Anyone else have experience with this? > > Randal I stand corrected. The DiskOnChip does not need any special BIOS support to work as a boot drive. It has built-in code to work in almost any system. 1. The DOC2k has built in BIOS extension code that will add itself as a drive to INT13 BIOS services during POST ROM extension scan. It requires an 8K window size in the memory ranges from C8000 to EFFFF. 2. Depending on how the DOC2K is configured to add itself as the last drive or first drive will determine if you can boot from it. It is setup from factory to add itself as the last drive. Of course if it is the only drive in the system then it will install itself as drive C: and boot. I have successfully tested and booted PicoBSD from a DiskOnChip 2000 2MB on an ISA card. I am using the M-systems DiskOnChip EvalBoard which includes a 2MB DiskOnChip 2000. This is an ISA card with one socket and cost about $40 US dollars. How I got it to work: 1. First of all you need to partition, label, and newfs like any hard drive before you can copy PicoBSD to it. a) Build a new kernel on a FreeBSD 3.0 system with the DOC2K driver support. 1) Download the DOC2K driver from http://phk.freebsd.dk/doc2k/ 2) Follow the README instructions to install the driver. 3) Once you get a new kernel with DOC2K support, FreeBSD should recognize it as a drive /dev/fla0. b) Now you need to format it. 1) dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rfla0 count=32 2) fdisk -f doc2k2.conf -i fla0 3) disklabel -w -r fla0s1 doc2k2 4) disklabel -B -b /usr/mdec/wdboot -s /usr/mdec/bootwd fla0s1 5) newfs fla0s1a 6) thats it! now you should have a mountable drive /dev/fla0s1a. 2. Build a new PicoBSD to add support for the DOC2K. a) Assuming you are building PicoBSD on the same system above. You just need to add the driver line to the conf/PICOBSD kernel config file. b) Modify lang/mfs.rc.en [.pl] file to mount /dev/fla0s1a instead of the floppy /dev/fd0a. c) Modify lang/update.en [.pl] file to mount /dev/fla0s1a instead of the floppy /dev/fd0a. d) Modify mfs.tree/Makefile to MAKEDEV fla0s1h instead of wd0s1h. e) Now you can just build your new PicoBSD image to a floppy. 3. Copy the files from floppy to DOC2K drive. a) mount /dev/fla0s1a /mnt b) mount /dev/fd0c /mnt2 c) cp -pR /mnt2/* /mnt d) umount /mnt /mnt2 (note: it is possible to modify the build stage3 file to build an image directly for the DOC2K instead of floppy, but that gets a bit more technical and dependent on the size of you DOC2k chip.) 4. You now should be able to boot PicoBSD off the DOC2K chip. Here are contents of the files doc2k2.conf and /etc/disktab. contents of doc2k2.conf: # wd0 p 1 165 0 3904 p 2 0 0 0 p 3 0 0 0 p 4 0 0 0 a 1 (note: the last number 3904 will need to be adjusted for the correct number of sectors on your doc2k chip size.) contents of /etc/disktab: doc2k2|DiskOnChip 2000 2MB Chip:\ :dt=ESDI:ty=winchester:se#512:nt#4:ns#1:nc#976: \ :pa#3904:oa#0:ta=4.2BSD:ba#0:fa#0: \ :pc#3904:oc#0:bc#0:fc#0: (note: the nt#4, ns#1, nc#976, pa#3904, pc#3904 will all need to be adjusted for the correct numbers on your doc2k chip size.)

Well, picobsd does have it - it's the startup media, be it a floppy or whatever. That's what the /stand/update command is for. We're slowly approaching some better solution to handle pieces of PicoBSD which are taken from /usr/ports - as it was now it was hardly acceptable because the process couldn't be automated (it required manual editing on the way). That's why I was reluctant to add it - see what it took to use ssh, or ucd-snmp... Speaking of which... I have also bad news for users of "net" version: I had to remove ucd-snmp from it, because it was way too large in its present (3.5.3) version. Sorry - if you really need it, you have to build your own version of the floppy. This of course again begs for some proper solution to easily add/remove components of a PicoBSD system, so that it wouldn't require each time having all the sources.

I mean, it would be way cool :-) We am working on exactly this. We are building very small FreeBSD machines which will have DHCP server and a miniature DNS server (which I'll probably write). The machines will have a flash rom 'disk-on-chip' and are based on PC/104 architecture. This will go with a router for our remote sites which come in via auto-dial ISDN. That way we can boot laptops and so on at the remote site without making phone calls or if the ISDN link is down for any reason. (Many of our remote sites move around and international phone calls for an IP address seems a little expensive.) The mini DNS will resolve the local network, including local printer and so on. I'll post my results here. ETA one month.

