Tarr" Subject: upgrading to 2.1.0RELEASE Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I just attempted to upgrade my computer my the snapshot of 2.1 to the release version. The problem I'm having is that I am using a 'de0' ethernet card, this is not listed in the config on the floppy. So, I disabled all the network cards and it 'finds' the card, and configures it. I went throught the entire process up to where it tries to then read the network and then the install fails, saying it "couldn't resolve ftp.freebsd.org". The network I'm on is working fine, however this message seemed to me to be thst the card was failing. This is the same card I am using presently and that works great. If you have any information about theis problem? I would like to move my computer up the the release.

Is there a document somewhere that describes the major changes between 2.0.5 and 2.1.0? I'm not looking for something that excruciatingly describes all changes down to each line-by-line source code change, but a few paragraphs would be nice. Being told, "Just do it -- it's good for you", isn't particularly informative. Note that I'm playing devil's advocate here, as I've already decided to migrate to 2.1.0. As far as I can tell from rummaging through the 2.1.0 README files, there isn't anything that describes the major changes. Why should users migrate to 2.1.0? Is there anything that could entice some dissatisfied Linux users to FreeBSD?

IRIX comes with a defragmenter (file system reorganizer): /usr/etc/fsr DESCRIPTION fsr improves the organization of mounted file systems. The reorganization algorithm operates on one file at a time, compacting or otherwise improving the layout of the file extents (contiguous blocks of file data) while simultaneously compacting the file system free space. Is it just the Berkeley fast filesystem that doesn't need a defragger or all Unix filesystems in general? -Scott From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 20 10:44:20 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id KAA27304 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 20 Nov 1995 10:44:20 -0800 Received: from bubba.tribe.com ([205.184.207.7]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id KAA27295 for ; Mon, 20 Nov 1995 10:44:18 -0800 Received: (from archie@localhost) by bubba.tribe.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) id KAA20318; Mon, 20 Nov 1995 10:42:19 -0800 From: Archie Cobbs Message-Id: <199511201842.KAA20318@bubba.tribe.com> Subject: Re: IP Masquerading under FreeBSD?

Where would it place the address (does anyone > have a Stevens book handy? :) The way this works is by remapping TCP and UDP port numbers, and keeping an internal mapping of (ExternalPort) <-> (InternalIp, InternalPort) for both TCP and UDP. As packets fly by you just change their source or destination according to the table. New outgoing packets cause a new (unused) external port to be allocated. So most apps work, but you can't ping from the inside, for example (because ping uses ICMP which is neither TCP nor UDP). -Archie _______________________________________________________________________________ Archie L.

A couple of questions: 1. Is there a known bug that might be causing the I/O read error, or is my hard disk dying on me? By the way, a similar thing happened on another machine (ASUS 486DX2/66-SP3G with onboard NCR 53c810 SCSI, Conner 1.0Gig disk) the other day (same O/S version). 2. What ever happened to "lost+found"? Do I need to do anything special to create it (special inode number, etc)? How come it's not created by the normal install process? Or is there another directory somewhere serving the same purpose?

Since I'm running a semi-large system with a lot of users and no backup yet (yes, I know....) and I just tried to upgrade to the 2.1.0 release from 2.1.0-950928 version with no luck. Basically what happened when I did the upgrade option, I set up everything and when it started to copy things from the floppy disk to /mnt/share/help, it reported that / was full. But upon checking df, the mount floppy is at 92%, my /mnt at 40%, /var at 30%, /usr at 80% (1 gigs free). Ive tried some things and failed, so I gave up and thought I'd ask here. What exactly am I doing wrong? I'm on a p5-100, 48 megs ram, Quantum 4.3 gig SCSI (f/w), Adaptec 3940W controller (I even tried turning off wide mode with no luck)...

