My ISC-Unix partition was removed from the partition sector while installing FreeBSD. This error persisted in 2.1 and is also alive in 2.1.5. This time however, I went into depth and found that the wd driver reports the wrong number of cylinders. My AT-Bus disk (Conner 544CP) has 1054 cylinders, but FreeBSD sees only 1053. It is partitioned as: System Boot Sid Cyl Sec Sid Cyl Sec Offset Size DOS-16 (4) No 1 0 1 15 64 63 63 65457 FreeBSD (165) No 0 65 1 15 227 63 65520 164304 ISC-2.2 (99) Yes 0 390 1 15 1023 63 393120 669312 Solaris (130) No 0 228 1 15 389 63 229824 163296 The ISC partition ends on cylinder 1053 (and it exists indeed). However, since fdisk sees only 1053 (0-1052) cylinders the ISC-partition is not completely inside the disk and therefore marked as 'unused'. (Writing the slices leaves me with some handwork to restore the partition table. :-( ) Note that ISC saw 1054 cyls. -- as in the BIOS -- that's why I used them. Any idea why FreeBSD sees only 1053 cyls. or how to work around ? Anything special about the Conner ?

Here's my situation: I've installed freeBSD on a Conner 1 gb SCSI drive and everything is fine except for I need more diskspace now. So I put in another Connor 1 gb drive just like it -- yet disklabel seems to require a disktab entry even though there is'nt one for the boot disk-- clearly freeBSD has'nt any problem sussing the geometry on that; freeBSD's fdisk understands the geometry on the drive. So why is disklabel unable to read the way it's sliced and label the type=165 slice without some mystical incantations (which I still have'nt figured out!)? If disklabel is going to be so demanding, why is the /etc/disktab that is distributed so limited? It seems like the popular Seagate, Connor, IBM, Quantum and Fujitsu drives ought to be in there. If I ever figure out what the disktab entry should be for my drive, how do I make it available to the freeBSD public so that others may benefit from my toil and grief? thanks!

Perhaps the rfc's shed some light on it. When using pppd - the daemon ppp/kernel ppp - I just compiled the pppx devices in my kernel. I didn't even set them up right.

Can't say more than that it gives _a_ way to configure PPP, but without any references to other possibilities or setup configurations. So when it fails (for what reason whatsoever), you're out in the dark. And this seems to be the problem with all ppp docs I've yet encoutered. Though, I might be wrong - and gladly. What I have in mind (if I ever get to it) is a sort of manual that covers all aspects of ppp. From modem setup - fequently a problem related to ppp - over getty defs, pap or chap or autoppp or login etc., to problem solving in the ppp connection itself. Lots of work, but I really needed it myself and couldn't find it at all. All information seems to be scattered all over the place, with noone really knowing all of it. Well, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I do, but perhaps we could get all relevant info together.

The drive moves the tape around from quite awhile, so I assume the failure is due to my having made the tape incorrectly. From INSTALL.TXT: |Installing from tape is probably the easiest method, short of an |on-line install using FTP or a CDROM.

Nor did: % cd /src/tmp/freebsd/2.1.5-RELEASE % cd bin ; tar c . % cd ../des ; tar r . % cd ../doc ; tar r . So I'm lost: which "files" are tar'd onto the tape ( or, rather, from which part of the 2.1.5-RELEASE path is the tar performed )? Many thanks.

However, I must warn you that there are known bugs in the PAO stuff in both the kernel and userland code which have been fixed or have not been introduced in the code in -current. But, on the other hand the PAO code also contains some significant functionality that doesn't (yet) exist in -current. In any case, 2.1.5 doesn't contain any PCCARD functionality directly, although it would be trivial for someone to build a set of patches to add it in.

FreeBSD follows POSIX, where a "process group" corresponds to a job and the login session is referred to as a "session" (the difference is necessary to add support for BSD-style job control). Under FreeBSD, logging in creates a new session, whose controlling terminal is whichever one you logged in to. Every time you type a command at the shell's command prompt, it forms a new process group:- $ ls # A process group $ prog1 | prog2 # Another process group $ prog3 | prog4 & # A process group in the background Each process group has a process group ID which is equal to the PID of the first process in the job. They will also have a session ID, which is the same for all processes in a login session unless a program calls setsid() to detach itself from the controlling terminal. Such a process will start a new session, with its own session ID, and will be the session leader. It can acquire a new controlling terminal simply by opening one (either a real terminal or a pseudo-terminal for a network connection). If the controlling terminal is lost for some reason (eg user logging out or a dropped connection on a dialup link), SIGHUP is sent only to the session leader for that terminal, unlike SVR3 where it was sent to every process attached to the terminal. Typically, this will be the user's login shell or something like a PPP process which should know how to do the right thing. setpgrp() has been superseded on FreeBSD by POSIX's setpgid(), which is mainly used by shells to implement job control. > Anyone have clues/pointers/source code for a general or specific solution > to this problem The only circumstances I know where a child is signalled by a parent terminating is if the child is stopped; in this case, it receives a SIGHUP followed by a SIGCONT. to verify this, change the 'if (0)' to 'if(1)' in the example below (loosely adapted from "Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment" by Stevens).

The ATI Mach64 is known to cause all kinds of strange behaviour with FreeBSD 2.1.0, but they're supposed to have been worked round in 2.1.5. Can you tell us which version you're using? I haven't heard about the GSSC, though - maybe that's another "problem" card to add to the list. (Strictly speaking, the problems are with FreeBSD, rather than the card itself, but let's not argue about that). Have a look at the FAQ. It goes into a fair amount of detail on how to sort out the Mach64 on 2.1.0; if you fix this, please let us know, so we can add this info for the benefit of anyone else with this card.

I would certainly try installing from scratch again. Let's try and be more positive about the hardware possibilities - maybe your cache settings are a bit too aggressive, in which case it's worth tweaking about with the BIOS settings (after making a note of them, of course). Or you may have an overheating CPU - try taking the case off the machine, or switching on the CPU fan if you have one. Also, it has been known for unscrupulous vendors to try and pass off CPUs as being higher-rated than they really are (eg selling P90's as P100's). FreeBSD prints out the true CPU speed when it boots.

I have the same problem with a Conner CFA420, except the discrepancy is a litle larger - FreeBSD sees only 665 cylinders instead of 826. Every other OS I've run (DOS, Win3.1, WinNT, OS/2, Linux) on it has managed to work this out without any problems, as do the BIOSes on both the PC's I've used it in, so I think there must be something strange about how FreeBSD handles Conner disks (or alternatively, something strange about how Conner disks respond to being probed by FreeBSD).

I find this hard to believe as well - Walnut Creek have been using a 9G drive for Usenet for something like a year, so I'm told. (The reason why it didn't work in Jan 95 was probably because no-one had a disk that big to test it on!). In any case, it's always a good idea to put as many partitions (in the FreeBSD sense) as you can on a disk, as it reduces the potential for loss if anything goes wrong.

Any idea what went wrong here? (I assume 496 is an error > code that means "undeclared identifier," but I don't know where to > look it up.) Simpler than that, actually - it means the error occurred in line number 496 of /usr/src/lib/libc/get/getpwent.c. In this case, a variable is referenced which hasn't been declared. I think the problem here is that one of the system header files has changed and the new version needs to be installed before the compilation will succeed. Try doing 'make includes' first - if that doesn't straighten things out, you're probably looking at a 'make world'.

FreeBSD will start killing processes until the memory problem is resolved. This usually means the program that is trying to start, and working backward. Occaisionally the VM system gets too busy and kills init, but that is very rare. > 1) What is the standard maximum on the number of open files (system wide and > per user) on FreeBSD? How severe is the penalty for increasing these? It's a per-shell basis, I believe. csh/tcsh has a command to limit the number I know. Perhaps others more familiar with the kernel can comment. The penalty would be higher memory consumption. > 2) Linux can use any available free memory for file buffers, so that under > light loads some files may end up being accessed entirely from memory. Does > FreeBSD do this, or does it do a fixed pool of buffers. The merged VM/buffer cache system will allocate unused physical memory to the disk cache, and adjusts this number dynamically depending on memory demands. So I guess it's a similar mechanism.

FreeBSD is a version of 4.4BSD, which is a UNIX-like operating system for the i386 architecture (386,486,Pent,P6). Why UNIX over NT? Well, that depends on what you are doing.

Once the system is up, you don't need sysinstall anymore, since you can do everything it does. If you've compiled your own kernel, add the driver for the Ethernet card to your kernel if you haven't already, rebuild, reinstall. Then edit /etc/sysconfig, find the ifconfig section, and add a ifconfig_xxx line like the ones given. For instance, this is the ifconfig line for my NE2000: ifconfig_ed0="inet 128.223.186.250 netmask 255.255.254.0" Obviously this will vary for your setup.

Just install like you did when you installed before, but instead backup the /etc directory first then select 'update' after booting the boot floppy. That counts for -RELEASEs and -SNAPs.

This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"**). In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. I'm taking the viewpoint of the newcomer here: we have other ways of handling arrogant hackers :-) When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, please remember: 1. Nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message, so please specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Can't get this to work" aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, most people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Please try to format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!!. We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak English as their first language, and we try to make allowances for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message written full of typos or without any line breaks. 4. Please don't include unrelated questions in the same message. Firstly, a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to read the message. 5. Please specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: - If you get error messages, don't say "I get error messages", say (for example) "I get the error message 'No route to host'". - If your system panics, don't say "My system panicked", say (for example) "my system panicked with the message 'free vnode isn't'". - If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what hardware you have. In particular, it's important to know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine. 6. If you don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message again and again will only make you unpopular. For example, let's assume you know the answer to the following question. You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it.

If you have local Ethernet, for heaven's sake use it! That is the next easiest install than CDROM. You can take two tracks this way: 1) FTP directly from ftp.freebsd.org. Slow but works. 2) FTP the files from ftp.freebsd.org to a local FTP site then point install at that machine. We did this here to upgrade a few of our systems to 2.1.5. This way makes it much easier to build or upgrade other systems without the delay from ftp.freebsd.org. Assuming your Ethernet card is supported. For your PPP problem, my guess is one of: 1) The modem device is wrong. At the ppp> prompt, type "show modem" and see where the modem device is set. COM1: will be "/dev/cuaa0" and COM2: will be "/dev/cuaa1". If those are wrong, type "set device /dev/cuaa?" replacing ? with the appropriate number. If your modem is on COM3 or 4, the GENERIC kernel doesn't support those ports, so try to move your modem to those ports. Once you get installed you can move them back after you've reconfigured your kernel. > Our company is called CyberTouch Communicatations Inc, we are Full > Internet Service Providers located as stated up above in Toronto, > Canada.

Get ready to learn! :) And buy some books on system admin. Three books that are high on my recommend list are "Unix System Administration, Second Edition" by Evi Nemeth et al, ISBN 0-13-151051-7. and "TCP/IP Network Administration" from O'Reilly, ISBN 0-937175-82-X, and "Installing and Running FreeBSD" from Walnut Creek CDROM (free when you order the FreeBSD CD). > If someone who reads this can help me out, I will be most oblidged > to him/her. questions is the place, which is where you are at . > Hope to get a reply,, > thanks for reading this and if I can get it going and working well, > I would not object to being mirror for you as we are connected by > ethernet to a T-3 upstairs If you want to be an official mirror, let us know and we'll work something out. Such a connection would be a great help to us, since our main ftp site, even though it can support 1200 FTP users, can use some relief! Hope this helps. Let me know if I've missed something.

You probably have one of the broken Compaq PCI busses. :( I don't know how to fix this, sorry. Hopefully someone else can jump in. I think we had this fixed as a patch to the system sources, but you need a fixed boot floppy.

You need to grab the 'root.flp' image, write that, and feed it when it asks for it. Or install 2.1.5-RELEASE; it does away with the root.flp.

