My question pertains to pinging my local system prior to the ppp connection. My understanding is that prior to making any type of network connection (through serial port, parallel port or NIC) that I should be able to ping my local system through the "localhost" or the local system name "vernon". This should all take place through the loopback driver lo0. My current configuration allows me to ping via "localhost", however when I ping "vernon" there is no response. After I establish a ppp connection I can ping "localhost", "vernon" and "public" without any problem. I have attached copies of the files (or command output) related to my system. ======= /etc files ======= -------------------------------- ( hosts ) ------------------------------------ 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost 202.96.2.107 vernon ppp.vernon.priv.public.bta.net.cn 202.96.0.133 public public.bta.net.cn ------------------------------- ( myname ) ---------------------------------- vernon ---------------------------------- ( rc ) ------------------------------------- (partial listing only) # set hostname, turn on network echo 'starting network' . /etc/netstart ------------------------------- ( netstart ) ---------------------------------- #!/bin/sh - # # $Id: netstart,v 1.17 1994/11/07 04:02:25 phk Exp $ # From: @(#)netstart 5.9 (Berkeley) 3/30/91 defaultrouter=NO routedflags=-q timedflags=NO xntpdflags="NO" ntpdate="NO" rwhod=NO sendmail_flags="-bd -q30m" amdflags="NO" nfs_client=NO nfs_server=NO name_server=NO savecore=NO #kerberos_server=YES #gated=YES # my-name is my symbolic name # my-netmask is specified in /etc/networks # if [ -z "`hostname -s`" ] ; then hostname=`cat /etc/myname` /bin/hostname $hostname fi for i in /etc/hostname.* do ifn=`expr $i : '/etc/hostname\.\(.*\)'` if [ -e /etc/hostname.$ifn ]; then if [ -e /etc/start_if.$ifn ]; then sh /etc/start_if.$ifn $ifn fi ifconfig $ifn `cat /etc/hostname.$ifn` ifconfig $ifn fi done # set the address for the loopback interface ifconfig lo0 inet localhost # set interface for multicasts to default interface # this needs to happen before router discovery #route add 224.0.0.0 -netmask 0xf0000000 -interface $hostname if [ -n "$defaultrouter" -a "x$defaultrouter" != "xNO" ] ; then route add default $defaultrouter elif [ -f /etc/defaultrouter ] ; then route add default `cat /etc/defaultrouter` fi # use loopback, not the wire route add $hostname localhost ----------------------------- ( netstat -r ) ---------------------------------- execution before running pppstart "vernon" should use localhost and the loopback driver lo0 but does not respond to ping. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Interface localhost localhost UH 1 33 lo0 vernon localhost UGHS 0 0 lo0 ----------------------------- ( pppstart ) ------------------------------------ #!/bin/sh pid=`ps -ax | grep pppd | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1;}'` if [ "${pid}" != "" ] then echo 'killing pppd, PID=' ${pid} kill ${pid} fi pid=`ps -ax | grep kermit | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1;}'` if [ "${pid}" != "" ] then echo 'killing kermit, PID=' ${pid} kill -9 ${pid} fi ifconfig ppp0 down ifconfig ppp0 delete kermit -y /etc/ppp/kermit.dial ----------------------------- ( start ppp ) ----------------------------------- pppd /dev/tty00 9600 & ----------------------------- ( netstat -r ) ---------------------------------- execution after pppstart starts ppp can now ping "localhost", "vernon" and "public" and all respond properly ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Interface default public UG 0 0 ppp0 localhost localhost UH 1 32 lo0 public vernon UH 1 0 ppp0 vernon localhost UGHS 0 0 lo0 ===================================================================== Any help with this problem would be appreciated. My plan is to do some playing with TCP/IP programming in client/server mode, which requires I can connect locally with other concurrent processes. ===================================================================== One additional item (hope this is the right forum). The PPP documentation includes several shell script/kermit script files that assist in setting up a ppp connection with another machine. I found two problems when I tryed to implement these scripts on my system. 1) The kermit.dial script is called from a shell script, however it is set up to call the exit command to exit kermit. This causes the modem on my PC to hang up. I think the intent is to suspend kermit and that this command should be changed to the "Z" command that suspends kermit. 2) When kermit suspends or exits, shell script execuition discontinues. A new shell is spawned? when suspend takes place, so the final command in the pppdial shell script (pppd [device] [speed] &) needs to be executed at the command line outside of the shell script.

NFS is used to mount disks from other machines over the network, not to mount disks local to your machine. You do not need to call the mount_nfs command ever. Just plain "mount" should do. `man mount' for more details. > I have a funny feeling I do not have /etc/fstab set up properly. What > other config files must be edited before I can share a directory via > nfs? Can anyone send me an example of a working /etc/fstab. Thanx If you want to export a directory on your machine to be shared by others on the network, then you need to edit the /etc/exports file. `man 5 exports' on the file format. For example: /usr/local/sharedstuff -ro foo,bar ... will export the directory /usr/local/sharedstuff on your machine to the machines foo and bar. It is shared as a read-only filesystem, so nobody on foo or bar (including root) will be able to modify it. The man page goes through other options you can use. In order for your machine to service these mount requests, it needs to be running /sbin/mountd. You also need to run /sbin/nfsd (the NFS server daemon) to allow others to read data off your exported directories. Of course, you must be root to do any of this. The /etc/sysconfig file has a couple of lines that let you specify whether you want your machine to be an NFS client or NFS server (or both). Set these to YES/NO as appropriate so that the mountd/nfsd daemons are automatically restarted the next time you reboot. The /etc/fstab file contains a list of filesystems to mount on startup, including NFS ones (assuming they have already been exported by the server). Mine looks like this: /dev/sd0a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/sd0s1e /usr ufs rw 1 1 /dev/sd0s1b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sd0s1f /scratch ufs rw 1 1 scorpio:/home/.1 /home/.1 nfs rw,intr,soft 0 0 scorpio:/home/.2 /home/.2 nfs rw,intr,soft 0 0 The first four show local disks (because I reference them by their device names in /dev/*). The last two are NFS disks, both mounted from a machine called "scorpio". The filesystems are called "/home/.1" and "/home/.2" on scorpio, and I happen to be mounting them at the same location on my machine (you don't have to do this). The third column indicates they are NFS drives, and the fourth and fifth columns specify various mount options. The mount_nfs man page lists all the options in gory detail. So... /etc/exports is for the NFS *server* to tell it which directories to share (export), while /etc/fstab is for all machines and may contain information on which NFS directories to mount (import). -- Brian ("Though this be madness, yet there is method in't") Tao taob@gate.sinica.edu.tw <-- work ........ play --> taob@io.org From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Aug 20 04:33:56 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id EAA25295 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 20 Aug 1995 04:33:56 -0700 Received: from aries.ibms.sinica.edu.tw ([140.109.40.248]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id EAA25289 for ; Sun, 20 Aug 1995 04:33:52 -0700 Received: (from taob@localhost) by aries.ibms.sinica.edu.tw (8.6.11/8.6.9) id TAA27543; Sun, 20 Aug 1995 19:33:36 +0800 Date: Sun, 20 Aug 1995 19:33:36 +0800 (CST) From: Brian Tao To: Jeff Wilson cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: FreeBSD on Thinkpad 360CE In-Reply-To: <9508161252.AA28784@belgium.fishkill.ibm.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk On Wed, 16 Aug 1995, Jeff Wilson wrote: > > I want to thank everyone who helped with this problem.

The easy way out is to simply name your interfaces by IP address in your /etc/hosts file, and make sure the "hosts" option comes before "bind" in /etc/resolv.conf.

Well, I'm still in Taiwan at the moment, my personal mirror of the 950726 snapshot is here with me, Jim Mercer (who is in Toronto) has my live filesystem 2.0.5 CD-ROM and Vince Yin (who is in Ottawa) has my 2.0.5 install CD-ROM.

Start looking in /pub/systems/FreeBSD. The 2.1.0-950726-SNAP directory contains the latest release. I think I'll offer a service at IO where any user can come down with their PC in tow, we'll drop in an Ethernet card and help you do the installation via NFS for a small fee.

In 2.0.5 you can edit (if not done in the installation dialog) /etc/sysconfig and enable nfsserver=YES, nfsclient=YES and things should be set up automatically. Don't forget to edit /etc/exports to contain the filesystems you want to export and if you want to mount any other nfs servers put that mount into /etc/fstab like: host:/usr/local /usr/local nfs rw,bg > > Jeff > > > > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= > - Jeffrey D.

I've been trying unsuccessfully for a couple of weeks now to install FreeBSD from the Walnut Creek CD-ROM 2-disk set I purchased at Comdex '95 (Canada). The documentation claims that the Mitsumi is one of the supported CD-ROM drives, but every time I try the install, I get a "No valid CD-ROM drive found" error. I have a feeling this is due to the fact that the CD-ROM drive runs off of my SoundBlaster 16, and since the SB16 is not being initialized during the installation, thus the drive is not being found. When I boot up under DOS and run the install program, it recognizes the drive, but as soon as the system does a reboot and installs the FreeBSD boot sector to complete the installation, it looses the CD-ROM drive. Is there any way around this problem, such as a driver I can load from a boot disk to get the system to install from CD?????? Any help you can offer on this problem, would be greatly appreciated.

