Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Greetings, I'm new to FreeBSD and UN*X in general. I'm installing on a machine configured with: Hardware: 486dx 33 Master drive : 340mb Western Dig Caviar Slave drive : 540mb Western Dig Caviar (I know, doesn't show much imagination) Mitsumi 2x CD-ROM with Mitsumi-compatible controller 8 Meg ram Colorado 250mb Jumbo tape drive Software: Windows For Workgroups 3.11 on the 340mb drive I was attempting to install FreeBSD on the 540mb drive. I plan to use approx 300mb of the 540mb drive as my FreeBSD partition/slice. I followed the directions for using the slave drive as the boot drive. I get to the point where I am booting successfully from the 540 drive, but I get a "panic" message saying it can't mount the root directory. I've tried the install process several times. It seems that after I reboot the configuration doesn't 'remember' my mount points, including (unfortunately) the root and swap mounts. Any suggestions? I'm still looking (please don't flame me for this, but I'm employed as a Microsoft Solution Provider) since I don't believe in giving up. But if you have any useful things to chase down...

Without any input from me, the floppy comes up with "OK it looks like your configuration is incomplete ..." or something similar, and proceeds to FORMAT THE HARD DISK!! I go spastic and start banging keys and yelling, finally resetting when nothing seems to stop the monster. So the first part of the disk is history (I hope I am correct in assuming that the format starts with the first cylinder and works inward?), but the rest of the disk should be OK. In particualar, my /usr partition, which starts about 45 meg in, should be fine (please, please...). The problem is that I can't find that scrap of paper where I wrote down the partition info, so, My questions: How can I reconstruct a disklabel? Is the disklabel/partition info stashed in some other well-known location on disk? Do superblocks know about there own partition? Other partitions? How can I locate a superblock --- do they have some kind of magic cookie that I could scan for? Any and all help will be hugely appreciated!! Thanks Alan Alan D.

Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I have been having a problem using the SYSV messages facility in 2.0R. The permission bits in msg_perm.mode seem to be ignored and accordingly only the queue owner can write to the queue regardless of the bits. My application uses a database server owned by root but which grants access to ordinary user clients to write to its message queue. As it is now under FBSD, only root can run the client programs. The same program runs all right on SUNOS and SCO. The Sun man pages state, in effect, that any user should be able to write to a queue if its owner (creator) sets msg_perm.mode to 0666. I have examined Daniel Boulet's implementation. (I do not understand (yet) how the functions are transformed from two and three parameters in the declaration to three and four in the implementation.) I noticed msgget masks the requested permission mask, msgflg with & 0700 which, I believe, eliminates the group and other permissions and leaves only the owner bits. msgctl(qid, IPC_STAT) also allows only the queue owner to access queue information. Am I correct, this is a bug?

I wrote it when I accidentally trashed my disk label on a two partition drive and couldn't bear the thought of hours of spinning tapes to get it back. Two lessons - be careful when labeling disks and print out your labels (or at least store them on other drives). As long as your label is fairly simple you should be able to find the partitions. Look for "hits" 16 blocks apart. Here is the label on one of my drives: > 8 partitions: > # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] > a: 65536 0 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 0 - 31) > b: 65536 65536 swap # (Cyl. 32 - 63) > c: 586764 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 286) > d: 586764 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 286) > e: 455692 131072 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 64 - 286) And here is some of the output from findfs. This is around the two partitions starting at 0 and 131072. Each "hit" is a superblock: > hda.com# ./findfs /dev/rsd0c 0 100 > Checked block 0 > !!! Hit at 16 !!! > 16 > !!! Hit at 32 !!! > 32 > hda.com# ./findfs /dev/rsd0c 131000 132000 > Checked block 131072 > !!! Hit at 131088 !!! > 131088 > !!! Hit at 131104 !!! > 131104 > hda.com# Note that the first superblock "hit" will be 16 blocks beyond the start of the partition and there will always be an alternate superblock (another hit) 16 later. That is a good signature for the start of a partition.

I am installing onto a second disk that is a SCSI (bt0) unit. I am allocating this entire disk to FreeBSD. I wrote the boot record to wd0 as recommended in the 'trouble' entry. When I boot, I get the screen: F1 .... DOS F5 .... Disk 2 Regardless of what key I press, the boot always comes from DOS on the ide drive. (drive 2 is marked as bootable). I tried booting the floppy, when it asked for the boot device I entered 'hd(1,0)/kernel' as directed. The boot started up from drive 2, probed the buses, and then said it was rebooting in 15 seconds. When this reboot took place, up came DOS (I had no chance to intervene.). Is this the code in \tools\dos_tool\srcs\bteasy ? (ps. the INSTALL doc typos the path with 'dos-tool'. I am suspending installation until I can clear this. Is it possible to make up a file that could be put on a boot floppy that simply transfers the boot to drive 2 or whatever?

