I have the latest floppies (Jun 5) that I could get from the FreeBSD ftp site. When I go to assign a partition, the partition table that FreeBSD presents looks nothing like the way DOS sees it. Of the roughly 800 Mb available, 300 is used by DOS and 500 Mb is free (thanks to FIPS). So at least FIPS and DOS agree. This machine was installed by somebody else and when it boots a little blue banner box comes up with "MICRO HOUSE INTERNATIONAL, Maximum Overdrive (tm), 528+ million byte support". Could this be the cause of the problem (duh) ? Looks like some sort of disk geometry software similar to OnTrack DM. I have tried entering the different sets of disk parameters using the 'G' option on the disk partioning page with no improvement. I'd like to get into this new installation system that everybody is talking about, but alas, I can't destroy the DOS partition (DOS does it again). Suggestions anyone? I'd prefer not to back up the DOS partition and re-install it, if possible.

Seidl" Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Matthew, A short time ago I purchased Free BSD 2.0. I have spent all day today trying to install it and get rid of it. I can't understand how you can have a system that offers so much have such sparce installation documentation. It has really been a frustrating experience. I printed out all the readme files and FAQs. Then I installed the kernel (I think that's what you call it.). I was hoping to be able to install the editors, etc. but didn't have any luck. I could find no documentation to tell me how to do it. I can't understand why. When I installed the kernel, the screen said, "specify a distribution to load. With repeated passes through this screen you'll be given the chance to load one or all of them." It sounded great, but how do you make these repeated passes? You have to go through the installation process again? I went to install again, and chose xfree86. After a while the screen froze. The Distribution Subdirectory said, "If the distributions are in a subdirectory of the mount point, please enter it here (no leading slash-it should be relative to the mount point). The directory you enter should be the *parent* directory of any distribution subdirectories." I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS GOBBLEDYGOOK MEANS. With Microsoft Windows, you browse for your installation files, select, and you're off. I know the package included tons of great programs: editors, communications programs, games, etc. But how is someone supposed to figure out how to install them? One screen said, "If none of the listed options works for you, then your best bet may be to simply hit Esc twice to get a subshell and proceed manually on your own." If only there were directions on how to do it on your own. I'm hoping you can answer at least some of these questions. At least the one about how to get boot manager off my system. I know this all sounds negative. But I really was enthused about installing the system and getting it to work. And it was so frustrating to have it not work. Thank you very much.

Furthermore, BootEasy would not boot DOS off of the second disk. It too claimed that the operating system was missing. If I booted dos from floppy, it was quite happy to call sd1 "c:", so I do not see why this should be a problem.

Since I believe BIOS *always* uses the translated geometry when booting (at least, the NCR 810 BIOS seems to), I discovered that I had to reset the geometry (in the Partition menu) to what the SCSI controller's BIOS was going to translate to or I would get the dreaded ``Missing Operating System'' response on boot.

Speaking as the smalltalk maintainer, I know how you felt. I spent AGES trying to debug that exact same problem (was it during the initialisation phase?). Then I did a make clean, recompiled, and everything WORKED. I was ASTOUNDED, OVERJOYED, and RELIVED! I think there must be something that changed between 2.0 and the -current sources of a couple of months ago (when I finally got smalltalk to work) which knocks smalltalk off kilter, and I'm damned if I know what. And just to ensure I wasn't seeing things, I verifyed my results on thud - I'd tried thud previously with my code and it failed, and after I got my machine working by not doing anything to the smalltalk code, thud also worked. It was most mysterious. If anyone can point me in the direction of the culprit, I'll send them a bag of cookies!

It is heavily based on the "selection" package, by Andrew Haylett, and quite a good deal of code comes from selection itself. This package is intended as a replacement for "selection", to provide additional facili- ties. gpm isn't needed if you don't run text-based appli- cations with mouse support.

It is better if you can reinstall your system completely, with everything properly aligned in cylinder boundries (something the new sysinstall does) but if you can't, then you can still use the old FreeBSD slices. The DOS partitions that you used to mount move out to "slice space", e.g. "sd0s1", "sd1s4", etc. Read the new documentation now available with the label editor for a more thorough description of slices!

I believe MAKEDEV is treating "sh MAKEDEV tty00" as "sh MAKEDEV tty" and is re-making the base tty devices. Use "/dev/ttyd0".