It provides internet connectivity, mail, and news to over 400 sites using a couple of FreeBSD systems. As with many other providers, the explosive growth in demand regularly exposes performance bottlenecks which are then dealt with reactively by hardware expansion or software reconfiguration. I am interested in monitoring the systems so that we can react more quickly to problems, preferably by predicting and avoiding them before they affect service. I would love to be told that a suitable package exists and is available at URL:ftp.whatever, but in case none exists I would like to start a discussion by setting out my idea of what would be useful. Comments are very welcome, including any that point out some completely different approach which may not have occurred to me. First off, I am looking for something that continually gathers statistics for later analysis. Tools such as top, systat, and the recently announced xperfmon++ are oriented towards online display of the current situation. I believe we need to look back at the behaviour of the system over recent 24hr periods and also look at trends over preceding weeks and months. I have been experimenting with vmstat and iostat, starting them with cron at midnight and collecting samples every minute through to the next midnight. The results are then mangled by a perl script to produce input for a graphical display program (e.g. xmgr, xvgr or gnuplot). This gives a good overview of how the system has been performing for those variables that are provided by the two programs. There are some problems with this approach however. The output formats of vmstat and iostat are still more oriented towards display than programmed interpretation. Indeed, the vmstat in FreeBSD 2 [sccsid vmstat.c 8.1 (Berkeley) 6/6/93] is harder to interpret than that in earlier versions [sccsid vmstat.c 5.31 (Berkeley)]. The printf formats previously included a space between all columns and now don't, so that columns coalesce if a number overflows its expected width. More important, not all statistics gathered by the kernel are available via vmstat/iostat and some of the numbers are converted to time-averages, a job I would prefer to handle in a separate analysis. Also, a complete picture of system performance should include network loading. I have not got to grips with running netstat and interpreting its output. What I would like to see is a generalised statistics gathering program, with the potential to sample all the various counters maintained by the system at regular intervals, and that outputs the results in an easily parsable format. The program would be told how many samples to take and how often to take them on the command line (like vmstat). It could also be told which counters to sample (default all) on the command line or in a parameter file. The output file would be in ascii and the lines (following a header) would be space- separated lists of numbers representing the delta of each counter value with respect to the previous sample (delta rather than absolute value to reduce file size). The header would be one line per counter giving its absolute value at the start of sampling and a short name or title describing the variable, with an empty line separating the header from the actual samples. The order of header lines would correspond to the order of columns in the subsequent sample lines. The first counter would typically be "time in seconds since 1970". So, why don't you just go ahead and write the program, Frank? Well, I do not have easy access to a FreeBSD system or to the sources. I have warm and fuzzy feelings towards FreeBSD (and linux), but my home is a PC-free zone, so I just observe from afar. I have ppp access to a shell account on our club's systems, but I don't think it would be appropriate for me to mess with suid- kmem programs on them. Also, people who are intimately familiar with the kernel and io and networking code are better placed to ferret out all the potentially interesting numbers that could be made available. The goal up to here is to provide raw, unadulterated numbers that can be analysed offline, e.g. using perl and gnuplot. Those plots should provide a better basis for deciding whether to buy more memory or a higher bandwidth network connection or whatever. Really keen developers could write code to produce html displays on the fly out of the statistics files.

Just on the net-connection side of things; in conjunction with a local ISP I wrote a simple network-traffic monitoring tool for their gateway machine that tracks who's sending how much where to what services. It requires bpf on the gateway machine, and the postprocessing is crude because it was never finished, but it did produce some enlightening results, and is in fact (amazingly) still in use. If anyone is interested, drop me a mail and ask for 'cantipole' and I'll toss you a copy to tinker with. > Frank Cringle | fdc@cliwe.ping.de -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" -Terry Lambert UNIX: live FreeBSD or die!

If the latter, you won't be able to install from the CD using 2.0.5-RELEASE. You may be able to install if you grab the boot disk from a later -SNAP release, or someone else may be able to help you out with a version with a more recent driver. (Soundblaster and clone boards have different ideas about where to put the CD interface). If you have a _genuine_ Soundblaster, what address is it configured for? The CD is handled by the matcd driver, which searches the usual addresses looking for the CDROM. > Is there any way around this problem, such as a driver I can load > from a boot disk to get the system to install from CD?????? If you just have the CD at a weird address, you can alter the driver's configuration at boot time.

The next line is this: ptdi 1ad063, va f3c00000 Then a '>' on a line by itself, then the boot stops. Looking around a little, I discovered that this message is probably being issued by /usr/src/sys/i386/i386/pmap.c. The problem seems to be an invalid page directory table entry. I'm not really able to troubleshoot this unless it's pretty obvious. Is there a relatively simple fix for this or does this mean that I need go to a newer version of FreeBSD? I was going to wait for the release of 2.1. Thanks.

First off I am using a fictious network 10.0 which works great on my end. And when I connect to my ISP I am able to run everything locally on my BSD box (10.3). But when I have a ppp link attached to my machine (10.50) I am unable to get to anything past my main machine. If I had other machines in the 10.0 network connect I could check that but I don't right now so I am not sure if I am missing something big or just a small thing. Anyway I would like to be able to have 10.50 be able to talk to 204.178.60.5 which is my ISP. I have my own name sever running and that seems to be working good. I added the enable proxy accept proxy to the default of the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file. I also disable proxy and deny proxy on the configuration for my ISP. I even faked out my ISP into giving me 10.3 for my IP address (surprised he hasn't disabled that) but that still didn't make the 10.50 route out.

I have the same problem, Richard Wackerbath helped me through to this point, and I see the problem. Your 10.x.x.x addresses fall in the range of addresses guaranteed not to exist on internet, so none of the machines on the internet can communicate back to you, your address can't exist. I've gone back to my provider (Univ. of Md) for some real numbers to use, maybe you're gonna have to do the same. BTW, make sure your ppp machine is set up in the kernel to be a gateway (via sysctl or a GATEWAY option inthe kernel config file), else your packets from the other machine'll never make it out anyways. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 (Freebsd 2.0.5-snap-0726) and (301) 220-2114 | n3lxx (FreeBSD 2.0.5-snap-0622) -- Great! ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Aug 21 07:20:19 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id HAA21738 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 21 Aug 1995 07:20:19 -0700 Received: from erika.fdata.se (erika.fdata.se [159.72.248.1]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id HAA21715 for ; Mon, 21 Aug 1995 07:20:06 -0700 Received: from erika.fdata.se ([193.241.212.201]) by erika.fdata.se (8.6.9/8.6.9) with SMTP id QAA17730 for ; Mon, 21 Aug 1995 16:30:25 +0200 Date: Mon, 21 Aug 1995 16:30:25 +0200 Message-Id: <199508211430.QAA17730@erika.fdata.se> X-Sender: thek@erika.fdata.se X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Version 1.4.4 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: questions@FreeBSD.org From: thek@erika.fdata.se (Kristofer Pettersson) Subject: Netscape keymapping error Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Dear sirs, Help! :-) Im having problem with my Netscape program.

I mean, everyone I know uses Linux and there are tons of books out there on Linux and from what I've seen Linux comes with more programs than freeBSD. I am not set on using either one in particular, I just want to use the one that is the most versatile, most stable, and preferably the most used since that is the one likely to become a standard. From what little I know it seems that Linux has freeBSD beat, so please tell me what , if anything, makes freeBSD a more logical choice for me.

Umm..now we are not going to have another flame war aren't we... To say the truth i feel that in UNIX world FreeBSD and Linux will live by the same scenario as many other systems live (like Windows and Os/2) For years IBM writing OS/2 , and as much as OS/2 is strange and perverted it's nice system to some degree and for sure it's MUCH better then windows. But... whatever you say and what reasons you find Windows used thousands of times wider, even though Windows is just a crap (and i hope nobody going to argue THAT) and OS/2 is not-such-a-bad-system...

I haven't used Linux much, but those people that prefer standards-driven OS's may say something like "System V has won the battle over Berkeley Unix" and conclude Linux is better. And naturally, if you like System V better.... As far as books go, whoever's willing to do the footwork and push publishing, etc. is going to look better in that regard. There are tons of books on MS Windows, but it has its limitations, and isn't an OS of itself anyway; the bookstores don't generally make the success of the product for the general public. They may lend credibility as to how well it's documented, for those that depend on it. Linux does not necessarily support all the hardware that FreeBSD does and vice-versa. Personally, since I deal with Suns at work a lot, it'd be great to have a free SunOS clone, but for me FreeBSD is close enough. The tradeoffs go on and on. When I get enough money to run 2 or 3 platforms at the house, I may well run both and be in a better position to answer the question objectively 8) Anytime people put the kind of effort that these two parties have in creating an essentially free OS, there'll be differences of opinion. It doesn't cost that much to try both of them, but if you don't have the time, then go with what you (or your colleagues) feel most comfortable with.

Major reasons: FreeBSD is cleaner. There are fewer revisions / patch numbers. The built-in drivers support my hardware. I feel more confident that the 'features' of FreeBSD are not bugs. FreeBSD's heritage means that there are going to be lots of manuals sitting around, that are close to being right. And chances are, you can borrow them. FreeBSD is not a hackfest, it just works. As a native speaker of English, FreeBSD is easier to read than LINUX. The FreeBSD team seems to value 'works great' more than 'Ohh Coool'. Professional UNIX people tend to be more interested in helping with a BSD dirivative, than a strange unknown from Finland. There are fewer people turning out CDs, so there is less confusion about versions. NO LILO! Trivial reasons: It has a cooler logo. No one argues about how to pronounce it. The install process looks better. I can manipulate the install files, ie bin.aa, with my dos tools. (Pkzip for dos.) The 2.0.5 comes with an almost pre-setup httpd.

I am uncertain why tun0 is being selected as the interface via which 10.0.1.30 is reachable. Pings, telnets, etc, to 10.0.1.30 go via ed1 just like they are supposed to. I suspect it has something to do with tun0 being the last interface to be (ifconfiged?, routed via?, who knows?) and thus it is being used as a default in some way. Anyone know what this is happening? Is there are way to specify which interface to use in adding the above route?

Level of support is also very important if you are just beginning. it costs more but is worth it. if there are several co's in your area call them up and compare. if you don't have any clue at all as to what kind of service you want then you need to get a basic book on internet service and read it.