I wrote something very similar that has allowed me to recover the usr partition. root appears to be trashed however, unless ... One more question: I notice that your root partition above is at offset 0; the freebsd2 installation assigned an offset of 32 to the trashed disk and an offset of 91 to my new disk. Where do these numbers come from? Can I be sure that the '32' is correct? It seems that that would cause trouble if wrong, but only with the root partition? The superblock doesn't seem to know about this. My root partition is trashed so badly that fsck dumps core; should this happen? Thanks, Alan Alan D.

It is available by anonymous FTP from somewhere (I knew I should have written that down). It is an updated version of the standard text mode CD controller. If you need it, E-Mail me and I will post it out to you. The one thing that you will need to make sure about is that you have changed the device that gets opened from '/dev/[s]cd0d' to '/dev/mcd0d'.

I lied before. sysinstall really isn't a good thing to run again for further installation. What you need to do is simply run extract.sh in the *dist you're interested in.

Making use of BPF, CAP can run on FreeBSD box in native EtherTalk (Phase 1). It worked for me with FreeBSD 1.1, and presumably with 2.0 as well which I don't test actually. Unfortunately, CAP on BPF had a performance problem. I know that some guys were working to solve this problem. I hope their work is incorporated into the CAP official patch. ============================================================================== Motonori Shindou Carnegie Mellon University SCS Graduate Student e-mail: moto@cs.cmu.edu, NiftyServe: GEG04056 WWW: http://www.cs.cmu.edu:8001:/afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/moto/WWW/moto-home.html TEL: 412-362-9636 FAX: 412-362-9634 ============================================================================== From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Dec 27 04:43:56 1994 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id EAA12838 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 27 Dec 1994 04:43:56 -0800 Received: from mail04.mail.aol.com (mail04.mail.aol.com [152.163.172.53]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with SMTP id MAA12832 for ; Tue, 27 Dec 1994 12:43:50 GMT From: PrfDJ@aol.com Received: by mail04.mail.aol.com (1.38.193.5/16.2) id AA06167; Tue, 27 Dec 1994 07:39:41 -0500 Date: Tue, 27 Dec 1994 07:39:41 -0500 Message-Id: <941227073937_7990444@aol.com> To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: uninstalling freeBSD Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I would like help if possible.

The undocument "fdisk /mbr" under DOS does the trick to remove the boot manager. The DOS must be new enough to know that, so DOS from 5.0 upward should know that.

What type of floppy controller and what machine is this ? Can you tell us more about that ? In the moment the only thing that comes to my mind is either your memory is not okay, then this will happen. The first thing is a memory test and if this fails it will simply reset the machine and then reboot again, reset , reboot ... Or the floppy controller gives troubles and doesn't read enough sectors in, so the boot program doesn't even find a correct kernel and runs wild.

I have only seen such errors, if you specify to much blocks for a SCSI disk. Double check the maximum number of sectors that FreeBSD shows you with the documentation of the disk. If you don't have documentation simply try to make the maximum number of cylinders smaller. Some SCSI disks reports the the user usable sectors and some reports all sectors on the disk back. But most disks reserve some cylinders for internal use for holding parts of their microcode on them instead of the eprom and for some other housekeeping. So the user writable/usable sectors and cylinders are always smaller than the total amount of cylinders on the drive. The datasheets also mostly tell you something like total sectors and user-usable sectors or something alike. And if you are using a too high sector number the drive refuses to write on his own reserved sectors, hopefully :-).

I think it has an IDE controller on the system board, which may control the floppies, but I am not using it for the hard disk. It has an Ultrastor 14f SCSI controller and 1.2 GB SCSI drive and a SCSI CDROM. It has the 2 serial/ 2 parallel port card it came with, and an ATI graphics ultra pro video card. I put in an ethernet card, its an Intel, I think it's called an EtherExpress 16 or something like that. It's the card that came with the Windows for workgroups 3.1 upgrade kit.

Assuming /proc is the mounted proc filesystem the "files" are infos about processes. This is used for debugging processes and for getting statistics about processes. "w" and "ps" uses it. And it should not fill up the partition, if it does it, something is setup wrong on your machine. You will get some info about it with a "man procfs" :-).

