Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I have a writetable optical drive that uses 256 optical diskettes. Since my 1G hard drive contains important data and is almost full, I want to leave it alone. I wonder if I can use just the floppy to boot FreeBSD and use the magneto-Optical disketts only. The rewriteable optical drive is a OCEAN MOST V256 (a SCSI device but not configured as a boot device). I could configure a 256M magneto-optical disk but the boot floppy always looks for a hard drive. Is there anyway to boot from the floppy and use the OCEAN optical drive only? Another question I have is how to swap the Caps and Ctrl keys in FreeBSD. Thanks for any information.

Thanks. 100*100/66 is 151.

Date: Sun, 26 Feb 95 16:22:53 -0500 X-Mts: smtp Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, everyone: I have a big problem here. In my 486DX2-66, I partitioned 1 Gig disk into two parts. The first 250M is Dos partition, and the rest is FreeBSD. Today, when I was installing a Window software, I didn't pay too much attention about how much disk space left in the Dos partition, and the software package saw there are lots disk space "free". So it happily exceed the dos partition limit and overwrite part of FreeBSD partition. The Dos/Win application took 253M in total, so it overwrites 3M disk space at the beginning of FreeBSD partition. Is there any way, I can get part of FreeBSD file system back without starting from scratch? Or at least temporary back, so I can save some files into floppy disks? For future note: how to prevent this kind of things happen again? Any advise is welcome!

Stupp) Subject: FreeBSD Loads but will not boot. content-length: 1499 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, Having had no success getting Linux on my machine I decided to try FreeBSD. I was encouraged when the installation process allowed me to go all the way through. The disk was split and the operating system installed. Unfortunately when I went to boot I received the following panic message "Can't handle 32 heads from partition table (Controller value 16 restored), cannot mount root", and then the system reboots. I thought perhaps that it was my pci controller (being 32 bit) and I removed it only to find the same problem. I changed the enhanced IDE settings in the bios to ignore large disks (>540 MB) since this is the appropriate setting for other unix systems on this machine. To make a long story short, here is a list of my equipment, any help would be greatly appreciated. I really want to get some type of unix on my machine so that I can possibly contribute in the near future. ACER Pentium 90Mhz, 16MB RAM, PCI 810MB Conner HD running PCI PCI NITRO - Video Card BTW, I used a utility that I received with Linux called fips. This program allowed me to change the size of my dos partition without having to fdisk it. It comes with many warnings but worked fine on my machine. I did not see any mention of it in your installation documentation. Perhaps you may want to look into it. I probably saved me a great deal of grief. Sincerely, Perry A.

For all PC hackers I'm sure this won't surprise you... but I finally figured out why I couldn't install FreeBSD V2.0R on my 486DX2/66. It turns out when I was originally installing the system I selected "OPTIMAL" for the BIOS settings (AMI) assuming that this would be a relatively safe thing to do. Wrong. Apparently this sets up some stuff (I'm not exactly sure of what... perhaps the cacheing status of 640KB-1MB). In any case, I finally went and reset the BIOS to pokey mode (turns the clock to 8MHz, no cacheing of any type). I then upped the clock to 33Mhz, enabled the caches. That's it... left everything else the "default" settings for "pokey" mode. Bingo... everything works fine. V2.0R installed like a dream. So, the moral of the story is... things can appear to be working fine for MS-DOS/Windows (yea big surprise here) but not be entirely correct. In my case, these BIOS issues resulted in a kernel panic during installation (duplicate alloc). Really strange. - Jeff From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Feb 27 10:10:15 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id KAA00757 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 27 Feb 1995 10:10:15 -0800 Received: from who.cdrom.com (Who.cdrom.com [192.216.222.3]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with ESMTP id KAA00751 for ; Mon, 27 Feb 1995 10:10:13 -0800 Received: from cdrom.com (wc.cdrom.com [192.216.223.37]) by who.cdrom.com (8.6.8/8.6.6) with SMTP id KAA04903 for ; Mon, 27 Feb 1995 10:08:57 -0800 Received: by cdrom.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA13628; Mon, 27 Feb 95 10:09:40 PST From: seidl@cdrom.com (Matthew L.

