Have recently purchased a CDROM from Walnut Creek and installed FreeBSD on my machine. It is working fine. However it is many years since I used Unix and find trying to figure everything out from the manpages alone somewhat difficult. I live in a rural area where phone charges to the nearest ISP are up to $20 per hour depending on the time and day. So you will understand it would be very expensive for me to search the Internet for the answers to all my questions. Could you please therefore recommend a good set of manuals for use with FreeBSD (the manuals for 4.4BSD perhaps) and the email address and/or address & fax number where I could purchase these. Many thanks. Hanns B.

This sounds suspiciously like your client's in-addr.arpa domain is not registered correctly, or your nameserver can't look it up. The login program attempts to findout who is at the other end of the connection by useing a gethostbyaddr call. Eventually it times out and gives the login prompt. Check your logs of who has been on (last | more), and if it only shows IP addresses for the remote host, you've found the problem!

It's crazy, I know, but it was there to be done. ALL of /bin and /sbin, *en masse*. That naturally includes tools like ln. So when I rebuilt libc to use GNU malloc instead of BSD malloc (the launching pad of this entire thread, remember), to get the replacement libc installed I copied the original statically linked ln off the CD (suitably renamed) and used it (after mv'ing the old libc) to set up a symbolic link so I can easily switch between the two libc's. (I also had to use chflags to loosen up the old libc so I could mv it. And getting the new libc built with GNU malloc wasn't all that easy to begin with, but that's another story.....) That put me in a position where, had the new libc failed to work right, upon rebooting init might have failed, in which case I would have had to use MY emergency recovery method, which is an elaborate system of floppies (one boot, one mounted by the boot) containing a kernel and a bunch of statically linked and compressed file system repair tools (including ln, so I could switch back to the old libc). All of which would probably be intolerable to a site administrator, but it makes sense to me as an individual in control of my own machine, and that's the point on the "perspective" issue, I think. There might be other, more efficient ways to do some things when the target machine is someone's personal system and priorities are different. (Although those repair floppies do raise a few questions about what "efficient" means and in what context.....) Oh, and by the way, GNU malloc seems to save perhaps a couple of hundred KBs here and there over BSD malloc (it's hard to tell), but that quickly gets drowned in the flood of memory usage generated by X and its clients and their libraries, and you're STILL overflowing into swap just to bring up fvwm and xfm on my 8 MB machine. GNU malloc may be good for the fastidious, but it's no cure for swapping with X. Nothing that has been stated so far really addresses that, because it's endemic to X itself. Terry Lambert then responded to Chuck Robey: > I think you need root level system binaries to the point that /usr *can* > be mounted seperately, even if it isn't the default case. That's CERTAINLY true for servers, and probably true for a lot of personal systems as well. > I didn't get anything from Jim's post that would imply he thought > otherwise, only that the argument of "what if this goes wrong AND > this goes wrong AND this goes wrong..." is complicated to the point > of a reinstall being a better option than worrying about contingencies > to the point of losing sight of the real problem. > > Its the case of "don't optimize the boot code" or more colloquailly, > "don't miss the forest for the trees". Perhaps the forest I'm crawling toward, is one where there might be two distinct configurations of FreeBSD, one for multi-user servers and one for personal systems, with appropriate size-versus-speed tradeoffs for each. Personal system users tend not to notice MINOR speed losses due to size optimizations, but they do notice MAJOR size losses due to speed optimizations. And many of the security issues that afflict multi-user servers are moot on the personal system. Of course, I recognize that there are situations where a personal system might have to double as a multi-user server of a sort, so it might not be a black-and-white issue. And purists would no doubt howl at the whole issue anyway. But it can be done, for character mode, command line FreeBSD, anyway. X (the memory usage of which started this whole thing, by raising the issue of GNU malloc) may be hopeless, because its basic design goals make no sense for a personal system. X was designed, structured and optimized to run with servers and clients separated over a network. That architectural vision drove all the choices in its development (just as the architectural vision of a VAX with a horde of character terminals plugged into it drove all the choices in BSD's development). But for X to really make sense on a personal system, you'd have to fundamentally restructure the server and the client libraries and their interrelationships and rewrite the whole thing from the ground up, and then it wouldn't be X anymore, but something else emulating X. I guess maybe we SHOULD be glad that FreeBSD runs X "fine" with 16 MB of RAM! Edward Wolpert said: > The location where I work is planning to go to disk-less > workstations... Basically a full X-terminal on each desk. (Or run > freebsd on their pc's??? ;-) X terminal market is just starting in the > US, but it's big elsewhere (Well, Japan I believe. Great for > sysadmins. Precisely the point: Great for sysadmins, but what does that do for personal systems? I read several YEARS ago about the X terminal market "just starting." And where is it big? Japan, you "believe"? Hmm..... Obviously, there are situations where the X terminal concept is just the ticket, but that seems like a niche market to me. I think the exceptions prove the rule. Your site probably wouldn't even consider that, if overloaded costs weren't a factor! Finally, Chuck Robey asked me: > to make a 30 minute sojourn amongst my books.

No and no, and I'm not suggesting FreeBSD "dumb down." Although I do sometimes grumble when I'm forced into a steep learning curve that I would rather enter at my leisure, so to speak. But if I ever started to feel "shut out of the system" I would look elsewhere, too. I guess I have a split-level attitude on this: I want a sleek, easy-to-drive car, but I want to get under the hood, understand it, and turn wrenches as well. Perhaps I think ideally the latter should be, uh, more optional? My main point revolves around efficient resource usage on the small personal system. Do you think personal systems shouldn't be small? --Jim Howard From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Aug 27 14:10:47 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id OAA04281 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 27 Aug 1995 14:10:47 -0700 Received: from linux.csie.nctu.edu.tw (linux.csie.nctu.edu.tw [140.113.235.252]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id OAA04263 for ; Sun, 27 Aug 1995 14:10:43 -0700 Received: (from jdli@localhost) by linux.csie.nctu.edu.tw (8.6.9/8.6.9) id FAA00223 for freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG; Mon, 28 Aug 1995 05:09:13 +0800 From: Chien-Ta Lee Message-Id: <199508272109.FAA00223@linux.csie.nctu.edu.tw> Subject: How to disklabel sd0s5 ?

Do you think personal systems shouldn't be small? Disk space costs less than $1 per megabyte-year, and is continuing to drop sharply. Memory costs are still not as low as they once were, but demands placed on the system as a result of other hype in the PC world will eventually result in more production capacity coming on-line. There's not much value in optimizing for space. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

I've had a LOT, but I've also had trouble with my dial-up ISP, in that their equipment often causes the line to drop. When that happens while the mail reader is clearing mail on the host, I have to shut down and restart the reader, and it then restarts clearing mail on the host. In other words, I'm not sure if the duplicate messages I get are from posting methods, or from this dropped line problem and restarting the mail reader. Their equipment apparently involves a centrex, and some kind of call forwarding to another city, where they have V.FC modems. They have announced changes soon, but they've also announced a price hike, so I'm waiting to see what happens. Since they are the ONLY GAME IN TOWN here (aside from 800 numbers with fat usage fees), the future of my Net connection is very much in doubt. If I stay connected, but the dropped lines continue (?!?), I'll probably drop out of mailing lists and stick to news groups, where the dropped lines don't cause quite such a severe problem.....

There is a 4 hour delay between the mb_map full message and the reboot. 'mb_map full' shouldn't cause the machine to crash, although it can cause the network to go dead for awhile. To increase the mb_map add: options "NMBCLUSTERS=2048" to your kernel config file. With maxuser at 40, you currently have configured a limit of about 1150 mbuf clusters...and this isn't enough in your case. -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Aug 27 16:52:26 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id QAA11560 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 27 Aug 1995 16:52:26 -0700 Received: from Mabuse.Vir.com (News.Vir.com [199.84.154.68]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id QAA11554 for ; Sun, 27 Aug 1995 16:52:25 -0700 Received: from zeta.avenet.com by Vir.com (8.6.10/2.0) id SAA20068; Sun, 27 Aug 1995 18:45:15 -0500 Received: (from rjbproc@localhost) by zeta.avenet.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id TAA01584; Sun, 27 Aug 1995 19:51:36 GMT Date: Sun, 27 Aug 1995 19:51:36 +0000 () From: Robert Burns X-Sender: rjbproc@zeta.avenet.com To: Francisco Reyes cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Virtual screen.