I'm trying to get FreeBSD 2.0 installed and configured on my system. I'm almost there, but I have a few problems remaining. Note that I am installing from the CDROM from Walnut Creek. 1. I'm trying to install the boot records correctly so that I can boot msdos and freebsd from the harddisk, but I can't seem to find a configuration that works. I have 3 SCSI disks attached to my Adaptec 1542CF, and here is how I have them set up: disk 0 is a 1.7GB disk totally dedicated to freebsd. I have set up this disk with one fdisk partition holding the whole disk, and this partition is split into /, swap, /usr, and /user. This setup works great to boot freebsd. disk 1 is a 200meg disk with msdos 6.2 on it. disk 2 is a 1.7 GB disk split between msdos and freebsd (3 fdisk partitions are msdos, and 1 fdisk is a single freebsd partition I use for extra storage space) Now, if I set my adaptec to have disk 0 ignore the bios scan, it will boot dos correctly. If I tell disk 0 to NOT ignore the bios scan it booted freebsd. This was rather annoying, so I tried to install the boot menu on disk 0. Now it offers me a menu of freebsd or "disk 2". So, I select freebsd, and it just reboots the machine from scratch. If I select disk 2, it comes back with a "missing operating system" which just isn't true. I checked the FAQ before installing, and it mentioned that the mapping of disk > 1GB didn't work correctly, so it has been off during the entire install procedure. I am just about at the end of things I know to try, so I'm mailing to this list. Any suggestions? Note that this machine previously had a different unix on it, and I installed the boot menu on disk 1, and told disk 0 to ignore the bios scan. Thus dos wouldn't even know about disk 0, and the boot menu just told disk 0 to boot directly. I'd prefer this method the most, but when I used the floppy to boot sd(0,a)/kernel with disk 0 ignoring the bios scan, it gave me a rather bizarre error. 2. I also trying to set up my slip connection using startslip. I read the slip.FAQ, but it appearently uses seyon or kermit to initiate the connection to the other modem, and then uses slattach. This method works for me, but it requires that I be at home and start up the connection by hand. I'd rather use startslip to start it from my /etc/rc file on bootup. The slip.FAQ doesn't even mention this program, so I assume it was written before this program existed. I've played extensively with startslip, because it had some poor assumptions about what the login prompt would look like from the host computer, but it still has some remaining problems, and I believe they are related to the fact that the tty my modem is on is not in clocal mode by default. When I run kermit and set my tty to the one my modem is on, I can execute startslip and it will dial the remote host, and connect the slip connect correctly. However, if I just use startslip alone, it hangs when trying to open the tty with my modem on it. stty -a tells me the only difference is that kermit puts the tty in clocal mode. So I tried setting clocal via stty, and that doesn't appear to do anything. I also tried changing startslip to open the port nonblocking. This gives me a valid file descriptor, but doesn't actually allow me to read or write to the port. I would prefer just to set that port to clocal by default if that's possible. If not, can someone tell me how to do it from startslip similar to the way kermit must do it? (I couldn't find this code in kermit) 3. Finally, I'm trying to set up my printcap to print to my Deskjet 560c printer. I don't have my printcap entry available right now, but I'm pretty sure it's set up correct (I had an example to work from.) The problem is that when I lpr a file, takes the file does nothing. No error is printed in the printer log, and no error is given to stderr. I'm using the apsfilter script to preprocess the file for my printer, and I suspect that may be the problem. However, when I send a file to this script by itself, and redirect the output to my parallel port device, it seems to print just fine. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? If you'd like to see the printcap, I'll email it tonight when I get home. Wow, this got long. :) Thanks in advance for any help.

Anyhoo, could some kind soul please tell me if there are any problems currently with routing through a PPP connection using FreeBSD 2.0 SNAP? The details are as follows: A. 1.1.5.1 486 DX2/66 on ethernet network in my office running pppd, routed -g -s, and options GATEWAY in the kernel. B. 2.0 SNAP 486 DX/50 connected to above machine via ppp like. running pppd, routed -g -s, and options GATEWAY in the kernel. It looks kinda like this: [A]<-----PPP------>[B] | 14.4 kbps | / \ [C] [D] thin subnet thinet subnet xxx.xxx.31.0 xxx.xxx.37.0 | [T1] 1. Machines B and D can communicate great on the 37 subnet. 2. Machines A and C can communicate wonderfully on the 31 subnet. 3 However, machine D can't talk to machine C very well at all. [But...] If I kill routed on machine C, flush the routing tables and then restart routed, the .37 subnet shows up on the routing tables (netstat -r), and machine D can talk to machine C, however, after about 3 minutes or so the route is deleted and machine D can no longer talk to machine C. During all this, however, machines D can always communicate with machine A. Ok, now that I've confused everyone in the universe, can someone figure out why this doesn't seem to work? Thanks for just reading to this point, you're a saint if you do.

Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi folks, I got a freebe used-disk and put it in my system. Everything worked during the disklabel & newfs parts. Now however, I am having problems with moving the source tree onto the new disk. Yep, I'm using tar. After untaring for a good long while, the kernel consistently panics with the following message: > ahb0: board not responding > Debugger ("aba1742") called. > panic: panic for historical reasons. .... some more of the same.... Could this because by the kernel writing onto a bad sector? "Historical reasons" doesn't give me much to go on. If I do have bad sectors, how do I mark them. bad144 complains about a bad magic pack number and there is no man page. thanks, Adrian adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| Support your local programmer, http://uvacs.cs.virginia.edu/~atf3r/ --->>>| STOP Software Patent Abuses NOW!

