You can be pretty sure that the addresses and such are OK. The problems in this area are generally a matter of timing, and since the timing isn't documented, it's difficult to guess how a particular machine will react. This isn't just a FreeBSD problem, BTW. Most PC UNIX implementations have it, and commercial products like UnixWare seem to have the most trouble.

Why on earth did you get an ATAPI CDROM, then? A SCSI CDROM would beat the pants off of it and be a snap to install in a system like this! You are probably confusing the heck out of your BIOS.

I don't know what to do... :((( I'm not quite sure where you want us to go here... My suggestions: 1) Do NOT, DO NOT install from the FIPSd partition!! The MSDOS mount code will KILL that partition (which is probably what happened). Try using another method or disk. If you have a CDROM drive, try buying the CDROM. 2) I think your boot sector is screwed. Try using FDISK to clear the "FreeBSD" partition out, then install again using another method.

Put "-c" on the Boot: prompt at startup, enter "visual" mode and reconfigure the proper driver (I can't remember which) and make sure the IRQ, base address, and shared memory addresses are set properly.

Also if there's no reference on it, on the KERNEL file, the line options QUOTA will make your kernel kork with quota. Also, you must habilitate it on /etc/sysconfig. I didn't manage how to configure the system to put the quotas on, but I'm working on it.

Hubbard" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk ok, im having a lot of problems with raw sockets... they got so bad that if i run my program, it causes a kernel panic. im trying to send a UDP packet, but i need to create my own packet. So i crate a socket using this: socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_RAW) and then i create my own ip header and udp header and send them off. but, if i capture the packet on the way out (tcpdump -x), i notice that it has an extra IP header tacked on the front of it... and that headers protocol field is set to 0xff, which is IPPROTO_RAW. this breaks everything, since other OSs (freebsd too i guess, never tried) dont know what to do with the IPPROTO_RAW protocol. icmp: flatkitty.ishiboo.com protocol 0 unreachable that is what tcpdump returned me, flatkitty.ishiboo.com is a NT machine, altho i got the same thing back with linux, solaris, irix, aix, and hp-ux. i checked docs, i checked irc, i checked mailing list archives, and found recommendation to look at traceroute. which i did, and found the mysteriously undocumented IP_HDRINCL setsockopt() option. I looked into this in and found this: #define IP_HDRINCL 2 /* int; header is included with data */ the comment made me guess that if i setsockopt() it to 0, it would stop prepending the packet with an IP header. well, it didnt work... and i got to the point with it that it seemed like the only thing i could do, so i started guessing stuff... bad idea. I just randomly set IP_HDRINCL to 1 instead of 0, and every time i do it, i get a kernel panic: panic: m_copym and then it reboots in 15 seconds or if i hit a key twice. i have the code that does it and the binary also... i tried it 3 times, and it rebooted every one of the three times... i change the 1 back to 0 and it didnt reboot, it just didnt work like before :( my OS is FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE installed from the walnut creek cd. the machine is: Gigabyte 586/atpe motherboard Pentium 90mhz overclocked to 100mhz 32 megs ram Buslogic 946C SCSI 2 pci SCSI card generic NE2000 Ethernet card, BNC drives, video and monitor irrelevant if you can help with the panic problem or the extra header problem, please do so as soon as you can. also, if this is fixed in -current, let me know... also, would you mind explaining -current and -stable and -RELEASE? i think i have an understanding of the kernel, but since freebsd also includes more than just the kernel, would i need to upgrade everything just to use the new kernel? --Nirva From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 31 11:14:05 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id LAA13329 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 31 Mar 1996 11:14:05 -0800 (PST) Received: from chain.iafrica.com (chain.iafrica.com [196.7.74.174]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id LAA13316 for ; Sun, 31 Mar 1996 11:13:56 -0800 (PST) Received: (from khetan@localhost) by chain.iafrica.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) id VAA00593; Sun, 31 Mar 1996 21:18:31 +0200 Date: Sun, 31 Mar 1996 21:18:31 +0200 (SAT) From: Khetan Gajjar To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Returned mail: User unknown (fwd) Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: MULTIPART/MIXED; BOUNDARY="VAA00542.828299617/chain.iafrica.com" Content-ID: Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk This message is in MIME format.

It does not initiate DMA's. DMA completion is not the only thing that could cause an interrupt. A bad spot on the disk, two disks on the same controller, or an IDE CDROM can also trigger the problem. Since FreeBSD doesn't use bus mastering DMA, it doesn't trigger the bug if all you have is one disk, or two disks from the same manufacturer which are configured correctly (I have heard som reports on Conner, but nothing verified). Either way, it can't *hurt* FreeBSD for you to set the CMOS settings to get around the bug.

Because these things can lock up IDE controllers when you check for them and they aren't really there, the default boot floppies don't do this. Instead, there is an atapi.flp boot floppy you should use instead. Again, since you may have multiple IDE controllers in your system, you will have to boot -v and use the confuration program (it will ask you at the -v boot prompt) and tell it your IDE CDROM configuration. Even so, this means FreeBSD probably has 1/5th the kernels that are included with your average Linux distribution of a year ago.

FreeBSD's network code is _far_ superior to Linux's, and more importantly, is well documented in a pile of excellent books on TCP/IP networking.

The 'vulcan nerve pinch' isn't special - under DOS it's interpreted by the BIOS which causes a reboot, under FreeBSD it's handled by the keyboard driver. The command to the keyboard controller is supposed to strobe the CPU reset line - if the 'Keyboard reset failed' message shows, this has failed to happen. The shutdown code then tries to generate a triple fault, which should cause the CPU to reset, but this fails also on some motherboards. (Your friend quite likely has a UMC chipset on their motherboard). There's an option "BROKEN_KEYBOARD_RESET" that avoids using the keyboard reset technique because it causes some motherboards to hang, and thus the triple-fault technique never gets tried. In your friend's case, there is most likely nothing that can be done. > Melvin -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.

The problem is that fbsdboot is looking for the kernel/ root file system on wd0 (the first IDE drive). I think there is some option that you can use with fbsdboot to feed it a kernel readable from DOS (ie copy the kernel over to C: and call fbsdboot with it as an argument.

The GENERIC kernel can only use about 13 mb of my 128mb RAM. I followed the FAQ advise to add a kernel option options "MAXMEM=131072" and recompiled a new kernel. After I reboot the system, I saw the message: real memory : 133824572 (32672 pages) bad memory : 1048576 (256 pages) available memory: 13598720 (3320 pages) which means I can only use 13.5 mb of my 128mb RAM. It is very strange. When I use the GENERIC kernel to boot the system, I have the following message: real memory : 15173659 (3467 pages) available memory: 13774848 (3363 pages) There is no bad memories and the available memory seems even more than the new kernel.

If you're developing TCP/IP software, definitely FreeBSD. I just completed a project at work involving TCP/IP, and I developed it on my work machine, but it had to run on a Linux machine. There were several things that broke on Linux, most of which should have worked according to Linux's own man pages (most of which are just copied BSD man pages).

These are fairly costly items, I can only speak for 2-8GB 4mm DAT drives and unless you are only using them for occasional backup I would not recommend DAT. Here at a site we are running a nightly full backup of a NT server (under NT) and it turned out that after a couple of weeks that the head of the drive got worn out and older tapes could not be read with same drive any more.

I won't mention any names, but you know who you are. Please accept my thanks. I am still having one small problem though. I have dissabled the probing of com3 and com4 from my kernel, and the adapter goes nuts, and then blanks the screen. The only thing that works is to completely dissable all serial probes. I downloaded the 3.1.2D beta Xfree86 code, and it works just great ( I have a newer card with the "CT" chip set ). However, because I can't probe any of my serial ports, I can't get the mouse configured. I have read all the FAQ notes, and still haven't been successfull. Here is my system: 100 MHz pentium with onboard IDE/serial/parallel ports. (Intell chip set w/ 165550 compatable serial chip ) 256K pipeline cache 16M edo ram Adaptec 1520 scsi adapter ( ISA bus ) ATI Graphics Expression ( PCI bus w newer "CT" combined clock/RAMDAC chipset ) 3-Com 3c509combo ( ISA bus ) Logitech serial mouse ( 2 button, Microsoft compatable ) I have tried removing the 3c509, replacing the serial ports with true 8550 Uarts, and replacing the ATI adapter. The conflict is definately with the ATI adapter. It has 1 jumper which allows the Plug and play bios to relocate the I/O space so that it won't conflict with the serial port address. I have tried it in both modes ( relocatable and fixed ). I have also tried dissabling the Plug and play bios with the same result. If I replace the adapter with a generic vga card, then the serial port probe works fine, and so does X, but due to slot availability, I can't use this set-up permanently. I also figured that since someone has already done the work to make the Beta Xfree86 software, someone else would have already figured out how to make this card work. The only thing I haven't tried was to go to some sort of bus mouse. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I would appreciate a note.

FreeBSD does not have IBCS2 install tools, however, so installation can be tricky if the software uses SVR3 or SCO package installation (ie: it took me an hour longer than it would have to install SVR3 Sybase for a Human Genome Project database mirror for a geneticist friend of mine).

No such animal. 4mm tape drives go to 4GB. 4G media are more than twice as expensive as 2G media; unless you have a pressing need to put 4G on a single tape the only justification for buying a DDS-2 drive is extra speed. The Sony SDT-7000 would be a good buy in that category; it's claimed to be capable of over 700K/sec to/from the media (uncompressed) - we see around 400K/sec on an SDT-5200 here, and have been very happy with it. > and we want to make sure that we get one that we'll be happy with > the first time.

This is a well known bug, so don't feel bad :-) You must have missed question 7.10: -- from FAQ at http://www.freebsd.org -- 7.10. The workaround works fine, but now I want to use my serial ports. You'll have to build a new kernel with the following modification: in /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/sio.c find the one occurrence of the string 0x2e8 and remove that string and the preceding comma (keep the trailing comma). Now follow the normal procedure of building a new kernel. -- end -- More detail: in 2.1-RELEASE, it is line 342 (or somewhere near there :). It should read as follows: static Port_t likely_com_ports[] = { 0x3f8, 0x2f8, 0x3e8, }; Recompile, resintall, reboot, enjoy. > I have tried removing the 3c509, replacing the serial ports with true 8550 Uarts, > and replacing the ATI adapter. I sure hope you put 16550s back in... Remember that 3.1.2B has expired; you'll have to use 3.1.2D, which is working just great here.

At the moment only some cards by German manufacturers are supported. These cards are the Teles/Creatix S0/16, the Teles S0/16.3 (actually, this is under development) and the so-called niccy cards from Dr. Neuhaus. > Has anyone else any experience with ISDN and BSD ? > I, and a number of others here in Gemany, are using it with good success.

He lists a whole slew of cards there. There's even some company in the UK which makes an internal ISDN card that looks like a serial port.

Do you have all the documentation needed to write a driver which can talk to the board ? Like register descriptions, memory maps, etc. ? What does the board look like ? Is it memory-mapped, port-mapped, do you have to download code to it ? Lots of questions which can't be answered without more info. Linux supports lots of cards.