Date: Mon, 27 Feb 95 20:42:24 +0100 From: Tore Oerpetveit Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Dear Sir. I have downloaded FreeBSD 2.0 with XFree86-3.1. Now I experience some problems installing this software. I have downloaded to a PC, and the files are stored under an MS-DOS-partition on my hard disk. Installing the FreeBSD-binarys from this works just fine. The problem starts when I want to install XFree86. The first obstacle I encountered was the filenames. As You know, MS-DOS won't allow filenames longer than 8 characters. Some of the XFree files have names that are quite a bit longer than this. Renaming the files and changing the install-files won't work, as the install-utility looks for a directory called XFree86-3.1, a name longer than our beloved MS-DOS will allow... Next attemt: installing from an UFS (FreeBSD) partition. After installing the bindist, I extracted the XFree86 distribution to an UFS-partition, together with the rest of the FreeBSD dist. I then started a new installation, where I mounted this partition on /mnt. The distribution was just as I found it om the FTP-site. Now the installation utility wouldn't even install the bindist... On first try, nothing happened. Second try: "Not a valid distribution" I didn't give up. In the install-instructions it said that, next to a FTP-installation, a tape installation was the second best. Well, let us try the tape. I put the contents of my FreeBSD distribution partition on a QIC-80 tape (by using "tar | ft" as shown in the manpage for ft.) When I tried to install from this tape, nothing happened. I was just told to insert the tape, and then that no dist. was found. The installation utility did never even try to read the tape. Yes, I tried both the QIC-80 and floppy-tape choise, as my QIC-80 tape is connected to the floppy controller. Now I really don't know what to do! If You could tell me what I'm doing wrong, and maybe what to do to get it right, I would really appretiate it. Yours Tore PS: please ignore any spelling errors; English is not the language I feel I master the better...

Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, there used to be a utility in 1.1.5 called "st" for manipulating scsi tapes. The classic "mt" program wouldn't recognise the device type of my scsi DAT (Wangtek?) drive, but st worked fine. After having upgraded my system to 2.0R months ago I finally got round to doing a backup and found that mt still doesn't work and st seems to have dissappeard. Any work arounds ? or source for st ?

I was trying to install it and ran into a problem. I have about 800 MB left on my hard drive, but I partitioned it a long time ago into one 1GB partition (the same size as my hard drive). I was running your install program and couldn't do anything because the 1GB partition is for DOS and there is no more room on the disk. Can I make a partition for FreeBSD on my hard drive with your install program or am I going to have to format my hard drive and FDisk the drive again into several partitions (an option I would really like to avoid)?

The CD had utilities to create a boot disk and a CPIO disk. I was able set up my FreeBSD partition and got all the way to the sysinstall utility, where I would load the unix utilities from CD, FTP, dos diskette, etc. When I attempt to load from my CD, it gives me the choices of SCSI or Mitsimu type CDROM. I have a Wearness IDE CDROM, and the system doesn't recognize it. I'm really not concerned with the unix system not recognizing the CDROM, I just want to be able to finish the installation. My FreeBSD partition is actually a second 420mb drive (the entire disk is one partition). I do have 800+mb spare in a DOS partition on my first disk that I could use tp load the unix utilities from. I just xcopied everything from the CD to the dos partition and then tried to finish the installation, but the sysinstall wouldn't recognize if I tried wd(0,a) or wd(1,a) or hd in place of wd. The dos partition is the third partition on the first drive (after 1 FAT primary, and 1 HPFS logical from the extended). Any help or suggestions on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

The main sticking point is the definition of these variables: setenv XNLSPATH /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls setenv XKEYSYMDB /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB And the creation of the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls directory, since all of the locale stuff has changed with X11R6. Ignore the extract if you have XFree86 2.x instead of 3.x. Here is a tar'd, gzip'ped, uuencode'd version.

My xdm config is stock X11R6. Is it given options to do an XGrabInput()/XGrabKeyboard()/XGrabMouse() such that all input goes to the xdm no matter what (for security reasons)? Apparently this may no longer be an option (checking the sources). How about this: you said that if you run xdm it doesn't work. How about if you don't run xdm -- does it still not work?