This is the section from disklabel(8): For a virgin disk that is not known to disktab(5), disktype can bespec- ified as ``auto''. In this case, the driver is requested to produce a virgin label for the disk. This might or might not be successful, de- pending on whether the driver for the disk is able to get the required data without reading anything from the disk at all. It will likely suc- ceed for all SCSI disks, most IDE disks, and vnode devices. Writing a label to the disk is the only supported operation, and the disk itself must be provided as the canonical name, i.e. not as a full path name. Maybe single user mode? Your first command should have succeeded. Try dropping the B, it specifies to install the boot code (which you don't need on a second disk). > > This creates ``dangerously dedicated'' drives (thus no `fdisk' > > required), as long as this is fine with you, the above is perhaps the > > easiest way. > > I would be most pleased to see this "easiest way" succeed.

It can't have anything on it. I'd use dd and /dev/zero to overwrite the first few clusters to completely erase the disk. BE CAREFUL, you can thrash the wrong disk this way.. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd1 bs=1k count=512 I take no responsibility for what happens after executing this command :) > sysinstall seems to want to make mods to my existing boot drive -- it all > seems geared for installation not supplementing disks and file systems.

Please! If you have a postscript viewer/printer, grab this: ftp://freefall.freebsd.org/pub/incoming/disks.ps.gz This is the added chapter to "Installing...FreeBSD" that details the long long way to adding disks, as well as anything and everything you'd want to know about hard drives. It details the fdisk/disktab/disklabel/long way. :) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jul 28 20:26:30 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id UAA27659 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 28 Jul 1996 20:26:30 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (cisco-ts13-line15.uoregon.edu [128.223.150.164]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id UAA27653 for ; Sun, 28 Jul 1996 20:26:24 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id UAA00644; Sun, 28 Jul 1996 20:26:29 -0700 (PDT) Date: Sun, 28 Jul 1996 20:26:29 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: Tim Roeckel cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Help..

Thank you for your time and effort. Looks like you missed the disklabel editor. Make sure you go through this and fill them out completely before hitting "Commit". A hint if you don't know what sizes to make everything is to hit 'A' to throw out some calculated defaults.

In the extremely unlikely event that the process consuming all the memory has a pid less than 48, the system will hang. This is extremely unlikely because when the pids wrap at 32767, then wrap back to 100, so usually only processes that were started at system startup time will have pids < 100. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jul 29 00:08:59 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id AAA06466 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 29 Jul 1996 00:08:59 -0700 (PDT) Received: from george.lbl.gov (george-2.lbl.gov [131.243.2.12]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id AAA06457 for ; Mon, 29 Jul 1996 00:08:56 -0700 (PDT) Received: (beattie@localhost) by george.lbl.gov (8.6.10/8.6.5) id AAA05977; Mon, 29 Jul 1996 00:07:54 -0700 From: "Keith Beattie[SFSU Student]" Message-Id: <199607290707.AAA05977@george.lbl.gov> Subject: Re: Screen capture program To: justin@structured.net (Justin Ashworth) Date: Mon, 29 Jul 1996 00:07:53 -0700 (PDT) Cc: questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <31FBA334.446B9B3D@structured.net> from "Justin Ashworth" at Jul 28, 96 05:28:20 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL25] 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 Justin Ashworth wrote: > I don't have a middle mouse button.

Now since they're both Connor 1 gig drives (cps1060s is the model, I think) should I assume that the differences between the geometry reading stem from my boot drive having a 150 meg dos slice (I guess that'd be sd0s1) which disklabel displays no awareness of that I can see, whereas my new disk is now (literally) a blank slate? Tomarrow I'll drop down to single user mode and see if I can get the disk partitions set up.

And will take forever. But Annelise already did that. find /usr/ports -type l -print | xargs rm is much faster and gets rid of links. find /usr/ports -type d -depth -print | xargs rmdir should get rid of empty directories.

The boot probe displays every possible data about the two fixed harddisks, the CD-player and the Jaz drive - apart from disliking the disk geometry of the FAT-formatted Jaz disk. Since my only choice was to install on the Jaz disk, so I did - and it worked! Using OS/2 Boot Manager I4m now able to select "EXTRA_OS" from the boot menu and boot up both FreeBSD and Solaris 2.5 in this way. I haven4t tested how LINUX handles this yet, but I will... In fact, being able to boot from the Jaz-drive solved another problem. Installing Solaris on the second fixed harddisk (on an active, primary D:-partition, initially FAT-formatted by OS/2 FDISK) made OS/2 FDISK and Boot Manager believe, that the whole harddisk was damaged. It was not possible to make OS/2 Boot Manager recognize even the two remaining, untouched primary partitions. I intend to test O/S Boot Select (V: 2.0b8, 1993, by Thomas Wolfram) to see if that boot manager can recognize the UNIX-partition and be able to separate them from the FAT-partitions on the fixed harddisks. Even if the present layout is working, it might be a little more elegant to only have to use one boot manager. I4m still left with the initial problem, though, that FreeBSD (2.1.0) doesn4t allow me to install onto a disk and partition of my own choice (in contrast to SOLARIS...). I4ll try to rip out the network adapter and the sound card, to see if there could be an interference, though it is not obvious from the initial setup and strappings... I have come across some postings, that indicated a possible problem using ASUSTek motherboard and the onboard NCR PCI SCSI-controller above, in connection with the installation and/or use of FreeBSD?? I4ll have to dig deeper into this... Keep on the good hacking!

In principle the system does not recognize my CD so I decided to copy some of the directories in my hard disk as it is explained in the installation manual and I made a bootable floppy. Then I started the installation with the floppy and I decided to make a novice installation. I made a partition of my hard disk and all the procedures that are specified in the installation. I also especified the size of my hard disk (in my case is a Quantum Sirocco 1700, with specification 3309/16/63, it has 1700Mb). Once I followed all the intallation procedures, I re-started my PC, and I got as specified F1 Dos F2 BSD. When I press F2 I just get the same and the same and the same. I read the Hardware.txt and there it is specified as an standard error when the hard disk is not specified correctly. Then I ran the installation again, taking care that the definition of the hard disk was correct, but I got the same. I was reading the FAQ, and it is mentioned that this is symptom that my BIOS geometry and FreeBSD geometry settings do not agree. If this is the problem how do I solve it.

I've got a related question. In PC Warehouse, there is an IT 5x86 plug in, that goes into the 486 or overdrive socket. Will this give me a reasonable performance boost? I just have a 486DX2/50 on an ISA bus. At around $170, it might be "just the thing". The ad doesn't explain it, but it is a 5x86 (apparently) on a little daughter card that goes into the socket. My guess is that you'll get a bit better processor performance, but not really enough to justify, since I have "old" technology, with ISA video and SCSI. Opinions? Paul. -- Paul T.

I think the 3com stuff all goes through ep0 now, it should be detected and assigned automatically without any more work on your part. My 2.1 version of FreeBSD (Jan. 96) doesn't see the fastethernet. However, since I sent my question, I saw that a driver for this card was added to a later version of FreeBSD in March (or May?). I'm hoping that I can pull in just the driver without upgrading the whole kernel... Thanks, /Darren One way to check is to do ifconfig -a and find the ethernet device.

Here in San Diego, an AMD 586 motherboard goes for $115US with CPU and 2 8MB SIMMS for $47US each(today). I think it's better to dump the old MB (and memory if it's not suitable) and get the new.

I take this same CD and Boot Floppy to my home system, configured simialar (I tried the CDROM as slave on The Primary IDE, and maser on the Secondary IDE) At boot time, the system acts like it sees my CD Drive (wcd0: Hitachi.... sorry I don't have a log with me...) but when I try to install off of CD Media it reports "no supported CDROM Drives installed" or something very like that.

I think I nearly have what I was looking for. setsid() (and probably setpgrp()) cannot be issued from a process which is already a group leader, I needed to fork once and then become a new session. Allocating the tty/pty pair was OK, and provided the child did not close the slave side, it got SIGHUP when the parent died. In fact any child which had not closed the slave got SIGHUP. The applications that I want to monitor are probably not tidy enough to close all of the open fids. I think the only issue is that I have a dummy tty/pty pair which I are never used. I was also unable to chown the /dev/ttyXX, which is what xterm et.al. do. I would have to be effective root.

I'm gonna build me a kernel, and one of the devices I have to deal with is a 7-tray CD ROM changer attached to the SCSI host adaptor (a 1742A). I have the bus controller device defined (ahb0? Can't remember now), and I was planning a set of hard-wired SCSI device addresses for the SCSI system disks and this changer. I noticed that under 2.1 I could also specify multi-LUN devices at one address, so I thought I'd take advantage of the features of this changer. The changer has a LUN for each disk tray. If you issue a SCSI command to a specific LUN at the device address, then the changer automatically loads for reading the correct disk in the tray associated with the LUN. Depending on the SCSI command issued, it also may spin up the disk to give a "ready" status. So, first question: should I specify 7 devices (cd0-6) at one address in the kernel def file, then kernel build and MAKEDEV the appropriate device entries? I have the feeling that this will cause (at boot time) the kernel to probe the individual LUNs, resulting in the drive going through each tray one at a time (with a total delay of some 30 secs as each one of the 7 disks spin up). This ain't such a big deal, but here's the next Q: Should I be setting SCSI_DELAY to be greater than the total spinup time, the individual disk spinup time, or use my head and suck-it-and-see (*many* kernel rebuilds unless there's a kernel variable patch method I don't know about yet)? I am assuming here that SCSI_DELAY is a compile option rather than a variable assignment. Let's assume I now have 7 valid devices (/dev/cd0-6) and the system has come up OK without arguing. I now add automount statements to /etc/fstab for all 7 devices (as -ro, CD9660) to ensure I can access them quickly as needed. Next Q: Can I now just issue a forced "mount all" without problems? The scenario I imagine is that the kernel will then go through the devices one at a time (as the mounts are performed), and assuming they mount successfully as CD9660's, will be happy. I should observe the changer again goes through each tray as each disk is mounted. This would mean that each disk is "ghost" mounted (the logical device is mounted on the FS mount point even if the physical disk is not currently loaded in the read position) and each time a device is accessed (for a read, say), the changer will load the appropriate disk in response to a SCSI command for that LUN. (Note, I can see a problem here if I tried to do something as obviously dumb as trying to copy something between two -ro /dev/cdx devices, but no-one's gonna be that dumb, right? ;^) Last Q: since a disk takes 2-3 seconds to be loaded into read position and then be spun up (in response to a read, say), will there be a timeout as a result of the kernel thinking the disk isn't ready? If so, what do I have to twiddle to allow for this the first time a disk is loaded?

Automated mail applications should already be calling sendmail directly, and it's a simple matter of putting the correct headers in and using the correct encoding. In fact, if you have the `mpack' program (available in ports), you can just use that directly: mpack version 1.5 usage: mpack [-s subj] [-d file] [-m maxsize] [-c content-type] file address... mpack [-s subj] [-d file] [-m maxsize] [-c content-type] -o file file mpack [-s subj] [-d file] [-m maxsize] [-c content-type] -n groups file Unfortunately, it generates an extraneous outside `multipart/mixed' element, rather than sending the file directly; this is so that it can include a paragraph of explanatory text. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

With this boot manager you can add or delete items; I think you can change the time out; and you can decide whether you want it to default to a particular OS or to the last OS booted.

Do NOT buy a UMC 5x86 MoBo if you have a bus-mastering SCSI controller (e.g. 1542CF). ASUS makes some good ones. So when is USWest going to make consumer DSL IP available? Given that y'all refuse to sell ISDN (even at the *exhorbitant* tarriffs handed to you in Minnesota) even in areas with Passports installed, I'm thinking I might have to startup a competitor in order to get CO DSL in this lifetime...

There are lots of plans but thus far no results. The problem is that the code quality of the freely-available implementations that we have seen leaves something to be desired, and since FreeBSD has advanced quite far beyond 4.4-Lite even those implementations are not easy to port. There has been some talk in the circles I move in (or more accurately, which move over my head and occasionally condescend to drop some tidbits down to me) of a desire to put together a ``network research community IPv6 reference implementation'' which would include the best parts of the NRL and INRIA codebases along with a lot of new work to bring them up to more reliable standards. I haven't heard anything about this in a few weeks now, and don't know what state (if happening at all) it is in. In any case, these same people have mostly been convinced to run FreeBSD, so such an implementation will very likely drop right in (and should work with other systems, too). Now, all this isn't to say that if someone handed me tomorrow a cleaned-up version of the NRL stack with all the missing pieces filled in and a workable way around the export issue that I would be averse to using it---far from it. But, that seems like a large amount of work, and I have been told obliquely that I shouldn't spend any of MIT's time (read: money) on such an effort. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

You can press ^D to boot on up to multi-user mode, but if you haven't added a user account and put that account in the wheel group, root is locked out of the system. So my question is, does anyone know what is broken? Or am I doing something really stupid?