I am *new* to FreeBSD 2.0.5R. I have not been working with UNIX for more than 3 yrs.

Does anyone can give me an example of copy of "sendmail.cf", which works for your site? My LAN is not on the internet, I downloaded the CERN_HTTPD version 3.0 files "WWWDaemon.tar.Z" and "WWWLibrary_2.17.tar.Z". After fixing the uname, I try to compile... and it looks for "libwww.a". Would someone help me to generate the libwww.a? or where I can get the binaries for FreeBSD on Intel platform? I try to setup NIS, and it failed. I look into the "Makefile", it has "yppasswd.master". What is the purpose of the file? How to setup a new server on a FreeBSD Intel system? Thank you for your help. Please mail me the answeres at "tranp@smtplink.mdl.sandia.gov" or "burgms@sandia.gov".

Hey thanks to both of you... I think I was working on the problem a little too much and forgot some things that I read. Besides even if I did have a good IP address I forgot to add the GATEWAY option... Oh well.

It has every possible device that can be put in the kernel, and very nicely commented to answer those questions. BTW, don't try putting all those devices in ! That file is for syntax checking only, and any kernel made from it is 100 percent guaranteed to fail spectacularly. A good starting point is the GENERIC file in the same directory.

I started September 1994 with Linux server having about 2000 user accounts (66MHz 486DX2, 32M RAM, 2G SSCI disk). I has max 30 simultaneous users. I had a lot of problems and had to upgrade the kernel every week trying to find stable one. The problems seemed to be in telnet and inetd and RAM usage/swap. After moving from smail to sendmail and running it standalone, limiting user RAM to 4MB and installing kernel 1.1.88 the system has been stable. I do not know if FreeBSD had been any better one year ago. Does someone know the version of FreeBSD one year ago? This september I will start with a new FreeBSD server. Now P90 + 64MB RAM + 2GB disk. It has shadow passwd and I feel it is more ready for server on many other points also. Some FreeBSD users agree that FreeBSD is more stable. On desktop PC maybe Linux is more atractive than FreeBSD ... I do not know. Some bits: FreeBSD fdisk is really bad. If you add one disk, it is a pain. Linux fdisk is good, it's cfdisk even easier to use. No disklabel needed to edit. Linux NFS server is slow. ... Seppo -- +-- Seppo Kallio ----- kallio@jyu.fi ---+ ! Computing Center !

I currently use a Toshiba 3401, but I understand this drive is not CDI capable. By the way, will the v 1.03 of the talisman software run on FreeBSD 2.0.5R without problems?

I would try doing a make world in /usr/src and see where it stops. Maybe you will have to create some things by hand (like /usr/src/share/dict/eign or /usr/share/dict/eign) but I believe there hadn't been any major kernel structure changes that would make the binaries stop working.

It seems that you all have used years BSD disklabel and fdisk. You see no problems in it's use. I have not used it years. To me all these cylinders, sectors, heads, blocks, geometry, are quite hard to understand and I am expecting that the programs help me how to define some simple partitions to the disk. Some days ago I wanted one 100MB swap and 3900MB filesystem. Even in DOS fdisk is in principle quite easy. You just tell what size of partitions you want. You do not have to define geometry, or calculate head, cyl, sector start and end points. Why is it so complicated in FreeBSD? Is it because it can go over 1023 cylinders??? But it cannot do it!! ;-) I am speaking on my experiences on my 4GB SCSI disk. When you define a disk with fdisk you have to type about 16 answears. And then you have to define disklabel, typically write 2 lines with 6 numbers/codes AND know what you do without any help from disklabel or man disklabel. On Linux fdisk you give 2 command a=add and p=primary, define partition number and size and type. That is 5-6 question/commands. You have only to input the actual sizes of partitions. No start or stop etc. No disklabel. In Linux the "root" "usr" "swap" "dos" etc. partitons are all defined in one program -- well -- the structure of the disk is a little different. FreeBSD fdisk does not know the geometry of the disk, you must define it by hand -- read disk manuals etc. if you are novice. Or you may use DOS fdisk to give to the FreeBSD fdisk some hints about the geometry. If you see carefully FreeBSD fdisk questions and how mutch it is helping you, you see it is not heling you at all, maybe it is more missleading you. The parameters you really want to define are 1. Partition sizes (in megabytes) 2. Partition types (DOS/FreeBSD/Other) 3. Reserver space for boot record or not (this could be default = yes) FreeBSD fdisk is asking 16 questions for one partition for those simple things and giving you zeroes as default - even for parameters whitch cannot be zeroes (like sector start). You must know a lot how to use fdisk and make calculations. Have you seen FreeBSD 2.0 installation? There is a good fdisk and disklabel! If you have not seen a good fdisk and disklabel start /stand/sysinstall ! Why is this fdisk not ported to FreeBSD multiuser (from standalone)? One thing is that the first number in line (here 79) end: cyl 79/ sector 32/ head 63 cannot exceed 1023. I have a disk with 4095 cylinders (4GB) but fdisk insists the last cylinder is 1023. ** Sorry, I am repeating myself. I understand the nature of FreeBSD, it is based on free work. BUT I cannot understand how the first answear to my complaints about fdisk+disklabel+newfs complexity was "it is trivial, it can be done in 1-2 minutes"! OR I CAN understand it. People who work with computers a long time loose the feel what is simple and what is not. I have worked 15 years with computers and have lost the viewpoint of novice users on many areas. That is why I am changing the field all the time: I started with Honeywell H1642 time Sharing System 1975 (have you heard - nice it has 2 cpus, one "control" one "job", did serve 20 users on 64 kilobyte core ram -- hah!), jumped to UNIVAC 1100/10, jumped to VAX 8600, jumped to unix (Sun), jumped to Macintoh user support, jumped back to Unix manager. I have seen quite a lot of different ways how a disk can be erased, re-defined and re-erased ;-) Most of very complicated, some very simple, some with mouse movement. Maybe FreeBSD fdisk is the same as it was 1978 in our VAX 11/750 BSD Unix. ** How to use fdisk (here 81MB scsi disk in AHA 2940 controller): # fdisk -i -u /dev/rsd1 ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=1923 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=1923 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl) # The cylinder count is nonsence, the disk is 80-81 MB, # so it should be 80 or 81.

I'm pretty darn sure I have everything setup okay. However, when I start up Netscape the following error is displayed and Netscape "hangs" doing nothing. uname() doesn't seem to work. Can't figure out what type of system this is. Uhm, this is a stock FreeBSD V2.0.5 with the IDE ATAPI CD-ROM support added. Uname seems to work at the shell level. Perhaps the length of the 'uname -a' return is a problem? My config, if this is important, is: P100, 40MB RAM NCR SCSI, lots of disks (SCSI-1 & SCSI-2) #9 GEX64-pro video I installed FreeBSD from tape (didn't have the CD-rom support yet :-). Any ideas as to what might be wrong. I have defined the XNLSxxx and KeySymDB environment variables to point to the correct place. Oh yea, I downloaded the: netscape-v1.1N-...-unknown-BSD.tar.Z from ftp.netscape.com. Any thoughts, suggestions, etc would be very welcome.

A year ago I was running FreeBSD 1.1.5.1, the most stable version of any free OS I've ever seen. And the one of the more stable among commercial products, too. I'm still running it, I'm *very* happy, and I will not upgrade this machine. I'd rather buy a new one to install 2.0.5 and subsequent releases, but this machin will remain 1.1.5.1.

(Check your syslog - this error is written out to there) I don't think you have a sendmail.cf problem here, though there are probably several people with more experience with sendmail.cf than me. (I just know how to bang on it till it translates the way I want it to...) If you do a ps -auwx | grep mail is sendmail running? The only place I can find that error in the source is under a check to determine (I think) the mode the program is running in. Perhaps sendmail is not running as root, or mail _is_.

About the "sendmail ... dangerous permission" message: I don't know about "Mail -v" but I got that same message from the system during reboot after I modified sendmail.cf using m4.

To me all these | cylinders, sectors, heads, blocks, geometry, are quite hard to understand | and I am expecting that the programs help me how to define some simple | partitions to the disk. Some days ago I wanted one 100MB swap and 3900MB | filesystem. | | Even in DOS fdisk is in principle quite easy. You just tell what size of | partitions you want. You do not have to define geometry, or calculate head, | cyl, sector start and end points. Why is it so complicated in FreeBSD? It was not always so with DOS, which remains a useful but limited OS. In time, the disk tools for BSD will doubtless improve. It's always a question of priorities, and adding disks to a system is not a common activity, compared to what you really intend the system to do. | In Linux the "root" "usr" "swap" "dos" etc. partitons are all defined in | one program -- well -- the structure of the disk is a little different. Once you get off the boot disk in a multi-disk system it's safer not to rely on assumptions. SunOS' format is not exactly for the faint of heart, yet it encompasses labelling, partitioning, formatting, etc. in one program. Nonetheless, you must know quite a bit of technical info to make it succeed. | | FreeBSD fdisk does not know the geometry of the disk, you must define it by | hand -- read disk manuals etc. if you are novice.

People who work with | computers a long time loose the feel what is simple and what is not. I would not dispute it. But try to keep something in perspective (at least in my opinion): Unix in all its various forms is not a trivial OS, nor is it for novices. To me, you must go in with something of an open mind. Setting up a disk subsystem is central to its operation, and how you finetune it can have quite an impact on performance. I question whether something as simple as size in megabytes is the end-all to the problem. Do you have the time to delve into some background? Read Evi Nemeth's chapter 12 in Unix System Administration Handbook, Prentice Hall Publishers, ISBN 0-13-933441-6. Perhaps you already know the material, but it's only 22 pages (including tables, examples, and illustrations); it might prove more productive than all these complaints about what the program doesn't do. Or are you just impatient to get the thing running so you can start net-surfing with something other than MS-Windows-based applications? Some of the limitations certainly stem from making Intel-based hardware do something it wasn't originally designed to do. Your comments seem to suggest that it (FreeBSD) should practically set up itself. Moreover, you seem to have already convinced yourself that the effort is futile, and that Linux is superior. Good enough, perhaps your question is answered. I too have spent many years dealing in different OS's, but I find it counter-productive to drag preconceived ideas from one arena of thought to another.

