I have a Pentium 133 with 2 Boca 2016's; all of one board are in use, and 4 or 5 lines of the second. I'm still seeing silo overflows. Apparently, the ISA I/O bandwidth is too limited to cope with much traffic. If I understand the situation correctly, boards like the Digiboard use shared memory and have much larger buffers, so 1. the throughput capacity is higher due to using memory cycles instead of I/O cycles and 2. It takes a lot more to overrun the larger buffers. At least that's my current understanding... -- Alan Batie ______ batie@agora.rdrop.com \ / Freedom for me to be and do +1 503 452-0960 \ / only what *you* approve of 45 28 59 N / 122 43 20 W / 440' MSL \/ is no freedom at all.

I will be using SCSI drives for the news spool but I'm wondering if IDE has a place. The motherboard is an ASUS PCI and the IDE controller is pretty fast. Should I put the OS and base directory structure on the first drive (854MB) and swap/history on the other (854MB) or should I go with say, 5 2 GIG SCSI drives? I ask because I'm worried that 5 news/swap/history spindles may be too much for the average SCSI controller.

If you do 'get linux_lib.tar.gz' in the ports/emulators directory on ftp.freebsd.org, this will automatically get you a tarball of the installation bit, which you can then untar in /usr/ports/emulators on your system. ie # cd /usr/ports/distfiles # ftp ftp.freebsd.org (login, etc here) ftp> cd ftp> get linux_lib.tar.gz (about 1M) ftp> lcd /usr/ports/emulators ftp> cd /emulators ftp> get linux_lib.tar.gz (about 1k) ftp> quit # cd /usr/ports/emulators # tar tvzf linux_lib.tar.gz # make install (I'm offline at the moment, so you'll need to fill in the appropriate directory names).

Yes, it's trying to find the olgx.h file which should have been installed in /usr/X11R6/include/olgx as part of the installation for xview. Are you sure you installed all of xview, ie you need to do # cd /usr/ports/x11/xview-config # make install # cd ../xview-lib # make install # cd ../xview-clients # make install (xview and olvwm are a bit of a swine to set up, as you are probably finding out!

It's really fast (average 500 - 1000 kBytes/sec.) and it worked right away. Depending on what sort of tapes you use (DDS-1 or DDS-2), you can store 2 - 4 GB of compressed data on one tape. Thanks to built-in compression, it stores even more than that when you backup a disk. I think there are also C1534 and C1535 (?) models, which are a bit cheaper and have no DDS-2 support.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Thanks to the advice of many people on the FreeBSD mailing list over the last few months as to IDE vs. SCSI, I finally took the plunge and bought a new SCSI controller. Of course my hard drives and CD-ROM are still IDE, but now that I've made the commitment, I can sell them and buy new SCSI stuff at my leisure. In the meantime, I'm testing this card (an Adaptec 2842A VESA local bus) with an external Iomega Zip drive.. I finally managed to get all three of my VLB cards properly seated (no small feat considering their length and the fact that my motherboard is somewhat loosely mounted in its tower case), and Windows 95 seems to recognize the controller properly. So did FreeBSD, with the GENERIC kernel (I'm building a custom kernel right now). The problem, however, is that with the SCSI controller installed, XFree86 consistently and repeatedly FREEZES SOLID which means that I can't properly shut down the system (since I can't switch back to a console) so I just have to hit the reset switch... Sheesh... The other cards installed are a "JAX 8241" generic S3 801 VLB SVGA card and a VLB dual IDE/serial/parallel/game card. The motherboard has an AMD DX4/100 and is set to 33MHz, no wait states. The Adaptec card has a panel with 8 DIP switches, which can set the card to 1C00h, 2C00h, 3C00h, etc, as well as enable/disable the onboard BIOS (right now its disabled since I have no bootable drives), and enable/disable the onboard floppy controller (disabled since there's one on the IDE card). Perhaps this custom kernel will fix matters. Otherwise, can anyone give me any hints for this particular card as to why it's causing these X Window problems?

The VLB does only allow for two cards; the capacitive load with three cards is too high. :-( (For 40 MHz, only one card is allowed.

I had a similar problem until I realized that I needed the second IDE controller switched on (apparently my motherboard has a PCI IDE and an ISA IDE controller, one for each channel). IRQ 15 on my motherboard is used by the second controller. So you might need the "wdc1" device as well as "wdc0" but to IRQ 15. It does seem to take a while to recognize the device though but works like a charm when it does!

If it's the 16384 that some non-tcp-knowledgeable person put in sometime in the past I think what you are seeing is called "TCP deadlock" which appears when window size is equal or smaller than the MTU. This makes TCP to be stop-and-go protocol (remember XMODEM? or non-windowing kermit) and thus the troughput of the protocol is pretty horrible. This happens on ATM also if you are running with 4096 or 8192 window sizes and the RFC1577 default MTU of 9180. Fortunately not too many applications use the 127.0.0.1 address but use the loopback provided by the ethernet-interface. (and thus get the MTU of 1500) Pete From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Dec 11 07:03:07 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id HAA16398 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 11 Dec 1995 07:03:07 -0800 (PST) Received: from barney.ife.no (barney.ife.no [128.39.229.49]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id HAA16371 for ; Mon, 11 Dec 1995 07:03:01 -0800 (PST) Received: from tigern.ife.no by barney.ife.no (5.65/Ultrix3.0-C) id AA17389; Mon, 11 Dec 1995 16:02:15 +0100 From: stein@ife.no (Stein Morten Sandbech) Received: by tigern.ife.no ; Mon, 11 Dec 1995 15:59:46 +0100 Message-Id: <9512111459.AA05346@tigern.ife.no> Subject: Rocketport drivers ?

