You'd be better off getting one of the NCR/Smybios based cards. The 2920 is not a busmaster card... The Asus SC810 can be had for as little as $60, of course you need a motherboard that can boot with this card as it has no BIOS.

What am I doing wrong? You assumed that FreeBSD is Linux :-) You should be aware of some differences during install: o You need only one disk partition to install FreeBSD. This partition (called "slice" in FreeBSD parlance) holds both swap and file systems. o The disk partition MUST be a primary partition. FreeBSD won't install on a logical partition. If this does not help, provide us with more detailed information about your hardware configuration, FreeBSD release and your desired disk layout.

It seldom crashes (per two month or so). Normally, when telnet session stops and is closed, the server is normal. And stop at one telnet session doesn't have effect on the other telnet session.

I don't particularly care about busmaster, booting off the card, etc. All I'm ever planning to drive with this card is a CD-ROM and a Jaz drive, and I don't particularly care about high performance on these devices (the JAZ is only used for archival storage, and I don't care if it takes 8 seconds vs. 4 to move a .tar.gz file onto it, etc.). I've got (E)IDE HD's in my system that I'm perfectly happy with. Anyway, it's only a 5x86-133. If I ever upgrade to my Pentium II dream system, I'll surely have a bit more cash to play with, so then I'll get the 2940 for performance. Right now I just want something that works. Besides, I have NOT been able to find any NCR/SymBIOS cards. Well, I take that back: I've seen a LOT of cards but I'm not sure what chips they have in them, and when I ask, all I get is "Duuuhhhhh...?" So I guess my original question stands: is the AHA-2920 supported by any version of FreeBSD (or any patch thereof)? And I have another question to add: I know NCR/SymBIOS chips are used in a lot of 3rd-party cards? Can anyone give me a list of which manufacturer/models have the NCR/SymBIOS chip in them?

It'd be easier to help you if you provided all the relevant information, such as: - 'dmesg' output (at least the NIC part) - ifconfig settings from /etc/sysconfig or /etc/rc.conf - 'ifconfig -au' output - contents of /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/host.conf Also, the IP address you are using is in the multicast range, which is hardly what you want. You may choose IP addresses in the following ranges (from RFC1918 "Address Allocation for Private Internets", section 3 "Private Address Space"): The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of the IP address space for private internets: 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix) 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix) 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix) (end quote) Appropriate subnetnet masks can be deduced from the prefixes. The most commonly used address range for a small LAN such as yours is 10.0.0.0 - 10.0.0.255 with a netmask of 0xffffff00. -- * Finrod (INTJ) * Unix weenie * dag-erli@ifi.uio.no * cellular +47-92835919 * RFC1123: "Be liberal in what you accept, and conservative in what you send" From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Nov 16 10:34:08 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id KAA05042 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 16 Nov 1997 10:34:08 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from milehigh.denver.net (milehigh.denver.net [204.144.180.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id KAA05028 for ; Sun, 16 Nov 1997 10:34:06 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jdc@milehigh.denver.net) Received: (from jdc@localhost) by milehigh.denver.net (8.8.7/8.8.5) id LAA11339; Sun, 16 Nov 1997 11:34:26 -0700 (MST) Message-ID: <19971116113425.49177@denver.net> Date: Sun, 16 Nov 1997 11:34:25 -0700 From: John-David Childs To: Donald Burr Cc: questions@freeBSD.org Subject: Re: Status of Adaptec AHA-2920?

Thanks! > There are unofficial hacks by Michael Ranner at http://www.sbox.tu-graz.ac.at/home/rmike/freebsd/ for 2.2.2 (and maybe later). For 2.2.5-RELEASE, those sources (and a few more details about how to unpack/use them) are in the /xperimnt directory of the 2.2.5-RELEASE source tree (e.g. ftp://ftp.freebsd.org://pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5-RELEASE/xperimnt) I am using them right now with 2.2-STABLE (Nov 1 kernel). That said, do as I say and not as I did and save the few extra bucks for a higher quality SCSI card...you'll thank yourself for the performance gain :) (I use the 2920 at home, but I certainly wouldn't want to put it on ANY machine I intend for semi-public or public consumption). AFAIK the 2920 source hack uses NetBSD/PAO SCSI/kernel structures and thus hasn't/won't get integrated into the mainstream FreeBSD code until they work with the native FreeBSD structures. > Donald Burr - Ask me for my PGP key | PGP: Your > WWW HomePage: http://DonaldBurr.base.org/ ICQ #1347455 | right to > Address: P.O.

I am (maybe) in the market for a new computer. I have been considering a Micron dual P200MHZ pros, 64MB ECC EDO RAM, ultra-wide SCSI, Number Nine Revolution 3D vid card w/4MB ram, and it comes with a "fast ethernet 10/100 pci network adapter". Doesn't say what kind of e-net card. What ethernet cards do you recommend? I am not looking for super-fast-expensive-utra here, just a reliable, well-supported, *robust* card. Also, does X support the Number Nine Revolution card? It doesn't seem to be there in the cards database, so I don't know. Since this machine (which will be used as both an over-the-net server and a personal machine) would have two proccessors, I would need an SMP kernel. I guess that means 3.0, which is fine with me. My next question would be: Is 3.0 on CD-ROM? If not, does anyone know when it will be?

They have published a client kit for Linux as a totally unsupported free download. If you want to construct a cross-compiling environment for Linux executables (a.out) you should be albe to write Client Library applications that will run under FreeBSD's Linux emulation. Probably a better choice (among several non-optimal options) would be to write your stuff to run natively on the Sun, then split it with ONC RPC and run the part with the exposed interfaces on the FreeBSD web server and let RPC hide the fact that part of it is running remotely on the Sun box. O'Reilly has a book called "Power Programming with RPC" that you would find very helpful if you decided to go this route. Another quick and dirty option would be to run your SQL queries via an rsh'd session of isql. You can clean up the output via a piped awk process. Definitely not the most efficient method, but it would work for low volume queries. Good luck. -rs > > I need a way of connecting our FreeBSD webserver to a Sybase Database > (running on a Sun).

AFAIK, editing the Makefile is a standard way to handle this sort of thing. An alternative is to delete the directory, in this case perl (in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin) and its contents. Deleting the directory you don't want to build works for handling "make worlds" that quit somewhere because there's something temporarily wrong with the code. It's useful to have a file that's recorded the errors so you know where it quit and why. You can then start over with "make -DNOCLEAN world" or finish by hand, that is, you go into each directory below /usr/src and do "make depend", "make", and "make install". At least that's what worked for me. If you delete a directory or delete its name from the Makefile, whatever was there before (e.g., maybe there's already a copy of perl in /usr/bin from an earlier install, or a symlink) will remain there and will also be available to be used if some part of the build process or whatever needs it. This could create problems because of dependencies and different versions, but then again maybe there won't be any problems.

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. 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. 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.

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 (at the time of writing the only edition that is available). If you have this book, please check this list. 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.

Can anyone mount floppies as a regular user? Do they really need to mount floppies or do they simply need to be able to read, write, and format floppies? If mounting isn't really needed look at mtools is the ports/packages. All you'll have to do is set proper permissions on the floppy devices for the proper users to be able to use mtools. And you'll never have problems with a user removing a mounted floppy. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

If I immediately dial back into my ISP and telnet back to it I can see that I am still logged in on whatever terminal I was on before, but after a few minutes that connection is terminated, is there anyway I can switch back to this terminal so I can continue downloading? Also is there any way I can start a process (e.g. a ftp transfer) then disconnect and have it continue executing? Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Depending on what version of ircd you're using, there are options in /include/config.h that would let you specify a uid and gid to for the binary. Another option would be a script that su's to a "regular" user, or a cron job that tests to see if the server is running, and starts it if it's not (the cron job running as a user of course).

I wouldn't have sent it to the list again so soon except it's small. :) Doug A while ago there was a discussion about moving the ability to work with more than 8 character usernames in the 2.2 branch. I decided to give it a go on my test system, and it's working fine. I thought I'd pass this info on in case anyone else is interested in trying it. First off, to make it work edit /usr/src/sys/sys/param.h, changing MAXLOGNAME to 18, and /usr/src/include/utmp.h changing UT_NAMESIZE to 16. Now do a make world. :) This will let you have usernames of 16 charachters or less. It was originally reported that the value of MAXLOGNAME should be 17, but when I tried that I got an error from setusercontext( ) when I tried logging in with a 16 char username, although a 15 char username worked. So far everything seems pretty happy with the 16 character names. The ps has a problem with lining things up, and gnuls truncates the names to 8. Anyone have a suggestion about gnuls? I really like it, but not seeing the whole uid/gid is getting confusing. :) I'm going to try colorls when I get a chance. FreeBSD's ls handles the long names just fine after the make world. The only other thing I had to change so far was adduser. There is a check to see if the username is >8 characters, I just changed it to 16 (once in the code, and once in the warning message) and it worked fine. *** Proud operator, designer and maintainer of the world's largest *** Internet Relay Chat server. 4,168 clients and still growing. :-) *** Try spider.dal.net on ports 6662-4 (Powered by FreeBSD) *** Part of the DALnet IRC network *** From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Nov 16 19:43:38 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id TAA07340 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 16 Nov 1997 19:43:38 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from ocala.cs.miami.edu (ocala.cs.miami.edu [129.171.34.17]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id TAA07334 for ; Sun, 16 Nov 1997 19:43:31 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jmcla@ocala.cs.miami.edu) Received: from ocala.cs.miami.edu by ocala.cs.miami.edu via SMTP (950413.SGI.8.6.12/940406.SGI) for id WAA26819; Sun, 16 Nov 1997 22:43:29 -0500 Date: Sun, 16 Nov 1997 22:43:29 -0500 (EST) From: "Joe \"Marcus\" Clarke" To: FreeBSD User Questions List Subject: Re: switching terminals once logged in (fwd) Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk You can issue any UNIX command preceeded by nohup to get it to run even if you are disconnected.

There are several Linux libs and at least one of them is trying to keep it system-independent.

This would be a neat item for our `sales items' on the front of the FreeBSD web page, kind of like `how this company uses our product' type of articles you see on most vendor homepages. ;-) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Nov 16 22:58:28 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id WAA17200 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 16 Nov 1997 22:58:28 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id WAA17195 for ; Sun, 16 Nov 1997 22:58:26 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id WAA09697; Sun, 16 Nov 1997 22:58:08 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Date: Sun, 16 Nov 1997 22:58:08 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: Doug White To: Motonori Shindo cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Akia Tornado TX233 In-Reply-To: <199711151638.BAA00634@taurus.ascend.co.jp> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Sun, 16 Nov 1997, Motonori Shindo wrote: > Hi, all, > > Did anyone succeed to get Akia Tornado TX233 to work with FreeBSD?

Assuming you have the standard mail setup: You need to get a POP client to read your mail off of your mail server and onto your local box. Netscape's Mail component can do this. The programs `popclient' and `fetchmail' can grab mail off of your POP server and put it into your local mail spool; they are in the ports tree in the mail category (Http://www.freebsd.org/ports/mail.html).

Yes, I know. But both card I tried are supported by vanilla FreeBSD GENERIC kernel. One thing I'm not sure is that whether CardBus capability (Akia Tornado TX233 does support CardBus!) doesn't affect the PCMCIA Ethernet on FreeBSD or not.

The FreeBSD can dial-up and download the necessary pieces at install time, but over a 14.4 modem it'll take several hours when you could batch-download them at 2am instead.

It depends on how the program is implemented. If it's like any good X app, then the close window command will be mapped to the exit/quit command so both will do any cleanup before exiting. Some don't follow this. If you're unsure, then used the provided quit command.