I believe that it's a shell programming restriction, but the virtual terminals aren't created by passing their proper name to MAKEDEV. Instead you need to use MAKEDEV vty#, where # is the number you want. (DON'T use a or b if you decide to make device 11 or 12 - it makes the shell go freaky-freaky, uses up all the swap... it's pretty neat. use vty11 and vt12) From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Aug 27 18:17:49 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id SAA15259 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 27 Aug 1995 18:17:49 -0700 Received: from tippy.vnet.net (tippy.vnet.net [166.82.197.240]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id SAA15250 for ; Sun, 27 Aug 1995 18:17:42 -0700 Received: (from root@localhost) by tippy.vnet.net (8.6.12/8.6.9) id VAA19512; Sun, 27 Aug 1995 21:17:39 -0400 Date: Sun, 27 Aug 1995 21:17:39 -0400 (EDT) From: Chris Madison To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: MBR and 3rd IDE Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hello, I just installed my 3rd IDE drive (it is very cool to have an up-to-date mother board that can do such things) and am having trouble installing the MBR. Doz boots fine, but BSD doesn't:-( I used sysinstall to try and rewrite the MBR and it does not seem to like having to deal with 3 ide drives. Using the lastest snap-shot boot/ root disks, I can select wd0/1/2 but when I go to set the mount points I have two wd2 options and a wd1 option. Going back to the 2.0.5R boot/root disks I can do what I want and get the option to write the MBR. It seems to write it, but it doesn't as evidenced by booting up. I have the options to go to doz or bsd, but the bsd partition that it offers is on the first ide drive, which is what I have /usr/local/src mounted under. I can boot up with the disk and launch the kernel on my / partition, just can't get an MBR to write that will the dual boot thing. I can use all drives and everything is working fine, except the MBR.

I have a 2Gb Barracuda and I originally got a no-name NCR controller. The drive was seen by the controller but at boot time the partition table could not be read. I eventually swapped the NCR for an Adaptec 2940 and all is well. There has been some discussion a while ago on problems with specific versions of code on some hard drives and the way these drives (don't) interact with some SCSI controllers. The version of code on my Barracuda is 0015, (marked on the label), and I seem to remember that was a version with a problem. It was for me anyway. I suggest you try the mail archives. _-_|\ Terry Dwyer E-Mail: tdwyer@netbsd08.dn.itg.telecom.com.au / \ System Administrator Phone: +61 9 491 5161 Fax: +61 9 221 2631 *_.^\_/ Telecom Australia Telstra Corporation MIME capable mailer v Perth WA ( I do not speak for Telstra or Telecom ) From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Aug 27 19:09:41 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id TAA17383 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 27 Aug 1995 19:09:41 -0700 Received: from Mabuse.Vir.com (News.Vir.com [199.84.154.68]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id TAA17373 for ; Sun, 27 Aug 1995 19:09:37 -0700 Received: from zeta.avenet.com by Vir.com (8.6.10/2.0) id VAA00050; Sun, 27 Aug 1995 21:02:33 -0500 Received: (from rjbproc@localhost) by zeta.avenet.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id WAA02424; Sun, 27 Aug 1995 22:08:54 GMT Date: Sun, 27 Aug 1995 22:08:53 +0000 () From: Robert Burns X-Sender: rjbproc@zeta.avenet.com To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Netscape nls error Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk When running Netscape V1.1N I'm getting the following error message despite what I think is a proper setup: ***** locale 'C' not supported along with all the other garbage this error spits out! ***** I placed the contents of the nls directory which came with Netscape in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls and I have a symbolic link X11 -> X11R6 in /usr Has anyone else experienced the same problem? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Burns (rjbproc@vir.com) Mtl., Ca. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Aug 27 19:59:47 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id TAA19271 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 27 Aug 1995 19:59:47 -0700 Received: from bravo.imagi.net (bravo.imagi.net [204.157.4.2]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id TAA19259 for ; Sun, 27 Aug 1995 19:59:42 -0700 Received: from ip123.imagi.net (ip123.imagi.net [204.157.4.123]) by bravo.imagi.net (8.6.9/8.6.10) with SMTP id TAA11588 for ; Sun, 27 Aug 1995 19:03:08 -0800 Date: Sun, 27 Aug 1995 19:03:08 -0800 Message-Id: <199508280303.TAA11588@bravo.imagi.net> X-Sender: corellg@mail.imagi.net X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Version 1.4.4 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: questions@freebsd.org From: corellg@imagi.net (Gary B.Corell) Subject: pastudio16 w/cd-rom Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I wonder if anybody has had any success with a 1992 verion pastudio 15 sound card.

The SCSI code only probed up to ID 7 until a few days ago. Now it is the responsibility of the controller drivers to notify the SCSI code what the maximum target is. The aic7xxx driver does this for wide controllers. The other drivers that support wide controllers should have support for this soon. -- Justin T.

So sd0s4 is the last one! No, in the new slice code you can use extended partitions as well. Though it may not be very well tested.. however I think what we have here is some confusion.. I think the user has used linux before.. he seems to expect each filesystem to reside on a separate Extended partition.. This is not how it's done under BSD unix...... You must first realise that FreeBSD further divides up the partition sd4 to sub partitions.. the extended parts are called slices.. sd0s1, sd0s2,sd0s3,sd0s4,sd0s5 etc.. these are further divided to sd0s4a sd0s4b sd0s4c etc. root is sd0s4a and user will probaby be sd0s4e or f why do you want to put it on s5? > Lars > > > -- > ______________________________________________________________________________ > Lars K闤ler E-Mail: > University of Rostock (Germany) lars.koeller@odie.physik2.Uni-Rostock.DE > Fachbereich Physik > Universit酹splatz 3 Phone: +49 381/498-1665 or 498-1648 > 18051 Rostock Fax: +49 381/498-1667 > > From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Aug 28 01:42:52 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id BAA12394 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 28 Aug 1995 01:42:52 -0700 Received: from linux.csie.nctu.edu.tw (linux.csie.nctu.edu.tw [140.113.235.252]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id BAA12365 for ; Mon, 28 Aug 1995 01:42:34 -0700 Received: (from jdli@localhost) by linux.csie.nctu.edu.tw (8.6.9/8.6.9) id QAA04416; Mon, 28 Aug 1995 16:39:33 +0800 From: Chien-Ta Lee Message-Id: <199508280839.QAA04416@linux.csie.nctu.edu.tw> Subject: Re: How to disklabel sd0s5 ?

Cc: jeffa@sybase.com Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi All, Okay, rumor has it that Netscape *will* run under FreeBSD V2.0.5-R with Xfree86 V3.1. Uhm, can anyone tell me exactly how? I posted a message last week about how I tried to get it working... but noone seems to ever have had the problem that I'm having (i.e. - no one responded). So I figured I'd try it again. Here goes: The fundamental problem is the entire X display seems to lock up whenever I start up Netscape (Netscape-V1.1N...unknown.bsd). Netscape starts up and displays the "normal" blank screen (as dictated by the netscape option file). However, if I pull down any of the menu options the mouse changes to a reverse arrow and bang, hung X server. I need to CTRL/ALT/F1 to a new session and kill the Netscape process. Most of the time the X session comes back to life (that is I can change window focus, etc). I've tried two different window managers (twm and olvwm) just to make sure it wasn't that. No go. A 'ps -aux' shows the system apparently in a nice quiecent state (no high CPU users, etc). Any ideas/guesses as to why Netscape is causing such a hang? If it matters, Netscape displays an error about not being able to use uname(). It also doesn't seem to be able to properly handle the DISPLAY environment variable. That is, if it is setup correctly (I believe, to the local workstation name:0 or localhost:0) it prints out three "can't open display xxx:0" each about 30 seconds apart and then exits. I need to do a "xhost +" to get it to work. Xterm and all other X applications seem to work okay and don't show this problem. Background info: System is running V2.0.5-R with custom kernel (CD-ROM IDE patches) Xfree86 V3.1.? (Version that ships with 2.0.5) P100 (ASUS), 40MB memory, NCR SCSI, SCSI Disks, IDE CD-ROM #9XGR64 Pro Graphics (2mb) PS/2 Style Mouse (using on-motherboard mouseport) I believe that I have the V1 compatibility stuff loaded. I have not explicitly loaded any SCO or BSDI stuff. Did I miss something here? I have checked the FAQ and mailing archives. However it wasn't very revealing other than pointers to ftp.netscape.com and which file to download. :-( I'd really like to get this to work so *ANY* help, thoughts, guesses, etc would be very much appreciated! I'm totally baffled as to what is wrong.

