If you are running with FreeBSD 1.x, you can use a "iijppp" for dial-on-demand.(ftp://ftp.iij.ad.jp/pub/network/iij-ppp/iij-ppp0.93. tar.gz). And for FreeBSD 2.x users, We've already port them and we will/would like to put on -current tree soon. -----------------------------README----------------------------------------- README for User Process PPP For Version 0.93 package Oct. 15th 1994 Toshiharu OHNO tony-o@iij.ad.jp INTRODUCTION This is user process PPP software package. Normally, PPP is implemented as a part of kernel and hard to debug and/or modify its behavior. However, in this implementation, PPP is implemented as a user process with the help of tunnel device driver. Major Features o Runs under BSDI-1.1 and FreeBSD-1.1. Patch for NeXTSTEP 3.2 is also available on the net. o Provide interactive user interface. Using its command mode, user can easily enter commands to establish the connection with the peer, check the status of connection, and close the connection. o Supports both of manual and automatic dialing. Interactive mode has ``term'' command which enables you to talk to your modem directory. When your modem is connected to the peer, and it starts to speak PPP, PPP software detects it and turns into packet mode automatically. Once you have convinced how to connect with the peer, you can write chat script to define necessary dialing and login procedure for later convenience. o Supports on-demand dialup capability. By using auto mode, PPP program will act as a daemon and wait for the packet send to the peer. Once packet is found, daemon automatically dials and establish the connection. o Supports idle timer capability. If no packet activity is found certain amount of time, PPP automatically close the connection to save connection fee. Line monitoring function is available, too. PPP can automatically checks whether if peer is alive (by sending LQR or LCP echo), and if there is no response from the peer, PPP determines that peer has dead and close the connection. o Can act as server which accept incoming PPP connection. o Supports PAP and CHAP authentification. o Supports packet filtering. User can define three kinds of filters; ifilter for incoming packet, ofilter for outgoing packet and dfilter to define dialing trigger packet. o Tunnel driver supports bpf. That is, user can use tcpdump to check packet flow over the PPP link. o Supports PPP over TCP capability. o Supports IETF draft Predictor-1 compression. --------------------------------End of Readme------------------------------ Atsushi. -- Atsushi Murai Email : amurai@spec.co.jp SPEC Voice : +81-3-3833-5341 System Planning and Engineering Corp.

Atsushi-san, this is fantastic! We've needed this for a LONG time. How easy is the software to set up? If we could do something at system installation time, it would also be very useful! This is the kind of feature most users will want to configure right away (if not immediately for the purpose of installing FreeBSD over ppp!) and I would like to offer it in at least one of the installation menus. Who are you working with on the commit list to get the changes merged back into -current?

But unfortunatlly, Tex papers is written Japanese. Indeed, I just porting it to my 2.1-depvelpment last weekend. And I report it to author and asking to deliver to 2.1-development tree.

I am considering getting a system I have up and running with FreeBSD which has has the NCR53c810 SCSI controller integrated on the motherboard. Is there any support for this particular controller with FreeBSD? (i.e. I really don't want to have to buy another SCSI controller...) Thank you, Zhenya.

I'm currently running into several problems, which so far has left me with a network that's unusable. Mainly, I'm having problems with installing even the base package and getting controllers (both SCSI and Ethernet) to function properly. The system I'm currently having troubles with is a Pentium 90 (Plato P54c/PCI) motherboard. It has a PCI-SC200 controller which is the NCR53C810 chipset which is on the supported list. The ethernet controller is a 3com 3c509 also on the supported list. So far I have not been able to get the PCI SCSI controller setup with a bootable partition. Invaribly the setup fails when it starts to map out superblocks on the disk. I've tried using a 200 meg HD split into a 20 meg root, 32 meg swap, and the rest as /usr. When I did this I got past the superblock, but upon rebooting the system was unable to boot off the HD (yes I but a boot manager block on it). A 4 gig drive so far has been unusable as the superblock mapping fails everytime upon startup, doesn't even get to the point of printing block numbers. Deciding it was probably something strange with the PCI controller I went out and picked up an IDE drive and popped that into my on board IDE PCI controller. After figuring that that boot slice for FreeBSD must start with something other then 1 I finally at least got the system to boot with the IDE/HD combo. However, when I boot into the packages install and specify an NFS machine (which is still on linux, running named, and working fine) I get an error message that appears as if the ethernet card is having problems getting out on the net. The card is plugged into a concentrator, and I see the port blinking periodically, but never a consistent 'turned on' light like the other systems that are connected to it do. Finally I get an error message with something about unable to obtain host_ip and mount_NFS failing. If I drop down into a shell, setup the ethernet port with the proper values, the light on the concentrator still does not go on (it's not an activity light, it's a connection established light). I'm unable to ping any of the other machines, though the light does blink a few times when I start the ping. So now it looks like the ethernet board is also having problems. Both the SCSI PCI, and the 3com board are on the supported lists, they both appear in the autoconfiguration on startup with values that are normal defaults and seenby FreeBSD, but for the life of me I have no idea what's going on. A 2 hour install from what my friend told me it took for him to go from linux->freeBSD has turned into a weekend of confusion. I know these boards are fine as they worked with linux. Where should I go from here? Any ideas? I have the latest kernal boot disks and cpio. I've also tried the CDROM distribution. Both give me the same results. One other thing that seems odd. Everytime I reboot I get a different MHz rating for my Pentium 90. I've seen it fluxuate from as low as 71 Mhz to 90 Mhz in the report. What gives with this???? Any help or response that can get me beyond this initial hump and allow me to get to work with restoring my network would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

There are two problems you may be running into here. The controller may be using some kind of extended translation that you need to tell FreeBSD about (I don't have an NCR, so I can't say more) and, in the case of the 4gig drive, you need to give newfs different parameters to handle such a large drive. The first problem was known about for 2.0R, but there was not enough time to handle it gracefully, but hopefully it will make 2.1. For you to manually handle the problem, you must know the geometry your controller wants, and use the G)eometry option in the Fdisk phase to tell FreeBSD. Problem two was an oversight for 2.0R, and I think that there may even be code in the new sysinstall to do this properly. Jordan or phk will know for sure, but my guess is that this will be fixed for the next snapshot. > Deciding it was probably something strange with the PCI controller > I went out and picked up an IDE drive and popped that into my > on board IDE PCI controller.

Okay, the problem you have here is that you need to specify the "link2" flag in /etc/hostname.ep0 (it is a flag to ifconfig). This is assuming that you have a 10base-10 or thicknet installation.