My research doesn't show any support for the TMC-16xx cards under FreeBSD at current. You might try reconfiguring the sea driver with the resource info for your card.

The change was made in -CURRENT ages ago, but wasn't backported to 2.2 since it's a major change. If you make the change you must `make world' again and expect to loose utmp/wtmp/other username-length-based files. This includes rebuilding X since xlogin only recognizes 8 char usernames. Some other programs may have hard-coded values.

Could you > please direct me to the information that I need. The main problem is if you need to create a partition table or not. For maximum compatibility you want to, but you can't use the entire disk because of limitations in the partition table. However, some OSs and boot managers need to have it otherwise they think the disklabel is garbage and overwrite it. For safety, turn it on; if the machine is dedicated FreeBSD then don't bother.

Look around /usr/src (if you have it installed) and you'll find it (I'm not writing this at a FreeBSD machine right now, sorry). However, fetch makes heavy use of libftpio, which is a library that's only found on FreeBSD machines, AFAIK. This means that it's not really portable :-( You can still give it a try, but be prepared for some work.

The offending code would seem to be around line 2121 in "ls.c": if (numeric_users) sprintf (p, "%-8u ", (unsigned int) f->stat.st_uid); else sprintf (p, "%-8.8s ", getuser (f->stat.st_uid)); You might try doing a 'make extract' and 'make patch' on the gnuls port, then modifying that section of code to look like this: if (numeric_users) sprintf (p, "%-*u ", MAXLOGNAME - 2, (unsigned int) f->stat.st_uid); else sprintf (p, "%-*.*s ", MAXLOGNAME - 2, MAXLOGNAME - 2, getuser (f->stat.st_uid)); Then rebuild the port. If it works, let me know, and I'll add it to the list of patches in the port; better yet, just send me a `diff -c' on "ls.c". I'd try it here, but it wouldn't prove anything, since I'm using stock 2.2.2-RELEASE on my systems. ----- Brian Clapper, bmc@WillsCreek.COM, http://WWW.WillsCreek.COM/ An NT server can be run by an idiot, and usually is. - Tom Holub (Posted to comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix on 03 Sep 1997) From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 17 05:31:24 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id FAA10801 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 17 Nov 1997 05:31:24 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from mail.inconnect.com (mail.inconnect.com [207.0.50.7] (may be forged)) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id FAA10795 for ; Mon, 17 Nov 1997 05:31:22 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from gribnif@inconnect.com) Received: (qmail 9872 invoked from network); 17 Nov 1997 13:31:19 -0000 Received: from 1-52.dialup.inconnect.com (HELO gamer.hexen.com) (209.140.67.51) by mail.inconnect.com with SMTP; 17 Nov 1997 13:31:19 -0000 From: "Jason Morrow" To: "Doug White" Cc: Subject: Re: help!

One stange thing happened though and I was curious if anyone had any ideas. I have two hard drives. #1 has OS2 and linux aand number 2 has freebsd. I use the os2 boot manager to boot my different OS's. When I was done with the upgrade it told me to remove the floopy and then reboot. When I did this it would go through my typical boot process but then right before boot manager would come up, I would get a prompt that said press any key to reboot. I had to use my os2 bootup disc and what solved the problem was reinstalling os2 boot manager. Everything worked fine after that. Can anyone think of a reason why this upgrade should give me this problem when boot manager is not on the same disc as freebsd.

I believe it would be much less painless to use the ncftp(1) program's "colon-mode" than it would be to port fetch(1). If this has to do with your previous question, just prefix the ncftp(1) command with nohup(1). For example, nohup ncftp ftp.somewhere.edu:/pub/myfile You can check nohup.out for pertinent messages.

I do floppy installs all the time. Works great..... but a tad slow. The minimum install calls for the boot disk and /bin files. As a working machine, I would suggest you also add /manpages. Those are all you really need. After that, it might be worthwhile to tar off the ports tree, and selectively add a few chosen ports. For example, I use postscript printers, so I gotta have a2ps-letter. You might also add the gmake and automake and autoconf ports if you do any gnustuff building. You might add a preferred mailer (pine, elm, or somesuch). If you do much writing, you might want a TeX port, although you can add many of these as packages from the packages trees by tarring off onto floppies, and pkg_adding them, after untarring into a work directory somewhere. Packages conserve some space, relative to ports, but are more dated compared to ports. Generally, I like to have the sources around, that come along in a ports build. Those would constitute a minimal comfy working machine. On my boxes, I usually have a bin and a manpages set, and about half a dozen addin floppies with my pet ports. That is all that is really needed for a fine plain lowendian dumbdumb FreeBSD machine. If you are into X and webscraping, then you need to add the X files and whatever your favorite webscraper is. If you do that, it is probably better to find a network you can attach to somewhere, and do it via the net, or use a cdrom for that. In general, you probably don't need the sources trees for floppy installs. I have not had need of rebuilding the sources on remote boxes, yet. If you do, it might be better to tar off the sources on tarball floppies, and untar into a temporary directory and invoke the install script. After you have the machine up on bin, working with dos floppies is slower than from tarballs, in my hands. For a floppy install, make sure you have enough disk space to make it worthwhile. I can get by with a tiny install in a 20M root, a 20M var, a 16M swap, and a 81M /usr filesystem set. That amounts to 137 megs. I would recommend you allow at least 100 megs in the /usr filesystem to be minimally comfy, especially if you add in a few things. More than that is gravy. A good working lowendian machine in my hands usually needs a 160 meg HD for FreeBSD, as the minimum, with 250 megs as a good target to shoot for as comfy. Beyond that is lotsa gravy. Also, make sure your machine has a minimum of 8 megs ram to install in. It won't in less, anymore, in my hands. 8 megs ram with 160 megs HD is a fine tiny FreeBSD machine if you don't do much heavy compiling or X, and watch your filesystem spaces. Good Luck!

It is exploited by locking the cpu into a loop that contains the xchgl opcode. "The exchange instruction (xchgl) on the 6x86 will lock the cpu bus and effectively disable interrupts during its execution. It seems that the combination of speculative execution and register renaming plus out-of-order execution and the intelligent pipelines in the 6x86 will prevent interrupt servicing during the execution of the movl and jmp instructions. Consequently interrupts routines never get called and the processor is effectively locked in a loop that runs in its cache line." According to a Linux web page (www.tux.org/~balsa/linux/cyrix/p11.html), the problem can be prevented by setting the NO_LOCK bit in CCR1. They do this by using the command "set6x86 -p 0xc1 -s 0x10".

When it came up it asked me if I wanted to boot to DOS or to the second drive, it started booting up into freeBSD by loading the kernel of the right drive etc, but then my whole screen is filled with garbage signs or ascII junk in different colors and that's as far as I get. I am stuck and have no idea what's going on! I did install Freebsd on my old DOS drive before and it worked fine! Any help or ideas what could be causing this would be much appreciated!

I finally got FBSD to install (made a DOS partition and it figured out the disk geometry). It booted exactly TWO times. The third time it went past the FBSD initial boot screen (not sure what it is called.... where there is the bold something or another at the bottom with some URL.... that's probably not helpful). Anyway, when it tried to go to the next screen it totally locked up with ASCII characters all over the place.... I could piece together some words (don't remember what they were) but the screen was covered in characters. I couldn't even reboot (even the reset button) I had to power down and then back up again. It also came up with something like: Can't load de0: cable problem? The two times it *did* boot.... Did that mean that it couldn't find my Ethernet *card* or couldn't make any connection?

Look at 'man ls'. This does not control access to the file or prevent someone from seeing the file with the ls command or special shell expansions. Try this: ls ls -a echo * echo .* What do you really mean by 'hide files', deny access? If so, look at 'man chmod' or get a basic Unix user's guide or script user's guide. O'Reilly puts out a couple of good ones. You can deny access to directorys or files by permissions on files. Look at group membership and file permissions. 'man group'. One way to 'hide' files is to put them into a directory that only the owner has read access. That way, no one other than the owner can see the files. If the directory name starts with '.', then the default ls command and shell expansions will not see the directory. No one other than the owner or someone with root permissions can see the files in the directory. tomdean From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 17 11:38:32 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id LAA06701 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 17 Nov 1997 11:38:32 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id LAA06696 for ; Mon, 17 Nov 1997 11:38:30 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id LAA10684; Mon, 17 Nov 1997 11:38:25 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Date: Mon, 17 Nov 1997 11:38:24 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: Doug White To: Marcus Tse cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: connect to internet server In-Reply-To: <19971117160008.9923.rocketmail@send1b.yahoomail.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Mon, 17 Nov 1997, Marcus Tse wrote: > i recently bought the freebsd, i know that the "dip" function can > connect to the slip server, but the problem is that i got the "dip" > directory on the "usr/..", but i have no "dip" function aviliable for > use also i can't see any description on the manapage. > could u told me how to reinstall this function, because i try alot of > time to get into the "/stand/sysinstall" to reinstall the "gdip" > option .

I have a problem. I'm trying to convert a very big number (much bigger than 64 bit) from hex or decimal base into a 36-base (which means, last character is a Z instead of an F in the hexadecimal system). I also need to reconvert this number to decimal or hex. I looked at the sources of dc and bc and couldn't find out how they're doing it, so maybe someone can tell me how to do it in C. I want to avoid using doubles because of rounding errors and what I could see in dc & bc, these programs also don't use double for it. So how to do it ? Can anyone help me ?

The raw floppy device is accessed via /dev/rfd0 (second drive would be rfd1). For example, one might use the dd utility to create an image file from a 1.44M floppy "dd if=/dev/rfd0 of=image.flp bs=36b". If the floppy has a filesystem, you can mount it... mount /dev/fd0 /mnt (if it is ufs) mount_msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt (if it is MSDOS(FAT)) in order to access its file and directory structure. See also the man pages for these commands and remember to umount before removing it from the drive!

Most of the answers are in the book "Unix System Administration Handbook" by Nemeth, et.al. The answers are also in the man pages. From these questions, you may benefit from reading an introductory-level book on using a Unix system, and definitely from reading the "Unix System Administration Handbook" I will try to point out where I see the answers online. The man pages also list pointers to more information. Following these links is frequently helpful. >1. What is the essential difference between the following files > .cshrc > .login > .profile >From 'man csh' An instance of csh begins by executing commands from the file /etc/csh.cshrc and, if this is a login shell, /etc/csh.login. It then ex- ecutes commands from .cshrc in the home directory of the invoker, and, if this is a login shell, the file .login in the same location. It is typi- cal for users on crt's to put the command ``stty crt'' in their .login file, and to also invoke tset(1) there. >From 'man sh' A login shell first reads commands from the files /etc/profile and .profile if they exist. >2. How do I set things up to use bash or bash2 as my shell look at 'man chsh', 'man passwd', or 'man login'. Follow the links from these man pages for information on how this all works. >3.

You may see something like 'wmgr=twm' in the middle of the file and 'exec $wmgr' at the end of the file. 'exec $wmgr' should be the last line in ~/.xinitrc. Look at things like 'man X' look at 'man aaaa', where aaaa is some of the files in something like /usr/X11R6/man/man1. The exact path depends on how your system is setup. >4.

The danger of this is that commands in the tree relative to the current directory may be executed with root privileges. >5. How do I change the hostname on the machine. several ways. But, be careful! Be sure you want to. Look at 'man hostname' try cd /etc grep * edit the related files, changing the host name.