When you restart the system at the boot: prompt type "kernel -c" and move your at1500 to some other address and IRQ. Both 0x300 and IRQ 5 are popular for other things. I use 0x360, IRQ 9, DRQ 3 for my NE2100. Some ISA cards confuse IRQ 2 and IRQ 9. IRQ 2 on the ISA bus is going to appear as IRQ 9 at the interupt controller. After you've booted with kernel -c, "ls" will list the current values. Then (I forget) "lnc0 port 0x360" or "set lnc0 port 0x360" or some variation on that works. You have to do it 3 times, once for the port, once for the IRQ, and once again for the DRQ. After the system starts /etc/rc runs /sbin/dset and makes your changes permanent. -- David Kelly N4HHE, n4hhe@amsat.org, dkelly@iquest.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

Warning: prepare for *another* guy's 2 cents... :-) I have used both FreeBSD 2.0.5 and Linux a good bit, and I *like* both of them, so this is not a either-or for me. However, there are some differences on which I think Linux and FreeBSD could cross-fertilize. I used Linux first, then FreeBSD, so many remarks are an artifact of that. Some of the following statements may sound ignorant/stupid due to my own failure to understand something. If so, please ignore them! No RTFM flames! I'm preemptively admitting that I'm lazy and stupid! I'm interested in feedback, eg. "I agree", "this is wrong", etc. Stability --------- FreeBSD seems more "stable" than Linux. Installation ------------ FreeBSD beats Linux on this one, especially with the auto-FTP stuff. However, Slackware is pretty good, though there are too many questions when it asks you about every little package. Both are acceptable. Look & Feel ----------- Linux seems nicer here... some (silly) examples: o "gpm" program to cut & paste between virtual consoles with the mouse. o Scroll-back on virtual consoles: with FreeBSD you have to press scroll-lock, then you can shift-page-up. With Linux, you don't need the scroll-lock step. Why is it there? Just an extra pain. Preserve scroll-locking feature, but allow shift-page-up at any time. o Using LILO it's easy to boot up with 132x44 screens or whatever, instead of the huge 80x25 screen. I understand this can be done by using the pcvt console instead of sc0, but then you loose scroll-back. Maybe I'm missing something vis-a-vis the sc0 console, but not sure. o The X windows numlock problem never happened with Linux. Maybe FreeBSD should boot up with num lock off? I'm not sure why they behave differently. This could be my own stupidity, but seems like lots of people were tripped up by this for some reason. Maybe it's the X driver (?), but it didn't happen on Linux. o SVGA-lib: library of SVGA graphics routines... is this portable? o On FreeBSD you get this: $ rmdir directory/ rmdir: directory/: Is a directory No duh. Is this some POSIX nonsense? Disk management --------------- o LILO is great and easy to understand. There's a nice config file called /etc/lilo.conf and you just say "lilo" to install it. The "boot-easy" thing is more mysterious to me. How does it get there? How does it work? What about multiple disks? I like having names for things I want to boot instead of specifying disks+kernels. o Linux has a nice full-screen fdisk program. Where is FreeBSD's? Oh, it's hidden away in /stand. o The "disklabel" program seems poorly documented (hey, what the heck is a "label" anyway?) and mysterious. Or, maybe it isn't. To tell the truth, I try to avoid it. o Having all the FreeBSD partitions in one "slice" is neat. Kernel Configuration -------------------- o The "config" system of configuring and compiling a kernel is much nicer than Linux's system of answering a bunch of questions. Swap/memory ----------- o Given the same amount of memory + swap, FreeBSD will choke (and start killing random processes) first. The libc malloc() routine is optimized for speed instead of memory consumption -- should be (imho) replaced by GNU malloc. o This is partially because Linux has "ordered" libraries...? o Call me conservative, but I like the policy of not promising more memory than is actually available in memory+swap. It's a personal taste thing, I guess. Could it be configurable? o Linux has a nice command called "free": $ free total used free shared buffers Mem: 11324 11120 204 3228 5236 Swap: 52412 4 52408 o Linux now supports ELF... never used it and don't know much about its benefits, though. -Archie _______________________________________________________________________________ Archie L.

HERE ARE THE ANSWERS I GOT : At the boot prompt, specify the "-s" flag. This will drop you into single user mode where you can change root's password to what every you want. Justin T. Gibbs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Just boot with -s, then mount -a, then run passwd.

Then fsck -p all your disks, mount -a and passwd. -Guido ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- Try "-s" at the kernel boot prompt; that will put you in single user mode. You can then use the passwd command to fix the password. Mike Newell HERE IS MY PROBLEM STATUS ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON : At the boot: prompt, I typed -s and nothing else. The system proceed and I got to the 'Type CTRL-D for normal startup or root password for system maintenance' prompt. Remeber : I don't remember my root password!

I reboot the system and, at the boot: prompt, I typed hd(0,a)/kernel -s but again I got the 'Type CTRL-D for normal startup or root password for system maintenance' prompt.

When I rebooted, FreeBSD began spewing about 64 heads being incompatible with the 'partition table', and that the 'controller default of 16' (heads) was being restored. >From then on, lots of wonderful problems ensued. Install had trouble creating the rd0g disk partition (timing out), but after a bit of screwing around, (setting the CMOS settings to 2484c,16h,63s - these were the settings that install seemed to want - it kept writing them to the screen) rd0g formatted correctly (this occurred around 3am in the morning). But then DOS had it's little spew (didn't like the new MBR, did it? And yup, unfortunately, I need to keep DOS for work) So I reset the CMOS, rebooted teh install disk, rewrote the MBR etc etc, and install decided it would play ball until I had to reboot FreeBSD from the harddisk (just before I used cpio.flp, I guess). It rebooted fine until it got to forking init, couldn't find it, paniced, died :P So: - Why is 64 heads such a bad number (just _what_ partition table is the install disk referring to when it barfs)? - Is this the reason for FreeBSD's stubborn refusal to install smoothly? - Does anyone have any suggestions? cheers, John Brazel +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ jbbrazel@cs.adelaide.edu.au "Yea, though I walk alone through eris@student.adelaide.edu.au the valley of darkness, I fear no I.R.L: John Brazel evil, for I am the evilest son of Adelaide University, Aus. a bitch this valley has ever seen" HTTP://smug.student.adelaide.edu.au/~eris +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 22 17:08:52 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id RAA26539 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 22 Aug 1995 17:08:52 -0700 Received: from crow.ctc.edu (crow.ctc.edu [134.39.180.20]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id RAA26533 for ; Tue, 22 Aug 1995 17:08:50 -0700 Received: (from chris@localhost) by crow.ctc.edu (8.6.11/8.6.9) id RAA04666; Tue, 22 Aug 1995 17:02:18 -0700 Date: Tue, 22 Aug 1995 17:02:17 -0700 (PDT) From: Chris Coleman To: Mr_X cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: 64-heads on Western IDE In-Reply-To: <199508222352.JAA09873@brian.teaching.cs.adelaide.edu.au> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I think part of you problem can be fixed in the bios settings, there is a translation setting that allows dos to read larger than 500meg drives this has to be set so that it doesn;t translate so that unix can read it right.

The kernel is from -current sources around March 30. I run gated on this machine and I have attempted to let gated discover the default route via RIP version 1. The gated log shows the default route being installed via ed0. I haven't looked at the gated code so I assume that gated is printing its notion of the interface that will be used is based on netmasks. The kernel installs the route through ppp0. I though this was a gated/RIP problem but this behaviour can be duplicated with route add commands. I get around it by adding the default route in netstart before gated is started and any ppp interafces are alive. I now have the router pasword and have shut down RIP which can't deal with subnets anyway.

The `2' is probably for BIOS drive number 0x82 (the 3rd BIOS drive = the first SCSI drive when there are 2 drives before it in the BIOS drive numbering scheme). Try booting from hd(1,a)/kernel like the prompt says. This only works for the first SCSI drive.

Actually you can only move the partition on disk. That is change the order of DOS/FreeBSD/other partitions.

I have some Linux and FreeBSD (1+2) systems to manage, I do WWW co-ordination, help users build Gopher database and WWW pages, help Macintosh users, keep Mac Net up, help Unix users, help VMS users, try to manage our workgroup (Unix, VMS, LAN). Yes I am impatient, I have very limited time for example to add one disk to some system. When I encounter a software not helping me at all, but giving me wrong info, succesting impossible parameter values, pushing me to use calculator, read manuals and find disk parameters ... I am getting very angry and dissapointed. I am starting to ask why is this program so stupid --- specially if I have seen a lot of better for same job. It does not calm me down when people reply "it is trivial" when I know it is not trivial. >Some of the limitations certainly stem from making Intel-based hardware do >something it wasn't originally designed to do. What if the original "Intel-based" tools are better, as here DOS fdisk? >Your comments seem to suggest that it (FreeBSD) should practically set up >itself. I am sure we hope it all !! ;-) And it does it partially: it has probes on boot etc. (and Linux does it even better, sorry). I have seen systems where you compile the kernel every time after you change the hardware. And Ii can imagine in my wild imagination that when I add one more disk to the FreeBSD system it could ask me these questions: You have one unformated disk on SCSI port 4, do you like to set it up? (y/n) Y Use disk entirely for FreeBSD? (y/n) Y Will you store many small files to the disk or big files? (s/b) B I succest block size 4096 (4096) ? Running fdisk... Running disklabel...