If there is a security hole before it does this maybe it is true, but otherwise it will be difficult. I did a "ps -aux" on the machine running wu-ftpd and it is running as user ftp.

I've done it on SCSI drives without any FreeBSD partitions. We have an Interactive Unix and DOS partition on the first SCSI drive and we recently added a larger 1GB drive for FreeBSD. I used the FreeBSD boot manager and wrote the boot record to the first drive using fdisk from the boot floppy. I believe this was with the Feb or March snapshot boot floppy. Installed FreeBSD on SCSI disk two also using the FreeBSD boot loader. Now I can boot the machine and get a prompt for DOS, Interactive Unix, and F5 to switch to the second disk. Upon hitting F5, you get an F1 for FreeBSD and F5 to switch back to the first disk. It works great!

I have a machine on which I do this. I use the OS-BS boot manager. This manager is a DOS program which installs on drive 0 and acts as a redirector to boot from another disk or partition. It is on the 2.0R CD-ROM from WC so I expect you could find it on their archives.

I have had no end of problems with it. I am using a fresh CDROM from wallnut creek (spring 95 I think). I think the problems may be related to the fact that when I assign mount points a 20 MB / b 40 MB swap e 20 MB /var f 900 MB /usr they do not save correctly. (ie I save them then reread them and they are gone) The partitions themselves are saved but the mount points go away. I can reboot my machine off this second disk installed as above but after it recognises the devices, then it is unable to find / a panic insues and we get another reboot. It is interesting to note that although I type hd(1,a)/kernel at the prompt I get a reply of hd(1,a)/kernel, hd(0,a)/kernel before it boots. I thought I could save problems by putting / on my primay disk this did not help. I only have 20 MB free on my primary disk I put / there and put the rest on my second disk ( swap in b and /var in a and /usr in e). When I rebooted I got an error about too many (sectors, cylinders, heads, I do not remember exactly) but it cut the number from 32 to 16 then hung. I have been unable to use the fixint program it seems to always reboot then hang on the cpio disk. I am unable to use my linux partion from your boot loader it just hangs. (when I get this installed I would prefer to use the linux LILO loader to load all OS is this possible? I know linux seems to recognise FreeBSD better then FreeBSD recognises linux) Ken Estes From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jun 6 12:01:48 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id MAA02148 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 6 Jun 1995 12:01:48 -0700 Received: from easynet.com (easy1.easynet.com [199.2.26.10]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with SMTP id MAA02142 for ; Tue, 6 Jun 1995 12:01:47 -0700 Received: by easynet.com (Smail3.1.28.1 #7) id m0sJ3qy-000reCC; Tue, 6 Jun 95 11:59 WET DST Message-Id: From: brian@MediaCity.com (Brian Litzinger) Subject: Re: kernel: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo To: awebster@dataradio.com (Andrew Webster) Date: Tue, 6 Jun 1995 11:59:52 -0700 (PDT) Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <199506061339.JAA05803@vhf.dataradio.com> from "Andrew Webster" at Jun 6, 95 09:40:24 am X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 547 Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk > I am running FreeBSD 2.0R, and I have defined 3 aliases to my network > card (for backward compatability), and now I am getting these messages in > the syslog, several hundred occurances per hour infact. > "kernel: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo". > http://www.dataradio.com Email: awebster@dataradio.com I ran into this when mixing and matching kernels and sys distributions.

The following are the options (/etc/ppp/options) used for pppd : # /etc/ppp/options crtscts # enable hardware flow control modem # modem control line passive # wait for LCP packets domain mydomain # put your domain name here 204.14.44.34:204.14.44.14 # put the IP of remote PPP host here # it will be used to route packets via PPP link # if you didn't specified the noipdefault option # change this line to : defaultroute # put this if you want that PPP server will be your # default router debug The following are the steps I used to dial-up : 1) use kermit to dial-up ISP, and suspend it back to shell 2) pppd /dev/cua00 57600 -detach . At this time I can see that the SD & RD leds are flashing over every 5 seconds or more, and this went on for quite a while before it stopped. 3) I checked netstat -r, ifconfig ppp0, but default route has not been set, neither is any parameter for ppp0 set. 4) I check out /var/log/message, and saw the following : Jun 7 10:23:45 lespoir pppd[589]: pppd 2.0.4 started by root, uid 0 Jun 7 10:23:45 lespoir pppd[589]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/cua00 Jun 7 10:23:45 lespoir pppd[589]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests I then send a few ^C to pppd, but that didn't kill it, I then tried kill -INT 589, and neither did that, then tried kill -9 589, and that did it. 5) Then restarted pppd : pppd /dev/cua00 57600 -detach again, and got : Jun 7 10:25:45 lespoir pppd[589]: received bad Reject! Jun 7 10:25:45 lespoir pppd[589]: plen 6 len 0 off 6 . . (basically, repeated logs of above 2 lines) .