Does anyone know how to do this? I used the DOS version of FDISK to get the geometry and set up the whole disk ( 1 Gb ) as one partition. Then I used the FreeBSD version of FDISK to change the type of partition to FreeBSD. I couldn't get disklabel to work so I used the sysintall utility on the FreeBSD boot floppy, but that thinks that you are going to install FreeBSD.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I recently hooked an Exabyte 8200 tape drive to a FreeBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE system. I had hoped to backup the drives and install FreeBSD 2.1. I can read from the tape drive, but I can't write. Everytime I try to write, it either locks up the system, or reports the following message: st1: bad request, must be between 0 and 0 I have tried using both dump and tar to do the writes. I tried rdump to a linux machine that normally has the tape drive attached, but even after hunting for dump utilities for linux (Linux doesn't come with dump, rdump, mt, or rmt), I kept getting errors from the linux machine. And people wonder why I hate linux. So I moved the tape drive to the FreeBSD machine. Both machines have the same SCSI-2 card, Adaptec AHA-1520A, and neither machine has any other SCSI devices. Any suggestions that might help me get this system dumped, would be appreciated. If you need more information, please ask. -- _ /| \'o.O' urcf@fang.cs.sunyit.edu (Rodney C.

Usually Terry has an answer for everything... Since you ask: In the US, it would be. They don't like reverse engineering and try to prosecute it under the Trade Secrets act. Something is a Trade Secret only until it is disclosed, after which it is no longer secret. Damages are limited to the original discloser. Actually, it turns out that there are no constitutional guarantees for Trade Secrets. This is because the US constitution attempts to promote progress in the arts and sciences through copyright and patent, which requires disclosure of the information. Trade Secret protection is generally not used unless the software company knows that what it has isn't patentable and isn't copyrightable, in which case they will use it as a last-ditch attempt as a legal anticompetitive practice. Many software companies have tried to extend trade secret protection after the first disclosure. Probably the most infamous (to this crowd anyway) was the USL/UCB law suit that cause us to abandon much of the pre 2.0 work as part of the agreement to avoid legal harrassment by USL. The UCB/USL consent decree diked out files from 6 major kernel subsystems, supposedly making it "impossible" to recreate a bootable kernel for several years. Obviously it wasn't, mostly because the "Trade Secrets" were a fiction and all it took was the time to rewrite the code. If you are in an EEC country, there is a clause which allows you to reverse engineer interfaces for the purposes of documenting them. That is, it is legal for someone to pull apart commercial code to see how it talks to hardware (or other commercial code) and document it so that other code can be written to perform the same function. Some US companies that are better at litigation than innovation call this the "Piracy Clause". As the US is a Berne signatory country, the US companies have no legal recourse to stop this sort of thing through legal intimidaton by Trade Secret (the process they use in the US). Since the original poster is in Finland, I actually don't know enough about the copyright law there to venture an opinion. But you could have a German friend (for instance) do it for you. 8-).

Have 3 scsi discs id0 quantum (Win95) id1 dec (FreeBSD root/usr/var) id2 dec (FreeBSD src/home) Booteasy installed on id0 and id1. Occasionally I'll remove the quantum, which causes the dynamic sdN allocation. to change (dec drives become sd0 and sd1) which causes fsck(fstab) problems. So, I decided I'd fix down the scsi id's config kernel root on sd0 disk sd0 at scbus0 target 1 disc sd1 at scbus0 target 2 I _thought_ this would do the trick. Works OK if the Quantum is removed/powered off. If I add the Quantum back in ... System boots with the Quantum in place, assigns id0 to sd2, id1 to sd0 and id2 to sd1. Then it sets root device to *sd1* and barfs trying to mount root as sd1a. Seems to be getting sd1 from the fact that I'm booting off id1. So, I switched tack a little config kernel root on sd1 disk sd1 at scbus0 target 1 disc sd2 at scbus0 target 2 System boots with the Quantum in place, assigns id0 to sd3, id1 to sd1 and id2 to sd2. Works. If I remove the Quantum, system boots, assigns id1 to sd1, id2 to sd2, get the same problem, tries to mount root off *sd0*. I'm getting the feeling that the root disc assignment is being affected by the bios' C: D: scsi assignment, and that my 'config kernel root on XXX' line is being ignored.

I keep hearing that "2*RAM" guideline, but the problem is that your swap space requirement isn't [directly] related to the amount of RAM in your system. It is related to how much stuff you want to run simultaneously and how much memory all you stuff needs to run. You might be able to come up with some guideline that says something along the lines of "your system performance will become 'unacceptable' if your swap space is less than N times the amount of RAM". But 'unacceptable' is subjective and it still depends on what you are running. If you run 4Mb of stuff on a system with 16Mb of RAM, it doesn't matter how much swap space you have.

I'm *pretty* sure it's true, although it's a pain in the butt. However, both Linux and NetBSD can use X on ThinkPads, so I'm unsure why it doesn't work.

There are two ways to gain access to scanset I: you could switch the keyboard, or you could try convincing the controller to perform the translation. I'd recommed the van Gilluwe for the details (but i could also go further in email if you'd like to know, Nate). I suspect earlier Thinkpads to support only one of both methods (though i'm not sure which), while later ones might have dropped both. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Dec 11 15:35:16 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id PAA14492 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 11 Dec 1995 15:35:16 -0800 (PST) Received: from hub.org (hub.org [199.166.238.138]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id PAA14484 for ; Mon, 11 Dec 1995 15:35:08 -0800 (PST) Received: (from scrappy@localhost) by hub.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id SAA04883; Mon, 11 Dec 1995 18:34:05 -0500 (EST) Date: Mon, 11 Dec 1995 18:33:57 -0500 (EST) From: "Marc G.

