If someone goes to the work to extract the bits we need (primarily chipset support), then sure. However it can be difficult to determine how something works by reading the code; code tends to leave out those details that are important when deriving your own implementation. Also the license may not allow for such copying, or the hardware support stuff could be a binary blob. -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org From owner-freebsd-sparc64@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Jun 20 05:42:34 2005 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-sparc64@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-sparc64@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id ACEA216A41C for ; Mon, 20 Jun 2005 05:42:34 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from bsd@bathnetworks.com) Received: from lmail.bathnetworks.co.uk (mail.bathnetworks.com [84.92.24.252]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id ECD9443D48 for ; Mon, 20 Jun 2005 05:42:33 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from bsd@bathnetworks.com) Received: (qmail 29340 invoked by uid 510); 20 Jun 2005 05:43:40 +0000 Received: from 84.92.24.252 by lmail.bathnetworks.co.uk (envelope-from , uid 508) with qmail-scanner-1.24-st-qms (clamdscan: 0.85/888. spamassassin: 3.0.2. perlscan: 1.24-st-qms.

It tries to boot from the CDROM but I get short read the files does not appear to be executable. I have tried with bot 5.3 and 5.4. The boot only iso does boot though. I have tried with disks obtained from a Uk supplier with the same result so I doubt it is the CDs cusing the problem. The system has Solaris 9 installed and this can read the CDs so it looks like the CRROM is OK. I would like to try a floppy drive boot, the handbook gives some info, but refers to Section 1.3 to make the boot disks but this is blank. The release note for 5.4 also refers to floppy booting, but there are no floppy images in the release on the FTP site, or the 5.3 disks. Help!

So I started playing with kbd driver a bit and so far it works for me. The patch is the same that I already sent a while ago: http://www.ijs.si/~lesi/xorg/patch-bsd_KbdMap.c.2 However, there are some glitches to go with that. It seems that old 'keyboard' driver needs Xkb options to make it work properly, like so: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "keyboard" Option "XkbRules" "sun" Option "XkbModel" "type5" EndSection Those two behave completely wrong with 'kbd' and above patch though. So to make things work with 'kbd', either no Xkb options is needed or something like the following to specify them explicitly: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" EndSection The patch for x11-servers/xorg-server is at http://www.ijs.si/~lesi/xorg/sparc/xorgserver682-chg3.diff To test this, you need to rebuild/reinstall xorg-server with WITH_SPARC_KBD switch enabled, so something like WITH_SPARC_KBD= yes is needed in /etc/make.conf. And here's a package for CURRENT: http://www.ijs.si/~lesi/xorg/sparc/xorg-server-6.8.2_2.tgz I'll eventually set up something to get RELENG_5 package, but it will take me some time... There are still some missing keys (eg the one on the left side of this keyboard), but I believe that this should be solved by: http://www.mail-archive.com/devel%40xfree86.org/msg07242.html Dejan From owner-freebsd-sparc64@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Jun 20 20:34:53 2005 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-sparc64@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-sparc64@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 40F5716A41C for ; Mon, 20 Jun 2005 20:34:53 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from bsd@bathnetworks.com) Received: from lmail.bathnetworks.co.uk (mail.bathnetworks.com [84.92.24.252]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 852BD43D55 for ; Mon, 20 Jun 2005 20:34:51 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from bsd@bathnetworks.com) Received: (qmail 5791 invoked by uid 510); 20 Jun 2005 20:35:57 +0000 Received: from 84.92.24.252 by lmail.bathnetworks.co.uk (envelope-from , uid 508) with qmail-scanner-1.24-st-qms (clamdscan: 0.85/888. spamassassin: 3.0.2. perlscan: 1.24-st-qms.

A Ultra 60 is a bit different. When doing Linux you have to make sure that Solairs and Linux do not step on each other, install silo to the / not the MBR because Sun does not have one and boot each drive via OBP. So how do you doing it in FreeBSD? On Jun 20, 2005, at 9:14 PM, Brett D.

