the initial page that gives the message "want to know something about freebsd, look no further." b/c most pages on the net aren't information intended, but rather sales intended, people may not know that it is the difinitive source of info. Most pages are more related to "wanna buy it?". 5- make it more apparent the freebsd-questions is where they want to be. It's not really clear that it's the best place to be, b/c most mailing lists have the "general questions" place to be total newbies without much meat. It's not the case here. I think the problem is the culture out there. It's not the same as what tone FreeBSD is trying to set. 6- Linux is starting to be written in lots of books. There's no link to FreeBSD. No logical step for someone. If they have DOS, then it's logical to get win31. if win31, then win95. If linux, then redhat. perhaps if redhat, then FreeBSD . Greg Lehey's book is a good start. It references FreeBSD specifically. There needs to be more to get popular. O'Reilly would be a good place to try to drum up support, perhaps. 7- Perhaps links to lots of pages on various topics might be good. I'll end my thoughts here. don't want to waste too much bandwidth. ken To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 9 15:43:41 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id PAA27692 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 15:43:41 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from enigami.com (enigami.com [208.140.182.10]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id PAA27600 for ; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 15:43:32 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ckempf@enigami.com) Received: from [208.140.182.45] (symphony.enigami.com [208.140.182.45]) by enigami.com (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id SAA28123 for ; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 18:42:55 -0400 (EDT) X-Sender: ckempfm@enigami.com Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Thu, 9 Apr 1998 18:23:26 -0400 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: Cory Kempf Subject: Sound on DK440LX?

I agree that most of use are older -- and it appears that most of use deal with real clients in the real world. The cost of an OS is the scheme of the commercial world is not a deciding factor. Support and reliability is a major factor. The reliability is as good or better than many commercial Unices, support is generally better from the standpoint of joe admin, since fixes and notices are available weeks and sometimes months before commercial Unices. The only two critical pieces missing are commercial recognition and visible support. Many of us in the field are already delivering support and we will continue. Visibility, though is another matter. I remember the first issue of the FreeBSD Newsletter and thought it was good. Parts of that could have been rolled into news releases, especially the Yahoo article on page one -- but I didn't see anything show up in the trade rags. And, that's where I think we can make some headway. Most corporate decision makers read the rags -- including Forbes. The rags are constantly whining about NT -- so NT gets the recognition. All the rags get are NT releases. What I suggest is this: First -- Jordan -- since you're the main man in this, put the pencil to the paper and figure out what it would cost to mount a program of professional news releases -- including customer profiles. Look at the number of CD-ROMS sold and divide cost by CDs and add to CD cost. Look at the newsletter and consider subscription. Most of us can afford some extra bucks and would be happy to spend it for the credibility. Think in terms of two to three times per month for the news releases. Second: poll the rest of us for contributions. Many of us are using FreeBSD in production environments. (Yeah, I'll volunteer -- even though I can't write worth a plug nickle.) With Yahoo and cdrom.com, all the ISPs out there and those of us in the commercial world, there _have_ to be some interesting stories. Third: for all of us who never bothered to register (which includes me) lets do it, so there is a reasonably accurate account of installed systems. Statistics don't mean much in the real world, but it's what made NT "great" and will help with the first point. The credibility will do us all a great deal of good. If we want the promotion and credibility though, we have to belly up to the bar and be willing to pay as well as contribute. If we're not willing to do that, we shouldn't be arguing the issue. -- Jay To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 9 17:03:47 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id RAA05856 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 17:03:47 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from gatekeep.ti.com (gatekeep.ti.com [192.94.94.61]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id RAA05825 for ; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 17:03:32 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from vagner@spdc.ti.com) Received: from tilde.csc.ti.com ([157.170.1.149]) by gatekeep.ti.com (8.8.8) with ESMTP id TAA19111; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 19:03:00 -0500 (CDT) Received: from spdc.ti.com (ox.spdc.ti.com [192.226.26.51]) by tilde.csc.ti.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id TAA12633; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 19:03:00 -0500 (CDT) Received: from epcot.spdc.ti.com (epcot [192.226.26.53]) by spdc.ti.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id TAA09969; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 19:02:57 -0500 (CDT) Received: from vagnernt (dhcp22-158.spdc.ti.com [192.226.22.158]) by epcot.spdc.ti.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id TAA02930; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 19:02:57 -0500 (CDT) Date: Thu, 9 Apr 1998 19:02:57 -0500 (CDT) Message-Id: <199804100002.TAA02930@epcot.spdc.ti.com> X-Sender: vagner@epcot.spdc.ti.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.1.2 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: Jonathan Fosburgh From: George Vagner Subject: Re: Intel EtherExpress ..

Perhaps it *IS* time to go on the PR offensive here ("Why Linux doesn't work") since playing nice guys hasn't appeared to have won us anything but lots of nice comments from folks like Marc A. at netscape to the effect that "Linux is the only free OS alternative." I'm getting tired of that, and if it's going to take "breaking ranks" with the rest of the free OS community to get our own message out, maybe it's time.

I see a ready market for free "low cost" software in college bookstores, particularly those universities that have computer engineering and comsci departments. Part of evangelism is marketing and market presence. Having this OS on display at universities will attract a young audience the very people that are evangelizing Linux.

Put the mouse cursor at one end of the block you want to copy. 2. Press the left button, keep it held down and move to the other end of the block. 3. Release the button. 4. Move to the Netscrape window. 5. If you have explicit focus, press a mouse button to select the window. 6. Move the mouse cursor to where you want to insert. 7. Press the middle button. 8. Check that the text looks correct. It could be a real mess. If it is, tidying it up is non-trivial. You would be better off with a real mailer.

Well, you should be able to get back up and running by typing kernel.old or kernel.GENERIC at the boot prompt. then, you evidentally changed something in the kernel config that caused a problem... start again with the GENERNIC config file and make a new kernel. I suppose you could either use trial-and-error to figure out what that was, or else post any items you think might be likely to have been problematic.

Send them to -current instead (to which I hope you are subscribed). I'm copying -questions on this reply only to show where I've sent the thread. I think there's a general problem with tape compression under -CURRENT. A few months back, I used to be able to back up a complete 8 GB on my DDS-2 drives, but now I've done some testing and found it gives up somewhere round 3.4 GB. I don't understand that, since the native tape capacity is 4 GB. -CURRENT people: I'm using the old SCSI driver. The tape is set to start up in compressed mode, and the DC LED is illuminated all the time. This looks to me as if something in the driver is explicitly disabling compression, or just possibly that the driver is guessing the size of the tape and stopping (with EIO) when it reaches this point. The other point is that it's still returning EIO. I know there's been some discussion about this before, and ISTR that it was inconclusive ("that's the way our grandfathers did it"). While looking at the problem, I came across a program I wrote in my BSD/OS days back in 1992, and I note that even then BSD/OS returned ENOSPC when it got to the end of the tape. This makes a whole lot more sense, and it obviously seems to have withstood the test of time. How about it? Would I get an improvement on either of these points if I installed CAM? I know that CAM can't handle compression switching yet, but can it do compression if it's enabled on the drive?

Tim knows about Jordan, despite his message. We've repeatedly tried to get them interested in BSD, but there's something at ORA that resists. I suspect it's not Tim (who lives in California), but somebody on the East Coast. I've just about given up with ORA. They seem to be relinquishing their position as the favourite UNIX publisher and chasing the NT crowd. I'm surprised they even had this "summit".

The cost of an OS is the scheme of the commercial world is > not a deciding factor. Support and reliability is a major factor. You hit on a key fact here and that is support. Please don't take what I am going to say as a criticism. Because FreeBSD users are older and thus more experienced I think it is often taken for granted that every user is at the same level of expertise, which is simply not the case. Further there is an attitude and in some ways correctly so that RTFM is the order of the day. There is a lot of truth to the addage that give a man a fish and you will have to feed hin forever, but teach him to fish and he will be able to feed himself. However, I have noticed some seemingly stupid guestions that go unanswered or ignored completely. I have asked several of these myself even after RTFM.... and just didn't get it so to speak. I am guilty of the terse answer RTFM mind set, and I had a lady administer a public flogging to me on this mailing list this past week because of it. It is understandable that the population of the newsgroup and mailing lists are busy, but to reach the newbe and a larger user community more patience with the user whose UNIX knowledge is at the orangutan level will be required. I have worked in the computer user industry for many years, and the one thing that I realized early on is the UNIX scares the hell out of most people. It has a reputation for be criptic, etc. What I would propose would be some volunteers to take these questions and patiently answer them to maintain user retention, and don't let them slip off to Linux becuse of the mis-apprehension that it is better supported. And that belief is out there partialy because of the volumes of books on the shelves devoted to Linux, most of which are nothing more than a statement of environmental waste in all the trees destroyed to provide the paper for them. Overall I believe that the support offered for FreeBSD is of a higher quality that that of the Linux newsgroups. There is a lot of bulljive passed for expertise on their NGs. So we have a strong base to build upon. We have a pedagree UNIX -- oops -- with a rich heritage not a clone. Some marketing and market presence will get the word out. No reason for FreeBSD to take the back seat to any OS. We have a great story to tell. ----------------snip > > What I suggest is this: > > First -- Jordan -- since you're the main man in this, put the pencil > to the paper and figure out what it would cost to mount a program of > professional news releases -- including customer profiles.

No. ft is what you're looking for, but before you use it, you'll have to fix it. The concept of floppy tape is so flimsy that it's hardly worth running. I'd strongly advise you to get a better tape drive.

Larry McVoy and Eric Raymond are examples of people who distribute their own software under GPL, and have a vested interest in promoting GPL over other licensing terms (though if you go look at http://www.opensource.org for the Open Source Software page, you will see that they state that the BSD license meets the necessary criteria for labelling). One real problem is that there are axes, other than the Open Source Software axe, that are being ground. Eric attributes much favor to the GPL in his "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" paper (written about his "fetchmail" program), and Larry disdains the BSD license for historical reasons (Larry was chief scientist at Sun when they killed SunOS off in favor of Solaris, and wouldn't let the SunOS code out). The division in Linux implementations is very real. I have been hand-holding someone through getting LDAP up on a Linux box, and other than the obvious configuration problems (mostly brought on by GDBM not working like the Berkeley LDBM), there are a number of problems that a purely distribution-centric. Specifically, the RedHat Linux 5.0 distribution implements sys_errlist[] more like BSD, and that makes it impossible to make an LDAP server that will compile both on RedHat 5.0 *and* other Linux implementations at the same time (some need the manifest platform falg SYSERRLIST_IN_STDIO and some *must not* have it). *BSD has a fragmented image problem because there isn't one kernel; but having one kernel hasn't saved Linux from fragmentation problems, like the one listed above (which is one of a class, not just a signle instance that isn't repeated).

I have to admit that I was a bit ticked off by one press release that stated "Linux is the freely available UNIX implementation", using "the" instead of "a". The was SunWorld Online (I believe) quoting Netscape higher-ups over the Mozilla release. I don't think that "attack ads" will do much but alienate people, but on the other hand, I would definitely like to avoid BSD ending up a second-class invisible. Netscape making Linux a reference platform, but not BSD, is rather much to take with grace and no visible indignation. What is the status on the CVS/CVSup Mozilla source repository that was being considered? That would certainly raise visibility in a positive way, even if the involvement was only in providing the technology to Netscape. You could still press-release it... If nothing else, BSD *needs* to have a Mozilla repository, if BSD is *not* a reference platform. Certainly "FreeBSD Mirrors Mozilla Sources Internationally" would be a good headline for a press release as well...

From what you say, the time appears to have come. There are enough of them to eat us alive it we sit on our buts and just observe. A kick ass attitude can be a very good thing if things are indeed as you say they are. I am no politician, but that appears to be what is going on here.

Yes that could be the case. It is hard to justify a personal visit with a relatively low cost product such as we are talking about here. The other issue is how to college bookstores view their shelf space. Normal stores run on profit dollars per square foot of shelf space, with the low and slow movers getting the boot. I wouldn't think that college bookstore are manage quite this tightly but could be wrong. Telemarketing or product on consignment maybe that way to get started. Another idea that I've had is that those of use that are going to college make a call on the bookstore manager and try to sell them on FreeBSD. There could be legal issues here with WC CDROM because someone acting as a sales person is an agent of the organization. CompSci and Computer Engineering Deptartment heads etc., maybe prime prospects for a freeby copy to seed that effort. Like any marketing effort this would have to be planed out a bit to get desired results.

You'd think we were rappers; I've never understood it. Tim has allegedly resisted proposals for FreeBSD books; the only two FreeBSD users I *know* of at O'Reilly are on the east coast. Most of the directional decisions happen on the west coast; the Cambridge office is almost exclusively production staff, though there are some marketing people and editors. > I've just about given up with ORA. They seem to be relinquishing > their position as the favourite UNIX publisher and chasing the NT > crowd. I'm surprised they even had this "summit". I disagree with that. My current project is the _UNIX Power Library_, a CD of the six most popular UNIX books (Power Tools, vi, ksh, sed & awk, UNIX Nut, and Learning UNIX) along with the Power Tools software. I'd say the current focus is more on Web stuff like Perl, Java, HTML, JavaScript, and XML. The focus of the Windows stuff is one I don't mind, and my home is Microsoft-free. I like the thurst of the "Annoyances" series. The main problem is that Tim doesn't see that there's a market for FreeBSD books, and he *is* in business to make money. The reason he's big on free software, and sponsored the summit, is that he realizes that there *is* money there, as demonstrated by our wildly popular Perl books. He hired Larry basically to give him an umbrella to keep Perl going, and to help come up with commercial tie-ins to the free core software. The main thing that FreeBSDers can do to change his perception is to demonstrate that there *is* a market. If you own O'Reilly books and would like to see FreeBSD books, *tell us*.

The Linux community uses add slicks and authorized re-sellers and wholsalers tp promate their product. Take a look at www.caldera.com or www.suse.com There are also numerous links to software that runs on Linux which make the numbers of user look large and indeed they have a large user base. It would be interesting to see some estimate of the FreeBSD user base with some seperation of usage on servers vs desktops. This could be a ket ingredient in getting more commercial userland stuff ported to FreeBSD.