Does your system use any swap space when idle? If I remember right, when a system is generally idle, or a process just isn't doing anything but sitting in the process table, it will get swapped out (partially?), so that any new or existing software that is doing something will be able to run un-impeded in "real memory".

Because of the crashes we replaced it with another motherboard and so far (one day) it hasn't crashed. We also replaced the IDE cable because it looked kindof old. Also, we have several Pentiums running the same kernel with no sign of such behavior for several months. Sounds like a pretty low-level VM subsystem thing going on. What kind of motherboard and CPU are you using? -Archie _______________________________________________________________________________ Archie L.

They have a web site - www.connectix.com -- End of Message If you haven't opened the envelope with the floppys, you should be able to return the camera, without any problems. :-) Otherwise, unless you are willing to run Windows, the QuickCam is just an expensive paperweight. And, don't bother trying to contact Connectix for programming information. From my own experience in contacting them, and from what I've seen on the net, their only response is a formletter politely thumbing their nose at anyone not using Windows or a Macintosh. The letter claims that over 95% of their customers use those platforms. I guess the remaining 5%, like me, buy their product by mistake. After all, why would knowingly spend $100+ on a camera they can't use.

I'm not sure what the ppp command is, I know that after I connect, I switch to su and create a default route. ppp adds this route: 128.223.150.132 128.223.150.140 UH 0 0 tun0 and I add this route: route add default 128.223.150.132 And it works OK.

Do a netstat -rn and make sure a default route to the gateway was added. It'll give you that error if the nameserver isn't set or can't be contacted. (Is the nameserver configured in /etc/resolv.conf?) Hope this helps. I connect to a host that is dynamic-everything (gateway and my IP) and ppp handles it no prob except for the routing, which I just go do manually.

Erk... The idea is some sort of fund raising in order to help support, hardware wise, those that are developing the OS, and/or drivers for it. For instance...someone here mentioned something about t-shirts and whatnot? That was the first I've ever heard about it, and the last. Or, how about a list of what is required, and approx. costs for it. Break it down according to some sort of "development group". Then, individuals could support those aspects that are important to them. Personally, if proper accounting procedures were put into place so that one were kept informed abotu how much money came in, and how much went to different projects, I'd be willing to "pay for support" in the way of development on the OS. *shrug* I don't know...how many ppl out there know enough to help Terry out with continuing the SMP development, but can't afford the hardware, or don't personally need it? Or, hey, here's one...who makes up the FreeBSD CDroms? how much does it cost to make them? how much of a markup do "resellers" put on them? how hard would it be to setup a network of "distributors" that are associated with "the Project" who basically keeps a limited stock of the CDroms available for resale, with "all profits going back to the Project"? Better yet, what would it take to make a CDrom distribution "in house" so that you could offer up to date distributions? And *takes deep breath* finally, how many ppl are using FreeBSD right now? Does anyone have any statistics on it? This is only meant to provide ideas, altho some are just possibly ridiculous... Marc G.

I would prefer to leave it voluntary in all respects for now, and as uncomplicated as possible. If a distributor would like to donate some portion of all CD sales back, that'd be nice. I'm also going to try to get WC to chip in a small amount each month. I'm also more than happy to provide accounting information WRT donations and how they're being spent, it's just sort of moot right now given that we've no money to spend anyway. If the amount actually gets up to the 4 figure range somewhere, I'll also discuss any and all expendatures with the core team before making them. In the meantime, the simpler the better. I don't have time right now (or even usually at all) to get into really complicated fund-raising schemes and would actually prefer that such arrangements, if they're to be made at all, be done by 3rd parties who then simple present me with one unified deposit. It's complicated enough just producing the "product" here. :-) Jordan From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Dec 11 21:48:30 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id VAA08849 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 11 Dec 1995 21:48:30 -0800 (PST) Received: from gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de (gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de [137.226.31.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id VAA08841 for ; Mon, 11 Dec 1995 21:48:20 -0800 (PST) Received: (from kuku@localhost) by gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de (8.6.11/8.6.9) id GAA26689; Tue, 12 Dec 1995 06:49:39 +0100 Message-Id: <199512120549.GAA26689@gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de> Subject: Re: How to re-invoke disk config prgm.

I'm not sure how far the 2.0.5 version of sysinstall is capable of doing that without doing a full install but you might try with the W(rite) option in the disklabel menu and disable the newfs flags.

But then you're getting into business, which I've learned the hard way, is _way_ over my head... . In April, '94 I saw the first issue of a small magazine on Linux. Chances are that it did not survive, but if it did, why not join up with them. Together the *BSD world and the Linuxers are probably 1% of the market.

Go into the CMOS if you haven't already and set all the hard drives to not installed. Try booting up FreeBSD now.... If it comes up, then it's the controller. If so, you will probably be able to boot up freebsd and install, but not boot up with the regular booteasy type loader....

I install it from the DOS partition. I first spare out 1.0 GB from my 1.6GB Western Digital hard drive to the FreeBSD while keeping the 0.6 GB running the DOS. I down- loaded your bin directory files to my c:\freebsd\bin directory and your floppies directory file to my c:\freebsd\floppies, as suggested in the handbook. But when I proceed to install, it gives me the error message: "Failed to image ROOT distribution, go back to fix it and try again". The only place that I suspect not right is in the "FreeBSD Partition Label Editor" screen. Part of it reads like: Name Mount ??? wds0s1(??) DOS wds???? / UFS wds???? SWAP wds???? /usr ???? The Mount of DOS part is . Should I mount it? At what point? I don't know where the problem is. Please help!!!