The message "Missing Operating System" comes from the DOS master boot record when the partition marked active does not have the correct hex stamp at the end of the boot record. Since the BSD boot code has the correct stamp, there are only two possibilities: 1) You didn't write the BSD boot code to the disk. This case is easily checked from the BSD fdisk program; thus I will reject it as trivial to correct. 2) The BSD boot code was written to the disk, only it was not written where it was supposed to go. This case may be the result of a non-linear translation of the drive (in which case you must turn off translation OR use the entire drive for BSD). This is what WD1007 ESDI controllers do; the translation is nono-linear because they reserve replacements to pretend to have "perfect media" in the middle of the driver rather than grouped at the end. There is also the possibility that the drive translation is done via an MBR loaded INT13 redirector, such as the one provided by OnTrack systems in version 6.x or above of OnTrack disk utilities. All major drive manufacturers and OEM's use OnTrack's code. The MBR redirector means that the real MBR is hidden by subtraction out of the sector offset on the drive when the INT13 redirector is active. This basically means that there is then a discrepancy between the BIOS apparent start-of drive and the BSD apparent start-of-drive. This is 69 sectors. If you boot with a DOS disk instead of from the DOS partition of the hard disk, and run pfdisk.exe to dump the partition table at the real start-of-drive, you will see a partition type 0x54 that spans the entire drive. To resolve the problem, you must make a differential of 69 sectors between the BSD absolute sector offsets in the BSD disklabel and the BIOS partition offsets. You must then modify the BSD fdisk program to write the BSD partition information at a +69 sector offset. This ensures that it goes into the partition table that BIOS sees after the bootstrap redirector loading MBR has patched the INT 13 vector. Once in protected mode, BSD itself attempts to use the disklabel to mount root, etc.. This is why you need the 69 sector differential, since the protected mode drivers will be reading from the physical start of disk, not the BIOS apparent start of disk. Unfortunately, the drive geometry is *still* not being passed in via the boot blocks instead of being interpolated; this means that most if this still can not be done automatically. I have some code that I've been working on with the help of an engineer at OnTrack that would deal with some of these issues, but it is still far from ready. Unfortunately, this is also complicated by the existance of other MBR based INT 13 redirector software (used by non-major OEM's and drive manufacturer's 8-)). Most EIDE drives have this code preinstalled. Gateway and Compaq tend to install the code as well. I haven't seen a Dell system with it in place yet, but I'm sure I will.

Adding just the def for XKEYSYMDB results in suppression of the keysym complaints but then when the 'outline' of the Netscape window appears, and you position it somewhere on the screen and click the mouse it, it places a copy of the window in the screen. A window outline is still attached to the pointer and each time the mouse is clicked it places another copy of the Netscape window at that pointer position etc. Looks like if you define XKEYSYMDB you must have nls. kim -- kimc@w8hd.org From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Feb 28 17:49:19 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id RAA28102 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 28 Feb 1995 17:49:19 -0800 Received: from amalfi.trl.OZ.AU (amalfi.trl.OZ.AU [137.147.99.99]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with ESMTP id RAA28092 for ; Tue, 28 Feb 1995 17:49:08 -0800 Received: from orca1.vic.design.telecom.com.au ([145.136.55.131]) by amalfi.trl.OZ.AU (8.6.10/8.6.9) with SMTP id MAA06636; Wed, 1 Mar 1995 12:31:59 +1100 Received: from netbsd08.dn.itg.telecom.com.au by orca1.vic.design.telecom.com.au with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA00378; Wed, 1 Mar 95 12:39:02 +1100 Received: from netbsd08.dn.itg.telecom.com.au (netbsd08.dn.itg.telecom.com.au [144.139.63.32]) by netbsd08.dn.itg.telecom.com.au (8.6.8/8.6.6) with SMTP id JAA20272; Wed, 1 Mar 1995 09:59:13 +0800 Date: Wed, 1 Mar 1995 09:59:13 +0800 (WST) From: Terry Dwyer To: Terry Lambert Cc: Lars Koeller , yergeau@gloworm.Stanford.EDU, freebsd-questions@freefall.cdrom.com Subject: Re: netscape on 1.1.5?