I would ask some questions about FreeBSD 2.0R. I have installed FreeBSD 2.0-RELEASE which works good. In README file of FreeBSD 2.0-950112-SNAP I found interesting new features and information about the fixed bugs. In this connection some questions: 1. Is it possible to upgrade my current version of FreeBSD or I must to make new installation for SNAP version? 2. Can I change for example only kernel of the system? 3. What will happen with my already installed packeges and applications in this case? 4. Also I have installed gcc-2.6.3. Must I reinstall after changing from 2.0-RELEASE to 2.0-SNAP version? 5. How I can configure IDE CD-ROM on my machine? I will very thankfull for informaion.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I posted this question a week ago and didn't get any answers, so I'm posting it again... I'm bringing FreeBSD V2.0 with XFree86 V3.1 up on an ISA based 486-66 with an ATI VGA Wonder XL card (1Mb memory). I'm trying to use the XF86_SVGA server. Unfortunately, the server only seems to be able to find the 75Mhz clock. The xf86config program generates all BUT the clocks. When I install the clocks (I used several sets; the original ones that worked under V2.1.1 and some supplied from another user) I am unable to get a coherent screen (the screen is white with vertical bars running through it. It does not scroll.) The clock values seem to work fine for the VGA16 server, but nothing seems to work for the SVGA server. I did search through my archives of the FreeBSD mailing lists as well as the last few months worth of comp.os.386bsd.* and comp.windows.x.i386unix without much success. I've seen about a dozen people posting with the same problem, but I don't see any responses. I also posted mail to the xfree86 mailing list; also with no response. Anyone out there actually have a working XFree86 V3.1 + ATI VGA Wonder XL (or any other ATI VGA Wonder variant) combination out there?

I don't believe that any IDE CD-ROM's are supported yet. Wasn't somebody working on this? Good luck!

Let me preface the questions by saying that the 2.0R works excellent here on my machine. I did the entire installation over the internet and it was wonderful. The only problem I have with 2.0R is that I have been unsuccessful in getting a dial-in (into FreeBSD) slip or ppp connection going and that's why I want to try the SNAP release. 1) How the heck do I upgrade? Please be kind I looked for an upgade doc. Do I need to create floppies again? Can I use the sysinstall utility from a running 2.0R system? (That is really Question 1 2 & 3) 4) Is this a release stable, my 2.0R system is currently acting as a news server, WWW server, and email gateway. BTW this is on a 386/20 with 10mg's of RAM and 1.2gb of IDE disk(s). Wonderful!!! 5) Were there bug fixes to pppd or slipattach or the tty drivers? Thanks!

The first hard drive is taken up by an MS-DOS partition, while the second drive I just added to the machine today. I first used MS-DOS's fdisk to create a DOS partition on the new drive and formatted it for DOS just to verify that it worked. Then I booted from my FreeBSD boot disk which I created with rawrite.exe. Following the instructions in the TROUBLESHOOTING doc, I used the FreeBSD boot disk's fdisk to write a boot manager to the first (MS-DOS) hard drive so I could pick which OS to boot from when I powered up. Then I exited from fdisk and went back in and selected the second hard drive; here I deleted the MS-DOS slice, specified to use the entire disk for FreeBSD, and wrote an MBR to disk. I then went into the second utility to create partitions for root (/) (25 megs), swap (64 megs, anticipating future RAM upgrade), and for /usr (the remaining amount on the hard disk). (The root partition was at the beginning, so I don't think there would be a problem with it exceeding the max size the system could recognize). I then wrote this and went on to "Proceed"; at this point it said it was writing various things to the disk and finally told me to reboot to start from the hard disk (at which point I expected I'd use cpio to bring in the bindist files). When I rebooted, the boot manager from the first hard drive came up and asked if I wanted F1 DOS or F5 other drive. I chose F5. Now, at the "Boot:" prompt, per the instructions in the TROUBLESHOOTING doc I entered "hd(1,a)/kernel". Various status messages came up as it went through the boot routine and located various devices. Finally it said "panic: cannot mount root" and said it would automatically reboot in 15 seconds. I rechecked things a couple of times, rerunning the fdisk and the partition editing, to no avail. I did notice one strange message when I was trying to use the boot manager to switch to the second hard drive and boot. After picking F5 for other drive and entering "hd(1,a)/kernel)" at the "Boot:" prompt, I noticed that it gave a status message of "Booting wd(0,a)/kernel @ 0x100000". Now, I plead guilty to newbiedom, but if I entered "hd(1,a)/kernel", shouldn't it say it's booting from wd(1,a), not wd(0,a)? Thanks for any help -- I'm looking forward to trying out FreeBSD.

There has been at least one fix to the ppp driver code, but the SLIP code has been relatively stable. More importantly, there have been changes to the tty/clist code which should hopefully make it better able to cope with SLIP/PPP traffic in general. -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jan 31 00:43:21 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id AAA09386 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 31 Jan 1995 00:43:21 -0800 Received: from shell1.best.com (rcarter@shell1.best.com [204.156.128.10]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with ESMTP id AAA09375; Tue, 31 Jan 1995 00:43:15 -0800 Received: (rcarter@localhost) by shell1.best.com (8.6.9/8.6.5) id AAA20024; Tue, 31 Jan 1995 00:42:49 -0801 Date: Tue, 31 Jan 1995 00:42:49 -0801 From: Russell Carter Message-Id: <199501310843.AAA20024@shell1.best.com> To: jkh@FreeBSD.org, questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: Sigh.. :-) Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk It was a *royal* pain in the ass for me to connect--I just basically stumbled on the right combo for my site, but does it work beautifully!