Lets say there is a ethernet box with the ip of 134.231.8.132 and it has a modem attached to it. What I would like to do is set up PPP to 134.231.8.132 without setting up my own IP number and having it physically attached to the network. My current provider does not allow me use more than one IP number -- I was thinking perhaps the ethernet box could act as a router - or a forwarder. But I'm not quite sure as to how I can get this to work, especially with PPP. Can someone shed some light on this? Thanks!

I'd recommed the van Gilluwe for the details (but i |could also go further in email if you'd like to know, Nate). For those interested: "switching the keyboard" is done by sending it the 0xF0 command, with as argument the number of the requested scanset (0:report current scanset, 1:scanset 1, 2:scanset 2, 3:scanset 3 (testing purposes only?)). "Convincing the controller" is done by setting bit 6 in the command byte. As van Gilluwe states, not all controllers/keyboards accept both methods, but he describes a way to find out which method the controller/keyboard supports. It boils down to "just do it and see if it sticks", i.e. set the bit and read it afterward to see whether the controller accepts it. (PCVT could do that, too... (hint :) |I suspect earlier Thinkpads to support only one of both methods |(though i'm not sure which), while later ones might have dropped both. Hmmm...so my Thinkpad modified itself between fbsd 2.0 and 2.1 ? :-) I've had fbsd 2.0+pcvt+xfree running, so i'm surprised it no longer works with fbsd 2.1... By the way, something that might cause problems with ps/2 mice is the PCVT_USEKBDSEC (override security lock inhibit) flag, since that bit (bit 3 in the command byte) is used to enable/disable the mouse on MCA/ps2 machines (again, see the van Gilluwe book). I think there may be other conflicts as well (on MCA/ps2 systems, there also is a bit that enables/ disables the irq 12 for example). Note that this is all from the top of my head, don't have the book at hand to check it. Gert-Jan --------------------------------------------------------------------------- J.G.

First, a question: Is anyone running iijppp between two 2.1.0-RELEASE systems ? --- This does not work for me. I am trying to sort out the details, as there are many things involved (modem type, modem settings, OS release, mgetty configuration etc.). Still I believe I can say that the problem seems to be with 2.1.0 and not with the rest of the system I will use the following DEFINITIONS PPP server: a system which is running mgetty on a serial port, where users can log into and, from the shell prompt, run "ppp - direct" PPP client: a system where a user invokes "ppp", then manually dials into a PPP server, logs in, and invokes "ppp - direct" on the server SYMPTOMS: * A 2.1.0-RELEASE PPP-server is unable to setup a ppp connection with a PPP-client (running 2.1.0-RELEASE as well). The same PPP-client works fine with a 2.0.5-9507XX-SNAP PPP-server. DETAILS: I have a total of 4 systems, as follows: ID OS Modem studenti 2.0.5-9507XX-SNAP cirrus-logic cisid 2.1.0-RELEASE rockwell labinfo2 2.1.0-RELEASE rockwell prova 2.1.0-RELEASE cirrus-logic All run mgetty-0.22, hopefully configured appropriately. "studenti" and "cisid" have a receive-only line, so I cannot use them as PPP-clients. The others have bidirectional lines. There is no special setting in the /etc/ppp/* files (basically, they are as shipped with the releases). I just set, on the PPP-client, the addresses with "set ifaddr 200.0.0.1 200.0.0.2" and dial manually giving at commands. Have done the following cross-tests: PPP-client labinfo2 prova PPP-server studenti WORKS WORKS cisid NO NO labinfo2 -- NO prova NO -- "WORKS" means that everything works fine, the link goes up, and I can use the IP connection. "NO" means that I can login, run ppp -direct, then the PPP-client returns to command mode and says something like "starting packet mode". >From here on, if I ping the remote side, I don't get any answer. Looking with netstat at the two systems, I see that the client sends the packet, the server receives them, replies, but the client does not get the reply. As it can be seen, "studenti" works fine (runs 2.0.5). The modem on "labinfo2" and "prova" should be configured correctly (otherwise they would not work in client mode). Any suggestion ?

Working MINICOM? Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I can't believe I'm finding myself pining (no pun intended... see my X-Mailer: header if you haven't a clue) for the days of Linux, but it is true. Having only 8 MB of memory and a meagre student's income (WITH debts outstanding to boot) isn't very easy, and makes running X a pain in the you-know-where. And when I found that the only comms package in the ports directory was "Seyon" -- an X-based one -- I wasn't very happy about it. So I'm finding myself in the need of a good text-based comm program. Kermit works, after a fashion, but I really want something with a little more "zip" to it (and ease of use, maybe). In my Linux days, I had trusty old Minicom. Loved that program. The interface was decent, the dialing directory was cool, and I loved auto-start Zmodem downloads. On a whim, I grabbed the minicom-1.71 sources from sunsite, and found to my delight that the documentation stated that it compiles under FreeBSD. But I was disappointed to find that the program compiled allright, but DID NOT RUN -- it didn't crash or anything, but the program just wouldn't communicate with my modem. In that respect, the documentation lies like a rug. I wasn't easily discouraged, however. I somehow hacked'n'slashed things until I get a working minicom -- the thing dials, I can talk to remote BBS's and other systems, I can even upload and download files... but once I hang up from said remote system, the program will not send or receive data from the modem. Basically, I can call only ONE system per invocation of minicom -- I have to exit and re-run the program to call multiple systems. This is undoubtedly some termios thing, but I simply lack the knowledge to correct it. If anyone's willing to give it a try, I'd be happy to send you copies of my current sources (hey, it's even sort-of integrated as a "port" -- shouldn't be that difficult to add it to the ports collection once it's done) I've given up (for now) on toying with ECU. It may be that I'm dense or something, but it's just not working for me.