Its my first experience with a Unix operating system other then periodic use of shell accounts on ISP's and I'm really happy with it. Anyway, I'm having a problem with the boot manager that none of my other sources could help me with. Originally I was running Win'95 on a single 520MB hdd. I recently got a 3.5GB drive and installed FreeBSD on it. When I installed FreeBSD I took the Windows drive out of my computer just to be safe (I didn't quite know what I was doing and didn't want to wipe out my data). When I ran the install program I accepted the option to install the boot manager so that I could optionally boot from the windows drive. Now when I put the Windows drive back into my computer with it set as Primary Slave and the FreeBSD drive set as Master the bootmanager gives me the option to press F1 for BSD and F5 for the second drive. Problem is, is that it always boots from the FreeBSD drive regardless of what key I press. What can I do to fix this, it's a real pain having to switch drives all the time.

When the local or foreign address has stars, this indicates an unconnected wildcard PCB. In the above example, there is something listening for new connections on port 2257 on the local address 'colonel' (it might make more sense to use the '-n' option with netstat so that addresses and ports come out numerically). The '-a' option is also useful and displays info on all PCBs. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 17 17:00:34 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id RAA29937 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 17 Nov 1997 17:00:34 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id RAA29927 for ; Mon, 17 Nov 1997 17:00:31 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id RAA11199; Mon, 17 Nov 1997 17:00:29 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Date: Mon, 17 Nov 1997 17:00:29 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: Doug White To: Russ Button cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: setting a serial port as system console In-Reply-To: <34709A4A.8150495C@captech.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Mon, 17 Nov 1997, Russ Button wrote: > I'm considering using a PC with FreeBSD as a web server. > I'm going to be co-locating it at my company, so it is > essential that I minimize the "footprint" it takes up. > I want to configure it so that a serial port, COM1 or > COM2 I suppose, will be the system console.

Akia Tornado TX233 doen't come with any PCMCIA Ethernet card. I tried the following two cards which I already had in hand: 1) IBM's Ethernet II 2) 3Com's EtherLink III (3C589C Rev.D)) > > One thing I'm not sure is that whether CardBus capability (Akia > > Tornado TX233 does support CardBus!) doesn't affect the PCMCIA > > Ethernet on FreeBSD or not. > > That is a good thing, actually; I've had a hell of a time getting Win95 > machines with CardBus to pick up Ethernet cards. I started to install Win95 (OSR2.1) back to the machine. (Like most of the *BSD people do, I have already wiped out the pre-installed Win95:-)) Then I found that Akia Tornado TX233's PCMCIA doesn't work with the stock Win95 PCMCIA driver. Presumably due to a CardBus capability, it does require a newer version of PCMCIA/CardBus driver in a floppy disk that comes with the box. I haven't figured out what PCMCIA contoller it has, but now I feel that I need a newer PCMCIA driver to get FreeBSD to work with Tornado TX233. What is the status of the PCMCIA/CardBus driver development in FreeBSD? ===================================== Motonori Shindo Systems Engineer Ascend Communications Japan K.K. email: mshindo@ascend.co.jp TEL: +81-3-5325-7306 ===================================== From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 17 18:55:57 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id SAA09030 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 17 Nov 1997 18:55:57 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from mail.airmail.net (mail.airmail.net [206.66.12.40]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id SAA09017 for ; Mon, 17 Nov 1997 18:55:54 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from mceder@airmail.net) Received: from mceder from [207.136.46.251] by mail.airmail.net (/\##/\ Smail3.1.30.16 #30.216) with smtp for id ; Mon, 17 Nov 97 20:55:53 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <3.0.32.19971117205545.00695608@mail.airmail.net> X-Sender: mceder@mail.airmail.net X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) Date: Mon, 17 Nov 1997 20:55:47 -0700 To: Doug White From: Mikael Cederberg Subject: Re: Screen totally messed up after reboot.

The graphics card is a Cirrus Logic 5434 PCI. The computer is an Acer pentium motherboard. 16mb RAM. Primary IDE controller got a maxtor 514MB running windows95 as a master and a mitsumi 4x cdrom as a slave. The secondary IDE controller got a samsung 3.2GB set up as a master with FBSD installed. It is when i boot of the samsung that this problem is happening. It gets to where it asks from where it should boot the kernel.. it goes to the default ( 1:wd(1,a)kernel ) and then types out a line that says text=0x12a 006 and then another line that goes away to quick to see. The next thing - the whole screen is filled with ascii signs in different colors.. Now, another thing I want to mention.. My bios doesnt appear to be supporting the 3.2 gig samsung fully.. it finds it with all the sectors, but I had problems installing it as a dos partition before. A friend tried the same drive on another computer and it worked fine - so it appears that the drive is correct. But from what I heard, FreeBSD doesnt care about the BIOS..

I am doing some kernel hacking on a remote freebsd machine. This machine has a serial console hooked up to another machine connected to the net. I use the serial console to debug with DDB. This setup works fine, but there are situations where my new kernel will crash before it's finished booting. If I 'panic' or otherwise reboot the machine from DDB, the same bad kernel will boot up. Is there a way to specify the kernel to use when booting from the serial console as you can with a boot option from the "real" console?

The active partition bit may have been reset and something wasn't happy. If you had the OS/2 manager already installed, you didn't need to install a new one. You overwrote it anyway so that was the correct thing to do.

Using DOS FDISK, wipe out the FreeBSD slice and create a small primary DOS slice. 2. Boot the FreeBSD boot disk, remove the DOS partition, and install FreeBSD over it. Booteasy should pick up the proper geometry.

Either one will help you greatly, and will give you a default environment that is more workable than just running the X server.

I installed a "2.2.5-STABLE" kernel on a 2.2.5-RELEASE system (CVSup-ed only a "sys" distribution). I'm using "mgetty" with USR Courier 33.6 modem. Host sometimes prints /kernel: b_to_q to a clist with no reserved cblocks on ttyv0. I have no panic due to this (do not know the frequency of that messages because the message has no date stamp, and I'm looking at the ttyv0 once a week). I'm using UUCP and dialing provider every hour. Maybe, that message appears every hour (when using UUCP). Also, I'm using "ppp -auto provider". Seems like when the "ppp" is running, messages do not appear. In one reply to "b_to_q to a clist" question on FreeBSD-Questions I noticed, that this looks like (non-fatal) kernel bug. So, I can try to generate a dump and send you a stack trace (do you need it?). Thank you! Sergei S.

No, it doesn't, at least for me. Also, AFAIK, there's no such thing as PostScript 3. Why do you say that? The first line of a PostScript file (something like %!PS-Adobe-3.0) does not specify the version of the language it is written in. It specifies the level of the Structured Document Formatting Convention it complies with. The printer couldn't care less about this version, and anyhow, version 3.0 first appeared in the 2nd edition of the PostScript Language Reference Manual (Red book) that described PostScript Level 2 (highly recommended reading, if you like programming in PostScript :-) ). > > Are there are any filters or some other tricks and magic you can suggest to > try in order to convert 3.0 postscript files to 2.0?

It turns out that others are having the same problem; see the thread "System Commander problems" in newsgroup comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc. Anyway, here's what I've found out: After installing Free BSD 2.2.2, all attempts to boot the newly installed OS using System Commander fail with a "No bootable partition" message. I then de- installed System Commander, and re- installed FreeBSD, this time using its "Install MBR" option ... and it worked! I could boot FreeBSD. However, when I re- installed System Commander and tried to boot my newly installed FreeBSD using that, I was once again back to the "No bootable partition" message. Now, System Commander has a bad habit of ****ing around with the System Indicator byte in partition table entries (it loves to set bit 4), with the result that what was 0x09 becomes 0x19, what was 0xA5 becomes 0xB5, etc. - but that doesn't seem to bother any other OS I'm running - Linux, OS/2 Warp, MSDOS, and SCO. System Commander also provides a "Boot through MBR" option in which a file containing MBR data is read into memory, and control transfers to that. I had saved the MBR containing "Booteasy" and tried that. Sure enough, I could select it from System Commander's menu, and FreeBSD would boot. However, on rebooting, SC was out of the picture, and I was once again back to Booteasy. Thanks to help from Doug White (dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu), I was able to find the applicable sources and identify the cause of the problems. I looked into Booteasy and found that it writes itself "back" to the boot sector on the first drive each time it's invoked so's to save the (possibly) new default boot selection. This explains why System Commander so quickly disappears without a trace when its "Load using MBR" option is selected. The second thing I observe about "Booteasy" is that all it really does (after writing itself back to the first block of the first drive) is load one block from a specified partition - or load the MBR of the second drive - and transfer control to it. Patching the saved "Booteasy" MBR so that it didn't write itself back to disk returned me to the "No bootable partition" problem - but did prevent SC from disappearing. The next part of the problem was found by examining the function boot1 in an assembly source file called start.S contained in the directory /pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-stable/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot. This is the code that is loaded by the MBR code. boot1 reads the MBR record and scans the partition table for a System Indicator byte of type 0xA5. If one is found, additional boot code is read in from that partition. If one is not found, the "No bootable partition" message is issued and processing halts. (A potential problem here is that the search stops at the 1st BSD partition - apparently precluding booting from another BSD partition on the same drive.) To see if SC's modified boot indicator was the problem, I once more tried to boot Free BSD through SC, got the "No bootable partition" message, then rebooted Linux from a floppy and used fdisk to see the partitions. Sure enough, /dev/hda3 (3rd partition drive 0), was showing a type code of 0xB5. There is really a two part problem here: One is due to a characteristic of the "Booteasy" code in the MBR, and the other is what I consider to be a bug in System Commander: i.e. it sometimes sets bit 4 of the System Indicator byte. Booteasy: My suggestion for Booteasy is to modify it so that it doesn't write itself back to disk. This has the disadvantage of no longer being able to change the default boot drive selection, but the advantage is that interoperability with other products (e.g. System Commander) is improved. It might also be a good idea to look at start.S with respect to the single bootable partition problem. Can you pass this on? Or, can I impose on you enough to ask for pointers as to how I can pass this on? System Commander: With respect to System Commander, I think V Communications should fix it so's not to muck around with the System Indicator byte.

Your copy of the JDK requires X Windows. Try to find the port (search for 'kwhite' in the mail archives) and buid from scratch, it won't require X then.

You should fsck volumes before mounting them. fsck can't fix broken fs's while they're mounted as it would probably cause a kernel panic if someone tried to open a file while you were working on it.

CVSup is a network update tool for CVS source trees. It intelligently updates trees and checked-out files for minumum network use. We use it extensively to quickly and easily update our source trees to the current state of the world. Information on setup and such is in the Handbook at http://www.freebsd.org.

I recently had to switch from a pci cyclades card to a isa cyclades card to try to prevent random server crashing. I got the device compiled into and recognized by my kernel, I unpatched (I think) the pci drivers, but I cannot get ANY of my connections to work. When I dial up, it just hangs at a blank white screen (windows 95 dialup). I am not getting any conversation with the server going. What I need to know is, can I reinstall any certain portion of the getty stuff, or the pppd stuff or whatever to try to get my MAKEDEV to make the proper devices so this will work? I think what has happened is that some things were patched by the PCI version that are not getting put back to right, therefore the cyclades is not talking to the server and getting the getty running. I could try putting back the pci cyclades but I don't see how that will help me. I just have no idea what files, directories, etc., are tapped in this process, so I probably need to somehow put back some original files to make this work. I sure would appreciate any help anyone can offer in this area. This is really starting to get me down. ........................................ . Bill Beavers, Technology Coordinator . .