Oh well. Perhaps it *IS* time to go on Thats why I thought our own mozilla tree would be best, since they have never had any priority for releasing a BSD version of netscape until yahoo, and im willing to bet, screamed bloody murder to get them to make a port. I could be wrong but thats what I think happened. > the PR offensive here ("Why Linux doesn't work") since playing nice I think we SERIOUSLY need a PR plan of some kind. I think also we can take the gloves off and start kicking heads without getting nasty about it. We have several FACTUAL resources that they just CANT compete with. One being our ability to server better than ANY OS out there. We have proven this with yahoo and wcarchive and probably a few other places. They do not have such visable factual references to point at. Our stack is better. That is not a holy war comment thats just being based verifable facts. They can't argue with yahoo or wcarchive. The best they can do, and i'm referring to any OS vendor, is point at similar flagship places. Linux may have dejanews but there are no printed numbers that im aware of for them, or the like. So I mean you can get to the nitty gritty about performance with facts and just kill the banter of which stack might be better. I know this has been done to death on IRC and other low key places. But not in articles, not in highly visable places. > guys hasn't appeared to have won us anything but lots of nice comments > from folks like Marc A. at netscape to the effect that "Linux is the > only free OS alternative." I'm getting tired of that, and if it's > going to take "breaking ranks" with the rest of the free OS community > to get our own message out, maybe it's time. I second this! But the problemhere is that we have zero PR. I am not making light of jordans efforts at all. His trips, his talks, his free CD handouts to promote FreeBSD. But the fact is we dont have any PR that is making any difference to anyone but geeks. ORA flat out annoys me by pretty much refusing to do a FreeBSD book. The only publisher I can respect now would be addison wessley since they have seemed interested in publishing gregs book. I dont know what happened on that front. But im straying from my rant. We need PR. Can we get the PR we need? I'm not so sure. The simple fact since for as long as I can remember has been money. money to do drivers, moeny to hire coders, moeny for PR. But the simple fact is FreeBSD Inc, isnt seeing jack &@#$, money wise. As far as I can tell. They get minor donations from people im aware of that, and I thank those people. But it's pretty obvious big companies that are using FreeBSD are not very keen on donating the money we need to advertise in magazines, journals, etc.. I could be wrong but I just dont see it. The entire PR for FreeBSD is non-existant. Other than the IRC banter, the job jordan does ot promote it etc.. But were not putting ad's out all over, were not saturating certain places with info. And im not taking anyone to task. I know everyone involved in -core and commiters works very damn hard alot of the time to make FreeBSD what it is today. But how do we resolve these issues? How do we get funding for PR? Should PR take priority over SMP? Bascially we need a freaking game plan. It's a volunteer project, and thats good IMO, but we need an organized strong game plan for doing some serious PR now. We have lost out to many times. We took a hit a while back on the article comparing linux, bsdi, and freebsd cause we only recognized 64 megs of ram by default instead of 128. That hurt us. I'm just tired of loosing out to the satanic penguin all the time. They get precedence over us, they get more articles, people will publish THEIR books. Book wise were like the plaugue for some reason. I'm really teed off now. I think we do need to take the gloves off and start beating people over the head HARD with facts, and shoving FreeBSD down their throats. Jordan is right being nice gets us no where. nice guys finish last is the saying. and its becoming quite true. I think we need to form a game plan. We need to have alot of open dialogue of PR, marketing, strategy, etc.. We keep struggling and it does us no good. Were spinning wheels but going nowhere. Well maybe slooowly we are. But we need to get a game plan going and attack with teeth. But stick to facts. I think we just need a PR plan. We need to organize an assault :) Im done venting, im going back to my corner now, Chris -- "I am closed minded.

The reason for this is that FreeBSD wasn't created from scratch like Linux. Any book on 4.4BSD applies almost directly to FreeBSD, and there are a lot of papers on different parts of BSD Unix.

I was in the process of ditching the Amiga as a platform *and* the wretched evangelical user base. It may sound silly, but I chose BSD because the people tinkering with it seemed, on the whole, to be more mature than the Linux crowd. My decision to not take the NetBSD fork in the road was similarly inspired. -john To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 9 21:17:04 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id VAA26941 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 21:17:04 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from tok.qiv.com (d2rDGVSllxU/4c9Fn0SCaAdWiYNtUOPl@tok.qiv.com [205.238.142.68]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id VAA26894; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 21:16:53 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jdn@acp.qiv.com) Received: (from uucp@localhost) by tok.qiv.com (8.8.8/8.8.5) with UUCP id XAA14623; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 23:14:40 -0500 (CDT) Received: from localhost (jdn@localhost) by acp.qiv.com (8.8.8/8.8.5) with SMTP id XAA01481; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 23:04:57 -0500 (CDT) Date: Thu, 9 Apr 1998 23:04:57 -0500 (CDT) From: Jay Nelson To: Frank Pawlak cc: toor@dyson.iquest.net, brett@lariat.org, mike@smith.net.au, dshanes@personalogic.com, hackers@FreeBSD.ORG, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Re[2]: Fw: Your Article "Freeware: The Heart & Soul of the Internet" In-Reply-To: <199804100223.VAA23203@darkstar.connect.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Thu, 9 Apr 1998, Frank Pawlak wrote: >Jay Nelson wrote: >> On Thu, 9 Apr 1998, John S.

I can't really disagree -- but the recognition that counts comes from corporate -- not the user. Corporate doesn't read the Linux books and doesn't really care how cryptic and OS may be. I don't think Unix will ever make inroads on the desktop, largely because of the perceptions you mention until there is a clear corporate reason to do so. As far as the newbie goes, I don't have a good suggestion. A multiuser system is inherently more complex than a single user executive. It requires more of a user who wants to enjoy the benefits. Many don't want to invest the effort. >Overall I believe that the support offered for FreeBSD is of a higher >quality that that of the Linux newsgroups.

Good demographic studies are pretty hard to do when you don't know the extent of your population, and asking people to register isn't going to define it for you. I did one random sampling of mailing list subscribers (I defined my population as mailing list subscribers) and sent a small survey regarding the FreeBSD web site. The response rate was in the negihborhood of two to three percent. Completely useless. 60 to 70 percent is usually considered the bottom end of acceptable in survey research. I got much more data from a form on the website, but the validity of that data is highly questionable for lots of reasons outlined in any survey research methods textbook. BUT, a good demographic study of FreeBSD users would be extremely valuable to have...so all you statistics junkies, start thinking of a way to come up with a *representative* sample the user population. -john To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 9 21:30:19 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id VAA02023 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 21:30:19 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from server4.mpcbbs.com.br (server4.mpc.com.br [200.246.0.252]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id VAA01898 for ; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 21:30:02 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from capriotti@geocities.com) Received: from hot_nt (node39.mpc.com.br [200.246.0.39]) by server4.mpcbbs.com.br (8.8.6/8.8.6) with SMTP id BAA19630; Fri, 10 Apr 1998 01:29:37 -0300 (EST) Message-Id: <3.0.32.19980410130026.009d33a0@pop.mpc.com.br> X-Sender: capriotti@pop.mpc.com.br X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) Date: Fri, 10 Apr 1998 13:24:05 -0300 To: "Brian D.

I am attributing the typical individual zealot as being about as important as one of the nano-probes (to the larger collective -- and will be sacrificed if it is valuable to the collective), all together they have a significant effect. This is an assimilation process, where it is a war between the Linux world and the rest of software. It just seems that Microsoft is the big target, but don't be tricked into thinking that war is "freedom" vs. "domination." Linux and Microsoft are various forms of domination at war. Microsoft wants to have all your money, while the GPL movement wants to socialize inventiveness. The GPL is not Netscape's friend. Their upper mgmt doesn't appear to realize it. We need to continue growing the free software movement (and the associated freedom of individuals), and not be left out in the cold. The Linux thing is NOT a free software movement, but is an evangelistic pseudo-religion. It wouldn't suprise me that the same people who might be susceptible to a cult are the same people evangelizing whatever OS that they have adopted. No OS is immune to this, but Linux appears to have more than it's fair share.

Yesss!!! To all!!! I'm an olde fart ex-system flogger from way back. All of what everyone is saying is needed. It is marketing, marketing, marketing.... It does *not matter* how good your product is. You *will* be run over by a big marketing machine. But when it is real good, like FreeBSD, you do have something that treated right, could be a silver bullet. 1. Pedigree. When I got back to playing with computers & began looking about for something like vi to edit with under windows, I found Linux. "A unix like..." Then stumbled across FreeBSD, a joke? Well, reading further, I discovered emacs and a lot of other stuff I recognized. But, what pulled me in was the BSD pedigree, and that *alone*! I may get flamed for this but I cannot think of Linux as anything more than a cute little pc os. I don't run games. I *did* have to support customers whose livelyhood depended on their computers running every day - no exceptions. That meant a real OS with real depth. Any operating system whose kernel is controlled by one person, libraries provided by second, third, fourth parties or *whatever*, and applications from yet other sources, well that is a recipe for failure. I had to learn that lesson the hard way. Your operating system should be invisible, flawless, and d-e-p-e-n-d-a-b-l-e. This FreeBSD is a "lead pipe" cinch winner. I cannot say it has *ever* failed in almost two years of using it. I was one of the first AT&T value added resellers in Los Angeles. I cannot make the same claim of dependability about the SV based accounting systems we sold. Period. 2. Dependable. Users can be as "bleeding edge" or as conservative as they wish. Dependability is available with FreeBSD. Linux is... I'm not sure where. I think a mirage. So, you've got pedigree and dependability. You need suits. PR and an appeal to the conservative and corporate. I'm going to cast about here in Austin and see what I can discover. All I need is a heartbeat and a dialtone.

Yes most of these -- how do I install FreeBSD -- don't deserve on answer. However, as the user community grows, especially in corporate, support becomes critical. In the corporate world they are always looking for who is going to take the bullet when the wheels come off. Why do you suppose IBM was so domininant in Mainframes when it was well known that Burroughs had better technology.

Just because they publish books doesn't mean that they can't also publish books on BSD. In fact, O'Reilly Germany *are* planning a BSD book, but I haven't seen much about it for a while.

I fully understand the Microsoft tactic because I have lived in the corporate world and am well aware of their game. I don't understand the mindset that it takes to keep playing it, except that it is the "safe" bet. I am too green to grasp the inventive issues, but reading arguments presented by you and the others on the NG has started a gremanation process. On the technical side I have much to learn.

In earlier posts I said that we need to evangelize, however when I define an evangelist and a fanatic, the definitions are worlds apart.

The reason for this is probably none of my business, but can't help but wondering why they wouldn't publish it. Suspect that some politics are involved. Who did the Berkeley people piss off to cause this? ORA is in it for the dollars, seems that If the demand is there they should put it out. The thought occurs to use part of your book as the instruction manual to accompany the CD set. Perhaps stripping out the man pages to reduce the cost and use that with the CD set. SuSE Linux provides a book, about 400 pages, similar in scope to the first 400 pages of yours as a manual with their sistribution. It has been well received by users. Just some thought on the professionalism of the distribution.

I have been using FreeBSD for two years now, and I'm convinced of its power and potential. I'd like to do whatever I can to help. I mean it, you have an idea, I'll get actively behind it. I know the president of a prestigious advertising agency, and I'd like to ask him if he'd do any pro bono work toward promoting FreeBSD. His company is currently on-line and receiving email thanks to FreeBSD (and me). I'd like to say thanks to the entire team, and to everyone on this list who spends their time to help people with what is arguably the best operating system to come about. If a small ad campaign is desirable, let me know, and I'll see what I can do. Also, has anything come of the Apple request for Rhapsody help? I'd like to see that kind of cooperation happen. I think it would help tremendously. Sincerely, Joe Clarke On Thu, 9 Apr 1998, Open Systems Networking wrote: > On Thu, 9 Apr 1998, Jordan K.

I've been using FBSD for a nearly 18 months and this thread is the first time that I've heard of some of FBSD's technical strengths (I had even been led to believe that Linux was the more efficient/powerful OS but I chose FBSD for its single distribution). Yes, there is the "features" section of the freebsd.org website but it's not very hard sell - I've come to the conclusion that the "large team of individuals" and FBSD are one of the most humble on the Web. (which is good and, as somebody has mentioned, gives you an air of maturity far from the religious clamourings of the linux group ... but don't be afraid to blow your own trumpet - you deserve it !). One of FreeBSD's strength is the "One single distribution*" as somebody (sorry, I forget) so wisely said. Bring this and other facts clearly to the fore. Play to your strengths. Just my 2 cents (and I hope I haven't spoken out of line). Keep up the fantastic work ! Chas *This also explains part of the reason the Linux groups are so loud... Caldera / RedHat etc are fighting for a piece of the linux pie. That is probably why they initially put more effort into marketing.

The complete operating system source code is located in the directory /usr/src on an installed system. You'll find it in the saem directory on the second CD-ROM of the 4-CD-ROM set. > 2. How can I install our driver from floppy disk? Normally, FreeBSD drivers are bound into the kernel. You can supply them as a loadable kernel module if you want. However, due to the source code nature of FreeBSD, we don't go to much trouble to ensure that LKMs for one version would run on another version. Instead, we recompile the LKM. What this means to you depends on what your company is prepared to do. I can see the following alternatives: 1. You write the driver. We test it and include it in the source distribution. This means that everybody gets a copy of the driver, even if they don't buy the board. 2. If this is not acceptable for Via, you could distribute source code on the floppy. Purchasers of the board could then compile the driver for their own environment. 3. Finally, if that didn't work, you could distribute multiple versions of the LKM on floppy. I think that alternative (3) would be a real headache. The -CURRENT version of FreeBSD changes several times a day. From time to time changes occur which require recompilation of all LKMs. A person using -CURRENT would almost certainly have trouble with a driver supplied in LKM form on floppy. If you have any further questions, I'd be pleased to answer them privately.

The sad thing is that a fair part of the NT growth is based on a self-fulfilling prophecy. NT is supposed to be the future of computing, so everyone jumps on it and gives it more credibility... That's the same as how the PC became the main platform. This is kinda ironic if you remember that a little more than ten years ago, the future was supposed to be OS/2 :-)) -- Pierre.Beyssac@hsc.fr To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Apr 10 03:34:32 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id DAA13103 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Fri, 10 Apr 1998 03:34:32 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from solaris.matti.ee (root@solaris.matti.ee [194.126.98.135]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id DAA13097 for ; Fri, 10 Apr 1998 03:34:29 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from vallo@matti.ee) Received: from localhost (vallo@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by solaris.matti.ee (8.8.8/8.8.8.s) with SMTP id NAA22940 for ; Fri, 10 Apr 1998 13:34:22 +0300 (EET DST) Date: Fri, 10 Apr 1998 13:34:21 +0300 (EET DST) From: Vallo Kallaste X-Sender: vallo@solaris To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Ignore, test message Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG There aren't better place to test my mailer configuration.

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I would like to decipher Amiga diskettes, alas the 800KB kind, written in Amiga's "fast file system" format, and perhaps eventually write also. The FreeBSD floppy driver refers to 10- and 11-sector diskette tracks as "stressed formats" and more or less refuses to touch them. I get hard error messages; I'm careful to refer to /dev/fd0.720. There is no such thing as /dev/fd0.800, and the driver code disapproves. I'm currently running 2.2.2-RELEASE (yah, could be newer). Would an upgrade help? I'd be willing to help write a user-mode program to handle an Amiga raw disk image, if only the raw disk could be read.

I looked at it once and that was my impression, too. Given the fact that it's online and the online version is up to date, the manual set seemed to be of no value. Reminds me of their Apache book, I think it was about version 1.1, totally outdated and useless (to me, anyway).