Based on the cards I've seen, you can get 2 6 port cards per machine in shared interrupt mode. I've also used the Digiboard 16/Xe's with considerable success using the dgb driver in 2.1 with some work (ie - working out the debugging comments, etc). I've considered seeing if the included interrupt code works at all, but have put it off due to a lack of time. For clarification sake, I've used the Boca's for PPP/SLIP, and async connections. The Digiboards I've used only for async termina sessions, but I suspect throughput for other applications should be reasonable. -Brian From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jul 29 13:17:47 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id NAA19663 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 29 Jul 1996 13:17:47 -0700 (PDT) Received: from opus.mtu.edu (root@opus.mtu.edu [141.219.70.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id NAA19627 for ; Mon, 29 Jul 1996 13:17:13 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mtu.edu (mtu.edu [141.219.70.1]) by opus.mtu.edu (8.6.13/8.6.12) with ESMTP id QAA21974 for ; Mon, 29 Jul 1996 16:16:53 -0400 Received: from pobox.ee.mtu.edu (pobox.ee.mtu.edu [141.219.23.145]) by mtu.edu (8.6.13/8.6.12) with ESMTP id QAA09515 for ; Mon, 29 Jul 1996 16:16:53 -0400 From: Christian Weitenberner Received: from kirchhoff1.ee.mtu.edu (kirchhoff1.ee.mtu.edu [141.219.22.101]) by pobox.ee.mtu.edu (8.6.10/MTU-R1.4) with ESMTP id QAA23484 for ; Mon, 29 Jul 1996 16:16:33 -0400 Received: (from caweiten@localhost) by kirchhoff1.ee.mtu.edu (8.6.10/MTU-C1.3) id QAA15946 for questions@FreeBSD.org; Mon, 29 Jul 1996 16:16:50 -0400 Message-Id: <199607292016.QAA15946@kirchhoff1.ee.mtu.edu> Subject: IP connection To: questions@FreeBSD.org Date: Mon, 29 Jul 1996 16:16:50 -0400 (EDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Here's the problem ...

If your case can take the regular Baby AT case ones, then you will be better off getting a Pentium pin compatible (AMD 5K86) chip with Pentium motherboard for about $30 more (It's upgradable to Pentium 166). Or if you insist, pick up a new AMD 5x86-133 with VLB motherboard + Fan + 256K cache for $159. That way, you won't have to take chances with incompatibility problems and perhaps sell your old motherboard with cpu for some money back. My point is you can get a NEW AMD 5x86-133 with VLB motherboard for less than the cost of the cpu plug-in upgrade.

Actually, ppp terminates right there, i.e. I dont get the ppp on hostname> prompt. Well, I wasn't able to solve the problem with the few answers I received, so I'm asking again if anyone knows what could cause this. My modem is on COM2 (/dev/cuaa1), but I have created tun0 in the /dev directory using MAKEDEV because I have found no indication that it should be tun1. Does the number of the tunnel device need to correspond to that of the com port? Also, should tun0 be set up in /etc/sysconfig? I get the same error messages whther or not it is. If I remember right, for the few days that I ran 2.1.0R, I didn't have tun0 set up but user ppp worked just fine (at least I got a ppp on hostname> prompt). I am currently running 2.1.5R on a 100 MHz Pentium with a Hayes Accura 14.4 external modem. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Instructions for setting up anonymous FTP are in the ftpd man page ('man 8 ftpd'). I would highly suggest installing wu-ftpd if you are running a anonymous server; it has many more options and improvements over the standard ftpd.

It sounds like you have everything set up except the resolver. man 5 resolver will give you all the details to set up your nameserver configuration. You need to edit the file /etc/resolv.conf to add your ISP's nameservers.

Reinstall FreeBSD on that disk using this procedure: 1) Use DOS fdisk to: a) Blow away the FreeBSD slice you just made. b) make a small primary DOS partition on that disk. 2) Boot the FreeBSD install floppy. When you get to the fdisk editor, delete the DOS slice you just made and install FreeBSD as you did before.

(The attribute to change to make Printf print color) Fix the backspace problem by giving the command stty erase ^H (that's shift-6 h, not backspace) You can get some indications through the -F flag to ls; this adds a / for dirs, * for executables, @ for symbolic links, and so on.

You will at least need boot.flp and the bin distribution; you will want at least the kernel sources (sys/ssys.*). If PPP isn't working, give 'show modem' and make sure the device is set right (/dev/cuaa0 is sio0/COM1, cuaa1 is sio1/COM2, etc.). If it's wrong, type 'set device /dev/cuaa?) with ? being the proper sio port. Note that sio2 and 3 (COM3 and COM4) aren't supported in the generic kernel. If you have a modem on those ports, move it down to 1 or 2 temporarily, then move it back and compile a new kernel with the appropriate settings.

I have had a similar problem where ports on a multi port card are not detected after a crash. David G. explained this to me a while back as a problem flushing all received data (interrupts) so that the port can be initialized properly. sio.c problably needs patching to fix this. As stated above, the reboot command does cure the problem once the system is back up. The trick is of course to make sure you can 'get' to the system inorder to issue that command ;-) Andrew Webster - andrew@pubnix.net - http://www.pubnix.net PubNIX Montreal - Connected to the world - Branche au monde 514-990-5911 - P.O.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk This is a pretty bad problem. I rawcopied the boot.flp file to the boot disk and it works perfectly. I am trying to install from an MS-DOS (Win95) partition. I copied all of the bin files into the c:\freebsd\bin directory and tried installing. The program installs all the partitions and everything is fine, until it gets to the copy/slash stage. Once the install program reaches about 120K of the first file it quits with an error message that there's an error writing the files. This problem is especially weird, because it actually READS from the partition, so it can't be a problem with recognizing the partition. I am trying to install from a Western Digital 2.5G EIDE hard drive onto a partition that is on the last 500M of the hard drive. I tried a floppy installation, but it doesn't even recognize the files on the floppy as the bin distribution files. Someone please help, I need to install the system FAST! Thanks for your help.

Posting a guess for my own education: I don't think you can do it since the BIOS boot won't run on drives past #2. Swap the second drive on the first controller with the drive on the second controller, and make sure you have a boot manager (e.g. OSBS, NT Loader, OS/2 Boot Manager, or FreeBSD's own BootEasy) installed on the first drive.

Kernel option and ft manual page that there is some support for floppy tape backups for FreeBSD. I have tried a Colorado T1000 Travan backup with no luck. I have also been advised through this forum before, that floppy backups are hopeless and that I should settle for nothing less than SCSI. However, the cheapest SCSI based tape drive that Dirt Cheap Drives, say, has in stock is $999 for a 2GB HP drive. I simply cannot afford this, so I must persue another route. I need an inexpensive yet reasonably convenient means of backing up data on the order of at least 500MB in size. This method would need to be supported in both FreeBSD and Windows 95 for it to be worth my investment. Are there any floppy tape drives that are reported to work with FreeBSD? How about removable cartridge drives? Thank you for any suggestions.

Why when unplugging the cable from the UTP port on an SMC pci adapter I get: de0: abnormal interrupt: 0xfc669004 [0x9000] ? Wouldn't 'de0: carrier lost - check cable' be more appropriate? 2. When there is no cabled plugged into the adapter, the kernel during probing, configures it for the AUI (doesn't have one) port. Once the system has booted, you have to initialize it with ifconfig {params} -link2 to get the UTP port to work again, but just ifconfig (before init) doesn't show that link2 is infact on. This took a few minutes to figure out what was really going on! Thanks!

For example: ns.company-a.com 1.1.1.1 ns.company-b.com 2.2.2.2 Both would actually be ns.company-a.com (1.1.1.1), but company-b would look like they were running their own name server. I tell you that named code is so poor (patched), I can't figure what the heck is going on. I am surprised it works at all! As Internet users become more sophisticated, they will run whois queries to see who is really running their own server -- I would like to make it virtually impossible to detect that my clients do not actually run their own server. **************************************** John Clark jc@netview.net NetView Communications http://www.netview.net **************************************** From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jul 30 11:54:52 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id LAA27956 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 30 Jul 1996 11:54:52 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail.shlink.de (root@mail.shlink.de [194.64.6.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id LAA27941 for ; Tue, 30 Jul 1996 11:54:47 -0700 (PDT) Received: by mail.shlink.de (Smail3.1.29.1 #1) id m0ulJx1-000YxWC; Tue, 30 Jul 96 20:55 MET DST Received: (from hw@localhost) by thor.shn.com (8.6.12/8.6.6) id UAA10582 for questions@freebsd.org; Tue, 30 Jul 1996 20:41:54 +0200 Date: Tue, 30 Jul 1996 20:41:54 +0200 Message-Id: <199607301841.UAA10582@thor.shn.com> From: hw@thor.shn.com (Henning Wickhorst) Subject: SLIP on demand ?

Nonetheless, this question has been asked many times before (indeed I remember answering one in the last week or two), and it's much quicker to look in the archives yourself than wait for the list to come up with an answer... Although I've only ever used Intel CPU's (not because of any particular reason, it just so happened that the machines I've used had them), I've not seen any bad reports from people who've used others. The only one I would have qualms about using is the old Cyrix 486 clone (the one with 1kB of cache and no FPU).

The best way to do this is probably to use the existing tools in /usr/src/release. Be warned, though, you'll need something like 400MB of disk space as you'll have to do a 'make world' first...

The fix is to down and up the interface using ifconfig -- that'll bring it back to life. Ugly, but it works. When we were using one of those cards, I wrote a quick perl script that ran every minute to see if the world was alive and reset the interface. It's at the end of this message.

First of all, don't panic! :-) Secondly, use 'root' (without the quotes) as the user name. This is an account that should only be used for system administration, as you are effectively "God" and can wipe your system with a single careless keystroke. Also, you should be very careful not to allow other people to use this account unless you are absolutely certain you can trust them. In particular, you *must* setup a password for root if you are even thinking about putting your computer on the Internet. To do this, give the passwd command and type in your chosen password (you'll be asked for it twice, in case you mistyped it the first time). Thirdly, set up an account for yourself by giving the adduser command. You should use this every time you log in in future - if you need to do some system admin work, you can use the su command to temporarily become root, but you must add yourself to the 'wheel' group in /etc/group for this to work, like so:- Before ~~~~~~ wheel:*:0:root ... After ~~~~~ wheel:*:0:root,james ... Finally, get hold of a good book on Unix - you're going to need it! (There are some suggestions in the Handbook).

Well, those aren't problems; it just means that your card is not a SoundBlaster 16 and it couldn't find the MIDI port on the SB. If sb0 works then you should be okay.

But for FreeBSD you want to turn that off with the 3c5x9.exe config utility and specify the IRQ and base address. There you can set it to IRQ 11.

I suppose this isn't really what Gary is asking, but for those with WWW access it may be worth repeating that http://www.dejanews.com provides a very quick and easy way to search several of the more important FreeBSD lists. For instance, a search on "5x86" turned up 27 hits in the muc.lists.freebsd.questions newsgroup, covering the period Dec 95 to Jul 96.

It worked for me, but YMMV. Yes, it's a bug in the early chips - supposedly fixed in later steppings. The "official" workaround for the defect is to do what you're doing, but in the driver. Basically, if you don't see any packets come in over a period of a few seconds, then reset the card (actually, reprogram the multicast filter, but this requires re-initializing the card).

(I thought that some metadata might go to disk still synchronously, thus MFS being faster in such cases).

Not exactly. FreeBSD twists your hardware in ways that MS-DOS would never, and can uncover hidden bugs in firmware. If an ISA card works fine then I would try to find a different VLB card. Avoid the Promise brand cards, they aren't 100% compatible. Also double-check your IRQ assignments and make sure no two things are using the same IRQ.