Since I'm using the NCR PCI drivers, I checked ftp.uni-koeln.de for a more recent version of the NCR drivers. There was one from October 26, 1994. This one had a change to pcisupport.c. I rebuilt the kernel using that version and everything works just fine. Just wanted to keep anyone from scratching their head. Thanks.

Yow! Why is it trying to boot from your CDROM, I wonder? It should be trying to change the root device to sd0a, not sd2a! Are you doing anything especially creative in the installation? I really don't see how this could happen unless you're typing something weird at the boot prompt.

Some have jumpers. Some do not. For the cards with no jumpers, they usually come with a MSDOS program that will set the irq/port using software. This is kinda like CMOS on a PC (where your drive-types are stored) You will have to reboot your FreeBSD box, and boot off an MSDOS floppy. then run this "MSDOS SOFTWARE CONFIGURABLE CARD PROGRAM" then reboot back to FreeBSD. Also, you can view what FreeBSD is looking for by putting the kernel in debug mode. boot: hd(0,a)/kernel -c Then you can do a ls to view the different hardware settings currently being probed. You can change what addresses are to we probed, then hit 'q' to exit the "debug" mode... 2) About the X windows stuff.

In particular I would like to know: 1. Approximate cost of setting up a Web server (an Internet connection already exists): this would include a suitable Unix system with basic peripherals like scanner, backup, etc. A list of typical hardware would be useful... 2. From your experience, what type of assistance would be requested most frequently - we like to schedule our training based on practical requirements. 3. Training... can anybody list essential topics we should include in our training program? 4. Are there any mailing lists or Web based support groups for Web site owners/maintainers? If not, should we set one up? I realize this may be a lot of information to ask from busy system administrators... I thank you in advance for your comments!

To get a Zip drive running properly, stick a DOS partition on it, use FreeBSD's fdisk to change the sysid to 165 (ie ensure that all other portions of the parition remain untouched), then use the following disktab entry to slam a disklabel on it: zip100|Iomega Zip 100: \ :ty=winchester:dt=SCSI:se#512:nt#64:ns#32:nc#96:rm#3600:\ :pa#196576:oa#0:ba#4096:fa#512:ta=4.2BSD: \ :pc#196576:oc#0: The disklabel assumes Adaptec standard geometry, so you may have to tweek it a bit.

Caveat: I believe that sio only has 5 bits reserved for minor numbers of serial ports. This (unfortunate!) limit means that the configuration I suggest won't quite work, because sio can only handle 32 ports total, not 36. You can get around this by removing the support for COM1-4, renumbering all the ports so that BB #1 is from 0-15 and BB #2 is from 16-31, and resetting the flags to "0x1005" and "0x2005" respectively.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi all, For anyone interested, I was able to get my 4 gig scsi drive going. I couldn't get fdisk to do it's thing (at least as far as I could tell), so instead I simply booted from the install floppy and did a minimal install on the the new drive. Worked like a charm. It is a bit of a kludgy way to go, though. Why can't we have a utility that has the brains of sysinstall that shields us from the fdisk and disklabel yuckiness? Anyway, my real question is regarding background NFS mounts. Do they work? I tried both of the following: mount -o bg -t nfs -a (had to dig through the source to figure out the 'bg' option :) and mount_nfs -b server:resource mountpoint and nothing got mounted! If, however, I do a mount -t nfs -a everthing appears fine (as it should). I'd really like to have background mounts so stuff gets remounted properly in the case of a big power loss. Is this currently broken? BTW, I'm using 2.0.5-RELEASE.

Is this currently broken? It works (mostly) here. Here's an entry from fstab: rainier:/VOL2/src /usr/src nfs rw,bg,soft 0 0 rainier:/VOL2/obj /usr/obj nfs rw,bg,soft 0 0 rainier:/VOL2/ports /usr/ports nfs rw,bg,soft 0 0 It seems that if the NFS server is down for less than a trivial amount of time, the NFS mount is "lost", and never regained. Short downtimes don't seem to cause any problems.

I have a aha1542c scsi controller and the zip drive is seen with: 96 cylinders, 32 sectors, 64 heads. so I inserted your sequence in my disktab file I suppose that 196576 is the number of sector on the parition. from fdisk I get 196607. so I tried with both values. but I get: sd1s4: raw partition size != slice size sd1s4: start 1, end 196607 I tried to install a partition size of 196576 but I get: sd1s4: raw partition size != slice size sd1s4: start 1, end 196576, size 196576 sd1s4c: start 1, end 20000, size 20000 Euh ? I wonder why the said start 1, end 2000 for the c partition. It's very strange. I've not been able to come up with a solution. I probably missed something very important in the fdisk/disklabel manual. by the way, how can I access an existing msdos partition on a zip drive ? Is there any FAQ about the zip drive ? if there is not any FAQ for the zip drive I can try to write one after having resolved my problems. -- Didier Derny didier@aida.org From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 23 17:11:32 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id RAA01478 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 23 Aug 1995 17:11:32 -0700 Received: from distortion.eng.umd.edu (distortion.eng.umd.edu [129.2.98.6]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id RAA01472 for ; Wed, 23 Aug 1995 17:11:29 -0700 Received: from latte.eng.umd.edu (latte.eng.umd.edu [129.2.98.15]) by distortion.eng.umd.edu (8.6.10/8.6.4) with ESMTP id UAA15214 for ; Wed, 23 Aug 1995 20:11:21 -0400 Received: (chuckr@localhost) by latte.eng.umd.edu (8.6.10/8.6.4) id UAA13718; Wed, 23 Aug 1995 20:11:21 -0400 Date: Wed, 23 Aug 1995 20:11:20 -0400 (EDT) From: Chuck Robey To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: DigiBoard Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have an old DigiBoard 8 port card, not one of the intelligent ones, and I'm trying to see if it fits in with either the AST or Boca configs that are illustrated in the SIO man page. Trouble is, it really doesn't match, exactly, so I don't know. It does manage a status port, like the Boca, but the address is completely moveable, and unlike the Boca, you're not supposed to colocate it with one of the UART address. I can turn the status port off, and I think I want to, because the SIO man page says it's not used anyhow, but I'm afraid if I lie to the config and tell it that the 8th port is the status port, it'll break something. Unlike the AST, you don't write anything to the status port, so I don't think I can use the AST setup. The only way the status port is used, is to indicate which UARTS need servicing, when called thru the single (or optionally dual) irq. You just read the bottom 3 ports, to find out which UART issued the interrupt. Anyone know how I oughta set this up? Note that this board has absolutely nothing in common with the recent DigiBoard driver, which was for the new boards with the on-board processor. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 23 17:52:18 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id RAA02513 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 23 Aug 1995 17:52:18 -0700 Received: from kryten.atinc.com (kryten.Atinc.COM [198.138.38.7]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id RAA02507 for ; Wed, 23 Aug 1995 17:52:13 -0700 Received: (jmb@localhost) by kryten.atinc.com (8.6.9/8.3) id UAA01452; Wed, 23 Aug 1995 20:46:05 -0400 Date: Wed, 23 Aug 1995 20:46:04 -0400 (EDT) From: "Jonathan M.

On the -stable kernel that I built, on boot-up, I get: probing for devices on the pci0 bus: configuration mode 1 allows 32 devices changing root device to sd0a panic: cannot mount root However, the prebuilt 2.0.5R kernel probes fine and finds chip0/ncr0. It appears the kernel I build is not probing or can't find the devices on my pci bus. Here's the appropriate fields from my disfunctional config file: ... controller ncr0 ... # as found in LINT, these are at the very bottom of the config # file controller pci0 device ncr0 I am sure I have it configured wrong, but haven't had any luck w/ hacking with the config file and rebuilding the kernel - I also have questions and confusions about the kernel reconfiguration process, for one, I do not know why in the GENERIC config file, "controller ncr0" is found, but not in the LINT file, and why LINT has "controller pci0" and "device ncr0", but these lines aren't found in GENERIC. If anyone could set me straight, point out my error and/or send me a working config file that should work in my hardware paradigm, I'd be greatly appreciative!

What I'd like to see is a new item in the installation menu: * install kernel sources Like most of us I happen to recompile the kernel every now and then. Up to now there are two ways to put the kernel sources on disk: 1) install all sources and delete the non-kernel sources and 2) unpack ssys* by hand. Both of them are not very user-friendly. And I think (without looking at the install-sources :-) ) that a new menu item is just a few minutes work ... -Walter From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Aug 24 06:24:33 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id GAA19085 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 24 Aug 1995 06:24:33 -0700 Received: from who.cdrom.com (who.cdrom.com [192.216.222.3]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id GAA19079 for ; Thu, 24 Aug 1995 06:24:32 -0700 Received: from distortion.eng.umd.edu (distortion.eng.umd.edu [129.2.98.6]) by who.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.11) with ESMTP id GAA29063 for ; Thu, 24 Aug 1995 06:24:07 -0700 Received: from espresso.eng.umd.edu (espresso.eng.umd.edu [129.2.98.13]) by distortion.eng.umd.edu (8.6.10/8.6.4) with ESMTP id JAA19921; Thu, 24 Aug 1995 09:22:35 -0400 Received: (chuckr@localhost) by espresso.eng.umd.edu (8.6.10/8.6.4) id JAA01250; Thu, 24 Aug 1995 09:22:33 -0400 Date: Thu, 24 Aug 1995 09:22:32 -0400 (EDT) From: Chuck Robey To: Blair Schmittel cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: anonymous FTP.

Make sure you put that name inside the config file too, in its correct place (search for GENERIC in the GENERIC file, you'll see it). 4) cd to ../../compile/NEWCONFIGFILENAME 5) make depend 6) make 7) If no errors, make install, then reboot and cross your fingers.