Someone brought this thread to my attention, and I thought I'd respond directly. 1) We have most definitely NOT abandoned UNIX and open systems. We do the definitive books on virtually every area of freeware and open systems. That includes most of the programs that make this whole shebang work--DNS/Bind, Sendmail, Perl, Linux, Apache--as well as all the non-Internet related UNIX software we've always done books for. We have EXPANDED our line. We are now trying to bring enlightenment to the heathen, so to speak. We are definitely not sucking up to Microsoft. If we were, why would we have hired perennial Microsoft thorn-in-the-side Andrew Shulman to be our chief windows book editor? Our goal is to get under the hood, to get people to question authority, and to fix what's broken, just like they do in the UNIX world. We have this whole series called "Annoyances" (Windows 95 Annoyances, Word Annoyances etc.) that helps people to do all the things MS doesn't like them to do. Or take our NT publishing program. All of our NT admin books show people how to subvert the GUI, how to automate things with Perl. We're bringing the freeware spirit to MS, not caving in to MS. As someone once said, "sunlight is the best disinfectant." Good information helps people to do good work. So please try to get off the binary "if they are doing stuff on Microsoft they've abandoned us." We're also doing books on other platforms--the BeOS, the PalmPilot, even the Mac (e.g. the popular freeware tool, Frontier). Obviously, you can consider the web as a platform as well. We also have a whole series of books on Java, and on Oracle. We see our books on Windows as entirely consistent with our whole history of publishing: we try to give good, honest information that empowers users. As we grow as a company, we're doing that for more and more platforms. 2) Someone else mentioned that Windows books were in the front of the catalog, with UNIX and Linux moved to the back. As a matter of fact, as we've reinvigorated our direct mail efforts, we have a whole bunch of different direct mail catalogs, which rotate different books to the front depending on which list we're testing. We are definitely doing a big campaign to persuade windows users of the value of O'Reilly. But we are doing just as much or more for other communities. For example, both our Perl and Java programs are way higher priority for us, with more books, more marketing dollars, and more focus than Windows. Heck, we've even organized a Perl conference (going on to the second this year...see us in San Jose in August!) to help promote the language. At the same time, we'd be silly to ignore the boys from Redmond. I've been talking to press a lot lately on the heels of the Netscape source code announcement, because I'm one of the most visible spokespeople for the importance of free software. One of the things I heard myself saying is that the free software communities are the hidden "third leg" of the software industry tripod. Microsoft is one leg. Everyone else commercial is the other. And freeware is the third. So I guess I have to turn that around for you guys. We started out with the freeware leg. But if we want to become the dominant computer book publisher (a job we're well on the way towards), we need to serve the entire market, not just one part of it. But mainly what I want to get across is that information has no "color" (to steal an analogy from race relations). People who use Microsoft platforms are just as much in need (actually in more need) of the high quality, objective technical information that is the core of our business. As I said above, think of our Microsoft publishing as "missionary work." :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Apr 10 08:59:11 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA04217 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Fri, 10 Apr 1998 08:59:11 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from serv.unibest.ru (serv.unibest.ru [194.87.33.9]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id IAA04084 for ; Fri, 10 Apr 1998 08:59:02 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from osa@unibest.ru) Received: (qmail 24666 invoked from network); 10 Apr 1998 15:04:09 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO hole.etrust.ru) (192.168.30.2) by serv.unibest.ru with SMTP; 10 Apr 1998 15:04:09 -0000 Date: Fri, 10 Apr 1998 20:00:45 +0400 (MSD) From: Ozz!!!

I thought it was a good start that I saw copies of "The Complete FreeBSD, 2nd Ed." with the CDs and all in a large chain bookstore, Borders Books and Music. Now, if it spreads to the book sections of large computer stores, like I've seen Linux do, we'll be getting somewhere. In my opinion, FreeBSD's just beginning to ramp up it's mindshare, but it needs a significant boost if it is going to compete with Linux. Every chance I get, I tell any interested parties about FreeBSD. Although I find FreeBSD fairly simple to install, I think if it is going to ever make any serious inroads, it will need simpler setup schemes for things like window managers. People like GUIs, and I found getting a decent setup running a bit of a chore. I hate bringing up RedHat (the Linux distribution with which I am most familiar), but they have a decent window manager setup right out of the box (even though it sorta looks like Win95). I think if the FreeBSD team spends a bit more time with making the GUI setup a bit more brainless, then it will make it easier to recommend to quasi-newbies.

I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.5 RELEASE. The sio driver has a section that tests for a Startech 16C650, its ifdef'd out though so is not in the system by default. I have no idea if it's safe to do so (can't be all that dangerous :) but you could try changing the #if 0 to #if 1 in /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/sio.c and build a new kernel.

I am still a newbie to FreeBSD and have it installed on the better half of my laptop's hard drive. Here are my observations: 1. Brett - You seem to be the industry trend man. I have realized this ever since I have been reading your columns and, recently, your e-mail. Do you get advance notice of events like this, or is it all hind sight? YES - we should have been there at the Silicon Valley Linux UG meeting. YES - we should have been at Tim O'Reilly's summit. But we weren't. I know San Diego has a ComputoEdge magazine (also in Colorado) that lists all User Groups and meeting info. 2. Marc Andreesen may not have answered my letter, but Tim O'Reilly did. OK, so maybe we will never get Gates, Andreesen, McNealy, etc.. to push FreeBSD, but what about O'Reilly, David Filo (Yahoo!), etc? 3. If we start FreeBSD User Groups, maybe we can get the people in #2 to come and take advantage of the press. 3. At school (SDSU), the professor that runs the CS networks just switched most of the department's teaching computers from Solaris to FreeBSD. Solaris said that they would release the source code to the school for classes like "Advanced Operating Systems" and "Writing Device Drivers", but they didn't - so they lost out. If we have CS majors using it in college - how can we get them to carry FreeBSD out in to the "real world" after graduation? My two cents....

Here's the setup. A local Linux machine (acculyte), which has always done NFS perfectly (NFSv2, anyway), has been having problems mounting an NFS export from a FreeBSD 2.2.6-STABLE box (ark). 'showmount -e ark' shows the exports list for acculyte (the Linux machine), not ark, as does 'showmount -e acculyte', which would indicate a problem. rpcinfo -e localhost on both machines show mountd and nfsd as running, though the Linux box only uses v2, whereas the FreeBSD box uses v3 as well (both udp and tcp). Any attempt to mount an NFS export from ark to acculyte results in such an error: [acculyte:/#] mount -t nfs ark:/ /ark/nfs/ mount: ark:/ failed, reason given by server: Permission denied The Linux box can mount it's own exports fine, but (because of NFSv3, I believe), the FreeBSD box can neither mount it's own exports, nor any remote exports. I've traced the mount, and checked out the raw packet data, and this is what I get: write(5, "\200\0\0x4/\17\312\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 124) = 124 oldselect(256, [5], NULL, NULL, {20, 0}) = 1 (in [5], left {20, 0}) read(5, "\200\0\0\0344/\17\312\0\0\0\1\0\0"..., 4000) = 32 write(2, "mount: ark:/ failed, reason give"..., 63mount: ark:/ failed, reason given by server: Permission denied -- [acculyte:~#] tcpdump -r nfs.dump 16:59:54.184427 acculyte.clueful.org.707 > ark.sunrpc: udp 56 16:59:54.184427 ark.sunrpc > acculyte.clueful.org.707: udp 28 16:59:54.184427 acculyte.clueful.org.708 > ark.1023: S 2481640088:2481640088(0) win 512 16:59:54.184427 ark.1023 > acculyte.clueful.org.708: S 688501181:688501181(0) ack 2481640089 win 17520 (DF) 16:59:54.184427 acculyte.clueful.org.708 > ark.1023: . ack 1 win 32120 (DF) 16:59:54.194427 acculyte.clueful.org.708 > ark.1023: P 1:125(124) ack 1 win 32120 (DF) 16:59:54.194427 ark.1023 > acculyte.clueful.org.708: P 1:33(32) ack 125 win 17520 (DF) 16:59:54.194427 acculyte.clueful.org.708 > ark.1023: F 125:125(0) ack 33 win 32120 16:59:54.194427 ark.1023 > acculyte.clueful.org.708: . ack 126 win 17520 (DF) 16:59:54.194427 ark.1023 > acculyte.clueful.org.708: F 33:33(0) ack 126 win 17520 (DF) 16:59:54.194427 acculyte.clueful.org.708 > ark.1023: . ack 34 win 32120 (DF) Thanks for any help. -kcm --+ Ken MacInnis - http://bigmac.nether.net/ --+ bigmac@elbbs.com bigmac@clueful.org bigmac@wasteland.net --+ assimilate and deviate thereof.

Check the mount_nfs man page on yer linux box or the mountd man page on the freebsd box. Also check /var/log/messages on the freebsd box, mountd may be having trouble reading /etc/exports. Kill and restart mountd and see if anything shows up in that log file. On Fri, 10 Apr 1998, Ken MacInnis wrote: > ..forgive me if you've seen this message in a few newsgroups.. > > Here's the setup.

By SEAN DAVIS Dow Jones Newswires [From The Wall Street Journal, April 3, 1998, page B7B] NEW YORK-The makers of "Titanic" used it to render the hit film's special effects. NASA uses it to stitch together pictures of Earth. It is free to anyone who wants it, but at least two companies are selling it. The question: What is Linux? Linux is an operating system, like Microsoft Corp.'s Windows. But unlike Windows, no one owns Linux, and its source code - the instructions its developers use to create it-is freely available. Proponents of Linux say because of this, the software stands a good chance of taking business away from Windows NT, the enterprise version of Microsoft's market-leading operating system for workstations. One commercial vendor of Linux, closely held Red Hat Software Inc., expects to sell 400,000 copies of the software at $50 each this year. The operating system generally referred to as Linux got its start in 1983. Richard Stallman, then a programmer at the artificial-intelligence lab at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, set out to create a free alternative to Unix, the operating system developed at AT&T Corp.'s Bell Labs. Mr. Stallman dubbed his operating system GNU, which stands for Gnu's Not Unix. (The recursive acronym is a time-honored tradition in software development, says Mr. Stallman, calling it "hacker humor.") With Mr. Stallman and others building GNU piece by piece, it lacked one vital piece by 1991: the kernel, which makes the operating system run. That is when Linux's namesake came along. Linus Torvalds, then a student at the University of Helsinki, wrote the kernel, named it after himself and made it publicly available under the GNU general public license. (Mr. Torvalds now works for software company Transmeta, a Santa Clara, Calif., start-up whose investors include Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen.) The GNU general public license s another Stallman brainchild. Written in 1985 and revised twice, most recently in 1991, it permits anyone to use Linux, or GNU/Linux, as the operating system also is known. Licensees must agree to provide the source code to subsequent users, even when they sell the software, as they are permitted to do. And users also must agree to make any additions and improvements to the operating system available to the public in the form of source code. This means that a community of hackers and software developers, linked by the Internet, is constantly adding to and improving Linux. The operating system as it exists today is a loosely defined accretion of repairs and new features. The general public license made that possible. But free software doesn't mean free of charge, and that is where closely held companies like Red Hat and its rival, Caldera Inc., come in. Red Hat, of Research Triangle Park, N.C., takes the latest version of Linux off the Internet and packages it for sale in CD-ROM format. Red Hat's president and co-founder, Robert Young, says the company's customers are paying for three things: the convenience of a CD, technical support and a reliable version of the operating system. He says Red Hat, named for co-founder Marc Ewing's Cornell University lacrosse cap, has shipped about 600,000 CDs since its inception in January 1995. Caldera, of Orem, Utah, has a slightly different business model. It adds proprietary elements to Linux, including a user-friendly desktop, and sells the package on CD-ROM. Caldera doesn't publish the source code for the proprietary elements, some of which it licenses from other vendors. Standing behind Caldera is Ray Noorda, who retired as chairman of Novell Inc. in 1994. Canopy Group, a venture capital firm Mr. Noorda founded in 1995, is Caldera's sole investor, and Caldera was started by former Novell employees who worked under Mr. Noorda. Indeed, Mr. Noorda's embrace of Linux is an extension of his well-documented challenge to Microsoft. Earlier this decade, while under Mr. Noorda's leadership, Novell went on a costly acquisition spree to compete with the Redmond, Wash., software giant, a strategy it has since abandoned. Whether Linux can challenge Windows is an open question. The operating system has an estimated five million to 10.5 million users, according to Red Hat. By contrast, Microsoft will ship an estimated 95 million copies of Windows in 1998. But Linux has had some notable successes. For example, the special-effects shop Digital Domain Inc. used powerful computers running Red Hat's version of Linux to render many of the stunning images from "Titanic," including the icy waters that swallowed the ship. Another user is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. When NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland built a supercomputer out of off-the-shelf PC components, it chose Linux to run the number-crunching machine, partly because of the operating system's culture. "There really is a culture in the Linux community of contributing components," said Donald Becker, a staff scientist at Goddard. "Working with a culture like that makes everyone's job easier." Collective development and troubleshooting make Linux both a nimble and uncommonly stable operating system, proponents say. The drawback, Mr. Becker said, is that Linux is always changing, requiring users to update frequently. "But the alternative, is a stagnant system," he said, "so it's a necessary evil." The free software model, for a long time anathema to most commercial software makers, is gaining currency. Netscape Communications Corp. recently said it will start giving away its Navigator Web browser, as well as the source code that makes it run. And Apache, the free Web server software developed by far-flung hackers, is estimated to run about 45% of the Web pages world-wide, more than any other server software product.

I just subscribe to the right mailing lists and read a lot. I found out about the Linux events via the "Appraising Microsoft" list on Ralph Nader's essential.org site, for example. One of the best ways to find out what's going on in the free software world is to watch the major Linux sites on the Net, as well as the mailing lists and newsgroups.

So is there anybody in charge? (sorry maybe this is also a stupid question, as I'm really new to FreeBSD) What I mean is that if you plan to do something there should be a coordinator (maybe elections then if any?), plans and of course funds. I think these kinds of battle need full time involvement. Raising fund should not be that difficult : you can sell T-shirts (I think RH does this already) or any kind of cheap items that FreeBSD users would purchase to support this action (anyway if this leads to a FreeBSD market share development, those people would easily get back their "donation" by "selling" their knowledge at a professional level). I don't really see what I can do myself (though I'd really like to help) as I live in South East Asia which is quite far from where things happen. Well that was just another comment to express my questions and feelings about what's happening. If I really said something stupid please forgive me...

The arguments to routed are -q -t -t -t -T filename I've already setup routed on 2 other FreeBSD machines to act as RIP2 routers (as well as router discovery servers) and they seem to work fine. What I don't understand when testing the route discovery client is why I am seeing sendto(224.0.0.2) "No Route to Host" and sendto(224.0.0.9) "No Route to Host" messages at boot time (as well as at regular intervals after boot.) What I add a default route to rc.conf and reboot, I don't see these messages anymore (even when the default router is to a non-existant gateway.) So it seems that router discover in routed wants a route to exist to 224.0.0.0 Doesn't the need to define a route defeat the purpose of router discovery? Am I missing something?