I haven't seen any in ages (but I have one for 1.1.5.1, acquired long ago). 2) How about netscape? Their generic386bsd binary does not want to run on my system. The next pertains to upgrading from 1.1.5.1 to 2.0: I have been happily running FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 for about 6 months now. I have a fairly mature system, and I am loathe to change, but the lack of shared memory and FIFO support is killing me [I understand shared memory is possible, but I never figured it out; the FIFO stuff was incomplete however, even if I compiled my kernel with the FIFO option]. So, I'm thinking about upgrading. My questions are: 1) Should I go to 2.0-R or wait for 2.1 to stabilize or what? 2) Does 2.0-R have built in support for the NCR SCSI controller? I added this in myself last time, including several options. 3) Will I still be able to run my 1.1.5.1 binaries? I have a LOT of them. 4) Is there a FAQ or something that addresses upgrading and how to do it? I'm not even sure which distributions I'll need. I'm not even sure if I can upgrade directly or not... 5) Assuming I can upgrade, how much of my old filesystem do I need to save, and need it all be renamed, in order for 1.1.5.1 binaries to coexist with the newer (entirely new) version of the OS? Will 1.1.5.1 libs and binaries need to be kept separately from the new stuff? Sorry I have so many questons, but I am paranoid about trashing my filesystem or introducing too many bugs with a new kernel. I have been very pleased with the OS, and it is too useful for me to trash (not to mention the work I put into getting things "together"). I haven't seen any real documentation except for installing from scratch, and I _really_ hope that's not my only option. Thanks for any and all help! Keep up the good work!

We are an ISP that had been using Interactive Unix and Solaris machines. In November I started migrating everything to FreeBSD/Pentium boxes. I only have on Interactive Unix box left - soon it will go too. Things seem to be working out just fine. A lot better than I'd expected frankly. We have a *bunch* of uucp and a modest but growing ppp. There are problems in the 2.0-RELEASE cd that you need to get some patches for. I recommend setting up one machine using the latest SNAP and another box that is "sup-ing" the latest sources. That way you can check out bugs on the "current" machine and compare the behavior to the prior SNAP. > Does anyone know if >there is hardware (like a DigiBoard) to connect multiple modems to one >machine. We use an "annex-3" terminal server as the front end for our service. A T1's worth of modem lines plus a handfull of local lines come into the annex. I've hacked the annex security server so that it can recognize if you are a ppp or a uucp incoming call. Very soon another T1 of modem lines will be here (sigh). If you are uucp you get automatically "rlogin'ed" to the uucp server, if you are PPP you just get routed out the cisco through the other T1. This way the FreeBSD box does not have the load of the PPP traffic (other than nnrp). FreeBSD does have a native PPP now, but I decided not to use it for performance reasons. You will also find a large performance problem as you add more serial interrupts to one box. We make heavy use of sendmail, name service, and inn. Partition your disk with a bunch of swap space. I use 128Mb swap. Rebuild your kernel with MAX_USERS raised above 10. Inspect your network parameters with netstat - pump up any other parameters. If you do what I do with a terminal server front end you will need to increase npty's. More inodes on your news partition than default, ect. The generic kernel's target environment is for a smaller setup. I don't recommend using a serial board or serial driver inside the P90.

What always get me by it (this may be totally different from what's happening with you) is to repeatedly tap the num lock key while it's booting. ie. hit turn on the computer, right before it hits the floppy start tapping num lock until you see the FreeBSD boot prompt. Don't ask me why this works, I have no clue, but it DOES work. My computer would not boot (it would lock) any I did this and it fixed it. Then I tried it again to make sure it wasn't a fluke. -jeff -- Jeff Hoffman -- jeffh@cybernetics.net ------------------------------------- "A man facing the light looks not into sorrow, but to to the future...always."

It would appear that the probe is simpler than possible. It only does about half of what the keyboard probe in syscons does. In particular, it doesn't read the second byte returned in response to the reset command. It doesn't test that the data it reads is ready, but the much longer delay than in syscons probably allows things to work. The syscons probe seems to be missing a test for the data to be ready in one place.