I think that this could be a real bug because these portnumbers are used by real daemons like kerberos which uses port 750 as well. Actually I've run in large problems caused by this strategie of selecting ports for rpc services (mountd, ypbind, ypserv etc.) because some servers start and shut down shortly with the reason Can't bind to socket. I have had a look to other operating systems like Solaris and found out the the used ports for the rpc services start at about 32000. Do you have a real reason for your strategie for giving rpc ports?

I had installed 2.0.5 in this machine and it worked just fine (except of course for the IDE CDROM) then I saw that 2.1.0 was just released and then downloaded a boot disk (atapi.flp). When I tried that it just hangs. I thought at first it was the CDROM fault (It's one of those Creative Labs Multimedia Kit 4x CDROM). Then I downloaded the kernel sources and started to experiment some other configuration. The problem happened when the kernel started to probe the PCI devices (It's an 100Mhz Pentium, ALI chipset (is that any good?)). With the 2.0.5 it just worked fine, it could find the VGA card (a Cirrus 523x chipset), with the 2.1.0 I could only boot disabling the pci bus. Can someone give me an idea? That happened with the 2.1.0-RELEASE... It's kind of bad for things like that happen with a RELEASE version. :( Basically the only thing I have in the PCI bus is the VGA card, so I can still boot with the pci bus disabled, But that problem may arise with other people. I'm thinking it's because something has changed in the kernel that the ALI chipset doesn't support. I tried to get a Intel chipset, but it's not me who actually buys the machines :(. ( I also tried to get a SCSI CDROM, but...) I'll try do write down the messages I get when I'm using PCI...(It doesn't get logged, the system just locks..) I'll send them to the list. Thanks if anyone can help me.

The install program doesn't recognize my CD drive, probably because it's a Mitsumi and there's no FreeBSD drivers for it. I hear there's a 2.1.0 that *does* include CD drivers... Is there any way to get the CD driver and use it for installing 2.0.5 from the CD? Another problem, most likely related to my lack of experience with UNIX... I tried to install a minimal setup, by copying the \dist\bin and \floppies directories from my CD to \freebsd on my Dos hard disk, and selecting "Install from a Dos partition" instead of "Install from CD". I couldn't get it to work, probably because I don't know how to split up the FreeBSD partition. I've set up a 210MB partition for FreeBSD, and selected 10 for the swap space, 100 for "/" and 100 for "/usr". I don't know exactly what "/" and "/usr" are for... I assume they're directories, but I don't know why they would need to be given seperate parts of the same partition. >>>I know very little about Unix.<<< During the install, the install program complains that it can't find "BOOT" or "ROOT" (I don't remember which, maybe both) and tries to look for it on a floppy. I tried creating a boot floppy with rawrite, but it doesn't seem to help the install program... I tried booting from the floppy, and it also complained about not being able to mount "BOOT" or "ROOT" (again, I don't remember which, maybe both). I don't even know what BOOT and ROOT are, except that they're important to the kernal. I am currently trying to set up FreeBSD (for educational purposes) on my home system, which is a 486SX-25 with 4MB of RAM, a 329MB IDE HD, and a 1x speed Mitsumi CD-ROM interfaced through an ATI Stereo F/X-CD sound card. I will eventually be setting it up on a Web Server / dial-up Internet Service Provider, which will probably be a Pentium 90 with 16-32 megs of RAM, 1 gig HD, and a 56k (T1 eventually) line to the internet. I figured a flavour of Unix would work a lot better for an Internet server than some Galacticomm software under Dos. I have practically no experience with Unix... I'm not sure if choosing to admin a Unix system was brave or just stupid. Fortunately, I've been computing for a long time... I've mastered Dos, and I do whatever programming I need in C. Still, Unix is unlike any OS I've dealt with before, and I'd appreciate any help I can get.

For the usr file system the calculated value is 2554 (versus 2016). The disk geometry reported by fdisk is CORRECT! (1022 cyl/63 hd/32 sec). What can I do? I've tried Leenucks (I CAN install it on the scsi drive with some hand tweeks during fdisk) but don't like it - I was using FreeBSD on an IDE drive before I "upgraded" to SCSI.