The problem is, that I still have that same problem, the floppy with the FreeBSD image will not boot, or won't really try. The disk begins to load for about 1 second but freezes. I have read all the sugestions allof you have sent me and I will reply to these: Binary Mode - I use Netscape 2.0 to save the boot.flp file to disk. I have a feeling this may be the problem. I have looked for options that suggest anything to do with binary with no success. I have even searched Netscape's help archives with the same result. No speak of saving in binary format. I have also tried however to tell my browser to save instead of view but for some reason it won't listen. Instead of viewing it however, I right click on the FTP boot.flp file (Windows 3.1) and select save to disk instead of viewing it. Will this work? It doesn't seem to have. I note that I have no problems saving graphic and program files (JPG, EXE). Rawrite - Seems to work fine, though I note that the previous10 times o r so that I have prepared the disk it has taken only about 40 seconds to do. Is that normal? The last time I tried about 20 minutes ago it took s ignificantly longer, about 2 minutes. Still freezes though. Downloaded boot.flp size - 1,232,594 bytes Floppy - I used various Verbatim 1.44 floppies with no errors whatsoever . It was also formatted using PC-DOS with no problem. My System - Pentium 100, 16M of RAM, Panasonic FDD, Quantum fireball 1.0 8 Gig HDD, on board controller, ISA game card, IBM token ring card. Windows 3.11, Netscape 2.0.I normally use Windows 95 but have to use PC -DOS to log on to the UNI networkand use the internet.

The original definitions of CR and LF are: Carriage return: return the carriage (print head) to the left margin. Line feed: rotate the platen one line forward without moving the carriage. UNIX abused LF to mean both functions, which saves space, but is still not correct. All HP LaserJets I know have configurable actions on CR and LF, although I've occasionally had difficulty setting them by menu. What you want is for LF to perform both functions, and CR to be ignored. That way, you can print either from UNIX or from DOG without reconfiguration. Sorry, I don't have a handbook handy, but I'm sure you'll find in the printer handbook.

All DDS-2 drives I know of offer compression, which in my experience gives about 90% more storage (i.e. 7.2 GB), though this is strongly dependent on the data (gzipped archives take up more space than uncompressed data of the same size). People *have* claimed that DDS-2 will offer up to 16 GB, and that DDS-1 (90m tapes, 2 GB uncompressed) will offer up to 8 GB, but that's so far from normal experience that I would consider it a lie. > 4G media are more than twice as expensive as 2G media; unless you > have a pressing need to put 4G on a single tape the only > justification for buying a DDS-2 drive is extra speed. Not so. I do a nightly backup of 8 GB on one machine. With DDS-2, I just do the backup. With DDS-1, I'd have to get up in the middle of the night to change the tape. Yes, the cartridges are more expensive. Over here, it's DM 10 for a 90m/4GB DDS-1 tape, and DM 28 for a 120m/8 GB DDS-2 tape, both figures compressed. Compare these prices to, say, DM 25 for a QIC-525 tape (520 MB), and the DDS-2 prices don't look that bad. > The Sony SDT-7000 would be a good buy in that category; it's claimed > to be capable of over 700K/sec to/from the media (uncompressed) - > we see around 400K/sec on an SDT-5200 here, and have been very > happy with it.

Above, you said 'es', now you're saying 'ash'. To the best of my knowledge, neither are standard with FreeBSD, though I at least know of ash. Do you have a particular reason to want to stay with this shell? Otherwise bash, ksh, or zsh should be upwards compatible with ash, and they don't exhibit these problems.

HP has a 5 year guarantee, and so far I've had to use it several times. Apart from that, however: both DDS (so-called DAT) drives and Exabytes require frequent head cleaning. If you don't clean the heads, you'll see the problems Christoph describes. If you do clean them, you might still see the problems. I've been following up a problem with Exabytes here at SNI, and came to the discovery that Exabyte does not recommend *any* cleaning cartridge except its own :-) The claim is that the others (and some of the older Exabyte cleaning cartridges, for that matter) can do more harm than good. I haven't heard anything similar about DDS drives, but it's the same technology. I sent a message out recently asking for other bad experiences with HP drives. If anybody has some, please contact me.

I don't know that one. Is it new? Extensible Shell. A lambda-calc shell based on Plan 9's rc. There was a USENIX paper on it a couple of years ago. You probably want to set erase to ^H and kill to (say) ^U here. Kinda moot under Emacs, tho. The rest of the stty stuff looks fine. I can't see anything that's appending the ^M, so I assume it's the shell. Same as sh, csh, and no combination of flags that I have found will stop it. Oh well, I can fix it in lisp. I see the ^Ms, but I'm confused. Above, you said 'es', now you're saying 'ash'. To the best of my knowledge, neither are standard with FreeBSD, though I at least know of ash. I should rather have said 'FreeBSD sh' than 'ash'. Do you have a particular reason to want to stay with this shell?

Well, yes and no. You could alter the source code to add the LSRR option when forwarding packets. You will find, however, that many systems out there in the Internet will not honor LSRR requests, with one of three possible actions: 1) Your packet is silently thrown away. 2) Your LSRR option is ignored and a message is logged to the gateway administrator. 3) Your packet makes it to the other end, which ignores LSRR options and so is unable to reply to you. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

We want to move our computers to a central time source to remove timedifferences and be able to set all clocks at one server only. I have read the manpage for xntpd, which we intend to use. As I understand it, configuration should in the clients be: server and in the server: broadcast . But there are, if I'm not mistaken, also public, national (or international?) ntp-servers from where you can obtain absolute correct time, to remove all the need for setting the clock??? Or there should at least be ... :) My questions are: 1. Am I right? 2.

One annoying thing about UMSDOS is that it uses --LINUX-.--- instead of -UMSDOS-.--- so that it is OS dependent. 8-(. The new devfs code would allow this if the hosted FS could be recognized as a root FS. There are two ways to do this: 1) Limit the scope, per a chroot, and put the intelligence in the MSDOSFS to allow the DOS FS to still be mounted. 2) Compile a chroot for a root dir mount point into the config file for a kernel (like Linux does after a kernel compile when it blows the LILO data). The second way requires some additional mount changes (which I am told are being considered for integration). There still isn't a UMSDOS FS (even though such would be *easy* to implement in a slightly cleaned up Heidemann framework in FreeBSD -- just like quota code that applies to all file systems). If you are willing to do some hacking, you could make this work with no more than say two weeks of total effort and some patches to cause maunts to be called back and inclusion of the devfs as the default /dev. If you are interested, you should get a machine up on -current and get the devfs changes for running without a /dev that have been posted to the current mailing list recently. I can give you the modified mount code, and point you at some code to allow you to implement UMSDOS-like attribute files using mount overlays.

Having read through the FAQ and the handbook (/usr/share/doc/.....) of my nice new FreeBSD 2.1.0R system (ftp'd from src.doc.ic.ac.uk a few days ago), I can find no answers to this problem. I have a few binaries on a SCO box that work, but not on FreeBSD. I have compiled my own kernel and am booting from it. It contains only those bits of GENERIC that I actually have in my PC, plus PS/2 mouse and the COMPAT_IBCS2 option (in quotes) which appears to be needed for the 'ibcs2' program to work. (Also npx _is_ still there and GPL_MATH_EMULATE, although I have a 486DX) However, when I try to run these executables, I get % ./muicairs ./muicairs: Exec format error. Wrong Architecture. which puzzles me as 'file' says:- % file ./muicairs ./muicairs: Microsoft a.out separate pure segmented fixed-stack word-swapped not-stripped 286 small model executable Large Text Large Data not stripped which is also what the SCO box says (near as dammit). What worries me more is that I can't even run a 'normal' SCO executable such as 'ls'. Havong transfered that over to my FreeBSD box I get:- % ./ls Abort trap which makes me wonder if my kernel recompile actually hooked in the iBCS2 stuff. Oh yes. I have set the 'ibcs2' option in /etc/sysconfig to YES and that appears to work at boot time (gives no errors) Basically HELP! Why can't I run SCIO binaries, and what on earth is the "Microsoft a.out ...." format? All the usual apologies about incorrect posting(mailing) area are to be assumed; please redirect me as necessary.

Unless you are going via serial line and set "onlcr" in the options for the cannonical processing of printer output for the text filter. Or set the printcap attribute for the default filter.

You are transferring it as a text file, which is converting long \n's into \r\n's because text files are stored differently on DOS and UNIX. Just before you type your "get" command, type "bin" and hit return. If you are using Netscape or some other browser to do the download, and you are running a WFWG or Win95 machine, there should be an FTP.EXE in C:\WINDOWS that gives you a command-line FTP.

Running '286 programs would also be done differently from running a '386 program, as the "best" way to deal with it is to write a wrapper program that intercepts and translates all the system calls and arguments (otherwise, in the kernel, each system call has to check for whether the program is 16- or 32-bit -- unplesant). >What worries me more is that I can't even run a 'normal' SCO executable such as >'ls'.

Cc: eck@sc10.dseg.ti.com Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, Earlier this moring i sent a request for help to this mail list but I may have addressed it wrong since I have not gotten a reply. The following is a brief description of my problem. I've installed FreeBSD v2.1 via the Walnut Creek cdrom. The target disk was the 2nd hard drive. I selected the entire disk for install. I choose not to install any boot manager since I use OS/2's bootmanager to boot DOS, OS/2, Linux and hopefully BSD. After install the machine rebooted and locked up with a 2 line message on the screen in very large letters. Next I booted OS/2 from floppy and reinstalled the bootmanager (somehow the BSD install defined the boot partition as non-startable). Rebooting I selected the partition with FreeBSD and got the Boot: prompt. Since I need to specify the port address I entered -c and the computer started with a single | character instead of the series |/-\|/-\ and the computer halted. I had to do a hard reboot. I've also tried the fixit disk after booting with the install floppy and mounted and looked at the filesystem. Everything looked ok (not sure since I'm new to BSD). I've tried to provide parameters for the boot sector when booting from the floppy but I'm not sure about hard drive notation. I think I used various combinations of wd1a/kernel at the boot prompt. Nothing seems to work. Can anyone help me out or point me in a direction which might help me.