The slip connection to the FreeBSD machine works great. I can telnet, ftp and ping to/from the SLIP connected machine. I've recompiled my FreeBSD kernel and added the options gateway statement as described in the FAQ, and the FreeBSD machine forwards the packets to the correct IP address on the LAN (I can see it on a LAN analyzer). My problem is, I can see the target machine responding to the FreeBSD machine on a network analyzer, but the FreeBSD machine is not forwarding the packets to the machine connected via slip.

Note that drives like the Quantum Empire 2100S are capabile of 5MB/sec transfer rates, so 2 of them on a fast scsi-ii bus pretty much kill the scsi bus. And these are only 5400 RPM drives, now image what happens if you are running a couple of Quantum Grand Prix 4301 7200 RPM drives, these should do close to 6.7MB/sec. For that you would really want to go with a wide controller and wide drives. > Opinions would be very appreciated. If you want top performance the premium for fast wide scsi disks can bring some real benifits.

Yet, I am still having a problem. The machine is a DEC P5-90 with a 1.2gig ATA/IDE hard drive. This system has been running FreeBSD in the past, and was installed around 6 months ago. Now I am having to reinstall it, and am running into a situation where I simply cannot get it to boot off of the hard disk. I know its a geometry mapping problem, but I cannot seem to correct it. I have the 'Large Disk Access Mode' option in the BIOS setup set to 'Other' (which is says is for Unix/etc). When I run utilities like IDEINFO under DOS, it reports different BIOS geometry than physical disk geometry. I don't remember having this much trouble the first time I installed FreeBSD, but I've been working on this for a while now with no success. Any ideas or pointers would be GREATLY appreciated. - Mike _____ __ __ Michael F.

This computer is an old AT&T 6386, we figured it was a > hardware incompatability. As an AT&T 6386 WGS, there are a lot of potential problems. Is this a 6386 WGS (25 MHz desktop), a 6386/E WGS (33MHz tower), or one of the personal systems that come by default with an IDE? The 25's used to come with WD7000-FASST SCSI interfaces, and the 33's used to come with a single 330M ESDI. My first working 386BSD 0.1 box was a 6386 25 with the WD1007 (jumpered for "perfect media") with the controller and ESDI drive from from one of the E's. There is a major big time problem with DMA on the 33's which kept every ethernet card we tried from working, except some old 3COM 3C503's. The AT&T patch for the AT&T NAU ethernet boards was to rewrite the memory contents, reading until it was correct, before triggering a send. This is basically the patch they gave to Davis County, which also has a bunch of 6386/E WGS's. The guy who wrote the original driver was Kurt Mahon (yes, the guy who used to live in the office exactly one floor below me at Novell, Sandy). He said that this was the only possible fix. Typically, I'd suggest 3COM cards to avoid the problem. Barring that, jumper an extra wait state into the thing and avoid the 0x3xx address range on your cards. Oh, and disabling the serial ports won't get them out of the way as far as address range goes. The things use the same Intel manufactured motherboards that made the Intel 302's (resold by Unisys on the Desktop III contract -- I worked on OpenNet for that contract) require the Ungerman-Bass boards to do networking at all. Sorry, I don't have any of the old notes that I took while beating the things into usability. There are currently two 6386/E's in service as FreeBSD boxes and one as a NetBSD box, and one 6386 25 as a 386BSD 0.1 + patchkit box, currently in service at Weber right now. All the 33's are running *ONLY* 3COM cards. Terry Lambert terry@cs.weber.edu --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

Folks, my name is Aaron and I'm yet another lost soul in search of wisdom, etc., ... I am fairly unix competent, but haven't much experience with starting from scratch. The problem at hand regards installing FreeBSD 2.0 from the Walnut Creek CDROM. I built the boot and cpio floppies no problem from my second hand external Gentech CDROM drive. The initial kernel was installed on the hard disk, but when I boot from it, it cannot find the CDROM drive. I even boot kernel -c and change address, IRQ, DRQ to match the settings on the controller card, i.e., 0x300, 5, 3, but still no luck.So, the questions are : 1. Is this Gentech CDROM incompatible? It is ISO9660 compliant. What am I doing wrong? 2. Where can I get a table that identifies all of the devices probed at bootup? 3.