First thing to change is the ECHO=echo line to a ECHO=printf line. Second thing, search for the calls of "pr". It uses the "-f" in these calls, but the FreeBSD 2.0 pr only knows a "-F" flag instead. And the last is is the "-o $INDENT". If you don't need it trhow it simply out of apsfilter. It gets a default of 0 for this, but pr doesn't like a "pr -o 0" and gives only an error message for that. I am just asking in our internal list, if i can relax the posix conformance for pr for these annoying features :-). Also you may need to convert a normal ascii file from a Linefeed only file to a Cariage Return/Linefeed file before printing. I have achieved that with a pipe of the "pr" output to: " | awk 'ORS=\r\n" { print } ' And if i now would only find out, why the Canon BJ10e driver in ghostscript uses slightly wrong paper-sizes and looses some pixels on the edge, i would be completely happy :-).

I want to add a second HD to my system. I've studied the man pages and available docs, and I THINK that I've got it all figured out. I haven't done the install yet as I'm waiting for an IDE cable for the new drive. In the meantime, I thought perhaps you folks could review the steps I'm going to take and let me know if I'm on the wrong track. This doesn't appear in any FAQ that I've found. Here we go: The disk is IDE, it's a Quantum 80AT, capacity 80 MB. 616 cylinders, 16 heads, 17 sectors per track, 512 bytes per sector. I created a new entry in /etc/disktab describing the disk: quan80at|Quantum 80 MB:\ :dt=ST506:ty=winchester:\ :nc#616:ns#17:nt#16:\ :se#512:\ :pe#167552:oe#0:te=4.2BSD:be#8192:fe#1024:\ :pc#167552:oc#0:\ I want to use the entire disk for BSD and so only specified an "e" partition. The "c" partition was defined for everything else if disktab, so I thought I'd better leave it in. After the disk is installed and cabled as "slave" (the first one is "master"), I'm going to do a disklabel on it: # disklabel -w -r /dev/wd1 quan80at Then I'm going to use newfs to create a file system on it. Then I'm going to run an fsck and mount it. Then I'll add it to fstab so that it gets mounted automatically on boot. Have I missed anything?

At that point the booter just tried to read the second block with the help of the bios from the floppy. Can you check, that the floppy types are set correctly in the BIOS ? DOS can work with wrong values in the BIOS, it looks also on the floppies and decides the size from them. But FreeBSD trusts the BIOS values. Another possibility can be a bad floppy, can you also try another floppy ? The floppy must also be error-free to work with UNIX. If a DOS format says anything about bad sectors, use another floppy.

This is the directory where the kernel config file lives. The LINT version contains just about all the important config options with comments. There is a older document from 1.x on the kernel config options that can be retrieved from ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD/docs/options.*. For how to config & build check out the manpage for "config" and possibly the FAQ (recently posted to comp.os.386bsd.announce). cheers, Adrian adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| Support your local programmer, http://uvacs.cs.virginia.edu/~atf3r/ --->>>| STOP Software Patent Abuses NOW!

But FreeBSD trusts the BIOS values. The machine has 2 floppies, one 5.25 and one 3.5. Originally, the 5.25 was A: and the 3.5 was B:. I had to switch them, because OS/2 warp will only boot from 3.5 on A:. According to instructions from Gateway, I swapped the two cable connectors, and then I went into the BIOS setup program and changed them there also. Is it possible that this change does not get recorded in such a way that FreeBSD can find it? > > Another possibility can be a bad floppy, can you also try another > floppy ? The floppy must also be error-free to work with UNIX. If > a DOS format says anything about bad sectors, use another floppy. It is a brand new, preformatted disk. I did not check the formatting, but there were no complaints when I wrote it using the mkflppy script.

I can only mail it to you, here it comes: NOTE! Check that there is no #define EXCLUDE_ lines for the cards you are configuring in the sound/local.h.

If you have SoundBlaster 16, uncomment 2, 1, 6 and 7. (use the same IRQ for the cards 2, 6 and 7. The DMA of the card 2 is the 8 bit one and the DMA of the card 6 is the 16 bit one. the port address of the card 7 is the Midi I/O address of the SB16. If you have GravisUltrasound, uncomment 4 If you have MPU-401, uncomment 5 NOTE: The MPU-401 driver may or may not work, and is unfortunately unverifiable since no one I know has one. If you can test this, please let me know! Also note that you will have to change these settings if your soundcard is set for a non-standard address or IRQ. Please check your documentation (or verify with any provided DOS utilities that may have come with your card) and set the IRQ or address fields accordingly. Also: Some systems with the OPTI chipset will require you to #define BROKEN_BUS_CLOCK in /sys/i386/sound/pas2_card.c. Symptoms are that you will hear a lot of clicking and popping sounds, like a geiger counter, coming out of the PAS even when is not playing anything. Probing problems: Since the SB16 uses the same IRQ and addresses for the different drivers, some of the snd dirvers will not be probed because the kernel thinks there is a conflict. Until a real solution is implemented, to get all the snd drivers to work, immediately return(0) to the haveseen() call in /sys/i386/isa/isa.c on your local copy.