Therefore, I will like to know if anyone has success with FreeBSD-1.1.5.1 ppp and Annex please tell me : If the problem is with the Annex, what parameters must be set on it to get it working properly with pppd. Thanks in advance.

I have a few questions: Never having used X before, I am after some documentation on the operation, admin etc of it all. I havent been able to find any as yet. Any suggestions? I found out I got my mouse working (thanks heaps to those who replied) by walking into our 'play room' this morning and finding it waiting for a login in that fancy X way(!?) I proceeded to try and login as both root and a normal user, both of which came to no avail. I cant get past that screen. What I need is a boot in the right direction.

Perhaps soneone could tell me whether what I want is possible and what I need to do to get it to work.

Furthermore, BootEasy would not boot DOS off of the second disk. It too claimed that the operating system was missing. If I booted dos from floppy, it was quite happy to call sd1 "c:", so I do not see why this should be a problem. Basically, I repeatedly re-installed without success until I finally broke down and fell back to my original translated geometry partitioning. Is there some reason why I cannot get things to go with the untranslated geometries? thanks, Adrian adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| Support your local programmer, http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~atf3r/ --->>>| STOP Software Patent Abuses NOW!

Anyway, this forces me to invoke this silly # script. # alias kermit /usr/local/bin/kermit alias pppd /usr/libexec/pppd setenv SCRLIB /etc/ppp setenv PPPDEV /dev/ttyd1 setenv PPPIDEV /dev/ttyid1 setenv SPEED 57600 # # If pppd is still running when this script is invoked, kill it off. # kill -9 `ps -ax | grep pppd | grep -v grep | awk '{ printf "%s",$1}'` sleep 5 route -n flush # # Dial using the kermit dialup script. clocal is used to keep the modem from # hanging up after Kermit exits. # stty -f ${PPPIDEV} clocal crtscts kermit -l ${PPPDEV} -b ${SPEED} -C "take ${SCRLIB}/mcpppdial" # # Run the ppp daemon # pppd debug ${PPPDEV} ${SPEED} ----------------------------------------------------------- (I know this is more complicated than it needs to be, but I wanted to make it easy to make changes... :-) Kermit is invoked using the following script: ------------------- /etc/ppp/mcpppdial -------------------- set flow rts set input timeout-action proceed set input case ignore set input echo on :reset echo "Resetting the modem..." hangup output +++ pause 2 output ATZ\13 input 10 OK if success goto restart-done echo "Cannot reset the modem" stop :restart-done echo "Modem has been reset." :setup output at&d0\13 input 45 OK :setup_done :dial set count 15 :dial-loop output atdtYOUR_PHONE_NUMBER_HERE\13 input 45 CONNECT if success goto dial-done if count goto dial-loop echo "Dialing failed; aborting." stop :dial-done echo "Dialing done; proceeding to login..." pause 1 set count 10 :get-username output \13 input 3 login: if success goto get-username-done if count goto get-username echo "?Can't seem to get a username prompt; restaring" goto reset :get-username-done pause 1 output YOUR_USERNAME_HERE\13 input 3 Password: if success goto got-password echo "?Can't seem to get password; restarting" goto reset :got-password output YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE\13 quit ------------------------------------------------------------- 'course it's been edited to hide specific information... :-) Note the "at&d0\13" which turns off DTR hangup on the modem - that way the modem won't hang up the line when Kermit exits. Finally the ppprc looks like: ------------- /etc/ppp/options ------------------------------ netmask 255.255.255.240 crtscts defaultroute ------------------------------------------------------------ The first line is needed to set the proper mask; the second sets up hardware flow control. The last forces install of a default route. Note that I don't specify any addressing - I let the server supply the link information. That way all I have to do to switch from my office server to my local Annex server is change phone number, username, and password. FYI, on my office server I have ------------ /etc/ppp/options --------------------------- crtscts # enable hardware flow control passive # establish passive link (wait for LCP) proxyarp # insert an ARP entry for the host ---------------------------------------------------------- and the .ppprc in the ppp dialup username is: ------------ ~YOUR_PPP_USERNAME/.ppprc ----------------- 198.116.75.17:198.116.75.65 -------------------------------------------------------- In your case you're dialing up to an Annex terminal server, so this file won't exist. Our Annex is configured to respond to PPP LCP requests so it will provide the IP addressing for you; yours probably is too? In that case you won't addressing in the options or .ppprc file either - the Annex will provide it for you. I also have information about the modem configurations on my work Web page; "http://www-dc.nsi.nasa.gov/~mnewell/mcnet.html". My home home page version will replace this version one of these days Real Soon Now. BTW, if I ever find out why the PPP daemon doesn't die I also created the following cron script that I run every 15 minutes to check and make sure the link is running: ------------- /etc/ppp/checkppp ------------------------- #!/bin/csh if ( "x`ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep -s pppd`" == "x" ) then echo "Restarting PPPD..." /etc/ppp/restartppp endif --------------------------------------------------------- This'll restart the PPP daemon if it dies off. Hopefully. :-) Thanks, Mike On Wed, 7 Jun 1995, M C Wong wrote: > Date: Wed, 7 Jun 95 10:05:05 EST > From: M C Wong > To: freebsd-questions@freefall.cdrom.com > Subject: [1.1.5.1] PPP failure > > Hi, > I will appreciate if anyone who has succes with pppd on 1.1.5.1 > can give me some helps : > > I am (still) running 1.1.5.1 to dial-out to my ISP Annex-3, the > port has been set to ppp mode and the IP address for me is static, > since it is a permanent connection kind of thing. > > The following are the options (/etc/ppp/options) used for pppd : > > # /etc/ppp/options > crtscts # enable hardware flow control > modem # modem control line > passive # wait for LCP packets > domain mydomain # put your domain name here > > 204.14.44.34:204.14.44.14 # put the IP of remote PPP host here > # it will be used to route packets via PPP link > # if you didn't specified the noipdefault option > # change this line to : > > defaultroute # put this if you want that PPP server will be your > # default router > debug > > The following are the steps I used to dial-up : > > 1) use kermit to dial-up ISP, and suspend it back to shell > 2) pppd /dev/cua00 57600 -detach .