This is the company of the person who wrote "The Undocumented PC" book (a standard reference work used by the BSD community). Clearly, it's depending on the idea that a BIOS drive ID maps to a primary parittion ID, and assuming that FreeBSD will use the %dl value instead of relying on searching the partiton table, yet again, for the ID. This works for Linux because Linux doesn't have to deal with a "dangerously dedicated" mode -- and fails for FreeBSD for the same reason. Arguably, FreeBSD is correct; use of a partition table places an 8G limit on the drive size, and FreeBSD's method means that it does not suffer this restriction (of course, LBA mode would do the same thing, yielding 32 bits * 512 bytes per sector as a limit). I believe "system commander" does this twiddle to "remember" which partition was booted last. You seeing this problem is probably endemic to your use of a third primary parition for FreeBSD: BIOS does not support more than two primary partitions reported (0x80, 0x81) in %dl.

The Zip (and the Jaz too for that matter) doesn't implement MODE SENSE so it returns the error. Note that the disk size is correct. Check my disk formatting page at http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/diskformat/ for how to properly format these for UFS.

Let's take a different approach. Since you do not seem to have a method picked let me suggest one and we'll see where that gets us. I am assuming that you are using some DOS variety of an OS like DOS, WIN3.1 or WIN95. Step 1: Bare bone files and directories needed for download. All these directories/files must be downloaded into C:\FREEBSD directory. Goto ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5-RELEASE and download: INSTALL.TXT - Read this file (Please!!!) /bin - basic FreeBSD binaries /compat1x /compat20 /compat21 /floppies /tools /manpages Step 2: Before the installation takes place you'll have to find some room on your hard drive for FreeBSD. Around 300Meg will work well, but essentually it depends on which parts of FreeBSD you want to have local on your machine. Once room is found you'll have to create a partition for FreeBSD on your existing hard drive or use a two hard drives setup. Step 3: You'll have to create a bootable floppy of FreeBSD. To do that you'll need three things. A blank 1.44 floppy a program called fdimage.exe and a file called boot.flp. Stick the blank floppy into an A: drive and at the C:> propt type: C:\FREEBSD\TOOLS\FDIMAGE C:\FREEBSD\FLOPPIES\BOOT.FLP A: Step 4: Reboot your machine. Step 5: Follow instructions on the screen. Good Luck. Rudy. P.S. You might want to consider using an FTP program to do the download, instead of Netscape. Also, ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/docs/ contains the handbook.ascii and FAQ.ascii files I keep talking about. ---Will wrote: > > I was using Netscape to download the files....and i have read all the FAQs > and it doesnt help me. > > Will > > Rudy Gireyev wrote: > > > I'm sorry to sound difficult but that question is very generic. > > Let me explain why.

I have 3 computers total on my network, The FreeBSD machine which is connected to the modem and 2 Windows 95 Machines and the windows 95 machines seem to work fine on IRC, WWW, FTP. But just the other day i attempted to play Quake on a server of my friends and it said it couldn't find it.. But yet everyone i knew said it was there. And another thing is that DCC Chatting cannot be initiated by ME in IRC. So the question is, Can i some how enable and alias or is there a 3rd Party program that will do a completely flawless gateway? Or do i have to have another IP address assigned to my other machines. That really isn't an option, i have already asked my ISP if i could get some static ip's but cannot. So that cant be a solution so I'm hoping there is another way to get this to work. I would appreciate any help you guys could give me.

To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello again to all. I am encountering a really strange problem, and it may be that I am missing an obvious step. Today, I just added a host to my domain: media.dcoisp.net. It is a freeBSD 2.2.5-realease box. It is running sendmail. The sendmail came with the freebsd distribution. I have successfully added the entry to my dns files, IE, the IN A records and the PTR records. Unfortunately, no remote email is getting through to this host. Local email is delivered just fine, but not remote email. I have made no changes to the sendmail.cf file or any of that since installing the software. My question is: Does there need to be an mx record in my database files for named? I wouldn't think so, since none of my other machines have mx records, and the two machines that are freebsd boxes send and receivve mail without a hitch. Here is another question. Back when I started my hole network, my isp was taking care of dns issues for me, as well as internic related issues. I have read some internic faqs and the like, and I didn't get the idea that I have to register a new host each time I add one to my network right? Only if I was making this host a nameserver would I have to register the host with the internic? The error that gets generated by the remote mailer on the remote machine is: illegal host domain found. Anyone have any ideas? Like I was saying, all the other freebsd boxes work as they should, just not this new host. Thanks.

The bus (speed and number of devices) is turning out to be the limiting factor for these pentia - we're migrating what hasn't been assimilated into the Microsoft collective to Sun UltraSparcs and E3000 class boxes just for that reason. Anyway, we have a FreeBSD router with three 100BaseTX ethernet cards on our inside net, and it works good. Then again, the nets that it connects to are nowhere near maxxed-out in terms of bandwidth. While it was putting the box together I wanted to see just how many ethernet cards I could get to work in one machine. I had some ISA 10BaseT cards laying around, so I threw two of them in and reconfigured the kernel. The fourth PCI slot was used for a SCSI card and the other ISA slot had a VGA card in it. I booted the machine and had a true, five-assed, FreeBSD router! I eventually removed the other two ISA cards when I placed the machine into production. In terms of reliability, I'd put it against any of the Netblazers that we used to have in here (those buggers would crash every couple of days, the FreeBSD box hasn't been rebooted in weeks), and would rank it slightly less reliable than a Cisco - only because the machine contains more moving parts (ie. disk to crash). As far as throughput, it ain't gonna be a Cisco, the current crop of Ciscos are using MIPS processors and have an IOS that's geared to pump packets. You'll have to do your own benchmarks, with your own environment. You may end up needing a small Cisco to actually do the job.

Everything seemed to be going well, I got to the Kernel setup screen and edited all of the hardware settings according to my system setup. I quit that, then it went on to the 'detecting' screen. It went through most of the devices, but then, after saying "wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa" a blank screen with only a cursor in the bottom left came up. It seemed to freeze up at this point, I have tried leaving it for quite some time and it still does nothing. This is a Pentium 200 MMX running Windows 95.

Most shells can be configured to display whatever you want in the prompt. Type echo $SHELL to see what shell you've got installed. I think Linux uses bash as a default. You can install bash easily as a port (probably also as a package) on FreeBSD. Another shell where it's pretty easy to get the prompt you want is tcsh, also easy to port. http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/newuser/newuser.html explains the installation of a new shell and something about setting the prompt.

You can even have multiple machines from your lan on the same server, and it was created for those of us on modems! If you try to alias the ports, only the one machine will be able to connect to the server. I've also found a quake proxy server for Freebsd, which also works well, but only one machine can connect to the same server, and it's a pain to start.

I think FreeBSD offers sh as the default shell--so if the poor user doesn't know any better, that's what he/she gets. The Linux default shell is bash, which is what the original questioner seems to be familiar with. Either bash or tcsh would be better than sh, I think; at least it would be nice to suggest installing something with a few more features than sh and csh.

No CD Rom drive so I'm working from floppies - but thats cool. I got a boot.flp disk which works fine and starts the installation procedure. I choose 'custom' and select just the bin and manpages and I tell it that floppies are incoming media. All goes smoothly until I inserted the disk containing bin.be at which point I get the message 'write failure on transfer: 1 byte of 1024 transferred'. I tried with several other floppies but same problem so am I correct in assuming that this is a corrupt file? I have grabbed half a dozen other copies from various exotic mirror sites around the globe which have exactly the same effect. Even if I run bad block scan before starting....same thing. Anyone got any ideas? Or a working copy of bin.be? thanks, Matt Greenslade From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 19 06:54:02 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id GAA20776 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 19 Nov 1997 06:54:02 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from gw1.cat.com (gw1.cat.com [198.206.246.46]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id GAA20768 for ; Wed, 19 Nov 1997 06:53:59 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from stesea@gw1.cat.com) Received: (from smap@localhost) by gw1.cat.com (8.7.6/8.7.3) id IAA05581 for ; Wed, 19 Nov 1997 08:53:16 -0600 (CST) Received: from internal.cat.com(198.88.56.255) by gw1 via smap (V2.0) id xma005557; Wed, 19 Nov 97 08:52:54 -0600 Received: from internal.cat.com by internal.cat.com with SMTP (1.37.109.16/16.2) id AA056641173; Wed, 19 Nov 1997 09:52:53 -0500 Received: from internal.cat.com by internal.cat.com (Lotus SMTP MTA v1.1 (385.6 5-6-1997)) with SMTP id 05256554.0051CAFD; Wed, 19 Nov 1997 09:53:23 -0500 Message-Id: <3472FD59.517> Date: Wed, 19 Nov 1997 09:53:14 -0500 From: Alex Steselboim X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01 (Win95; I) Mime-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: boot error Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk hello i am getting this error at startup... >> FreeBSD BOOT @ 0x10000: 640/15360 k of memory, internal console Boot default: 0:wd(0,a)kernel boot: Can't find kernel ... do you have any suggestions for me. nate johnson From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 19 07:14:47 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id HAA21710 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 19 Nov 1997 07:14:47 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from mail.airmail.net (mail.airmail.net [206.66.12.40]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id HAA21705 for ; Wed, 19 Nov 1997 07:14:45 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from kf7nn@pentium166.kf7nn.net) Received: from pentium166 from [206.66.14.149] by mail.airmail.net (/\##/\ Smail3.1.30.16 #30.216) with smtp for id ; Wed, 19 Nov 97 09:14:44 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: From: "George Vagner" To: Subject: ppp -alias Date: Wed, 19 Nov 1997 08:31:18 -0600 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.71.1008.3 X-Mimeole: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE Engine V4.71.1008.3 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I figured out what was wrong, my hosts file had a mis-spelled name for my nt machine. ok so now i got that working i type ppp -alias -auto demand i get a message saying must specify dstaddr using auto mode or something to this effect. what is dstaddr? how do i specify it on the command line?

I am installing BSD 2.2 on a second partition. I am able to boot and login as root or any other of the user names which have been set up. The problem is that my configuration does not recognize the serial ports. I am convinced that this is a controller problem. I have searched the FAQs without finding anything relevent to my particular problem. the output of "dmesg | grep sio" is sio0 not found at 0x3f8 sio1 not found at 0x2f8 sio2 disabled, not probed sio3 disabled, not probed The GENERIC config file is set too 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 I have a Amptron PM9200 i430TX mainboard. The following excerpts are from the mainboard doc onboard super multi-I/O chip supports 2-serial ports with 16550 fast UART compatable ... and Two High Speed Serial Ports (16550 UART Compatible) This is all I could find out about the serial controller. I have a request in for more documentation to Amptron, but I have not heard anything yet. I have used the W95 partition to verify that com1 and com2 are at 0x3f8 and 0x2f8. As for the IRQ, I have no clue. This is the only documentation I could find which seemed relevent. I have checked the serial port configuration against several people with BSD installed and we appear to have the same entries. Furthmore the FAQ provided me with the default serial settings, and it appears that I have the default settings. The question is what am I missing. I am at wits end. I believe the controller on the mainboard is either not recognized, or requires special settings. Is it possible to use this configuration? If not I would really appreciate info on the best way to proceed(probably purchasing and configuring a controller card). I would prefer to make the current configuration work if possible. Thanks for any assistance. - Wyatt From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 19 09:59:11 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id JAA05217 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 19 Nov 1997 09:59:11 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id JAA05204 for ; Wed, 19 Nov 1997 09:59:07 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id JAA03366; Wed, 19 Nov 1997 09:59:00 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Date: Wed, 19 Nov 1997 09:59:00 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: Doug White To: Marie-Josee Blais cc: freebsd-questions-digest@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Trouble with FreeBSD 2.2 (Hard disk or controller) In-Reply-To: <3.0.1.32.19971111163514.006ae26c@mail> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk People keep inventing new mailing addresses for questions faster than I can add them to my filters. :-) On Tue, 11 Nov 1997, Marie-Josee Blais wrote: > My FreeBSD server seems to be thrashing my hard disk bit per bit. > > Once in a while I get messages telling me that a certain file on my system > has bad data. > Most of the time I don't use those files so I erase them. > > Is there a way for me to check if my hard disk is the problem or my > controller or maybe FreeBSD itself.