Opps, sorry. I misread the mailing list this is. Even SIMPLER than my previous (x86) reply. Easiest is to have two hard drives installed. Install Solaris or FreeBSD in any order. Turn off the auto-boot feature (set auto-boot? false), then use 'boot disk0' or 'boot disk1' to multi-boot. You can also install both FreeBSD and Solaris on the same disk. Unlink some architectures (like Alpha), FreeBSD/Sparc (and Solaris) don't care if / is on the 'a' partition, nor if / is the first partition on the disk. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) From owner-freebsd-sparc64@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Jun 21 09:25:36 2005 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-sparc64@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-sparc64@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 75D9A16A41C for ; Tue, 21 Jun 2005 09:25:36 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from freebsd@kellners.de) Received: from natnoddy.rzone.de (natnoddy.rzone.de [81.169.145.166]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E3BDC43D58 for ; Tue, 21 Jun 2005 09:25:35 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from freebsd@kellners.de) Received: from kellners.de (p5496716B.dip.t-dialin.net [84.150.113.107]) by post.webmailer.de (8.13.1/8.13.1) with ESMTP id j5L9PX0C007671 for ; Tue, 21 Jun 2005 11:25:33 +0200 (MEST) Received: by kellners.de (Postfix, from userid 1001) id 6D4EA632A; Tue, 21 Jun 2005 11:25:10 +0200 (CEST) Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2005 11:25:10 +0200 From: Dagobert Kellner To: freebsd-sparc64@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20050621092510.GD688@kellners.de> Mail-Followup-To: freebsd-sparc64@freebsd.org References: <1119311220.6674.236792844@webmail.messagingengine.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <1119311220.6674.236792844@webmail.messagingengine.com> User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.9i X-kellners.de-MailScanner-Information: Please contact the ISP for more information X-kellners.de-MailScanner: Found to be clean X-MailScanner-From: freebsd@kellners.de Subject: Re: 5.4 install on Ultra10 X-BeenThere: freebsd-sparc64@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Porting FreeBSD to the Sparc List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2005 09:25:36 -0000 Hi, it depends on how you upgrade your system. If you build your system out of the sources and use your old kernel-config, it should be no problem. If you use sysinstall, which installs the standard kernel, you will have the same problem.

OBP can do a reasonable memory test with: diag-level Specifies the level or type of diagnostics that are executed. Default is max. * off - No testing. * min - Basic tests are run. * max - More extensive tests might be run, depending on the device. Memory is extensively checked. http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/hardware/docs/html/817-6957-10/Sebring-DiagsOn.html http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/SPARC-HOWTO-14.html -- Sten Spans "There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in."

I cannot install from the CDs, bit 5.4 and 5.3. I get a short read - file does not appear to be executable error. I have tied it with CD's I have burnt and ones from a supplier. Following a suggestion, I have also burn the iso images onto high grade CDs, this still did not work - same error. The U10 does have Solaris 9 installed and this can read the CD and all appears to be correct. I have tried charging the CDROM on the U10, but it refuses to recognise the replacement CDROM as being there. Thishappens with 2 different CDROMs not sure why this is. I've tried reset-all but this does not make any difference. Any suggestions? I can get the boot only iso to boot. However, whilst this allows me into the FreeBSD OS on the CD and start sysinstall, I cannot delete the Solaris slices, so I cannot setup the disk to install FreeBSD via FTP. Is there any way round this?

What I was trying to say is that I can open folders and files on the CD. I am not sure however that the CDs are ok, but I have burnt them myself on 2 deferent burners on 2 different machines using both Roxio and Nero. I also got NERO to do a verify afterwards. > > Best be really sure your box can read the installation media. > Use your existing Solaris (or move cdrom drive temporarily to another > host with some Unix) & read the cdrom image to hard disc, something like > > dd if=/dev/cdrom bs=2k of=bsd.iso > md5 bsd.iso > compare the MD5 with CHECKSUM.MD5 > > Warning: some cdrom device drivers return 1 x 2048 byte sector too many, > so you may need to trim before md5, with dd count=some_number Thanks Julian, I'll try that. I suspect that the problem lies with the CDROM itself. I tried changing if for other CDROMs and the U10 did not find them. Is there some limitation on what CDROMs that can be used with the U10?

