first: WARNIG I don't speak english ! Hi, I'm trying to build an little diskless ISDN - router around an old 386/40 Mainboard with FreeBSD-current and the bisdn-0.97 package available from ftp.muc.ditec.de in /isdn. I have put into the Mainboard a WD8013, a TELES S0/16.3 card, a ancient 8 bit VGA, and 8 Mbytes of Memory. On the boothost machine (also FreeBSD-current) i have set up an extra rootfs and share the /usr fs with the host. The router is booting fine, but I think I have problems with the NFS based swap. I get some "still reboots" and many signal 11's from processes like sendmail, syslogd, inetd and others under heavy load. (tar cvfz /dev/null ./usr) I have tryed 3 Motherboards in the router ( two 486 and one 386 ) and two different Boothosts now, the problems are the same.... Maybe these are VM - problems ? a different problem: The tftpd on the Boothost logs the following after booting the diskless host: Sep 13 20:24:30 unicorn tftpd[6540]: tftpd: read: Connection refused I think, the tftpd is willing to read some status information from the tftp client, and there is no information available ... time out. The tree diskless SUN3/60 (used as Xterms) at work won't boot anymore from the FreeBSD Server with tftp for a while now, I havn't recoginzied this for some time, because there is also a SUN Sparc 2 as Bootserver... Has anyone the same problems ? Can anybody help here ? Holm PS: can we please include the bisdn-package into the CVS tree ? -- ******************************************************************************* * Holm Tiffe holm@geophysik.tu-freiberg.de * * Strasse der Einheit 26 * * 09599 Freiberg Germany Microsoft is not the Answer - * * Tel.: 49 3731 74233 Microsoft is the Question, * * UUCP: 49 3731 74200 unicorn!holm and the Answer is no ! * *******************************************************************************