The issue of binary interoperability comes up. I don't really want to have or need the 1.x compatibility library on the new system. What I am observing is that static binaries from 1.1 execute on 2.0.5, but static binaries from 2.0.5 cause a "bad system call" trap and core dump. Is the solution to this to force a link against the 1.x compatibility libraries, or is there some other trick or switch so that locally-compiled 2.0.5 binaries will run on 1.1?

This is likely the known problem with FTP over PPP which meant that the default route didn't get set - so unless the machine you are connecting to provides NS, you won't get name resolution, and even if you do, you won't get routed out onto the internet. A hacky solution is to go to the EHS on VTY4 and type `route add default ' where hisaddr is the address of the machine on the other end of the PPP line (or you can do `add 0 0 HISADDR' at the ppp prompt I believe) This should be fixed in the BETA floppies which are slowing my machine down as I speak!

I chose 1.1.5.1 because that's the version I'm running and I haven't tried 2.0 yet. He's brand new to UNIX, so I was trying to keep from giving him any surprises that I wouldn't have run into already. Guess what. I got surprised. I can't get the system fully installed. We get up to the point where we should be booting from the hard disk (i.e., just after copying the kcopy-ah to wd0a. When we boot we get the message "Unable to load Operating System" (or something very similar -- I forgot to write it down). I've included the MSD information on his system. The only additional thing I think I can add is that it's using a Maxtor drive (540 Megs) with a DOS partition. His BIOS can't handle >1024 cylinders, so he's got, in effect, a 528 Meg hard disk that we were going to give 200 Megs of to FreeBSD. Any ideas?

Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Well, installing 2.0.5-ALPHA off of floppies has been a nightmare. I keep getting checksum errors (e.g. "bin.ad" 2784800773l 240640l should be 2784800773"). These persist even after reformatting the floppy, trying a new floppy, copying the dist again, and ftp'ing a new dist to try. I'd like to see if I can install this thing via PPP instead, but I haven't a clue how to use it (I always used SLIP). The FAQ assumes a connection via kermit and I can't figure the installation PPP out (I get this far: 1) "term" 2) atdt ) :) I understand BETA will be out tonight, so I'll try that, but in the meantime, can someone help me out here?!