I had two main reasons for switching: First, I wanted to learn the "bsd way" of doing things. I was looking for experience with a bsd unix so that I could learn about the different ways as compared to SVR4 (which I ran for a couple years, Esix and Unixware), and Linux. FreeBSD seems to be fulfilling that goal for me. Secondly, I had gotten disenchanted with some of the little niggling problems with Linux's networking code, and had heard that FreeBSD had the best networking code of all, bar none. I am certainly NOT finding that to be the case! For _ME_, on _MY_ machine, FreeBSD's networking code has been very disappointing and troublesome. EXAMPLE - Networking -------------------- The "sup" program... I get an average of about 16cps on sup transfers from FreeBSD.ORG. That's right, SIXTEEN CPS. It takes so long to do a sup that it isn't even a practical alternative for me. Half the time the connection times out and can't even be made, and the rest of the time the sup transfers just stop for some reason. I let sup run for about 20 hours yesterday and it succeeded in updating only through /usr/src/etc. I finally aborted it. Using ncftp, I get about the same transfer speeds from that site, although other sites seem to be OK (1.5KB/sec... we're on a SLIP). Ping times and traceroutes look normal between here and FreeBSD.ORG. I have no idea what's wrong. And, at the same time, I can telnet to my roommate's Linux machine and get very good transfer speeds using ncftp from the same site, through the same slip connection. So I doubt it's network connections between our slip and FreeBSD.ORG. Example - HARDWARE SUPPORT -------------------------- Toshiba 3101 CDROM Drive: I have an older Toshiba CDROM drive. It's a 3101, and it worked fine for me under Linux, both as a data drive and as an audio cd player. I spent several hours trying to get it working under FreeBSD with both xcdplayer and with xmcd (which worked GREAT for me under Linux). I finally found a file somewhere in the source tree a file that had a comment to the effect that scsi-1 cdroms are not supported in audio play mode. So, it looks as if I am going to have to replace what has been a perfectly adequate cdrom if I want audio cd support under FreeBSD. I guess I can live with that, but I'll probably just have to do without audio cd support because I really can't afford to replace a perfectly good drive right now. Limitations like this really ought to be better documented in the FAQs. I certainly couldn't find any information describing this problem in any of the FAQs, which I read prior to switching over to FreeBSD. Archive Viper 150: FreeBSD seems to feel it necessary to insult my choice of tape drive by telling me that my drive, which has worked FINE under DOS, OS/2, Unixware, and Linux, is "a known rogue", every time I boot the system. It may be a "known rogue" as far as FreeBSD is concerned (it's given me no end of problems under FreeBSD), but it was as reliable as a stone axe under those other operating systems. Why can't FreeBSD deal with it? EXAMPLE - XWindows ------------------ Common programs such as "xload" periodically blow up and exit with a floating point exception error. I've been through the xload code with a fine tooth comb, and finally got it to compile absolutely clean with the gcc -Wall switch, but it STILL blows up. I don't think the problem is with xload, but with FreeBSD. SUMMARY ------- Since I can't sup, I am now in the process of ftp'ing the source tree for current from FreeBSD.ORG on my roommate's machine, because I can't do it from here. I'll try building that source tree, but if it doesn't work better than the 2.0-950112-SNAP release I'm currently using, I think I'm going to have to go back to Linux. I don't want to, but I need for the machine to be able to do the things I need it to do, and 2.0-950112-SNAP seems to be falling on its face rather regularly for me. The problems I experienced with Linux were minor compared to the hassles I've been going through with FreeBSD so far. -- Michael Nelson nelson@seahunt.imat.com San Francisco, CA http://www.imat.com/consult.html VOICE: 1-415-621-2608 From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jan 31 09:33:43 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id JAA21960 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 31 Jan 1995 09:33:43 -0800 Received: from mailgate.aixssc.uk.ibm.com (dwarf.aixssc.uk.ibm.com [160.100.240.120]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with SMTP id JAA21954 for ; Tue, 31 Jan 1995 09:33:39 -0800 From: johnb@mailserver.aixssc.uk.ibm.com Received: from killer.aixssc.uk.ibm.com by mailgate.aixssc.uk.ibm.com; Tue, 31 Jan 1995 17:35:42 GMT Received: from blue.aixssc.uk.ibm.com by killer.aixssc.uk.ibm.com; Tue, 31 Jan 1995 17:33:25 GMT Message-Id: <18891.9501311733@blue.aixssc.uk.ibm.com> Subject: FreeBSD installation; can't find /kernel To: freeBSd-questions@FreeBSD.org Date: Tue, 31 Jan 95 17:33:24 GMT X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.3 PL3] Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, Please help me, because I'm reaching the end of my tether on this one. I'm close to giving up ... In summary, I get an error along the lines of "bad disk label: can't find /kernel" when trying to boot/install. Here's what happens :- I have a 486sx with an Ultrastore ESDI disk controller with two ~310Meg disks (low-level formatted) with the following geometry :- 1224 cyls, 36 secs/track, 15 heads I have DOS installed on the first disk (disk 1) and I have written an MBR to that disk so that I can choose which OS to boot. I have been able to use the second disk as a DOS partition with no problems; now I want to install FreeBSD onto it. As recommended in one of you're FAQs, I've used DOS's FDISK to create a DOS slice on the second disk so that I can use the same geometry information. I then boot from the FreeBSD floppy and go into FDISK and delete the DOS slice and then go for U to use the entire space available for FreeBSD and B to write an MBR onto the disk. I then go into Disklabel and assign partition information and mountpoints. When I go for Proceed, the install information is copied to the disk and the machine reboots. I then get a prompt from the MBR on the first disk :- F1 DOS F5 disk2 so I select F5 to goto disk2. Then I get a prompt from the MBR on the second disk :- F1 FreeBSD F5 disk1 so I go for F1. Then I get the FreeBSD boot message and the error along the lines of "bad disk label: can't find /kernel". I try entering "wd(1,a)" but get the same error. During the whole process I've noticed several unusual things that I can't find an explanation for. Maybe they have something to do with my problems? :- - As FreeBSD boots from the floppy, it detects each of my disks (wd0 and wd1) with the correct geometry, but then says that it is changing the size of each from 640080 to 642600 sectors. I don't know where either of these numbers are coming from, and I don't understand why it should be trying to INCREASE the size of the disk? - When I go into the FreeBSD install's FDISK, it thinks that the disk geometry is :- 637 cyls, 63 secs/track, 16 heads (I guess this is in some way related to the information that DOS's FDISK has written to the disk, but once again, I can't see where the numbers come from?) - In FreeBSD Fdisk, despite the fact that the disk geometry at the top says 637 cyls, 63 secs/track, 16 heads, the slice inforation displayed after pressing U to use entire disk for FreeBSD slice 1, shows :- Phys=(c0/h0/s1..c1023/h14/s36) Sector=(0..642599) I've tried all sorts of things including :- - changing the settings for the second disk in my AMI BIOS. - low-level formatting the disk with and without cylinder translation - various disk geometry's in FreeBSD's Fdisk.

[ ... ] > Anyone out there actually have a working XFree86 V3.1 + ATI VGA Wonder XL > (or any other ATI VGA Wonder variant) combination out there? That you didn't get an answer is probably a "no". That the clocks aren't specified is not suprising. You need to engage in a very technical process, so secret it goes by the code name "frobbing". Basically, after doing an (redirect otherwise if not using csh): X -probeonly >& /tmp/f00 You need to put the clocks in an explicit "Clocks" line in your XFree86 config. Then you need to frob the clocks until they match the sync frequencies that your monitor documentation sayd your monitor supports. In other words, this isn't anything to do with the card at all, really, except that the card has default settings for its clocks. Once you have frobbed the clocks, you need to pick mode lines for the desired resoloutions using the frobbed clocks. Unfortunately, a mode line is a real res, a beam on time, a beam off time, and a beam length in the X and the Y. There are also flags on positive vs. negative, etc. syncing of the scan beam. Frobbing the mode line until it works is occasionally a good way to cook your monitor unless you are very quick and only use clocks that the monitor can sync (quick applies to cutting the monitor power). The mode line should be largely unnecessary, but since the monitor sync and the clock setting may be off a bit, you have to adjust for it. This is really your own fault for not being more specific about the clocks (after all, DOS drivers don't have this problem). This is all very annoying; I believe X Inside has simplified the work, but haven't played with their code yet, since I'm still not upgraded.

This is actually explained in the installation documentation. The only problem is that the (unpatched) SVGA server only finds a single clock - 75Mhz.