I have an Intel 90 MHz Plato motherboard running AMI BIOS Ver 1.0.10.AX1. The system has 16Meg main memory. A TEAC 4x CD-ROM running off a Sound Blaster 16 sound card. The video card is a #9 GXE-Pro with 2Meg VRAM. The system has both 1.44 and 1.2 floppy drives. No ethernet card is currently installed. I have two WD31000 hard drives. The first is devoted to DOS, and the second is for FREEBSD 2.0. I have the FREE BSD 2.0 CD-ROM which was published in DEC '94 from Walnut Creek CDROM.

I probably shouldn't say anything, since next you'll ask me to tell you how I did it, but I can say that I have done this. Assuming that the subnet uses all valid IP addresses (and not local ones), it's pretty easy.

It is the best way to run UN*X on a PC. For those of us who work on UNIX every day, this is a godsend at home. Thank you. I could use some help setting up XF86 on my system. My Microsoft Bus mouse does not move the cursor under X. I set the protocol to "BusMouse" in the XF86Config file, and set the device to "/dev/tty00". While I do have a node named /dev/tty00, I'm not sure that it represents my mouse. I did some poking around in the man pages and the FAQs and didn't find the answers. So, I did a "cat < /dev/tty00" hoping that I would see some junk when I moved the mouse. Instead, I got the message "device not configured". Not entirely conclusive, ..but convincing enough. So I did a "dmesg" to see if it recognised my mouse. I didn't see anything that resembled a mouse being probed. I think that I may need to build the mse device into the kernel. Do I need to make a new kernel? If I make a new kernel, is "mse" what I should add? Is this a simple case of h/w conflict that doesn't show up under dos/windows? Any help you can provide would be very appreciated.

No, /dev/tty00 is actually the first serial port. You're correct in assuming that you need to recompile your kernel with the mse device. See /sys/i386/conf/LINT for an option line. See also section 6.0 in the latest copy of the FreeBSD FAQ (ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/share/FAQ/FreeBSD.FAQ) as I have, coincidently, just added an entry on kernel configuration. > Is this a simple case of h/w conflict that doesn't show > up under dos/windows? No, it's just that Microsoft Windows has a bus mouse driver and FreeBSD doesn't have one compiled in yet. It's not often used enough to be a default, I guess!

I have finally gotten the box to be able to send/receive emails. However, that is with tweaking one of the S22 rule for rewriting recipient address, ie : # # envelope and header recipient rewriting # S22 # don't touch list:; syntax R$* :; <@> $@ $1 :; R$* < @ $* . > $1 < @ $2 > R$* < @ $j > $1 R<@ $- . UUCP > : $+ $1 ! $2 R<@ $+ > : $+ $1 ! $2 R$* < @ $- . UUCP > $2 ! $1 R$* < @ $+ > $2 ! $1 R$&h ! $+ ! $+ $@ $1 ! $2 R$&h ! $+ $@ $&h ! $1 # The following rule is the one I changed! R$+ $: $Y ! $1 prepend my relay' name # R$+ $: $U ! $1 prepend our name R! $+ $: $k ! $1 in case $U undefined The change I made was to make second last rule to prepend my UUCP relay or smart host to the final recipient adress instead of MY ($U) UUCP name! This file is generated from the following .mc file : divert(-1) include(`../m4/cf.m4') VERSIONID(`@(#)sendmail.mc $Revision: 1.1 $') OSTYPE(bsd4.4)dnl FEATURE(nodns)dnl FEATURE(always_add_domain)dnl MAILER(local)dnl MAILER(smtp)dnl MAILER(uucp)dnl define(`UUCP_RELAY', myrelayuucphost)dnl define(`SMART_HOST', suucp:myrelayuucphost)dnl LOCAL_NET_CONFIG R$* < @ $* . > $* $#smtp $@ $2. $: $1 < @ $2. > $3 # R$* < @ $* .$m. > $* $#smtp $@ $@.$m. $: $1 < @ $2.$m. > $3 # define(`confCHECKPOINT_INTERVAL', 4)dnl define(`confAUTO_REBUILD', True)dnl define(`confFORWARD_PATH', `$z/.forward.$w:$z/.forward')dnl As you can see UUCP_RELAY = SMART_HOST = myrelayuucphost, and after running it through m4, the entire sendmail.cf file is generated, and the above S22 rules are also generated. If I didn't make the changes to that rule above, mails get queued and invokation of uucico spool it to my UUCP smart host : myrelayuucphost, and subsequent invokation of uucico will spool the jobs back to my system since the recipient address has been prepended with my UUCP host name! I experimented with this behaviour a few times, and can see my UUCP host name get accumulated to the recipient address! So, can someone please tell me is something wrong with the above sendmail.mc file ? Oh BTW, I defined my UUCP host name ($U) in the generated sendmail.cf.