Chris Provenzano's beta pthread package based on POSIX1003.4a Draft 8 with a few minor patches compiles and almost runs through its tests on FreeBSD 2.05B. The test that fails is the floating point preemption test, which dies with a: > pid 4510 (test_preemption_) exited with masked floating point exceptions 0x41 I'll bet bde can suggest a fix for this; I recall him commenting on floating point in signal handlers. I coincidentally had decided to check pthreads out this morning to see if it could go on the experimental section of the CD-ROM. Jordan: Do you want this like this on the CD-ROM? It is certainly ready for hacker use.

I have had a similar problem. the solution was to go to ttyv3 (alt f4) and add the default route manually. for some reason this wasn't getting done by ppp. I used something like: # route add default then the nameserver/ftp stuff worked, well the nslookup stuff did. Last night I got as far as `logging into ftp.freebsd.org' and `cd to /pub/FreeBSD/.../' then it failed. the debugging log looked like the program was looking for some ``dist'' file or directory which wasn't there. > > Chuck > > ********************************************** > * Charles Browning * Augusta, GA * > * 706.855.9999 * > * browning@browning.csranet.com * > ********************************************** > > > eric. -- erich@lodgnet.com erich@rrnet.com From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jun 8 07:15:02 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id HAA13015 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 8 Jun 1995 07:15:02 -0700 Received: from dvals1.larc.nasa.gov (dvals1.larc.nasa.gov [128.155.4.96]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id HAA12992 for ; Thu, 8 Jun 1995 07:14:58 -0700 Received: (from branson@localhost) by dvals1.larc.nasa.gov (8.6.11/8.6.9) id KAA06676; Thu, 8 Jun 1995 10:13:58 -0400 From: Branson Matheson Message-Id: <199506081413.KAA06676@dvals1.larc.nasa.gov> Subject: Re: Automounting a CD-ROM To: jmrueda@diatel.upm.es (Javier Martin Rueda) Date: Thu, 8 Jun 1995 10:13:57 -0400 (EDT) Cc: questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <724*/S=jmrueda/OU=diatel/O=upm/PRMD=iris/ADMD=mensatex/C=es/@MHS> from "Javier Martin Rueda" at Jun 8, 95 03:51:31 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL21] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 1540 Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk > > I want to use amd to automount CD-ROMs. > > The idea is that whenever a user inserts a disk in the CD-ROM drive he/she > doesn't need to be root to mount the filesystem.

We want somthing like this... but it isn't quite that automagic ( sgi has that but at the cost of pinging the scsi bus every 1 or two seconds yuk! ) what you can have is a directory that they can cd into and if there is a cdrom there, it will mount it. The problem exists that you cannot change the type of filesystem that is mounted with out doing some tom-foolery and using the program filesystem to mount the cd. If somone has as solution to this it could be very nice indeed ( might be somthing to think about including in the next release. ) I have not been able to get it to work. -branson -- MATHESON, E BRANSON E.B.MATHESON@LaRC.NASA.GOV Mail Stop 931 COMPUTER SCIENCES CORPORATION NASA Langley Research Center Assigned to Operations Support Division Hampton, VA 23681-0001 Phone +1 804 864-9700 From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jun 8 07:17:06 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id HAA13202 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 8 Jun 1995 07:17:06 -0700 Received: from tserv.lodgenet.com (root@[204.157.148.52]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id HAA13136 for ; Thu, 8 Jun 1995 07:15:40 -0700 Received: from jake.lodgenet.com (jake.lodgenet.com [204.124.120.30]) by tserv.lodgenet.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) with ESMTP id JAA03264; Thu, 8 Jun 1995 09:14:56 -0500 Received: (from erich@localhost) by jake.lodgenet.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id JAA04929; Thu, 8 Jun 1995 09:17:01 -0500 Date: Thu, 8 Jun 1995 09:16:59 -0500 (CDT) From: "Eric L.