I recently rebuilt my kernal to add the mse0 driver, for the bus mouse that comes whith the older(3-4yrs) ATI vgawonder cards. The first question is, why do i get the "not probed due to irq conflict...", errors at boot up. Thers a couple of them. I don't think there is actually another device there, theres just extra stuff in the kernal that i didn't understand, so i left it in. Also i don't think that this kernal statement accually did anythig If i do a "cat < /dev/mse0" it just drops me back to the prompt. But if i do "cat < ttyp0" it hangs as though it's waiting. I added "protocol "busMouse" and Device "/dev/mse0" to the XF86Config and when i "startx" i can see the pointer, but can't move it. You have to specify an interrupt in the kernal config file, but how do you know which interrupt?? FreeBSD1.1.5.1 XFree86-3.1 Thanks, Ron Porter -- [-Ron Porter-----------] [-Univ.

A newly developed documentation team has taken over the FAQ writing job, but it is easier to write about the features that we have, as opposed to the ones that we don't :). Suggestion noted, though.

When the disk goes over a certain threshold, it switches from time to space optimization, on the theory that anything that works is better than anything that doesn't -- that is, it is better you don't run out of disk than you be able to read from it as fast as possible. When you drop back below the threshold, plus a watermark, it switches back. Repeating messages like this during an install men that you are close to the watermark and close to the threshold, so you bounce back and forth during the extraction process as it uses then frees large chunks of disk space. It is nothing to worry about; however, if it persists, you will probably want to use the tunefs command to switch over to space permamanently to stop the annoying messages. Practically, this will result in you haveing less frags but sequential access at the ends of large files being slower. There a little more to it than that (clusters will modulate where it hapens -- it isn't only large files), but that's enough to get you to what you need to read to find out more.

Why can't FreeBSD deal with it? FreeBSD can deal with it. The scsi tape driver has a small database (the "rouge gallery") of tape drives that have some small quirk or another. The driver is just informing you at boot time that your tape drive is known to have a quirk and the driver knows how to deal with it. If you want the gory details, take a look in /usr/src/sys/scsi. I will agree that the message could be disconcerting to someone who doesn't know what is going on inside. BTW, what sort of problems are you having? I have a Viper 150 and it works like a charm.

My guess is > that I'm missing some Motif libraries. Is that the case? Assuming a statically linked binary, no. It is just a matter of Mosaic not finding the XKeysymDB file which, on your system, lives in either /usr/X386/lib/X11 or /usr/X11R6/lib/X11. I don't recall for sure and can't verify it at the moment, but suspect that Mosaic might be looking for it in /usr/lib/X11. Try `ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 /usr/lib/X11' and see if that fixes it. > (BTW, I am going to try Netscape. I use it on my Windows machine (please > don't hate me) and it works great.

The documentation project is working on that. However, XFree86 is simply an application thrown in on the CD-ROM (and wcarchive.cdrom.com) and is not directly supported by the FreeBSD project and very little of any XFree86 documentation would be FreeBSD specific anyway.

Just a quick note - the 950112 snapshot was probably the worst 'release' of code that we've ever done. The snapshots were never meant to be 'production' or even necessarily work very well...and the Jan 12 snapshot is a good example of this. The Jan 28 snapshot should be much better behaved, but it is still just a snapshot. I can add that I'm personally working on fixing 6 major kernel bugs that will probably bite everyone at some point if they aren't fixed. It's our goal that 2.1 will be very stable and functional, but 2.1 isn't due out for another 2 months. Considering that we basically 'started over' with 4.4-lite/FreeBSD 2.0, and have only about 4 months of real effort into it, I think we've done an amazing job. If you do finally get the Jan 28 snapshot installed, I might be willing to help troubleshoot some of the problems you're having. Send me a note if you're interested. -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jan 31 19:51:23 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id TAA21644 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 31 Jan 1995 19:51:23 -0800 Received: from seahunt.imat.com (seahunt.imat.COM [140.174.70.10]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with ESMTP id TAA21636 for ; Tue, 31 Jan 1995 19:51:12 -0800 Received: (from nelson@localhost) by seahunt.imat.com (8.6.9/8.6.9) id TAA02279; Tue, 31 Jan 1995 19:48:43 -0800 From: Michael Nelson Message-Id: <199502010348.TAA02279@seahunt.imat.com> Subject: Re: Mosaic problem To: jerryk@indy.net (Jerry Kelley) Date: Tue, 31 Jan 1995 19:48:42 +73600 (PST) Cc: questions@FreeBSD.org Reply-To: nelson@seahunt.imat.com In-Reply-To: <199502010028.AA21500@IndyNet.indy.net> from "Jerry Kelley" at Jan 31, 95 07:28:46 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 816 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Jerry Kelley wrote: > > I'm afraid I already know the answer to this question but I'll ask anyway. > I've fired up Mosaic under XFree86 and when I launch, I get a boatload of > warnings about key translations in the Xterm window where I launched. > Mosaic does run but using the keyboard is almost impossible.

It's > a dedicated slip machine with nothing else going on on it. I ran into the identical problem using a Lunix machine as a gateway; except that my end-host was a Sun IPX running SunOS 4.1.3. FTPs took forever, and when completed often the files were shorter than the originals! We also couldn't get X to run through the Linux box. So... ... we upgraded the Linux kernel to the latest version (from TSX-11). All our problems went away. It appears that the networking code was badly broken and the new kernel fixed it (we were using the Slackware V2.0 distribution as I recall, from the Linux Developer's Kit; this was about 6 months ago?) What kernel version are you running on the Linux box? We're running 1.1.18 on our gateway machine now with no problems. [related topic] One thing that helped dramatically improve the performance of my FreeBSD gateway [we're playing with lots of machines here running lots or OSen to see how different systems do as gateways/routers] was to up the SLIP MTU from 296 to 576 (?). I almost doubled my throughput for FTP transfers, and still don't have horrible response when FTPing and TELNETting at the same time. The 296 MTU was fine in the old days of 2400 baud modems; it don't cut it on 28.8!!

This might have been me. I reported that an AMD 486DX2 didn't work in my mother board in so far that the npx probe hung. Apparently an incompatibility between the AMD chip and my MB (an i486DX2 works just fine). Since the npx probe hangs it's quite obvious if there's a problem ! Gary J.