First I grabbed the lines out of the LINT configuration file that corresponded to my sound card, and recompiled the kernel. You will have to reboot to get the new kernel to work. Then I went to /dev, and made the sound devices. I think the command is: % ./MAKEDEV snd I'm not 100% sure about the snd, but it something close to that (maybe audio?). Anyway, just look at the MAKEDEV script to find out for sure. Once you've done that, you can this: % cat /path/to/any/sound.au > /dev/audio and the sound card will play it. Note .au files are sun audio files. To play anything else, you'll have to use sox to convert it. To use other capabilities, you'll have to find the music utilities from the network. I haven't got them yet, so I can't tell you what or even where as yet.. :) Good luck.

(1) I don't thing we support formatting of SCSI devices (2) If we did, the Bernoulli drives *lie* and say they are done formatting immediately. A correct implementation would have them ack the format *after* they were in a state to accept further SCSI commands. I've seen problems with a Kawai synthesizer that uses removable SCSI media for patches and so on, whereas it worked fine with a Syquest. (3) The Bernoulli dual drives show up as LUN 0 and 1 on the same SCSI device. This is a potential problem -- I don't think all the SCSI drivers for BSD have been tested to make sure they all work with LUN's.

The problem lies not in the Boot Manager but in the FreeBSD boot loader. You have to modify it to make it load from wd(1,a). I am looking into this one and hope to get a workaround. OTOH, if you replace your Boot Manager with other equivalents, OS/2 ( if you have ) may not boot. I use OSBS from tools/dos-tools directory and put OS/2 Boot Manager in it as an boot item.

Thanks. I did see this, but all other Unix systems I have tried go to matherr. In fact, this has to do with software (Tcl) that is ported to virtually every Unix platform. In all of those implementations, either matherr or returning a NAN (not-a-number) value is used to report the error. I have seen the port of Tcl on ftp.freebsd.org, it does a fpsetmask(0) to prevent the exception, but then the errors are not reported back to the Tcl interpreter, instead invalid data is passed back. Since the next release of Tcl is in beta right now, I would like to come up with a solution that can be incorporated into the release. Anyone know anything about this?

FreeBSD finds both of your hard disks. One is 234MB and the other 516MB. wdc1 is not any hard disk; instead, it is hard disk controller. I think you have only one IDE card so you have no problems. > I'm not sure if there is something that I need to reset in the DOS > system setup program or something special I need to do since the > D: disk has over 1024 cylinders.

I have my FreeBSD on a Quantum Maveric 540A too. However, one thing you should pay attention : the DSAP jumper on the 540A, and/or the other jumper on the other one. I connected both hard disks with these jumpers connected. Strangely enough, under DOS everything seems to be fine no matter how I connect these two jumpers. But under FreeBSD, I must connect them right otherwise either I fail to fdisk or disk time- out occurs. (I think they are master/slave jumpers ?) If you still fail to identify 2nd hard during installation, you may want to try another IDE controller card. The old IDE controller cards may have problems when connecting 2 hard disks. That's my experience. Your controller is identified correctly. I have one monterboard on which FreeBSD CANNOT find wdc0 and wdc1, which I still fail to make it work. -- Yen-Wei Liu (ywliu@beta.wsl.sinica.edu.tw) From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Dec 29 22:58:47 1994 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id WAA14271 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 29 Dec 1994 22:58:47 -0800 Received: from lirmm.lirmm.fr (lirmm.lirmm.fr [193.49.104.10]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with ESMTP id WAA14265 for ; Thu, 29 Dec 1994 22:58:45 -0800 Received: from lirmm.fr (baobab.lirmm.fr [193.49.106.14]) by lirmm.lirmm.fr (8.6.9/8.6.4) with ESMTP id HAA24922 for ; Fri, 30 Dec 1994 07:59:30 +0100 Message-Id: <199412300659.HAA24922@lirmm.lirmm.fr> To: freebsd-questions@freefall.cdrom.com Subject: Re: Boot Manager Prob?

I don't now if it is the same as you. But I am also using bteasy coming with FreeBSD. The two cohabits well. First I boot from bteasy, then if I choose slice 1 (F1), I boot on OS/2 Boot Manager. I must do that because OS/2 Warp is installed on an extended dos partition which is not recognize by bteasy. Therefore FreeBSD partition is not recognize by OS/2 Boot Manager.