(Although the twin folks would like this [as, I'm sure, > would terry ;)], so it may be working.) Yes. I believe everything should work, always. 8-). One alternative would be to use what I call a "PEM" -- Processor Environment Module. Specifically, for the PPC and DEC Alpha, I want to be able to run i386 binaries, like BSDI Netscape. To accomplish this, I write an ECM (Execution Class Module) which I load as an LKM which invokes an ECM specific PEM with the original arguments intact. The PEM uses argv[ 0] to identify the binary it's supposed to run. This requires that execution classes be handled by magic number, and call-dispatched from there: the fix I suggested for the LINUX_EMUL code before it was simply main-lined and the #ifdef's removed (a mistake, IMO). When an attempt is made to execute a file with a magic number handled by a PEM, the ECM invokes the PEM, much in the way that shell processors are invoked instead of the the program they are operating on. The PEM simulates a given processor environment. Specifically, it MMAP's the executable into its data address space, and runs a simulated processor for all user space code. When a kernel trap occurs, the PEM translates the calls based on the environment being provided into local system calls: system calls are executed as native code. Because the PEM must translate the address range on system calls for the 0 or 4k load address, and because the trap gates differ, it is desirable to make the PEM take "personality modules" for ABI compatability in a processor range. These define the system interface, including trap vectors used, etc., and translate the address by the mapping range so that the fixed references in the simulated environment match the correct virtual address in the PEM's address space where the code actually lives. This is less of a problem for ELF, which loads quite high, though SVR4 automatically patches page 0 references instead of failing them for binary compatability with programs that pass NULL pointers to strcpy(), etc. Linux ELF loads lower than standard ELF, actually: in standard ELF, there is a reserve area to allow the program loader to map the ld.so into the process address space instead of making the crt0.o do the dirty work: hence no difference between shared library crt0.o and non-shared library versions, and no problems using dlopen() from statically linked binaries. Being loaded high means that if the PEM is linked low, it can MMAP the ELF image at the expected address without needing to do traslation -- a.out (zmagic/qmagic/etc.) isn't that lucky. 8-(. Obviously, one of the major issues is stack growth. Another is that the personality modules (PEMPM's) are hard coded at present instead of being modules. Probably the single biggest issue is use of registers instead of stack for system calls: thank God only Linux has this screwup. Note that it would be a small step to using the PEMPM's as the basis for ABI emulation in native processor environments as well (using kernel file I/O to load them as part of the LKM init for the native processor ECM's). Clearly, this could work on an i386/i486/i586 system as well, letting an i386 system execute SPARC or 68k or ...i286 code. I happened to have a head-start on the i386 because of PCEMU. You'd need to find a 286 simulator somewhere that you could hack; the kernel changes are pretty easy (though the recent LINUX_EMUL change does complicate things somewhat). Finding one might be quite a chore... > It's also an x.out program, which currently does not load (I wrote an x.out > loader, once, but x.out programs wouldn't work; I don't know why). I wrote one back in the 0.1+patchkit days -- seemed to work fine for me as long as I didn't need the 286emul code. Xenix 2.3.1(?) binaries ran fine. Novell thinks (incorrectly) that it owns that code. 8-(. > Does your kernel config file have the 'options IBCS2_COMPAT'? It needs that > as well, I believe. Erk.

I had to do a hard reboot. When installing to a second disk, don't install the boot manager using the FreeBSD install program. Instead, download (or get of of the CDROM) the DOS installation version of the boot manager, and install it on the second drive from DOS. If the OS/2 boot manager allows booting from another drive, then it will load the boot manager on the second drive, which will then let you start FreeBSD. Unfortunately, the deivce syntax at the "boot:" prompt has recently changed, sho I don't know what to tell you there, other than the sd/hd/wd arguments with various major drive numbers...

Thanks :) Just do (as root): touch /var/db/mountdtab And the next time you boot the error will have magically vanished. mountd uses the file to record a list of which systems have nfs mounted which partitions. It's only a warning, as NFS & mountd are stateless, and don't particularly care who has mounted what in the past. The file is only really there for the admins to looks at.

But the driver has not been accused of that before ;-) The third line inidactes, that this is a failure at boot time. It appears, that a few commands had been successfully executed by the drive (i.e. the IDENTIFY) and that it fails on the first actual disk data transfer ... You seem to have access to other drives. Could you please try to build a kernel with tagged commands disabled ? The patch is to replace ncr_setmaxtags (tp, SCSI_NCR_MAX_TAGS); with ncr_setmaxtags (tp, 0); in /sys/pci/ncr.c (line 6228 in my current sources). Please do not change the value of SCSI_NCR_MAX_TAGS, since it is used to dimension some internal tables. |> I installed FreeBSD 2.1 on another disk in the same system without any |> problem. Well, yes. It works well with most current SCSI disk drives, though it is a bit picky with a few cheap CDROM drives. If you find that it works with the HP drive after tags have been disabled, then we might try to further diagnose the problem. This will require building a kernel with the config line: options "SCSI_DEBUG_FLAGS=0x600" This will print trace messages for synchronous transfer negotiation and tag use (which should be disabled by default after the patch, but you can use ncrcontrol to re-enable tags anytime the system is running ...).

For various reasons I am forced to install freebsd on an IDE drive past the 1024th cylinder. This computer doesn't support booting partitions past that point in its bios. However, I know that Freebsd is able to happily access the partition I have set aside for the install, as I have unsuccessfully (due to unrelated problems) tried to install and have had no file system errors. I also have a linux boot partition in that same >1024 section of this ide drive, and I am able to boot that partition simply by booting the linux kernel off the floppy. I would like to do the same with freebsd, ie boot my system from the floppy drive (since the kernel probably can deal with the hard drive, just the bios boot code seems to be the problem.) Is there any way to install just the kernel to a floppy disk and have it access the hard drive to load the rest of the file system? Or at least enough of the kernel so that it will not use the bios boot code? I'm not sure if it would be sufficient for me to just type hd(1,c) or something to that effect when the partition choice is given by the install disk.

That happened to me too; I think you have to watch out on the fdisk portion of sysinstall and make sure it doesn't change the active flag. > Rebooting I selected the partition with FreeBSD and got the Boot: prompt. > Since I need to specify the port address I entered -c and the computer > started with a single | character instead of the series |/-\|/-\ and the > computer halted. I had to do a hard reboot. Something here is screaming "geometry", but I'm not sure what :) Did you key in the proper geometry in fdisk? You might try making a small DOS partition on that disk, then install FreeBSD, deleting that partition and then using the whole disk. > I've tried to provide parameters for the boot sector when booting from the > floppy but I'm not sure about hard drive notation. I think I used various > combinations of wd1a/kernel at the boot prompt. The proper notation for this disk is wd(1,a)/kernel Take a look at the geometry on the disk and make sure FreeBSD agrees with you.

Sounds like: 1) A disk translator got trashed and now the BIOS can't get to the other partition. 2) Somehow that partition was deleted. Did you look at the partition setup with DOS FDISK afterwards? Is there any other operating systems on the machine? I wonder if you are over the 4 slice limit.

My problems are as follows: My college provided me with some sort of custom boot.flp to use. I am unable to use the -c parameter at boot up to configure my scd0 to port 340. If I use a boot.flp that I download elsewhere I can configure the scd0 but then the installation looks for the files in a different location then on my cd. (This is because the college fills the cd with various software, placing each one in a seperate directory.) Since that did not work I thought I could copy the files for a minimal installation to my hard drive. However, when I attempt to install from the hard drive shortly after the swap files are created I get an unable to locate root distribution error. I have installed all the files in a directory call freebsd as per instuctions I read but still have this problem. I thought that I might just download freebsd from the net but I am not sure what I should download. Any ideas or suggestions on how to get around either of these problems so I can install would be greatly appriciated.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Sorry if you-all have already answered this question a hundred times, but I haven't seen the answer(s)... ;-) Last Thursday I seemed to be getting duplicated freebsd email off the reflectors that I had already received about two days earlier. Then suddenly, I stopped receiving ALL freebsd reflector email. I thought there was probably just a glitch in the email server and things would be back to normal in a day or two. But, after *still* not getting any email, I decided to check in with "majordomo" and see if I was still subscribed to the email lists, and found I was *not* on any of them anymore! Since I had only subscribed for the first time about two weeks earlier, I'm guessing that maybe there was a BIG glitch in the email server and you lost all the recent subscriber lists ? Is that what happened? Or did somebody decide there were already too many people on these lists and take the new guys off... :-) ;-} If you reply, please send directly to me, as I have taken this "opportunity" to stop receiving the *way too high traffic* "questions" and "hackers" email lists - I spent so much time reading email that I didn't even get to my freebsd machine on most days... :-( Hopefully the "digests" versions of those lists will keep me informed ??

Hey Marc! Nope. xscreensaver was the first thing I tried. I have, however, found the secret, which is why I've copied this to -questions. The secret is to RTFM. :-) >From XF86Config(5), we have roughly three options which one may play with: options "power_saver" BlankTime time (minutes) (Default 10) SuspendTime time (Default 15) (Requires "power_saver") OffTime time (Default 30) (Requires "power_saver") BlankTime is the length of time until the screen blanks out. I don't completely understand the difference between SuspendTime and OffTime, they both do something to power down the monitor. They may not do the same thing. Since I don't fully understand these yet, I'm only furnishing this for the mail archives so hopefully when someone else comes looking for this they'll have a place to start looking. I'm going to experiment with these a bit and see if I can get a better grip on what they're doing.

The answer is you can mount them if they are either, and copy to the directory you mount them on. If they are DOS, there is also the "mtools" package, which gives you a "dir" and several other DOS-like utilities. man mount_msdos for details on the mount option.

One which sets the monitor into a mode where the guns are warm enough to not require the full start-up time before producing a picture (suspend) and one where the monitor may as well be switched off (guess which one :) ) Gary From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 2 22:14:15 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id WAA19717 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 2 Apr 1996 22:14:15 -0800 (PST) Received: from shell.aros.net (shell.aros.net [205.164.111.19]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id WAA19706 for ; Tue, 2 Apr 1996 22:14:10 -0800 (PST) Received: (from angio@localhost) by shell.aros.net (8.7.5/Unknown) id XAA07696; Tue, 2 Apr 1996 23:14:31 -0700 (MST) From: Dave Andersen Message-Id: <199604030614.XAA07696@shell.aros.net> Subject: Re: Booting large (>1024cyl)ide from floppy?

I think this is almost deserving of FAQ status. :-) To create the floppy that you boot from: Assumptions: You're using fd0 as the floppy There's really a floppy in there. :-) First, you need to give the disk a label: disklabel -w -B fd0 fd1200 (I believe you can also use fd1440) -w = write a new lael -B = means to make the disk bootable (implies -r) fd0 = the floppy drive to use fd1200 = the format to write the drive new Then you need to write a filesystem to the disk: newfs -t 2 -u 15 -i 65536 -l1 /dev/rfd0a -t 2 = The number of tracks/cylinder. Defaults to 1. -u 15 = the number of sectors/track. Defaults to only 4096. -i 65536 = Byte per inode. Makes the disk use many fewer inodes to save space, because you're putting one big file on it. -l1 = the interleave ratio Next, mount the drive so you can access it: mount /dev/fd0a /mnt (or wherever you want it) Then copy your kernel to the drive: cp kernel /mnt/kernel And then unmount the drive: umount /mnt > I'm not sure if it would be sufficient for me to just type hd(1,c) or > something to that effect when the partition choice is given by the > install disk. As far as I know, you can do so. I've never tried to boot off a setup like you've described, though.