Are you referring to FreeBSD? There was a version 2.0R, but I'm making sure here, because they are not intercompatible. There wasn't any upgrade path from 2.0R to the currently available release version of FreeBSD, 2.0.5R, because changes were made to the organization of partitions on the disk. You'll have to back up anything you can't afford to lose, then reinstall from the 2.0.5 cdrom (or floppies, or network). This will completely erase your FreeBSD partition, so don't leave anything left that you need. There isn't any other way, I sure wish there was! I understand that future releases are planned to allow this, tho, assuming that major changes of the same kind aren't needed. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Aug 28 18:55:35 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id SAA05500 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 28 Aug 1995 18:55:35 -0700 Received: from poterne.mtl.dmr.ca (poterne.mtl.dmr.ca [192.219.247.65]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id SAA05487 for ; Mon, 28 Aug 1995 18:55:29 -0700 Received: (from fortinde@localhost) by poterne.mtl.dmr.ca (8.6.9/8.6.6) id VAA00261 for questions@freebsd.org; Mon, 28 Aug 1995 21:55:24 -0400 From: Denis Fortin Message-Id: <199508290155.VAA00261@poterne.mtl.dmr.ca> Subject: lnc0 driver supports the Racal Interlan NI6510 NIC?

The NI6510 uses the Am79C960 chip, so I was hoping that the lnc driver would work, but I'm getting hang-ups as soon as I "ifconfig" the board. At boot time, the board gets seen as a "NE2100 with a Am79C90", so I guess that's not too healthy from the start (there is a comment in if_lnc.c that says the Am7990 and Am79C960 have different meanings for CSR3). The effect is that as soon as I type "ifconfig lnc0 198.168.73.172", the light flashes on the Gandalf box (which seems to indicate something happens on the LAN), the shell prompt comes back, but then the whole machine is frozen and only a hard reset will get it moving again. I assume that the registers on the NI6510 are different and that an interrupt is not being delivered correctly to the driver. Unfortunately, I don't have any NI6510 h/w documents handy. Is it hopeless, or can I easily get out of the hole? If it's too complicated, I'll just signal our support people to get them to purchase a cheapo NE2000 clone instead of spending tons of time fixing it.

That's an interesting start.. what will BSDI give you that FreeBSD doesn't? (there are a few things but I'm curious whether those things are what you are looking for) > I wondered if you could tell > me please, if Netscape will run on FreeBSD. Yes FreeBSD can run BSDI1.x Binaries. so just get the BSDI version off the net.. plus there are many other www browsers available. > This is primarily as I am > hoping to run this in conjunction with a our trials. I am aware that > Mosaic Daemons ship with BSDI. ditto, and there are many other HTTP daemons available too. see the 'packages' collection for abut 200 ported applications for FreeBSD. you can also run some SCO and Linux apps directly > I am also curious as to how many users > FreeBSD is configured to allow.

I wouldn't do more than 20 or 30 simultaneous users if they are doing edits and compiles.. if it's just ftp or http serving, then 300 simultanious sessions is a fair limit.. (depending on lots of other things..) I'm sure Brian will tell you about his experience... > I am also curious as to what is seen as the inherent strenghts of > FreeBSD and BSDI.

FreeBSD has better disk IO BSDI can sell you a service contract freebsd, you have to find your own expert..

There's not much value in optimizing for space. Not much value to whom? You make many assumptions. Perhaps the key word is "value," on the other side of the coin: People with a vested interest in propping up profit margins on hardware want to have the ante continually raised by software. There's a point past which the size-per-feature ratio becomes ludicrous, suggesting either gross incompetence or intent to defraud. --Jim Howard From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 29 01:08:17 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id BAA17297 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 29 Aug 1995 01:08:17 -0700 Received: from diamond.sierra.net (diamond.sierra.net [204.94.39.235]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with SMTP id BAA17288 for ; Tue, 29 Aug 1995 01:08:12 -0700 Received: from martis-d225.sierra.net (martis-d221.sierra.net) by diamond.sierra.net with SMTP id AA17847 (5.67b8/IDA-1.5 for ); Tue, 29 Aug 1995 01:08:06 -0700 Message-Id: <199508290808.AA17847@diamond.sierra.net> From: "Jim Howard" To: freebsd-questions@freefall.FreeBSD.org Date: Mon, 28 Aug 1995 23:38:56 -0800 Subject: Re: This duplicate message thing Reply-To: jiho@sierra.net Priority: normal X-Mailer: Pegasus Mail/Windows (v1.22) Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Kim Culhan replied: > I've had a lot of dupes and my circuit is a T-1 right into my machine room :) Thanks, I feel better already.

Message-ID: <950829084951_71544.1006_EHL61-1@CompuServe.COM> Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hello. Situation: I am attempting to run startx from a dumb (getty?) terminal. It fails when attempting to locate the mouse file /dev/mouse. What happened during install: During the initial install (from DOS) I attempted to install some 3rd pty products and crashed due to a memory problem. So I tried to return to the post install customization process via DOS with no luck (appears I would actually have to reinstall to get back to the point where I was in post-install).. So I ran the xconfig program (xf86config or somesuch?) from FreeBSD. Seemed to run fine but I don't think certain device drivers ever got loaded properly because of my initial INSTALL (packages) failure. I attempted to run the command: sh MAKEDEV mouse from /dev with no luck. My mouse is serial through COM1: so I ran: dmesg | grep sio and it showed me the COM1 port. I couldn't cat to the terminal from this port though because: cat < /dev/sio0 command told me that /dev/sio0 didn't exist (which I already knew from ls). Neither did /dev/tty00. How do I install the proper Microsoft 2-button serial mouse driver? My /etc/XF86Config file contains "Microsoft" and "/dev/mouse" for the pointer protocol. As you can probably tell I am very new to this as all my attempts have been guided by reading the ../X11/doc stuff or man pages. Any help will be much appreciated. Evan Polster CompuServe: 71544,1006 P.S. As you probably already know, I have modified my /etc/ttys file to redefine ttyv3 to run /xdm -nodaemon xterm.

I tried to install gated_R3_5Alpha10.tgz by pkg_add. That does not work for me probably because I run 950412 snap and not current. Then I was able to install Alpha9 from ports-2.0. The installation was fine, with just a couple of warnings. I set routedflags to NO and gated to YES and added the line rip yes ; to my /etc/gated.conf file. I only have one NIC and do not use PPP or SLIP so perhaps I do not need packet forwarding. Now, the problem is the same. I can ping hosts on my subnet (i.e 198.80.26.2, 198.80.26.247 and 198.80.26.10). 198.80.26.2 is the gateway to Internet and 198.80.26.10 is DNS server. DNS seems to work okay: if I try nslookup ds2.internic.net, it works. However, I'm still unable to ping any outer hosts. I also can't send email to outside. Inside it works okay. I'm able to send mail from 198.80.26.247 to the outside world so the Internet connection seems to be allright also.