Any input would be appreciated. I suspect that what you are looking for is NTP - the Network Time Protocol. FreeBSD supports both xntpd for continuous synchronization and ntpdate for one-time sync. For more information about NTP, see http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp If you have the hostname and/or IP address of an open NTP server, you can set the time by running 'ntpdate ' as root. (An open server is one that accepts connections from any host instead of a limited set.) If you want to keep the clock in sync automatically, you can either run ntpdate automatically in cron, or enable xntpd. Enabling xntpd is a little more work, since you must find a nearby open NTP server, or a closed server that will accept you as a new lower-stratum connection, and properly configure the /etc/ntpd.conf file. For a list of stratum 1 & 2 servers see: http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/servers.html In either case, you should un-comment the appropriate lines in /etc/rc.conf. (Look for 'ntp'.) If you enable ntpdate in rc.conf, it will sync the date when the system boots. If you enable xntpd, it will keep it in sync. NOTE that you probably do -not- want to enable timed if you are using ntpd. -Pat To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Apr 10 12:44:05 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id MAA18696 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Fri, 10 Apr 1998 12:44:05 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from wi.net (wi.net [204.95.193.252]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id MAA18591; Fri, 10 Apr 1998 12:43:50 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from laufen@localhost) Received: from chardonnay.vineyard (207.250.150.33) by wi.net with SMTP (Eudora Internet Mail Server 2.1b5); Fri, 10 Apr 1998 14:43:08 -0500 Received: from localhost (derek@localhost) by chardonnay.vineyard (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id OAA00332; Fri, 10 Apr 1998 14:45:58 -0500 (CDT) (envelope-from laufen@localhost) Date: Fri, 10 Apr 1998 14:45:58 -0500 (CDT) From: Derek Laufenberg X-Sender: derek@chardonnay.vineyard To: laufen@wi.net cc: hackers@FreeBSD.ORG, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Fw: Your Article "Freeware: The Heart & Soul of the Internet" In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've been reading this thread and finally decided to throw my .02 cents in. I've been a user of FreeBSD for about 3+ years and have watched the OS grow and improve since 2.0. I selected it over linux because it had to me a more reputable background (4.4BSD). Numerous times I have tried to use the product with in a corporate environment and have gotten shot down by bean counters, marketing weenies, and narrow minded Micro$oft share holders I've worked with. For the record, I was with GE - Medical Systems at the time. Let me review a situation or two. Corporations like GE like the warm and fuzzy feeling of having some other legal entity which they can blame should a problem occur. The mindset is that if support is needed, they can go to the company which sells the OS. Even GE has trouble getting useful support form MSFT, but that doesn't stop the big public agreements which force the use of only their products. The source is available line of argument never seemed to help the support objections. I don't know why, since anytime we incorporated a product into one of our products, we would get a source escrow. I guess the source is hard and takes experts to fix. Beleive or not, I had one of the legal staff tell me that with the name "FreeBSD" we shouldn't use it inside one of our products. It implies an inferior level of technology - clearly, a "you get what you pay for" line of thought. (You should have seen him go over the GPL for some compression code one of my engineers incorporated.) I remember the "whats in a name" thread a few years back. I really wished a new "Marketron"(tm) name would have been selected. "Free" in the coporate world is only good if the customer doesn't know it was free. I did manage to get FreeBSD into one product. It slipped by only because it was for a university research program and would have a limited distribution. (oh yea, the M$FT solution would have cost $1000 more) When our group was force fed PCs for SW development, when our primary tools were Sun/Unix. The "correct" solution was to run xterminal software on the PCs connected to a Sun server. Then two sun servers. Soon six sun servers... We were told to stop using Emacs because it was a resource pig... I brought in my own Freebsd box to show an alternative, but I was told corporate policy prevented users from changing the operating system - or even adding personal software. Yes, Dilbert is a documentary. One valid complaint was made, that was that there were no good tools for working with MS-WORD documents. I still think this is true. I run the StarOffice stuff (not available at the time of this incident) now, but find it very slow and not very compatible. Our system adminstrator made the objection the FreeBSD was insecure and should not be used. His theory was that source code was public so it could be hacked... What I think is needed is the following: 1) A corporate release version of product with - Marketron name - Word, Excel, and Win/NT networking work-a-likes - GUI installed at setup (most corporate admins I've worked with can't handle XF86config files.) - include many office/user packages as part of the install - netscape 2) A support company which charges $$$ for support. - advertising (maybe with enough of this "FreeBSD" name can stay) - (800/900) support number - list of corporate users and the products 3) Stable, predictable releases - Ok, we have this. :) 4) GUI admin tools - adduser, backup, DNS for weenies, ... (i've seen some talk, but they need to be incorporated like AIX or Slowaris) 5) simplified printer setup - GUI I'm sure there are hundreds of other "needs" others can come up with. Thanks for letting me vent a bit. I am truely impressed with the quality of FreeBSD. It has the potential to be a silver bullet, but it needs killer applications - WORD & Excel. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Derek Laufenberg Laufenberg Consulting laufen@wi.net Networking, DICOM To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Apr 10 12:45:42 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id MAA19353 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Fri, 10 Apr 1998 12:45:42 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from horton.iaces.com (horton.iaces.com [204.147.87.98]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id MAA19292 for ; Fri, 10 Apr 1998 12:45:22 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from proot@horton.iaces.com) Received: (from proot@localhost) by horton.iaces.com (8.8.7/8.8.7) id OAA21932; Fri, 10 Apr 1998 14:44:47 -0500 (CDT) From: "Paul T.

The mindset is The really interesting thing is that if you read the Microsoft license agreement, the software is sold as-is. No warrantees expressed or implied. MS isn't responsible for anything that happens when you use their software. So how legally responsible is it if a MS driven missile range crashes and hoses the local neighborhood vs. a FreeBSD driven missle range crashes and hoses all the neighborhoods? Nothing! See, part of the problem is that no one reads these damn licenses. Being a former contract legalese speaking pointy-hair-induvidual, I've read through the MS license. And it doesn't give you jack but the rights to have their intellectual property on your machines. > that if support is needed, they can go to the company which sells the OS. > Even GE has trouble getting useful support form MSFT, but that doesn't > stop the big public agreements which force the use of only their > products. But FreeBSD does have support. Walnut Creek does have support lines for FreeBSD and Linux. Jordan, correct me if I'm wrong. Maybe we need some marketing to say "Oh, and by the way, support if available from Walnut Creek." FreeBSD sells and Walnut Creek picks up the pennies too. > I did manage to get FreeBSD into one product. It slipped by only because > it was for a university research program and would have a limited > distribution. (oh yea, the M$FT solution would have cost $1000 more) A company I was with used FreeBSD to develop Java code that was eventually pushed onto the Windows desktop. I loved it. The ultimate irony. I pay $0 for development tools and sold this project with very little overhead. > What I think is needed is the following: > 1) A corporate release version of product with > - Marketron name I'm all in favor of a marketron name.

The boot.flp image is not a DOS formatted image. It uses the entire disk. You need to get the fdimage.exe utility in the tools directory to create the boot floppy.

I see this all the time on pre-formatted disks (anyone know why?).

If you have the CDROM, look at floppies/README.TXT on the cdrom. The file you are talking about is a FLOPPY DISK IMAGE! The file MUST be downloaded as a BINARY file. The file MUST be written to floppy with a tool like fdimage.exe or rawrite.exe. fdimage.exe is preferred. A word of advice, be sure to get INSTALL.TXT, HARDWARE.TXT, and, possibly RELNOTES.TXT from the distribution site BEFORE you start. READ THESE FILES VERY, VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU BEGIN. The installation is fairly easy, ONCE YOU READ THE INSTRUCTIONS! Good luck. Here is floppies/README.TXT: ==================================== For a normal CDROM or network installation, all you need to copy onto an actual floppy from this directory is the boot.flp image (for 1.44MB floppies). NOTE: These images are NOT DOS files! You cannot simply copy them to a DOS floppy as regular files, you need to *image* copy them to the floppy with fdimage.exe under DOS or `dd' under UNIX. For example: To create the boot floppy image from DOS, you'd do something like this: C> fdimage boot.flp a: Assuming that you'd copied fdimage.exe and boot.flp into a directory somewhere. If you were doing this from the base of a CD distribution, then the *exact* command would be: E> tools\fdimage floppies\boot.flp a: If you're creating the boot floppy from a UNIX machine, you may find that: dd if=floppies/boot.flp of=/dev/rfd0 or dd if=floppies/boot.flp of=/dev/floppy work well, depending on your hardware and operating system environment (different versions of UNIX have totally different names for the floppy drive - neat, huh? :-).

Accordingly I have downloaded the Boot Disk Image file and created the floppy. However, when I try to install using PPP dialup acces to my ISP I only have access to COM1 (0x3f8 IRQ 4). Unfortunately I have an internal modem which uses COM2 (0x2f8 IRQ 3) and COM2 is not available as an option to use for PPP. I have noticed that when the system boots and probes my hardware that I get the message si02 not found. Can you offer any help or assistance with this problem.

I don't know modems very well so take this with a tablespoon of salt. If you only have access to com1 then put your modem there.

A file which is created on someone elses system may have a "lingering" UID, GID from that system depending on how the files migrated to your system. If the UID/GID is not in your '/etc/group' or '/etc/password' then the 'ls' command will report the UID/GID _number_ as user or group owner. This may be utter nonsense on your system. To fix it just do a 'chown' on the files. That GID 6 is missing is odd though. GID 6 is the mail group, which is a group that is installed by default. This should be in your '/etc/group' >From my group file mail:*:6: Have fun, | Stop warning me about the latest virus. Learn more...

Paul was correct about the cost of shipping. To send mail to an FPO is just like sending domestic mail. It may take a while as FPO mail is subject to all of the trappings of the military scenario. If you will be stateside soon (two months), you may as well wait until you get back. It is my understanding that FreeBSD is highly popular in Japan. Perhaps you can find a local copy?

It's possible that this wasn't so in an earlier version of FreeBSD, and the old /etc/group file was "inherited." I checked a more recent system, and discovered that group 68 is "dialer". Oddly, when I did an ls -al, some of the devnodes for serial devices said "uucp dialer" for owner and group, respectively, while others said "uucp 68".

The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, "The Complete FreeBSD", published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. Since going to press, a number of anomalies have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the first edition, formatted on 19 July 1996. If you have this book, please check this list. If you have the second edition (16 December 1997), please check the parallel posting or get the file at ftp://www.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2. I apply these changes to the current source of the book, so if you buy a later edition, they will be in it as well. If you find a bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me (grog@freebsd.org). --- Changes: 5 December 1996 --- Page 192: Middle of the page, the indented small print comment. Replace with: If your system doesn't have the directory /usr/src/sys, then the kernel source has not been installed. To install from the CD-ROM, perform the following steps: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys # ln -s /usr/src/sys /sys # cd / # cat /cdrom/dists/src/sys.* | tar xzvf - The symbolic link /sys for /usr/src/sys is not strictly necessary, but it's a good idea: some software uses it, and otherwise you may end up with two different copies of the sources. --- Changes: 28 November 1996 --- Page 135, second paragraph: replace with In addition, you may need to create the device nodes if they don't already exist. By default, the system contains four virtual terminal devices in the /dev directory. If you use more than this number, you must create them, either with MAKEDEV (see page 162), or with mknod (see page 573). When calculating how many devices you need, note that if you intend to run X11, you need a terminal device without a getty for the X server. For example, if you have enabled /dev/ttyv3, /dev/ttyv4, and /dev/ttyv5, and you also want to run X, you will need a total of 7 virtual terminals (/dev/ttyv0 through /dev/ttyv6). With MAKEDEV, you specify how many virtual terminals you need: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV vty7 make 7 vtys Alternatively, you can do this with mknod: # cd /dev # ls -l ttyv0 crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 0 Nov 28 10:25 ttyv0 # mknod ttyv3 c 12 3 # mknod ttyv4 c 12 4 # mknod ttyv5 c 12 5 # mknod ttyv6 c 12 6 In this example, you list the entry for /dev/ttyv0 in order to check the major device number of the virtual terminals (that's the 12, in this example; it may change from one release to another). You need to specify this number to mknod. For more details about major and minor device numbers, see page 160. --- Changes: 20 November 1996 --- Figure 10-4, page 172: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s3a through /dev/sd1s3h as shown. Figure 10-6, page 176: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are *still* called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s1a through /dev/sd1s1h as shown. (Well, at least the average turned out right :-) The man page section (pages 225 to 766) was sorted by ASCII name of the man page, with the result that the man pages whose names start with upper-case letters come before those whose names start with lower-case letters. Sorry about that. If you're looking for a man page, probably the best place to start is in the Table of Contents on page vi. The man pages are really just excerpts. The total FreeBSD man pages format to some 6,000 pages, far more than I could possibly put in this book. --- Changes: 1 November 1996 --- Major changes: 1. No difference in installation from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. When "The Complete FreeBSD" was written, you still needed a separate installation procedure for installing from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. This is no longer the case. The following modifications to the text come as a result: Page 14, table: Remove references to atapiflp.bat and inst_ide.bat. FreeBSD 2.1.5 no longer has separate boot floppies and installation procedures for ATAPI CD-ROM drives. Page 29: Remove the text "You will also need a different boot disk (/cdrom/floppies/atapi.flp). If you are creating the boot floppy with MS-DOS, you can use the file ATAPIFLP.BAT to create the floppy." The resultant text reads: IDE CD-ROM drives, more properly called ATAPI CD-ROM drives, are a new kind of CD-ROM drive which connect to the same controller as your IDE hard disk. Currently, FreeBSD 2.1.5 support for ATAPI CD-ROM drives is in alpha test. In order to install from an ATAPI CD-ROM, the drive must be jumpered as slave device. The installation may or may not work--please let us know if it doesn't, especially if you can give us some indication about the cause of the trouble. You can also create this boot diskette with the aid of the VIEW program (see Chapter 4, Installing FreeBSD, page 38). Page 35: Remove the points referring to atapi.flp. The text for the third box from the bottom of the page should read: If the direct boot doesn't work, you will need to make a boot floppy, which may be either a 3 1/2" or a 5 1/4" diskette. Create a boot floppy by copying the image /cdrom/boot.flp to diskette. Refer to Chapter 2, Installing FreeBSD, page 39. If you have an IDE (ATAPI) CD-ROM drive, see also the section on this kind of drive in Chapter 2, Installation Concepts, page 29. Page 43, after first example: remove references to ATAPI. The resultant text should read: Don't try this from MS Windows--the installation will fail with the message not enough memory. The boot will progress in the same way as if you had booted from floppy. The advantage of starting VIEW is that you get more documentation: ultimately VIEW will start INSTALL to boot the system. INSTALL doesn't always work. It depends on what drivers or TSRs are in your system. There's no reason to try changing your MS-DOS configuration to get it to work: it's a lot easier just to boot from floppy (see page 38 for further information). 2. Changes to section on installing a second disk. Page 170: The bottom paragraph should read: When the message Three seconds until format begins... appears, you can still change your mind by hitting CTRL-C before the message Formatting... appears. After that, you can't stop the format: most disks can perform a format by themselves, so scsiformat just issues the command to format the disk. Since there is no SCSI bus activity, the disk activity lamp will also not light up, and since the scsiformat program will just be waiting and not using any CPU time, you could easily get the impression the nothing is going on. The disk format can take a long time--depending on the disk, up to 90 minutes. Page 173, after table 10-5: Add the text If you're unlucky, fdisk will give you a completely different idea of the disk geometry from what scsiformat did. Possibly you can decide by examination which program is wrong, or maybe you can look at the dmesg output for a tie-breaker. In all cases I have seen, it has been fdisk that returned the incorrect information, and only when the disk did not have a valid partition table. For example, this happened with a disk formatted for BSD/OS: # scsiformat sd1 MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48 Mode data length: 35 Medium type: 0 Device Specific Parameter: 0 Block descriptor length: 8 Density code: 0 Number of blocks: 2051615 Reserved: 0 Block length: 512 PS: 1 Reserved: 0 Page code: 4 Page length: 22 Number of Cylinders: 1760 Number of Heads: 15 Starting Cylinder-Write Precompensation: 0 Starting Cylinder-Reduced Write Current: 0 Drive Step Rate: 0 Landing Zone Cylinder: 0 Reserved: 0 RPL: 0 Rotational Offset: 0 Reserved: 0 Medium Rotation Rate: 5400 Reserved: 0 Reserved: 0 # fdisk sd1 ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 0 is: sysid 255,(BBT (Bad Blocks Table)) start 1023744, size 2108293151 (1029440 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 768/ sector 15/ head 147; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 255 The data for partition 1 is: sysid 101,(Novell Netware 3.xx) start 1646292846, size 1814062195 (885772 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 356/ sector 50/ head 0; end: cyl 256/ sector 50/ head 114 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 0,(unused) start 0, size 0 (0 Meg), flag 61 beg: cyl 364/ sector 37/ head 98; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 0 The data for partition 3 is: Looking at the output from dmesg, we see: (aha0:1:0): "MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(aha0:1:0): Direct-Access 1001MB (2051615 512 byte sectors) sd1(aha0:1:0): with 1760 cyls, 15 heads, and an average 77 sectors/track In this case, then, you should use the parameters 1760 cylinders, 15 heads, and 77 sectors per track. What's less obvious here is the number of cylinders: fdisk doesn't have an opinion, and scsiformat and dmesg decided it has 2,051,615 sectors. Unfortunately, if you calculate the number according to the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, you'll come up with a different result: in this case 1760 x 15 x 77 = 2,032,800. How come? The disks report the total number of sectors, including spare tracks and such, but you can't use them all. The 2,032,800 is the correct number, and if you try to specify 2,051,615 to disklabel, it will spit out lots of messages about partitions which go beyond the end of the disk. Page 173, middle of page. Change the text after the "no magic" message to: The message no magic doesn't mean that fdisk is out of purple smoke. It refers to the fact that it didn't find the so-called magic number, which identifies the partition table. Since we don't have a partition table yet, this message isn't surprising. It's also completely harmless. Page 173, last example. Remove the first 22 lines, from ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* to, but not including the next occurrence of this line. Page 177, bulleted list: add the bullet * The total number of sectors in the partition. Calculate the number from the the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, even if you are using the whole disk: the output from dmesg or scsiformat is not correct here. Page 178, middle of page: after # disklabel -w -r /dev/sd1c cdc94161 insert When you do this, expect a kernel message (in high-intensity display) saying ``Cannot find disk label''. Since there isn't any label, it can't be found. This is another harmless chicken and egg problem. Page 182: In the section "Creating the file systems", add the first line to the example: # newfs /dev/rsd1h Further down the page, the last example should also read # newfs /dev/rsd1h 3. Other changes Page 41, after the heading "Installing from an MS-DOS partition". Add the text: It's also possible to install from a primary MS-DOS partition on the first disk. At the moment, it's not possible to install from extended partitions. Page 136, bottom: Add the text If you are changing the root password, be careful: it's easy enough to lock yourself out of the system if you mess things up, which could happen if, for example, you mistyped the password twice in the same way (don't laugh, it happens). If you're running X, open another window and use su to become root. If you're running in character mode, select another virtual terminal and log in as root there. Only when you're sure you can still access root should you log out. Page 152, just before the heading "The online manual". Add: Yes, you really need to run latex three times in order to build the cross-references. Page 199, the end of the multipage table is garbled. It should read: ze0 214 IBM/National Semiconductor PCMCIA ethernet controller zp0 214 3Com PCMCIA Etherlink III Page 205: Change the section titled "lpt0" to: lpt0 through lpt2 are the three printer ports you could conceivably have. Most people don't have three printers: you can comment out the definitions of the printers which you don't have. Page 208, bottom of page: swap the italicized headings "Adaptec 274X controller" and "Adaptec 1274X controller" Many thanks to Paul DuBois and Jerry Dunham for finding many of these bugs.