Obviously > using "A:" or "B:" won't work. You have several choices exchanging files between DOS and unix - I assume that's what you want when you are saying A: or B:. 1. Get a DOS formatted floppy, insert it into drive 0 or 1 and type: mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt (or fd1 resp.) after doing that you can cp files back and forth to/from /mnt. Once you are done, don't forget to umount /mnt 2. You can use the mtools mdir a: mread a:*.* . The mtools are in the ports section of the FreeBSD distribution and can be found under ports/emulators/mtools. Go there and type make all install. (provided you have the appropiate files in your /usr/ports tree). 3. Get a DOS tar - there are several PD versions - and exchange files via raw floppy devices: writing to floppy: tar cvf /dev/rfd0a files reading from floppy: tar xvf /dev/rfd0a > > I think I have to use FTP for the transfers, but I don'r > know what command I have to use once I am at the ftp> prompt. ftp is only for exchanging files between computers over a network, not between devices on a computer - if I understand your question correctly. > > > > Phil Moroney > --Chris Christoph P.

Your time accuracy is limited by propagation time, and in Germany at any rate you can get low-cost time receivers which are much more accurate. In addition, you're guaranteed not to have any network charges.

How do these time receivers work, Various standards bodies round the world broadcast an accurate time signal, backed up by an atomic clock with sub-microsecond accuracy. The German one is called DCF-77, is located in Frankfurt am Main, and can be received up to 1000 km away. I don't know if that includes your location, but it's likely that some other source would be available in Sweden. Have a look at http://www.igel.de/eiclock.htm for further details, but don't look at the prices. BTW, the $ price is significantly higher than the DM price mentioned in the German version of the page (http://www.igel.de/diclock.htm) > how much do they cost, I seem to recall the prices dropping to round the DM 100 mark (about $70) recently, but I can't be sure. > where can I get them?

How do I do this? Let me count the ways... No, don't. There are too many. Assuming you have a real tape unit, it will typically be called /dev/st0. To back up a directory hierarchy, say /usr/home, you could enter: $ tar cvf /dev/rst0 /usr/home The name /dev/rst0 refers to the 'raw' version of the tape, which is what you should almost always use. > 2) I would like to copy a complete "disk/system" i.e. like you can in dos > when you use xcopy??? Where do you want to copy it? To tape? That's what the tar call above does. To *avoid* copying subdirectories, you could supply tar with a specific list of files only. You don't often do this in UNIX. > Your help will be greatly appretiated, if you don't have a answer could > you recommend any site's I could go to on the internet. Your best bet would probably be a book on basic UNIX system administration. Look at the bibliography in the online handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook249.html) or in "Installing and Running FreeBSD" (this book also includes a couple of lines on the subject, but you probably want more). My personal favourite is Evi Nemeth and Co's "UNIX System Administration Handbook". 2nd ed. Prentice Hall, 1995.

The module and an active antenna is costing us around AUS$600, which is pretty good for +/- 10msec. (We want GPS for site coordinates to calculate true dawn/dusk and because that's what everybody else uses...) A good GPS supplier should be able to sell you a mothercard for this module that adds power supply and RS-232 functions.

I noticed that it was mounting all seven logical units during some of the intermediate states of my upgrades; but don't seem to be recognized now. I have rebuilt my kernel with 'options "MAX_LUN=8"'; and I have the appropriate /dev entries.

I've included the first part of the boot log below, with the timestamp and kernel ids trimmed off for readability. Is there anything else that I need to do to get this to work?

The install CD generates a file in the /var/db directory, with name: mountdbtab (It's a typo of the installation process!) -----------------------------^ Of course, mountd screaming, I'm looking into the directory, and find, that the file is there. I think, looking at this name, it's a bit hard to find the difference between the filename I have, and mountd needs.

Talk to Jeffrey Hsu (hsu@freebsd.org). I've been snowed at work and all my (now much less) free time has been committed to the PPC. I can't reasonably delay the PPC work; it's also loaner hardware, and it's much closer. I felt so guilty about the amount of time, I offered to buy the hardware outright; no response on that yet, though.

Because special files should be intrinsic to the system and created or destroyed only by successful hardware probes or subsystem registration. As such, you don't need to back them up because they are never, ever, going to get damaged or go away... so you will never, ever, need to restore them from backup.

Finally it happened: I came across a machine where FreeBSD wouldn't inst= all :-( (That's FreeBSD 2.1-RELEASE, BTW) Some background, We've got some machines with with the Intel Endeavor (Advanced/EV) motherboard, Pentium 90 or 100, 16 or 32 MB of memory and various ~1GB I= DE disks. When booting, all report: =09BIOS basemem (639K) !=3D RTC basemem (640K) This flashes by very quickly, and I wouldn't even have noticed, if the machine I was installing on had not failed to install. It gets as far as ftp-ing the bin distribution (from a local machine with a CD drive), then dies on a SIG 11. This happend on the machine with 16 MB memory, but not on the one with 3= 2 MB. I have second-hand information on a Dell 486 giving the same warnin= g, but not even being able to boot the install floppy. Removing the disk and installing it using another (trusty 'ol 486) then putting it back works ok. The system boots (same error message), and runs ok. Looking at /sys/i386/i386/machdep.c, I can locate the source of the erro= r message: biosboot (or is that bootbios?) locates 639/xxx K memory, but t= he kernes uses something it finds in RTC CMOS RAM, and reports the discrepa= ncy. But not knowing (not wanting to know :-) enough about PC BIOSes and such= , I don't really know what it implies, or where the failing 1K has gone. Questions: What does the error message mean? Is it related to the install failure= ? Is it harmful after installation? I.e. once the machine runs, will=20 it continue to run? (It has so far...) I will probably want to put FreeBSD on more of these machines, how do I install on them without resorting to moving the disk to another machine?

PnP support is close, but assumes you have a PnP motherboard. Without that, it's impossible to determine that a PnP card is colliding with a non-PnP card for which there is not a driver.

Then you will want to stay with the releases rather than the -stable or -current branches, which are under active developement. Because of this, driver support will lag ~6 months from the -current branch. This may be a problem for your CDROM.

This is a result of using a -current port, I believe. The 3.0 libc is a result of the ISO protocol functions being ripped out. Since pdksh doesn't use these, you should be able to: # cd /usr/lib # ln -s libc.so.2.1 libc.so.3.0 And have no problems. You may need to run ldconfig, depending on how the binary was compiled and how your system is set up.

I can't seem to get the kernel to recognize my 3COM card (3c509) at the boot. When I try to ping anything other than 127.0.0.1, I get "network unreachable" response. Just for grins, I built the networking boot disk and played like I was going to install across a network. The 3COM card was recognized during the boot without extra parameters being added at the boot prompt. In fact, using this method, I could ping any of the network hosts using their dot quad addresses. I tried to use the append command in the /etc/lilo.conf file, re-ran lilo, but still wasn't recognized at boot. Can I add more info to the append command in the lilo.conf file like: append="aha152x=11,0x340,0,1 ether=10,0x280,0,1,eth0" I have done so, and the machine still boots OK, but the card isn't recognized. When I add a separate append statement to handle the 3c09 , the system complains of too many append statements. It appears that either 3COM spt was not built into the kernel, or my commands are wrong. I know the card is functional. HELP!!!!!!

You missed the meeting! 8-). You are trying to enum a C++ reserved word. This is a fairly recent addition to the list of reserved words. This would work in C, if there weren't an already existing typedef for "boolean" (or a #define as an atomic type). /usr/include/math.h uses this construct for fdversion without problems...

It's frustrating copy from one side to another only by floppy or by streamer :-) Some more info : ----------------------------------------------------------------------- etc/fstab /dev/sd1s1b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sd1a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/wd2s1 /mnt/work msdos ro,noauto 0 0 /dev/sd0s1 /mnt/win95 msdos ro,noauto 0 0 /dev/sd1s1f /usr ufs rw 1 1 /dev/sd1s1e /var ufs rw 1 1 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 /dev/cd0a /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ disklabel dev/sd0 # /dev/sd0: type: unknown disk: label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 255 sectors/cylinder: 16065 cylinders: 264 sectors/unit: 4253391 rpm: 0 interleave: 0 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 3 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 4253391 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - $ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- disklabel /dev/wd2 # /dev/wd2: type: unknown disk: label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 1 sectors/cylinder: 63 cylinders: 50320 sectors/unit: 3170160 rpm: 0 interleave: 0 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 3 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 3170160 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 50319) Warning, revolutions/minute 0 boot block size 0 super block size 0 --------------------------------------- disklabel /dev/sd1 (the FreeBSD drive) type: unknown disk: label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 1 tracks/cylinder: 1 sectors/cylinder: 1 cylinders: 2131992 sectors/unit: 2131992 rpm: 0 interleave: 0 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 3 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 2131992 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 2131991) Warning, revolutions/minute 0 boot block size 0 super block size 0 --------------------------------------- Apr 3 00:22:58 eclipse /kernel: FreeBSD 2.1-STABLE #0: Tue Apr 2 19:05:16 MET DST 1996 Apr 3 00:22:58 eclipse /kernel: root@eclipse.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/GMARCO Apr 3 00:22:59 eclipse /kernel: CPU: 166-MHz Pentium 735\90 or 815\100 (Pentium-class CPU) Apr 3 00:22:59 eclipse /kernel: Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x52c Stepping=12 Apr 3 00:22:59 eclipse /kernel: Features=0x1bf Apr 3 00:22:59 eclipse /kernel: real memory = 33554432 (32768K bytes) Apr 3 00:22:59 eclipse /kernel: avail memory = 30846976 (30124K bytes) Apr 3 00:22:59 eclipse /kernel: pcibus_setup(1): mode1res=0x80000000 (0x80000000), mode2res=0xff (0x0e) Apr 3 00:23:00 eclipse /kernel: pcibus_setup(2): mode1res=0x80000000 (0x80000000) Apr 3 00:23:00 eclipse /kernel: pcibus_check: device 0 is there (id=122d8086) Apr 3 00:23:00 eclipse /kernel: Probing for devices on PCI bus 0: Apr 3 00:23:00 eclipse /kernel: configuration mode 1 allows 32 devices.

It's a warning (which doesn't say it's a warning. Sigh). What it does say though is that WRITING to the DOS parition could have VERY dangerous effects (including trashing data on most of the drive).