My personal preference is newsgroup since you can quickly graze through it instead of having your mailbox pounded. Some of you may have used (ding) Gnus which is the rewrite of the GNU newsreader in Emacs. I won't go into the features of ding, Suffice to say that it is radical !!. I see one feature of ding as very useful. Ding's mailing list (very high volume) is archived on a ftp site I believe in the form of MH messages. Ding allows one to read the mailing list as a newsgroup. You have to type two keystrokes inside ding to incorporate it as one. It supports NOV databases. My suggestion is that on an experimental basis, one or more of the freebsd mailing lists be archived in the same manner. One can request the author of ding to add some keystroke mappings to bring the archived mailing list as part of the list of subscribed groups. I understand that there are WAIS searchable archives, but with this interface I need to use only one tool. This will allow lurkers (like me) to keep up with the happenings and yet not get swamped by email. FreeBSD gets a much wider audience. A win-win situation. I do not have the technical expertise to set up the archive. I am sure somebody from the ding list can help. Should be a simple procmail recipe. Information about ding is available at http://www.ifi.uio.no/~larsi/ding.html My apologies if this question is inappropiate for this list. I do not as yet subscribe to them.

When I choose [C]ommit, it runs newfs and whatever else, but then complains that it cannot find the root floppy image, and tries to load it from a floppy. Now, I can make a root floppy image and use that, but why doesn't it find it on the DOS partition? (Yes, I checked, and THe files 'boot.flp' and 'root.flp' are present in c:\freebsd ;) 2. We made a custom CD containing, among other things, a FreeBSD release (based on 2.0.5 with a few minor changes). Unfortunately, due to a small oversight, the files on the CD are arranged as: /dos /freebsd /freebsd/dists and so on, so the FreeBSD install doesn't work (install wants the 'dists' directory to be in /dists). What is the easiest way around this problem? It doesn't appear to be too terribly difficult to make new boot floppy images and distribute those, but we were hoping for an easier method. One idea I had was to somehow get the CD mounted, then select the "Install from a mounted filesystem" option, but I can't seem to get it to mount the CD! Boy do I miss the "fixit" floppy! ;) Thanks for any help. -- Jeff Aitken jaitken@cs.vt.edu From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 29 13:08:56 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id NAA22494 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 29 Aug 1995 13:08:56 -0700 Received: from iguana.ruralnet.net (iguana.ruralnet.net [205.198.192.2]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id NAA22487 for ; Tue, 29 Aug 1995 13:08:49 -0700 Received: (from newsham@localhost) by iguana.ruralnet.net (8.6.9/8.6.9) id OAA02754 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Tue, 29 Aug 1995 14:17:13 -0600 Date: Tue, 29 Aug 1995 14:17:13 -0600 From: "Newsham Hybrids (USA) Inc."

Perhaps the EtherEZ was new enough that no one had started using it. As you will note, this is not a solution to the problem, but it might help you find one! ------------ Hi, I've been trying to get FreeBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE to work using an SMC8416BT (Ether EZ) card, but with no luck so far. My first attempt uncovered a problem in the ed_probe routine which incorrectly tries to determine what type of card it is (8216C or 8416C/BT). The card is now correctly detected, but upon frame transmission, I get a kernel panic. I'd like to get this driver working for this card. Any help would be appreciated. I've included the necessary patch to make this work properly. On many clone PC buses, a read on memory locations with no RAM will return the the address, IE: A read at 0xD2000 will return 0. This was confusing the probe code to think that the card was an 8216.

When I first tried majordomo I had a very similar effect. I traced it down to the attempt by majordomo to execute real-time deliveries of the mail. Several sendmail processes were getting created simultaneously. I modified the alias that executes the resend to use an additional sendmail flag (-odq). This queues the mail for later delivery. If you have a lot of activity on your list then you probably need to do this. This is especially important if you have a lot of subscribers that are on slow link hosts.

You also will need to set up tftpd and have a NFS-exported root for each machine. Check the FreeBSD Handbook and/or FAQ. One or both has a section on booting diskless in this manner.

Now, I'm setting up a full-time link through another (cheaper) provider (SCruz-Net). However, I'm keeping my original account, and would like to connect to it occasionally (primarily for the Clarinet newsgroups, which SCruz-Net doesn't carry.) Since Netcom only allows NNTP access to their PPP and SLIP based accounts, I'd like to continue to make my on-demand connections; but via telnet. This raises a couple of questions. 1. Will Netcom allow me to telnet into my PNC accound. (Consider this question rhetorical - I'll find out if I can get the others answered.) 2. Is there any documentation on the tun device? 3. Is there any documentation on setting up PPP-over-telnet or PPP-over-TCP, except for the four lines at the bottom of the ppp.conf.sample file? 4. (For the real wizards...) Is there any way I could just make the NNTP connection using my Netcom PPP address, but routing through my new connection? (This would enable me to avoid the PPP-over-telnet issue entirely...) Note that the Netcom PPP address is on a Netcom class C network... Thanks, -Pat My opinions are my own. For a small royalty, they can be yours as well...

The situation now is that the machine is running with 8 modems, so things look reasonable, *but* it freezes every few days, with the BocaBoard left in a strange state that sometimes requires a powerdown [it didn't freeze before we added the BB2016 and 2 more modems] This system is running an old snapshot from early February (with a couple of patches to fix crashes). Has sio improved any in 2.0.5? (I haven't upgraded since I didn't think it would help much). Anyway, I'd appreciate any advice you may have.

We looking at the same man pages? You don't say if you're running 2.0.5, but if you are, your problem is straightforward. I can't speak for the 2.0R and previous releases.. > device sio2 at isa? port 0x100 tty flags 0x205 irq 11 vector siointr ^^^^^^^^^^ Here's your problem, I'd bet - this belongs at the LAST port, not the first. I don't recall the flags off the top of my head, but I'm sending you my How-To sheet in another message (this list has now seen it once and it's slated for the handbook, so I don't want to waste everyone's storage space.

No, same flag for all 16. It's really irrelevant - from the man sio page: flags 0xb05 means that the 12th port (sio11) is the master port, and that the port is on a multiport card with shared IRQs and no special IRQ con- trol register. Which port is the master port depends on the card type. Consult the hardware documentation of your card. Since IRQ status registers are nev- er used, and IRQ control registers are only used for AST/4 compatible cards, and some cards map the control/status registers to all ports in a group, any port in a group will sometimes do for the master port. Choose a port containing an IRQ status register for forwards compatibility, and the highest possible port for consistency. **** The since the Boca doesn't use an AST compatible setup, it's really irrelevant. In fact, my current kernel config is incorrect, pointing at the second port of my Boca, and it works fine. The man page suggests you set it to the last port for consistancy. Seems unlikely you're gonna get an sio update with the same kernel, but who knows... The 05 part of the flags are definately correct, however. > This system is running an old snapshot from early February (with a couple > of patches to fix crashes). Has sio improved any in 2.0.5? (I haven't > upgraded since I didn't think it would help much). Oops! You _did_ say what rev... lemmie look at my 2.0 april snap... Well, unless the sio driver changed from the feb snap to the april snap, they're the same.

You're almost there - do a man ftpd and look at the last 3 or 4 screenfulls of text. They describe what needs to be there, and from my memory you've got almost all of it. Probably one tweak will do the job for you. wu-ftpd is also available in the ports tree if you want something a little snazzier and with more logging and assorted crud. More work to set up though.

(The main thing that convinced me was the kernel configure that's almost identical to SunOS 4.1.3) I tried 5 times yesterday to install FreeBSD 2.1.0-950726-SNAP. Each time the install over FTP went fine,(even though it took forever over my 28.8k modem) but when it came to booting the system from the HD, it would lock up looking something like this: ------------- >> FreeBSD [Stuff I don't remember deleted] Boot: | -------------- Then the computer was completely frozen. I was told on #FreeBSD that the problem sounded like it originated with my hard drive controller. I've tried every setting, and every configuration on the controller and it still did the same exact thing when trying to boot from the HD.. Is this controller just incompatable with FreeBSD, or am I doing something horribly wrong? I tried setting it up with the boot manager AND the standard MBR also.. Also, when installing I ran into another problem. When sysinstall went to write the fdisk info to wd0, it would crash saying something like this: ------ sysinstall: read input/output error panic: running away without my init! ------ It then would force a reboot. I don't know what caused it, but if I erased the partition table and started over, it seemed to work. Could this be related to the HDC too? I refuse to go out and spend $80+ on a new EIDE controller, so I'm willing to help out in any way I can on getting this to work.