Why are you asking the BSD developers about the GNU license? We're using the BSD license, not the GNU license. Have your lawyer review the BSD license as well and have him/her point out the differences. But, as a programmer my answer is 'NO', but if you link against the GNU libraries (anything whose sources lives in /usr/src/gnu/lib), you may have to provide 'source and object' code to the libraries, which are supplied by handing them a FreeBSD CD. Or, if you don't use the GNU libraries you can simply give them a binary. > 2.

The BSD copyright is very different than the GNU copyright, and my opinion on the GNU license clouds my judgement so I won't answer the questions as if a GNU system were involved.

Hi there, I use a 3c509 under 2.1.0R and found that I needed to manually add routes to the aliases as ifconfig would not always add the correct routing table entries. Its not pleasant, but: route add 127.0.0.1 foreach will fix things. Sounds like a bug somewhere if it worked fine for you under 2.1.0R but not for me, and now flakes in a similar way for you in 2.1.5R as for me in 2.1.0R.

I am using a server running freebsd-snap. The server connects a local area network. It connects 9 smart terminals (PC's). After logging in successfully, I notice that whenever I press carriage-return, it ends up doing *two* carriage-returns. In short, if I press the key, it's like I pressed the key twice. There is nothing wrong with the keyboard I use. The keys does'nt stick. This does not happen to me if I were using the server itself. I wonder what goes wrong? This only happens when one uses one of the client terminals (PC's).

I run ppp via ppp account (/usr/local/bin/ppplogin, ppplogin: #!/bin/sh /usr/sbin/ppp -direct ) My /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file looks like this: default: set ifaddr 194.181.22.1 194.181.22.10 where 194.181.22.1 is my machine number and 194.181.22.10 of the machine on the other end of the wire.

I ported lynx recently to my freebsd box. I got it installed and there were no problems when I did this. I tried connecting to www.yahoo.com and it works fine. But, whenever I connect to www.freebsd.org or ftp.cdrom.com, lynx connects but it stops on the message at the screen's bottom, "HTTP request sent; Waiting for response". And this goes on forever !!! I tried lynx in one linux box and did the same. Lynx however connects without stopping at the message above. I kept on repeating this comparison and I got same results. Lynx running in FreeBSD stops at the message above when I connect to www.freebsd.org or ftp.cdrom.com and lynx running in linux can connect to this sites. I wonder what is wrong ?

We have several BSD machines, and all have 10/100 or 10 mbs Digital PCI cards of one brand or another. We have also used various brands on machines built for clients, and all have worked great. Recently, Ingram was giving $100 back on 5 packs of genuine Digital 21140 PCI cards (the DE500), and since we had 5 machines to build, we ordered a box. Unfortunately, this card is always seen by BSD as a 100TX card, even though the card is plugged to a 10mbs hub. What's more, at power on, the card indicates that it is in 10mbs modes, yet BSD still wants to put it into 100mbs mode. I have seen this happen on several mother boards, and on several hubs, so it looks like BSD is just confused by the way this card is giving speed sense information. Is there anyway around this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I later switched to a 486DX-66 with 8MB, and it seems more stable. I even recompiled the kernel for non-polling mode on all 3 lpts. The failure mode we still observe from time to time: after an indeterminate period of inactivity (ie, no print requests), the host seems to refuse all sorts of TCP/IP contact (ftp/telnet/lpr) except ping. Consequently no printing. Oddly enough the host itself still allows ftp/telnet access from the console to other hosts. Even a shutdown (not cold boot) doesn't fix it. A cold boot generally does. One other odd thing we noticed after a shutdown is that by running a netstat -r after login and waiting till hell freezes over for the full results, the "missing" contact is reinstated. In other words, the problem goes away. The NIC is, as some would expect, an NE2000 clone (at irq 12, iobase 300). Trying to use irq 2 or 5 (although -c/visual reports no conflict) generally results in ed0:timeout messages during boot, a sure sign of trouble. We've seen oddball behavior on WinNT 3.51 workstations using bus mouse input (presumably irq 12) as well: after a period of no mouse use, the mouse freezes up. We no longer use anything but serial mice in that environment. Finally, the question: despite its availability, is irq 12 considered one of the black sheep of the PC hardware family, and to be avoided for things like NIC settings? Any horror stories to be shared? thanks for listening, larry ps. Yes, the kernel was modified for irq12 on ed0, but the behavior preceded the kernel change. pps.

The worst that will happen is that the system will hang due to virtual memory exhaustion. You should not increase it to >99, however, as 100 is the starting point after it wraps at 30000 and thus may protect processes that shouldn't be protected. The whole thing is admittedly somewhat of a kludge, but it actually handles about 98% of the failure cases and is a far better solution (killing off the process that faults when VM is exhausted) than hanging or crashing the system. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jul 31 09:41:34 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id JAA09761 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 31 Jul 1996 09:41:34 -0700 (PDT) Received: from aardvark.ucs.uoknor.edu (aardvark.ucs.uoknor.edu [129.15.10.11]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id JAA09753 for ; Wed, 31 Jul 1996 09:41:32 -0700 (PDT) From: DBROCKUS@aardvark.ucs.uoknor.edu Received: from aardvark.ucs.uoknor.edu by aardvark.ucs.uoknor.edu (PMDF V4.3-13 #7521) id <01I7PZ7SFKZK007E4Q@aardvark.ucs.uoknor.edu>; Wed, 31 Jul 1996 11:42:14 -0500 (CDT) Date: Wed, 31 Jul 1996 11:42:14 -0500 (CDT) Subject: boot up problem with 2.0.5R Need Help To: questions@freebsd.org Message-id: <01I7PZ7SHZSI007E4Q@aardvark.ucs.uoknor.edu> X-Envelope-to: questions@freebsd.org X-VMS-To: IN%"questions@freebsd.org" 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 have a BIG problem.

Pity. I -really- don't want to run current at the moment. I have a Linux app that I'd like to port to FreeBSD, but it doesn't look like it'll be easy. Most of the work is done by routines written in Microsoft assembler. The author then ran the coff-format output of MASM through some linux program that elf-ized them. I have the coff and elf binaries, but not the MASM sources (but I can probably get them). So, it looks like I'd need one or more of the following: 1. To run FreeBSD-current and use the already-built elf executable (This option is ruled out by definition). 2. A MASM-to-GAS translator (These exist [where?], but are not painless and automatic, right?) 3. A linker that can read coff or elf object files (I don't think this exists in BSD). There's also the question of whether the MASM routines would work properly under BSD WRT register usage, stack usage etc, but I'm optimistically not worrying about that right now. Should I worry?

I would like to switch to FreeBsd, but have a few concerns. (1.) Can Freebsd do IP aliasing, i.e. multiple ip addresses on one NIC interface? (2.) Is there a Motif port available for Freebsd? (3.) Does Apache's VirtualHost http daemon compile and run under Freebsd? (4.) Is Xmgr, ImageMagick, and Ghostscript available with FreeBsd? (5.) I understand that the IP stack implementation on Freebsd is much more robust than Linux which makes Freebsd perform much better as a Web server, is this true? Thank you, Steve Stuczynski S.J.S.

This is more of a religious issue, but I would say that this is probably true. I think that IP stack implementation in and of itself would be a rather poor metric to use to distinguish the servers. Lots has to do with script processing performance (fork/exec and friends), data safety (FreeBSD does sync metadata writes by default, Linux apparently comes with this turned off, so a potential for more dataloss is there).

Has anyone successfully set up hylafax under FreeBSD? Or, for that matter, under SunOS? I'm running FreeBSD 2.1 and XFree86. Sorry, I don't recall the version of XF86 but it's the one that ships with FBSD 2.1. What must I do? The modem that I have is a microcom DespPorte FAST (don't ask). And, just like the $50 modems, it assumes a PC running DOS or Windows or such. There is a "FaxWorks" diskette that came with it but so far as I can see, that will be of no help under FreeBSD. I'm lookinf for a job and it would really be handy to be able to send FAXes without running to the drugstore. Thanks for any help. I apologize if I have neglected to include an essentilal piece of information. I know virtually nothing about FAXs. I'll happily provide any information that I have it you'll tell me what it is. :) Oh--I'm not committed to hylafax. If there's something better or easier to set up in the packages or ports, I'm open to suggestion.

It turns out that the ISA bus is well defined in terms of which paddle traces are which signals; we all have the schematic :-). Or we can get it pretty easily. I'm serious about cutting the trace and tacking on a wire to another pad on the paddle (if the interface isn't so inexpensive that it doesn't have the traces).

Your parameters don't quite match the profile, so you may not have the problem I had in mind. However, the present FreeBSD DOS code (which we're working on replacing) does tend to be a bit shaky accessing large DOS partitions (even 500M). You did say the error was on _writing_ (not reading) the files? If an error occurred while writing to the disk, the problem may well be at another level, and your drive simply isn't being recognized/handled correctly. It could be worth retrying a floppy installation, to see if any files then get written to the hard drive without errors. Which version of FreeBSD are you installing (2.1 or 2.1.5)? I haven't done a floppy install in a while, and the files needed on the floppies differ from one version to the other. Do you have the files in directories off the root (eg. a:\bin\bin.aa) and - if 2.1.5 - do you have 'bin.inf' on the first diskette? -- Robert Nordier From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jul 31 17:42:52 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id RAA17060 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 31 Jul 1996 17:42:52 -0700 (PDT) Received: from cwo.com (root@tonka.cwo.com [207.49.29.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id RAA17054 for ; Wed, 31 Jul 1996 17:42:50 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from root@localhost) by cwo.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) id QAA24700 for questions@freebsd.org; Wed, 31 Jul 1996 16:44:12 -0700 From: root Message-Id: <199607312344.QAA24700@cwo.com> Subject: HELP!!

I lost a disk last night that had the /usr directory mounted on it. After replacing the disk and attempting to ftp the bin distribution, since I couldn't boot the system with no /usr files available. There are some file systems that say they are not BSD file systems and I can't edit them using disklabel since vi core dumps. In fact everything core dumps. Also when I went through the download of the 'bin' distribution, when it attempted to chgrp and chown on the files, it gave me a floating point error, then core dumped on every file. The disk I lost was a SCSI. I replaced it with an EIDE drive, which is not the root system drive. I don't know if that's causing my problem or what. I'm not sure what to do next or how to resolve this. What could be causing the everything to core dump?? Don't send to the list since this account is NOT on the questions mailing list.

When I boot it, I get the normal four or five lines of header and usage information followed by the "boot:" prompt. But then about three seconds later, it goes into a loop where it keeps printing ERROR: C:0 H:0 S:0 infinitely. I've got a Dell P100 with nothing special except an additional 1.6GB Western Digital added to the primary EIDE controller. I got a response that my disk could be imperfect or it could be that I'm writing the boot disk on a Win95 computer which will screw it up unless I actually boot from a DOS floppy first. OK, I tried that but then I discovered that even when I wrote the disk using the dd command on an SGI, I still got the same results. I wrote several floppies using several different OSes; always the same result. Also, when I try these same boot disks on another PC, they work just fine. Then I posted to news:comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc and I got a reply from Joerg Wunsch saying: > Basically means your bootstrap cannot read the floppy at all. > > Are you sure the machine's setup (in particular floppy drive setup) is > okay? I'm not really sure how to check this but here's what I did find: When I create a Linux boot floppy I have no problems. When I create a NetBSD boot floppy I have no problems. There's obviously something peculiar about the FreeBSD boot that is causing my computer to choke. What could it be? I went through my bios and I can't find anything that could affect me. What do I do next? I'm really very serious about installing FreeBSD on my PC and I'm not willing to give up yet. I don't even know whether the "ERROR: .." message is being created by my PC or the FreeBSD boot -- and I certainly don't know how to find out. If I could get FreeBSD installed on my PC, I would be more than willing to return the favor in whatever way I'm capable. Even if that means some verification and validation of software mods. Well, I hope to hear back from you soon. Like I said, I'm very willing to put some serious work into this. If only I knew where to start.