Most likely, the 16550 UART emulation on the I/O controller isn't quite up to snuff. YOu can check this by typing `-v' at the Boot: prompt and checking the output of the probe test for the sio devices. If they're like what I've seen from this error, two of the tests will fail for each one.

That'd be because it's a custom kernel (with only 8Mb, one has to take out as much as possible..). However, using the: `nm /kernel | grep xxxx' technique (I didn't know you could do that!) on the instruction pointer to 6 significant characters, the sorted output is: f013d050 t _rn_walktree_from f013d15c t _rn_walktree f013d1f4 T _rn_inithead f013d308 T _rn_init f013d3e0 F raw_cb.o f013d3e0 T _raw_attach f013d44c T _raw_detach f013d48c T _raw_disconnect f013d4b0 F raw_usrreq.o f013d4b0 T _raw_init f013d4cc T _raw_input f013d624 T _raw_ctlinput f013d634 T _raw_usrreq f013d820 F route.o f013d820 t _rtable_init f013d860 T _route_init f013d874 T _rtalloc f013d8a4 T _rtalloc_ign f013d8d4 T _rtalloc1 f013da08 T _rtfree f013daf8 T _ifafree f013db28 T _rtredirect f013dca0 T _rtioctl f013dcb4 T _ifa_ifwithroute f013dd80 T _rtrequest However, as Brian has pointed out, it may be a memory problem.

Due to some firewalling that I want to do, I want to be able to bind either ypserv or ypbind (not sure which yet) to a fixed port number, so I can open a firewall hole for the service, so that the firewalled server can provide NIS, without allowing telnet, or other services TO the server. I've been digging through yp_main.c of ypserv, and ran across the line transp = svcudp_create(sock); I looked this up under "man rpc", and found that this will create a new socket, and bind it to an arbitrary port number. I was wondering, therefore, if I wanted to force it to a particular socket, whether I'd have to make the socket() call myself to get a valid TCP socket, then bind() it to a particular port, then call svcudp_create with that new socket descriptor, or am I going about it the hard way? -Brian From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 19 14:38:03 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id OAA07150 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 19 Nov 1997 14:38:03 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from mail.virginia.edu (mail.Virginia.EDU [128.143.2.9]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id OAA07142 for ; Wed, 19 Nov 1997 14:37:51 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from atf3r@cs.virginia.edu) Received: from ares.cs.virginia.edu by mail.virginia.edu id ab29252; 19 Nov 97 17:37 EST Received: from stretch.cs.virginia.edu (atf3r@stretch-fo.cs.Virginia.EDU [128.143.136.14]) by ares.cs.Virginia.EDU (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id RAA23742 for ; Wed, 19 Nov 1997 17:37:34 -0500 (EST) Received: (from atf3r@localhost) by stretch.cs.virginia.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) id RAA23480; Wed, 19 Nov 1997 17:37:32 -0500 (EST) Date: Wed, 19 Nov 1997 17:37:32 -0500 (EST) From: "Adrian T.

It was running quite happily as a 2.2.2-STABLE box, but now it panics pretty easily. It even paniced during the install several times. To get the OS installed I removed all but 16M of the RAM thinking it might be a problem related to the mysterious 48M install preoblem I hard about on previous releases. This did work. I have since reinstalled the RAM and, well the panics are back. I am doubtful that my memory went bad during an install. It would be an odd coincidence, so I am suspecting some other bug is at play here. One time during an install panic, I got the following message: vm_page_free: pindex(-260407040), busy(0), PG_BUSY(0), hold(6) I cannot say what the full panic message is because I was on a vty1, not vty0. The machine always reboots before I can see the panic message, so I recompiled it with the DDB_UNATENDED option. (I believe this is the correct option to get the system not to reboot automatically after a panic.) Well, the new kernel will not boot fully. It hangs when trying to access my second SCSI controller, a BT 747S. The system doesn't panic, but I cannot go multi-user without the second SCSI card, so I need to reboot the original kernel. Oddly enough the BT driver prints out messagesa about the BT742A not responding. Does anyone have any suggestions? The BT747S is a recent addition to my system, but noe of the error messages point to it being a problem until I add the SSB option to the kernel. This ideally should not affect the success/failure rates for booting. FYI, so far the only thing I have tried in terms of kernel customization was to remove the bounce buffers options. This didn't help with the panics. I will try a fully customized kernel shortly. I still have unconfigured devices installed. thanks, Adrian -- adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| If I were stranded on a desert island, and System Administrator --->>>| I could only have one OS for my computer, Neurosurgical Visualzation Lab -->>| it would be FreeBSD.

I use these in a few other places in my .bashrc. host=$(uname -n) # SVr4 doesn't seem to have a USER environment variable by default : ${USER:=$(/usr/ucb/whoami)} export USER This block defines a 'label' function that simply inserts its command-line parameters into the titlebar of the window; and 'label-icon' which does the same for the icon label. (Remember, these are only suggestions to the window manager. Not all WMs support them.) # Different terminal emulators take slightly different escape # sequences for the title-bar and icon label functions. # Ain't standards wunnerful? # if [ "$TERM" = "iris-ansi" ] ; then # DCS = ESC P or octal 220 # ST = ESC backslash or octal 234 function label { builtin echo -ne "\2201.y$*\234" ; } function label-icon { builtin echo -ne "\2203.y$*\234" ; } elif [ "$TERM" = "xterm" ] ; then # This sequence changes both the title bar and the icon function label { builtin echo -ne "\033]0;$*\007" ; } function label-icon { : } else # Sun shelltool/cmdtool, NeWS ANSIterm/jet, etc. # function label { builtin echo -ne "\033]l$*\033\\" ; } function label-icon { builtin echo -ne "\033]L$*\033\\" ; } } This function takes no parameters. It generates the string and invokes 'label' to set the window title. The first line, declaring and setting the Pwd variable, is to ensure that any path prefix matching my home directory is converted into a tilde. I really don't like having to spawn a perl (or any other external process) to do this; but I don't know of any clean portable way to do this with bash built-ins. (NOTE that this is pretty old code, and I haven't bothered to determine whether later versions of bash would allow me to clean it up.) function stripe { local Pwd=$(perl -e '$_=$ENV{"PWD"};s:^$ENV{"HOME"}:~:;print') label "$USER @ $host - $Pwd" } Finally, since I don't want to spawn a perl for every command prompt, I define functions to shadow those commands that would change the working directory. Note that rlogin will change the label on the icon to be '[new-host-name]' when it is possible to set the icon and titlebar separately. function cd { builtin cd $* ; stripe ; } function pushd { builtin pushd $* ; stripe ; } function popd { builtin popd $* ; stripe ; } function pwd { builtin pwd ; stripe ; } function suspend { builtin suspend ; stripe ; } function su { # NOTE that the titlebar will remain at the current # (pre-su) value unless the new user's shell also # updates it. So we make sure that it gets at least # a minimal indication of the change. label "[[SU $*]]" command su $* stripe } function rlogin { label-icon "[$1]" command rlogin $* stripe ; label-icon "[$host]" } If at any point the titlebar does get out of sync, I can manually issue a 'stripe' command to bring it back. -Pat From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 19 15:18:43 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id PAA11123 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 19 Nov 1997 15:18:43 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from harrier.sasknet.sk.ca (harrier.sasknet.sk.ca [142.165.5.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id PAA11109 for ; Wed, 19 Nov 1997 15:18:37 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from herpes@hehe.com) Received: from LOCALNAME (alfaro36.sk.sympatico.ca [142.165.102.36]) by harrier.sasknet.sk.ca (8.8.6/8.8.6) with SMTP id RAA14556 for ; Wed, 19 Nov 1997 17:18:45 -0600 (CST) Message-ID: <34738FFF.3F58@hehe.com> Date: Wed, 19 Nov 1997 17:18:55 -0800 From: bob X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.02E-SYMPA (Win16; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: installing freebSd X-URL: http://www.freebsd.com/mailto.html Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk i got freebsd .....blah blah... and i went to install from CD and it said it doesnt reconize my CD drive??? help me From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 19 15:19:20 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id PAA11215 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 19 Nov 1997 15:19:20 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from germanium.xtalwind.net (germanium.xtalwind.net [205.160.242.5]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id PAA11199 for ; Wed, 19 Nov 1997 15:19:15 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jack@diamond.xtalwind.net) Received: from localhost (localhost.xtalwind.net [127.0.0.1]) by germanium.xtalwind.net (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id SAA29019; Wed, 19 Nov 1997 18:19:31 -0500 (EST) Date: Wed, 19 Nov 1997 18:19:31 -0500 (EST) From: jack X-Sender: jack@germanium.xtalwind.net To: sporkl@dti.net cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Keeping mutliple machine and telnets straight....

No danger of fire, as long as your first line doesn't start with #!. :-) But try e.g. 8<--------------------------------- setenv ABC "Hello world." echo $ABC 8<--------------------------------- This will give you `setenv: not found', since it's a csh-specific command. (Thus #!/bin/csh setenv ABC "Hello world." echo $ABC will work.) Generally, the program (shell or s.th. else (e.g. awk)) after #! will be started and fed with the contents of the file on stdin.

If you turned off all the SCSI options, including `controller scbus0', then it's probably complaining about some missing SCSI routines. Remove it and you'll be happy.

Historical, probably. /etc/crontab is for systemwide maintenance processes, root's crontab would imply that those processes run for the root user's own business. I.e. atrun runs out of cron since it's a system thing, but a status monitor could run out of root's crontab. If you have root access though, why bother with the crontab(1) interface when you can just edit /etc/crontab directly?

As fs access is asyncronous, the ``current process'' is irrelevent - it's random, but weighted towards whatever's being scheduled the most (maybe someone was doing a transfer to/from an MSDOS partition over the ppp link). Perhaps using mtools for a while instead of mounting any DOS partitions and seeing if the problem goes away may be in order. > > > > Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode > > > > fault virtual address = 0xf057a000 > > > > fault code = supervisor read, page not present > > > > instruction pointer = 0x8:0xf013d087 > > > > stack pointer = 0x10:0xefbffd80 > > > > frame pointer = 0x10:0xefbffd9c > > > > code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b > > > > = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 > > > > processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 > > > > current process = 24356 (ppp) > > > > interrupt mask = > > > > panic: page fault > > Doug White | University of Oregon > Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant > http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major > > -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....

I'm running a 3Com Impact IQ attached to a plain old asynch serial port. The 3Com internally does the asynch to synch PPP conversion. It talks to the serial port asynch, but talks to the remote ISDN device at the far end of the DCE link via synchronous PPP at the full 128k. You just need the right kind of ISDN T/A to make it work.

NE2000 cards are supported fine, just don't be surprised when it dies a few months down the road. Which they DO, its happened many times to me. Also, just because a card has Novell drivers doesnt mean it will work with FreeBSD. All NE2000 cards work with FreeBSD, although I believe you need to turn the plug and pray off.