Is it related to the install failure? It is unrelated. The message means one of three things: 1) The CMOS memory is stored using option base 0 instead of option base 1. This usually results in "639K" reported. This is typical of AT&T 6386/WGS. The original 386BSD 0.1 blew the memory calcualtion following that and lost its mind. This error has its genesis in the first patch I ever put in the patch kit, though the code isn't derivative any more. The warning is there to indicate that an assumption (which may not be correct) is being made. 2) Something is eating some amount of memory. Generally, this is 4K, and results in "636K" reported. The HP Vectra, specifically, *also* lost its mind on 386BSD 0.1. It stole the 4k, and created an "adjustment hole" to store the drive type 44 and drive type 45 C/H/S values for configurable drives, copied from CMOS. Some boot sector viruses also protect themselve the same way, but obvious could affect the second stage boot, but not FreeBSD itself. 3) There is a memory problem, like the 128k from 512k to 640k being "not there" (generally required a "back fill" via a memory extender board on very old Intel 386 hardware). This will be obvious, since a power of 2 of some kind, smaller than 640k, will be reported. In any case, BSD loads above 1M, so this should not cause a boot failure. > Is it harmful after installation? I.e. once the machine runs, will > it continue to run? (It has so far...) It is never harmful; it is only a diagnostic, and can generally be ignored. > I will probably want to put FreeBSD on more of these machines, > how do I install on them without resorting to moving the disk > to another machine? Probably the install problem is related to the compressed kernel image. I believe newer snaps (ie: after the 2.1R release) deal with the problem. Generally, it's indicative of a motherboard cache coherency problem (apparently, we've invented the only working diagnostic in the industry 8-)). Turning of the cache during the install should fix the problem, after which you can turn it back on; if there is really a cache problem (it may in fact be related to instruction cache writeback, which was not supported prior to the P5), then you will see additional problems, and you will need to get an ECO board upgrade, or disable writeback, or the type of caching that causes the problem for your particular chipset. Most likely, you won't see any problems. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

Check computer shoppper, and they are generally cheap. If you have SCSI, I would recommend a SCSI tape drive instead.

The first thing that came to my mind is, "What a great site for Site Launch!" My company has brought a new and innovative way for Internet site owners and Webmasters to get real honest feedback on their site. It is called Site Launch. ( http://www.go2pa.com/sitelaunch ) Having an Internet site is only have the job. Like planting grass seed in the Arctic, you may have done the job but nothing will come of it if you are not delivering, to your clients, the information that they need. We have Internet users from all over come in and evaluate sites. We are currently taking reservations for our next launch. But, before I get into that let me explain the application. We feature up to 9 different sites for a two week period. We have, as I said earlier, users come in and evaluate the sites that we feature. You may be wondering, how do we entice users to give site evaluations? Well, we have found the best way is to offer cash!! We give away $100 per site to a randomly selected user. We are currently offering this service for only $150!!! $100 goes as prize money and the remainder covers our costs to compile the complete report for you. As I said we are currently taking reservations for our upcoming missions. We even still have a slot open for our nest mission that starts on April 8, 1996. I can reserve a seat for you on that mission. All I need is a fax number so that I can fax you the agreement for Site Launch. It, the agreement, basically says we are not responsible for the contents of your site and that you agree to supply the $150. We in turn agree to feature you for a period of 2 weeks and compile the complete report for you. Lastly, I have attached a file that is from a company that has reviewed our Site Launch page and has chosen us as their "Site of the Week." Please read their review and visit our page. I look forward to you becoming a Site Launch "astronaut" and benefiting from the feed back that you will receive by featuring your Internet site on "Site Launch." Sincerely, Shawn P Ewer Capt.

Site Launch

Site-Launch is a Web site with an interesting and innovative approach to bringing Web surfers and commercial Web sites together. Well okay... if not together exactly, at least closer. Most browser buffs probably feel the same about commercial sites as they do about advertising on television. Site-Launch makes visitors to their page an offer they can't refuse...namely money. The concept is simple and effective. Site-Launch features up to 9 commercial Web sites in any given period and offers surfers a chance at winning cash prizes in exchange for completing a 3 minute review of one or more of the commercial sites featured.

The graphical theme of Site-Launch is Star Wars/space-age and the textual approach maintains the overall theme. Here's a few pics and an excerpt (from one of the Site-Launch pages) to give you an idea of the site's flavor:

"Welcome, we currently have 7 active orbital stations, which means this mission (SL200-R11) is worth $600 dollars and a Weekend for 2 ($250.00 Value) in the Poconos. The misison began with lift-off on Monday March 25, 1996 and will continue until touchdown at 11:30 P.M. EST on Sunday April 7th, 1996.

To begin, just dock on one of the orbital stations below. Each station this period is worth $100.00. To register for a chance at the cash, just explore the orbital station and complete the quick 3 minute re-entry de-briefing. For each station you dock at, explore and complete the de-briefing, you have a chance to win a $100 dollar cash prize."

Site1Site2Site3

So we know that Site-Launch visitors can win cash in exchange for 3 minutes of their valuable time...but what's in it for Site-Launch and the sites they host? Shucks, this is what I like about the whole concept. Everyone benefits! Commercial sites pay Site-Launch a fee for featuring their sites and, in return, they receive valuable feedback in the form of a full report which includes visitor comments and suggestions.

Marketing services and products on the Web is similiar but not exactly the same as traditional media marketing. For example, a Web site may look graphically terrific but does anyone actually stick around long enough to see all those great pics load. And what about target markets? If your site appeals to seniors and your target is teenagers, then you have a problem. So whose the best judge of what makes a Web site effective, interesting, appealing, etc. ? You guessed it....you are!

Site-Launch Pros:

  • Great concept. Everyone benefits.
  • Nice intro page and the theme is appealing.
  • Visitors get to be critics for 3 minutes.
  • The review forms are straightforward and can easily be completed in 3 mins. You're done before you get bored.
  • A source for finding cool & interesting sites. Yes, some commercial sites ARE cool & interesting and, with the feedback provided by Site-Launch, many more will be.
  • And last, but certainly not least, you can win CASH!

Site-Launch Cons:
Can't really think of any. I mean, it would be petty to demand bigger cash prizes. Right?

Conclusion: The concept implemented by Site-Launch is an important first step in making Web sites truly effective vehicles for information delivery. I hope the idea becomes popular and that companies see the need for this kind of feedback. Now go visit Site-Launch...a great site with a great concept.

I have tried using something like "adduser -batch webmaster users 'Web Master' password" and got a cannot chown message during execution. But the adduser program added a entry in /etc/passwd, /etc/group and /etc/master.passwd correctly. The default home directory /home/webmaster also created correctly but with owner root. When tried to chown owner of /home/webmaster to webmaster I got the same cannot chown message or some other invalid user name message. Thanks.

Absence of rotational position table The rotational position table is only useful if you wish to interleave the block allocations. On any modern drive, this would be a big lose.

This is a matter of modern drives having a variable number of sectors per track - making any "real" choice impossible. The values that sysinstall has chosen are used because they escentially disable most of the special allocation strategy that ancient drives use to need. Further, the specific values were chosen to optimize the cylinder group allocation. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 3 20:13:46 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id UAA21099 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 3 Apr 1996 20:13:46 -0800 (PST) Received: from paloalto.access.hp.com (daemon@paloalto.access.hp.com [15.254.56.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id UAA21093 for ; Wed, 3 Apr 1996 20:13:43 -0800 (PST) Received: from fakir.india.hp.com by paloalto.access.hp.com with ESMTP (1.37.109.16/15.5+ECS 3.3) id AA185771209; Wed, 3 Apr 1996 20:13:34 -0800 Received: from localhost by fakir.india.hp.com with SMTP (1.37.109.16/15.5+ECS 3.3) id AA005441467; Thu, 4 Apr 1996 09:47:48 +0530 Message-Id: <199604040417.AA005441467@fakir.india.hp.com> To: install@freebsd.org Subject: if_ed(2) Date: Thu, 04 Apr 1996 09:47:47 +0530 From: A JOSEPH KOSHY Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Why does the GENERIC kernel contain ed0 and ed1 built in?

Symlinks are evaluated by the client kernel (namei in vfs_lookup.c). You will need to maont the file systems containing the link targets on the clinets as well. Since you can't export a file system across a mount point, your "mount_null'ing" idea won't work anyway. If I have the link /home/foo -> /users1/home/foo, then I export the "/home", when a client lookups up "/home/foo", it will get pointed to "/users1/home/foo". Unless you have "/users1" mounted on the client as well, it won't find the link target locally.

If you don't have free space to do this, don't pass go, do not collect $200. Assuming you allocate disk space, you probably *don't* want to install the boot manager so your dad doesn't get annoyed each time he turns the machine on, since he probably wants it to jump straight into DOS. You can either build a boot floppy (a long process that was described today on the -questions list -- see the archives at www.freebsd.org), OR you can run the DOS program "fbsdboot.exe", which will, from a DOS prompt, reboot the machine from the second stage boot loader in the BSD parition. You will have to copy it to the DOS disk somewhere, and run it when you want to switch to FreeBSD.

It's really up to you to make sure you use 4k increments (the default cylinder group assumptions). Really, the major fix is a rewrite of all the disk management code, after some underlying technology gets worted out. > Some note worthy points are: > 1. Absence of rotational position table This is less useful than it used to be when seeks were relatively fast and rotation was slow. For ZBR drives (ie: most modern drives) or geometry translated drives (ie: most IDE drives), this is simply useless (see below). > 2. ntrak value of 1, which should be equal to the no. of heads, or > tracks per cylinder. > 3. nsect == npsect == spc which does not tally with the disklabel values. These values are used to *disable* seek optimization. This is because with physical geometries that are non-linear, or are not detectable because the controller or drive hardware itself lies, seek optimization is actually pessimization. This is because if you optimize to assume a particualr n/n+1 sector crossing is going to take a relatively long time, you will be wrong almost all of the time on any modern disk. It is possible to go to a 32k sized table for a ZBR recorded drive up to 8G and actualy reeenable seek optimization to positive effect, but only for SCSI II drives which implement physcical geometry queries. This hasn't been implemented yet, but, of course, if it were, the disktab wouldn't apply -- the disktab would have to be taken "out of the loop" for those drives. Interleave optimizations are also a no-no on moder disks, which have track buffers and begin reading immediately after the seek and stop when the get to the sector you asked for -- sector order is reversed, and counts dowm so that sequential reads (or extents) end up wholly in the track buffer on these drives. That way, subsequent reads following the previous one will always get a cache hit. Optimizing seeks this way without knowledge of actual sector offsets where seeks are required actually causes the track buffer to be flushed *more frequently* than it would *without* optimization. > I'm wondering if anyone has noticed such things, and how you've handled it.

Is this a `feature' of sysinstall or > is there something wrong with my system or disk or whatever? This is a feature on anything but old drives, where the seek optimizations are actually effective. The Osterhout and Sun papers show that the clustering optimization *dwarfs* all of the other optimizations combined, by an order of magnitude. We still do clustering, we just disable the things which actually *hurt* performance for typical users.

Of course, I've *never* had the default configuration match my ethernet cards, but perhaps I've just had odd luck that way. Now that there's a visual configuration editor, it should be much easier for a first-time user to setup, so the need seems to be less. *shrugs* The other issue would be that it's an attempt to make the GENERIC kernel as widely applicable as you can; if you want the machine to act as an ethernet gateway, you'd need the two interfaces, and that may be a "common" enough application. -Dave Andersen Lo and behold, A JOSEPH KOSHY once said: > > Why does the GENERIC kernel contain ed0 and ed1 built in? > > Not many people use two network cards (those who do can always build > another kernel).