(I thought this info was in the "Everybody-knows-that" category! :-) Herewith are the procedures I used in a former life to get my dial-in connection running to my local Internet service provider. I'm still using a subset of these scripts to automatically hook up my PPP link at home, but I see in the lists that folks are working on a demand-dial capability, so this may be obsolete by the time you read it. NB: My local service provider uses a combination of Suns (for the terminal-based stuff) and NetBlazers (nice boxes, incidentally) for the actual connection and routing. These scripts only connect to the NetBlazers, which then perform all of the routing from my lowly node to the rest of the world. You may have to tweak the scripts slightly to hook into your local service provider because not all login procedures are created equal. Things to note: I assume that you have a modem installed and configured and the appropriate /dev/~ entries. If you can't fire up `kermit`, do a 'SET LINE xxx', 'CONNECT' and throw "at" commands at the modem then you'll have to dig thru the `sio` man page and the FAQ's to get to this point. I assume that you've built a kernel with options GATEWAY so that the IP routing stuff is enabled. This is not _strictly_ required for these scripts to work, but if you think that FreeBSD is going to gate your local network traffic to the whole-wide-world(tm) without rebuilding the kernel, then think again. I assume that you are using the `pppd` and (and companion `chat`) programs from either 1.1.5 or the latest 2.0 snapshot. (1.0, 1.1 and the initial 2.0 pppd's had problems and I never bothered to sort 'em out.) There are a couple of patches to the 'sio' stuff and the pppd stuff that address the issues of proxy arp and hanging on the cheap SMC dual-16550 UART's, but I haven't applied 'em; if you're a stickler for detail, have at it. This 'FYI' only addresses the issues germane to using FreeBSD as a PPP client; I.E.: I'm not gonna tell you how to set up your FreeBSD box as a dial-in PPP server. (I don't know how!) I do know how to make your FreeBSD box a SLIP host, but that's another story. Ask if you want the straight dope on doing that deed. These scripts work for me. Your mileage may vary. OK. Disclaimers aside, let's get busy. First of all, we'll need to set up the comm & stty params when the system boots. Other than getting SCSI stuff straightened out, this seems to be the biggest headache in FreeBSD-Questions, so here's how I do it. I put the following lines in '/etc/rc.local' so they happen every time the system boots. (I know there's an '/etc/rc.serial', but I confess that I don't understand it, and, anyway, I did this before rc.serial was part of the tree, so live with it. I added the following lines down near the end of '/etc/rc.local': ===== In /etc/rc.local ==== # Add the following lines near the end of /etc/rc.local to set the # comm params for the dial-in and dial-out lines if [ -x /bin/stty ]; then # Set up the PPP async port: comcontrol /dev/ttyd0 dtrwait 100 # may depend on modem # Lock crtscts on, Set speed reasonable for V42bis. /bin/stty -f /dev/ttyid0 crtscts hupcl 57600 /bin/stty -f /dev/ttyld0 crtscts hupcl 57600 /bin/stty -f /dev/cuai00 crtscts hupcl 57600 /bin/stty -f /dev/cual00 crtscts hupcl 57600 echo 'tty*00: initialized @ 57600' fi if [ -x /bin/stty ]; then # Set up the incoming async line. Mostly used for dial-in terminals, # but also appropriate for incoming SLIP clients: comcontrol /dev/ttyd1 dtrwait 100 # may depend on modem # Lock crtscts on, Set speed reasonable for V42bis. /bin/stty -f /dev/ttyid1 crtscts hupcl 57600 /bin/stty -f /dev/ttyld1 crtscts hupcl 57600 /bin/stty -f /dev/cuai01 crtscts hupcl 57600 /bin/stty -f /dev/cual01 crtscts hupcl 57600 echo 'tty*01: initialized @ 57600' fi # To automagically establish the PPP connection, uncomment # the following lines. (Assumes that the `pppup` script exists!) #if [ -f /etc/pppup ]; then # echo 'starting PPP' # rm -rf /var/spool/lock/*cua* # /bin/sh /etc/pppup & #fi # To start the PPP monitor at boot-up, uncomment the following # lines. (Again, the script file must exist!) #if [ -f /etc/ip_monitor ]; then # /bin/sh /etc/ip_monitor & #fi echo 'exit rc.local.' ==================== Now that the I/O port is configured, we need a small script that will bring the link up. I use the 'pppd' and 'chat' programs to do this. Note that in this script you'll have to hard-code your own access ID and password that your Internet service provider has issued to you. the "connect" stuff shown here is appropriate for the NetBlazer, but if you're connecting to something else, like an "Annex" or something, you'll have to tweak the params. Should be intuitive. I call the script '/etc/pppup' and it goes a little somethin' like this: ===== /etc/pppup ==== #!/bin/sh # Start a PPP Connection # Copyright Steven J. Sims SimsS@Infi.Net # Freely distributable with copyright intact. LOCKDIR=/var/spool/lock DEVICE=cua00 SPEED=57600 if [ -f $LOCKDIR/LCK..$DEVICE ] then echo "PPP device is locked - Sorry" exit 1 fi # Fire that puppy up! # Note 1: `pppd` might be in /usr/sbin under FreeBSD 2.x # # Note 2: All of the commands between the "'"'s (where the chat line is) # *must* be on the same line - # # Note 3: The general syntax for the chat "script"ing is: # Send "A", Wait for: "B", Send "C", Wait for "D", etc... # So, we'll send an , # wait for a login prompt ("ogin:") # send our UserID # wait for a password prompt ("assword:") # send our password # wait for a command prompt ("ommand:") # send "ppp" to start the ppp service. # Note 4: Notice the use of the '\' continuation characters.

Now we can establish a connection. So far, so good, but we'd probably like to have an easy way to terminate it. For this purpose, I use a script I call '/etc/pppdown'. It's pretty simple: ===== /etc/pppdown ==== #!/bin/sh # Kill a PPP Connection # Copyright Steven J. Sims SimsS@Infi.Net # Freely distributable with copyright intact. LOCKDIR=/var/spool/lock DEVICE=cua00 SPEED=57600 if [ -f $LOCKDIR/LCK..$DEVICE ]; then rm -rf $LOCKDIR/LCK..$DEVICE fi kill -TERM `ps -ax|grep pppd|grep -v grep|grep -v pppdown|awk '{print $1;}'` echo 'PPP is down' # End of pppdown ==================== That's as simple as it gets for getting the link up and down. When you feel the urge to merge on the Info-Bahn, just run (as 'root' or equivalent) `sh /etc/pppup`. When it's time to hit off-ramp for Gas, Food and Lodging, , run `sh /etc/pppdown`. Simple, huh? On the subject of monitoring the status of the link. I used to use the following procedures to keep a 24-hour link up. Where the system was located, the phone circuits were _really_ bad, and I got tired of the link going down and having to manually kick-start it every couple of hours. Some of the SLIP scripts that I saw going around a few months ago addressed this issue by telling the SLIP software how to re-dial the connection, but I really had no success with SLIP (and I'm a PPP bigot, anyway) so I cobbled up the following hacks to make my system poll the link status and re-initiate the connection whenever it died, often 20-30 times a day! (As an aside, this works better than I had any right to expect; it'll even resume FTP transfers in mid-stream once the line comes back up!) Anyway - assuming that I've started the PPP client, I run the following as a daemon script. It runs every two minutes and checks to see if any traffic has crossed the wire. If not, it assumes that the line is dead, and with a little voodoo majig, brings it back from the dead. (I've found that this method works because *my* service provider sends RIP packets every 30 seconds or so, so there's _always_ something going on across the link. But in any event, I force a one-shot ping to a remote system (on the other side of the PPP link) every 60 seconds just to make sure. Lots of people will point out that this is /way/ overkill, and to them I respectfully reply: "Hey, this works - leave me alone!" :-) One last note before I show you the monitoring script: You _could_ just run this out of '/etc/rc.local' (after setting the stty params for the modem) instead of running the 'pppup' thingy - the only caveat is that the link won't come up until 2 minutes after the system boots because that's the scan interval between checks of the link status; it takes two passes to determine that the link is dead. There's probably a good way to work around this and have one omni-function general purpose script that handles this, but I got this working and moved on to something else...