For some reason, there is no tar(5). Anyway, the format is (taken from tar(5) in my O'Reilly): #define TBLOCK 512 #define NAMSIZ 100 union hblock { char dummy[TBLOCK]; struct header { char name[NAMSIZ]; char mode[8]; char uid[8]; char gid[8]; char size[12]; char mtime[12]; char cksum[8]; char linkflag; char linkname[NAMSIZ]; } dbuf; } 'name' and 'linkname' are null-terminated strings, and the rest are zero-filled octal numbers in ASCII representation. 'uid' and 'gid' are the uid and gid, 'size' is the size in bytes, 'mtime' is the last modification time. 'cksum' is the sum of all the bytes in the header block. When computing 'cksum', it is assumed the field contains all blanks [sic]. 'linkflag' is NULL if the file is a normal file, ASCII '1' if it is a hard link, and '2' if it is a symbolic link. The name of the file linked to is contained in 'linkname'. The first time a particular i-node is dumped, it is dumped as a regular file. All subsequent times, it is sumped as a link instead. Marc.

Here is how I did it. Save out your /etc into another directory temporarily - you might want to use tar to make sure you keep the right perms. (do the same for /stand) Use sysinstall - I used the 2.1 boot floppy for this. do the partitioning and disklabel of all drives - for the ones in place already just put in mount points NOT NEWFS! For media type put NFS - put in a phoney server and path. This way it will do the disklabel, partition and new file system - then it will try to connect with nfs to the phoney site - press control-c to break out of it. back out with quits and exits (depending on the screen) till it is at the point where it reboots. When its back up you will need to reset the perms on /etc (it will be root read write execute and thats it - you will want to chmod 755 it) then save out fstab, put you /etc backed up files back in, put the news fstab in, put your stand files back in. It would be much easier if somebody knowledgable would pull the partition/disklabel/newfs routines out of sysinstall to make it easier on people. ------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Hovey -- shovey@buffnet.net root@buffnet.net From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Dec 12 05:23:42 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id FAA13975 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 12 Dec 1995 05:23:42 -0800 (PST) Received: from gemsgw.med.ge.com (gemsgw.med.ge.com [192.88.230.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id FAA13970 for ; Tue, 12 Dec 1995 05:23:40 -0800 (PST) Received: from gemed.med.ge.com (gemed.med.ge.com [3.7.12.4]) by gemsgw.med.ge.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) with ESMTP id HAA23379; Tue, 12 Dec 1995 07:22:16 -0600 Received: from sol.sol.med.ge.com (sol-gw [3.28.124.2]) by gemed.med.ge.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id HAA05625; Tue, 12 Dec 1995 07:23:03 -0600 Received: from merak.med.ge.com by sol.sol.med.ge.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA17198; Tue, 12 Dec 95 07:23:58 CST From: laufen@sol.med.ge.com (Derek Laufenberg x7-4534) Received: by merak.med.ge.com (4.1/client-1.3) id AA18097; Tue, 12 Dec 95 07:23:56 CST Date: Tue, 12 Dec 95 07:23:56 CST Message-Id: <9512121323.AA18097@merak.med.ge.com> To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG, neal@jennifer.pernet.net Subject: Re: Slow boot Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk > > OK, I've read the mailing list and newsgroup archives, and have seen this > question asked, but never answered: > > We just recently installed NIS client functions on one of our machines at > kernel level 2.1.0.

I use NIS also and I've traced it down to the route add that is done for the multicast address. I think the system is trying to resolve the $hostname on the "route add ..." with NIS which has not been bound yet. So the system pauses while the NIS request times out. I know my host.conf file says to use hosts before NIS but that doesn't seem to matter. Is there a bug in gethostbyname that it ignores the host.conf order? Anyone else have any ideas for Neal and me?

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi... I'm just about to get what I've been told will be an ACER 486DX4-100 Motherboard (PCI), and am interested in getting a PCI SCSI controller to go with it. I'm planning on running *-stable on it, since its going to be more a production machine thena toy (my 386 is the toy, with *-current) Now, a friend of mine talked about the NCR PCI controllers that are relatively cheap (~$100), but he mentioned that they work particularly good on an ASUS motherboard... Does anyone here have any experience with the ACER Motherboards? Do they have onboard SCSI? Any recommendations on which controller to go for that should/will work in this motherboard? And yes, I've checked the "Supported Hardware" listing, but as most, if not all, of you know...what is supported by the Operating System and what is supported by the hardware, dont' always match :) Oh...an afterthought, along the same lines...any recommendations on Ethernet cards for similar system? Preferably PCI, 100MBs isn't a necessity, unless the cost is reasonable (on a budget here, for now *sigh*) The main thing is stuff that I'm not going to have headaches with under the *-stable tree...I'm trying to prove to someone that FreeBSD is a viable alternative to "those commercial OSs", and its a hard sell :( Thanks... scrappy@hub.org | WWW Services Database Services | Knowledge, soon to be: | | Information and scrappy@ki.net | WWW: http://hub.org | Communications, Inc From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Dec 12 22:16:15 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id WAA05977 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 12 Dec 1995 22:16:15 -0800 (PST) Received: from tetsuo.communique.net (Tetsuo.Communique.Net [204.27.64.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id WAA05961 Tue, 12 Dec 1995 22:16:11 -0800 (PST) Received: from tetsuo.communique.net (Tetsuo.Communique.Net [204.27.64.10]) by tetsuo.communique.net (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id AAA56768; Wed, 13 Dec 1995 00:15:33 -0600 Date: Wed, 13 Dec 1995 00:15:24 -0600 (CST) From: Raul Zighelboim To: hackers@freefall.freebsd.org cc: questions@freefall.freebsd.org Subject: loopback and multicast messed up on /etc/sysconfig ? Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk I am not sure what happened here: I messed up my /etc/sysconfig file, so I imported another one. The original was in 2.1, while the imported one came from the previous 2.1-SNAP. Another difference that is probably important is that one machine was installed using a NE2000 card and the other using a 3COM ethernet card. The problem is in: # route_multicast="224.0.0.0 -netmask 0xf0000000 -interface ${hostname}" # route_loopback="${hostname} localhost" If I uncomment this line in sysconfig, the system will not boot. (attaching a monitor/keyboard to the pc will allowed me to continue the boot process by typing -C, but no multicast nor loopback oute will exist. Typing 'route add loopback system localhost' would just hang the system until I -C it. Same will hapend with similar line for multicast.