Yesterday night, after I read your message, I tried to do some test, and so I mounted both partition (as you have seen in ro mode) and tryed to read some files with less... After few minutes system hangs (I was under X, mouse was frozen, ctrl alt bs didn't work). Suddenly it resets by itself... The next boot it arrives till the point where it mounts root fs, but here stops saying that fsck fails and I have to run it manually, but when I press return to confirm the shell sh for the single user mode it goes in panic and begins to reboot itself... Fortunately I did a backup five seconds before to try mounting the partition, and now everything is ok , but I am not sure what I report is only a warning ....

Hi, there are basically two ways to do a backup in most U*X-Systems: 1) either a full filesystem backup (dump/restore) 2) or a backup of selected files (cpio/tar) The second approach is usually not a good method (esp. for desaster backups), as both tar and cpio have problems with certain kind of files (special files, sparse files and long names). dump is much better for that kind of backup you describe. That said, a few examples: tar - backup: tar cvf many This will backup all the files and dirctories (recursivly) tar - restore: tar xvf optional This will restore either the whole tape or the selected files. dump: dump 0uBf This will backup the whole filesystem (and only this filesystem). Repeat it for each filesystem you have. Hope this helps. Share & Enjoy ! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Lutz Albers | What's good ?

It's not too complicated... Just make sure that everything in the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file has a space before it, except the labels. If your options don't have whitespace on the left, they will be ignored. :( The essentials are explained in the Handbook, and in even more detail at http://www.ssimicro.com/~jeremyc/ppp.html In the ppp.conf file, you will NEED enable proxy among other things. In your kernel config, you will need to have OPTIONS GATEWAY # I think that's the option... To forward IP packets. You DO NOT need the ARP_PROXYALL kernel option. You will also need at least one "tun" device per modem... Don't forget to MAKEDEV them. Before you rush off to compile that kernel, you should replace your /usr/src/sys/netinet/in_rmx.c file that comes with 2.1-RELEASE (I assume you're using 2.1-Release) with the newer one from -stable, which is at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-stable/usr/sys/netinet/in_rmx.c Just replace your existing in_rmx.c file with the new one, and you'll avoid the headaches of the proxy-arp bug. I hope that helps.

Can someone suggest a FAQ which addresses this issue? Some of the *current* philosophical differences between NetBSD and FreeBSD (these may not be the same as the reasons why the two projects started up seperatly) can be guessed from http://grisu.bik-gmbh.de/~cracauer/netbsd-vs-freebsd.english.html In short, the difference is not so much what the systems try to be, but how they work to reach these goals and what they consider to be important and has to be done first. The usefulness of a system at a given time depends on the user's needs, of course. While having NetBSD and FreeBSD looks kind of useful in a number of ways (for me), the OpenBSD split is more of a "sad thing", a matter of personal differences. See their web page for their point of view. For more specifc information, you are probably better off to ask persons individually :-) [ @think.com?

I've got a 486-120, with Award BIOS. Once, I found that the date is wrong, so I went into the BIOS Setup and corrected it. From that time, I have the next problems: on every boot, the BIOS says, sometyhing is wrong, "Press to continue or to go Setup" -- a) Setup: The time and date are set to the last date setting, and the clock doesn't go. Set it, reboot, the same problem, but the time/date is a bit more preciuos (;-) -- b) Continue: FB (2.1R from Walnut Creek) screaming, that there is a problem in the CMOS's time settings, go and correct it. I can ``date yymmdd..'' and I can see the date changes (under Unix), but not in the BIOS. Next time, the same problem. What's that, and what can I do to correct it?

It's pretty goot all in all. I think another indicator of a kernels true lineage is whether the group ownership of a file is inhereted from the containing directory without the sgid bit being set. This use of the sgid bit is for BSD compatiblity. BTY, I believe HP-UX 9.x is SRV3 derived whereas HP-UX 10.x is SRV4. HP-UX does have a bunch of BSDisms though.

But at this point thats it. There are two problems associated with this. 1. You have to have the new ibcs2 package which I belive is only in current. 2. There are problems with the character set that FreeBSD uses. It does not have the lines and such needed to draw things like the menus.

So, faithfully I decided to install the essentials by floppy for the time being; but during the install for some reason, I was not prompted for the COMPAT1X and COMPAT20 dists (even though they were marked for the install). Luckily the install went through anyways. So afterwards I mounted the COMPAT1X on fd0 and took a look at "install.sh". I took the line with the tar command and used it to extract the files manually. MY QUESTION IS, the tar program took about 2-3 seconds to unpack the files; if I copied the line from "install.sh" exactly, do you think I successfully installed the files? (I'm running on a pentium 100 with 16 megs edo dram and a 512KB pipeline burst cache, so I'm not sure if it could have unpacked the files THAT fast or not.) What could I do to check this? And if I reenter the /stand/sysinstall program, how can I continue the install of other files without "fdisking" my existing setup? Also, should my cdrom drive stay unsupported, what would be the best way to get EVERYTHING installed?

I have one system that I would like to use. It is a P90 PCI, 8mb, 720mb ide drive. I know that I will have to do a lot to this system. More RAM, SCSI harddrive, SCSI adapter, ethernet adapter, etc.. It would be very helpful if I could get some advice from those of you who have some experience setting up quality servers. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Things to suggest: 1. Best CPU 2. How much RAM (minimum, optimum, overkill). 3. Best adapters to use. 4. Hard drives (type, brand, size, etc..). 5. Software (web server, news server, tools, etc..). 6. Where to get the best prices. etc... When I ask for the "best" I don't mean most expensive. What I mean is what works well without going overboard. What would be helpful too, is if anyone knows where to get good deals on any of the suggested hardware. We could all benefit (if we share price info). I hate to buy something and find out that I should have bought.... Or "you paid how much!... you should have gotten it..." Thank you in advance. Joel.

Well, I'm running a news server on a P90. There is a very low number of nnrpd clients, it's mostly a transport machine. It accepts a full feed from multiple feeds, and feeds those same folks with full feeds. There's probably a dozen nntplink's and three or four innxmit's running at any given time.

News RAM formula: Memory: 16MB + sizeof(history.pag) * 2 + numclients * 1MB + numfeeds * 1MB For news.sol.net, this translates into 16MB + 16.7MB * 2 + 5 * 1MB + 27 * 1MB = 81MB, which explains why I feel a little tight with only 64MB. Remember, you will need MORE RAM if you want to run a Web server too. > 3. Best adapters to use. If cost is an issue, the NCR-810 controllers are fantastic at around $60-$70/ea (ASUS SP200). They have very good performance. If slots becomes an issue, I start recommending the Adaptec 3940, much pricier, but you get two busses on the same card instead of just one. You _want_ multiple SCSI busses. The generic DE21040 based network cards are fine, so are many SMC cards. I still run ISA network cards in lots of my machines. > 4. Hard drives (type, brand, size, etc..). I'm admittedly a Seagate shop, and quite happy. For news, nothing more than a 9ms drive is acceptable, which places you in the Hawk/Barracuda range. Remember the golden news rule, MORE DRIVES TRANSLATES INTO MORE THROUGHPUT. You would rather have four 2GB Hawk drives than two 4GB Barracuda's. The only place you _might_ compromise for a larger (4GB) drive is alt.binaries. You should be able to get the Barra 2GB drives for around $700, the Hawk's for $600. The Barra 4GB drives are around $1100, the Hawk's around $900. Prices rounded up to the nearest even hundred dollars. Prices are at or around wholesale. :-) Read the INN FAQ's for more details about how to split up your disk space. > 5. Software (web server, news server, tools, etc..). Web server? Here, I favor Apache, because of the built in virtual Web support. For news, there is nothing besides INN. Netscape News is INN, repackaged. C-news is not seriously used anywhere anymore, for large scale operations, except at a few holdout "legacy" sites. > 6. Where to get the best prices.

On an "out of the box" compile, mwm does indeed leak. If the problem is in the library, then others will as well, but I have not run any other apps long enough to really tell. It leaks both with gnumalloc and phkmalloc, although it leeks a little faster with the latter. I have not tried it with the old libc malloc. Regrettably, I don't have time to work on tracking down the problem. That said, I don't think it in any way renders Motif unusable, but if I were a commercial organization selling it, I'd sure want to fix it first. The magnitude of the leak? At startup, the vss of mwm is around 900K. After a good heavy day of use with phkmalloc it grows to around 4000K. With gnumalloc it gets to about 2500K under roughly the same use. I just restart mwm every couple days and its fine. -john == jfieber@indiana.edu =========================================== == http://fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber ============ From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 4 11:29:59 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id LAA22509 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 4 Apr 1996 11:29:59 -0800 (PST) Received: from phaeton.artisoft.com (phaeton.Artisoft.COM [198.17.250.211]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id LAA22501 for ; Thu, 4 Apr 1996 11:29:57 -0800 (PST) Received: (from terry@localhost) by phaeton.artisoft.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id MAA22248; Thu, 4 Apr 1996 12:24:47 -0700 From: Terry Lambert Message-Id: <199604041924.MAA22248@phaeton.artisoft.com> Subject: Re: what is bsdish?

For the record, I have the real version and it doesn't work so I don't see much point in dowloading the demo. Formerly there were problems with the license manager.

Don't change the CMOS clock using the BSD kernel; it won't set the BIOS-specific CMOS checksum information, and you will get your boot warning. Look at the clock related man pages. I believe you can touch a file in /etc to fix this, but I can't remember which one.

You absolutely do not want to use IDE for anything intensive, especially not in a server of any sort. And also don't mix the two! If you plan on having any kind of active site, 8mb is nothing, 32MB a minimum, 64 if you can swing it.

You size your memory needs to your expected volume. 128KB or higher could well be justified depending on your activity. Take a look at what ftp.cdrom.com is using now adays and you'll see. That's not overkill, just a well sized system for the load. :-) > 3. Best adapters to use. > Adpatec PCIs . Our news server has a 3940 (2 chains) and a 2940. 3 controllers with over 14 gigs spread among them. It works rather well. We use SMC Ethernet PCIs.

Whether you need fast or fast-wide and how big you want is something you should think about. One big drive isn't always best as well. It helps to spread things on different chains. > 5.

I'd caution you though if you're planning on using this system for some kind of production ISP machine. It pays 10-fold to spend a little extra and buy from a local hardware dealer then to mess with mailorder. Believe me, as you grow, this guy will get to know you and value your patronage. The place I get my stuff from I typically spend $5-$10k a month at (mostly modems and machines) and I get very excellent service as a result. I can go in, pick up spare controllers and parts for testing and tryout without any problems at all. I get 1 hour response times (or faster)on failed stuff simply by driving over to the place picking up a replacement and swapping it in.

For example, monster.t1.com resolves to 206.109.155.18, but 206.109.155.18 resolves to a CNAME 206.109.155.0.18, which then resolves to monster.t1.com. The resolver seems to not like this, returns an error, and wu-ftpd denies access. Questions: Is this a bug in the FreeBSD resolver? Do most O/S's resolvers function like this? Am I implimenting the draft method incorrectly to get responses like this? Does this bode ill for common use of this draft practice?