No matter what I try, FreeBSD will not see the new card. I plugged the same card into another box with Win95 on it and it saw the additional serial port right away. I did recompile my kernel to add support for sio2 before this episode even started. Am I missing something?

Now that you mention it, I seem to remember some options for the Ensoniq. I may be confusing it with the OPTi, though. I'm crossposting this to -multimedia. It looks like your SB16 problem could be traced to the kernel config. My audio config lines look like this: controller snd0 device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 vector sbintr device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 5 device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330 device opl0 at isa? port 0x388 I think you've left the configuration details off of sbxvi0 (note the at isa? drq 5). The CD play is piped directly from the CD to the mixer on the card, it isn't digitized. realaudio won't work until a FreeBSD-specific version is released.

Uh, umount /nfshome? umount -f /nfshome if it really hung? NFS is written such that if the NFS server dies and restarts, once it gets going again you should regain access to that mount.

Ouch ouch ouch. If I had backups, then I'd just blow everything away, recreate all the partitions, and restore. It looks like the disklabel got munched or worse.

Somehow the bootblocks think your root partition is above 1024 cylinders. This may be related to your geometry problem. What you should do is: 1) Use DOS fdisk to: a) blow away the FreeBSD partition. b) make a small DOS partition on that disk. 2) Boot using boot.flp. a) In the fdisk editor, delete the DOS partition you just made and install FreeBSD as before. That should help sysinstall figure out the proper geometry. Is there anything else (other OSs) on the disk?

PPP handles all the TCP protocol details on top of the actual data, so your performance will vary from a straight dialin.

Do you know where I could get good deals? DAT stands for "Digital Audio Tape" and is a newer form of the original casette tape. They are larger (resembling 8mm videotapes) and hold more data. Like the casette storage devices of old, many DAT-based tape backup solutions have sprung up recently. The cost of the device and tape is offset by their incredible storage capacity -- up to 8GB. There are two main classes of DAT encoding: DDS-1 and DDS-2. DDS-2 is newer and can hold more but is more expensive All the DATs you'll find are SCSI interfaced and as such are compatible with FreeBSD. The most recommended are made by HP. A search of the mail archives should reveal the relevant part numbers. Hope this helps and maybe someone who actually knows something about DAT can comment. :-) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jul 31 22:06:31 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id WAA28189 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 31 Jul 1996 22:06:31 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost.my.domain (root@morrison-c23.aa.net [204.157.220.155]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id WAA28184 for ; Wed, 31 Jul 1996 22:06:29 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (smpatel@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by localhost.my.domain (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id WAA01321; Wed, 31 Jul 1996 22:06:06 -0700 (PDT) Date: Wed, 31 Jul 1996 22:06:06 -0700 (PDT) From: Sujal Patel X-Sender: smpatel@localhost To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu cc: Justin Ashworth , questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: /dev/dsp out of mem. errors (was Re: your mail) 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 Wed, 31 Jul 1996, Doug White wrote: > > >> I keep getting errors telling me that there's no more space on /dev/dsp > > when Ummm..

X-Incognito-Sn: 319 X-Incognito-Format: VERSION=2.01a ENCRYPTED=NO Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi there. I seem to making use of rather of a lot of your time these days, so I'll try and keep it brief. I have an EISA box, and have built a custom kernel to suit my kit. The bus controller is configured as an isa0, with the various system devices hung of it. I am aware of the inherent limitations of the ISA setup (the 16M DMA address space limit, 16 bit transfers, interrupt management etc.), and was curious originally to see if there was explicit EISA bus controller support in FreeBSD the way there is for PCI. From the bridge chip sets being used on modern high-end server machines which give combined EISA/PCI bus capability, it would seem to me to mean that explicit EISA bus controller support would be an interesting way for FBSD to go. However, on reading the READMEs and docs, it appears as if there's not so much available. FINALLY, I get to the point ;) - I was scanning the hackers list a while back and came across a thread relating to WIP on a driver for the 3COM 3C579 EISA ethernet card. There was a reference to a kernel configuration line using a bus controller keyword eisa0. Excitement! Does this mean that there is WIP on EISA bus controller support and support devices? Any info would be greatly appreciated! -- Happiness is a smoking processor....... Rob Schofield M.Sc.

Actually, I think the most common DAT tapes in the computer industry are the 4mm version. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there are also 8mm DAT tapes which are probably the same as the DAT tapes that never caught on in the music world. The 8mm DAT tapes are roughly the same size as a regular audio cassette but maybe a little thicker. The 4mm DAT tapes are about half the size of an audio cassette and a little thinner. The 4mm DAT tapes come in 60M, 90M, and 120M (DDS-2) lengths. > All the DATs you'll find are SCSI interfaced and as such are compatible > with FreeBSD. The most recommended are made by HP. A search of the mail > archives should reveal the relevant part numbers. Yes, I highly recommend the HP 1533 DAT drives. No problems (so far) with these drives both at work and at home. Search the FreeBSD handbook or FAQ for more about DAT drives.

Hmm. Mgetty can use call-id to determinate the caller. But your modem and your telephone company have to support it.

Or (just freewheeling) use kernel ppp with an options.cuaaX file to set per device options. > > Any help with these questions would be MUCH appreciated.

PPP is such a tricky thing to set up: I used to use user ppp as well, but it didn't work flawlessly so I switched to kernel.

I believe in terms of cost, and performance on both my FreeBSD partition and my Win95 partition, that investing in a second large hard drive is my best option. I am going to purchase a SCSI-2 hard drive to be attached to my Trantor SCSI controller on my ProAudioStudio sound board. Do you anticipate any problems? I am running Win95 and FreeBSD 2.1.0. My primary question is: how should I format and partition my new hard drive appropriately so that I will have a DOS/Win95 partition and a UNIX partition such that they contain only the most minimal formats and OS files necessary to archive files to. In other words, I would like my UNIX partion to not have to contain any unnecessary operating system files. I want to optimize space by just putting 'tar' files there if I can. I want a similar setup with my Win95 partition, but I think I have the documentation and know how for that. I believe in solving this, all my problems will have been addressed.

It's hung off of a Buslogic BT545S (bt0:) and on the same SCSI bus as a Quantum Lightening 512MB SCSI2 drive and a Toshiba 3401B CDROM. All 3 devices have correct termination, the HDD is scsi id 6, cdrom is 0 and the tape is 1 and they're all on a 3 foot long ribbon cable. The current problem is that when I try to say "tar cvf /dev/rst0 /cdrom" ,that is, tar the whole CDROM to a tape for a friend that has a DAT but no CDROM(don't ask me why), it goes for quite awhile then I start getting errors like kernel: bt0: trying to reset, etc. Then, /usr, which is on the SCSI drive, dissapears and if I'm lucky, I start getting errors reporting BT0: trying to reset and calling debugger. If I'm NOT lucky, it just reboots. Then I have to rebuild /usr. So, question, is my trying to tar from a cd to a tape causing the hard drive requests to time out and kill the drive or is my scsi bus going whacko?

The sio driver no longer probes com3 (or whichever one it was) by default. The only bug that really existed was that the sio driver probed every comport even if it was only supposed to check one.

During boot it tries to load the comand "ifconfig eth0" plus some addresses and such, however the problem is with loading eth0, when this line gets executed the machine spits out the message "unknown interface". Ifconfig works with "ifconfig lo" which is only a loopback comand. I assume that there is a problem either with the eth0 parameter or the card itself, I plopped in a similar card from a BSD system I am running and I recieved the same error.

The tapes look similar (except the obvious size difference) and the basic helical scan technology is the same, but 4mm DAT and 8mm Exabyte are not the same thing. To make things even more confusing, Exabyte now manufactures 4mm DAT drives in addition to their proprietary 8mm models. I've had good experiences using both DAT and 8mm drives for backup. I'd lean towards DAT these days because it is standardized, but I'd still consider an 8mm solution if I needed the higher capacity and speed they provide. -- John McNamee MicroWizards Voice: 702-825-3535 / FAX: 702-825-3443 http://www.microwiz.com From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Aug 1 09:41:51 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id JAA24253 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 1 Aug 1996 09:41:51 -0700 (PDT) Received: from aztec.co.za (aztec.co.za [196.7.70.131]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id JAA24220 for ; Thu, 1 Aug 1996 09:41:45 -0700 (PDT) Received: from EMX.TELKOM400.INCA.ZA [198.54.247.1] by aztec.co.za with smtp (Smail3.1.29.1 #2) id m0um0ml-000asxC; Thu, 1 Aug 96 18:39 EET X400-Received: by /PRMD=TELKOM/ADMD=TELKOM400/C=ZA/; Relayed; Thu, 1 Aug 1996 18:50:32 +0200 X400-Received: by /ADMD=TELKOM400/C=ZA/; converted (ia5 text (2)); Relayed; Thu, 1 Aug 1996 18:42:27 +0200 Date: Thu, 1 Aug 1996 18:42:27 +0200 X400-Originator: DARBY1@X400.telkom400.inca.za X400-Recipients: questions@freebsd.org X400-MTS-Identifier: [/PRMD=TELKOM/ADMD=TELKOM400/C=ZA/;0006000001882978000002] X400-Content-Type: P2-1988 (22) Content-Identifier: 0119114071830524 From: RYAN DARBY Message-ID: <0119114071830524*@MHS> To: ", DDA.RFC-822:questions(a)freebsd.org, P:TELKOM, A:TELKOM400ZA" Subject: It just can't fit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I sent a question a few weeks ago asking how to remove booteasy from my PC. Thank you very much for the help I recieved. I am very grateful. My main problem was that I could not install FreeBSD 2.0.5 from a DOS partition, as my CD-ROM is IDE. I figured out what was wrong : In the online documentation, it says copy the dists\bin and floppies directories to the IDE harddrive, using xcopy /s z:\dists\bin c:\freebsd. However, this copies it all into one c:\freebsd directory. The installation, however, seems to want it as c:\freebsd\bin and freebsd\floppies. Also, I copies kernel to the root of the c:\, with root.flp and boot.flp. I also ran install from the harddrive, not from the CD-ROM. Anyway, it worked, exept : About half way through copying accross during the installation, I run out of space. The online doc says 15M for a minimal installation. I had / at 25M, swap at 5M and /usr at 5M. I have a 40M IDE drive. Is this all big enough? The back of the CD says 60M minimum. What is the real minimum? How can I select only the minimum files to install? Must the whole BIN directory, from AA to C something be installed? Thanks a lot for all your help and time.

If so does the software work on standard computers e.g. Packard > Bell 486 DX2/66? FreeBSD is an operating system, in the same way that DOS, Win95, and OS/2 are operating systems. It, by itself, does make your computer into an "http://www.whatever.com" thing. Things such as "http://www.whatever.com" are call urls (Uniform Resource Locators). All that urls do is specify a place on the Internet to find information, and a way of talking to this place from where you are (a protocal). You can run a webserver on FreeBSD. A webserver is what answers to the "http" protocal. If you connect to the Internet via a PPP link (from an ISP - Internet Service Provider) than you can become something like http://dyna-07.on.sympatico.on.ca Where the dyna-07 part changes everytime you connect to the Internet (via your ISP). For a little more money, you can often buy a static IP address so that the dyna-07 part stays the same everytime you login. This can actually be done with other operating systems, too. The main attraction (to Windows users, anyways) about FreeBSD is that it is a UNIX-type operating system and that it is distributed with full source code available. -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken?

I'm using OS/2's boot manager with the FreeBSD root partition, a primary HPFS OS/2 partition, and an extended partition broken into an HPFS logical drive and a FAT formated logical drive, to pass things between the two OSs. I suspect any of the other boot managers would also work.

There is another approach; I asked the original author to try to create a static-linked a.out version of the Linux program, but he didn't know how to do that. While it's not fair to ask for Linux help here, if some kind volunteer could massage his (very simple) makefile to generate a BSD-compatible Linux executable, I'll send it back to the original author and have him build it on his Linux system.