The fsck code is cruddy in this regard, and you may need several fscks to restore the FS to sanity. This is a pretty trivial but annoying bug. There is code there to support creating the lost+found statically. See the newfs/fsck utility sources.

The code has never been integrated because the authors have never released it. You would get better response posting this to the hackers list instead of the questions list.

With the help of several folks in this list and on usenet, I proved it to be a bad motherboard. Got new ASUS 486SP3G motherboard and things are grand. System has a 3c509, 1 1GB Conner, and 2 2 GB Seagate Baracuddas in it at present. 2 More Seagtes on the way. 32 MB RAM. Just thought I'd post this script that I used to stress test the system. I left it running all night and it was still running when I got back the next morning. Some filesystems had filled up though. Not sure why. But I ran a similar script on a Linux machine and it die during the night. The FreeBSD system kept a steady load avg of about 13.5 all nigh with the disks grinding like mad. I left 3 sysstat's running (with pigs and iostat and vmstat too). Anyway, thanks for your help. I'v been running Linux for a long time now. I'm very impressed with FreeBSD so far.

I really enjoy this continuing work on a great OS. Okay... I'm not sure if this is a FreeBSD-specific problem or a hardware incompatibility problem.... but here goes... Using boot.flp on a 3.5 inch disk in Drive A seems to work quite well on most systems. But I've run into 1 major problem for the installation on a machine at work. I just upgraded an older 486 System to use an EIDE hard disk (Western Digital 1.6Gig to be specific) with a DTC 2278EB (with enhanced rom bios to do LBA because the computer does not support LBA). I intended to use the 1.6 Gig Western Digital Drive for both Win95 and FreeBSD. Okay, so the problem is that the computer can not boot the FreeBSD boot disk. It doesn't even get to the part about prompting for the hard drive or floppy. It just hangs after trying to boot the boot.flp disk. Drive C is the 1.6Gig WD with controller LBA on and Drive D is a 340MB WD with controller LBA off. But an interesting observation is if I disable both hard drives from the CMOS, I can boot FreeBSD... (but of course, then I wouldn't be able to install FreeBSD). Another other combination does not seem to work. Is there any hope of installing FreeBSD on this system? Or is the DTC 2278 EB controller just incompatible? Thanks in advance for any help.

Just took two disks and NCR out of a working machine (Am486DX2/66, SOYO PCI motherboard) where it lives and went to his office. We were installing onto an ASUS P55TP4XE Pentium, and my disks were installed into a Am486DX4/100 + ASUS SP3 motherboard (note: that's _not_ an SP3G, just SP3). Strange enough, the NCR+2Conner1Gb trio which is working Ok on SOYO+DX2/66, was panicing after some ten minutes or even less in ASUS SP3 with DX4/100... that was a pain because I was forced to reattempt extraction step several times. It bombed with a message from kernel malloc() -- like "no memory available". Disabling caches (external, then both) didn't help. Needless to mention that all tech tests from DOS, DOS itself and windo$e too are Ok on this box. I am still puzzled. Has anyone a combination of ASUS SP3 and Am486DX4/100 working with FreeBSD 2.1 ? I know that SP3G needs some special combination of jumpers installed to work with new and fast AMD CPUs; does SP3 need smth like this too? (They have a plenty of SP3-equipped boxes with Am486DX4/100, and want to use some of them for FreeBSD, too -- if only it's possible). P.S. ASUS Pentium (P55TP4XE motherboard) with NCR PCI SCSI and two Quantum Fireball 1Gb drives... HOW GREAT IT IS!!! The box of my dreams. Comparatively cheap and _really_ the fastest FreeBSD box I've ever seen. I'd recommend this combo to everyone. LONG LIVE FreeBSD AND PEOPLE WHO DID IT!

Do a ./MAKEDEV std, it'll make all the correct tty and cua ports. There isn't any sio device, that's the name for the drivers (Serial Input/Output) not the device name. DON'T use that number for the major, it's certainly not right. There's a good manpage for the sio driver, just type 'man sio'. You'd want to use /dev/cuaa0 for your serial mouse on the first port, BTW.