If you want to do 100MB, cards based on the DC21140 are the way to go. The drivers for these chips are the work of a DEC insider who appears to really know what's what.

It seems to have nuked the sysconfig when It moved it over to the /usr/tmp/etc directory.

Satoshi Asami shows his own configuration files as an example, but doesn't explain what he's done. The ISP assigns a different IP address each time I log on. Am I supposed to use ifconfig to set the new IP address I've been given, then use slattach? I tried to do that, but ifconfig says "unable to assign requested address". I have no idea whether or not I have my config files set up properly. I'd appreciate any help I can get. IMHO someone should write a new FAQ.

I'm not sure if this will solve your problem, but I've found that, in general, if you are routing through a point to point link like PPP or SLIP, it is best to use the "other" end of the link as the routing address.

This helps me alot. I've always thought this was wrong but didn't fully understand what was going on so I wasn't sure. It also explains why the system hangs (waits for timeout) when you enable NIS and try to boot. I've always just hacked the IP # into those lines in sysconfig but wondered if I was incorrect in doing so. What is the `route_loopback' trying to do anyhow?

In older 4BSD releases, it was necessary to create such a route to keep traffic intended to stay within the host, but addressed to one of the host's non-loopback interfaces, from being transmitted over the attached network. In modern systems, this is done automatically. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

I finally put FBSD (2.1.0R) on a PC here at work and have it running. My problem is, I can get to it easily from my Sun W/S here at work but I can't get to it from my FBSD (2.1.0R) system at home! The home system can get to the sun, the work system can get to the sun. I can ping the home system from work (sun or FBSD), I can ping the work system from home. I CAN'T telnet/rlogin/ftp between the systems. I can get to the sun from home and THEN get to the work system, but not directly between the two systems! I thought it might be a problem with routing, 'cuz the home system establishes a PPP link via an annex T/S so I EXPLICITLY set the route to the annex. Still no good. I figure I must be suffering from brain fade......... Could some one provide some guidance?????? I'm NOT running routed on the work system (using static routes only, with a default to our CISCO 7000 and an explicit route to the sub-net the annex serves). Communication everywhere is just fine, EXCEPT between the two FBSD boxes. I can even get to a couplea FBSD2.0.5R boxes we've got in Ft. Wayne from the work box, just not between home and work. HELP!

Yep, I can say that based on my (fairly minimal) testing it seems to work. I just downloaded some stuff from sup2.FreeBSD.org from a Solaris 2.4 box. The main problems were: 1) Lack of vsnprintf(). Quick and dirty fix was to add these lines to any files which contained calls to vsnprintf. It's not a very good solution, but it works. :) #ifdef SOLARIS #define vsnprintf(a, b, c, d) \ vsprintf(a, c, d) #endif 2) Differentions in what the different wait macros expected. The older code expects a union wait structure, while the Solaris stuff wants an int. I defined the macro below (stolen from FreeBSD's ), and then bracked all calls to the wait macros with this code. #ifdef SOLARIS #define UNION_2_INT(w) (*(int *)&(w)) /* convert union wait to int */ #else #define UNION_2_INT(w) (w) #endif was: if (WIFEXITED(w) && w.w_retcode != 0) { notify ("SUP: Execute command returned failure status %#o\n", w.w_retcode); now: if (WIFEXITED(UNION_2_INT(w)) && w.w_retcode != 0) { notify ("SUP: Execute command returned failure status %#o\n", w.w_retcode); 3) Getting a usable makefile. Here is the resulting compile line spit out after munging the Makefile. /usr/ucb/cc -UCMUCS -UCMU -UMACH -DSOLARIS \ -DRENAMELOG=\"/usr/local/etc/sup.moved\" -O -I. -c supcmeat.c If you have any questions, let me know. I'm not sure how demand there is for a Solaris port of sup, but you should be able to build one after this. All of the above patches should be done *after* all of the FreeBSD patches have been applied in the port.

It is difficult to get an NON ide cdrom overhere. I have copied the complete CDrom to a \Freebsd directory on the first IDE drive. I created the necessary file system on the second IDE drive and pushed COMMIT. I keep on getting the message "Can't get the root immage will try to get it from flopy" and of course getting it from floppy doesn't work either. What is happening here ? I have read that there is a IDE CDrom device driver in FreeBSD 2.1.0 how can i get this driver and what do i have to do to use it ? Will somebady please help me so i can experience FreeBSD.....

How are you invoking X? To get 16 bit color, you have to modify /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers. Put the `-bpp 16' after your display entry ( :0 ) and restart xdm. That should do it, ASSUMING X finds a mode to display at that resolution.

I hate to say it, but I really don't know what the various types of SCSI are :( These are the drives I'm running right now. They all come up as SCSI-2, but that's about the only information that I have on them...will they support Fast/Wide? If not, is there another NCR PCI SCSI controller that I can use that will support these drives? Right now, I'm hanging off of an Adaptec 1542 controller... Then again, am I reading "Fast/Wide" wrong? Should I be reading it as "Fast *or* Wide"? Cause, looking at Quantum's Home Page, the LPS340S supports Fast, but it doesn't mentioned Wide..