In practice, however, it seems to ignore the tm_gmtoff field completely. Is this a mktime, a man page, or a reading comprehension bug? :-) Example: #include #include #include main() { struct tm tm; time_t sec; memset(&tm, 0, sizeof(tm)); tm.tm_mday = 1; tm.tm_year = 2; /* replace with 1 and mktime() fails */ sec = mktime(&tm); printf("seconds = %lu -> %s", sec, asctime(gmtime(&sec))); tm.tm_gmtoff = 3600; sec = mktime(&tm); printf("seconds = %lu -> %s", sec, asctime(gmtime(&sec))); } On my machine (in California), I get this output: seconds = 2149079296 -> Wed Jan 1 08:00:00 1902 seconds = 2149079296 -> Wed Jan 1 08:00:00 1902 Also, setting tm_year to 1 causes mktime() to fail.. why?

(The first two generated helpful replies, but unfortunately none of them solved the problem. Thanks everyone!) My situation is this: I am running FreeBSD 2.1.5R (GENERIC kernel) on a 100 MHz Pentium with a Hayes Accura 14.4 modem on COM2. I don't think the modem is the problem, as it runs fine under WinNT/95, and since iijppp aborts well before I get a chance to dial. Upon typing 'ppp' as root to start user ppp, I get the normal series of messages about the ppp version, and then I get: can't find ifindex open_tun: no such file or directory and I am booted back to my own hostname prompt with out ever seeing the ppp shell prompt ("ppp on hostname>"). A few people have suggested that I should put the line "pseudo-device tun 1" in my kernel config and recompile. However, as I stated above, I am booting the GENERIC kernel, which by default since 2.0.5 has this device already (I checked the config file just to be sure). Others have suggested that I make sure that the tun0 device exists in /dev, which I have done and even recreated the device using MAKEDEV, but to no avail. When I first started trying to run user ppp, I didn't have an /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file. Using the mail archives and the handbook, I was able to create one (shown below) but that still didn't help. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get user ppp to run properly? I don't recall having any such problem when I tried running 2.1.0R for a few days just before the release of 2.1.5. Thanks for the help!

Further pointers to related information will be appreciated. The Live Filesystem CD can be used for a great many things. Since it's just like a regular BSD volume, you can mount it and access it like any disk. One thing you can do with it is using the 'lndir' utility, you can make a symlink tree of parts of the source tree. Then the files don't take (much) space on your hard disk; instead you pop in your CD and look at them that way. Also, if you accidentally hose some file, you can just copy it off the CD without having to extract the distribution files.

Hm. Lots. I'd assume that every chipset with a dedicated server would have support. I don't know if the SVGA server is advanced enough to increase the bpp on a generic basis.

Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have been trying for several days to install FreeBSD 2.1 from the Walnut Creek January 1996 DCROM distribution. I have copied the files from the CD to a DOS partition (C:\FREEBSD) as per the manual (Installing and Running FreeBSD by Greg Lehey p39). I have also RTFM and I'm starting from scratch, so there is no data to worry about. As you can see I want to run DOS on one partition and FreeBSD on the other. I have a 1 Gb drive, and I've also followed instructions in the manual for partitioning a large EIDE drive (p27) and a Shared OS Installation (p61) I'm not sure whether I've got a hardware problem, or a problems with the distribution. The hardware setup may be the heart of the problem: specifically the hard disk and controller. So I'll quickly describe it the hardware: IT486SMV motherboard (with 2 VL-Bus slots) with a 1992 AMIBIOS (with automatic disk detection, but no LBA or Large disk support) 486DX2-66 Intel Overdrive processor and 20 Mb RAM Lighting Speed VL-Bus I/O Controller (SIDE jr Pro) with on board BIOS with support for IDE > 528Mb (>1024 cylinders) in either LBA or XCHS modes Western Digital Caviar AC31000 (2100/16/63 1083.8Mb) There is no CDROM drive, which is why I copied the CD files across the network. I noted in the manual that the PROMISE EIDE controller doesn't work with FreeBSD. Perhaps I have found another dud controller card. I partitioned the 1 Gb drive into one DOS partition and then used FIPS to create a second partition. The DOS partition is 400Mb and the FreeBSD is 600Mb. The root partition for FreeBSD should still be within the first 504 Mb -- Yes? During a minimal installation I get: On VTY1 Write failure on transfer! (wrote -1 byte of 10240 bytes) On VTY2 gunzip: stdin: invalid compressed data -- format violated DEBUG: Dummy [default] close called for wd0s1 with fd of 7 DEBUG: Switching back to VTY1 /stand/cpio: premature end of file This happens a short way into the /bin extraction, ie after /bin/chmod The system appears to lockup and reboot :-( When I boot to DOS and try FIPS again I get an error message: Partition Table Corrupt - end partition 1 I'd really appreciate some suggestions on how to proceed from here :-) ============================================================= Dr Dennis Perry tekniche pty ltd Multimedia Database Systems mobile: 0412 173 154 drp@mds.rmit.edu.au http://www.mds.rmit.edu.au/~drp/ "Prediction is always difficult, especially of the future" Niels Bohr was fond of quoting this "old Danish proverb", presumably in Danish (but it's hard to predict).

If you can mount the new disk, you'll have to prepare it manually then either install to it or examine your system and copy over the appropriate files. Again, you won't be able to boot from this controller, since it doesn't have a boot ROM.

However, I did get emacs running from the live file system. First I found the emacs binary on the live file system. I typed "emacs" and got messages about files it could not find. These files are all on the cdrom, but emacs expects to find them not in (for example) /cdrom/local/lib/emacs but in /usr/local/lib/emacs. So I used lndir (e.g., lndir /cdrom/local/lib/emacs /usr/local/lib/emacs) to create shadow directories with symbolic links to the files on the cdrom. With emacs this took several steps, as it quits (with the message you need to solve the problem) as soon as there's something it can't find. I think I had to use lndir three or four times before everything necessary was linked. lndir is on the cdrom as part of X-Windows; you might want to first find it (find /cdrom -name lndir) and copy it to /usr/local/bin. X-Windows is another program you might want to try running from the cdrom if you have really limited space; I haven't done that but I imagine the process would be similar.

Yeah well: I always put it at 0500 or so: just root (which starts up ppp) is able to read it. But then again: there's a security bug in ppp, so you should turn the setuid bit off in /usr/sbin/ppp .

It can differentiate between a normal login (with login:), a fax or even an attempt to use LCP (first thing ppp does). As far as I know, Windows uses PAP.

I'd like to get some input on what might have gone wrong. TIA To refresh your memories, I had recently installed 2.1.0-RELEASE, built a new kernel which didn't finish booting because it spun trying to spawn getty's that kept dieing. I had to hit reset to reboot with the GENERIC kernel, fsck failed resulting in the loss of a few files under /usr (which is on a 1G disk of it's own, / /var and swap are on the 1st ide drive). After rebooting with the GENERIC kernel I started getting: vnode_pager_input: I/O read error vm_fault: pager input (probably hardware) error, PID 243 failure pid 243: cc1: uid 0: exited on signal 11 sprinkeled in with some: sd0(aha0:0:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0 Invalid field in CDB errors. I was going to start exploring if the sig 11's were from bad SIMMs but then when booting, fsck never finished due to *** /dev/rsd0s1e BAD SUPERBLOCK: VALUES IN SUPERBLOCK DISAGREE WITH THOSE IN FIRST ALTERNATE pid 13: fsck: uid 0: exited on signal 8 floating exception It was then suggested that I tweak my cache BIOS settings and look for an overheating CPU. Well, I started by trying to see if DOS's himem /testmem:on would find any problem with my RAM, but it didn't. So, I took off the cover, pulled out SIMM's, disabled the CPU's internal and external cache (in the BIOS), rebooting with each change, with no luck, fsck still died from a sig 8. My cpu is a 486DX33 which I don't believe have a history of overheating so the only thing left to do was reformat & reinstall. I used the windoze SCSI utilities that came with the SCSI card and disk to reformat the drive and used M$'s scandisk to check it for any errors: none found. Btw, DOS and Windoze (on my 2nd ide disk) never blinked while all these problems were happening. Granted they don't use the SCSI disk and they don't generally push hardware the same way a unix system will, but it seems worth noting. So I re-installed and compiled a new kernel. Now things seem to be working fine. I'd be exagerating though, if I said I felt confident with the system. I'm genuinely stumped as to what happened. I'm open to suggestions/opinions/whatever. Here's what's different about my system now than before: 1) I changed a few settings in my BIOS. (I found the documentation!) the changed setting are: "AT BUS Clock Selection" from CLKIN/6 to CLKIN/4 and the "Memory Read Wait State from 1 to 0". These are the suggested states for the 33MHz CPU. The rest were left at the default settings. 2) I left out a few config setting that I included on the kernel that seemed to bring my machine down. They are the "AUTO_EOI_2", "DUMMY_NOPS" and "TUNE_1542" options. LINT suggests that they might not work for all hardware. So, would one of, or a combination of these things bring a machine to it's knees? Or should I just write this off as "cosmic rays"? Oh yea, a few short questions: Are there any FreeBSD utilities to check for bad RAM? The documentation for DOS's himem.exe claims to be better than the checking that most motherboards do on startup. Anything like that for FreeBSD? Is there any documentation about BIOS settings specifically for FreeBSD? There are several other BIOS settings that might be tweaked for FreeBSD, any authoritive words on this?

In light of the fact that my Trantor controller in all likelihood will not work for me, I have decided to buy a large EIDE hard drive to attach as slave to my primary IDE controller. I will use this as a backup storage device. I boot from my master EIDE hard drive (IDE controller's BIOS). So the new question becomes: how can I low-level format my EIDE hard drive in such a way that I can maximize backup space for my Win95 and my FreeBSD? I want to only copy *.QIC files from MS-Backup to the Win95 portion and *.tar (or better compressed tar) files to the FreeBSD partition. As always, thanks for the help.

If you can mount the new disk, you'll have to prepare it manually then either install to it or examine your system and copy over the appropriate files. Again, you won't be able to boot from this controller, since it doesn't have a boot ROM.

I installed FreeBSD on the (newly acquired) last disk, using the floppy generated for ATAPI from VIEW.EXE. I requested a booteasy boot manager. When I rebooted, the system said NO ROM BASIC SYSTEM HALTED I can still boot all kinds of things from floppy, though. How does a system start up? First try the floppy, then some things on hard disks that were detected (what exactly), then some internal ROM? Very naively, I would suspect that the MBR has been damaged, so that the system tries that internal ROM and gives an error message for that? I have Windows 3.11 and Windows NT on the first two disks. How can I restore the MBR that previously invoked NTLDR, the ``booteasy'' of Windows NT, if that is a correct analysis? I've read the ``Installing and Running FreeBSD'' manual, but didn't find the answer there.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, Joerg suggest this address for an answer to my question: What DMA channels do you use when you have both an Adaptec 1542C disk controller and a SoundBlaster 16, i.e., is there a standard non-standard place to put 'em? I have searched through the FreeBSD handbooks, and, if I read the FreeBSD handbook correctly, it says to use DMA channel 5 for the Adaptec controller: controller aha0 at isa? port "IO_AHA0" bio irq 11 drq 5 vector ahaintr [for Adaptec 154x] But, the handbook also says to use DMA channel 5 for the SoundBlaster's 16-bit audio: device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 7 conflicts drq 1 vector sbintr SoundBlaster digital audio. Note: If your SoundBlaster is on a different IRQ (such as 5), change irq 7 to, for example, irq 5 and remove the conflicts keyword. Also, you must add the line: options ``SBC_IRQ=5'' device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 5 SoundBlaster 16 digital 16-bit audio. Note: If your SB16 is on a different 16-bit DMA channel (such as 6 or 7), change the drq 5 keyword appropriately, and then add the line: options "SB16_DMA=6" device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330 SoundBlaster 16 MIDI interface. If you have a SoundBlaster 16, you must include this line, or the kernel will not compile. I've already moved the 1542's I/O address (330) to 130 to make way for the SoundBlaster's MIDI at 330. If you have suggested DMA channels that most people use when combinding these two cards, I'd appreciate hearing them.

I didn't install 2.1.5R yet, but this works on almost any O.S. I've tried it on (including 2.1.0R). You don't need any static arp entries or anything. Just define the alias and it should work.