The result is that most leading edge com- puter books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, ``The Complete FreeBSD'', published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. The sec- ond edition has only just been published, but already a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the second edition, formatted on 16 December 1997. If you have this book, please check this list. If you have the first edition of 19 July 1996, please check ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-1. This same file is also available via the web link http://www.lemis.com/. This list is available in four forms: o A PostScript version, suitable for printing out, at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.ps. See page 222 of the book to find out how to print out PostScript. If at all possible, please take this docu- ment: it's closest to the original text. Be careful selecting this file with a web browser: it is often impossible to reload the document, and you may see a previously cached version. o An enhanced ASCII version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.txt. When viewed with more or less, this version will show some highlighting and under- lining. It's not suitable for direct viewing. o An ASCII-only version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.ascii. This version is posted every week to the FreeBSD-questions mailing list. Only take this version if you have real problems with PostScript: I can't be sure that the lack of different fonts won't confuse the meaning. o A web version at http://www.lemis.com/errata-2.html. All these modifications have been applied to the ongoing source text of the book, so if you buy a later edition, they will be in it as well. If you find a bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me at General changes _______________ o In a number of places, I suggest the use of the following command to find process information: $ ps aux | grep foo Unfortunately, ps is sensitive to the column width of the terminal emulator upon which it is working. This command usually works fine on a relatively wide xterm, but if you're running on an 80-column terminal, it may truncate exactly the information you're looking for, so you end up with no output. You can fix that with the w option: $ ps waux | grep foo Thanks to Sue Blake for this information Location of the sample files ____________________________ The 2.2.5 CD-ROM came out before the book, and it contains the files on the third (repository) CD-ROM as a single gzipped tar file /xperimnt/cfbsd/cfbsd.tar.gz. It contains the following files: drwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 0 Oct 17 13:01 1997 cfbsd/ drwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 0 Oct 17 13:01 1997 cfbsd/mutt/ -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 352 Oct 15 15:21 1997 cfbsd/mutt/.mail_aliases -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 9394 Oct 15 15:22 1997 cfbsd/mutt/.muttrc drwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 0 Oct 17 14:02 1997 cfbsd/scripts/ -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 18281 Oct 16 16:52 1997 cfbsd/scripts/.fvwm2rc -rwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 1392 Oct 17 12:54 1997 cfbsd/scripts/install-desktop -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 296 Oct 17 12:35 1997 cfbsd/scripts/.xinitrc -rwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 622 Oct 17 13:51 1997 cfbsd/scripts/install-rcfiles -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 1133 Oct 17 13:00 1997 cfbsd/scripts/Uutry -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 1028 Oct 17 14:02 1997 cfbsd/scripts/README drwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 0 Oct 18 19:32 1997 cfbsd/docs/ -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 199111 Oct 16 14:29 1997 cfbsd/docs/packages.txt -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 189333 Oct 16 14:28 1997 cfbsd/docs/packages-by-category.txt -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 188108 Oct 16 14:29 1997 cfbsd/docs/packages.ps -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 226439 Oct 16 14:27 1997 cfbsd/docs/packages-by-category.ps -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 788 Oct 16 15:01 1997 cfbsd/README -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 248 Oct 17 11:52 1997 cfbsd/errata To extract one of these files, say cfbsd/docs/packages.txt, and assuming you have the CD-ROM mounted as /cdrom, enter: # cd /usr/share/doc # tar xvzf /cdrom/xperimnt/cfbsd/cfbsd.tar.gz cfbsd/docs/packages.txt See page 209 for more information on using tar. These files are an early version of what is described in the book. I'll put up some updated versions on ftp://ftp.lemis.com/ in the near future. Thanks to Frank McCormick for drawing this to my attention. Page xxxiv __________ Before the discussion of the shell prompts in the middle of the page, add: In this book, I recommend the use of the Bourne shell or one of its descendents (sh, bash, pdksh, ksh or zsh). With the exception of sh, they are all in the Ports Collection. I personally use the bash shell. This is a personal preference, and a recommendation, but it's not the standard shell. The standard BSD shell is the C shell (csh), which has a fuller-fea- tured descendent tcsh. In particular, the standard installation sets the root user up with a csh. See page 152 (in this errata) for details of how to change the shell. Page 12: Printing the handbook ______________________________ The instructions for formatting the handbook are obsolete. Replace the section starting Alternatively, you can print out the handbook with the following text: Alternatively, you can print out the handbook. You need to have the documenta- tion sources (/usr/doc) installed on your system. You can find them on the second CD-ROM in the directory of the same name. To install them, first mount your CD-ROM (see page 175). Then enter: $ cd /cdrom/usr/doc/handbook $ mkdir -p /usr/doc/handbook you may need to be root for this operation $ cp -pr * /usr/doc/handbook You have a choice of formats for the output: o ascii will give you plain 7-bit ASCII output, suitable for reading on a char- acter-mode terminal. o html will give you HTML output, suitable for browsing with a web browser. o latex will give you LATEX format, suitable for further processing with TEX and LATEX. o ps will give you PostScript output, probably the best choice for printing. o roff will give you output in troff source. You can process this output with nroff or troff, but it's currently not very polished. LATEX output is a bet- ter choice if you want to process it further. Once you have decided your format, use make to create the document. For exam- ple, if you decide on PostScript format, you would enter: $ make FORMATS=ps This creates a file handbook.ps which you can then print to a PostScript print- er or with the aid of ghostscript (see page 222). Thanks to Bob Beer for drawing this to my attention. Page 45: Preparing floppies for installation _____________________________________________ Replace the paragraph below the list of file names (in the middle of the page) with: The floppy set should contain the file bin.inf and the ones whose names start with bin. followed by two letters. These other files are all 240640 bytes long, except for the final one which is usually shorter. Use the MS-DOS COPY program to copy as many files as will fit onto each disk (5 or 6) until you've got all the distributions you want packed up in this fashion. Copy each dis- tribution into subdirectory corresponding to the base name--for example, copy the bin distribution to the files A:\BIN\BIN.INF, A:\BIN\BIN.AA and so on. Page 80 and 81 ______________ In a couple of examples, the FreeBSD partition is shown as type 164. It should be 165. Thanks to an unknown contributer for this correction (sorry, I lost your name). Page 92 _______ At the end of the section How to install a package add the text: Alternatively, you can install packages from the /stand/sysinstall Final Con- figuration Menu. We saw this menu on page in figure 4-14 on page 71. When you start sysinstall from the command line, you get to this menu by selecting In- dex, and then selecting Configure. Page 93 _______ Before the heading Install ports from the first CD-ROM add: Install ports when installing the system ________________________________________ The file ports/ports.tgz on the first CD-ROM is a tar archive containing all the ports. You can install it with the base system if you select the Custom distribution and include the ports collection. If you didn't install them at the time, use the following method to install them all (about 40 MB). Make sure your CD-ROM is mounted (in this example on /cdrom), and enter: Page 96 _______ After the example at the top of the page, add: If you're using csh or tcsh, enter: # cd /cdrom/ports/distfiles # mkdir -p /usr/ports/distfiles make sure you have a distfiles directory # foreach i (*) ? ln -s $i /usr/ports/distfiles/$i ? end Thanks to Christopher Raven for drawing this to my atten- tion. Page 128 ________ Replace the complete text below the example with the following: These values are defaults, and many are either incorrect for FreeBSD (for exam- ple the device name /dev/com1) or do not apply at all (for example Xqueue). If you are configuring manually, select one Protocol and one Device entry from the following selection. If you must use a two-button mouse, uncomment the keyword Emulate3Buttons--in this mode, pressing both mouse buttons simultaneously with- in Emulate3Timeout milliseconds causes the server to report a middle button press. Section "Pointer" Protocol "Microsoft" for Microsoft protocol mice Protocol "MouseMan" for Logitech mice Protocol "PS/2" for a PS/2 mouse Protocol "Busmouse" for a bus mouse Device "/dev/ttyd0" for a mouse on the first serial port Device "/dev/ttyd1" for a mouse on the second serial port Device "/dev/ttyd2" for a mouse on the third serial port Device "/dev/ttyd3" for a mouse on the fourth serial port Device "/dev/psm0" for a PS/2 mouse Device "/dev/mse0" for a bus mouse Emulate3Buttons only for a two-button mouse EndSection You'll notice that the protocol name does not always match the manufacturer's name. In particular, the Logitech protocol only applies to older Logitech mice. The newer ones use either the MouseMan or Microsoft protocols. Nearly all modern serial mice run one of these two protocols, and most run both. If you are using a bus mouse or a PS/2 mouse, make sure that the device driver is included in the kernel. The GENERIC kernel contains drivers for both mice, but the PS/2 driver is disabled. Use UserConfig (see page 50) to enable it. Page 140 ________ Just before the paragraph The super user add the following paragraph: If you do manage to lose the root password, all may not be lost. Reboot the machine to single user mode (see page 157), and enter: # mount -u / mount root file system read/write # passwd root change the password for root Enter new password: Enter password again: # ^D enter ctrl-D to continue with startup Note that you should explicitly state the name root: in single user mode, the system doesn't have the concept of user IDs. Page 148 ________ Replace the text at the top of the page with: Modern shells supply command line editing which resembles the editors vi or Emacs. In bash, sh, ksh, and zsh you can make the choice by entering Page 152 ________ After figure 10-8, add the following text: It would be tedious for every user to put settings in their private initializa- tion files, so the shells also read a system-wide default file. For the Bourne shell family, it is /etc/profile, while the C shell family has three files: /etc/csh.login to be executed on login, /etc/csh.cshrc to be executed when a new shell is started after you log in, and /etc/csh.logout to be executed when you stop a shell. The start files are executed before the corresponding indi- vidual files. In addition, login classes (page 141) offer another method of setting environ- ment variables at a global level. Changing your shell ___________________ The FreeBSD installation gives root a C shell, csh. This is the traditional Berkeley shell, but it has a number of disadvantages: command line editing is very primitive, and the script language is significantly different from that of the Bourne shell, which is the de facto standard for shell scripts: if you stay with the C shell, you may still need to understand the Bourne shell. The lat- est version of the Bourne shell sh also includes some command line editing. See page 148 for details of how to enable it. You can get better command line editing with tcsh, in the Ports Collection. You can get both better command line editing and Bourne shell syntax with bash, also in the Ports Collection. If you have root access, you can use vipw to change your shell, but there's a more general way: use chsh (Change Shell). Simply run the program. It starts your favourite editor (as defined by the EDITOR environment variable). Here's an example before: #Changing user database information for velte. Shell: /bin/csh Full Name: Jack Velte Location: Office Phone: Home Phone: You can change anything after the colons. For example, you might change this to: #Changing user database information for velte. Shell: /usr/local/bin/bash Full Name: Jack Velte Location: On the road Office Phone: +1-408-555-1999 Home Phone: chsh checks and updates the password files when you save the modifications and exit the editor. The next time you log in, you get the new shell. chsh tries to ensure you don't make any mistakes--for example, it won't let you enter the name of a shell which isn't mentioned in the file /etc/shells--but it's a very good idea to check the shell before logging out. You can try this with su, which you normally use to become super user: bumble# su velte Password: su-2.00$ note the new prompt There are a couple of problems in using tcsh or bash as a root shell: o The shell for root must be on the root file system, otherwise it will not work in single user mode. Unfortunately, most ports of shells put the shell in the directory /usr/local/bin, which is almost never on the root file sys- tem. o Most shells are dynamically linked: they rely on library routines in files such as /usr/lib/libc.a. These files are not available in single user mode, so the shells won't work. You can solve this problem by creating statically linked versions of the shell, but this requires programming experience beyond the scope of this book. If you can get hold of a statically linked version, perform the following steps to install it: o Copy the shell to /bin, for example: # cp /usr/local/bin/bash /bin o Add the name of the shell to /etc/shells, in this example the line in bold print: # List of acceptable shells for chpass(1). # Ftpd will not allow users to connect who are not using # one of these shells. /bin/sh /bin/csh /bin/bash You can then change the shell for root as described above. Thanks to Lars Koller for drawing this to my attention. Page 160 ________ Replace the text at the fourth bullet with the augmented text: The second-level boot locates the kernel, by default the file /kernel on the root file system, and loads it into memory. It prints the Boot: prompt at this point so that you can influence this choice--see the man page on page 579 for more details of what you can enter at this prompt. Page 176 ________ Add the following paragraph Unmounting file systems When you mount a file system, the system assumes it is going to stay there, and in the interests of efficiency it delays writing data back to the file system. This is the same effect we discussed on page 158. As a result, if you want to stop using a file system, you need to tell the system about it. You do this with the umount command. Note the spelling--there's no n in the command name. You need to do this even with read-only media such as CD-ROMs: the system as- sumes it can access the data from a mounted file system, and it gets quite un- happy if it can't. Where possible, it locks removable media so that you can't remove them from the device until you unmount them. Using umount is straightforward: just tell it what to unmount, either the de- vice name or the directory name. For example, to unmount the CD-ROM we mounted in the example above, you could enter one of these commands: # umount /dev/cd1a # umount /cd1 Before unmounting a file system, umount checks that nobody is using it. If somebody is using it, it will refuse to unmount it with a message like umount: /cd1: Device busy. This message often occurs because you have changed your di- rectory to a directory on the file system you want to remove. For example (which also shows the usefulness of having directory names in the prompt): === root@freebie (/dev/ttyp2) /cd1 16 -> umount /cd1 umount: /cd1: Device busy === root@freebie (/dev/ttyp2) /cd1 17 -> cd === root@freebie (/dev/ttyp2) ~ 18 -> umount /cd1 === root@freebie (/dev/ttyp2) ~ 19 -> Thanks to Ken Deboy for pointing out this omission. Page 197, first line ____________________ The text of the first full sentence reads: The first name, up the the symbol, is the label. In fact, it should read: The first name, up to the | symbol, is the label. Page 208, middle of page ________________________ The example shows the file name /dev/rst0 when using the Bourne shell, and /dev/nrst0 when using C shell and friends. This is inconsistent; use /dev/nrst0 with any shell if you want a non-rewinding tape, or /dev/rst0 if you want a rewinding tape. Thanks to Norman C Rice for pointing out this one. Page 219 ________ Before the section Testing the spooler add the following section: Starting the spooler ____________________ As we saw above, the line printer daemon lpd is responsible for printing spooled jobs. If you're root, you can start it by name: # lpd Normally, however, you will want it to be started automatically when the system starts up. You do this by setting the variable lpd_enable in /etc/rc.conf: lpd_enable="YES" # Run the line printer daemon See page 1609 for more details of /etc/rc.conf. Thanks to Tommy G. James for bringing this to my atten- tion. Page 242 ________ The instructions for extracting the source files from CD-ROM in the middle of page 242 are incorrect. You'll find the kernel sources on the first CD-ROM in the directory /src. Replace the example with: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys # ln -s /usr/src/sys /sys # cd / # cat /cdrom/src/sys.* | tar xzvf - Thanks to Raymond Noel and Suttipan Limanond for finding this one. Page 283, ``Creating the source tree'' ______________________________________ Add a third point to what you need to know: 3. Possibly, the date of the last update that you want to be included in the checkout. If you specify this date, cvs ignores any more recent updates. This option is often useful when somebody discovers a recently introduced bug in -CURRENT: you check out the modules as they were before the bug was introduced. You specify the date with the -D option, for example -D "10 December 1997". Page 285, after the second example. ___________________________________ Add the text: If you need to check out an older version, for example if there are problems with the most recent version of -CURRENT, you could enter: # cvs co -D "10 December 1997" src/sys This command checks out the kernel sources as of 10 December 1997. Page 364, middle of page ________________________ Change the text from: The names MYADDR and HISADDR are keywords which represent the addresses at each end of the link. They must be written as shown, though they may be in lower case. to The names MYADDR and HISADDR are keywords which represent the addresses at each end of the link. They must be written as shown, though newer versions of ppp allow you to write them in lower case. Thanks to Mark S. Reichman for this correction. Page 397 ________ In the section ``Nicknames'', the example should read: www IN CNAME freebie ftp IN CNAME presto In other words, there should be a space between CNAME and the system name. Page 466, before the ps example _______________________________ Add another bullet: o Finally, you may find it convenient to let some other system handle all your mail delivery for you: you just send anything you can't deliver locally to this other host, which sendmail calls a smart host. This is particularly convenient if you send your mail with UUCP. To tell sendmail to use a smart host (in our case, mail.example.net), find the following line in sendmail.cf: # "Smart" relay host (may be null) DS Change it to: # "Smart" relay host (may be null) DSmail.example.net Page 478, ``Running Apache'' ____________________________ The text describes the location of the server as /usr/local/www/server/httpd. This appears to depend on where you get the port from. Some people report the file being at the more likely location /usr/local/sbin/httpd (though note the directory sbin, not bin). Check both locations if you run into trouble. Thanks to Sue Blake for this information. Page 493 ________ Replace the last sentence on the page with: Select the socket options TCP_NODELAY and IPTOS_LOWDELAY, which can speed up the response time of such applications by over 95%.