Quick thing to try (assuming that you haven't blown away that FreeBSD partition yet). Boot from the boot floppy again, but instead of hitting return at the `boot:' prompt try this: boot: hd(0,a)/kernel (or) boot: wd(0,a)/kernel And let us know if it comes up. If so, it's the boot blocks getting spooged somehow. If not, it may be because your root partition is somehow past cylinder 1024? You don't say what else is on the disk, if anything.

There is a jumper on the card. I did that when I first loaded 2.0 and it worked fine. I haven't changed the jumper since, so I don't know if the 2300+ bios works with the newer FreeBSD boot scheme.

The partition is already gone, but I had tried that several times anyways. I tried from the floppy and from the HD.. It did the same thing each time. FreeBSD was on a 515MB HD with 1048 cylinders.. I tried it with LBA mode on and off. The FreeBSD partitions were at the front of the disk, so being past cylinder 1024 shouldn't have been a problem. This is how I have things layed out: HD0 is a Western Digital AC2250F 250M HD. CHS=1010/9/55 HD1 is a Western Digital AC2540H 515M HD. CHS=1048/16/63 With LBA off CHS=524/32/63 with LBA on. > You don't say what else is on the disk, if anything. Linux and Win95 used to be, but I wiped those out when I installed FreeBSD.

Well, that's still not assured if you create one big root partition; then it's sort of a guess as to where it's going to stick the kernel image. It sounds to me like the BIOS is unable, for one reason or another, to read your kernel image. That's why it hangs. You should also definitely have LBA mode off. Try this (with LBA off): Install DOS on just a small (5MB or so) chunk at the beginning. You may find this chunk useful in the future anyway since you can put DOS based diagnostics and such there. Now install FreeBSD on the rest of the space, allowing it to get the geometry from the DOS partition. Let me know what happens.

Just how I acomplished this was by moving the directory sbin to another name. Everything is still on the disk, just not in the proper location.

When I try "fixit, disklabel, proceed" the system aborts when it finds the root directory already has "/stand". I do not want to try "fixit, fdisk, disklabel, proceed" because it will newfs all of the partitions that are specified, and blow away the whole hard drive.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I recently (this week) purchased FreeBSD Release 2.0.5 through Walnut Creek. I am having a problem getting the default kernel to recognize my SCSI controller. The sequence is this: 1. Make the boot floppy. 2. Boot the floppy and enter '-c' for config. 3. Device uha0 (UltraStore 34F localbus) defaults to port 0x330. 4. Mine is set to port 0x230. 5. I use the command 'port uha0 0x230' to reset the port. 6. Issue the command 'probe uha0' and comes back with good status. 7. Issue the 'ls' command and device uha0 shows ok. 8. Any further activity on that device causes the device to change to uha1 with the error message device number too high. This can be verified by simply issuing a second 'probe uha0' command. This should not happen. Device uha0 should now respond on port 0x230 and not turn into device uha1. And yes, because of another hardware conflict, I need to have the UltraStore on port 0x230.

I disabled the external BIOS on the EIDE controller like a few people had mentioned to me, and that seems to have worked. The only problem I had is that it doesn't write the MBR properly. I get a "NO ROM BASIC, SYSTEM HALTED" on boot.. So I boot from the floppy with the wd(1,a)/kernel thing and it works fine. I had only installed the bin and manpages packages, so the system was too limited to use much. Though at least I know it works now. I'm going to stick with Linux for now, and order the FreeBSD CD from Walnut Creek when I get some extra money. BTW, it'd probably be a good idea to compile support for PPP(So pppd can be used instead of that archaic ppp program) into the GENERIC kernel. Also, there's a really kewl thing for Linux that I don't think I could live without called gpm. If you're not familiar with it, what it does is lets you copy and paste stuff on a text screen with the mouse. It's wonderful for those hard to type or rediculously long filenames.

The problem is related to packages, and appears to manifest itself whenever I attempt to install a package that is dependant on something that I have yet to install. When this happens, pkg_add claims to not install the package; yet it still records an entry in /var/db/pkg/. What's this got to do with libraries ? The problem seems to occur when I install the packages in the proper order again, even after (manually) deleting the botched dependant package. After everything is installed OK, I get this error (from a dodgy tcl/tk installation) ld.so: wish: libtk.so.3.6: Undefined error: 0 This has happened to me on several occasions, and frankly, I'm baffled. Any ideas ? My apologies if this is an obvious thing or is in a man page somewhere...

What seems to be the trouble? A question then from another user with difficulties: I have an SC-402 with an Archive 2150L drive connected to it, and my problem is that I can't get the drive to stream. It does much "shoe shinning" and is it takes a long time to get anything off of it. I'm running FreeBSD 2.0.5-R on a 486/33 with 16MB of ram. If I turn off turbo mode on the machine, the forward motion of the tape gets even smaller. I've tried using all sorts of block sizes to try and get it to stream, but no luck! Are there any tunable parameters for this drive, or is my motherboard's DMA system kinda broken?

My apologies if this is an obvious thing or is in a man page > somewhere... It's not all that bad, I think I can explain. In current (2.2) there's been a new flag added to ldconfig, the -m flag. Ldconfig writes a file to /var/run called ld.so.hints, that tells the system info on finding the right shared libraries, and the -m flag (for merge) lets one add the info on a single new library. When you got that error, the system was saying that your version of ldconfig didn't know about the -m flag, but the package was correctly installed. You could have gotten past that ld.so error return by two methods: rebooting, or (as root) running ldconfig again. All of my libs are in /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib, or /usr/X11R6/lib, so before I began running current, I used the line ldconfig /usr/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/X11R6/lib to get past that error. It oughta work for you. Alternatively, to get rid of the error message on installing the port, just go into the Makefile for the port, find the line with "ldconfig" on it, and delete it. You'll still ahve to manually adjust your ldconfig, as I showed above, but you won't get those errors on install anymore. This info is for the ports for 2.0.5R only, because the ones in current work far better.

I noticed just this evening that I'm getting a "TRANS(SocketUNIXConnect) () can't connect: errno = 61" error when exiting my editor back to Pine when composing a message. It's difficult to catch because Pine immediately redraws the screen, but I used screen's log function to capture it. According to /usr/include/sys/errno.h, 61 is a "connection refused". I'm wondering what kind of connection was attempted and why it was refused? I'm running Pine 3.91 on FreeBSD 2.0.5 set up to fire up vim 3.00 as the editor (enable-alternate-editor-implicitly). Mail is read from an IMAP server running on a remote Sparc20 (Solaris 2.4). The error message is printed by someone whenever I exit vim and back into Pine. This does not seem to affect anything, but I'd sleep better at night if someone could tell me what is causing this. ;-) -- Brian ("Though this be madness, yet there is method in't") Tao taob@gate.sinica.edu.tw <-- work ........ play --> taob@io.org From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Aug 31 08:36:40 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id IAA10393 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 31 Aug 1995 08:36:40 -0700 Received: from gate.ti.com (news.ti.com [192.94.94.33]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id IAA10387 for ; Thu, 31 Aug 1995 08:36:38 -0700 Received: from robin.itg.ti.com ([128.247.31.238]) by gate.ti.com (8.6.12/) with ESMTP id KAA03067 for ; Thu, 31 Aug 1995 10:36:06 -0500 Received: from sparcplug.itg.ti.com (sparcplug.itg.ti.com [128.247.95.222]) by robin.itg.ti.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with SMTP id KAA08227 for ; Thu, 31 Aug 1995 10:31:26 -0500 Received: by sparcplug.itg.ti.com (5.x/SMI-SVR4) id AA25987; Thu, 31 Aug 1995 10:29:54 -0500 Date: Thu, 31 Aug 1995 10:29:54 -0500 From: lonnie@sparcplug.itg.ti.com (Lonnie Lewis) Message-Id: <9508311529.AA25987@sparcplug.itg.ti.com> To: questions@FreeBSD.org X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Have installed the binary, man page, and X11 packages on two machine Gateway Pentium P5 90 ATI Card MACH64 32 meg memory 3c509b ethernet card 2940 adaptec SCSI PS/2 style mouse NEC XE17 Question.