In-reply-to: Your message of "Thu, 16 Nov 1995 23:03:03 EST." Date: Tue, 21 Nov 1995 21:25:09 -0700 From: "Mark G.M. O'Lear" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I have been having (and still am having) a very similar problem. Unfortunately your solution only partially fixes the problem for me. The situation: Host A: FreeBSD 2.1.0-951026-SNAP with krb and des. Host B: FreeBSD 2.1.0-951104-SNAP with krb and des. Before any changes: I could not connect Host A to/from Host B with telnet, ftp, finger or rlogin no matter what scenario I tried. rup and ping worked. I could connect from either Host A or B to any other non-FreeBSD host using either scenerio. I could connect from any other non-FreeBSD host to either Host A or B using either scenerio. Any connection from/to localhost on either Host A or B would work as well. After switching to 2.1.0-RELEASE ftpd, inetd, telnet and telnetd on both machines (using both kerberos and non-kerberos versions of telnet and telnetd on both Host A and B): Scenerio 1: subnet 1 PPP subnet 1 Ether subnet 1 Ether or FDDI ? (Host A) <--> (PPP-server) <--> (Nameless router) <--> subnet 2 Ether subnet 2 (Named router) <--> (Host B) I could not connect Host A to/from Host B with telnet, ftp, finger or rlogin from different subnets with a nameless router (no DNS host name entry) between them. rup and ping worked fine. Connecting Host A and B from/to any other non-FreeBSD machine still works. Scenerio 2: subnet 2 PPP subnet 2 (Host A) <--> (Host B) I could connect Host A and B if they were both on the same subnet and there was no nameless router between them. I know this is an over simplification of the situation. I can also use ftp and http from Host A and B to ftp/www.freebsd.org. I checked with traceroute and there are no nameless routers between me and ftp/www.freebsd.org. It seems to me that there may be more than one problem going on here. Unfortunately this is not the best test case possible, but I am limited to my home computer and work computer because they are the only FreeBSD boxes I have access to. Also if it is inetd, it seems to only have problems with some clients and internally managed ports. Telnetting to daytime port and rup both worked before and after. The following happen now in scenerio 1 when using inetd built-ins: 1) chargen gives me 492 chars and hangs (TCP only, UDP keeps going) 2) echo doesn't echo at all (TCP only, UDP works) 3) discard won't discard after 16384 bytes (TCP only, UDP keeps discarding or I never know about it). 4) daytime and time work (both TCP and UDP) One more note, ftp only hangs after I type in my username. telnet hangs before username.

I had a SQ3270 (actually I went through 3 in 6 months). Every one of them was broken. The return process was lousy, with numerous stories about the location of my replacements. The people in returns finally admitted that they were getting an awful lot of returns for this product, and that they couldn't keep up with them all. When it was over I finally got a refund, but lost countless megabytes of data. (I originally purchased the drive in December of 1994) If they have indeed fixed the drives, the drive seems to lock at random times (you can mount and unmount them with no problem, but it only lets you eject them around 80% of the time). Of course you can always use a paper clip after you unmount it if the eject button doesn't work. They have a DOS utility to unlock them, but it doesn't seem to unlock them under pcemu (I get no errors, but it doesn't unlock the drive).

The 4.4BSD-Lite/-Lite2 is not a complete OS. It will not compile up for a Sun machine with little effort. There is a NetBSD port based on that code that will work on several machines. You'd have to check out www.netbsd.org to see if the Classic is one of them (from memory it's not, but they could have added to it). FreeBSD is (currently) i386 only. There are a number of ports underway, only one of which isn't using NetBSD sources and integrating them, as far as I know.