If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V: How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction =============== This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with break- ing into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions ============================================== When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG. In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as grog@lemis.de. Since then, I have changed it to grog@lemis.com. If I were to try to remove grog@lemis.com from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to Postmaster@FreeBSD.org, and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? ========================================= Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In some cases, it's not really clear which group you should ask. The following criteria should help for 99% of all questions, however: If the question is of a general nature, ask FreeBSD-questions. Examples might be questions about intstalling FreeBSD or the use of a particular UNIX utility. If you think the question relates to a bug, but you're not sure, or you don't know how to look for it, send the message to FreeBSD-questions. If the question relates to a bug, and you're sure that it's a bug (for example, you can pinpoint the place in the code where it happens, and you maybe have a fix), then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. If the question relates to enhancements to FreeBSD, and you can make suggestions about how to implement them, then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. There are also a number of other specialized mailing lists, for example FreeBSD-isp, which caters to the interests of ISPs (Internet Service Providers) who run FreeBSD. If you happen to be an ISP, this doesn't mean you should automatically send your questions to FreeBSD-isp. The criteria above still apply, and it's in your interest to stick to them, since you're more likely to get good results that way. IV: How to submit a question ============================= When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider the following points: 1. Remember that nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer even if you follow these rules. It's much more possible to not get an answer if you don't. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message: they look at the subject line and decide whether it interests them. Clearly, it's in your interest to specify a subject. ``FreeBSD problem'' or ``Help'' aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, many people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!!. We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak English as their first language, and we try to make allowances for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message written full of typos or without any line breaks. A lot of badly formatted messages come from bad mailers or badly configured mailers. The following mailers are known to send out badly formatted messages without you finding out about them: Eudora exmh Microsoft Exchange Microsoft Internet Mail Microsoft Outlook Netscape As you can see, the mailers in the Microsoft world are frequent offenders. If at all possible, use a UNIX mailer. If you must use a mailer under Microsoft environments, make sure it is set up correctly. Try not to use MIME: a lot of people use mailers which don't get on very well with MIME. For further information on this subject, check http://www.lemis.com/email.html. 4. Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly. This may seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but many of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred messages a day. They frequently sort the incoming messages by subject and by date, and if your message doesn't come before the first answer, they may assume they missed it and not bother to look. 5. Don't include unrelated questions in the same message. Firstly, a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to read the message. 6. Specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: If you get error messages, don't say ``I get error messages'', say (for example) ``I get the error message 'No route to host'''. If your system panics, don't say ``My system panicked'', say (for example) ``my system panicked with the message 'free vnode isn't'''. If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what hardware you have. In particular, it's important to know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine. If you have difficulty getting PPP to run, describe the configuration. Which version of PPP do you use? What kind of authentication do you have? Do you have a static or dynamic IP address? What kind of messages do you get in the log file? 7. If you do all this, and you still don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message again and again will only make you unpopular. To summarize, let's assume you know the answer to the following question (yes, it's the same one in each case :-). You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1.5 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it. I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16 MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive. The installation works just fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing Operating System". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- V: How to answer a question =========================== Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider: 1. A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to answering questions. Read them. 2. Has somebody already answered the question? The easiest way to check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all together. If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean that you shouldn't send another answer. But it makes sense to read all the other answers first. 3. Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been said? In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much, although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software. If you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further relevant information. 4. Are you sure your answer is correct? If not, wait a day or so. If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI CD-ROM with a frog?". 5. Don't do a group reply; lots of people send messages with hundreds of CCs. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, just reply to the person and copy FreeBSD-questions. 6. Trim the original message to the minimum, and use some technique to identify which text came from the original message, and which text you add. I personally find that prepending "> " to the original message works best. Leaving white space after the ">" and leave empty lines between your text and the original text both make the result more readable. Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a text such as "Re: ". If your mailer doesn't do it automatically, you should do it manually. If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too long, inappropriate subject line), *please* fix it. In the case of an incorrect subject line (such as "HELP!!??"), change the subject line to (say) "Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was: HELP!!??)". That way other people trying to follow the thread will have less difficulty following it. In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you did it, but try not to be rude. If you find you can't answer without being rude, don't answer. If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format, just reply to the submitter, not to the list. You can just send him this message in reply, if you like.

Go to http://www.freebsd.org/ The same place that you got this address is where you learn how to subscribe to the list. Regarding the "mode" message; see 'man xf86config' and 'man X' and 'man XF86Config'. You probably have to run 'xf86config' to tell X which video card and monito you have.

I know Andy Oram is favourable towards it, but Frank Willison (Editor in chief) obviously is not. I asked Andy about this matter, and he said that he hadn't been involved, and that it wouldn't make any sense to comment. > Most of the directional decisions happen on the west coast; the > Cambridge office is almost exclusively production staff, though there > are some marketing people and editors. Interesting. That's not the impression I have had. Sure, Tim makes his decisions in Sebastopol, but I thought most of the other stuff happened in Cambridge. Of course, things could have changed. They have expanded a lot in Sebastopol since the first time I was there. >> I've just about given up with ORA.

If ORA had kept its commitment to UNIX, I wouldn't have worried so much about the Microsoft books. I'm currently (too slowly) writing a book about debugging for ORA. One of the things that Andy asked me was to include NT.

I our heterogenous computer environment we use a commercial client/server backup system (NSR) which runs on several platforms. Unfortunately, client software for this system is available only for Linux and not for FreeBSD :-(. This software seems to work fine under FreeBSD (because of the excellent Linux emulation :)) but with one ugly exception: Instead of files and directories in the / tree the /compat/linux tree is accessed. Especially addressing of a subdirectory for which the corresponding /compat/linux directory exists yields in accessing ONLY the Linux files. The same effect occurs for example if you use a Linux find: $ ./find /etc /etc /etc/host.conf /etc/ld.so.conf /etc/ld.so.cache /etc/revision-history /etc/nsswitch.conf $ For backup purposes this behaviour is not very useful. In the worst case a backup consists only of Linux files - the last thing we want to backup. Can anyone help us?

Otherwise if you want to continue with the port go to ftp.freebsd.org/pub/distfiles and download the distfile that the port is looking for. Try one of the mirror sites first (to keep traffic down) but I've found that some ports (like netscape) only appear to be available at ftp.freebsd.org Put the downloaded distfile in /usr/ports/distfiles and try to `make` the port again. Getting a different window manager is the same kind of thing. Have a look at http://www.freebsd.org/ports/x11.html there are a few window managers in there. As for setting them up that's a different story. I'm trying to come to grips with fvwm2. Basically in your .xinitrc you put the name of your preferred window manager in place of where it currently says twm. Then you start customising. There are man pages available when you install the ports/packages eg: man fvwm2 When you get this far ask on the list and someone will probably give you a start.

The idea was not to start a pissing match with linux or NT. It was simply to point out the fact that FreeBSD works harder than other OS's based on actual, verifiable, servers. And I think as previously mentioned we have to pick our target audience. Which someone suggests should be corporate america. And I agree with that. We cannot take the desktop if someone donated 20 trillion dollars to FreeBSD Inc. tommorow :) But we can take server markets, and alot of non-desktop markets. We just need to focus and pick and choose our fights. And we NEED PR. We need to start being visable. More so than we have up to now. Thats my thinking anyway. We are gaining no ground. We need to change this and I think a PR offensive is our best choice right now. It certainly cant do any worse than our invisible image now :) Chris -- "I am closed minded.

"We don't have an operating system we can give away for free to our customers," says Netscape spokeswoman Chris Holten in the article. "This promotion begs the question whether Microsoft is abusing their monopoly power." Does anyone else besides me see this as a big opportunity for FreeBSD? Jordan, how fast can Walnut Creek get on the horn to Netscape and offer to do a large run of FreeBSD CD-ROMs just for them -- either the standard release or a special one with Netscape's server on the disks? If they buy a big lot, WC will make a tidy profit and FreeBSD will get a big boost. --Brett Glass To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Apr 10 18:25:42 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id SAA05167 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Fri, 10 Apr 1998 18:25:42 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from allegro.lemis.com (allegro.lemis.com [192.109.197.134]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id SAA05132 for ; Fri, 10 Apr 1998 18:24:48 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from grog@lemis.com) Received: from freebie.lemis.com (freebie.lemis.com [192.109.197.137]) by allegro.lemis.com (8.8.7/8.8.5) with ESMTP id KAA19859; Sat, 11 Apr 1998 10:54:13 +0930 (CST) Received: (from grog@localhost) by freebie.lemis.com (8.8.8/8.8.7) id KAA09114; Sat, 11 Apr 1998 10:54:13 +0930 (CST) (envelope-from grog) Message-ID: <19980411105412.14660@freebie.lemis.com> Date: Sat, 11 Apr 1998 10:54:12 +0930 From: Greg Lehey To: Luiz Lins , "freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG" Subject: Re: Fatal Trap 12 References: <352E5FB9.FFE53271@linkoteca.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.89i In-Reply-To: <352E5FB9.FFE53271@linkoteca.com>; from Luiz Lins on Fri, Apr 10, 1998 at 03:06:49PM -0300 WWW-Home-Page: http://www.lemis.com/~grog Organization: LEMIS, PO Box 460, Echunga SA 5153, Australia Phone: +61-8-8388-8286 Fax: +61-8-8388-8725 Mobile: +61-41-739-7062 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Fri, 10 April 1998 at 15:06:49 -0300, Luiz Lins wrote: > Greetings. > > I have a FreeBSD-2.2.5 RELEASE runnung in a P133 48Mb RAM, HD SCSI > 4.1 Gb, adaptec 2940 controller..... > > Everything was OK, when a few days ago, the machine began to lock > and reboot automaitically.

I've never seen this message in all caps before. I don't know what that means. The message itself indicates an unexpected condition, and doesn't give much of an indication about where it happened. If you can get a dump of the system, it would help. Take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook268.html#608 for details of how to take a dump.

I am (still) using 2.2.2-RELEASE and the user PPP that came with it. I have packet aliasing working, but cannot get it to alias Internet games to my private network that use UDP. I have gotten the impression that the new(?) version of PPP supports the 'alias' command to force the aliasing of specific packet types on specific ports from within the PPP interface, but cannot get the source for PPP to compile on my system as gotten from the FTP site. Any help here, or a bin, or .tgz file would be greatly appreciated. If it helps at all, the games I am trying to get to work specifically are Starcraft and Quake. Thanks very much in advance.

Quite possibly, but not pushing at all could be just as devestating if not more so, if Linux consumes the market who will support FreeBSD? Look at the Apple Mac - the supposedly independant platform, and now part owned by its biggest rival. How? because Microsoft cornered the software market and squeezed Apple over. If Linux corners all the commercial support, who will use FreeBSD? Even though it is a superior platform it could well end up largely unsupported. What I am trying to say here is FreeBSD *MUST* be pushed or it will lose out to Linux period, and I don't think the Linux community will buy into FreeBSD to help it. P.S. - why doesn't the FreeBSD team (or others) send FreeBSD information to the broadcasting / publishing guys to promote another such article (as per Linux) but about FreeBSD. I am sure that the BBC could be grabbed - its a start isnt it? Even send me the info and I can pester the UK media for you. Chris R.

Before now, they were not there. This is because there's no way of getting to x.x.x.x (yet). It may be a result of running ppp in non-auto mode, and doing an "add 0 0 HISADDR" in ppp.conf. If you're not running -auto mode, there shouldn't be any ``add'' or ``delete'' commands in ppp.conf.

I was told by alot of ppl on #freebsd on efnet that I don't know how to use ppp. Well I say that there is a problem with the /stand/sysinstall that comes with the boot.bin from FreeBSD. Last night I went with my pc to my ISP. I tried to do PPP from their office. Same crap. No PPP...only ppp which is no good. I had to use ethernet connection to download FreeBSD v. 2.2.6. I have it now installed and am writing this letter with netscape on FreeBSD with a PPP connection with 2.2.6. I tried for hours with all kinds of combinations like, 127.0.0.1/0 0.0.0.0 and with ISP's addy as 0. All with no luck. I don't know what I can tell you except see if you can get an ethernet connection to download. If not, I think you won't have much choice but to buy the cdroms or get yourself an eariler verion at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org Take care, Lanny P.S. try going to efnet on irc and to #freebsd .... maybe you will have better luck than I did.

I previously posted to the doc list that Barnes and Noble and Bookstop have it in their catalog but none on the shelf. If you are going to buy this, *buy it from any of these three*!! And, do as I have, pester other retailers. Borders has 4 on order. I plan to get mine there. Ordering from WC is fine, but we must support the retail effort. I have also called my hardware vendor and volunteered to help get anyone interested in Unix started. They do get inquiries and do make sales but offer no support. They seemed very pleased for the offer and will gladly make referrals. Its a start.