Fix likely problems first: you are setting up nameservice and then trying to use it over a (possibly) incompletely configured link. Change the "route add" to something like route add default 129.38.252.50 (or correct IP of needed gateway...) and you can use netstat -r -n to peek at things before the nameserver is available over the network link.... If this still breaks, you're in a better position to determine what's what. ...

How does it respond > to a Test Unit Ready while it is formatting? Actually, it says "busy". This *is* the trick. I would have preferred they use a vendor private SCSI command for the format that keeps on going, though... I supposed one might handle it by setting a bit in the driver when a format command is issued, causing a TUR to be issued prior to any further commands. I don't know if it takes both LUNs offline in a two drive situation (almost all dual Bernoulli's are dual LUNs at the same target), so this may be a problem (or it may not). The test will have to be limited to the particular target or the particular target plus LUN, depending. That's actually a lot of state, but I don't think it would be worth traversing a queue of formatting devices when a command is registered, since it would up the expense for everyone else. Better to keep flag bits for everything. Anyway, it's an issue that needs to be dealt with at the generic SCSI level, but like the scanner code, may end up being dependent on some potentially non-existant features being present in the underlying card/card-driver.

Clearly the better way is through the use of matherr as in SunOS. -Feisal From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Dec 30 12:40:52 1994 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id MAA00394 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 30 Dec 1994 12:40:52 -0800 Received: from gvr.win.tue.nl (root@gvr.win.tue.nl [131.155.210.19]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with ESMTP id MAA00388 for ; Fri, 30 Dec 1994 12:40:49 -0800 Received: by gvr.win.tue.nl (8.6.9/1.53) id UAA10613; Fri, 30 Dec 1994 20:59:42 +0100 From: guido@gvr.win.tue.nl (Guido van Rooij) Message-Id: <199412301959.UAA10613@gvr.win.tue.nl> Subject: Re: /etc/fbtab under 2.0 Release To: olson@cs.odu.edu (Michael Olson) Date: Fri, 30 Dec 1994 20:59:42 +0100 (MET) Cc: FreeBSD-Questions@freefall.cdrom.com In-Reply-To: from "Michael Olson" at Dec 29, 94 01:24:20 am X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 269 Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Michael Olson wrote: > > > Question, I inquired once about using fbtab to automatically change the > permissions of the console and audio device to the user on ttyv0.

Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I just discovered that "ls -l" reports the creation date incorrectly on symlinks. It reports as the creation date of each symlink, the modification time of its directory. Thus, if I "touch foo" in some directory, a subsequent "ls -l" will report the identical creation time for both foo and all the symlinks in the directory. Therefore, "ls -lt" will position all the symlinks at the top. I created a perl script, using the "stat" function to report all 3 dates, atime, mtime and ctime; it correctly reports those times, in contradiction to the mtime reported by "ls -l". I had previously noted that all directories in a MSDOSFS tree carry as their creation date, the current moment. Somebody suggested that this was a capricious choice, in view of the impossibility of duplicating the creation date which DOS would report. I wonder if there is a link between these two bugs.

Hmm.. I wonder what Tcl does under BSD on the VAX? The man page would imply that either it hasn't been ported there, or doesn't work. I would change Tcl to catch the SIGFPE and check errno. Also, I wonder what the Sun libm does... it may act differently than the BSD version. If so, you could link Tcl with that libm instead. > > Anyone know anything about this? > > Mark > - Just a suggestion - - Dave Rivers - From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Dec 30 13:28:18 1994 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id NAA01126 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 30 Dec 1994 13:28:18 -0800 Received: from Root.COM (implode.Root.COM [198.145.90.1]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with ESMTP id NAA01101; Fri, 30 Dec 1994 13:26:42 -0800 Received: from corbin.Root.COM (corbin.Root.COM [198.145.90.18]) by Root.COM (8.6.8/8.6.5) with ESMTP id NAA07586; Fri, 30 Dec 1994 13:26:27 -0800 Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by corbin.Root.COM (8.6.9/8.6.5) with SMTP id NAA07659; Fri, 30 Dec 1994 13:27:51 -0800 Message-Id: <199412302127.NAA07659@corbin.Root.COM> X-Authentication-Warning: corbin.Root.COM: Host localhost didn't use HELO protocol To: Chuck Bacon cc: freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org, freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Why does ls report wrong creation date on symlinks?