I am running 1.1, and want to add a floppy based tape drive to my system. I have been given an old tape drive, an APTEC (Alloy Peripheral Technology) APT-40 model 500, made in 1987. I have no docs, but think it's QIC-40 compatible. As an aside to this post, any info on the tape drive would be appreciated. I added a line to my config file: tape ft0 drive 2 as indicated in the 1.1 version of the FAQ, recompiled the kernel, and after installation, the tape drive is inaccessible. The best I have found is "Operation not supported by device" when trying various methods to copy to or read from the drive. I have done a MAKEDEV for ft0, this creates device ft0, ft0a, rft0, and rft0a, and all attempts to access these devices (i.e. special files) results in error. I think that there may be something else I have to do that I'm not aware of. I've tried ft, ftinfo, tar, etc, all with no luck when directed at the drive. One possibility I am currently re-building to test, is that I have only a single floppy drive on the machine, hence a drive 0, but no drive 1, on the controller. I guessed that possibly the probe stops when it finds no drive 1, and hence does not get to the specified tape as drive 2. I am rebuilding a kernel with fd1, i.e. drive 1, commented out, and tape ft0 indicated as drive 1, to test this possibility. Any help would be appreciated. Please don't tell me to upgrade to 2.0, as I want to wait for at least 2.1 to arrive and stabilize before doing that upgrade.

FreeBSD handles partitions a little differently than Linux. You generally only have one FreeBSD partition per disk. Within that disk you can have one or more "slices". The second slice (b), will be the swap slice.

My CD-ROM drive is attached to a Pro Audio Spectrum 16 sound card. My disk controller is an Adaptec 2842. When I tried to install FreeBSD from CD-ROM, the installation program cound not find my CD-ROM drive. Upon further inspection, I noticed the following message in the kernel "pas0 not probed due to i/o address conflict with ahc0 at 0x1f88". For ahc0 -- "ahc0 at 0x1000 - 0x1fff irq 11 on eisa". I could not manage to get FreeBSD to recognize my CD-ROM drive without disabling my disk controller (ahc0) which caused the panic message and reboot. If there is any solution to this I would appreciate if you could tell me. The only solution I can think of is to hook the CD-ROM directly to my Adaptec controller, but I would prefer other options as I would have to switch the SCSI cable any time I switched from DOS to BSD because I have programs already set for the previous configuration. Sorry about going off on this. I'd appreciate any help...Thanks...

Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I just received O'Reilly's 4.4BSD manual set, with accompanying CDROM of 4.4BSD-Lite. To find out if there's much code in common with FreeBSD2.0R, I decided to compare /cdrom/4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys with /usr/src/sys. So I cobbled a perl script which asks the central question: for each file in the /usr/src/sys tree, is there a matching file in the /cdrom/4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys tree which is identical? If so, it's a candidate to become a symlink and save me some disk space. Well, I was disappointed. Only 11 out of 602 files had identical mates on the /cdrom. Following a sneaking suspicion, I found that if I replace `cmp $a $b` in the script with `diff $a $b` and checked for an output of two or less lines, I had 87 out of 602 files which I could replace with symlinks. A single line has been added to all of the source files, for RCS. It looks like: * stdarg.h,v 1.5 1994/08/02 07:39:09 davidg Exp I'd like someone with a 2.0R FreeBSD CDROM, who is tracking -current or 2.1dev., or any other variant, to run this script, and on a wider tree than /usr/src/sys, perhaps /usr/src. I'd like to know about how much disk space an updated distribution will take, and how that grows over time. Obviously, I could build a 2.0R kernel easily with no disk space, other than symlinks (and binaries of course :-). I guess what I'm interested in is the dynamics of a static CDROM, and the rate at which it becomes obsolete. At the risk of derision for making such grungy code public, here's the script I ran.