A number of years ago I saw the first issue of the Linux magazine. Then heard no more about it. I was pleased that at last the Free Unix world has a real (paper) rag in circulation; and the following year when I began running FreeBSD I thought that it would be nice if this Linux pub could be merged in with the FBSD world. <> Well, I've heard the buzzer there. But it still leaves open the issue of having a pay-for or free FBSD publication. Quarterly at first; then perhaps bi-monthly. I've seen one of the ``Announcement'' circulars from WC//FBSD. Could this serve as our house organ? Say 4 to 8 pages for the first few issues. And expanding. I was a writer several lifetimes ago, and altho tech writing is nearly beyond me (it ain't easy, folks), I'd be willing to invest time in a *BSD magazine. There are hundreds or thousands among the BSD users more skilled than I, so should be no lack of articles. We could also have an online magazine; either ASCII-only or HTML distributed by email. Publicizing the Berkeley Software Distribution will require sweat; and imagination. It shouldn't take that much capital. gary > -- Gary D.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG First, I was to say thanks for producing FreeBSD. I've been fooling around with many Unix and Unix like systems for some time and I find that FreeBSD just "feels right". Keep up the good work. Now on to the stupid user questions: 1) Is kde on the 2.2.5 CDROM? The docs imply that it is but I can't find it. If not where is the best site to get it from? 2) Which is better kernel or user PPP? I would like to configure my home Unix box to act as a proxy server for a couple of PCs (Mac/Win95) so that my family doesn't need to dial out manually. This would require that the FreeBSD box build/tear-down the Internet connection automatically. This seems like a job for kernel based rather than user based but I would like a professional opinion before I invest a few days on this project. Thanks! David G.

I use FreeBSD, a decendant of the Berkely Unix developed to run on big systems. It is powerful, stable, and has a more coherent development plan. It is fully supported by the development team and a list of volunteers on several mailing lists. If I were still in the computer business, it would be my choice. It is not a moving target like Linux' "committee" idea makes it.

However, there are other, and in my opinion, better options than Linux. I use FreeBSD (www.FreeBSD.org), a decendant of the Berkeley Unix. I beleive it to be more stable than Linux since Linux suffers from one of Microsoft's major flaws: trying to be everything to all. Linux also relies on development to come from several directions. Not a good thing - especially on a system you may make your living with. FreeBSD has a dedicated development team and a large group of volunteers who man the mailing lists, responding in their areas of expertise. The best news is that it is free. Or yu can purchase it from several major book chains for less than a Windows upgrade, with an excellent book by Greg Lehey , "The Complete FreeBSD". If you have questions, let us know!

If not where is the best site to get it from? I personnaly like the latest and greatest kde. I would install it this way. The best way to install the latest port of KDE is too grab the port from the FreeBSD website or ftp site. Put the port in /usr/ports/x11/kde. Cd to /usr/ports/x11/kde. Then do 'make'. When you type 'make' the latest and bestest tarfiles will be fetched, patched, and built for you. Then do 'make install' to finish the job. I believe the tarfile is fetched from a kde.org server but I am not sure. Have fun, | Stop warning me about the latest virus. Learn more...

Bull's Eye Gold is the PREMIER email address collection tool. This program allows you to develop TARGETED lists of email addresses. Doctors, florists, MLM, biz opp,...you can collect anything...you are only limited by your imagination! You can even collect email addresses for specific states, cities, and even countries! All you need is your web browser and this program. Our software utilizes the latest in search technology called "spidering". By simply feeding the spider program a starting website it will collect for hours. The spider will go from website to targeted website providing you with thousands upon thousands of fresh TARGETED email addresses. When you are done collecting, the spider removes duplicates and saves the email list in a ready to send format. No longer is it necessary to send millions of ads to get a handful of responses...SEND LESS...EARN MORE!!! A terrific aspect of the Bull's Eye software is that there is no difficult set up involved and no special technical mumbo-jumbo to learn. All you need to know is how to search for your targeted market in one of the many search engines and let the spider do the rest! Not familiar with the search engines? No problem, we provide you with a list of all the top search engines. Just surf to the location of a search engine on your browser then search for the market you wish to reach...it's that easy! For instance if you were looking for email addresses of Doctors in New York all you would do is: 1) Do a search using your favorite search engine by typing in the words doctor(s) and New York 2) Copy the URL (one or more)...that's the stuff after the http://... for instance it might look like http://www.yahoo.com/?doctor(s)/?New+York 3) Press the START button THAT's IT!!! The Bull's Eye spider will go to all the websites that are linked, automatically extracting the email addresses you want. The spider is passive too! That means you can let it run all day or all night while you are working on important things or just having fun on your computer. There is no need to keep a constant watch on it, just feed it your target market and give it praise when it delivers thousands of email addresses at the end of the day! Features of the Bull's Eye Software: * Does TARGETED searches of websites collecting the email addresses you want! * Collects Email addresses by City, State, even specific Countries * Runs Automatically...simply enter the Starting information, press The Start Button, and it does the rest * Filters out duplicates * Keeps track of URLs already visited * Can run 24 hours per day, 7 days per week * Fast and Easy List Management * Also has built in filtering options...you can put in words that it "Must" have while searching,...you can even put in criteria that it "Must NOT Have"...giving you added flexibility * Also imports email addresses from any kind of files (text files, binary files, database files) * List editor handles Multiple files to work on many lists simultaneously * Has a Black-Book feature... avoid sending emails to people who do not want to receive it * Built-in Mail program...send email directly on the internet with just a click of your mouse * Personalized Emails...if the email address has the user's name when it is collected,..you can send Personalized emails!!! * Sort by Location, Server, User Name, Contact Name * Advanced Operations: · Email address lists export in many different formats (HTML, Comma delimited, text file) · Advanced editing...Transfer, Copy, Addition, Delete, Crop, Move to Top/Bottom · Operations between lists...Union, Subtraction, Comparison * Program is Passive,...meaning you can run other programs at the same time CALL FOR MORE INFORMATION 213-980-7850 CALL FOR MORE INFORMATION 213-980-7850 ORDERING INFORMATION Customer Name Company Name Address City State Zip Phone Fax Email Address ______ BULL'S EYE SOFTWARE $259.00 Includes Software, Instructions, Technical Support ______ Shipping & Handling (2-3 Day Fedex) $10.00 (Fedex Overnite) $20.00 ______ TOTAL (CA Residents add applicable sales tax) *All orders are for Win 95 and Win NT *****CREDIT CARDS ACCEPTED***** MASTERCARD VISA AMEX PLEASE CALL 213-980-7850 to process your order 9am-5pm Pacific Time Checks or Money Orders send to: WorldTouch Network Inc. 5670 Wilshire Blvd. Suite 2170 Los Angeles, CA 90036 Please note: Allow 5 business days for all checks to clear before order is shipped.

The brain storming has begun and many ideas or already on the table.. So far the FreeBSD core team has been relatively silent. It would be better when the input starts to flow from those folks too. I am sure they have been down this road before, and will have much to contribute. Without them this could appear as a "native" uprising.

We've got sendmail. :) If we won't, there will always be presence of Windows on every desktop, proprietary fromats everywhere and therefore constant threat of complete Windows takeover even if the number of FreeBSD installations will increase hundreds of times. There should be a way to do all work without Microsoft products, and that means even a desktop-only things. Actually originally Linux-only desktop projects may be of significant help to FreeBSD even if they won't run on it and will only come with, say, Red Hat (worst scenario) -- that can bring people _somewhere_ outside of "buy Microsoft" captivity, and everything but yet another proprietary thing will be better. I can loudly declare "I am not accepting Word and Excel files in my email, and everyone whose email I won't see because of those formats can blame himself", and happily work in Unix-only environment, however a lot of people can't do the same thing, and it will be nice to help them. -- Alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Apr 10 21:49:32 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id VAA12770 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Fri, 10 Apr 1998 21:49:32 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from ix.netcom.com (sil-wa2-23.ix.netcom.com [206.214.137.55]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id VAA12641 for ; Fri, 10 Apr 1998 21:49:20 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from tomdean@ix.netcom.com) Received: (from tomdean@localhost) by ix.netcom.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) id VAA03972; Fri, 10 Apr 1998 21:48:43 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from tomdean) Date: Fri, 10 Apr 1998 21:48:43 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199804110448.VAA03972@ix.netcom.com> From: Thomas Dean To: jcwells@u.washington.edu CC: questions@FreeBSD.ORG, info@cdrom.com In-reply-to: (jcwells@u.washington.edu) Subject: Re: Walnut Creek WWW Page.

Hm, time for plan C. Make an install boot floppy and fixit floppy (or CD), then boot the boot floppy and select `Fixit' from the menu. You should get a shell after that -- mount your root partition on /mnt and fix /mnt/etc/ttys to disable secure mode on the console.

This will be the only message I send to these lists--please respect the Reply-To: header and follow up either to chat@FreeBSD.org or supporters@nanyang-computer.com. One of the points raised in the recent flurry of messages about more visibility for FreeBSD is the question of support. We've discussed this at length before, but somehow the discussions gradually sickered away and we were no closer to a solution. A company I do a lot of work for, Nan Yang Computer Services Ltd., is interested in providing commercial support for FreeBSD. They're a *very* low-profile company in England, and they'll expect to be involved mainly in the billing. This means that the people they're looking for have to do just about everything else themselves, more like consultants than employees. With this background, I'd like to solicit discussion on the subject. I've set up a mailing list supporters@nanyang-computer.com. Sign up in the traditional manner: send mail to majordomo@nanyang-computer.com with the text 'subscribe supporters' in the message body. My intention at this stage is to discuss to following topics: 1. How to set up a world-wide commercial support organization for FreeBSD. One of the things that I expect to be of great advantage is that the people involved will be accessible via the Internet, so it should be possible to provide 24x7 coverage. In keeping with Nan Yang's low-key image, I don't envisage any commercial premises for the support people: they will all be located wherever it suits them. 2. What support to offer. The obvious choices are: - first-level user support ("how do I attach an image to a mail reply?") - defect support ("My machine just said "panic: not enough foos" and rebooted. What do I do?"). - programming support ("I've just updated my Yoyodyne frobulator to the new, improved YYD-64. Can you write a driver for me, please?") - Education. This is by no means an exhaustive list. 3. What to charge. 4. How to sell the concept to potential customers. I've copied -questions and -newbies on this message. I don't expect many of the people on those lists to want to join in, but you could be concerned that this might mean the end of free support on the -questions list. I don't think you need to be worried. I suspect it *will* change things on the list, but I don't see any reason to expect that it will make things worse. I'd prefer that as much of the discussion as possible happens on supporters@nanyang-computer.com (it's a no-obligation signup :-). If, for some reason, you don't want to do that, please follow up in FreeBSD-chat.

The reason that the core group is so quiet may be that the ideas recently flowing take _real_ sweat. A guaranteed committment off time (blood, sweat, and tears?).

Two of the titles I own and would recommend be placed on the must read list along with Greg's book. BTW, Greg's book is listed as back ordered and has been for the past several weeks. They are: Berkeley UNIX; A Simple and Comprehensive Guide, by James Wilson. This is a textbook used a Stanford University. Cost $25.00 US An Introduction To Berkeley UNIX and ANSI C, by Jack Hodges. Cost aboy $37.00 US Both titles cover basic commands and shell programming. Lastly a book that I picked at the University of Wisconsin bookstore. A Practical Guide To the UNIX System by Mark G. Sobell. This one covers Berkeley Software Distribution 4.3BSD. Has lot of depth on commands, files system etc. The point is that there are commercial publications out there, not in near the numbers devoted to Linux, but in my opinion of better quality. BTW, amazon.com allows others to sell for them through web site links and retain a share of the profits. Maybe an idea for the FreeBSD group to look into and provide easy access to publications that cover our beloved OS.

There should be a way to do all work without Microsoft We need Word & Excel or clones there of. Speaking as an old time computer seller. You must be able to do what the other guy does without scaring the user. Or, you won't get convert one. That means word processing, spread sheets, fax, and database. I do not mean big stuff either. Bullet proof, easy to use - intuitive interface and clean looking. The only reason I have so many PCs on a LAN at my house (its just a rumor that I have one in the bathroom...) is that my father, a machinery broker, throws one into a box every year or so and ships it to me then gets a new one. Why? With windoze it gets so full of ka ka ("updates/good deals") that it quits. The one he has now simply hangs up the fax line - MID FAX! No one can tell him why. All he wants to do is get and send faxes, write quotes, and keep a list of customers - which he does in Word - its easier than the database manager. I take his non working system, scrub the disk clean, load FreeBSD, runs like a charm and faster. One problem, software learning curve prevents me from shipping it back to him. Get that one solved and we win. My two cents for the night.

These are parts of the new boot blocks built for 2.2.5. /boot.help is a file displayed before the boot: prompt, and /boot.config is a file that lists the default disk to boot from (i.e., "wd(0,a)/kernel").

Hmm.. Ok... I see what the problem is: it has something to do with nfs. my home directory is mounted over nfs from a sparc/solaris box. when it creates ~/.kde/share/apps/kfm/kfm_0.0 over nfs, it's a FIFO, but if I make the kfm directory a link to a local filesyste, it (correctly) makes a socket... and everything works ok. Anyone know more about why this might be/other work-arounds besides making the tmp a link?. uname -s -r => FreeBSD 2.2.6-STABLE -- Steve Farrell To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Apr 10 23:13:53 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id XAA07562 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Fri, 10 Apr 1998 23:13:53 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id XAA07533 for ; Fri, 10 Apr 1998 23:13:35 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.7/8.8.8) with SMTP id XAA28596; Fri, 10 Apr 1998 23:13:22 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Date: Fri, 10 Apr 1998 23:13:22 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White Reply-To: Doug White To: Dustin Andrews cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: adding source to my server.

In this case it'd be easier to just remove /usr/src/sys and reinstall the src/ssys distribution from CD or FTP. Simply run `cd /usr/src; cat /path/to/ssys.* | tar xzf -' to extract. You didn't mention what version of FreeBSD you were running.

This means that the kernel couldn't determine where it was booted from, or where it thinks it was booted from doesn't correspond to reality after probing your disks. What is your IDE disk layout? If you have a CDROM on the primary controller try moving it to the secondary and move a hard disk on the secondary controller to the primary.

How will I fix this problem? What's your disk configuration? This may help: If you get the message: panic: Cannot mount root At the end of the probe sequence you should either: 1. Have the line: config kernel root on wd2 in your kernel config, OR: 2. Rename the second disk to wd1 in the kernel config (comment out the original wd1 line and change the wd2 line to read wd1, leaving all other parameters unchanged).

You need the ssys.* files in the src/ directory for your release on the CD or FTP site. If you have the CD and can mount it, running `cd /cdrom/src; ./install.sh sys' is the easy way. Otherwise run `cd /usr/src; cat /path/to/ssys.* | tar xzf -'.

Hm, this would imply that the installation failed or went to a different destination than what you were expecting. Try running `?' from the Boot: prompt and see what you get; you should get a listing of files in the root directory, and one of them may be called kernel.GENERIC. > The current boot default is 0:wd(0,a)kernel and i have tried every > combination that i know of thinking that the kernel maybe on a different > partition.