None whatsoever. The POSIX definition of symbolic links is written to allow them to be directory entries, and the 4.4 code simulates this. All the traditional ``inode'' values of symbolic links are ignored, and system calls always return the values from the parent directory. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

UNIX and UNIX like OS's (and POSIX implementing OS's, for that matter) don't keep an absolute file creation time. They keep a change time (file metadata -- "stat information" -- has changed), a modification time (file contents have changed), and an access time (a read operation has occurred on the file). What you are seeing is not a creation date, unless you are directly accessing the file system directory blocks in the DOS FS. Instead, depending on your options to 'ls', you are seeing one of the dates the is reported in a POSIX compliant FS, but which DOS does not maintain (the modification time). The DOS FS doesn't have this information to give back to you, so it makes something up -- the most convenient thing being the current time. It is precisely the fact that a DOS file system can not store all of the date information required by POSIX that makes it impossible to produce a POSIX compliant DOS file system. The DOS FS simply can not comply with the POSIX "shall mark for update" and "shall update" directives. POSIX leaves a loophole, allowing read-only media to ignore the update requirements -- so you can be technically compliant if you mount the disk read-only. Very useful. 8-). Whether the made up information comes from some date that DOS supports or from the current time or from wherever is really at the programmers option, since the thing will never conform to an existing standard for doing such things (there *is* no such standard). You can optionally use '-c' or '-u' as arguments to 'ls' to get at date information DOS does store.

In other contexts (e.g., for lstat() and ls), the attributes have to be taken from somewhere else. In BSD-4.4, there are no longer any relevant attributes in the inode of the symlink and the attributes of the parent directory are used instead. See `man 7 symlink'.

Sorry to correct yo Jordan, but the Mitsumi/Soundblaster combination should work. It has worked once, i have done my testing mostly with the Soundblaster and not the Mitsumi private controller once. That is missing is the Sony and the Panasonic ( aka. Soundblaster CDROM ) drive on the Soundblaster Card. > > 2.

The necessary driver and info is in the kernel. This expects the Adresses and Interrupts on the default place on the soundblaster. Adress 0x340 and IRQ 11. If it is not working, than somebody has broken some code and i would like to know it to test it again.

I have a 300MB DOS partition at the beginning of the drive, and when trying to install FreeBSD 2.0-941222-SNAP on the rest of the drive I get a newfs timeout on /usr. The hardware geometry of the drive (as reported by the FreeBSD boot process) is 1120 cyls, 59 sectors and 16 heads. The DOS fdisk and pfdisk programs report a geometry of 523,63,32 (which I assume to be the BIOS translation). When I boot FreeBSD it gives me a wd warning that it can't handle 32 heads and that it is setting the controller to 16 heads. When I get into the FreeBSD fdisk program the reported geometry is 1048,63,16 (which must be yet another translation it performed when resetting the controller to 16 heads ?). Thereafter no matter what I do in the way of disklabelling I always get a wd timeout during newfs on /usr (the last partition on the drive). The error message contains "cn 522 sn 63 tn 31" or something very similar, and it suggests to me that it is trying to access blocks that just aren't there. I'm just about to give up on this - but any explanation of what's happening would be well received.

Which library is this? From a quick look at the source, the libm on the system comes from the usr/src/lib/msun directory, and it has the problem. There is also a usr/src/lib/libm directory, from glancing at the source, it prechecks arguments before executing the floating point instructions.

Those should work as well (as long as FreeBSD is maintaining BSDi compatibility. Until then, I developed a 'OS neutral' set of rules for a generic BBS sort of pseudo-menuing thing while I was in college. The rules are pretty simple. 1. List everything that doesn't have a '.' as the first character. 2. Have the user type in enough of the name to make it unique (or the first occurence will be used, or an error; specific behaviour is up to the programmer). 3. If the entry is a directory, 'cd' to it. 4. If the entry is a program, run it. 5. If the file is a text file, 'cat' it. 6. Pause for a 'continue' of some kind. 7. Go to 1. The only tricky part is making sure that there is an 'exit' and a 'cd ..' funtion implemented in each directory. If you would rather, you can include these in code. The whole thing took about 25 lines of 'sh' script. I didn't keep a copy of it, but it was really easy to implement. Most of the work (surprisingly enough) was done in the design phase. We even figured out that if you use the file permissions, you can do things like limit the user based on groups, or have everyone's E-Mail stored together in one place. As your needs expand and more and more stuff is required, you can expand the basic suite of requirements by adding more programs (or links thereto) and increase the capability without changing the basic nature of the system.

The compile continues though. Oh, I've tried to compile GENERIC, GENERICAH and GENERICBT with the ft and pas drivers enabled. Now, the kernel I get boots, but every time I try to run top or vmstat, I get a floating point exception and it craps out. AND, the lpt0 driver seems to be having fits. When I try to use either lpr or copy directly to /dev/lpt0 using the rebuilt kernel, it prints a few characters then stops for 10 seconds, prints a few more characters, stops, etc. For what it's worth, the GENERIC kernal that's installed from the CDROM runs just fine, except I want the pro audio studio sound support. Any ideas? Mark