Your hope may be fufilled. It'll take 2-3 weeks to come back from replication (assuming they don't make any more mistakes), and we'll start shipping them within 24-48 hours of getting them back (we have to check both discs to make sure that nothing got corrupted in the replication process). So, hopefully, subscribers will have the new disc before xmas (certainly the US subscribers anyhow) Gary From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 22 11:36:43 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id LAA05155 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 22 Nov 1995 11:36:43 -0800 Received: from ref.tfs.com (ref.tfs.com [140.145.254.251]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id LAA05150 for ; Wed, 22 Nov 1995 11:36:36 -0800 Received: (from julian@localhost) by ref.tfs.com (8.6.12/8.6.9) id LAA09547; Wed, 22 Nov 1995 11:35:53 -0800 From: Julian Elischer Message-Id: <199511221935.LAA09547@ref.tfs.com> Subject: Re: Getting an optical drive to work To: charlie_conklin@il.us.swissbank.com (Charlie Conklin) Date: Wed, 22 Nov 1995 11:35:53 -0800 (PST) Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG In-Reply-To: <9511220928.AA02124@ln1d370nwk> from "Charlie Conklin" at Nov 22, 95 09:27:56 am X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 2099 Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk it's recognised and assigned to the 'unknown' driver it is therefore accessible through the uk0 device unfortunatly uk devices only know how to do generic scsi operations (see man 4 scsi, man 4 uk) (also man 8 scsi) is this divice treatable as a hard disk? oris it write -once only? if it can be made to read and write, then you can FORCE it to be assigned to the sd (scsi disk) driver by adding a line to the file /sys/scsi/scsiconf.c (in two places, as there are two different configure options #ifdef'd there) that specifies the exact configuration options to look for, and then specifies that such a device should be assigned using sdattach there are quite a few examples there.. you then compile a new kernel (there's an FAQ on that in /usr/share/FAQ) and see if it works.. > > Hi, > > I have FreeBSD on a Gateway machine, and am trying to get a SCSI > optical drive to work.

The P100 has mac64, I don't know about the P75. Doesn't seem like this is the problem (?) A technician at Swedish ICL has exactly the same symptoms. He thougt it was due to the P75 having only one serial port, so he tried setting in another, but it didn't help.

This week, it's something similar but different. If you will recall I was asking about the escape strings that you need to use to change terminal colors. First I want to thank everyone for their input. It works great. However, I've got another question now. Suppose I want to do the same thing on a system using SYSCON? I can get it to echo the colors, but I can't get them to stay. My guess is that the syscon driver isn't allowed to accept escape sequences that will change anything (think of this as protection against ANSI bombs). Under PCVT you can enable an option to allow you to do this. Is there a similar option for syscon?

We have a PPP link over a leased line to our provider. But we only have one real IP-number, namely 194.10.201.200. We have a small local Ip-network on ethernet (ed0), using the fake net 192.168.31 and we have three dialin modems for PPP (using ppp for cleint-ppp) setting up links between: 192.168.32.254 <-> 192.168.32.1 192.168.32.254 <-> 192.168.32.2 192.168.32.254 <-> 192.168.32.2 respectively.

Is there any way to get it to ALWAYS prompt at EOF (even for files smaller than one screen in length)? Or, if that's not possible, how do I tweak my termcap/terminfo entries to disable the screen contents save/restore? Running past the end of file without a prompt wouldn't be so bad if it didn't immediately restore the previous screen contents on exit. I usually hate it when programs do that (e.g. vi, less and FreeBSD more). Ahhh...time to go home for a LONG weekend...!!!

In order to successfully probe the second serial port in a four port system, it is necessary to write to the fourth port, which can upset some video adapters, possibly causing the system to crash. > A technician at Swedish ICL has exactly the same symptoms.