Linux uses a different format for their /etc/host.conf file. If you look in your /etc/host.conf you will see amongst some comments the two lines: hosts bind which are confusing to linux' resolv+. the quick fix is to mv /etc/host.conf //etc/host.conf.bsd by the way Netscape works too. > > Thanks, > > Brian Litzinger > brian@easynet.com > > eric. -- erich@lodgnet.com erich@rrnet.com From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jun 8 08:04:37 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id IAA14612 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 8 Jun 1995 08:04:37 -0700 Received: from halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu (halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu [18.26.0.159]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with SMTP id IAA14604 for ; Thu, 8 Jun 1995 08:04:33 -0700 Received: by halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu; (5.65/1.1.3.6) id AA18314; Thu, 8 Jun 1995 11:04:25 -0400 Date: Thu, 8 Jun 1995 11:04:25 -0400 From: Garrett Wollman Message-Id: <9506081504.AA18314@halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu> To: Bill Fenner Cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Can amd use automounter maps?

I'm having a repeatable problem with the install hanging, and no debug output which tells me why. I have sucessfully installed 2.0R from the Walnut Creek CD on the exact same PC with the same configuration about 2 weeks ago. Here's what I have done so far: - made a boot.flp using dd to the floppy drive on this very PC while still running 2.0R - booted from the boot floppy. - Choose Proceed - Choose Partition - select sd0 (my only disk) (A comment here - the red "s" on this menu wrongly led me to believe that typing "s" would select this disk. I had to reboot and reread the "how to use menus" to learn to use the space bar for selections here.) - Since I've been retrying this, my partition table is already set up. I have a 100 MB fat slice, and a 906MB freebsd partition. - Escape from partition, choose label. - set mount point for sd0s2a to "/", set mount point for sd0s2e to "/usr". Mount point for sd0s2b is already swap. (Another comment here. I noticed that if I did not toggle the newfs flag to read "Y", I got a warning message much later about a read-only root partition. I suggest that if a user exits from this label menu with root set to no-newfs, that the warning is printed here too. Otherwise you have no idea where you went wrong when you see the message later.) - Choose distributions, select X-developer, select what I want. - Select media menu. - select Install over NFS - enter the NFS spec of the server where I have FreeBSD copied to. In my case, it is: cronus:/s3/bsd/FreeBSD/2.0.5-ALPHA - Network interface type menu comes up. My network interface is "de0", which shows up on the menu, but it worries me that the menu says . I choose it anyway. - The Network Configuration display comes up. I enter all the relevant information. For security reasons, I'm going to modify the relevant IP numbers, but put them in the same format: Host Name: baz.microunity.com Domain Name: microunity.com Gateway: 191.211.193.16 Name Server: 191.211.193.32 IP Address: 191.211.193.80 Netmask: 0xffffff00 Extra options to ifconfig: none Exit this menu with OK. - Choose "Install" from the main menu - Choose Booteasy boot manager - Confirm out of Last Chance Here the install appears to go normally, I see a newfs of rsd0s2e. A worrisome message appears on the alt-F2 screen: Warning: calculated sectors per cylinder (3680) disagrees with disk label (2048) but the newfs seems to proceed. Eventually the Information Dialog hangs with this message: Loading root floppy from cronus:/s3/bsd/FreeBSD/2.0.5-ALPHA On the alt-f2 screen, I see these messages: DEBUG: Notify: Copying the boot floppy to /stand on root filesystem ............................... 1969 blocks /mnt/etc /mnt/etc/prototcols /mnt/etc/services /mnt/etc/sysconfig 129 blocks DEBUG: Sticking a potentially helpful shell over on the 4th screen add net default: gateway 191.216.192.16 ......................................................................................... gunzip: stdin: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignored ......... 1655 blocks DEBUG: Generating /etc/fstab file I go over to the 4th screen with alt-F4, and notice these things: mount returns this: mfs_root on / (local) /dev/sd0a on /mnt (local) /mnt/dev/sd0s2e on /mnt/usr (local) cronus:/s3/bsd/FreeBSD/2.0.5-ALPHA on /nfs If I cd to /nfs and echo *, I see what I expect - the list of directories from cronus - MIRROR.SITES, README, README.FIRST, etc. If I cat /etc/fstab, it is empty. ls -l tells me it is zero length, and its creation date is only a few minutes ago. Its permissions are 644. I realize this email is rather long, but my experience with installations in the past has been that more information is generally better. About my experience - I have only installed FreeBSD 2.0R once before on this same PC. However, I have done numerous installations of various versions of SunOS 3.2-5.3 when I worked there for 6 years. And I am a systems/kernel programmer by trade. I would appreciate any information you can provide about this install problem.