Maybe that is it? Any help would be appreciated. Although I'm not immediately familiar with what the exact disk size requirements are, but my guess is you're running out of space on /usr.

Most likely, if the line looked something like this: tar xzf - | cat compat1x.* Try replacing the 'x' in the command with a 't' and see what directory the files landed in. They should be in /compat1x and /compat20, respectively.

If you really want to run sysinstall again (not the best of ideas, but that isup for debate), then don't go through the install - jump directly to the post install screen, which I believe is an option on the main menu. you can do it all manually though.

Yes, the ource must be present on disk to use. but you can cheat and lndir the usr/src/sys tree from the live filesystem CDROM if you're stuck. For proper reconfig instructions, consult the FreeBSD Handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook.html, or look in /usr/share for an older but sufficient version. Or order "Installing and Running FreeBSD" from walnut Creek, which you can get for free if you bought the 2.1 CD.

I am thinking of using Pentium 133 or 166, 128MB RAM (60 ns. access time, perhaps EDO...) 256/512K cache, Adaptec 2940 PCI SCSI-2 Fast controller, three 2 Gig 7200 RPM HD's on the SCSI bus (internal) in a big case with LOTS of FANS (gotta keep them drives happy), and 2 PCI 100/100Mbit ethernet cards. Okay, now for questions: * What's a good motherboard to go with? What motherboards (and/or chipsets, BIOS chipsets, etc.) should I avoid like the plague? * Which 100Mbit ethernet PCI cards work well with FreeBSD? I've hard the 3Com and SMC boards mentioned. I'll need the 2 cards to work happily side by side in the same machine. * Which HD's are folks happy with? I've used Seagate's Barracuda's with success, and I've got 1 Connor 7200RPM that is still happily purring along. I'd love to hear success stories, horror stories. Let me know specific hardware to avoid if possible. Now, I've seen a lot of this stuff on the list before. I am reviewing that as well. When I'm done, I'll put up a web page summarizing what I've found and what others have replied to me about and post the URL. Someone mentioned doing a web page on hard drives like this.

I administer a network consisting of HP's and two PC's. I'd have to say HP-UX is more like 75% of an OS.

You should buy a cheap SCSI controller (the NCR/Symbios 815, 810 if your BIOS supports it) and buy a SCSI tape drive. Floppy tapes just plain aren't (and probably won't be) supported.

The same ones that Linux supports, since they primarily run the same X server (XFree86). That changes if you use a commerical product like Accelerated X. What kind of video do you have?

You don't run news on a machine that is doing anything else other than maybe DNS. News machines need at least 32 megs RAM if you carry a full feed and at least 5 separate SCSI drives... 128 meg swap drive 400 meg root drive 400 meg history drive 1 or 2 gig overviews drive 4 or 6 gig news spool Even better is to put in several 1 gig drives on a Mylex DAC960SI and stripe them as a RAID array in place of the news spool. But keep the other drives. And turn off that sync-whatchamacallit option on the news spool and overviews for speed. > It would be very helpful if I could get some advice from those of > you who have some experience setting up quality servers. Surprisingly to some, an 8 meg machine is OK for a few shell users, email, DNS and some lightly used WWW pages. But do not under any circumstances put more than one IDE drive in such a machine. Even here a separate small SCSI drive for SWAP can make a difference. > 1. Best CPU full news feeds demand a Pentium, other stuff works fine on a 486.

Hard drives (type, brand, size, etc..).

I hope you're not the type of ISP who drops prices when you hear that somebody else in town is offering cheaper service than you.... That kind of ISP doesn't last long becaise they are so scared of failure that they attract it to themselves. If you care about your customers and bend over backwards to help them and give them good service (no busies) then they will pay your rates without a complaint.

It's a little confusing, but you have to check the "src" distribution, which makes it look like you're putting the whole thing on, but you will get a sub-menu that will ask for the source distributions to install. Then you can select the kernel dist (sys) only. If you want X, then go through that menu, checking what you want (probably the basics plus the contributed binaries). If you have the space, adding the programmer dist (X11prog or something) will allow you to build X programs. It's not as big as you think.

Now, Pine often caused Page Fault while there are a lot of free memory. Error message: Page fault while in kernel mode Supervisor write, while page not present? Unfortunately, I don't remember the whole lines, since I was always away from the server while it crashed repeatedly. My hardware configuration now: Pentium-100 with Taiwanese motherboard with Triton chipsets, 64MB RAM (two 32MB 72pin 60ns no parity Hitachi chips), Adaptec 2940 PCI, 4.3GB hard drive, Toshiba 2x SCSI-CDROM, Accton Combo ISA Ethernet card (IRQ 5, Base I/O 0x280, RAM basemem can't be determined).

Page fault started happening once I installed the new memory, new network card, and recompiled the kernel to incorporate the new ethernet card. The memory tested good running on a Win95 machine, using Intel Zappa, for a few days. At this point, these are what I think might be causing the problem: 1. Memory has timing problem running on the motherboard used on the server. 2. The Accton ethernet card is another suspect since the software setup would not let me specify a specific address for the base RAM. If it is hardware related though, I wonder why only Pine causes page fault? Thanks for any help to solve this problem.

My sound was working fine until I reinstalled FreeBSD after a hard drive crash (due to an incident involving MS-DOS that I would rather not discuss :-/). Now everything I play (.wav files and .au files) is one (or perhaps two) octaves too high and twice (or four times) as fast. I'm using the NAS software, which doesn't seem to be at fault because "auedit" reports the correct duration of the sounds. I can't get "rplay" to work, so I can't test NAS for certain. Also, the sound is fine under DOS (booting from a floppy), so it's not the sound card. It seems that my configuration of the kernel must be at fault. However, I've recompiled the kernel many times, removing support for OPL, removing SoundBlaster emulation, etc., to no avail. Perhaps it is some other kernel parameter I screwed up that changes the ISA bus speed or something. Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon? Andy P.S. My machine is a Dell Dimension 486DX33 with 16MB RAM, a 325MB Western Digital IDE hard drive, a Syquest EZ135, and a Logitech SoundMan 16 (basically a PAS 16). The only other things on the ISA bus are an unused ethernet card (3Com Etherlink 3 for sale!) and an unused modem; the video is VLB.

Apologies to anyone who saw this before and responded. I setup a X-user installation on a 1029MB Quantum Empire 1080-S with an Adaptec AHA2940 SCSI pci controller and everything (ie disk usage was fine). I then added the ghostscript/a2ps stuff to try and get the printer working and that was when I ran into problems. When I setup the system I allocated 823MB for FreeBSD as: swap 100MB / 40MB /usr 583MB /home 100MB During the pkg_manage-add I receive the message about no free space, and when I did a df I got mount 512 blks used avail capacity sd0a / 79900 30900 42608 42% sd0s2e /home 200796 84 184648 0% sd0s2f /usr 1176452 1089076 -6744 101% procfs 8 8 0 100% I also checked the inodes and there are available inodes in each file system. ( 44% free for /usr, 78% for / ). Now, unless this is some new math that I don't understand, I should have 87376 free blocks or about 44K available. This would also make more sense to me if this occurred when I did the intital system setup, but at that point everything look correct, and the system ran without any problems. Does anyone have any idea about what is causing this problem, and how to fix it. Also is there any source for the amount of space required in each file system for the various parts of the system?? thanks in advance Jim Ballantine From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Apr 5 07:44:32 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id HAA21853 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 5 Apr 1996 07:44:32 -0800 (PST) Received: from pdx1.world.net (pdx1.world.net [192.243.32.18]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id HAA21811 for ; Fri, 5 Apr 1996 07:44:01 -0800 (PST) Received: from merix.merix.com (merix.com [198.145.172.40]) by pdx1.world.net (8.6.9/8.6.9) with SMTP id HAA06179 for ; Fri, 5 Apr 1996 07:43:57 -0800 Received: from sandy.merix.com by merix.merix.com (4.1/1.1) id AA00570; Fri, 5 Apr 96 07:44:23 PST Received: by sandy.merix.com (4.1/8.0) id AA08888; Fri, 5 Apr 96 07:41:50 PST Date: Fri, 5 Apr 96 07:41:50 PST Subject: AMD Ethernet/SCSI combo chip supported in FreeBSD yet?

Get rid of the card. I used to have about 6 of these cards on various machines. I never really saw problems related to this error, but I decied to go all PCI and switched to SMCs.

I'm guessing that you have DOS on the first drive, and installed FreeBSD on the second, right? If so, the boot manager probably got installed on the second drive, where it doesn't do any good. You'll need to install a boot manager on the first drive.

Here I would typically agree, news.sol.net was a SP3G 486DX4/100 up until a month or two ago, I upgraded to a P90 because I got an excellent deal, not because it needed it. You really need RAM and I/O capacity more than CPU. Some other folks have been talking about 32MB of RAM. Well, maybe it was just me, but that did not cut it for me. Even at 48MB of RAM, with a 16MB history.pag file, expires were painful and performance suffered.. And if you're going to run Web stuff alongside it, I would really suggest that 64MB is minimal. > > There is only one email program for ISP's, namely sendmail. > > Unless you're concerned about security, then you run smail :-) Eh, security through obscurity?

It also needs a little bit of tweaking as it excpects things to exist in locations where they do not exist in FreeBSD (namely sendmail doesn't exist in /usr/lib/sendmail, but rather in /usr/sbin/sendmail, a simple symbolic link fixes this). -Brandon Gillespie- From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Apr 5 09:31:52 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id JAA27739 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 5 Apr 1996 09:31:52 -0800 (PST) Received: from riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu (riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.164]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id JAA27732 for ; Fri, 5 Apr 1996 09:31:50 -0800 (PST) Received: (from dwhite@localhost) by riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu (8.6.12/8.6.12) id JAA08645; Fri, 5 Apr 1996 09:32:29 -0800 Date: Fri, 5 Apr 1996 09:32:29 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: MentaL cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Booting problem with new 2.1 install In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Fri, 5 Apr 1996, MentaL wrote: > > My basic problem is that right after installing freeBSD 2.1 I went to > reboot and run for the first time.

Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I was wondering if somebody could answer a few questions on CD-ROM drives. I have a Matshushita/Panasonic CR-581 4xspeed CD-ROM. In the installation manuals, these CD-ROMs are said to not be supported. However, my CD-ROM is installed in my system as an IDE CD-ROM and is connected through my IDE interface. I was wondering if this CD-ROM might be compatible then with FreeBSD's IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM drivers. If so, how would I mount it if I compile a new kernel with controller wcd0 options "ATAPI" etc Do you think this is fruitless?