I'm having a problem with X When it works, it's great. Unfortunately, I'm afraid to edit config files, since it seems like whenever I do, X won't start again. I've run xf86config multiple times and reverted to a "safe" /etc/XF86Config to no avail, so it doesn't seem to be a hardware config problem. What happens is if I type startx, X seems to load OK and I even see the default screen with the little "x" mouse cursor, but before olvwm kicks in, X exits with no error message and returns me to the prompt. It's got all the Ramdac and mode stuff on the screen and just a line saying "Waiting for X server to shut down." BTW, I'm running a Diamond Stealth Video 64 DRAM card with 2 MB of DRAM and in running xf86config, I selected the 37th card available in the card database. I'm running whatever version of XFree came with 2.0.5; I think it's 3.1.1. Please let me know if upgrading to 2.1.0 will fix this problem, as I can live with it for a few more weeks. Thanks -- and BTW, I had three other questions, but a search of the FreeBSD mailing list archive revealed the answers to all three! Great job, whoever maintains that!

Sounds to me like an xinit problem. In your .xinitrc file you have to make sure that one of the programs named is not backgrounded. Basically X shuts down as soon as the last program called in .xinitrc quits. If you have no programs here or you have them all in the background, X will quit just as you described. Remember, whatever program you don't put into the background will be the one that will shut down X. If you ran an xclock as your foreground process (no '&') X would not quit until you killed Xclock. Hope this is the answer, Jay K.

I should have explained it better : if _any_ serial ports are enabled, all four possible "COMx" locateions are written to. This is _arguably_ the wrong thing to do, but many many serial cards share interrupts incorrectly. If you want to build a kernel that doesn't do this, change this line in /sys/i386/isa/sio.c : static Port_t likely_com_ports[] = { 0x3f8, 0x2f8, 0x3e8, 0x2e8, }; If your machine only has two serial ports, remove the last two entries : static Port_t likely_com_ports[] = { 0x3f8, 0x2f8, }; And rebuild your kernel (see the FAQ for details on that). This _should_ solve your problem. Incidentally, if you have a Mach64, it's possible that the computer hasn't hung completely, the '64 is just confused, and everything is black.

Is there a "good" port of Workman for FreeBSD 2.x out there? If so, where can I find it? And out of curiosity, why isn't it in the Ports collection? IMHO I find it to be a far superior CD player to xcd or xcdplayer, which are in the ports.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I'm trying to get XFree86 running on an IBM Thinkpad 755CX notebook in 800x600 LCD mode but having a problem with text output to the console getting messed up. The way Linux users run X on this notebook is to run the "ps2 mode3x on" command to set up SVGA and warm boot using loadlin under DOS. This also works on FreeBSD using "fbsdboot -r." But while booting all text lines from the copyright message onward look like they're printed on the same line (with one or more spaces where you'd expect newlines and it seems like an increasing number of spaces as more lines are printed) until they get to the right edge of the screen, when they break to the next line. I login and start X anyway and it works OK. The screen appears more or less properly restored after exiting X ("vidcontrol VGA_80x30" after login also does same). This is on FreeBSD 2.1.0-R, PS/2 mouse; XFree86 3.1.2 SVGA server; WD90C24 video controller and 24M memory in notebook. Would appreciate any advice on what may be wrong and how to fix it.

Since you're using a serial printer in the first place, I recommend James Clark's lprps package. It consists of a highly robust PostScript printer filter that works with LPD, does accurate accounting, synchronous updates of printer status (using PostScript's verbose error reporting), and emailing of any standard output from the print job to the submitting user. It includes an `if'-compatible program that detects if the plain job is PostScript or not, and if not, runs an included plain-text--to--PostScript converter. If you set it up, you can type lpr whatever.ps and lpr plain-text and get correct results.

The reason I like a2ps is that, with the correct set of flags, it'll do just about anything you want, including the print you just asked for. I like the condensed (two ps pages to one sheet of paper) for some stuff, other's I want it neat (English profs don't understand the pretty print too well). I think the 'correct' way to flush the printer is to send an extra formfeed, at least that's what the doc I have on my postscript cartridge for the HP laser I have says. > > -- > Paul Richards, Netcraft Ltd. > Internet: paul@netcraft.co.uk, http://www.netcraft.co.uk > Phone: 0370 462071 (Mobile), +44 1225 447500 (work) > ============================================================================ Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu -- I run FreeBSD on n3lxx and Journey2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dilbert Zone is Dilbert's new WWW home!

