I am trying to install FreeBSD 2.0 on a TI4000 DX2/50 Notebook. It has 8 megs of ram and a 200 meg hard drive. I also have the docking station, which has an Adaptec SCSI card, NEC 2X cdrom, Fujitsu 540MB HD (SCSI of course). I also have an Sound Blaster AWE32. It might seem to many that my problem is the docking station, however the same problem seems to exist if I use the notebook undocked as well. hmmmm ... I seem to have neglected to tell you my problem ... ok I put in the first disk for cd installation and it cranks away and finds everything, all my hardware that is .... :-) ... something linux only wishes it could do ..... BUT then after stating it is going to switch the size of the 'd' partition it just sits there. It is not locked because if I remove the disk it claims that it cannot mount the root partition and reboots the machine. once again I get this problem whether or not I am docked .... please help !!!!! I am frustrated ... thanks, James Wallace jwallace@morpheus.hartford.edu From owner-freebsd-install Mon Feb 20 14:31:40 1995 Return-Path: install-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id OAA14790 for install-outgoing; Mon, 20 Feb 1995 14:31:40 -0800 Received: from prosun.first.gmd.de (prosun.first.gmd.de [192.35.150.136]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with SMTP id OAA14687; Mon, 20 Feb 1995 14:29:37 -0800 Received: from g386bsd.first.gmd.de by prosun.first.gmd.de (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA20698; Mon, 20 Feb 95 23:28:39 +0100 Received: by g386bsd.first.gmd.de (XAA00367); Mon, 20 Feb 1995 23:30:46 +0059 From: Andreas Schulz Message-Id: <199502202231.XAA00367@g386bsd.first.gmd.de> Subject: Re: installing troubles To: jwallace@hartford.edu (Jamie Wallace) Date: Mon, 20 Feb 1995 23:30:46 +0059 (MET) Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org, freebsd-install@FreeBSD.org In-Reply-To: <9502202201.AA09538@hartford.edu> from "Jamie Wallace" at Feb 20, 95 05:01:18 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 861 Sender: install-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > megs of ram and a 200 meg hard drive.

I really don't know at the moment where it says something like that :-). Is the size for the hard drive correct and do you also have a DOS partition on it or are you trying to install FreeBSD only on the disk ?

UNIX doesn't like saving power ;) Actually, what happens is that since there are no requests going out the BIOS for a while, the computer shuts down the drive and stuff and BSD does not know to turn them on. There may be more to your problem, but I think this is a pretty good guess. Buy lots of extra batteries for your laptop ;) -Louis ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Louis J. Giliberto, Jr. !

Software: FreeBSD 2.0R (the CD has January 1994 printed on it :-) CDROM from Walnut creek. Installed a shadow directory tree of the /cdrom/filesys/usr/src tree with the cd-link utility from the cdrom (Directory tree with soft links to files on the CDROM). Have patched this tree up to FreeBSD 2.0-950210-SNAP. All this to save disk space. Problem: Make world does not install the files, but rather the links into /usr/share/FAQ, and /usr/share/examples/lkm and probably some more places. Got som errors during install into /usr/share/examples/lkm (Sorry, did not save them). I would like the contents of the files to be copied during installation rather than the soft link. Another suggestion would be that the source tree part of the SNAP was in some form of patch format. This would enable some of us to have the source tree installed, do our own hacking, and have a current version without having a lot of disk space allocated for the source. OK, ok, if I want it then why don't I write it myself... Thanks for a great job! I really enjoy my CDROM now! /Kent Kent Palmkvist Internet: kentp@isy.liu.se Dept. of Electrical Engineering http://allvis.isy.liu.se Linköping University 58183 LINKÖPING phone: +4613281347 Sweden fax: +4613139282