If you want to look at one to verify this for yourself, the little resistor packs should have '111' on them, but _not_ "221331" or "220/330" or similar. If there aren't any resistor packs, then you either have no termination, or you have active (and possibly automatic) termination. > Marc G.

'111' are the 110 ohm resistors to a 2.9V regulated supply for active termination. 220/330 or 221331 are the dual-resistor networks for passive termination (220 ohms to +5, 330 ohms to ground). Passive networks don't provide particularly good termination in the case of the fast signal edges that you see on a fast SCSI bus. If you want to know more, look up "Thevenin" in any halfway decent electronics textbook. > Marc G.

Took me a while to get a response. Apparently the "props" command It's a large file, so I won't send it through mail. You can find it at: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/props.tar.gz Dunno how often they clean out the incoming directory, or what, so basically if I were you I'd get this file as soon as possible.

Actually, I compiled ATP-1.42 for FreeBSD fairly easily -- it only took a few changes. And it works fine for me. The only problem is that FreeBSD's version of ZIP is a bit weird, and you need to supply special options in your atprc to get it to work. Here's what I have: archiver = zip -jk unarchiver = unzip -xjoL I have made a BSD "port" out of it, it can be found on the FreeBSD ftp site "incoming" directory. An announcement was posted recently to the mailing lists, I will forward you a copy. > From: Donald Burr > To: FreeBSD Announce > cc: FreeBSD Ports > Subject: ANNOUNCE: Port of ATP 1.42 QWK Reader for FreeBSD I have completed a port of the 'ATP' QWK message packet reader for FreeBSD. It can be used to read QWK-format message packets, commonly downloadable from DOS-based Public Bulletin Boards (BBS's). This version supports ANSI colour and graphics sequences in messages, when using the syscons driver (dunno about PCVT, since I don't use PCVT -- it might work), provided that you use the optiions "charset = msdos", "ansi = on", "color = on", and "graphics = off" (YES, I meant "off" -- that's because the syscons driver handles it automatically) in your atprc file. The port directory for it can be found at: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/atp-new.tar.gz ***NOTE*** There is a file called "atp.tar.gz" in the above directory. This was uploaded by me as well, but IT WAS A MISTAKE -- IGNORE THIS FILE. The FTP admin should probably delete it. The ATP source tarball can be obtained at: ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/BBS/mail/atp142src.tar.gz Enjoy, and please advise me of any problems or bugs or things that aren't quite working right with this port (if any).

However before I do, I need to know some information about Free BSD. Does FreeBSD provide Lex or Flex? The reason I need to know is because I am trying to compile a software application from the Georgia Institute Of Technology. This application uses Yacc and Lex to create a C preprocessor. However, my version of Linux comes with Flex ver 2.5.2, which does not give the desired result. Therefore, I am trying locate a copy of Lex to use with FreeBSD. If FreeBSD does not come with Lex then do you know where I could download a copy that will run under FreeBSD?

I doubt that you ever will obtain a AT&T lex source version so flex is the way to go anyway. FreeBSD 2.1 is (still) using Flex 2.4.7. Though it is named lex it really isn't. The naming is just for compatibility purposes with Makefiles etc. Have you tried with the lex compatibility switch: -l turns on maximum compatibility with the original AT&T lex implementation, at a considerable perfor- mance cost. This option is incompatible with -+, -f, -F, -Cf, or -CF. See lexdoc(1) for details. It is absolutely no problem to compile a current version of flex (2.5.8 or where they presently are at). I often grabbed flex from the net and compiled it out of the box under FreeBSD when I was in doubt about the version of flex FreeBSD was using. > > > Yours faithfully, > > Narinder Singh > Research Manager, Simulation > Visionics Europe Ltd > Email: fd11@dial.pipex.com > > (I've experienced no problems when I moved from Yacc to Bison). > --Chris Christoph P.