Since I've been rebuilding a custom floppy numerous times while testing, I wrote the attached patch that checks for an existing custom (it does assume it is a softlink to another directory) config and asks the user if they would like to use that instead of the other one. It also fixes an obscure bug where if you created the custom symlink when it already existed then a link consisting of the last part of the destination in the destination directory. Example: suppose ../custom is pointing at /blah/floppy, when ../custom is relinked with ln -sf.. ../custom stays the same, but in /blah/floppy, a link floppy is created that is a softlink to /blah/floppy. Anyways, this fixes that as well as adding the aforementioned functionality. - --- John Baldwin -- http://members.freedomnet.com/~jbaldwin/ PGP Key: http://members.freedomnet.com/~jbaldwin/pgpkey.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBNqYjnbaE8XzBCodNAQEUbQP/WfEyPObSislbFHF7L0LZGNKHGL1i5hdi y48r7wzPajxc/DbJZd0VUH/sLdaE9j+9ioTfKnYdGvVyuZQFJSeGQZAU8DLrX2ce V5bjopqlgR/DnFLU4GzZw6Avqrg4dRH6hsGFcYnjWK/UpDS9o4xPIlsZ/kZ7Nv+W 39SQ/DOt/ww= =mX+9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --_=XFMail.1.3.p0.FreeBSD:990120134237:29183=_ Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="build.patch" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Description: build.patch Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=build.patch; SizeOnDisk=990 LS0tIGJ1aWxkLm9yaWcJV2VkIEphbiAyMCAxMzoyNzozNSAxOTk5CisrKyBidWlsZAlXZWQgSmFu IDIwIDEzOjQwOjM3IDE5OTkKQEAgLTEwNyw2ICsxMDcsMjMgQEAKIGRvbmUKIH0KIAorIyBjaGVj ayBmb3IgZXhpc3RpbmcgY3VzdG9tIGNvbmZpZyBkaXJlY3RvcnkgYW5kIGFzayB1c2VyIGlmIHRo ZXkgd2FudCB0byB1c2UgaXQKKworY2hlY2tfZm9yX29sZF9jdXN0b20oKSB7CisJS0VFUF9DVVNU T009bm8KKwlpZiBbICEgLWQgLi4vY3VzdG9tIF0KKwl0aGVuCisJCXJldHVybgorCWZpCisJY2xl YXIKKwllY2hvICIgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgQ3VzdG9tIGRpcmVjdG9yeSBzZXR1cCIKKwll Y2hvICIiCisJZWNobyAiVGhlcmUgaXMgYW4gZXhpc3RpbmcgY3VzdG9tIGNvbmZpZ3VyYXRpb24g bGlua2VkIHRvIgorCWxzIC1sIC4uL2N1c3RvbSB8IGF3ayAtRlw+ICd7IHByaW50ICQyIH0nIHwg YXdrICd7IHByaW50ICQxIH0nCisJZWNobyAiIgorCXJlYWQgLXAgIkRvIHlvdSB3aXNoIHRvIHVz ZSB0aGUgZXhpc3RpbmcgY3VzdG9tIGRpcmVjdG9yeT8gKHllcy9ubyk6ICIgS0VFUF9DVVNUT00K K30KKwogIyBBc2sgZm9yLCBhbmQgc2V0IHRoZSBjdXN0b20gY29uZmlnIGRpcmVjdG9yeQogCiBz ZXRfY3VzdG9tKCkgewpAQCAtMjUxLDggKzI2OCwxMyBAQAogCWZpCiAJaWYgWyAiWCR7VFlQRX0i ID0gIlhjdXN0b20iIF0KIAl0aGVuCi0JCXNldF9jdXN0b20KLQkJKGNkIC4uOyBsbiAtc2YgJHtD VVNUX0RJUn0gY3VzdG9tKQorCQljaGVja19mb3Jfb2xkX2N1c3RvbQorCQlpZiBbICJYJHtLRUVQ X0NVU1RPTX0iICE9ICJYeWVzIiBdCisJCXRoZW4KKwkJCVsgLXIgLi4vY3VzdG9tIF0gJiYgcm0g LWYgLi4vY3VzdG9tCisJCQlzZXRfY3VzdG9tCisJCQkoY2QgLi47IGxuIC1zZiAke0NVU1RfRElS fSBjdXN0b20pCisJCWZpCiAJZmkKIAlpZiBbICJYJHtUWVBFfSIgPSAiWGRpYWwiIC1hICJYJHtJ TklUfSIgPSAiWCIgXQogCXRoZW4K --_=XFMail.1.3.p0.FreeBSD:990120134237:29183=_-- End of MIME message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-small Wed Jan 20 15:48:15 1999 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id PAA04502 for freebsd-small-outgoing; Wed, 20 Jan 1999 15:48:15 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-small@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from korin.warman.org.pl (korin.nask.waw.pl [195.187.243.10]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id PAA04484 for ; Wed, 20 Jan 1999 15:48:11 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from abial@nask.pl) Received: from localhost (abial@localhost) by korin.warman.org.pl (8.9.1/8.8.5) with SMTP id AAA17869; Thu, 21 Jan 1999 00:54:47 +0100 (CET) X-Authentication-Warning: korin.warman.org.pl: abial owned process doing -bs Date: Thu, 21 Jan 1999 00:54:47 +0100 (CET) From: Andrzej Bialecki X-Sender: abial@korin.warman.org.pl To: Jerry Hicks cc: freebsd-small@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Know what would be cool?

You missed my point. Of course, this is possible, but it's not quite easy for someone not highly experienced with FreeBSD. My point was to make this process easier, not more complicated... ;) Andrzej Bialecki -------------------- ++-------++ ------------------------------------- ||PicoBSD|| FreeBSD in your pocket?