I created a bootable floppy (boot_144.flp), booted it and used sysinstall to create proper slices, partitions, etc.... wrote MBR and boot code and label. At this point I was asked to remove the floppy and boot from the HD (IDE 1.25GB on a P75 Packard Bell system, PCI bus.) Boot manager would not boot my newly installed kernel from the HD. I was able to fool it: I booted the floppy again and I told the FreeBSD boot monitor to go and boot hd(0,a)/kernel. It worked fine and I was able to continue the installation. Now, since this will be a production machine, I need to be able to have an automated boot sequence. My prefered choice would be to get rid of the broken boot manager ( I run the same version at home on a 486dx2/50, 1GB IDE disk, ISA bus, ATI ultra pro, and the boot manager works fine). I did notice a certain difference between what the BIOS thinks my HD is (geometry) and what FreeBSD thinks it is. For my BIOS, the HD is 2477 cyl, 16 heads and 63 secs for a total of 1278MB. For FreeBSD it is the same thing except that it thinks it is 1219MB. (the right number is 1278=16*63*2477*512) I wonder if that's what is breaking the boot manager..... So my questions are: 1- is there a way to fix it? 2- if not, if there a way to directly enter FreeBSD's boot monitor without going through the boot manager? (if yes, how?) Thank you very much, so far, FreeBSD gained a new fan.

Privide multiple subdirectories off your main directory. The main issue is making sure a mount is anot attempted while one is in process. Other than that, there's really no "BSD" cannonical way to resolve the issue. SVR4 resolves this problem via 'fstyp'. Basically, the mount command can determine the file system type without it being explicitly specified on the command line. They do the same thing for newfs (mkfs) and dump and other utilities that know about file system layout (ff/fsck/ncheck/etc.). One problem with implementing this is that BSD has explicit knowledge of supported file system types by manifest constant (see mount.h). This is actually a limitation of the BSD approach, and screws with dynamic loading of FS types as LKMs, since the only mountable objects must be predefined at kernel compilation time for the mount system call. I mean to do something about this when I get the time. Not all ideas are bad because of a SVR4 origin.

We intend to use the machine as a mail and FTP host. I have two questions. 1) At boot tine the kernel sets up the network device (ed1 in this case) to the incorrect IRQ of 5, despite my specifiying IRQ 3 duing the installation. So now I have to boot using -c and change the IRQ setting by hand. How do I tell the kernel it is really at IRQ3 so I don't have to be on-hand at boot time? 2) Every now and then (although usually just after booting) I get: kernel: wdc0: extra interrupt being logged. What does this mean? Should I be worried? Info that may help: I am using an IDE controller, and the system reports: wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): wd0: 81Mb (166600 total sec), 980 cyl, 10 head, 17 sec, bytes/sec 512 wdc0: unit 1 (wd1): wd1: 114Mb (235440 total sec), 981 cyl, 6 head, 40 sec, bytes/sec 512 Other than the two problems everything seems fine.

No, but the last debug message concerns writing /etc/fstab, and the next step (prettymuch) is fetching root.flp, which isn't happening.

You need to go to 2.05 to get the "scsi" command. If you have that then I have a scsiformat script that uses it to format the drive, though it does little more than scsi -f /dev/rsd?.ctl "4 0 0 0 0 0" I believe that if you get all of lib/libscsi and sbin/scsi then you can build the scsi command on 2.0R.

The IRQ and IOMem aren't important for the probe - the base address is the important one from what I've seen. You should also set IRQ to -1 if you are using a soft configuration, or to whatever IRQ it is jumpered to otherwise.