Or > is that the only way it can be done? You need to load the ssys.* distribution first. This is the kernel source. Once you've done that, cd to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf and look at the file called GENERIC. Make a copy of this - for this example, I'll call it MYKERNEL. Edit MYKERNEL to suit your needs - you can see examples of what you can do in LINT. Once that's done, do the following: config MYKERNEL cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL make depend make make install Reboot to activate your new kernel. I recommend that you change only a few things at a time until you're comfortable with what you're doing. If you botch things up, the previous kernel can be booted by typing 'kernel.old' at the boot prompt.

Cc: jeffa@sybase.com Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi All, In my continuing quest to get Netscape running I've run into another problem. My last email indicated that Netscape was hanging after printing the uname() error. Well, I tracked that down to the fact that it doesn't seem to like my DISPLAY environment variable too much. It's a standard pointer to the hostname:0 type of thing. Xterm seems to like it... but Netscape doesn't. Solution... "xhost +" and change DISPLAY to be localhost:0. Hmmmm, something feels wrong about that... But, at least it got Netscape to come up with the Accept/Refuse screen. I clicked on Accept and it put the normal Netscape screen up. At this point I click on Options which puts up the Options menu. The mouse changes to a reverse arrow and then the entire X session hangs. The mouse still moves around, but I can't changed window focus, etc. I've tried different window managers just to ensure that isn't the problem. Nope. The only solution is to CTRL/ALT/F1 back to the console and KILL the Netscape process. Then the window manager comes back to life and all is well. So far I've tried TWM and OLVWM. However both have exactly the same problem. Hmmm. The configuration is a P100 running FreeBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE with the Xfree86 version shipped with 2.0.5-R. I downloaded the entire kit from ftp.freebsd.org (I own all of the CD's but 2.0.5 'cause my CPU upgrade caused me to loose my SCSI-cdrom in favor of a IDE based one... the CD became problem. I've since loaded the IDE CD-rom support and all is well... I'll order 2.1 CD when that is available). Any thoughts or ideas as to what might be wrong? I know that others seem to be working just fine... what could be wrong with my setup?

The problem is that only the first line or so of a file gets printed. First of all, the printer works fine under dos, and worked fine under SCO Xenix, the OS I used previously. So it probably is not a hardware problem, or unixphobia. The printer uses the HP laserjet+ command set. I therefore put an initialization string of HP code (cannibalized from the SCO Xenix lj interfacefile) at the front of a simple text file, and then tried cat myfile > /dev/lpt0 (apparently it has to be lpt0; lp0, as in the default printcap file, does not work). The printer then starts up and prints the first and second lines of the text (the second line is severely shifted). After this the D(ownload) indicator keeps on blinking like mad, but this may simply be caused by the fact that the dataline stays high. Needless to say, if I put myfile through lpr, I get the same result. I don't think it is a printspooler problem, though. My impression is that some buffer is not properly flushed. If I put two lpr calls in short succession into the queue of different files, I sometimes manage to get different lines into the output (from the single attempts, I mean). However, I am not to sure about the reproduceability of this effect. I would very much appreciate some help on this problem. It is probably not a bug, but something stupid I do (at least I hope it is that simple). Finally, are any of the outputfilter files, mentioned in connection with lpr anywhere in the distribution? I couldn't find any, but maybe I am looking in the wrong places. Thanking you very much in anticipation.

It should be able to read the tape you may however have to adjust the blocklength for the device (using mt -f /dev/rst0 blocksize xxxxx) or maybe even set it to variable mode (xxxxx = 0) if yo do, then your READ must be the same size as the writes on the writer.. or larger.. you can experiment using dd dd if=/dev/rst0 of=/tmp/xxx bs=64k count=1 will read a single block from tape, and you can then look at /tmp/xxx to see how large a tape block is on the tape. alternatively, you should be able to do a small read, and the error message should make it clear what the record size should have been set to.. (that's if it's variable mode) If the tape is in fixed mode, you may be able to see using mt status butif not, just keep adjusting the recordsize using 'mt' through all the likely sizes.. 512, 1024, 2048 4096.... > > It's critical I get this right as I'm leaving here in a week and > I have a couple of 100Mb of personal files I've accumulated over 8 > years to save until I get enough money together to get a PC. > > Respond via email please. > > Cheers, > Dave. > From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Aug 24 13:45:28 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id NAA05922 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 24 Aug 1995 13:45:28 -0700 Received: from mars.csg.peachnet.edu ([168.26.193.19]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id NAA05913 for ; Thu, 24 Aug 1995 13:45:23 -0700 Received: from mercury.csg.peachnet.edu (mercury.CSG.PeachNet.EDU [168.26.193.32]) by mars.csg.peachnet.edu (8.6.9/8.6.9) with ESMTP id QAA27461 for ; Thu, 24 Aug 1995 16:30:50 -0400 Received: from CCMAIN/SpoolDir by mercury.csg.peachnet.edu (Mercury 1.21); 24 Aug 95 16:46:44 EST Received: from SpoolDir by CCMAIN (Mercury 1.21); 24 Aug 95 16:46:43 EST From: "Christian" Organization: Columbus College, Columbus, GA To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Thu, 24 Aug 1995 16:46:43 EST MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Subject: My 2.0.5-RELEASE SYSTEM Won't boot!!

Today, I was running Xwindows and had lots of xterms open and telnet sessions to various places. "Top" claimed that swap was around 12%. I mounted a cd and exported the mountpoint via NFS. Several other systems NFS-mounted the cdrom and started chewing away at it. (DOS-boxes installing windows off of the CDROM, actually :-). All seemed well. I even noted, impressed, that top showed that the nfsiod processes where using virtually NO cpu time! And then, with no warning, my machine resets! No panic messages or anything. Just a blank screen with warm fuzzy BIOS messages appearing. :-( Anyhow, I feel quite sure that not everything is as it should be and was wondering if any of you brave chaps had anything to say about my tale. thanks, --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles Owens Email: owensc@enc.edu "I read somewhere to learn is to Information Technology Services remember... and I've learned that Eastern Nazarene College we've all forgot..." - King's X ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Aug 24 15:31:57 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id PAA09486 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 24 Aug 1995 15:31:57 -0700 Received: from elf.kendall.mdcc.edu (elf.kendall.mdcc.edu [147.70.150.122]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id PAA09478 for ; Thu, 24 Aug 1995 15:31:55 -0700 Received: (from freelist@localhost) by elf.kendall.mdcc.edu (8.6.11/8.6.9) id SAA07213; Thu, 24 Aug 1995 18:21:05 -0400 Date: Thu, 24 Aug 1995 18:21:03 -0400 (EDT) From: "Don's FList drop" To: Pedro A M Vazquez cc: freebsd-questions@freefall.FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: Setting up Web support/help-line (fwd) In-Reply-To: <199508231329.NAA26083@kalypso.iqm.unicamp.br> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Yes.

Is there any chance of having the card supported in the next version? Great results with that info. It actually fixed the problem! I love it. Now, just a few other small questions... 1. I have a serial mouse (MS) and X doesn't like it when I use selection/gpm. I thought that was for ps/2 or busmice only... 2. Is slow_vram any indication that the board _is_ actually slow? It does seem a little sluggish (well, faster than my cirrus 5428) but I would expect it to be one of the faster ones that run under XFree. 3. I started out using my config from my old machine/card, and the color map must have changed, becuase my white background has turned purple. Which option/path do I need to change to get the correct color map? 4. How do get this card to use the maximum amount of colors that is possible? I would like to do like 64k or something like that. This is one part of configuring X that I don't know much about, due to the fact that the other cards I have had sucked. Follows is 'startx 2>&1 | less'. I was hoping you could look thru it to see if there are any blaring problems, or things that could be fixed. Thanks so much. X runs better than it ever has..

It compile out of the box and works great for me. I've set cron to run it once an hour to retrieve my mail. Since this is the 2nd or 3rd time someone has asked this I see that quite a few people, besides myself, have a need for it. As soon as I finish this message I'll do a port of it. Hopefully, It'll go better than my first port attempts: tcl-7.4&tk-4.0. BTW, here is a small script that I use to get the mail: ############ BEGIN INCLUDED SCRIPT ############ #!/bin/sh /sbin/ping -c 2 mailhost /usr/local/bin/popclient -3 -u user -p pword -o /var/mail/user mailhost ############ END INCLUDED SCRIPT ############## user is you, pword is your password, mailhost is where your mail is. I use the ping to get iij-ppp out of bed even though I have a static IP. If I dont use ping to wake iij-ppp up popclient will often timeout before iij-ppp finishes breakfast and gets to work. You may also notice that the script appends new mail to your local INBOX in /var/mail instead of using mail to send it to you. I found that if I didn't do this that all mail ended up being To: rsnow@txdirect.net From: rsnow@txdirect.net making it pretty hard to reply to. Appending to the file is a BIG kludge since it doesn't do any file locking and simply appends the new mail which causes many mail readers to puke if they happen to be running when the new mail comes in. I believe that that there may be a way to do this properly (sendmail?) but haven't looked into it. Oh, you may or may not need the -3 option, depending on your pop server. popclient does both pop2(-2) and pop3(-3), my mail server just happens to need pop3. Good luck. --- Rob Snow rsnow@txdirect.net From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Aug 24 23:21:30 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id XAA27574 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 24 Aug 1995 23:21:30 -0700 Received: from relay4.UU.NET (relay4.UU.NET [192.48.96.14]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id XAA27568 for ; Thu, 24 Aug 1995 23:21:28 -0700 Received: from asylum.asylum.org by relay4.UU.NET with ESMTP id QQzegv11961; Fri, 25 Aug 1995 02:21:29 -0400 Received: (from dlr@localhost) by asylum.asylum.org (8.6.10/8.6.9) id BAA29558; Fri, 25 Aug 1995 01:23:39 -0400 From: dlr Message-Id: <199508250523.BAA29558@asylum.asylum.org> Subject: Re: Adding scsi hard drive To: dlr@asylum.asylum.org (dlr) Date: Fri, 25 Aug 1995 01:23:38 -0400 (EDT) Cc: questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <199508250229.WAA28909@asylum.asylum.org> from "dlr" at Aug 24, 95 10:29:57 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 700 Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk | |could this be an irq/address problem? | |what is npx0? and why is it hanging there? | npx0 is the math coprocessor. it was hanging there becuase that is what came right after the probe for the scsi card and drive. it was an address problem.