Hmm. The disc1 image has the same sysinstall, so it would have the same problem. Can you run 'sunlabel' from the fixit shell to delete the labels? The bootonly ISO might not have 'sunlabel' available in the fixit shell, but the 5.4 disc1 would. You might be able to boot the bootonly CD and go into Fixit CD mode and pop in the disc1 CD when prompted though. -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org From owner-freebsd-sparc64@FreeBSD.ORG Thu Jun 23 18:54:03 2005 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-sparc64@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-sparc64@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 13AC016A429; Thu, 23 Jun 2005 18:54:03 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from jhb@FreeBSD.org) Received: from mv.twc.weather.com (mv.twc.weather.com [65.212.71.225]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id ABDC843D49; Thu, 23 Jun 2005 18:54:02 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from jhb@FreeBSD.org) Received: from [10.50.41.231] (Not Verified[65.202.103.25]) by mv.twc.weather.com with NetIQ MailMarshal (v6, 0, 3, 8) id ; Thu, 23 Jun 2005 15:07:33 -0400 From: John Baldwin To: freebsd-sparc64@freebsd.org Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2005 14:37:50 -0400 User-Agent: KMail/1.8 References: <1119526083.7606.11.camel@lmail.bathnetworks.co.uk> <1119549678.29881.237027609@webmail.messagingengine.com> <20050623182244.GA48910@dragon.NUXI.org> In-Reply-To: <20050623182244.GA48910@dragon.NUXI.org> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Message-Id: <200506231437.51814.jhb@FreeBSD.org> Cc: Subject: Re: Where are the Sparc64 Installation Boot Floppies?

It would be useful is the FreeBSD/sparc64 5.4-RELEASE Installation Instructions specifically for the Sparc64 said that the floppy images were not available instead of leaving section 1.3 blank. It would have saved me several hours of searching.

Sorry for the delay, but I committed the entry just now. It is a bit lengthy as you pointed out but the 5.4R release notes cannot be modified after the actual release, so I decided to add all of the necessary information to the 5.4R errata document. If you found something wrong please let me know.

I can get to the prompt. The problem I had originally was the CD images would not boot. I got short read etc, but I could boot the boot only iso. (Not sure why that would be is there a different Kernel?). The next problem was the I could not delete the Solaris slices already on the hard drive to make room for the FreeBSD files. However, I swapped the hard drive for a spare blank drive and hooray things started to happen. Although the sysinstall screen was screwed up a bit, I was able to install what I needed. Mu next question, is what version should I update too? The machine has creator graphics etc. I would like to use xwindows/kde. Many thanks to those who helped.

Make sure your devaliases haven't been messed with. You need to boot partition f off the cdrom otherwise you will get the "The read file does not appear to be executable" error since it'll get garbage instead of the OBP-compatible bootblock. I was installing an AXi today and needed to do "boot diskx6:f" to get the right thing to happen since the cdrom devalias was for the internal scsi channel and diskx6 specified no partition. Also I strongly suggest using a Sun-supplied CDROM drive and not a 3rd party one. They do funky things to the firmware and 3rd party drives are not likely to work. Its also entirely possible the drive is old enough that it can't read newer CD-Rs. -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org From owner-freebsd-sparc64@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Jun 25 04:47:16 2005 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-sparc@FreeBSD.org Delivered-To: freebsd-sparc64@FreeBSD.ORG Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5B05316A41C for ; Sat, 25 Jun 2005 04:47:16 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from dwhite@gumbysoft.com) Received: from carver.gumbysoft.com (carver.gumbysoft.com [66.220.23.50]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 483A043D53 for ; Sat, 25 Jun 2005 04:47:16 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from dwhite@gumbysoft.com) Received: by carver.gumbysoft.com (Postfix, from userid 1000) id 3BB3072DE5; Fri, 24 Jun 2005 21:47:16 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by carver.gumbysoft.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 36DA872DDD; Fri, 24 Jun 2005 21:47:16 -0700 (PDT) Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2005 21:47:16 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White To: Scott Hiemstra In-Reply-To: <20050625011044.3141543D48@mx1.FreeBSD.org> Message-ID: <20050624214553.W47411@carver.gumbysoft.com> References: <20050625011044.3141543D48@mx1.FreeBSD.org> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Cc: freebsd-sparc@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: Hardware List X-BeenThere: freebsd-sparc64@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Porting FreeBSD to the Sparc List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 25 Jun 2005 04:47:16 -0000 On Fri, 24 Jun 2005, Scott Hiemstra wrote: > I saw on the hardware page that the Enterprise 3000 wasn't listed but the > 3500 was listed as netboot only, they are similar so I thought I would try > anyway.

The "netboot only" entries are probably referring to the lack of driver for the built-in SCSI (esp), which was fixed a year or two ago. FreeBSD should now boot on any UltraSPARC II system. -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org