The card should work fine. The `ed' driver (the one you'll be using) seems pretty stable. For the last year or so, I've been using old SMC 10Base2 cards on FreeBSD (decidely *old* technology), and I haven't had one bit of trouble. In addition, we successfully used NE2000-compatible cards on FreeBSD boxen at my previous employer, and I don't recall any problems occurring that weren't related to faulty hardware.

In addition to setting the shell prompt to contain the host name (*and* setting it in the xterm border, if the terminal type is xterm), I have front-end scripts for telnet and rlogin called xtelnet and xlogin, respectively. (I even hacked one up for ssh at one time.) Each utility pops up a separate xterm for a telnet or rlogin session; each reads a simple text file in my home directory, called (appropriately) ".xlogin", that describes what colors xterm should use for the foreground, background, cursor and border for each host. The xlogin or xtelnet utility then fires up xterm, with the desired colors, telling it to run rlogin or telnet to the appropriate host. The utilities support most common options for both xterm and rlogin or telnet. I tend to stick to the same background (black) and modify the foreground (text) color. Since my brain parses color faster than text, I can tell at a glance--without reading anything--what host the current xterm is logged into. I've been using variants of these utilities for years, and I find I like the solution far better than relying solely on text labels of some kind. ----- Brian Clapper, bmc@WillsCreek.COM, http://WWW.WillsCreek.COM/ Quantity is no substitute for quality, but it's the only one we've got.

Erm... no. RSA has a patent on certain technology which is required to implement SSLv2. That means that, where their patent applies (ie. in the US), they have control over who uses it. There are free implementations that they have licensed for non-commercial use. For commercial use, you need a license from RSA. >From RSA's FAQ: Question 22. Is RSA Patented? RSA is patented under U.S. Patent 4,405,829, issued September 20, 1983 and held by RSA Data Security, Inc. of Redwood City, California; the patent expires 17 years after issue, in 2000. RSA Data Security has a standard, royalty-based licensing policy which can be modified for special circumstances. The U.S. government can use RSA without a license because it was invented at MIT with partial government funding. In the U.S., a license is needed to "make, use or sell" RSA. However, RSA Data Security usually allows free non-commercial use of RSA, with written permission, for academic or university research purposes. Furthermore, RSA Laboratories has made available (in the U.S. and Canada) at no charge a collection of cryptographic routines in source code, including the RSA algorithm; it can be used, improved and redistributed non-commercially (see Question 174). I would contact RSA and confirm what they are talking about. They may be referring to non-commercial use. I have heard that they have stated that they won't go after people using SSL without licenses, however you would be foolish to treat that as a promise. > > I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH STRONGHOLD EVEN IF THEY HAVE A GREAT PRODUCT. That is your choice. FYI, the company that produces Stronghold is called C2Net. I would suggest, however, that you are a bit confused about the real issues involved in RSA patents. You may have got vague or misleading answers from RSA and/or C2Net; it is easy to interpret something that is technically correct in a different fashion. There is a lot more to StrongHold than what the Apache-SSL patches contain.

Hmm.. Consistancy comes to mind as a good reason. It is the inconsistancy of having two places that i am concerned about. General users, meaning users that also have root, ( including myself as I forgot ) could have a problem finding things that they put in one place and not another. Possible suggestion.. when root does a crontab -[le], could it check for the existance of /etc/crontab and give you the choice of editing it or the regular crontab? - branson ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Branson Matheson " If you are falling off of a mountain, Unix System Administrator You may as well try to fly."

Now Linksys has the PCI II, and seems to be phasing out the old card. Figures. :) Rather than going through another round of tests, does anyone have any opinions/suggestions for PCI NICs for FreeBSD? We need a card that can be configured using a single Win95 boot floppy, and that can easily be assigned a wide variety of IRQs and memory addresses. (We frequently have several NICs in one box.) Performance is also important. Any suggestions gratefully appreciated!

The easiest way would be to use screen (its a port). Otherwise once your FTP session is off and running press ^Z. Then type bg. The session should continue to run in the background.

" error. Taking a suggestion from someone on this mailing list I increased my max users to "maxusers 128" and added "options NMBCLUSTERS=4096". This kernel has been running for 14 days and I have again gotten the " /kernel: Out of mbuf clusters - increase maxusers! " error, however my system did not reboot. The output of netstat -m is: 715 mbufs in use: 351 mbufs allocated to data 357 mbufs allocated to packet headers 6 mbufs allocated to protocol control blocks 1 mbufs allocated to socket names and addresses 334/1136 mbuf clusters in use 2361 Kbytes allocated to network (32% in use) 0 requests for memory denied 0 requests for memory delayed 0 calls to protocol drain routines Yesterday this was running 80-90% in use. The number of clusters in use continues to increase ( xxx/1136 ). Yesterday it only had 984 clusters which increaseed to 1026 which increased to the current 1136. When I was running a slightly modified generic kernel netstat -m ouput was: 714 mbufs in use: 685 mbufs allocated to data 23 mbufs allocated to packet headers 5 mbufs allocated to protocol control blocks 1 mbufs allocated to socket names and addresses 683/2318 mbuf clusters in use 4725 Kbytes allocated to network (30% in use) 0 requests for memory denied 0 requests for memory delayed 0 calls to protocol drain routines As you can see the mbuf clusters in use was up to 2318. My questions are: 1. Does the system dynamically allocate mbuf clusters as it needs them? 2. Is there any way to find out what the maximum allocation will be? 3. Did I get the "Out of mbuf clusters" error yesterday because the system couldn't allocate clusters fast enough or because it reached the hard limit? 4. Are my kernel settings sufficient? I am running a web server with 2.2.2-R on a PPro 200, 96 meg RAM. I am also running Apache 1.2.4 which at times has 200+ clients connected. If you need more system info please let me know. Any assistance you can provide is appreciated.

Hi, Either device will work. The problem is you need to tell it what kind of filesystem is on the device. You can either add the -t flag or use the specialized evxternal mount command that is indirectly invoked. Try: mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0a /cdrom or mount_cd9660 /dev/cd0a /cdrom If you expect to be mounting different CD's regularly, you might want to consider adding an entry to your fstab usign the noauto option. Here's what I have in mine: /dev/cd0a /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 This allows me to use just "mount /cdrom", because the other options are found in the fstab file. cheers, Adrian -- adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| If I were stranded on a desert island, and System Administrator --->>>| I could only have one OS for my computer, Neurosurgical Visualzation Lab -->>| it would be FreeBSD.

Unfortunately both our sales department and RSA did not tell you the whole story. We do not have an exclusive license to the RSA patents. A good number of companies have RSA patent licenses -- Netscape, Microsoft, IBM, Sun, Oracle, etc. We are just one of them. However, our sales department may have said 'exclusive' or you may have heard 'exclusive' because Stronghold, as far as we know, is the only Apache-based product to have a patent license from RSA as well as a license to use the trade-secret RC4 algorithim within the United States. (Both of which you need to perform encrypted transactions over HTTP and interoperate with the majority of the deployed browsers.) Our contract with RSA does stipulate that we are required to report to them if we are aware of people violating their patent. We're not fans of software patents at C2Net, and we'd be happy to see them go away. However, there are realities of doing business, and one of them is making sure you've licensed all the IP that you need to license as well as abiding by the contracts you've signed in order to license that IP. We don't *want* to report patent violaters to RSA, but we're obligated to do so. I'm sorry. > When I asked the Stronghold people they said that it was not legal to use > it.

(aside > from acutually buying a network monitor) Well, I submitted nettest to ports just after 2.2.5 was announced (so it didn't get on the CD). Look on ftp.freebsd.org in ports-current/net. It's some really cool (and old 1992, I think) software from Cray. Basically, you start the server on one machine (nettestd) and on the next run nettest something like: proot horton:/aces/home/proot $ nettest -f -b 40k sentry 30k 100 Transfer: 30720*100 bytes from horton.iaces.com to sentry Real System User Kbyte Mbit(K^2) mbit(1+E6) write 2.6240 2.6167 (99.7%) 0.1667 ( 6.4%) 1143.29 8.932 9.366 read 6.5340 0.9500 (14.5%) 0.0500 ( 0.8%) 459.14 3.587 3.761 r/w 9.1580 3.5667 (38.9%) 0.2167 ( 2.4%) 655.16 5.118 5.367 100: 30720 Add somethings wrong here, because I should have 100 running here.

The problem is really that you've used FIPS to shrink a drive, and you shrank the drive below the threshold for changing the standard clustersize. The msdosfs code isn't intelligent enough to grok the proper clustersize, so it spits that out. You should _*IMMEDIATELY*_ dismount the disk and not mount it until you reformat the DOS disk. Damage to the MSDOS and possibly the FreeBSD filesystems will result if you use the FS when you receive the warning. If you need access to that disk from FreeBSD, install and use the mtools distribution instead. Mtools in in ports.

What are its need for ? PORT opens a data connection to the server to transfer a file. FTP maintains two connections: a command connection, which you send commands to the server, and a data connection, which the actual files come down. The PORT command is used by the client only; the user doesn't need to worry about it.

Is my server writing data outside its partitions ? Hi Doug, I actually figured out what was wrong with my server. What happened was that I upgraded the server from a 486 to a Pentium by swapping the hard disk on the old system with the new system. I was under the impression that the 2 hard disks were the same. Si I didn't redetect the hard disk. Anyways things are back to normal. And thanks since you're the one who made me look at the disk geometry in the first place. ___________________________ ________________________/ Technologies Miranda Inc. \ / Jean-Francois Routhier \ TEL:(514)333-1772 | | jfrouthi@miranda.com | FAX:(514)333-9828 | | | Web: http://www.miranda.com | | |___________________________ / | Network Administrator | | Administratrice Reseau | \________________________/ From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Nov 20 11:31:01 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id LAA29032 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 20 Nov 1997 11:31:01 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id LAA28976 for ; Thu, 20 Nov 1997 11:30:43 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id LAA04938; Thu, 20 Nov 1997 11:27:41 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Date: Thu, 20 Nov 1997 11:27:41 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: Doug White To: "Vladimir V.

A machine at the University plays forwarder for the local DNS server, through the firewall. Another question (while I'm at it). Could someone explain the `check-names' entries in named.boot?

I have 2 Drives, 2.1G (1.5G Fat16 Primary, 600M Fat16 Extended) and a 1.2G (FreeBSD). I run Dos v 7 (Win95 that is) and when I mount the 1.5G partition from FBSD I get the same error.

Mtools in in ports. Yeeees, but a rather annoying way of doing things. I like to use Emacs to write the code in when I'm programming, but I have to change back to DOS to compile and run (Pascal).

I am been installing it all day long now, it's not as easy as it seems. Maybe I am not doing everything right. I tried to install it through ftp, and I happened to have an IBM pcmcia ethernet card that I can use for now. But it hangs a couple of time either half way through, or sometimes when it started. Quite a lot of work.. I am doing it now, maybe if it'd fail again, I've better copy everything to the DOS partition and install it from there... Thanks again!! Katherina Sent by Yahoo! Mail.

Is anyone working on a driver for the Ascend NetWarp 128 ISDN Terminal Adapter? It is based on a network interface model rather than a comm port model so it should not suffer from all of the latency problems of a serial TA. Currently the card is selling for ~$175 US dollars and comes with Windoze95 and NT miniport drivers which back into the M$ ISDN accellerator interface. I have one of these cards and would be willing to port/write a driver for it if there's not one already in the works. - Bruce ======================================================================== || Bruce M.

Sounds like the problem I reported a while back in 2.2.5 -- the one where it used to be (in 2.2.2) 48 meg of RAM showing the problem. Try removing a SIMM to leave 48 meg and then boot the old 2.2.2 floppy. If it fails at 48 meg with the "double fault" panic, then you have the old slippery 48 meg bug.