If you're running 2.0.5R all you need to do is cd /etc/namedb sh make-localhost ... answer the questions ... named In your /etc/sysconfig you'll want to change the line namedflags="NO" to namedflags="-b /etc/namedb/named.boot" If you're running pre-V2.0.5 you have to create a bunch of files, but they are pretty standard. First, make a directory to hold the config files (that way you don't clutter up /etc): mkdir /etc/namedb Then create the file /etc/namedb/named.boot that contains something like: directory /etc/namedb cache . named.root primary 0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA localhost.rev This is the main configuration file for the named program (which implements bind). The first line tells named to find all its files in directory "/etc/namedb". The second tells named where to find the root (".") name servers - in this case file "/etc/namedb/named.root". The third line makes the named primary for the reverse lookup on the "127.0.0.1" domain for your host; this is required for some packages to work correctly. Next create file "/etc/namedb/named.root", containing the following: ; named.root,v 1.2 1995/03/23 08:43:03 rgrimes Exp ; ; This file holds the information on root name servers needed to ; initialize cache of Internet domain name servers ; (e.g. reference this file in the "cache .

NIC.NORDU.NET. 99999999 A 192.36.148.17 ; End of File Basically what you're doing here is hard-wiring the addresses for the root name servers. If one of these servers is "closer" to you (e.g. if you're on SURANet "terp.umd.edu" tends to be closer routing-wise to you) you probably want to move the entry for that name server to the head of the list. The next step is to create the file "/etc/namedb/localhost.rev" which should contain @ IN SOA .. root... ( 1 ; Serial 3600 ; Refresh 300 ; Retry 3600000 ; Expire 3600 ) ; Minimum IN NS .. 1 IN PTR localhost.. Where "" is the domain part of your host name, and "" is the host part. For example, if your computer is called "myhost.mydomain.edu" you would have @ IN SOA myhost.mydomain.edu. root.myhost.mydomain.edu. ( 1 ; Serial 3600 ; Refresh 300 ; Retry 3600000 ; Expire 3600 ) ; Minimum IN NS myhost.mydomain.edu. 1 IN PTR localhost.mydomain.edu. BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU PUT THE TRAILING "."s!! They are very important - they tell the name server that you are fully specifying the name. Without the trailing dot for example the "IN PTR" line would change from "localhost.mydomain.edu" to "localhost.mydomain.edu.mydomain.edu", which clearly you don't want to have happen... Once you've created all the files you should just be able to run the named daemon: named -b /etc/namedb/named.boot and *POOF* you're a caching only name server!! Of course you want to add this to your startup files; just look and see if named is mentioned anywhere and make the proper changes to start it; probably you should have something like if [ -f /etc/namedb/named.boot ] ; then named -b /etc/named/namedb.boot ; echo -n " named " fi This checks to see if the file "/etc/namedb/named.boot" exists and if it does it launches named with the named.boot file as its bootfile.

These cards seem to be compatible with European ISDN standards. However, I do not know whether these are compatible with Austrian telecom standards (but I guess I could look it up; somebody around here should know.) On the other hand, there are some external, so called ISDN modems, which talk to the computer via RS-232 and answer to the Hayes compatible modem command set. These go up to 115 k async. Thirdly, ether to ISDN bridges also exist. > Same question for X25.

I don't know for sure, but I think I've seen something about X.25 in the kernel sources. Didn't investigate it, though, as I have absolutely no use for it. > If somebody has info about drivers, stability, protocls, and/or can point > me where to find ? > Also I would like to ask, under which conditions we can use this system > commercially.

Parts of the kernel are licensed to the user under two, different, licenses. Most of the kernel is under Berkeley style copyright/license which allows you to do whatever you wish with those parts, as long as you give credit to the original authors. You can sell the binaries only, you can incorpo- rate sources into your own products, etc. Some other parts, unfortunately also the drivers for Dr. Neuhaus cards, are under GNU General Public License. This one requires that you give away the source to the derived program (in this case the kernel as a whole) if it uses parts of GPL licensed code, in the case that the derived program is distributed. This means that you cannot really sell binaries only, and you cannot sell/distribute even parts of the system which are binary only (proprietary drivers, for instance.) You can use them as you wish for your own purposes, however. As far as I know, there are no parts of the system that prevent the use of it in commercial environment. Some ported applications (ports, not packages) may have such restrictions. These applications are, within the framework of FreeBSD, distributed only as patches to the original distributions, and are not packaged (neither as binaries, nor sources.) > Which are the suggested Pci Ehtercards, are they stable enough ? Drivers for cards based on Digital chips are excellent. These come in 10Mbps and 100Mbps varieties. > Please mail also directly, cause I am not on the list. > Thanks for Your help, anton Hope it helps, /Alby > PS: I just started to use 2.0.5 privatly, and like to say its GREAT work.

Ther may also be a conflict with the matcd driver which has a hard-wired table of ports { 0x230, 0x240, 0x250, 0x260 }. This table is used if the port in the config is `?', i.e., -1, as it is in the GENERIC config. The matcd config is done after the uha config, so it might unprogram the uha.

(What is a CP anyway?) The following patch makes the possibly rash assumption that any board rev greater than 0x42 requires this operation. That seems to be the pattern with all new Adaptec boards. NOTE: A fix for this is probably needed for 2.1 since any new Adaptec 1542C is likely to be common. Please test this and report back if you can.

My system looks like this: * Pentium-90; 16Mb RAM; 256K cache * ASUS P/I-P55TP4XE motherboard with Triton chipset & Award 4.50PG BIOS (previous MB died, this is my new one) w/onboard IDE, FDC, 2S/1P * ATI Mach64 video w/2Mb * NCR 8150S PCI SCSI card (based on 53c815 chip - same as 810, but with it's own onboard BIOS instead of relying on the MB having it) * SoundBlaster AWE 32 (IRQ 5) * network card that can do NE2000 or WD emulation (I've got it set for NE2000) (IRQ 10) * Seagate 1Gb IDE drive (31220N...I don't remember for sure) * Quantum 1.4Gb Empire SCSI drive * Toshiba 3501 4x CDROM drive * (external & powered off thru all this) Exabyte EXB-8200 8mm tape drive * old Gateway-2000 keyboard (I keep meaning to swap it for one of the newer ones that I have access to) I think that's all the relevant stuff (and not-so-relevant). I have had the discs laid out like this (as reported by pfdisk): IDE disk: C/H/S BIOS=524/64/63; Controller=2099/16/63 # ID 1st Last Name Start,length My comment 1 6 0 189 DOSbi 63,766017 C:\ 2 165 190 249 unkno 766080,241920 fbsd root & swap? 3 6 250 523 DOSbi 1008000,1104768 E:\ 4 0 0 0 empty 0,0 SCSI disk: C/H/S=1009/43/63 1 6 0 90 DOSbi 63,246456 D:\ 2 165 91 165 unkno 246519,203175 fbsd swap & more? 3 165 166 506 unkno 449694,923769 fbsd /usr 4 131 507 1008 unkno 1373463,1359918 Linux I've tried various combinations of deleting sd0s2 & sd0s3, then creating a sd0s2, but that left me without a sd0s3 at all, which I thought might have caused a problem (having partitions 1,2,4 with no 3). My original intent was to do this: ** have / & some misc stuff on the wd0s2 slice. ** use the sd0s2 slice as a swap partition for both Linux & FreeBSD. Presumably this would involve laying a disklabel on it (I seem to remember Joerg Wunsch describing this recently) from /etc/rc* somewhere. ** use the sd0s3 slice for my /usr partition. ** eventually, when my paranoid visions of everything blowing up in my face go away, either reduce the size of or eliminate the Linux partition and use it for FreeBSD instead. Now, some of the things I've been noticing through various installation attempts with either 2 partitions or 1 partition on sd0 and using different boot methods (either booteasy, os-bs20b8 or fbsdboot - all as shipped on the 2.0.5 CD). 1) I got the error involving EMM386 when I tried to use the INSTALL.BAT on the CD. I commented out my 'EMM386 NOEMS' line in config.sys...I just inherited that line from someone else's setup & don't really understand what it's for. I guess I will when something else blows up. 2) Booting with INSTALL.BAT ('fbsdboot -D kernel') hangs after the initial "Text=..." line. So, I created a floppy & boot from that no problem. 3) When I 'q' out of the FreeBSD fdisk editor for my wd0 disk, I get the message box saying "Max one 'fat' allowed as child of 'whole'". Is this a remnant of pre-slice code? (should I be worried about the error?) 4) Upon booting, I get mountmsdosfs(): root dir is not a multiple of clustersize in length Is that something to worry about? 5) At one point, when booting I got a bunch of errors that looked something like this: mem: Bad File Descriptor for a bunch of the files in /dev. After I got in, I could do an 'ls' of /dev and see the names, but doing an 'ls -l' produced the above error. Reinstalled OS. 6) At one point, I booted and the /dev directory was gone, somehow. Reinstalled OS. 7) Generally, when done with installation and doing the reboot gets the 'done' on syncing the disks, but it hangs. I have to hit the Reset button to get the reboot thru. Could this be a symptom of some problem? 8) I've noticed several odd pauses...I think it was due to the ed1 probe finding my SoundBlaster card at IRQ 5. Now I try to do UserConfig to do 'irq ed1 10'. 9) My next-to-last installation started screwing up after I'd installed my own kernel (cp GENERIC MYKERNEL & only comment out a few devices - like network cards I'm not using - and change ed1 to irq 10). It boots through all the probes, then dies when it can't find /bin/sh. No /bin/sh kinda puts a crimp in the boot process. :-( Reinstall. 10) My latest installation was to try putting the root on my sd0 instead of wd0 (thinking maybe there's a problem in the difference between the BIOS & controller geometries, maybe I can boot from sd0). I haven't quite gotten this one to boot yet...maybe my root wasn't in the compatibility slice? But os-bs is set to the partition, but the boot fails. I need to investigate this one more. 11) The BIOS has some "green" features...should I disable the IDE HDD power down modes? Should I do anything with any of the other BIOS settings? I've been trying enough variations that my mind is going numb, so I figured I'd make a plea for some suggestions on ways to focus my efforts here. This is my first attempt at doing anything with FreeBSD, so maybe I'm misunderstanding something, forgetting some little detail or something. Any suggestions, pleas for additional details would be greatly appreciated!