I have terminals in one city that need to talk to a mini-computer in another city. The mini-computer has NO internet access at all. I am planning on two freebsd machines, one with the terminals hooked up to it, and one with multiple serial ports connected to the mini-computers RS-232 lines. The shell script for each user would directly start up a TELNET process, and log them off when TELNET ends. They will not be doing ANYTHING else on the system. Once a connection is made, I need ALL characters to pass through from the terminal to the mini, and back, WITHOUT INTERPRETATION. How do I get the local process on the terminal side to ignore everything? I looked at setting the tty to non-canonical, and BRKINT, so that a BREAK could shut down the telnet process and log them off. Is this correct? On the machine by the mini, it appears that: 1. adding the line #define _PATH_LOGIN 'my-prog' 2. recompiling TELNETD with another output name 3. putting this new program in /etc/services on an unused port 4. specifying the new port to TELNET on the terminal machine would let me get from a terminal to the pty created by TELNETD. Is this correct? 'my_prog' would be a program that looks for the first available serial port, and then connects serial-in to pty-out and serial-out to pty-in. Is there an existing program that might do this? or that I could use code from? Again, I need ALL characters to go thru as is. Thanks in advance for your help. I am just getting started in freebsd, it is just starting to make sense, and that scares me a little.

Config: ASUS SP3G, 40mb RAM, NCR SCSI, 2.1gigs (Quantum Empire), ATI Mach32 video, BOCA 2016 16port serial board. Machine's primary function is terminal service, name service, WWW service. No problems with 1.1.5.1 on this box. Have 6 14.4 modems and 2 28.8 modems on the Bocaboard. Here are the symptoms: 1. Dialup (non SLIP but on same modem lines as SLIP users) still works perfectly. 2. SLIP works fine for some users and doesn't for others. There is _no_ connection whatsoever between configs for people that it works for and for people that it doesn't. Some users dial in, log in with their slip login id (which has /usr/sbin/sliplogin as their login shell) and all is great. Some users dial in, login as their SLIP id, SLIP _appears_ to be up, but they can't see the net, and the net can't see them (ping). Again, there is nothing I can tell that is different for the people that it works for and the people that it doesn't.

In addition, I am limited to two hours per day. Hence, my connection is limited. Saying that, I finally downloaded the 14MB required to do a binary install (2.0.5-ALPHA directory on freebsd.org....BTW, it's quite silly that there is a ftp.freebsd.org, and then freebsd.org!). Fantastic! I went to install....downer. At 15% the debugging screen starts spewing nonending checksum errors on "stand/cpio"... Is this a defective file? Actually, I should mention that I started getting the files originally from ftp.cdrom.com, and then switched to freebsd.org halfway through. The whole process took about 4 days. If there is a defective file, is there any way for me to find which it is without resorting to regetting all of the files? BTW: You guys are doing an incredible job. I really am amazed such a product exists without a four figure price: just ask the guy I spoke to when originally talking to your product with Walnut Creek... ;^) Humorous phone call!

Install FreeBSD on the first SCSI disk. Tell it to use the whole disk, and install the _standard_ MBR. (Not the boot selector). Then install Boot-Easy (get it out or the 2.0R distribution tools directory) on the IDE disk. The BIOS will boot the IDE disk, and you will be able to select DOS, or the 'second' disk, with FreeBSD on it.

I think so, yes. You're going to boot off the second drive, and the remaining drives are not of interest for FreeBSD. On which controller are drives 3 & 4?

The SWiM 2.0 for FreeBSD is for FreeBSD 2.X. I believe they have a SWiM 1.2.4 for FreeBSD 1.X also. I've been running the SWiM 2.0 with a Feb and March snap shot along with current kernels and have had no problems. I've compile a few Motif programs like xmcd and nedit and they work beautifully. The examples that come with SWiM do not compile "out-of-the-box" with FreeBSD; the make files are not quite right. But they will compile when changed correctly. I've made a few notes of the problems I had when installing SWiM; their installation is not quite right and I've modified the sample app-defaults and resources. If you purchase SWiM, I can send along whatever notes I have.

The rates that the modem actually transfers the data over the telephone line no longer have anything to do with the rates the modem transfers the data to your pc. If you think about that, it needs to be that way for 2 reasons: 1) The modem is error correcting, so if errors occur, it has to transfer data more slowly. 2) The modem uses compression, sometimes actually sending 2-4 times the amount of data going over the telephone line. Because of these two things, you should set your data rate, between the modem and your pc, to some rate greater than the transfer rate. I set my 28.8 KB modem to 38,400 from the pc, but that's because I almost always transfer data that's already compacted. If you transfer raw data, on a 28.8 modem, well, some people use 115 kb transfer rates. I'm not losing anything if the modem tries to outspeed my pc, because I use something called hardware flow control. That means, my data interface relies on two signals (wires, actually) in the interface, called CTS and RTS, to act as traffic cops if the data rate gets too high. Take a look at the sio man page if you are still curious.