The log also has the disadvantage of being hard to prune while the 'ip_monitor' script is running, so I created another script (that gets called from `/etc/daily`) that nukes the monitor, rotate the logs, and re-start the monitor just like the 'maillog' logs get rotated. This is entirely optional, but it does help in tracking the daily number of link failures and provides some ammo to shoot at the phone company regarding their cheesy phone lines. Here's what I added to '/etc/daily' to make the ip_cycle script run each day: ===== In /etc/daily ==== # Add this line in /etc/daily to re-cycle the ip_monitor script # every 24 hours.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hey all - here's a question that's been bugging me for a while... I have a HP 35480 DAT drive on my FreeBSD machine which I use for backing up the system. I have yet to come accross a solution to automate this task however. I use dump and so far, every time I've made another backup, I simply insert a fresh (or outdated) tape and dump the contents of all the filesystems on to it. I have not found a way to write a tape mark (other than the 'eof' that st allows you to write) so that I can put multiple backups (level 0, then level 1, 2, etc) on the same tape. The eof doesn't seem to work as a tape mark since I can never find the doggone thing once I've written it. As a result, I have to overwrite the entire tape each time. Now, maybe I'm missing some vital data or am ignorant of something that everyone else knows but me, so enlighten me! :-) Has anyone developed a good system of regularly scheduled, automated backups that don't require you to switch tapes every day? My drive can hold 8 gigs on a 90m tape, and it only needs to back up about 3. Furthermore, there is no point in backing up the same data over and over again, I'd rather back up only what's changed.

However, I think that is the default in a normal kernel and you should be getting a different error. To tell you the truth your configuration is almost the same as mine. The only difference is that my second hard drive is another Maxtor (not a Segate) and that my CD and tape drives are at lower scsi addresses (2 and 3 respectively). So, check your kernel configuration to make sure you have a sd0, sd1, st1, and cd0 defined. If you still have problems, let me know.

The strange thing is that on the drives that don't disklabel, I can still do a newfs on the a & b partitions and mount them and use them. So, I reformated one of the drives with the SCSI controller(sd3) and tried to do a disklabel and it doesn't work and I can't do a newfs now either. So, I am left with a two fragmented drives and one I cant use at all now. Please help me if you can, You're operating system has be very good as a whole and we are quite pleased with it. jcarr@wit.com From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Feb 1 15:57:30 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id PAA06473 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 1 Feb 1995 15:57:30 -0800 Received: from forged.passport.ca (forged.passport.ca [199.246.38.201]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with SMTP id PAA06462 for ; Wed, 1 Feb 1995 15:57:17 -0800 Received: by forged.passport.ca (Smail3.1.29.1 #5) id m0rZov0-0002HeC; Wed, 1 Feb 95 18:57 EST Message-Id: Date: Wed, 1 Feb 95 18:57 EST From: marrano@passport.ca (Mario Marrano) To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: (Fwd) Re: trouble with freebsd v.2 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Forwarding mail by: ats@g386bsd.first.gmd.de () on 1/30/95 9:47:32 PM ------------------- Responding to msg by ats@g386bsd.first.gmd.de (Andreas Schulz) on Mon, 30 Jan 9:52 AM > >> Hope someone can direct me to the right group, in any >case i've >> got a problem installing v.2 onto my 486sx25 with 2 >ide drives, >> 1 scsi drive and scsi cd-rom.

For 1.1.5 you'll have to increase the number of scsi disks in /sys/i386/conf/VIDRAGONS, that is, add something like this: > device sd0 > device sd1 > device sd2 Then "config VIDRAGONS; cd /sys/compile/VIDRAGONS; make depend; make" BUT the bigger mystery to me is why that Toshiba CD rom is coming on line as a type 0 direct access device.

I'm now running into the following problems, if anyone has any comment. I've been installing FreeBSD 2.0 from the January 95 Walnut Creek CD-ROM on the second of two 522-MB hard drives on a 486DX2-66 with 16 MB RAM (the entire second drive is devoted to FreeBSD). 1) Although the bindist and several other items install ok, the XFree86-3.1 install has hung a couple of times on me now. With bindist (~40 megs in size), it does some cksum checking for about three minutes, then the install takes about 15 minutes. When I try to install XFree86-3.1, it does a similar amount of cksum checking (seeing the CD-ROM access light on, plus occasional hard-disk access), then the menu says it's installing, but at this point nothing further happens, no CD-ROM or hard drive access. I thought maybe it took a while, but I gave it well over an hour with no result. Is there a known bug here, or something in what I'm doing? 2) I also wanted to get a few packages like Emacs, which are not in the bininst menu, installed. I gather from some messages on comp.os.386bsd.bugs that pkg_add is the utility to add individual packages. However, I'm having some trouble getting my CD-ROM drive (Mitsumi) mounted. I've tried "/stand/mount_cd9660 /dev/mcd0 /cdrom" and other permutations (/dev/mcd0a, etc) without success. Could someone walk me through what I need to do to mount the CD-ROM drive and install other packages? 3) The troubleshooting doc says that, if I'm booting FreeBSD off my second hard drive, when the boot manager comes up I have to type in "wd(1,a)/kernel" everytime or hack the boot manager code (or wait for FreeBSD 2.1). I don't mind hacking the code, but since I'm still learning Unix, rather than installing all the source and wading through it, I wonder if there is a simple byte I can change on my first hard drive with an MS-DOS utility like Norton Disk Editor. I've used this to look at the boot sector and see various stuff that seems to pertain to the boot manager -- is it possible to say something like, "To change the default boot drive from wd(0,a) to wd(1,a), you change the byte at offset xyz from 0 to 1," or something like that? 4) I notice that if I run a FreeBSD session then shut down, warm- boot and run MS-DOS, there are a couple of peculiarities. First, as Windows starts, I get an error from Soundblaster 16 saying the midiport configuration in system.ini is wrong. Second, my Hayes 144 internal modem doesn't respond to its usual initialization string or dial commands. Both of these are fixed if I power the machine off and on to coldboot, and then start a DOS/Windows session. Is it possible that in its probe of the machine's hardware FreeBSD is writing something out to ports or whatever that is leaving the hardware in a funny state?

It took a little looking through the system configuration for me to figure this one out... I don't have a Mitsumi, but try: mkdir /cdrom /stand/mount_cd9660 /dev/mcd0a /cdrom Then you should be able to use the CD-ROM by referencing the /cdrom tree... for a SCSI I use /dev/cd0a -- so I'm guessing about the device name. >3) The troubleshooting doc says that, if I'm booting FreeBSD >off my second hard drive, when the boot manager comes up I have >to type in "wd(1,a)/kernel" everytime or hack the boot manager >code (or wait for FreeBSD 2.1).