Is there a simple easy to use utility that will: 1. Partition the disk (ie: fdisk) 2. Create and install a sane disklabel. Disklabel has been giving me all sorts of wierd errors from ioctl: DIOCWDLABEL and DIOCWDINFO about read-only file systems, possible shrinking file systems and Operation not supported. Under freebsd 2.0, sysinstall allowed you to partition a disk and label it without doing anything else. Under 2.0.5, you have to commit the operation, and then it installed onto WD0 after explicitly asking for it do work on WD1.

Hey...when grasping at straws, even the slightly out-of-the-ordinary gets a second look. Hmmm...now that you mention it, I could swear I saw the phrase "invalid partition table" at some point during all of this, but definitely not when I was collecting geometry and partitioning numbers for my plea for help. > > ** have / & some misc stuff on the wd0s2 slice. > > ** use the sd0s2 slice as a swap partition for both Linux & FreeBSD. > > Presumably this would involve laying a disklabel on it (I seem to remember > > Joerg Wunsch describing this recently) from /etc/rc* somewhere. > no.. to use the whole slice, > you just need to add a line in your fstab for /dev/sd0s2 > (do it after you're installed) > don't label it..

Yup...the disklabel process in in the installation procedure takes care of that. I DO manage to get everything installed - the trouble is that things go loopy shortly thereafter. I even got as far as snagging some of my config files for UUCP/cu and dialing out at one point.

If you are using Pine 3.91 you can set the user domain in the setup to put the domain of your ISP and then use a login with the same name as your login on the ISP. That is how I have been doing my mail (and how I am replying to this right now). If you are using a different mail program I don't know (but I am sure someone does). Anyway hope this helps and is what you were asking. --- Duane ____________________________________________________________________________ Duane Ellison duane@gargamel.ptw.com Edwards, California http://gargamel.ptw.com/~duane From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Aug 31 22:41:32 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id WAA13558 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 31 Aug 1995 22:41:32 -0700 Received: from cc.jyu.fi (cc.jyu.fi [130.234.1.3]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with SMTP id WAA13552 for ; Thu, 31 Aug 1995 22:41:29 -0700 Received: from [130.234.41.39] (zaphod.maccc.jyu.fi) by cc.jyu.fi with SMTP id AA14522 (5.67a/IDA-1.4.4 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org); Fri, 1 Sep 1995 08:44:21 +0300 X-Sender: kallio@pop.jyu.fi Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Fri, 1 Sep 1995 08:45:38 +0300 To: "Andrew Webster" , freebsd-questions@freebsd.org From: kallio@jyu.fi (Seppo Kallio) Subject: Re: How to add a 2nd disk Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk At 17:44 31/8/95, Andrew Webster wrote: >I've been banging my head against the wall for the past hour trying to add >a 2nd IDE drive to an existing FreeBSD 2.0.5 system, and just > >Under freebsd 2.0, sysinstall allowed you to partition a disk and label it >without doing anything else.

You can add additional dists by using the following: su cat $PATH_TO_DIST/manpages.* | tar xfzp - For example, if you're installing off the cdrom: su cat /cdrom/dists/manpages/manpages.* | tar xfzp - If I'm not mistaken, the later snapshots have a more robust sysinstall that allows you to do this sort of thing.

Sure, this works. However, what if the new disk happens to be the 5th disk (the floppy kernel only supports sd1-sd4) and the installer doesn't want to temporarily remove one of the disks? This could be done in 2.0 - and it's gotta be possible in 2.0.5, it just does not appear to be documented very well.

I think that the FAQ should definately contain something to the effect of adding disks to a system, and maybe eventually an "adddisk" program like SCO & Others have.

Cc: questions@freebsd.org Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Recently I had trouble getting Netscape to run. The symptoms were that Netscape would startup, however as soon as I selected the Options menu, it would pop down and then the entire X Window session would hang (can't change focus, iconify anything, etc). Well, after a bit of work I finally tracked down what the problem was. I'm hoping that someone can shed some light on why things are happening this way. First, the fundamental problem was my network was not setup totally correct. Even though the host.conf file lists "hosts" and then "bind" apparently Netscape ignores that and only queries the DNS server. My problem was I defined my machine name "zorak" to be 127.0.0.1 even though the DNS stuff has a real IP address. The theory (okay so I'm probably thin in the head) is I want anything addressed to my machine to just go to the localhost. True, a route setup correctly would handle this for me. However my only connection to the internet is via a ppp session that is not always active. I often use the system without connecting to the net so I haven't gotten around to setting everything up totally correctly (actually I have questions about this and iijppp that I'll need to follow up on). In any case, Netscape would query my DNS stuff and get the proper IP address and then try to connect to it. Bingo instant hang. Why this happens is a bit of a mystery. Don't you normally get "No Route to host" type of messages? Of course, now that we have the tunnel devices real connections can get a bit gray. In any case, I've found that if I have any active links/sockets open over a tunnel/ppp device and the telephone line hangs up for some reason the application hangs completely. It doesn't learn about the closing of the link. Hmmm. It's especially bad if I launch an X windows app from a remote system directed to my PC at home. If the link goes down there is nothing I can do (at least I haven't figured it out) to kill the window. The only thing I've found so far is to go back to CTRL/ALT/F1 and issue a KILL -KILL on the process. However alot of times the window manager gets screwed up and then I have to do a CTRL/ALT/BS to kill X. Yuk. Any thoughts or ideas from anyone. This is a change from V1.1.5.1 which would allow graceful dropping of the apps. The system I have is a P100 running FreeBSD V2.0.5-R with XFree86 V3.1.