First, a little history on the problem. This morning, the power blipped on and off about 6 or 7 times. (I wasn't home at the time) My surge protector is designed to just shut off the power if it drops too low, and apparantly that's what happened. Anyway, the point is, the machine crashed without syncing the disks. BTW, I was running 2.0.5R with the ahc1 driver from early July. (around July 5th or so, I upgraded it because of the bug fixes, performance gains, etc.) Anyway, when I cranked the machine back up after the crash, fsck couldn't get all the way through /usr without crapping out during Phase 2, the 'Check Pathnames' stage. I would just hear the drive spin down all of a sudden, and then spin back up, meanwhile, the ahc1 driver spits out sd0: timed out errors... /usr is a 3.6 gig partition (f), disklabel is included below. The output from the ahc1 driver initialization is included below as well. I tried rebooting several times, and running through the fsck again and again, and got the same result (drive spinning down during Phase 2 of the fsck, sd0 timeouts) every time. The only way I was able to get /usr to work at all was to mount -f it, unmount it, (so it would look like a clean dismount) and then mount it again. So, I decided to upgrade my scsi code and the Adaptec driver to -current. I grabbed the stuff from sys/i386/scsi, sys/dev/aic7xxx, sys/pci/aic7870.c, and all of sys/scsi. sys/i386/isa/aic7770.c had not changed since the last time I grabbed the driver. The current driver seemed to work fine, so I decided to have a go at fscking /usr, to see if the upgraded driver would make any difference as far as behavior. It made a difference, but not exactly what I wanted. When I fscked the partition, it failed in Phase 2, as before, and the drive spun down, but instead of the plain timeout messages, I got the following error messages (I had to write them down.../var is on the drive in question, so there was no logging or anything that could be done): ahc1: target 0, lun 0 (sd0) timed out sd0(ahc1:0:0): BUS DEVICE RESET message queued. ahc1: target 0, lun 0 (sd0) timed out ahc1: Issued Channel A Bus Reset #1. 1 SCBs aborted panic: ahc1: brkadrint, Illegal Host Access at seqaddr = 0x0 syncing disks... 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1..and so on So, I'm not sure whether this is a hardware problem, or a software problem, or what. Does anyone have any ideas about this? The machine seems to be working fine now, but it kinda makes me nervous not to be able to get through a fsck of the system. I was able to do a full backup this afternoon (using tar), but not without several timeouts: Aug 24 14:01:03 wc206 /kernel: ahc1: target 0, lun 0 (sd0) timed out Aug 24 14:01:13 wc206 /kernel: Aug 24 14:01:13 wc206 /kernel: sd0(ahc1:0:0): ABORTED COMMAND asc:4e,0 Overlapped commands attempted Aug 24 14:01:13 wc206 /kernel: , retries:4 Aug 24 14:01:14 wc206 /kernel: ahc1: target 0, lun 0 (sd0) timed out Aug 24 14:01:14 wc206 /kernel: Aug 24 14:39:52 wc206 /kernel: ahc1: target 0, lun 0 (sd0) timed out Aug 24 14:40:00 wc206 /kernel: Aug 24 14:40:00 wc206 /kernel: ahc1: target 0, lun 0 (sd0) timed out Aug 24 14:40:00 wc206 /kernel: Aug 24 14:40:00 wc206 /kernel: sd0(ahc1:0:0): ABORTED COMMAND asc:4e,0 Overlapped commands attempted Aug 24 14:40:00 wc206 /kernel: , retries:4 I wasn't running the -current ahc1 driver when I did the backup, so the error messages aren't as verbose as they might be. So, if anyone has any idea how I might at the very least diagnose what kind of problem my drive has, and hopefully be able to fsck the entire thing, I'd be very grateful.

If SMC are right and the problem is the motherboard and not the card your PCI bus might well be fast enough. I'm sure you'd have noticed the problem by now because it makes my ethernet unusable! I'm talking to Sun SS-20s via a networth micro 100 repeater. netstat on the Suns reports input errors on the 100bTx card. Mark p.s.

Xmcd-1.4 has a bug in FreeBSD module, that prevents it from working on 2.0.5 (it works on 2.0 so..). You can get and updated FreeBSD version from: ftp://burka.netvision.net.il/pub/misc/xmcd/xmcd-1.4-fb2.0.5R.tar.gz. In addition to the bug fix this version has support for ioctl playing method.

Yep, so I hacked a bigger kludge into the script I used for a while. I've included it here for your potential amusement. It requires a ~/.pop file that contains on one line: This one at least locks the mail box in /var/mail/. It paws around in the headers to try and determine who the mail might possibly really be from instead of "popserver". No, it's not perfect.

I don't know what it is with this guy, but he's totally ignored my previous two pleas to STOP cross-posting his messages to every list we own! I have asked him nicely, I have asked him more firmly, but still the spam. I figure he'll go away if we simply ignore him completely or maybe he'll get the message that if he wants to talk to us, he shouldn't shout!

I am crossposting this to freebsd-hackers and freebsd-questions here is what I am about to ask: 1. slattach bug 2. ppp (iij) bug 3. question about load balancing (specificly over ppp links) 4. ppp server questions - offer of dynamic ip pppd server and misc. here we go. 1. has the slattach bug been fixed? under pre-2.0.5-950622-SNAP and the mentioned release, slattach has a bug - it doesn't release the comunication device when redialing - that would cause your kermit to time out becuase it's not able to open the comm device. I fixed it with the simple function call - which I am including at the end of the message: 2. ppp (iij) has a bug - try having your tunnel device as a 9th on the device list (netstat -i) - the bug is that the buffer was preset and too small for the systems that have more then 8 slip/ppp/tunel devices total. I am including the relevant 2 liner code fix at the end. 3. has any work been done on load balancing? I know Linux has it working, but I don't see it in 2.0.5-950622-SNAP - so is anyone working on it? If not, is anyone planning to do any work on it? 4. I am using ppp EXTENSIVELY - I even wrote dynamic ip ppp server - so here are a few ppp-related Qs: a. is there a FAQ on dynamic ppp? I wrote a doc for internal use on dynamic ip ppp server - whom do I talk to to make it available for wider use? maybe included in /usr/share/FAQ? b. I am getting LOTZA reboots with pppd - specially if my dialup ppp client hungs up (or gets a call when his call waiting is on, or when somebody else picks up the phone (and wonders what all that noise is about :-)). Has anyone been working extensively with pppd to help me out with those kind of problems? c. I am also getting reconnection problems with pppd - there are two subproblems: - when my connection is violently broken (without graceful shutdown), when I reconnect, pppd will refuse to start up firing of a message: ioctl(SIOCAIFADDR): Address already exists in other words - it trying to add a route to the ppp client but the route allready exists - so it fails miserably. the only solution so far has been to wait for some time and retry again. - when the connection is broken on my ppp link to another node - let's say I reboot, but the physical link is still up (i.e. the phone call is still in progress and modems have not hung up), I can't reconnect - slip does this automaticaly i.e. when you fire off slattach - if it's connected to the other side - it just keep going --- can I achieve similar effect under FreeBSD? - sometimes when I disconnect normally ppp client from FreeBSD pppd server, it "forgets" that the phone call has ended and keeps the ppp user process going. :( when it happened I tried experimenting and sending -HUP signal to the client ppp process but it would ignore it. any help? - Anyone willing to chat a bit more about ppp? :) I am just right out ready to kill for a chat with somebody who knows ppp extensively. thank you for reading.

The generic kernel has support for 4 virtual consoles, but getty is only enabled on three to allow X to use the fourth. You can edit /etc/ttys and run 'kill -HUP 1' to enable the getty on the fourth. If you need more, you will need to recompile (just) the kernel. Kernel recompilation is fairly trivial - I believe that it's covered in the FAQ.

This is how I have one 16-port boca board configured. Works fine. Unfortunantly the sio driver doesn't take advantage of the boca's interrupt register and so it polls all 16 ports every time any of the interrupts. I tried to fix the driver, but it kept hanging. The NetBSD driver does the right thing (I wrote the first version), but that doesn't help much. I don't know if you can run two of them on the same FreeBSD system. Because of the driver problem, I'm figuring that if I want that many serial ports I'll dedicate a machine to being a terminal server and run NetBSD on it. In every other respect, I find FreeBSD easier to deal with.

Add functionality to your kermit dial script to drop connection and redial if you don't get a 28.8 connect or find out the "true" number of a few of the 28.8 lines and dial them directly.

Did you use the port? If so, it should work. Otherwise, be sure you told Configure you were going to use elm setgid. You should use the internal savegid.

The sio pages combined with the LINT comments and the old FAQ blurb enabled me to do it with not too much trouble. However, the constant yammering of my Linux Witness coworker about how much doc they have for their system motivated me to write this little 3 page hand-holder for the process.