Without specific revisions, I can't tell if you have a broken BIOS or not. You can probably try it and find out for yourself in the time another email exchange would take. If your BIOS id broken, you can replace "unit = (drive & 0x7f);" with "unit = 1;" for your particular install (where you are using the second disk). > 4) I notice that if I run a FreeBSD session then shut down, > warm- boot and run MS-DOS, there are a couple of peculiarities. > First, as Windows starts, I get an error from Soundblaster 16 > saying the midiport configuration in system.ini is wrong. > Second, my Hayes 144 internal modem doesn't respond to its > usual initialization string or dial commands.

I suspect that you have your hardware set up under DOS such that there are conflicting interrupts... so the message is correct: your configuration in system.ini *is* wrong. Since a power off reset clears dynamically stored values, it goes away when you power cycle, until the next time the BSD driver resolves the interrupt conflict for you. The Hayes 144 internal modem is acting funny probably because BSD recognizes it as a 16550 and enables FIFO's. Many BIOS do not know how to get UARTs into a known state in this regard because they are blissfully unaware that it is possible to get better performance of of particular hardware. They are coded to the lowest common denominator. You can verify this by looking at the card probe message during boot. Depending on the configuration of your hardware, you *may* be able to do something about this without building a new kernel. It's possible that the reason the modem isn't reset is because it isn't where the BIOS thinks of as COM1: or COM2:. Rearranging your comm port order could fix this. It's also possible that you can fix it by a jumper or a NVRAM setting on the modem itself (part of the modem setup). The real problem is that the hardware doesn't do a hard reset on the UART (blowing out the FIFO enabling) when the card get a soft reset, and there's a possibility that the card has a jumper or setting to fix this. If all else fails, you can disable the enabling of the FIFO in BSD by following the instructions in the SIO man page and rebuilding your kernel. Note, however, you are working around a bug in your hardware and a bug in your BIOS, *not* a bug in BSD, by doing this. Several internal US Robotics modems are known to not have this problem, but the US Robotics Sportster 14.4 series is known to lock up when it talks to a Rockwell chipset on the other end of the wire, so don't rush out and buy one without test driving it if you decides to replace your Hayes.

Look for the O'Reilly books (especially the 4.4BSD set) at your local bookstore. They're probably the most complete, but they may not be exactly what you're looking for. They have a website with information on thier titles, but the URL eludes me at the moment. I personally don't know of a good introductory text. Someone else will probably be able to help you with that.

It is not FreeBSD specific buts talks about several different UN*X implementations derived from BSD and System V. We are using it in a class at our school and haven't had any problems with it. It was just published (the second edition) last monty, so it may be still a little hard to find.

Can anyone explain? No, the problem is you have a large hard disk :-). The "-c" for cpio specifies an "old portable (ASCII) archive" format that can only handle 65536 inodes. But you disk have probably more, you can check that with a "df -i" and add the iused and ifree together. If i look at the cpio man page, you need to specify a '-H newc' to get a newer portable ASCII archive format and leave out the "-c" flag.

Because the 2.0 release and the previous SNAP were so flaky on my hardware, I chose to wait until the next SNAP before trying again. So I tried to do a from scratch install of the new SNAP. Here is what I've gone through. 1. Download the two floppy images: boot.flp and cpio.flp. 2. Format new floppies labeled boot and cpio. 3. Use rawrite to write the images. 4. Boot off of the boot floppy. 5. Watch machine hang. No screen messages, no nuttin'. Assume the downloaded images are bad. Repeat the same process as above including step 5. Try again with this modified process. Modify step 1. 1a. Download the gzip images. Note: it would be better for DOS if these were named boot.gz and cpio.gz rather than boot.flp.gz and cpio.flp.gz. 1b. Use gunzip.exe to test the images using the "-t" option. 1c. Use gunzip.exe to unzip the images into boot.g and cpio.g. Note the odd choice of extension. This is gunzip's default behavior. Repeat steps 2 through 5. Well, maybe my floppies are bad. 1. Do a makeflp from the 2.0 release CD. 2. Watch the machine boot just fine from these images using the same media as above. I'm so confused... ;-) Andrew Donoho awd@ddg.com awd@gslis.utexas.edu From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 3 08:25:54 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id IAA15441 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 3 Feb 1995 08:25:54 -0800 Received: from mail.crl.com (mail.crl.com [165.113.1.22]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with SMTP id IAA15434 for ; Fri, 3 Feb 1995 08:25:53 -0800 Received: from crl.crl.com (crl.com) by mail.crl.com with SMTP id AA26132 (5.65c/IDA-1.5 for ); Fri, 3 Feb 1995 08:24:42 -0800 Received: by crl.crl.com id AA26923 (5.65c/IDA-1.5 for questions@freebsd.org); Fri, 3 Feb 1995 08:24:41 -0800 From: Doug Langley Message-Id: <199502031624.AA26923@crl.crl.com> Subject: slow nfs To: questions@FreeBSD.org Date: Fri, 3 Feb 1995 08:24:41 -0800 (PST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 186 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk What can I do to speed up the nfs write speed? whenever I write to any of my 2 bsd systems, I get about 80k/sec for writes.

Put a disklabel on that drive in a BSD partition (even a very small one. Define a slice that spans the swap partition. Make sure your kernel config for BSD support swapping on the device. This is documented in the config documentation. If not, you will have to rebuild a kernel to do it. Swap on the slice spanning the partition. On a related topic: I'm not sure if the default vnode pager works like it is supposed to in the current code. When I did this, I neither had the current code, nor was using the vnode pager that came with the code at the time. *IF* it works, then you can, after you have enabled mounting of your DOS partition, use your Windows swap file as a swap area. To prevent Windows bitching after you are done running BSD and want to reload Windows (for some unholy reason), you must delete a tag file of some kind. I forget which one. This should be done when/before you start using the Windows swap area. The Linux documentation covers this in detail, so since you have Linux, you can look it up there.

The HP was a brand new installation, and one of the mirrored drives failed (Less than a week of use) and the application absolutely could not tell there was a failure. I didn't find out about it till I checked the system console. So, I would be interested in developing some sort of mirroring/logical volume capability for FreeBSD. I feel that this would lend a lot of credit to FreeBSD as a "commercial" product, and perhaps make it a more acceptable replacement for commercial Unix systems to people that may be reluctant to use a freeware product. I am an experienced C/Unix person, but have never gotten my feet wet in the kernel, so I would need some mentoring. Still I think I could pull this off with a little help. If anyone else is interested in pursuing this please email me. Some words of encouragement from an experienced file system person would be especially welcome.