Fix: There are three possible fixes: 1. The easiest fix is to simply install the des distribution with /stand/sysinstall, remembering to pick a site that will allow you to export it if you're outside the United States and Canada (ftp.freebsd.org and ftp.internat.freebsd.org both fall into this category). 2. Purely as a work-around, and what you may need to do if ppp also constitutes your only way of getting to the net, is to simply do the following (as root): cp /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2.0 /usr/lib/libdes.so.3.0 ldconfig -m /usr/lib 3. Another fix, and one which doesn't involve having to fetch the DES bits, is to install the ppp sources in /usr/src/usr.sbin/ppp and rebuild them. The sources are "smart" enough to know that the DES library isn't on the system and won't create a binary which depends on it. NOTE: If you choose the 2nd or 3rd fixes, you also will not be able to use MSCHAP (Microsoft Win*) style authentication. > Thanks in advance, > James. -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....

There's a man page. You can use the files in /usr/X11R6/include/X11/bitmaps to set a root background with the -bitmap option. Try: $ xsetroot -bitmap /usr/X11R6/include/X11/bitmaps/mensetmanus Obviously there are others, too.

I've been using it for years for that reason. Unfortunately, it's been getting more and more expensive in that configuration. Once it came free with BSD/386. Then it cost $10 more for multi-head. Then it cost 2*$40 "special offer", including $40 for software I already had, and which I didn't get refunded. Now I discover that it would cost me $375 to upgrade to the newest version. XiG isn't perfect. I've decided the price is too high for the difference from XFree86, like I decided some time ago that BSD/OS was too expensive for the difference from FreeBSD. A propos configuration: yes, it's a sort of menu-driven thing. The real problem with configuring X isn't running the configuration system, which is acceptable (but not much more) on either product.

Linux ist using pppd on the peer side as well at least in the mode my students were using it (ppp-on script). My Win95 and FreeBSD users had no problems dialing in but Linux was a nogo for weeks now. Today I took a major effort to track that down and found out that the linux side as it was set up didn't get the FreeBSD server side into the ppp section of getty, that meant, the pppd state machine in getty didn't fire. I changed the respective logins such that they got ppplogin.sh immediately as their login shell and that seemed to work (rather than giving them a non-existent /pppok and letting getty do the execle'ing og /usr/local/bin/ppplogin.sh At least the ppp connection now seems to work, I'm still fiddling with the DNS and gateway information to be passed correctly. I wonder though what exactly the problem is or how I can make the linux side to send the ppp control characters immediately after login so that getty becomes aware of them. -- Chris Christoph P. U.

I was confused about this, but settled with the pppd solution. Yesterday I wanted to run Speak Freely, and again I got this libdes message. This was with a package install. I tried to install as a port instead, but the executables (sfspeaker, sfmike etc.) did immidiate core dumps, so I went back to the package install... of course they still terminated with the libdes message. My system is FreeBSD-2.2.6. I installed Speak Freely on another system, also running 2.2.6, but here it works without giving me the libdes error message, which really confuses me. Both systems does not have libdes installed, since some of the programs I'm running on them depend on MD5. I have been running ppp on 2.2, 2.2.1, 2.2.2 and 2.2.5 without any problems. So I conclude there is some kind of weirdness in 2.2.6 that causes these problems. I cannot see why ppp or Speak Freely should break because of these missing (and unneeded) crypto libraries. Per suggestion from ERRATA.TXT I tried work-around no 2 ( symbolic link to libcrypt.so.2.0) which resulted in core dumps again for Speak Freely. Any insight or suggestions?

Then, write a script that takes input from a form, and converts that into a call to the first program. This, however, is still insecure. Thanks!

Fix: There are three possible fixes: 1. The easiest fix is to simply install the des distribution with /stand/sysinstall, remembering to pick a site that will allow you to export it if you're outside the United States and Canada (ftp.freebsd.org and ftp.internat.freebsd.org both fall into this category). 2. Purely as a work-around, and what you may need to do if ppp also constitutes your only way of getting to the net, is to simply do the following (as root): cp /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2.0 /usr/lib/libdes.so.3.0 ldconfig -m /usr/lib 3. Another fix, and one which doesn't involve having to fetch the DES bits, is to install the ppp sources in /usr/src/usr.sbin/ppp and rebuild them. The sources are "smart" enough to know that the DES library isn't on the system and won't create a binary which depends on it. NOTE: If you choose the 2nd or 3rd fixes, you also will not be able to use MSCHAP (Microsoft Win*) style authentication. > I get what to me seems almost randomly this message: > > Can't find shared library "libdes.so.3.0" [.....] > Thanks, > Soren -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....

The installation went very smoothly, as well ass the setup of X and everything else. The only problem we have yet to solve is how to establish a PPP connection. I've printed all the pages in the FAQ and handbook pertaining to the subject, but I still can't seem to get it to work. I'm unsure of the exact modem it is (I can find out if you need it) but I know that it is a Modem/Sound Card combonation. In windows95 it runs on COM3 and COM4. In freebsd i know that the corresponding ports for COM3 and 4 is /dev/cuaa2 and /dev/cuaa3 but for somer reason the script won't work with either. When I try to run the script it says "/dev/cuaa2 not configured" and "/dev/cuaa3 not configured" In fact it does that with cuaa1 - cuaa4 for some odd reason cuaa0 will let the script run, but the modem doesn't dial or anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Chris Ps- Using XFree86 and the Mac64 server how do I start X in 16bpp? It always boots in 8 bpp. C To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Apr 11 15:33:06 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id PAA22528 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sat, 11 Apr 1998 15:33:06 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from mail.ahnet.net (mail2.ahnet.net [207.213.224.24]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id PAA22514 for ; Sat, 11 Apr 1998 15:32:50 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from webmaster@zwb.net) Received: from znet-pdcs (icg-apc-pr1-p18.apc.net [207.211.76.172]) by mail.ahnet.net (8.8.7/8.8.6) with SMTP id PAA24733 for ; Sat, 11 Apr 1998 15:24:29 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <3.0.5.32.19980411152747.0093e8e0@207.213.224.25> X-Sender: 5808.dima@207.213.224.25 X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Light Version 3.0.5 (32) Date: Sat, 11 Apr 1998 15:27:47 -0700 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: Dima Dorfman Subject: Installing Procmail Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Installing Procmail Date: Sat, 11 Apr 1998 14:34:33 -0700 (PDT) From: Dima Dorfman To: dima@znt.dyn.ml.org Hi: (I hope I'm sending this to the right place) I'm having trouble installing procmail. I want it to be my default local mailer, but it doesn't seem to be happening. I copied all the files from the packages to /usr/local/sbin (other than the man pages, and the readmes), and I've changed my sendmail.cf(see below) to point to procmail instead of the default local mailer. I'm still receiving my mail, but I don't think it's going through procmail. In the man page, it says there should be some procmailrc files, but procmail doesn't complain that it can't find them, and doesn't seem to create them. Any help would be appreciated! Dima --- Thanks!

In this case, yes. thousands if not millions of people have installed FreeBSD successfully without incident.

I'm trying to install from a set of floppies I made of the bin directory. When I clicked on the files 'checksum.md5', 'install.sh', and 'bin.mtree', (at ftp://www.freebsd.org) they opened up in the browser directly, as text. So I chose 'save as file...' from the File menu in Internet Explorer, and saved them as text files, renamed them with the proper extensions... Is this correct? Also, I can't open bin.au - it gives me an error message saying that the sound file can't be played.... Now, I get through the installation process up to the Media menu and select 'install from floppies', at which point it prompts me to insert a floppy in a:. So I insert the floppy that contains checksum.md5 and bin.aa through bin.af, hit return, and get the following.... Message: Couldn't extract the following distributions. This may be because they were not available on the installation media you've chosen. bin doc manpages problibs dict info ports 100% What do I do??? : ( To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Apr 11 19:15:36 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id TAA24684 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sat, 11 Apr 1998 19:15:36 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from UPIMSSMTPUSR04 (smtp.email.msn.com [207.68.143.160]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id TAA24663 for ; Sat, 11 Apr 1998 19:15:05 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from souldivide@email.msn.com) Received: from risc-proc - 153.36.83.235 by email.msn.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Sat, 11 Apr 1998 19:14:31 -0700 From: "SoulDivide" To: Subject: Installing FreeBSD from MS-DOS partition formatted w/ FAT32 possible?

Brierley" To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Question about using an alternative keyboard Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I am attempting to use the keyboard from an NCD X terminal on my PC running FreeBSD-2.2.5 and XFree86. My first question is, has anybody ever done this before and can you tell me what you did to make it work? If you have never attempted this particular keyboard but perhaps have done this with some other non-standard keyboard that information would also be helpful because it would certainly point me in the right direction. What I have done so far is to attempt to determine what the keyboard scancode values are for the NCD keyboard and to build a keymap file for use with the syscons keyboard driver. This part seems to be progressing quite nicely although there are still a few keys on the keyboard that I can't seem to access correctly. In particular, the F5 key and the "4" key seem to produce the same scancode! If I attempt to move beyond that and start up X/11, things seem to get really strange. I think I need to modify (or create new) files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb but I'm not sure exactly which files to modify and I can't seem to find any really clear documentation on the contents of the files or how they are used. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. I would really like to use this keyboard because the layout is almost identical to the Sun type-5 keyboard that I use at work all day and this way my daytime keyboard and my evening keyboard would have the same layout. However, I want to make sure it is going to work correctly before I spend the money to buy it. -- David H.

When cc1 is executed however, it goes back to /usr/libexec/cc1, which is associated with /usr/bin/cc. I noticed that the top-level Makefile of /usr/src defines GCC_EXEC_PREFIX and COMPILER_PATH variables. I tried playing with these but could not get the desired behavior. I just wanted to try out the -mpentiumpro flag with egcs which probably won't help much anyway, it was just an experiment.

It's short for "duplicate". It's telling you that two machines are replying to the ping. Assuming you haven't changed anything else in the example, n41.cs32a.value.net (206.14.149.41) is misconfigured and is answering to ICMP messages which have nothing to do with it. Possibly it has had the address 206.14.149.42 added as an alias.

When cc1 is executed however, it goes back to /usr/libexec/cc1, which is associated with /usr/bin/cc. I noticed that the top-level Makefile of /usr/src defines GCC_EXEC_PREFIX and COMPILER_PATH variables. I tried playing with these but could not get the desired behavior. I just wanted to try out the -mpentiumpro flag with egcs which probably won't help much anyway, it was just an experiment.

If you noticed, there is a file named 'bin.at' before 'bin.au' and a file 'bin.av' after 'bin.au'. 'Bin.au' is just a file in a series of files. These files are NOT ment to be "clicked on" in windows. Doing so will yield you nothing. Do not rename files with an extension. To save the files without them opening up in your browser windows, right click over the link, then choose "save as". I am guessing that you should re-dowload all of the files, but I might be wrong on this. > Now, I get through the installation process up to the Media menu and select > 'install from floppies', at which point it prompts me to insert a floppy in > a:.

Note that the distributions must be in a directory on the floppy. Also, you have chosen a seriously large portion of the OS to install from floppies. It could take you a long time. I recommend that you do a network installation or a CDROM installation if you can spring $40 for the disc and the book. The first paragraph of the instructions claims that floppy install is the hard way for a reason. Even installing a minimal portion of the OS can take 50 floppies. Uggh.

I'm sure when they said "any way you want", they meant "any way that works". In particular, though, you can't assign another name without first registering it. Well, you can, but it won't work. Any I suspect that you might have set your broadcast address on IP 41 incorrectly. If that's your block, your broadcast address should be 206.14.149.63, and your net mask should be 255.255.255.192. Is that what you have?

I am attempting to install FreeBSD 2.2.5 on a clean ide hard drive, and have noticed that I cannot get any X server installed! During the installation, either full install or X-User distribution, the directory /usr/X11R6 does not get created at all, which is concerning. I have repartitioned and reloaded ALL distributions, and X refuses to load. I have tried to manually install XF86332 (from the CD installation disk), and the postinst.sh script fails to run completely, failing at ldconfig line. I have also tried to copy all the *tgz's locally, and run gzip -dc * | tar -xvf - and this unpacks all the files. When running XF86Setup, it will complete the configuration (of an S3 86C775 card), but it fails to run xinit and create a link to the server, x --> XF86_S3 I have tried to upgrade the XF86332 server, but this did not help the above situation. Is it possible that I have a bad install CD since it is refusing to load the X1R6 at all? The system is a home built Intel P200Mhz 64MB RAM, S3 Trio 64V2 PCI, Fujitsu 4.3GB ide cdrom, with a generic Shamrock 15" monitor. The FreeBSD was purchased from Walnut Creek mail order. It is 2.2.5 November 1997 release. Thank you for your help. This is the first time I am trying to get support for FreeBSD, and I am not sure where to direct this question. Thank you!

Bull's Eye Gold is the PREMIER email address collection tool. This program allows you to develop TARGETED lists of email addresses. Doctors, florists, MLM, biz opp,...you can collect anything...you are only limited by your imagination! You can even collect email addresses for specific states, cities, and even countries! All you need is your web browser and this program. Our software utilizes the latest in search technology called "spidering". By simply feeding the spider program a starting website it will collect for hours. The spider will go from website to targeted website providing you with thousands upon thousands of fresh TARGETED email addresses. When you are done collecting, the spider removes duplicates and saves the email list in a ready to send format. No longer is it necessary to send millions of ads to get a handful of responses...SEND LESS...EARN MORE!!! A terrific aspect of the Bull's Eye software is that there is no difficult set up involved and no special technical mumbo-jumbo to learn. All you need to know is how to search for your targeted market in one of the many search engines and let the spider do the rest! Not familiar with the search engines? No problem, we provide you with a list of all the top search engines. Just surf to the location of a search engine on your browser then search for the market you wish to reach...it's that easy! For instance if you were looking for email addresses of Doctors in New York all you would do is: 1) Do a search using your favorite search engine by typing in the words doctor(s) and New York 2) Copy the URL (one or more)...that's the stuff after the http://... for instance it might look like http://www.yahoo.com/?doctor(s)/?New+York 3) Press the START button THAT's IT!!! The Bull's Eye spider will go to all the websites that are linked, automatically extracting the email addresses you want. The spider is passive too! That means you can let it run all day or all night while you are working on important things or just having fun on your computer.

Try that and see if it works. If the display does anything flakey or the monitor startx to make noise kill the xserver or shut off the monitor. This is a sigh of misconfiguration and could damage the tube. Create the link and start the server with startx.

Then I wanna install other packages, (/src/sys), I run /stand/sysinstall and select media from DOS, then it got an error: "Write failure on transfer!(wrote -1 bytes of 1024 bytes)" What's going on?

Luigi Rizzo has SACK/TSACK patches for 2.1.6 at http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/research.html; I have been able to apply them to both 2.2.6 and 3.0 with only a few rejects. In fact, the 2.2.6 box I'm typing from still has them in my CVS tree/kernel and they seem to work. I can send you diffs if you want, but I can't guarantee that they _really_ work correctly. I know nothing about the TCP code at all, so I could have broken something trying to merge the rejected bits in. It looks like there is/was another implementation of SACK onto 2.1.6; http://irl.cs.ucla.edu/sack.html says that part of its testbed was 2.1.6 machines. You might want to check out the Yahoo section [ Computers and Internet / Information and Documentation / Protocols / TCP/IP / TCP Selective Acknowledgment (SACK) ] for more info. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Apr 11 23:47:51 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id XAA29121 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sat, 11 Apr 1998 23:47:51 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from imo13.mx.aol.com (imo13.mx.aol.com [198.81.17.35]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id XAA29106 for ; Sat, 11 Apr 1998 23:47:46 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from Shushubabe@aol.com) Received: from Shushubabe@aol.com by imo13.mx.aol.com (IMOv13.ems) id HHYMa02392 for ; Sun, 12 Apr 1998 02:47:08 -0500 (EDT) From: Shushubabe Message-ID: <3ab4f99c.3530636e@aol.com> Date: Sun, 12 Apr 1998 02:47:08 EDT To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mime-Version: 1.0 Subject: Help!!!!