As far as I know, Windows uses PAP. : On the other hand, you can always write a chat script for Win95. I assume : the others have similar capabilities. You could also go the other extreme and have totally seemless connectivity for the win95 clients... the user level ppp code needs a few hacks to negotiate netbios and DNS nameservers but they aren't too difficult. We also rewrote ours to use the passwd file for authentication with PAP rather than the ppp.secrets file. Another neat thing is setting up a samba server, so that your win95 clients can just open up dialup networking, open up some "setup" site you have, and grab all the basic internet client software and/or documentation. To see in action its quite neat, just get one PC + win95 + add phone number then dialup, open network neighbourhood -> setup site, and "copy" down whatever is required (ie a web browser) One stop shop!

The machine is attached to thin Ethernet which in turn is directly connected to the Internet. The computer is running Windows 3.x. In addition the computer has an FTP client and our connection is very fast. How would I go about converting the machine to BSD without a CD drive? In otherwords, is there a way of installing the Boot section while windows is active, and then installing the full system after rebooting from the UNIX boot section? Without a CD Drive, I can't think of alternative ways to accomplish this task. Your assistance is appreciated. Please forward this to any technical expert that can offer advice. Sincerely, David R.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi there ! I am in trouble, and in need of some technical help. I have just purchased a P-166 system with 32 megs RAM, 4 gig Seagate Barracuda Hard drive, an NEC 6X CD-ROM (:502) , an Adaptec 2940W controller card, Wang DAT backup tape,Warning : Message rejected by targer and a 3COM Etherlink III network card. I partitioned the hard drive to use the full disk for FreeBSD, and then went on thru with the complete installation of the O/S. Everything looked good with the install, but when I re-booted the system, all I get is the "F?" . I managed to make a boot floppy using another machine, and cam get the system to boot with that and it automatically goes back into the install mode. The trouble is, I can't get the system to recognize the CD-ROM. When the system boots, the script on the screen finds all of the hardware on the system, but I get the message "Warning : Message rejected by target: 0x1". This message comes up after it tries to initialize the Wang DAT and the hard drive. The *REAL* trouble is that I can not access my CD-ROM. The CDROM is connected to the ADAPTEC 2940W controller card, and it's ID # is 6. When I am booting the system, After the CDROM comes up on the screen, I get a long delay, then I get the message: (ahcd0:6:0) cdrom can't get the size TFS is 1000KByte compiled in MFS And then the install screen appears. When I try to load the software from the CDROM while in the install mode, it tells me that there is no CDROM connected to the system. I have tried installing a minimal setup from floppies, but this always fails too... I'M DESPARATE ! The telephone company is outside right now connecting my 25 pairs of telephone lines and my 56K line, and I'm out of business until I get this figured out. Please reply ASAP and let me know if you can help me or if there is anyone I can contact VIA telephone that may be able to help me. I'm willing to pay a reasonable ammount for the service ! Thanks in advance !

How do I get BootEasy (or any bootmanager for that matter) to boot DOS from my 2nd IDE disk? My 1st IDE drive is all FreeBSD, 2nd is all DOS. Bootting from a DOS floppy works fine. From the booteasy menu: F5 ... DOS gives a never ending list of 040404040404... I only get 3 virtual terminals, Alt-f4 just beeps at me. When I built the kernel, I set it to 4.

Out of curiosity, how did you determine that your RAM was bad, unless there was obvious physical damage. I believe that demaged RAM will cause all sorts of problems, like mysterious signals killing processes and damaging data, but so will software problems. Is there a way to check the integrity of a machines RAM with software?

System: FreeBSD 2.1.5.R Apache 1.1.1 PHP 2.0b3 module SSleay 0.62 module I had the above configuration running great for over a week without any problems. Inexplicably, the server seemed to lose the documents and produce "File not found". The access_log just started producing lots of 404s while the error_log produced lots of "access to /usr/home/fininfo failed for xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, reason: File does not exist". These results were consistent for the root server and two virtual domains. They were also consistent regardless of browser (Lynx,Mosaic,NS,MSIE). One interesting point is that all DocumentRoots were specified as "/home/name/htdocs" (which was where the documents really were). However, the error_log always showed "access to /home/name failed". For some reason the 'htdocs' was left off the error_log. I don't know if this is just a quirk of the logging or perhaps a hint to why things are failing. I checked the following just to make sure nothing had changed from the working configuration: - all file locations, permisssions, etc. - httpd.conf file still pointing to correct places - fsck'd the file system - ok - all system logs (don't think anyone hacked in) - all files could still be read and edited. I also re-compiled the system with only Apache 1.1.1 and no modules and the problem persisted. I even reinstalled 1.0.5 and the problem still persisted! To solve the problem, I copied all the files from the /home/name/htdocs directories into directories in the base apache htdocs directory and modified the httpd.conf file and it worked! I don't know why. Just to re-stress the point: This was a working system; nothing was changed before the problem started. I have also had 1.0.5 running for quite some time without problems. Does anybody have any clues or suggestions to where I should look next? Neil Jensen Habanero Studios Ltd.

Nope, it doesn't. > Should I run -current? Is the pccard support & apm support in > -current stable? It's more stable, but a panic shouldn't occur in either case. However, I have a pretty good idea what is causing the panic (I found the case a couple weeks ago). It's not yet in the -current source tree, although you can use the options 'APM_DSVALUE_BUG' if you want to see if the APM support works on your laptop. The rest of the pccard stuff is still 'work in progress'. I just posted some diffs to the freebsd-mobile list in the last couple days to help merge in the Nomad PCCARD support into FreeBSD, so work is progressing, albeit slowly. If you subscribe to the mobile mailing list you should be 'in-the-know' as things change, as I'm trying to keep folks informed on that mailing list.

You'll have to make two slices, one in FAT and one in FreeBSD. Just configure it like a regular disk.

When I boot it, I get the normal four or five lines of header and usage information followed by the "boot:" prompt. But then about three seconds later, it goes into a loop where it keeps printing ERROR: C:0 H:0 S:0 infinitely. I've got a Dell P100 with nothing special except an additional 1.6GB Western Digital added to the primary EIDE controller. I got a response that my disk could be imperfect or it could be that I'm writing the boot disk on a Win95 computer which will screw it up unless I actually boot from a DOS floppy first. OK, I tried that but then I discovered that even when I wrote the disk using the dd command on an SGI, I still got the same results. I wrote several floppies using several different OSes; always the same result. Also, when I try these same boot disks on another PC, they work just fine. Then I posted to news:comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc and I got a reply from Joerg Wunsch saying: > Basically means your bootstrap cannot read the floppy at all. > > Are you sure the machine's setup (in particular floppy drive setup) is > okay? I'm not really sure how to check this but here's what I did find: When I create a Linux boot floppy I have no problems. When I create a NetBSD boot floppy I have no problems. There's obviously something peculiar about the FreeBSD boot that is causing my computer to choke. What could it be? I went through my bios and I can't find anything that could affect me. What do I do next? I'm really very serious about installing FreeBSD on my PC and I'm not willing to give up yet. I don't even know whether the "ERROR: .." message is being created by my PC or the FreeBSD boot -- and I certainly don't know how to find out. If I could get FreeBSD installed on my PC, I would be more than willing to return the favor in whatever way I'm capable. Even if that means some verification and validation of software mods. Well, I hope to hear back from you soon. Like I said, I'm very willing to put some serious work into this. If only I knew where to start.

I wasn't aware of a ARP_PROXYALL option. The SLIP driver may need to be set up to handle Proxy ARP. I haven't set this up so I wouldn't know. How about using PPP? That is somewhat better documented.

You didn't put the CD in the drive before booting. sysinstall is too stupid at this point to know if you have a CD and are using it, so the CD must be in the drive before the SCSI probe.

Am I missing something. Absolutely! You'll have to add some knowhow, the network connection, and appropriate hardware, but it can be, rather I should say, IS done around the world. Case in point, resnet.uoregon.edu is a throwaway 486 that we converted into our department's Web server and general UNIX box. Total cost: $0. We've added more memory and another disk since then, but we have a fully functional, high-performance box for peanuts. > IF I decide to throw away SCO-UNIX and go with you what do I need and > how much will it cost. You need: A PC with supported hardware. This is the tough part; a bit of oddball PC hardware isn't supported. But it never hurts to try the install floppy and see if it works. The FreeBSD software. You can obtain it from: 1) FREE off the Internet from ftp.freebsd.org. 2) For ~$60 from Walnut Creek CDROM. (be sure to order 2.1.5-RELEASE) Just pop in the install floppy, configure the devices, and select a retrieval method, including from CD, floppies, a DOS slice, or FTP from the Internet or a local machine. After that, a good dose of BSD sysadmin experience, some good books and this list (questions@freebsd.org, main FreeBSD support) should get you going. If you have any other questions just let us know!

How did you add it?

I would run 'chown daemon ircd' (maybe nobody?) to make it setuid daemon instead of root. Running it as root is a security hole (and running it at all probably is too :) ). > I'm trying to fix those problem for one week, and was unable to do it work! > I tryied adding in inetd.conf : > irc stream tcp wait root( tryed others too) /etc/ircd ircd -i That's OK, as long as that's what you're supposed to do to install it (ie, it doesn't run as a standalone daemon like httpd).

RELEASEs are official releases of FreeBSD. Fully built, distributed on CDROM & all normal channels. Rigorously tested. Good for all environments including production systems. SNAPSHOTs are pseudo-RELEASEs; they're built as releases but are not distributed as widely. Could be called 'beta' versions, used to test important improvements, general system stability in a wider context. (Some SNAPs are available on CD too) May contain subtle bugs. CURRENT is where FreeBSD developent stands at that moment. It includes all work committed to the source tree. It is not as well tested as SNAPs, and is subject to problems, sometimes serious.

Actually, if your ethernet card is supported, you can do an FTP install and get the software directly from the Net from ftp.freebsd.org. That's about as easy as it gets, beyond CDROM.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I was wondering if anybody can help me with getting the user PPP program working. I set up all of the options, verified that I can talk to my modem (via the term command), and have had it successfully dial out to the ISP. However, once the connection is made (from term mode), PPP just displays a "<" on a line by itself. It won't respond to any commands other than the "~." and "~P" commands. I can't seem to use any of the TCP/IP programs either such as ping or ftp as they report that they have a DNS lookup failure. Anybody have any ideas on what I can configure or where I can look for more info? Thanks, Leonard P.S. Does anybody know why they call a TCP/IP stack a stack? Why isn't it called a queue as, correct me if I'm wrong, data sent to the stack is send out FIFO.