I read all the docs, I think maybe I can do this through the keycap utility, but I can't find anywhere a mapping between physical positions on a standard (IBM) style keyboard and the codes that it issues. I can see the mapping, and how to do it, once I can determine this; it's pretty obvious to do this for the function keys, but I am wondering if there's a graphic anywhere to aid in this mapping, or if anyone simply knows the mapping for those two keys? Such a mapping table seems to be a glaring omission for a utility that is intended to support mapping. It renders much of the capability valueless, except for function key mapping.

NetBSD, on the other hand, has been ported to many architectures, including various workstations, 80x86 PC's, and yes, even the Macintosh.

Has anyone ever tried installing FreeBSD into a partition on a drive which uses the NEC disk manager (used to access over 500 Megs of a large EIDE drive with an IDE controller)? This means that your disk information is not correct in your CMOS settings. Will this work, or should it cause a mess? Is there a way around this other than buying an EIDE controller card? 2. How long does a base install take over a 14.4K link?? My best guess is 20 hours(at 54 megs)....has anyone ever done this successfully? Thanks for your help. Ken Horemans, khoreman@cadvision.com BTW, you might want to put info in your FAQ or somewhere else about how to recover your system if the install fails after the boot manager is created. I did this by reinstalling dos 6.0 over top of the other files, but maybe there is a better way?

Someone said to run '/sbin/sysinstall' as if you were going to install a fresh copy of FreeBSD to the new drive, but when it gets to that part, stop (i.e. terminate) it. I tried this and it worked.

I just don't see why SCSI card manufacturers don't include them by default -- with only 2 connectors available, what's the point in getting SCSI vs IDE or whatnot??! Anyway, check with some of the big cable manufactuers -- a friend got theirs from "Roger's Specialists" (I think), a company here in southern CA (but they do nationwide mail-order I think -- check the 800 directory). I didn't know that they existed, so I did mine the "old fashioned way" -- I actually MADE mine. (what a pain that was! But I'll save that for another story). If you can't find any companies who have these, then I'll be happy to make you a cable, I can even make them with >3 connectors on them (hey, plan for the future). Just let me know. PS: Check your area for "Computer Shows" -- these are excellent methods of gettings lots of computer hardware for good prices, and you can usually find oddball/obscure stuff like 3-headed SCSI cables at these places, better than you can at retail stores.

You have to rebuild everything that use the pwent structure. The easiest thing to do is to rebuild everything. One of the constants is the length of the name field in the struct. The other thing you forot was to kiss NIS goodbye, sinc it has some wire traffic specific limits on how big a name can be. So if you expect to interoperate with anyone else's NIS implementation, you'll be out of luck.

I keep getting the following error. kern_sysctl.o: Undefined symbol '_hw_float' refrenced from text segment Why? I did a few tests. I compiled a GENERIC kernel and it compiled just fine. It is only after I modify the config file that I copied per the instruction 6.0.2 that I get this error. I copied over the file and made no changes and it compiled without errors as well. Now, I have no SCSI devices, or Ethernet devices connected to this computer. Included in this file I have sent is the output of dmesg. As you can see I am not using many of those things that come in the GENERIC kernel at all. What I am trying to accomplish is a smaller kernel without the "dead" code that never gets used. I would also like to take advantage of my 387. Please keep in mind that it has been taking about 3.5 hours to compile a kernel. This may be usefull for troubleshooting.