I blew away init To: questions@FreeBSD.org In-Reply-To: Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Well for anyone who is interested, there is an answer here. I know what I did was relly dumb, but that is how I learn stuff. Creating a boot floppy which will also contain a single user root file system is quite a trick. First you will need a kernel - the smallest possable. If you have access to a kernel source tree, create one which has the minimum you will need to mount your hard disk. Tough to do if your root file system is blown away, this may be something you will want to set up for emergencies! Use the pseudo-device 'gzip' so that you can have the support programs on the floppy compressed. (Who cares about performance now!) The floppy disk will need three directories, /dev, /bin, /sbin. In /dev you will have to have all your device nodes. These are small so you can afford to have quite a variety. Next you will need to have a copy of init in /sbin, and a copy of sh in /bin. Most importantly you will need a copy of mount and umount along with fsck to get access to the hard disk for repairs. If you have the pseudo-device 'gzip' in your kernel, these can be gzipped. By this point the floppy will be filling up, possably overfull. The question here is how can we allow for a floppy disk change following bootup and before init does a chroot to the floppy? I have seen boot disks do this, they will pause and request that a root floppy be placed in the drive. This two disk alternative would provide much more space. With this skeletal setup, the trick is to boot the floppy and try to mount something which will provide you with much support. A cdrom is nice, so is another floppy disk. One more thing that I noticed during this exercise is that init announced that it was changing to root device fd0c. So when I setup the floppy, for the 10th time, I edited the disk label to have partition c equivalent to partition a.

I now feel compelled to add: Besides, it's gotten hard to find slow hardware lately, so I could argue that there's no value in optimizing for speed. One value in optimizing for size--especially where the user sees no detectable impact on speed--is OBVIOUSLY in reduced cost. And that OBVIOUSLY remains true as costs decline overall. The typical microcomputer of around 1980 would practically fit inside a wristwatch today, and cost about two dollars, assuming you could figure out how to interact with it. As I heard it, the 386BSD project was started in 1989 because people saw value in the reduced cost of the PC, versus other hardware platforms. Another value is in making room: for enhanced usability, new capability, and simply more data. As I heard it, that's what computers are all about. --Jim Howard From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Sep 1 14:48:25 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id OAA20538 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 1 Sep 1995 14:48:25 -0700 Received: from sed.cs.fsu.edu (sed.cs.fsu.edu [128.186.121.157]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id OAA20532 for ; Fri, 1 Sep 1995 14:48:24 -0700 Received: by sed.cs.fsu.edu (8.6.9/56) id RAA27191; Fri, 1 Sep 1995 17:48:22 -0400 From: Gang-Ryung Uh Message-Id: <199509012148.RAA27191@sed.cs.fsu.edu> Subject: disklabel To: questions@FreeBSD.org Date: Fri, 1 Sep 1995 17:48:21 -0400 (EDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 1875 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi. I have a Pentium PC which is running 2.0.5R FreeBSD. Because of this PC with such a good bsd 4.4 system, I can do more work at home than school. But I have one unsolved problem, that is the 'disklabel'. But it does not cause any severe problem (?) though. My PC has a Buslogic BT946c FAST SCSI PCI adapter with Conner 1.0.6GB SCSI-2 disk. I repartitioned the disk such that about 400Mbytes for DOS and 600Mbytes for FreeBSD using fdisk. And I sliced the FreeBSD partition using FreeBSD sysinstall utility. Now if I issue "disklabel sd0", then I get following strange output: --------------------------------------------------------------------- # /dev/rsd0c: type: SCSI disk: sd0s2 label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 32 tracks/cylinder: 64 sectors/cylinder: 2048 cylinders: 613 sectors/unit: 1255424 rpm: 0 interleave: 0 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 81920 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 39) b: 67584 1187840 swap # (Cyl. 580 - 612) c: 1255424 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 612) e: 819200 81920 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 40 - 439) f: 204800 901120 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 440 - 539) g: 81920 1105920 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 540 - 579) Warning, revolutions/minute 0 super block size 0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Would you tell me why I get the Warning, revolutions/minute 0 and Super block size 0?

We'll look into it. Another person let me know what the problem was, I just forgot to flag a partition active. It might be a good idea to add something to the sysinstall to check if there's a freebsd partition flagged active for airheads like me who always forget about that stuff. :) > Excuse me? The ppp program is actually a fair bit more ADVANCED than > the kernel ppp! It's hardly archaic. Sorry, I didn't quite mean it the way I said it.. Actually, my use of archaic was a BIT too harsh and I apologize. I'm just used to using pppd. I'm basically just used to using Linux and how it operates things. I can connect with pppd (on linux at least) with just "/usr/lib/ppp/pppd /dev/cua1 38400 crtscts connect '/usr/lib/ppp/chat -v -t 60 -f /scripts/script' defaultroute". Setting up all of those /etc/ppp/ppp.* files just seemed a bit foreign to me. (And not to mention difficult since I don't know all that much about the networking side.) The FreeBSD handbook section on PPP was helpful though. My problems with the iijppd program are probably mostly because I didn't RTFM. It comes down to that if I'm going to use FreeBSD, I'm going to have to learn how a REAL UNIX handles this stuff. :) > > Also, there's a really kewl thing for Linux that I don't think I could > > live without called gpm.

I've got plenty of time, but I am severely lacking knowledge in the areas of the FreeBSD console mouse support, and most importantly, C. I can usually play around with programs that won't compile here on my Linux system and get them to compile about 70% of the time, but that's about the extent of my programming knowledge. Do you know of any good UNIX C books that would be good for FreeBSD? I REALLY need to learn C.. Thanks for all of the help you've given me on getting FreeBSD working. I really appreciate it. I'm getting to the point where I just want to forget about getting the CD and just FTP the stuff I need to my DOS partition and install it from there. :) The User/X distribution with the kernel sources should fit compressed in about 60 megs, right? And on that, is there anything that tells what the different packages are? Like I know that the bin.* is the base system, manpages.* are (duh) the manpages, and ssys.* is the kernel sources. That'll ALL I know though.

For those curious at the degree of vitriol involved here, he spammed our lists about 2 weeks ago with some question. I asked him (nicely - everybody gets at least one chance) in personal email to please not send mail to every single list we have when one would do just fine. He did not reply, which didn't particularly bother me, but then a week later he went and did it AGAIN and that certainly did! I sent him yet another mail asking him just what his problem was, and he did not reply. Another FreeBSD project member did the same and was rewarded with a faceful of acid for it about this man's "rights to post whatever the heck he wanted". The project member then contacted the man's site administrator and I'm not sure if any action was taken, but I finally got a message from Maher saying that he wanted his "Q&A privileges back" and I told him that he had hardly earned the privilege coming just one week after spamming us for the second time and he then told me, in no uncertain terms, to "fuck off." Hardly words guaranteed to win friends and influence people, especially when you're asking them to donate their time and energy to solve your problem. We will investigate whatever loophole in majordomo allowed this post to make it onto our lists and close it. In the meantime, I respectfully suggest that everyone just ignore this person and maybe he'll get the hint and go away. It's sad that a volunteer group which donates such significant amounts of time to helping people should have to suffer this kind of abuse. It makes you wonder how some people were raised as children!

(hope that's what you're running) if not, just get a 2.0.5 boot floppy, as you won't be installing anything, it doesn't matter.. boot the install disk don't repartion the disk, just mark the found partitions with their correct mountpoints (you only have to get / right) do an istall of a 'custom' installation.. select 'games' or something to install (not bin) (make sure you have NOT got the filesystems marked for newfs) as you proceed into the install. the 'hollographic shell' will appear in window 3 (or is that 4?) move to that window, and zap your password :) (or change /etc/ttys) you may want to mount usr and var as well, but I don't know if that is needed.. remember that the holographic shell is chroot'd to the hard-disk, so you are effectively root on the hard-disk at this point..

Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Recently I joined a company who has a HP Laserjet 4. I use dvilj4 to produce foo.lj. However, some characters are missing in the printout. Does someone have the same experience? I badly need help. Any hints would be appreciated. I have dvi2xx-0.51a9. If someone can tell me he/she has no problem with dvilj4 and HP laserjet 4, I would appreciate it, too. Thanks in advance Tianlin Wang