Thank you for your time, Ray, the would-be hacker (but he can't hack in to his modem ;) samurai@iosys.net From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Aug 3 03:11:47 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id DAA20004 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 3 Aug 1996 03:11:47 -0700 (PDT) Received: from odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de (odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de [139.30.40.28]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id DAA19988 for ; Sat, 3 Aug 1996 03:11:40 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from lkoeller@localhost) by odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de (8.7.5/8.6.9) id MAA28855 for freebsd-questions@freefall.cdrom.com; Sat, 3 Aug 1996 12:11:32 +0200 (MET DST) Date: Sat, 3 Aug 1996 12:11:32 +0200 (MET DST) From: Lars Koeller Message-Id: <199608031011.MAA28855@odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de> To: undisclosed-recipients:; Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Aug 3 03:18:01 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id DAA20548 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 3 Aug 1996 03:18:01 -0700 (PDT) Received: from odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de (odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de [139.30.40.28]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id DAA20533 for ; Sat, 3 Aug 1996 03:17:54 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from lkoeller@localhost) by odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de (8.7.5/8.6.9) id MAA28902 for freebsd-questions@freefall.cdrom.com; Sat, 3 Aug 1996 12:17:51 +0200 (MET DST) Date: Sat, 3 Aug 1996 12:17:51 +0200 (MET DST) From: Lars Koeller Message-Id: <199608031017.MAA28902@odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de> To: undisclosed-recipients:; Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Aug 3 05:01:17 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id FAA00733 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 3 Aug 1996 05:01:17 -0700 (PDT) Received: from odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de (odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de [139.30.40.28]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id FAA00721 for ; Sat, 3 Aug 1996 05:01:05 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from lkoeller@localhost) by odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de (8.7.5/8.7.3) id OAA01165 for freebsd-questions@freefall.cdrom.com; Sat, 3 Aug 1996 14:00:56 +0200 (MET DST) Date: Sat, 3 Aug 1996 14:00:56 +0200 (MET DST) From: Lars Koeller Message-Id: <199608031200.OAA01165@odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de> X-Face: nLQGe[[K51[{{[C\,BiQm[7]u1m{N>_\%nLBo4t@)CoZ}hK[W7DwX&V=}Wf#Qb,j:Jpj[(12r=b~:dYmh]fDf\, ]_frt6eM; Sat, 3 Aug 1996 05:05:44 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from lkoeller@localhost) by odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de (8.7.5/8.7.3) id OAA01190 for freebsd-questions@freefall.cdrom.com; Sat, 3 Aug 1996 14:05:40 +0200 (MET DST) Date: Sat, 3 Aug 1996 14:05:40 +0200 (MET DST) From: Lars Koeller Message-Id: <199608031205.OAA01190@odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de> X-Face: nLQGe[[K51[{{[C\,BiQm[7]u1m{N>_\%nLBo4t@)CoZ}hK[W7DwX&V=}Wf#Qb,j:Jpj[(12r=b~:dYmh]fDf\, ]_frt6eM; Sat, 3 Aug 1996 05:09:38 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from lkoeller@localhost) by odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de (8.7.5/8.7.3) id OAA01218 for freebsd-questions@freefall.cdrom.com; Sat, 3 Aug 1996 14:09:35 +0200 (MET DST) Date: Sat, 3 Aug 1996 14:09:35 +0200 (MET DST) From: Lars Koeller Message-Id: <199608031209.OAA01218@odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de> X-Face: nLQGe[[K51[{{[C\,BiQm[7]u1m{N>_\%nLBo4t@)CoZ}hK[W7DwX&V=}Wf#Qb,j:Jpj[(12r=b~:dYmh]fDf\, ]_frt6eM; Sat, 3 Aug 1996 06:32:14 -0700 (PDT) Received: from kimiko.tcguy.net (buxton-11.ime.net [206.231.148.140]) by ime.net (8.7.4/8.6.12) with SMTP id JAA08177; Sat, 3 Aug 1996 09:32:08 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <320354FB.7690@ime.net> Date: Sat, 03 Aug 1996 09:32:43 -0400 From: Gary Chrysler Reply-To: tcg@ime.net Organization: The Computer Guy X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0b6 (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Rich Bornhofer CC: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: what about us atypical types?

Do to some conflicts with some video cards 2.1.5-Release does not probe the sio2,sio3 ports. (com3,com4). To get installed via modem you will need to temporarly move your modem to either sio0 or sio1. (com1, com2). Beware of conflicts when moving the modem. ie: disable the current port at the address you choose. -Enjoy Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improve America's Knowledge... Share yours The Borg...

This happened several times on me as well. A search in the questions-list archive for 'Help! Permission denied' Should result in that disscussion.. I wound up setting: dirs to 755, files to 644 with: cd / chmod 755 /usr chmod 755 /usr/home cd /usr/home find . -type d | xargs chmod 755 find . -type f | xargs chmod 644 Then did the few like .rhost by hand to 600.

At the ':' prompt one can enter ex commands as vi(1) says: " : Execute an ex command Under ISC-Unix 2.2 the vi(1) man-page references the ex(1) page which says: " ex States " Command Normal and initial state. Input prompted for " by :. Your line kill character cancels a " partial command. " " Insert Entered by a, i, or c. Arbitrary text may be " entered. Insert state normally is ter- " minated by a line having only "." on it, or, " abnormally, with an interrupt. " " Visual Entered by typing vi; terminated by typing Q " or ^\ (control-\). And, as everybody knows, Unix is a very portable system. :-) I think this should go into the F-BSD vi/ex man page.

I don't need the Win95 machine to be accessible to the outside world. I've actually done this before from Win95 to Win95 via Wingate, which basically allows you to share the Internet connection over a network with one dial-up account and one IP address.

The Win95 box's only outbound connection is via Ethernet to the FreeBSD box. So I guess what I'm looking for is some instruction (or pointer to where I can find directions) on how to setup/where to get one of the above, and how to set TCP/IP up to make use of this on the Win95 box.

If you copy the kermit directory on the cdrom to your hard drive with cp -R /cdrom/ports/comms/kermit /usr/ports/kermit and then type make in the kermit directory that has Makefile, the ftp to Columbia University will succeed--at least it did for me.

Well, once the connection is made to your ISP, you (presumably) have to log in somehow and allow PPP packet mode to start. How does your ISP authenticate you? (PAP/CHAP, some login chat...) How is your ppp.conf set up to handle the login sequence? Please respond with the above stuff, and I'll help if I can. > > Thanks, > > Leonard > > P.S.

Network protocols are organised in sets of layers, the lowest being the network hardware, and higher layers piling on abstraction. See 'UNIX Network Programming' by Stevens for a description of several well- known protocol stacks.

No, but I can describe the process. 1) Backup /etc to somewhere safe. 2) Make & boot the 2.1.5 boot floppy. 3) At the menu, select the "upgrade" option. 4) Follow the prompts, mounting and not newfsing your existing partitions. 5) Take note of which /etc files couldn't be converted. 6) At the prompt, copy back services from your backup etc directory, and merge your sysconfig as appropriate. The best way to upgrade sysconfig imho is to print out your old one and just re-fill in the new one with the old info. 7) Reboot, build a new kernel, install, reboot again, be happy. ;) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Aug 3 14:20:31 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id OAA15774 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 3 Aug 1996 14:20:31 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (cisco-ts12-line13.uoregon.edu [128.223.150.145]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id OAA15764 for ; Sat, 3 Aug 1996 14:20:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id OAA03250; Sat, 3 Aug 1996 14:20:42 -0700 (PDT) Date: Sat, 3 Aug 1996 14:20:42 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: Gary Chrysler cc: "Neil C.

In a small drawing it looks like that: network<--->FBSD-A <--ppp--> FBSD-B <---ethernet--> FBSD-C Machine FBSD-A is at work, FBSD-B and FBSD-C are at home. FBSD-B can see FBSD-A and the network through the arpproxy feature of ppp. FBSD-C cannot see the network, even if it get an IP address on the same network as FBSD-A. Any clue... Thanks.

Usually the BIOS doesn't complain when the floppy isn't bootable; it just jumps over to the hard disk. Try using a brand-new, error free floppy and re-write the image. If you are using Win95, dig out your old DOS boot floppy and run rawrite under that. Win95 interferes with the floppy drive enough to mess up rawrite.

Just disabling the offending port won't remove it's IRQ interference from the system. Redefine com4 using your system's BIOS to use a unique interrupt. If that's not possible, then reconnect the device on com4 to use com2 or 1. > Every time i go to the alt+f3 screen, i try things like set phone, set > dial atdt, or some other junk.. even just 'term' right away, and i get > NO response from my modem. *sigh* Try doing 'show modem' and see what the device is set to. It should be '/dev/cuaa3' for COM4 (sio3). If it's wrong, then use 'set device /dev/cuaa3' to right it. > i refuse to move my modem.. there has to be a way to get through.. I doubt it. Anything above COM3 (sio2) is nonstandard in the IBM AT specs, and if freeBSD doesn't like sio3, then FreeBSD doesn't like sio3.

Greetings, I had similar difficulties when I tried to do what you were doing on a large SCSI disk. I don't know if this will help you or not, but here's how I got around it.... (The root FBSD partition needs to be below 1024 cyls) 1)Created 20M / partition as the 'first' partition. 2)Created 800M partition for DOS / Win95 as the 'second' partition. 3)Remaining disk space was used for /usr & /var. Hope this helps.

Latest NetBSD install floppy won't boot, but the slackware floppy does (haven't gone any farther with it to see if it will use the disk or not yet though). I am guessing that I do not have the card set for IRQ5 and the required memory range, if it is selectable, as there are a number of jumpers on the board that may as well be unlabled. Anyone have a pointer to the docs for this board? Anyone have similar trouble and get around it?

Rasins" Subject: Floppy install problems with distributions Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Yes, I like the floppy install ;-). (My only choice, really). I had 2.1.0R working just fine and decided to upgrade to 2.1.5R. After a couple of bad starts, I thought I had figured out the _new_ floppy handling process. For 2.1.0R, I chose Novice install, and after inserting the first diskette with the bin distribution on it, the process continued to prompt me for additional bin diskettes until all were installed. Then, based on my selection of distributions, the process asked me for another distribution diskette containing at least the .aa file. This continued until all selected distributions were installed. Very nice. The 2.1.5R release has chosen to use the .inf file. I'm o.k. with that. I have not seen any documentation on how to handle the new way, other than the exchange of helpful messages here, of which I too have contributed. So I figured out that the .inf file needed to be on the first diskette with the .aa file. After the first attempt, I then realized that the diskette containing the last .?? file of the distribution needed to at least contain the .inf file of the next distribution that you wanted to install. If not, the upgrade process would stop and complain that the remaining distributions I had selected could not be installed, most likely due to the fact they were not on the media. Duh! So, I thought, "I've got it now", always plan such that the next distribution's .inf file is on the same diskette as the final file of the current distribution being installed. Well, I made it through bin, manpages, info, and then poof! The upgrade process stopped, complaining that the remaining distributions could not be found! Yet the proflibs distribution (at least the .inf file) was on the same diskette as the final info file. So I gave up starting over and let the process finish. Now, I have looked through the FAQ and handbook, and I have even run sysinstall, to see how I might complete the installation/upgrading of the remaining distributions (proflibs, src, des, doc, and X), but can't find anything (am I going blind?). Any help or guidance would sure be appreciated. And as I get better at FreeBSD, I will continue to contribute help here where I can, and might even be willing to assist on improving the floppy installation portion of the documentation!! Thank you in advance for any and all help. Great system and thank you to all of you who have worked so hard at making FreeBSD what it is today.

The program also indicates that it has PFC as an LCP option (although I'm not too sure exactly what that means). The ISP also runs VJ compression over the link. I was able to finally get the link working ok from PPP (the parity was set wrong), but unfortunately I still can't get my conf file to auto-dial for me. The system also doesn't seem to be able to find the DNS. I looked in the host.conf file, but can't seem to find a place to put the IP address. What I would like to try to get setup is have PPP dialup whenever a packet needs to be sent out over the internet from a program such as ping or ftp. My ppp.conf and ppp.linkup files are below. They are mainly derived from the samples.

I found that Netscape doesn't ftp the boot disk correctly (even though I held down control to tell it to just save the file instead of displaying it). After FTPing the disk image with another FTP client, it worked fine.

Some books and the guide in /usr/share/doc/usd (who would know it's there, or that one can read it with zmore?) are better, but still caught up in describing 82 motion commands etc. etc. etc. All the information is there (probably right on the hard drive) but it's difficult to decipher as it relates to a specific task. And these tasks are pretty obvious--how to enter text, delete text, cut and paste, copy text, find text, format text, export text to another file, import a file (or a portion thereof), search and replace, spell-check the text, save changes, exit, exit without savings changes, and (especially important with vi) recover from errors--like typing :a and not having the escape key or the arrow keys work as expected; or typing ??? and having the arrow keys turn into delete or repeat keys. Plus a few pointers on *major* motion commands, special features, how to write and execute a macro, how to exit temporarily to the command line (shell)...how to do footnotes (?), or what vi won't do. I think referencing the ex man page and expecting people to figure out whether the commands they're using are vi commands or ex commands is .... well, maybe just unrealistic. I would not have bothered to write this reply were it not that people who learn Unix really ought to learn vi, since it is the universal Unix text editor; pico seems to be a poor little thing by comparison; and one can hardly expect a new user to learn emacs just to edit a few files in /etc. So vi seems more or less inevitable, and it really deserves a task-oriented three or four pages. Actually I like vi, and I've figured out how to make it do most of the listed tasks. Annelise > Robert Eckardt (