There are several variables involved, depending on what you want to accomplish with your system. I think the best way to figure out which is best for your situation is to try both and keep the one you are more comfortable with. I have tried both and determined that FreeBSD is best for my current situation. The single most important thing you need to do, prior to trying either, is to BACK-UP YOUR DATA from your current system!

Thanks for the pointer -- `set openmode passive' seems to have done the trick (although it was unnecessary with the older version...). I don't think it is actually seing its own echo, but perhaps there's some bug in negotiation which makes it advantageous to let the other side start.

I have 2 drives the primary is 1.6G and the secondary is 420M which is where I am trying to install FreeBSD. I didn't elect to install a boot loader! Is this bad?? I wanted to either use a dos boot loader, or I have tried the freebsd install diskette. I get it to ask for info, as boot: 1:wd(1,c)/kernel -cv But the last I see is changing root device to wd1c configure finished Panic: cannot mount root Thank you for the e-mail responses, but I don't think I explained my problem clearly, as I don't understand the replies: At the end of the probe sequence you should either: 1. Have the line: config kernel root on wd2 in your kernel config, ---Do this in visual??? 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). Where can I do this.. I don't understand the reply. Where can I get to the kernel config? Or this reply: 3. (Possibly the easiest) Start up FreeBSD by typing "1:wd(2,a)/kernel" at "Boot:" prompt. Once FreeBSD successfully booted up, create /boot.config with the line you typed above as the only contents of the file. (From next time you don't have to type the same line every time, as the boot loader reads it from the boot configuration file, /boot.config How?

I used the smbclient program to copy a large file from a win95 machine to the FreeBSD machine. This utility tells you the average throughput when it's done copying. I get around 500kb/sec. Apparently, this is close to the theoretical maximum for 10baseT. I suppose _any_ 10baseT card should be able to manage this (they are all 10Mbit/sec), though I suspect the 'slower' cards such as the NE2000 are slower because they use more CPU overhead due to the increased IRQ rate. The raw throughput for any 10baseT should be the same (in my opinion). Can anyone else comment/correct me on this?

Then is says something about other operating systems and I selected YES to that also.. then up comes the bootmgr screen. This is where I'm stuck! I said yes to install bootmgr.. but where do i stick it? on c: or the old d: ? I thought c: (wd0) so I selected that and then up comes FDISK .. now what do i do there?? Basically can anyone who has win95 on C:\ and then FreeBSD on d:\ and has the option of dual boot please please please tell me what to do???

To make use of more than 64 MB memory, I added options MAXMEM=131072 #Memory size to the kernel configuration file before creating the custom kernel. Now I've serious problems concerning the stability of the system. If there's load on the system, it crashes from time to time. I increased the memory access time from 60 ns to 70 ns in the BIOS setup - no change. So I started the system in single user mode many times and ran a simple test program included here (after setting the datasize process limit to unlimited): #include #include #include #define MEGABYTE 1048576 #define MEMBLOCK 1 * MEGABYTE int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { char *buffer; long i; long memsize = MEMBLOCK; while (buffer = malloc(memsize)) { memset(buffer, 0, memsize); for (i = 0; i < memsize; ++i) if (*(buffer + i)) fprintf(stderr, "%s: read error at: %x (%d)\n", argv[0], i, i); printf("%s: %4d MB\n", argv[0], memsize / MEGABYTE); free(buffer); memsize += MEMBLOCK; } } In the range above about 75 MB memory allocated and used, the kernel panics. Error messages are like this: vm_page_free: pindex(16415), busy(0), PG_BUSY(0), hold(0) panic: vm_page_free: freeing busy page As soon as I omit the `options MAXMEM' line in the kernel configuration file and thus only use 64 MB of main memory, the system works very fine. So - I'm not sure: Is possibly one of my four SIMM modules (each 32 MB) physically defect, or is there a problem with the kernel and more than 64 MB?

This problem was experienced with a freshly formatted DOS partition on a clean disk. FIPS has never darkened my disks. I'm also running DOS 7, FWIW - which is why I asked if an upgrade to msdosfs was planned. > If you need access to that disk from FreeBSD, install and use the mtools > distribution instead. Mtools in in ports. I already have mtools. I built msdosfs into the kernel because mtools upsets my sense of neatness. I'd far rather be able to treat the DOS partition as merely another filesystem.

Take a look at the ports collection: http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html and also read http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ports.html Basically those small text files are all you need. You copy them to your machine, untar them (tar -xzf xxx.tar). Change directories (cd) into it and type make install. You get even more spoiled by this. It goes out and downloads all the *stuff* and installs it. *sweet* >I'm tempted to go for one of the new 4-CD sets (2.5.5?) but don't want to >get my hopes up, especially if the jumpstart docs are as spartan as the ones >on the 2.1.5 CDs I have.

They are under the Documentation section on www.freebsd.org. 2.2.5 is out on CD. I've had mine for 2 weeks+. And it gets easier all the time.

This problem was experienced with a freshly > formatted DOS partition on a clean disk. FIPS has never darkened my disks. [ ...] The logic that causes a Root partition is not a multiple of the clustersize in length warning to be issued is bogus. A standard hard disk root directory (whether the DOS FS is large or small) has 512 entries. Each entry is 32 bytes, which gives a root directory size of 16K. If your cluster size is <= 16K, you don't get the message; if your cluster size is > 16K, you do get the message. In itself, the message means nothing. There is nothing wrong with having a cluster size that "mismatches" the size of your root directory. The msdosfs can handle this. In FreeBSD 2.1 and below, a problem that caused corruption when using the msdosfs was that the VFS layer was not equipped to handle FS blocks (eg. DOS FS clusters) exceeding 16K. This limitation was eliminated in the 2.2 releases (by setting MAXBSIZE to 65536 in /usr/src/sys/sys/param.h). The msdosfs and the VFS are two separate bodies of code that work at different levels. By pure coincidence, the root directory limit and the 2.1 VFS limit were both 16K. So, in 2.1, by testing for something that didn't matter, the warning was actually useful, because it alerted users to something that did (in a round about way). In FreeBSD 2.2, the 16K<->16K coincidence is removed. So the warning, instead of being illogical and useful, is illogical and pointless and may be ignored. However, if you are running FreeBSD 2.1 or below, Doug's warning should be taken seriously. -- Robert Nordier From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Nov 21 06:34:45 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id GAA11333 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 21 Nov 1997 06:34:45 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from smtp2.mailsrvcs.net (smtp2.gte.net [207.115.153.31]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id GAA11326 for ; Fri, 21 Nov 1997 06:34:42 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from aims@gte.net) Received: from denali (1Cust23.tnt17.sfo3.da.uu.net [153.37.49.23]) by smtp2.mailsrvcs.net with SMTP id IAA05987 for ; Fri, 21 Nov 1997 08:38:56 -0600 (CST) Message-ID: <34759D12.1CFB@gte.net> Date: Fri, 21 Nov 1997 07:39:14 -0700 From: Bob Angell Organization: Applied Information & Management Systems X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0Gold (X11; U; AIX 2) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: PowerPC and FreeBSD Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have a PowerPC Laptop (803e chipset (IBM) and 48 RAM and 850 SCSI Harddrive) ... is there a version of FreeBSD that would support this configuration? -Bob- -- Bob Angell, Principal - Sys.

After the release, there are no more "full releases" that are shipped on CD. At release time, a new development branch is created on which only bug fixes and security fixes are applied. This is the -STABLE branch. It is used mostly by ISP's and people who have to have the latest and greatest version. To be correct and useful the above security vulnerability report should refer to 2.2.5-STABLE-97mmdd, so that we know when the fix has made it into the distribution.

Made the boot floppy and used it to install a machine from CD-ROM distribution. All went fine, so I know the boot floppy is ok. Now, I'm trying to install via ftp onto a different machine with the following configuration: Dell 386/DX33. 8mb Ram. Two NE2000 compatible ethernet cards. Adaptec 2322D ESDI disk/floppy controller. Maxtor ESDI XT-4380E hard drive. During initial installation, I get the message: /mnt/dev/wd0s1f on /mnt/usr Invalid argument and a bit later another message just like the above except about a different filesystem (swap maybe?)... I suspect the problem is with the hard drive/controller, so here's more info on those: Disk: 1224 cylinders, 15 heads, (35,36) RLL sectors/track Supposedly with ESDI you set the CMOS bios to drive type 1 no matter what. The bios doesn't support user defined hard drive types, just a stock list (all less than 1024 cylinders, hum..). The controller bios (debug, g=c800:5) lets you set special options, either 17spt, 63spt, or no translation at all. I've tried all of these with exactly the same results. Just to check out the drive I installed DOS 5.0 on it, and it formats fine. I searched the mailinglist archives and couldn't find anything specific about this. I'm at a dead end on this one with a deadline to meet . Any ideas?

After getting 2.2.5 installed and working on my SCSI drive, I decided to upgrade the 2.2.2 version on the old IDE drive. Here's what it did: # ls -l /IDE/kern* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1172726 Nov 21 09:40 /IDE/kernel -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1457189 Oct 21 10:33 /IDE/kernel.GENERIC -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1173041 Oct 20 12:21 /IDE/kernel.TIG1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Nov 21 09:51 /IDE/kernel.config -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1173041 Oct 6 20:42 /IDE/kernel.old -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1172726 Nov 21 09:12 /IDE/kernel.prev kernel and kernel.prev are identical, kernel.GENERIC is 2.2.5. The first time I booted with -c, and it was using the old hardware configuration. Let it finish booting, figured out it was the old kernel, then rebooted using kernel.GENERIC. Then I tried to mount the root partition from the SCSI drive, and it hung. >From another vt, ps gave: PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND 177 v0 Is 0:01.90 -csh (csh) 195 v0 D+ 0:00.03 mount /dev/sd0a /mnt 196 v0 DV+ 0:00.01 mount /dev/sd0a /mnt 178 v1 Ss 0:02.14 -csh (csh) 205 v1 R+ 0:00.03 ps 179 v2 Is+ 0:00.32 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv2 After a minute or so, "ncr0: timeout ccb=50506000 (skip)" showed up on the console. Having had enough errors for one day, I tried to reboot and got "init: Some processes would not die; ps axl advised", then "Syncing disks... done" (later found out it did not set the clean flag). So, can anybody tell me what went wrong, or the correct way to fix it? If nobody has anything for me to try, I'll probably end up wiping it and doing a fresh install. Last question -- is it possible to do an install or upgrade from a SCSI zip drive? I was unable to find a way to mount it.

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I just got FreeBSD 2.2.5 from Walnut Creek CD-ROM and upgraded from 2.2.2. When I run Netscape (3.01), it runs out of memory after a very short amount of surfing, much less than 2.2.2. (It pops a dialog saying it's out of memory. It may mean the X server's out of memory.) It seems especially prone to this if the page loads a lot of images from the disk cache. The Netscape binary is the same after the upgrade, naturally, and as far as I can tell all of the X binaries and libraries are the same (dated in May, at least), so I'm not sure where the problem lies. Has memory management changed subtly, or some configuration default? I actually reverted back to 2.2.2 because of this problem, the first time I've installed an old version of the OS in two years of subscribing to FreeBSD!