I installed it on a 1 MB hard disk an began to prove it. So far I realized there are some diferences between UNIX System V and BSD style, but I have no experience with this type of UNIX. So I beg you to tell me where can I get information about 4.3 or 4.4 BSD UNIX Systems from both the point of view of the user and the point of view of the system admin. If itsn't too much and you have some kind of printed papers about it and you don't need them; please would you be so kind to send'em to me. If you agree just answer me to this e-mail address and I can send you my physicall address for you to post me the materials. Another question I wold want to ask you is the following: We have received from another friend a CD with LINUX SlackWare and we are in front of the question about which of them (LINUX or FreeBSD) will meet our requirements here. Which of them is better? I want to have a detailed comparisson between them. Thank you very much in advance for your answers.

Two 100Mbit ethernet cards? It only makes sense if you want to have a server accessible from two separated (by switches) segments/separate hubs. I haven't heard of anyone routing between two 100Mbit segments with FreeBSD yet and certainly you couldn't do it with your server machine (I have seen figures for FreeBSD to achieve over 73M over 100Mbit Ethernet with a Pentium 100). > > Okay, now for questions: > * What's a good motherboard to go with?

Trying to erase these tapes using the mt -f /dev/nrst0 erase command produces (after a few minutes) the following error message: st0(ncr0:6:0): MEDIUM ERROR asc:3b,0 Sequential positioning error Can someone explain what this message exactly means? Both tapes are almost new; they have been used only once before. The only time that the tapes have been used is for making a DOS backup using norton backup for windows. These backups have both failed. I find it hard to believe that both new tapes have a been physical damaged. So, I suspect a soft error on the tape is introduced by the failing of norton backup. Is this possible? I can understand why writing of the tape may be difficult, but I don't understand why erasing this tape fails. Can anyone help?

It's not clear from the above exactly WHAT sort of data you want logged. You could try the IP accounting stuff (part of IPFW - see man ipfw for more), but that won't log the packet details, just give a summary of traffic to/from specific hosts.

Well, the author did once comment about having at least thought about security while writing it (meaning no slight on Eric). Regardless of whether smail's holes aren't there or just don't get found, the fact is, I've never seen a CERT advisory for it, whereas sendmail has them about once a month (well, maybe a quarter).

SMAPD acts as an SMTP proxy giving hackers nothing to poke at. It passes the mail over to sendmail for the normal processing. This way, sendmail only talks to the simpleminded and well-known smapd which is totally under your control. Michael Dillon Voice: +1-604-546-8022 Memra Software Inc.

The User Config utility doesn't build kernels, for one thing. For another, you have to have /usr/src/sys installed to build kernels; the directory /sys (in your "probably" above) is a symbolic link to /usr/src/sys. Typically you would: 1) Make sure what you need to build a kernel is installed: a) Compiler b) /usr/src/sys 2) Copy a working configuration: cd /sys/i386/conf cp GENERIC MYKERNEL 3) Look at the LINT kernel to find the right lines to add to the file "MYKERNEL" to add your pseudo device (which you don't tell us what it is, so we can't tell you the line, you have to look at the file): more LINT vi MYKERNEL 4) Config your modified configuration file: config MYKERNEL 5) Go to where config puts things and build your kernel: cd /sys/compile/MYKERNEL make depend make make install 6) Reboot. If it explodes, give the name "kernel.old" instead of hitting return or waiting for the timeout at the boot prompt. Once the system is up: cd / mv kernel kernel.explodes mv kernel.old kernel cd /var mv /var/db/kvm_kernel.db /var/db/kvm_kernel.explodes.db mv /var/db/kvm_kernel.old.db /var/db/kvm_kernel.db Go to step #3 Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

No, this wont work above 16MB of text size, as the executable loaders have a limit on it. You *might* be able to get away with changing the MAXTSIZ in src/sys/i386/vmaram.h. Some other things may depend on this setting, I dont know. It's currently hardwired at 16MB and cannot be changed. IMHO, this sucks. MAXDSIZ and MAXSSIZ (for data and stack segments) can be overridden at config time. They are: 128MB data, 64MB stack. Those are rock solid limits and override the ulimit values. -Peter > Terry Lambert > terry@lambert.org >--- >Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present >or previous employers.

Are you using Ontrack's "Disk Manager" or something similar? If you installed to the second disk, this is a known bogon. The best solution is to grab the 'bootinst.exe ' and 'boot.bin' files from the tools directory on the CD or the FTP site, boot from a floppy and run 'bootinst'. Let it install to _both_ disks. If you're running a geometry-mangler, all bets are off. Disk Manager is sort-of supported and generally works fine. Others use totally incomprehensibly mutant schemes and aren't. > Help?

Not to be rude, but you must be _nuts_. Think about it for a second; how many packets do you handle? Consider a small router with a 14.4KBps modem; on a PPP link with an MTU of ~500 bytes, you can move about three packets a second. If you log the time, type , source and destination of the packet, you get a log entry of about 100 bytes. At 300 bytes per second, your log will grow at about a megabyte an hour. If you want something fairly simple, look at the 'ipacct' code in the FreeBSD kernel. (Start with 'man ipacct'). For the opposite end of the scale, look at 'tcpdump'. Somewhere in the middle is the (unfinished) 'cantipole' tool; if neither of these two do what you want, and you are willing to hack on some fairly primitive code, then you're welcome to a copy of it. > Dmitry Solodov -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.

The problem is that there are _two_ 'libforms'; the tty-based library which 'sysinstall' is in unhappy symbiosis, and 'xforms'. To avoid conflicts, 'xforms' is installed as 'libxforms'.

You need to install libxforms (ports) and change references to libforms into libxforms in the LyX Makefile. I also remember I had to copy some header files (forms.h?) into the build directory of LyX.

I think that you're having problems because you don't understand what you're really asking about. This is a fundamental problem with many aspects of technology. (Not being sexist, but ask a mechanic about women and cars to see what I mean...) The answer to this problem is either documentation that addresses every problem from the point of view of a total novice (which is demeaning to people who already understand, not to mention extremely time-consuming and difficult), or to suggest that people go and perform their own research and education process. > I am trying to install a pseudo device.

In other words, you didn't install the source code to the kernel during the installation process. There should be instructions on this in the handbook, otherwise, perform the following steps while logged in as 'root', with the cdrom in the drive and mounted as /cdrom : # cd /usr/src # cat /cdrom/dists/src/ssys.* | tar xvzf - This should present a long list of filenames.

I appreciate the efforts from those that have tried to help! Hopefully I've given you enough here to work with. If you want to experiment with some alternatives before embarking on building a new kernel, the user-mode PPP implementation may be helpful.

I'm told that this specifically happens when loading Netscape's home page -2.0.1 seems to generate this error on Netscape's page itself, and Atlas generates it on the "Personal Homepage" section they recently set up, and as such I suspect their java code in some way. But anyhow, this is a recent occurence -- Netscape under emulation had been running happily for quite some time. On a search for floating point exceptions, I pulled up the NetBSDvsFreeBSD page, and noticed that the author discussed a problem with FreeBSD generating exceptions instead of NaN. Is this still a problem, and could this be the cause of my problems? :) Not all my problems, just the FreeBSD ones. As an unrelated sidequestion, I don't control the bootp/dhcp server on my subnet, and can't add entries as needed. I'd like to use netboot and a reduced kernel to load up FreeBSD occasionally on my old 386 (which used to be my primary BSD system back in 2.0 :) -- does anyone have a modified netboot that has a hardcoded set of IP's to use, instead of bootp? Would it be relatively easy (or hard) to modify netboot to use a config file with settings specific to that PC instead of relying on bootp?

In either case, why is the AMD part clearly holding its own against the P90 and why do the AMD and Intel P90 share the color buglet? -- Brian Litzinger Powered by FreeBSD http[s]://www.mpress.com From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Apr 6 12:32:22 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id MAA13822 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 6 Apr 1996 12:32:22 -0800 (PST) Received: from shell.aros.net ([205.164.111.19]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id MAA13817 for ; Sat, 6 Apr 1996 12:32:19 -0800 (PST) Received: (from angio@localhost) by shell.aros.net (8.7.5/Unknown) id NAA03383 for questions@freebsd.org; Sat, 6 Apr 1996 13:34:16 -0700 (MST) From: Dave Andersen Message-Id: <199604062034.NAA03383@shell.aros.net> Subject: ISDN TAs To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Sat, 6 Apr 1996 13:34:16 -0700 (MST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL13 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've noticed a fair amount of complaining about the BitSurfrs lately, and I'm wondering what people feel overall is the best coice for an ISDN adapter, preferably external, for use under FreeBSD.

When I do cat to/from /dev/audio, it works OK. But when I start up ``au'' (sym linked to ``auvoxware''), following message appears on the console: PCM device 1 not installed. Despite this message, playing audio files with auplay, using audial, etc. work without problem. When it comes to record with aurecord, however, following message comes onto the console repeatedly until auvoxware is terminated: Sound: DMA timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? and no recording is done. (It works fine when I do cat foo.au.) Relevant part of my kernel config file is as follows: # Controls all sound devices controller snd0 device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 vector sbintr options SBC_IRQ=5 device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 6 device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330 device opl0 at isa? port 0x388 # Not controlled by `snd' device pca0 at isa? port IO_TIMER1 tty And here's what kernel says upon bootup: CPU: Pentium (89.98-MHz 586-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x524 Stepping=4 Features=0x1bf real memory = 33554432 (32768K bytes) avail memory = 30420992 (29708K bytes) Probing for devices on PCI bus 0: chip0 rev 1 on pci0:0 chip1 rev 2 on pci0:7 piix0 rev 2 on pci0:7 ...... pca0 on motherboard pca0: PC speaker audio driver ..... sb0 at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 on isa sb0: sbxvi0 at 0x0 drq 6 on isa sbxvo0: sbmidi0 at 0x330 on isa opl0 at 0x388 on isa opl0: And I'm running FreeBSD-current as of 04/03.

If you get a 'good' -current, it'll usually be fine, it's just that quite often you get one that's not so good, and then you end up with a machine that hangs or eats your filesystems (rare) or whatever. -current is good if you're working on FreeBSD, but if you're working on other things and want a stable platform to do your work on, -stable is a better bet. > % ShyOne | Mitayai % -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.

However, I get floating exception and core dump frequently while my netscape-2.01 connect to http://www.netscape.com until 12% done. Sometimes, I wrote a short c++ program and compiled it by g++ -g, when I run it, I got floating exception and core dump, too. If I use gdb to view it, I got Program received signal SIGFPE, Arithmetic exception. 0x8193aa7 in ldexp () and that error occurs earlier than the first line of executable C code.

It seems that my configuration of the kernel must be I wish I had a good answer for this one, but I used to have this problem under Linux (various versions of Slackware and various and uncountable kernel re-compiles.) When I got FreeBSD 2.0.5 (which I'm still running), I was amazed that wave audio worked. My only guess is that the problem has to do with some oddity in the PAS-16 drivers in what-ever kernel version you've got. I'll also mention that, as in your case, the card works just fine under DOS (and OS/2.). Note that this problem does NOT affect playing audio CD's at all.

No problem. mount the CD on the remote PC, e.g. mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0a /mnt export /mnt (/etc/exports) choose NFS installation method during the install phase on your install PC.