You need to examine your hardware, write down the locations of all the cards, and then reboot with -c and change it before the kernel becomes active. This should solve your problem. I don't think your adaptec would work at all if they were truly conflicting.

It "may" properly probe the card. If it gets past the probe, it should work fine. There is some funny timing issue on the probe that is causing problems. I wrote the driver, but I did it blind.

Specificly I need to get either Cnews or INN running. The method I used is as follows, hope this is the Right Thing: Make a directory where you want to build the port, like /usr/local/inn Copy the directory tree from the top level of port; on the FreeBSD 2.0R cdrom say: cp -R your_cd_mount_point/ports/news/inn /usr/local/inn Go to /usr/local/inn and type make. It'll try to ftp the inn1.4sec source from an ftp site so you'll want to be connected at this time. When the transfer is done it then uncompresses and un-tars the transferred file and then builds inn on your machine -slick! You'll want to read the INN faq's (actually try to read all of them if you can..) then edit the config.data file and reset some things if you want, like where the news articles are spooled etc. Then rebuild according to the Install docs. The only problem I've found is Innwatch exhibits a weird delayed-crash action which I won't describe now but I've been running INN without the benefit of Innwatch for a week now. Maybe this weekend I'll try to figure that out.

Yes, the 3c503 is supported and works well considering that most of them are only 8bit cards (there are some newer ones that are 16bit). The problem in your case is simply that FreeBSD is expecting the card at ioaddr 300. At the boot> prompt, type '-c'. This will cause the kernel to stop in "userconfig" before probing the devices. You can then change the address of the card. Use the "help" command to see how to do this. Once you get things up and running, you should either change the address of your card to match the kernel, or build a custom kernel with the proper address. -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Mar 4 09:46:19 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id JAA04315 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 4 Mar 1995 09:46:19 -0800 Received: from gilbertr.npt.nuwc.navy.mil (GILBERTR.NPT.NUWC.NAVY.MIL [129.190.75.33]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id JAA04309 for ; Sat, 4 Mar 1995 09:46:18 -0800 Received: (from root@localhost) by gilbertr.npt.nuwc.navy.mil (8.6.9/8.6.9) id MAA18048 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Sat, 4 Mar 1995 12:47:18 GMT Date: Sat, 4 Mar 1995 12:47:18 GMT From: Charlie Root Message-Id: <199503041247.MAA18048@gilbertr.npt.nuwc.navy.mil> To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: 3c503 ELII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk >Hi, > > I just bought a FreeBSD 2.0 cdrom and tried to load it from the >CDROM drive on a Sun machine over the local ethernet network. >The FreeBSD diskettes don't seem to recognize my 3COM, 3C503 ethernet >card. :-( >The 3C503, Etherlink II card is at address 280, which has worked for >other operating systems. >What is the best ethernet card for FreeBSD? >Can the 3C503 ever work with FreeBSD? >Thanks... > > -Bob >From: Robert Fickling I am using the 3c503 ELII right now.

I just installed FreeBSD 2.0 last night and had a question about mouse support. When I tried kicking off X via startx, it complained about /dev/mouse not being configured. Do I need to rebuild the kernel for this one? If so, (heck, even if not), could you just give a really quick overview on this. I'm pretty sure that I know what to do but I've never done it. Is it basically: 1) Modify a COPY of one of the existing config files(GENERIC, etc.). 2) config new file 3) go up a directory or two (to force libkern to be built) and doing make depend and then make? 4) Move the old /kernel to something like /kernel.old and the new one to /kernel. 5) Reboot. ?? 2.0 seems to have a lot of thought behind it (the installation was great -- although it hung during the extraction of X -- also, I can't seem to be able to just rerun /sbin/sys_install without having to respecify new mount points etc. I ended up just copying the X directory hierarchy from /file_sys/usr/X11R6 off the CD) Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've noticed that on 1.1.5.1 system that some programs stay alive after you close a session (telnet). If I telnet to a 1.1.5.1 machine and run "yes" and then close the session, and then telnet back in, "yes" is still running (and eating CPU time). If I do a kill -HUP on it, it immediately dies. Is this a 1.1.5.1 bug?