Does anyone have instructions for setting up a couple of drives to work as one ccd? I've been mucking around with it for a bit, but seem to not quite have everything down. Here's the steps I went through... sh MAKEDEV ccd0 # Everything worked fine here and the dev files were # created disklabel -er /dev/sd1s1 # Had to change the disklabel from unused to disklabel -er /dev/sd2s1 # 4.2BSD ccdconfig -cv ccd0 0 none /dev/sd1s1 /dev/sd2s1 Here's where I'm stuck. I've been told that I need to newfs the ccd0. Through trial and error I've found that /dev/ccd0c seems to be the device I want to work on (if you can tell me an automated way to know which device is the right one to work with, I'd appreciate that too). Doing a 'newfs /dev/ccd0c' tells me that ccd0c is not a character-special device, the device is not configured and that can't read the disk label; disk type must be specified. I can't disklabel /dev/ccd0c (or any other ccd0 devices) because it says the device is not configured. Are there any instructions that will give me a direction to follow from here? -- Dylan Northrup <*> northrup@nwe.ufl.edu <*> http://web.nwe.ufl.edu/~northrup <*> --------------- Random B5 Quote "So, I ask myself 'Now who on the station could pull together the ingredients of bagna cauda so far from Earth?'

Please forgive if this is a duplicate. ========================================================================== Supposedly, the Cyrix CPUs suffer a similar bug to the Pentium F0 bug that has been just been discovered. It is exploited by locking the cpu into a loop that contains the xchgl opcode. "The exchange instruction (xchgl) on the 6x86 will lock the cpu bus and effectively disable interrupts during its execution. It seems that the combination of speculative execution and register renaming plus out-of-order execution and the intelligent pipelines in the 6x86 will prevent interrupt servicing during the execution of the movl and jmp instructions. Consequently interrupts routines never get called and the processor is effectively locked in a loop that runs in its cache line." According to a Linux web page (www.tux.org/~balsa/linux/cyrix/p11.html), the problem can be prevented by setting the NO_LOCK bit in CCR1. They do this by using the command "set6x86 -p 0xc1 -s 0x10". How can we do the same in FreeBSD?

Ive got Kingston combo cards, but am using coax (I think 10base2). I played around with samba for a bit, but never could get it to work quite right so put it aside for now. In the process of getting intimate with sendmail and procmail. :) Though now that you mention it, if samba give the through put like that then wouldnt an FTP session from a 95 to a FBSD box over a local lan give the same info after a file was transfered? Have to try that. Thanks!

I want to do a single-disk, multi-os install. I have windows 95 installed already. I downloaded the fips.exe and set up a new freebsd partition, then I made my freebsd boot disk using the fdimage file. I then downloaded the "bin" files from the ftp.cdrom site and stored them in a directory named FreeBSD. The boot disk works fine but when i try to install from a dos partition it kicks me back out to the select distributions screen and I get into a vicious circle from there. So, I decided to try to fdimage all of the "bin" files to floppy disk and install that way, but when I got to the actual install screen where it asks me to put in the first floppy, I get an error message that reads "Error mounting floppy fd0 (/dev/fd0) on /dist : Invalid argument".

So far, there seems to be no NIS section in the Handbook and nothing in the FAQ. So I searched the mailinglist archives.

(*grmpf* ;)) Ok, what I did so far is this: in /etc/rc.conf: hostname="marvin.cs.uni-magdeburg.de" nisdomainname="isg.cs.uni-magdeburg.de" nis_client_enable="YES" nis_client_flags="-s" nis_ypset_enable="YES" nis_ypset_flags="simsrv.cs.uni-magdeburg.de" /etc/master.passwd (using vipw): added last line "+:::::::::" /etc/group: added last line "+:::" /etc/host.conf: uncommented the line containing "nis". (last line of the file, "bind" and "hosts" are uncommented, too) I rebooted the machine. As a result, the login process slowed down and takes a cupple of minutes now. I cannot access the NIS pages. That means, "ypcat passwd" (as an example) returns (after quite a while): No such map passwd.byname. Reason: Can't bind to server which serves this domain There are two machines involved. The first is simsrv. It is the NIS server for isg.cs... This machine is running SunOS 5.x. The second machine is marvin.cs... This is supposed to be the NIS client. It runs FreeBSD 3.0-970807-SNAP.

The only thing I'd suspect is that you've mis-specified the IP number (or even mis-spelt ``nameserver''). You could always use tcpdump (or "set log +tcp/ip" in ppp) to see if you get requests going to your DNS on port 53. Tcpdump is better for this sort of thing 'cos you can get it to just output stuff for a given port. With this info, you can determine if you're actually sending the request out (and if the DNS is actually replying). -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....

Interestingly enough, I checked all this, and made sure the format was right in my resolv.conf. Then I dialed out with ppp, and tried nslookup. It, uhm, works.

Long time no see... There are two macro sets that people use to write man pages. 4.4BSD and derivatives use the "doc" macro set. The rest of the world uses the "man" macro set. When you read a man page under FreeBSD, it gets processed by the "mandoc" macro package, which basically looks at the file and passes it on to either "man" or "doc", depending on what kind of file it looks like. I'd suggest using the "man" macro set, because its more portable, but I'm sure there are good reasons to prefer "doc". In any case...you can get a description of the two macro languages by reading the man pages for man(7) and mdoc(7). There's a pretty good (but brief) tutorial on writing man pages in the standard man format at http://elc2.igpm.rwth-aachen.de/~albrecht/manpage.html. There's also a manpage-howto somewhere in the Linux documentation. I generally take an existing man page as a template and modify it; the language is pretty simple and I usually only use a small subset of it. -Brion David Petrou writes: > I've recently written some software for FreeBSD and I would like to > write some man pages for them.

Mail to the second machine also works fine. $ cat /etc/hosts.conf hosts bind $ cat /etc/hosts : : 127.0.0.1 base486.mcs.net base486 127.0.0.1 localhost.mcs.net localhost 10.0.0.1 base486.mcs.net base486 10.0.0.2 base586.mcs.net base586 : : Ping/telnet/etc. all work. On 10.0.0.2 (the second machine), I can't get sendmail to use the host file. It insists on somehow trying to contact a nameserver, and thus always fails to send mail -- it just queues it. Here's: $ cat /etc/hosts.conf hosts $ cat /etc/hosts : : 127.0.0.1 localhost.mcs.net localhost 10.0.0.1 base486.mcs.net base486 10.0.0.2 base586.mcs.net base586 : : Even when I configure sendmail with FEATURE(nullclient, base486.mcs.net), it fails to use the /etc/hosts file! All mail is again queued with host name lookup failure. There must be lot's of folks with a home network, with one machine being the one that connects to the outside world. How can sendmail be configured so that local email is transferred withing the local net, (even when the dial-up connection is not active) and external email is queued/sent by the ``gateway'' or ``mailhub''? Do I actually have to install a name server (ugh)? Thanks.

The server starts up with the max res. (I think it's 1024 by something) and can switch to 800x600, 640x480, etc, with the virtual size at the max res size (got that? :) I'd like to have it start up at 800x600 at 16 bit, with the virtual size larger, with option to switch to 640x480. When I start it up with xdm -nodaemon or startx, it defaults to 8 bit depth. I've tried editing the XF86Config file by hand, deleting the 8 bit entries (hoping it would go to the 16) but that didn't work. Then I tried editing /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Xf86config.eg which sets some defaults. I changed the appropriate entries (so I thought) to 16 instead of 8, but startx still said 8 bit is default. I thought I read in an email about starting startx --32bpp or something, but startx --16bpp neither worked or is even in the man pages. I hope that's enough info for that question. The last time I tried using checkpoint to save the states of the programs, my system got messed up beyond belief. I don't know if this was it or not, but I didn't remember doing anything else either. Do I have any reason to fear saving the states again? ie any tips or DOs or DO NOT DOs? I can't find the file like .login for X. In .login, there's a line stty crt erase ^h, but when xterm starts up, I need to type this by hand. What's the name of the X initialization file? If I could use checkpoint, this shouldn't be necessary though, but possibly handy. How do I use the window managers like fvwm and the others? It defaults to twm. I tried looking in the xdm directories and grepping for twm, but nothing came up. I know that the newer Complete FreeBSD by Greg Lehey covers this topic, as I was previewing some chapters, but I lost where the files were (whoops!) Hmmm.... that should be it. If I can get 16 bit and try out other managers, I'll be one happer FreeBSDer. : ) Thanks a lot!

Some older BIOSes do not enable some of the CPU features of the Cyrix 6x86MX chip and are unstable with FreeBSD even though they work fine with the older 6x86. AFAIK all the post 2.2.2 snaps and 2.2.5 probe the 6x86MX as a 686 class cpu, and you should use the 686 compile settings. If the boot probe shows 486, you need a new bios. The boot probe should not say the 6x86MX is a 486 -- it has the Pentium Pro instruction set + MMX according to IBM's web site.

If you're going to use XDM, then you need to create an executable file call .xsession in your $HOME directory. If you're starting X with startx then you'll need to create a file call .xinitrc, also in your $HOME directory. These files should contain the name of the windowmanager you would like to use and any applications you would like to start immediately when X starts. Be careful on the order of the applications. The last entry in either file is called the controlling process. When that application exits, then your X window session will also end. Here's a copy of my .xinitrc: /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm & /usr/X11R6/bin/afterstep This starts X with 1 xterm window open. > > Hmmm.... that should be it.

If you want to capture a single window, use xv's 'grab' function. If you want to get the whole display, use xwd (in the Ports Collection). Both are adequately documented.

This is a notification intended for other Non-profits and business leaders from the father of Polly Klaas, Marc Klaas. We doubt that there will be any additional contact from us, however if you would like to be removed from our list we will gladly do so. Please put the comment remove only in the suject line and our software will remove you from our contact list. History During a slumber party in October of 1993, 12 year old Polly Hannah Klaas was abducted at knife-point from her Petaluma, California home. A mass distribution of over 2 billion images of Polly was sent worldwide. She had soon become a symbol of love and lost innocence. The world froze one cold evening in December when the media reported that Polly, "America's Child," the beautiful girl with the warm brown eyes shown smiling in home videos for millions of TV viewers, was not found alive. The country was outraged. The public cried out for change in legislation and pro-action in crime prevention. "Polly was faced with a choice few people ever have to make," said her father, Marc Klaas. "By putting herself in mortal danger to protect her family and friends, Polly has become my greatest teacher." Marc Klaas immediately dove into a campaign to put children higher on the national priority list. With no prior media, political or public speaking experience, he immediately became savvy in affecting pro-active legislation, and sought to advocate children's issues and speak out on crime prevention. Mr. Klaas will be in the following regions the remainder of 1997 and the 1st five months of 1998. If you want a copy of the times and dates of programs closest to your area, please put your city and state in the subject box and as soon as the information is available, you will receive a copy of the agenda in your area. The programs in every area include a Town Hall Meeting and an automated fingerprint program for children with equipment that Mr. Klaas got from the Secret Service. These machines fingerprint and photograph children with no film and no ink!!!! Mr. Klaas is totally against data basing of children's names, so the only record is handed to the parent. What Mr. Klaas wants from other non profits and businesses. 1) All programs are FREE to the public and your attendance is welcome. 2) Mr. Klaas is looking for business and Non profit leaders to sit on the panel at the Town Meeting. 3) You may be able to set up a display for your business or organization at the event. Please follow the email instructions above to get the exact location nearest you. Or contact Mr. Mark J. Bott, National Program Director@ 217-529-4174.

It only took me about 30 seconds to load the FreeBSD page and decide to follow the link to ``these instructions'' at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html So what are you trying to do?

So please, > tell me. What files need I download? I have done the boot.flp part. Have you read INSTALL.TXT? If installing from a DOS partition, you need all the files in ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5/bin. Put them in a directory called c:\freebsd\bin. That is the minimal install. If installing via FTP, or CDROM, all that is needed is the one boot disk.