I want to run mrouted on the same machine as I'm running the various tools (e.g. vat, nv, etc.) According to the FAQ to bring up multicast support you need to build a kernel with options MROUTING options MULTICAST options LKM then load the file "ip_mroute_mod". I built the kernel, and mrouted does indeed run. When I try to load the "ip_mroute_mod.o" module using the command modload /lkm/ip_mroute_mod.o I get billions of error messages, and modstat reports nothing loaded (I suspect I'm not doing this right, but there are no instructions for how to do it, so...)

Per /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.FreeBSD, I left /usr/X11R6/bin/X as a symbolic link to XF86_VGA (my graphics card uses the Cirrus GD-5428 chip), then I put path statements for /usr/X11R6/bin in /etc/csh.login and /etc/profile, and added a line in /etc/ttys for ttyv4 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure I also copied /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config.eg to XF86Config. I have about four unresolved issues: 1) When I reboot, around the time it gets to "Login:" the screen flashes four times as if it's trying to do a video mode change; however, the video mode appears to remain the same alphanumeric mode. Isn't it supposed to go into a graphics mode at this point? 2) The only thing I can see for sure in XF86Config that I definitely need to change is the mouse configuration (and if I try to execute "startx" it results in a fatal error of being unable to work with the mouse). My mouse is a Microsoft serial mouse, but it's on the second serial port. The default entry in XF86Config is "/dev/com1", but I don't see a "/dev/com{1,2}" in my system. In dmesg I see sio1 being recognized on startup, but there isn't a /dev/sio{0,1} either. Could anyone tell me what device the system would normally map sio1 to? (Or if I need to do this manually, what commands exactly do I need to execute?) 3) Just to see what would happen I also tried executing "xterm" and got a "Cannot open display" error. Do I also need to do something like a "setenv DISPLAY xyz" somewhere? Or does the fact that I'm just typing at the console make this unnecessary? 4) Finally, on the hardware setup outlined above can anyone see anything else I'd need to do to make X go? Thanks for any help -- despite the odd hurdle, FreeBSD is turning out to be very interesting.

I've actually got the full install done and have been able to get X going. The current issues of the day for me: 1) My 486DX66 has a no-name multifunction video/disk controller/serial-parallel port card with two 16450 UART serial ports. I also have a Hayes Accura 144 internal modem with a 16550 UART. Before installing FreeBSD, I had the two 16450 serial ports left at their defaults of what MS-DOS sees as COM1 and COM2 (the Microsoft serial mouse being on COM2), and had the Hayes internal modem card set to COM3. Both COM1 (unused) and COM3 used the same hardware interrupt, but none of my DOS/Windows programs seemed to care and they were able to work with the modem card ok. When FreeBSD boots, however, it sees a 16450 on sio0 and sio1, but doesn't see the 16550. Do I gather correctly that it is more strict on objecting to the interrupt conflict? To complicate matters, neither the multifunction card nor the Hayes card let you reset the IRQ or port address. The only way I can see to resolve this, besides taking one of the cards out, is to disable COM1 on the multifunction card. However, for whatever reason this doesn't seem to be working when I reset the jumpers per the card's documentation (even if I take the Hayes card out and set the other card's jumpers to disable COM1, the BIOS reports the two 16450's at COM1 and COM2). Do I gather correctly that I'll have to resolve this -- maybe returning this card to the vendor -- before I can use FreeBSD to talk to the internal modem? 2) I'm not sure what I need to do to run kermit. I looked around the system for it; I found a directory under /ports on the cdrom, but it didn't seem to have a package like the others (I saw a makefile but when I tried to execute make it said it couldn't find a .gz file). Do I need to ftp this package from a site on the net, or am I overlooking it somewhere? 3) I got through most of XF86Config ok, but there are a few things left hanging. The manual for my monitor (a 14" Arcus CM-1448, which I gather is not a major name brand) offered handwidth, horizontal sync and vertical refresh, but I'm stuck on some of the values in XF86Config under Mode (specifically, dot clock, horiz timing and vertical timing), and the man page didn't seem to illuminate this. Should I be plugging something apart from the defaults in here? The monitor generally looks ok to me -- it's at a fairly low resolution (320 x something or 640 x something maybe), but this works out okay because since the monitor's small I don't really want tiny type. The only problem I've run into that I don't know how to fix is that when the windows pop up after I execute startx, they extend off the bottom of the screen and I'm having a hard time resizing them so I can read all the commands I type.

This is documented behavior under SunOS, and the Netscape README file says to set the XNLSPATH variable to /usr/lib/X11/nls. I tried creating that directory and set the environment variable to that, and it still has the same problem. I also tried soft linking to /usr/share/locale, and now netscape complains that the locale "C" is not supported: netscape: locale C' not supported. Perhaps the $XNLSPATH environment variable is not set correctly? [nelson@seahunt]:~ $ echo $XNLSPATH /usr/lib/X11/nls I realize this isn't a strictly FreeBSD question, but I'm hoping that someone here has solved this problem and can tell me what the fix is... Here's what the netscape README file says about it: The SunOS 4.1 distribution also includes a directory called "nls". This directory is a standard part of the MIT X11R5 distribution, but is not included with OpenWindows 3.0 or earlier. We have linked Netscape against the MIT R5 libraries because they are less buggy in general; however, they have one rather serious bug, which is that if this "nls" directory does not exist, the program will dump core any time you try to paste into a text field! So, if you don't have the "nls" directory on your system, you will need to install it first. The usual place is /usr/lib/X11/nls, but you can put it anywhere: just point the $XNLSPATH environment variable at it. Some sites don't have their X libraries installed in /usr/lib/X11/. This doesn't matter. You either need to put the nls directory in /usr/lib/X11/, or every user will need to set this environment variable. -- Michael Nelson nelson@seahunt.imat.com San Francisco, CA http://www.imat.com/consult.html VOICE: 1-415-621-2608 From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Feb 4 21:09:07 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id VAA04224 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 4 Feb 1995 21:09:07 -0800 Received: from SIRIUS.COM (earth.sirius.com [140.174.229.4]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with SMTP id VAA04217 for ; Sat, 4 Feb 1995 21:09:06 -0800 Received: from slip204.sirius.com by SIRIUS.COM (NX5.67e/NX3.16M) id AA18039; Sat, 4 Feb 95 21:08:33 -0800 Message-Id: <9502050508.AA18039@SIRIUS.COM> X-Sender: rsoles@sirius.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Version 1.4.4 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Sat, 04 Feb 1995 21:14:39 -0800 To: fod@netcom.com (Frank O'Donnell), questions@FreeBSD.org From: rsoles@SIRIUS.COM (Roger L Soles) Subject: Re: Serial ports, kermit, XF86Config Cc: fod@netcom.com Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Here goes...

But, you'd be better off to get a different IO card or Modem. The SIO drivers depend on interrupts... Generally I put my Mouse on COM2, and Modem on COM1 -- you might give that a try. Your IO card could be picky about having COM1 disabled with COM2 enabled... >2) I'm not sure what I need to do to run kermit.