Like you, I have a Creative Labs kit (Discovery I think) with a 4x IDE CDROM. It seems to be working fine though I haven't had time to test it more extensively. I have connected it to my primery IDE controller together with a 850M hard disk (master) I also have a conner 1.2G on the secondary controller. The atapi floppy recognizes everything just fine. The only problem I had was that, after installation (from 1.44Mfloppies), the kernel was the GENERIC one without support for IDE CDs. I had to recompile the kernel enabling the ATAPI option and the wcd0 device. It seems ok now. I might be wrong but I don't believe the CD is recognized if it is connected directly to the sound blaster board. The reason is that , by default, the sound blaster controller is configured as tertiary (0x1e8) which doesn't get probed. Of course, I had to change the MessDOS configuration of the SBIDE.SYS driver to something like sbide.sys /P:1f0,14 or something like that. Windows 95(arghhh) also recognizes the CD driver at its "new" position. Hope this helps, Toto (toto@ifq.sc.usp.br) Carlos A Ruggiero From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Nov 25 11:30:27 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id LAA14540 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 25 Nov 1995 11:30:27 -0800 Received: from ref.tfs.com (ref.tfs.com [140.145.254.251]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id LAA14534 for ; Sat, 25 Nov 1995 11:30:25 -0800 Received: (from julian@localhost) by ref.tfs.com (8.6.12/8.6.9) id LAA17053; Sat, 25 Nov 1995 11:30:06 -0800 From: Julian Elischer Message-Id: <199511251930.LAA17053@ref.tfs.com> Subject: Re: Boot disk not letting me boot.

The boot disk is a Seagate 1GB and works fine. The controller is an Adaptek AHA2940. I've tried "scsi-select" translation enabled and disabled and neither seems to work. When I run fdisk to partition the drive I get a message: ------------------------------------------------------------------ renoir# fdisk sd1 ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=131523 heads=27 sectors/track=5 (135 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=131523 heads=27 sectors/track=5 (135 blks/cyl) Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 0 is: The data for partition 1 is: The data for partition 2 is: The data for partition 3 is: renoir# ------------------------------------------------------------------ Creating a partition and running disklabel causes a panic shutdown. Help!!! Any thoughts/advice/solutions appreciated in advance. bix ****************************************************************** * David R.

(WD Cavier 21000: 1.04 Gb, 2100 cyl, 16 hd, 63 sec, IDE. Host is Cyrix 486DX2-80, ISA IDE card, VGA display adapter and NE2000 network card. Nothing fancy... After answering all the questions correctly, "commiting", the machine hangs trying to create the root filesystem on /dev/rwd0a. Disk lite on, HUNG.... LBA is turned off in the BIOS, if that matters. I tried changing the disk geometry (G command) to 1024/16/63, but the block seems not to be recomputed for the A (use all disk) command, so I'm left with the 1GB's worth of space. rebooting a DOS system, FDISK shows that the MBR and partition table was written by FreeBSD. I'm doing all this with 2.1.0-RELEASE, but also verified with 2.0.5-061295 SNAP kernel-on-floppy. Assistance much appreciated, always some learning. Thanks in advance. best regards/bob From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Nov 25 23:34:49 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id XAA20251 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 25 Nov 1995 23:34:49 -0800 Received: from Root.COM (implode.Root.COM [198.145.90.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id XAA20246 for ; Sat, 25 Nov 1995 23:34:46 -0800 Received: from corbin.Root.COM (corbin [198.145.90.50]) by Root.COM (8.6.12/8.6.5) with ESMTP id XAA07248; Sat, 25 Nov 1995 23:34:49 -0800 Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by corbin.Root.COM (8.6.12/8.6.5) with SMTP id XAA00178; Sat, 25 Nov 1995 23:33:55 -0800 Message-Id: <199511260733.XAA00178@corbin.Root.COM> To: "Marc G.

It seems like I explain this about once a week. Sigh. Due to the manner in which FreeBSD gets the memory size from the BIOS, it can only detect 16bits worth of Kbytes in size (65535Kbytes = 64MB). If you have more than 64MB, FreeBSD will only see the first 64MB. To work around this problem, you need to use the above kernel option. There is a way to get complete memory information from the BIOS, but we don't have room in the bootblocks to do it. Someday when lack of room in the bootblocks is fixed, we'll use the extended BIOS functions to get the full memory information...but for now we're stuck with the kernel option. -DG