The Handbook Big Cheese is welcome to clean it up and include it, presuming it passes muster. Installing and enabling the Boca 16 with FreeBSD ------------------------------------------------ So you got yourself a Boca 16 port board or are thinking about it? The modifications to make it happen with FreeBSD are pretty straighforward, but you'll need certain things before you can Make it Happen: One, you either need the kernel sources installed so you can recompile the necessary options or you'll need someone else to compile it for you. The 2.0.5 default kernel does not come with multiport support enabled and you'll need to add a device entry for each port anyways. Two, you'll need to know the interrupt and IO setting for your Boca Board so you can set these options properly in the kernel. One important note - the actual UART chips for the Boca 16 are in the connector box, not on the internal board itself. So if you have it unplugged, probes of those ports will fail. I've never tested booting with the box unplugged and plugging it back in, and I suggest you don't either. Make it Happen -------------- If you don't already have a custom kernel configuration file set up, follow the instructions in the FAQ or handbook on doing so. I strongly advise you to refer to it, but the basics are: (from the FAQ) cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf cp GENERIC MYKERNEL vi MYKERNEL (this is the point where you make the changes indicated) config MYKERNEL cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL make all make install reboot Actual Kernel Changes --------------------- The following presumes you're using the kernel name MYKERNEL and editing with vi. In the configuration file, you need to make the following changes: add the line "options COM_MULTIPORT" where the current "device sio xxx" lines are, you'll need to add _16_ devices. Only the last device includes the interrupt vector for the board. (See man sio for detail as to why) In my kernel, the devices are as follows: device sio1 at isa? port 0x100 tty flags 0x1005 device sio2 at isa? port 0x108 tty flags 0x1005 device sio3 at isa? port 0x110 tty flags 0x1005 device sio4 at isa? port 0x118 tty flags 0x1005 ... device sio15 at isa? port 0x170 tty flags 0x1005 device sio16 at isa? port 0x178 tty flags 0x1005 irq 3 vector siointr The configuration of my Boca Board is interrupt 3, IO port address 100h. Each port is +8h from the previous port, thus the 100h,108h,110h... addresses. The flags entry _must_ be changed from this example unless you are using the exact same sio assignments. Flags are set according to 0xMYY where M indicates the minor number of the master port (the last port on a Boca 16) and YY indicates if FIFO is enabled or disabled(enabled), IRQ sharing is used(yes) and if there is an AST/4 compatible IRQ control register(no). In this example, flags 0x1005 indicates that the master port is sio16. If I added another board and assigned sio17 through sio28, the flags for all 16 ports on _that_ board would be 0x1C05, where 1C indicates the minor number of the master port. Do not change the 05 setting. Save and complete the kernel compilation and install process.

If you've never used the MAKEDEV script, this will be a cinch. I'm sure some bright person could do a script off the top of their head to create all 16 devices, but the slow-and-stupid way (ie - my way) is to su root cd /dev ./MAKEDEV tty1 ./MAKEDEV cua1 .. (everything inbetween) ./MAKEDEV ttyg ./MAKEDEV cuag If you don't want/need callout devices for some reason, you can dispense with making the cua* devices. You're Done ----------- That's all folks. If you want a quick and sloppy way to make sure the devices are working, you can simply plug a modem into each port and (as root) echo at > ttyd* for each device you have made. You _should_ see the RX lights flash for each working port. It's cheesy, but it's quick. Check the FAQ for information on setting up dialin and out, and good luck!

The 0x2000 means window 1 is the active window at the time of the failure, which is normal. 3Com describes three type of errors that can cause an adaptor failure. Transmit overrun (host writes more that there is room for in TX buffer) Receive underrun (host reads data that is not yet available or past the pad bytes in RX FIFO) Internal hardware errors as yet undefined.

The ppp man page and FAQ is a little sparse on this topic. The biggest suggestion I have for the man page is make it clear that you need "options GATEWAY" in your kernel for this to work. This would have saved me some aggravation. In any case, here is my PPP-server mini-FAQ. (I apologize in advance if the information below is not particularly useful or duplicates other info). Steve Melvin melvin@zytek.com ----- HOW DO I SET UP A PPP SERVER? The following instructions relate to a situation such as the following, it may not be appropriate for other situations. ----------- Internet <---------> | FreeBSD | <---ttyd0---> (modem) <---> PPP user | 2.0.5 | <---ttyd1---> (modem) <---> PPP user | | <---ttyd2---> (modem) <---> PPP user | | <---ttyd3---> (modem) <---> PPP user ----------- 1. Generate a kernel with "options GATEWAY". 2. Use "vipw" to add users, by convention the first letter being a 'P'. The last entry on the line should be /usr/local/bin/ppplogin. 3. For best results, make sure /dev/tty's are using hardware handshake. The easiest way to so this is add the line: ------- modem 0 1 2 3 ------- to the end of the file /etc/rc.serial. Then type "sh /etc/rc.serial" as root. Update the /etc/ttys file as described in the ppp manual page. 4. Create the file /etc/ppp/ppp.conf with an entry for each dial in line. I have assumed that you are able to pre-allocate one IP address for each dial in line. In this case each user will get a dynamically assigned address depending on which line they dial in on. In this example the FreeBSD box is 140.174.241.1 and the dial in lines are 140.174.241.17 - 140.174.241.20. ------- ################################################################# # # PPP Configuration File # ################################################################# # # ttyd0: set ifaddr 140.174.241.1 140.174.241.17 255.255.255.255 # ttyd1: set ifaddr 140.174.241.1 140.174.241.18 255.255.255.255 # ttyd2: set ifaddr 140.174.241.1 140.174.241.19 255.255.255.255 # ttyd3: set ifaddr 140.174.241.1 140.174.241.20 255.255.255.255 ------- 5. Create an empty file /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup (just so it won't complain), or if you need that file for other reasons, add the four "ttyd" labels with nothing after them. 6. Create the file /usr/local/bin/ppplogin as follows: ------- #!/bin/csh # set tty=`tty | sed "s/\/dev\///"` /usr/sbin/ppp -direct $tty ------- 7. Update the name server. If you are maintaining a name server for the block of addresses, you should update the reverse entries so that the IP addresses above resolve to names and vice versa. Some remote sites insist on this before they will let anyone do anything. 8. You will have to update whatever router is upstream to use the FreeBSD box as a gateway for the four PPP addresses. In the above example, the following command can be used to update the router: ------- route add 140.174.241.16/29 en0 140.174.241.1 ------- or whatever the appropriate syntax is. This defines a 3-bit subnet for the dial-in lines and routes packets to those addresses through the FreeBSD machine.

If anyone can help, it would be appreciated. # # GENERIC -- Generic machine with WD/AHx/NCR/BTx family disks # # $Id: GENERIC,v 1.46 1995/06/11 19:31:11 rgrimes Exp $ # machine "i386" cpu "I386_CPU" cpu "I486_CPU" cpu "I586_CPU" ident BELOVED maxusers 10 options MATH_EMULATE #Support for x87 emulation options INET #InterNETworking options FFS #Berkeley Fast Filesystem #options NFS #Network Filesystem options MSDOSFS #MSDOS Filesystem #options "CD9660" #ISO 9660 Filesystem options PROCFS #Process filesystem options "COMPAT_43" #Compatible with BSD 4.3 #options "SCSI_DELAY=15" #Be pessimistic about Joe SCSI device options BOUNCE_BUFFERS #include support for DMA bounce buffers options UCONSOLE #Allow users to grab the console options COMPAT_LINUX options SYSVSHM options SYSVSEM options SYSVMSG config kernel root on wd0 controller isa0 controller pci0 controller fdc0 at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 vector fdintr disk fd0 at fdc0 drive 0 #disk fd1 at fdc0 drive 1 #tape ft0 at fdc0 drive 2 controller wdc0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 vector wdintr disk wd0 at wdc0 drive 0 #disk wd1 at wdc0 drive 1 #controller wdc1 at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 vector wdintr #disk wd2 at wdc1 drive 0 #disk wd3 at wdc1 drive 1 #controller ncr0 #controller ahc0 #controller bt0 at isa? port "IO_BT0" bio irq ? vector btintr #controller uha0 at isa? port "IO_UHA0" bio irq ? drq 5 vector uhaintr #controller ahc1 at isa? bio irq ? vector ahcintr #controller ahb0 at isa? bio irq ? vector ahbintr #controller aha0 at isa? port "IO_AHA0" bio irq ? drq 5 vector ahaintr #controller aic0 at isa? port 0x340 bio irq 11 vector aicintr #controller nca0 at isa? port 0x1f88 bio irq 10 vector ncaintr #controller nca1 at isa? port 0x350 bio irq 5 vector ncaintr #controller sea0 at isa? bio irq 5 iomem 0xc8000 iosiz 0x2000 vector seaintr device psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector psmintr #controller scbus0 #device sd0 #device st0 #device cd0 #Only need one of these, the code dynamically grows #device wt0 at isa? port 0x300 bio irq 5 drq 1 vector wtintr #device mcd0 at isa? port 0x300 bio irq 10 vector mcdintr #device mcd1 at isa? port 0x340 bio irq 11 vector mcdintr #controller matcd0 at isa? port ? bio #device scd0 at isa? port 0x230 bio # syscons is the default console driver, resembling an SCO console device sc0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector scintr # Enable this and PCVT_FREEBSD for pcvt vt220 compatible console driver #device vt0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector pcrint #options "PCVT_FREEBSD=210" # pcvt running on FreeBSD 2.1 #options XSERVER # include code for XFree86 device npx0 at isa? port "IO_NPX" irq 13 vector npxintr device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty irq 4 vector siointr device sio1 at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3 vector siointr #device sio2 at isa? port "IO_COM3" tty irq 5 vector siointr #device sio3 at isa? port "IO_COM4" tty irq 9 vector siointr device lpt0 at isa? port? tty irq 7 vector lptintr #device lpt1 at isa? port? tty #device lpt2 at isa? port? tty # Order is important here due to intrusive probes, do *not* alphabetize # this list of network interfaces until the probes have been fixed. # Right now it appears that the ie0 must be probed before ep0.