Doherty) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.3 PL11] Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I have several questions about my system running 2.1; actually, they might be generic unix questions, so I'll understand if you don't have the time to answer them. :) 1. (routing) I'm confused about how to configure my routing in the /etc/sysconfig file. I have a SPARCstation on the same net, and it's /etc/rc.local file contains the following route command: route -f add default `cat /etc/defaultrouter` 1 where /etc/defaultrouter contains the IP number of our router. On the FreeBSD system the /etc/sysconfig file says ## network_interfaces="ep0 lo0" ifconfig_ep0="inet 204.161.116.19 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost" # static_routes="multicast loopback" route_multicast="204.161.116.254 -netmask 255.255.255.0 -interface ${hostname}" route_loopback="${hostname} localhost" # defaultrouter="204.161.116.254" ## The IP of the FreeBSD is 204.161.116.19, and the defaultrouter IP is OK. I get the feeling the multicast thing isn't appropriate, but I'm not sure how to set it up. My indication that something is wrong is the constant stream of messages on the console saying routed[47]: packet from unknown router: 192.158.1.26 routed[47]: packet from unknown router: 192.158.1.254 This is odd because our nameserver is 192.158.1.3. What's wrong? 2. (serial) I'm trying to set up dialin access to my FreeBSD PC, and I have 2 modems to choose from. I have an external 2400 baud modem on the DOS COM1 port, and an internal 9600 fax/modem at COM3. I've followed the serial section in the FAQ, but I'm getting a message on the console saying: getty: /dev/ttyd2: Device not configured I modified /etc/ttys to have these lines: # Serial terminals ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.2400" dialup on insecure ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off secure ttyd2 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup on insecure ttyd3 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off secure and I added these lines to the bottom of /etc/remote: # Hardwired line cuaa0b|cua0b:dv=/dev/cuaa0:br#2400 cuaa2c|cua2c:dv=/dev/cuaa2:br#9600 (I'm not too sure about these.) The external modem works to dial out, but won't pick up the phone when I try to dial in. What's wrong? Thanks very much in advance for your time answering these questions. I appreciate the much-improved installation procedure in 2.1! -- Brian From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Dec 14 10:30:27 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id KAA25054 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 14 Dec 1995 10:30:27 -0800 (PST) Received: from gate.gb.swissbank.com (gate.sbc.co.uk [193.114.243.33]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id KAA24866 for ; Thu, 14 Dec 1995 10:28:04 -0800 (PST) Received: from gb.swissbank.com by gate.gb.swissbank.com; Thu, 14 Dec 1995 18:26:46 GMT Message-Id: <17712.199512141823@gpo.gb.swissbank.com> Received: from ln1d83swk(155.145.239.29) by gpo via smap (V1.3) id sma017704; Thu Dec 14 18:23:34 1995 To: cc:;;;@gb.swissbank.com; Cc: nallurs@gb.swissbank.com Subject: Disk crashing problem Date: Thu, 14 Dec 1995 18:17:09 +0000 From: Suresh Nalluri X-MD5: c1449b4ac19a1bf6cfe8099ee4a9eec2 X-SNEFRU: b33ad55d 54fcedf0 679a7801 aa907a7a 711679ba 64f431c1 268f49b3 1c17ec78 X-chksum-host: gpo.gb.swissbank.com Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Hi, Has anyone had this problem before?

Currently, I have a Intel 486DX2/66 in a NICE Mini EISA/VLB motherboard with 16 Meg of RAM (The chips are OKI M514100B-70SJ, so I am guessing they are 70ns). Questions: 1. What is the fastest chip I can plop into my ZIF socket with no other changes? 2. Can I just change the crystal to get a 50MHz system? If so, will my ATI GUP handle the faster bus? (There are no other VLB boards.) Is my memory (assuming it *is* 70ns) fast enough? 3. Does it make more sense to get a PCI mother board?

It gets past this point just fine with the 2.0.5 boot... -Brandon From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Dec 14 11:39:17 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id LAA02473 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 14 Dec 1995 11:39:17 -0800 (PST) Received: from jennifer.pernet.net (jennifer.pernet.net [205.229.0.5]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id LAA02468 for ; Thu, 14 Dec 1995 11:39:15 -0800 (PST) Received: (from eli@localhost) by jennifer.pernet.net (8.6.12/8.6.9) id NAA11680; Thu, 14 Dec 1995 13:34:03 -0600 From: "E.

Fairly simple. ld.so is not finding your shared X libraries. You need to do the following: ldconfig -m /usr/X11R6/lib To tell the dynamic library loader to merge the shared libraries in /usr/X11R6/lib into the dynamic library 'list.' ttyl, From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Dec 14 11:43:04 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id LAA02978 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 14 Dec 1995 11:43:04 -0800 (PST) Received: from j51.com (j51.com [199.224.7.51]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id LAA02968 for ; Thu, 14 Dec 1995 11:43:00 -0800 (PST) From: amb@j51.com Received: (from amb@localhost) by j51.com (8.6.12/8.6.9) id TAA26756 for questions@freebsd.org; Thu, 14 Dec 1995 19:42:40 GMT Message-Id: <199512141942.TAA26756@j51.com> Date: Thu, 14 Dec 1995 14:42:40 -0500 X-Mailer: Mail User's Shell (7.2.2 4/12/91) To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: The guy who "CAN'T BOOT" is back Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi.. I've asked twice before about my system... I have the problem where when I try to boot from boot.flp my system hangs(no output whatsoever.. it just hangs). It seems it is due to my scsi adapter, the DTC 3270VL, it controls my floppies and for some reason doesnt seem to like freebsd kernels.. or perhapes the other way around. I dug an IDE controller out of an old 286 pulled my other controllers and hooked it up to my floppies and presto it booted... however that old 286 is still in use so I cant use that controller.. and I'm not I dont have enough money right now to go out buying new controllers. Anyway, what I need is someway to be able to boot from a floppy controlled by my scsi adapter, It doesnt matter that its not supported cause I will put freebsd on a drive I have controlled by an EIDE card (which doesnt support floppies BTW). I was thinking that perhapes theres something in the generic kernel that doesnt like being booted from that controller but I'm not sure what the problem really is . I would appreciate and assistance in my quest to simply boot from floppy. Incidentaly I can boot linux from floppy wihtout trouble but I much rather go the freebsd route (Linux, for me, is associated with a bad job I've had in the past. :)).

I cheat here since many X packages expect everything in /usr/lib and /usr/lib/X11, so I do a symlink of everything in /usr/X11R6/lib into /usr/lib.

I know several people who immediately upon recieving DX/2-66s at work changed the clock to 40Mhz. Result: system locked up after 5-6 minutes. A cpu fan on the 486 extended this to 15-20 minutes before locking up. Also, the VL-Bus is very critical about timing; setting the bus speed above 33 Mhz may make your periperhals stop working. If your mother board has switches for VL-Bus at system clocks above 33 Mhz, it'll probably just divide the system clock by two, resulting in a 20 or 25 Mhz VL-Bus.

I have a WD31000 and a WD2250. I had 2.0.5 working on my older VLB IDE controller just fine...well, not quite. I needed at least 400 meg dedicated to DOS, the rest would go to FBSD. I had to make the 250M drive (wd0) the master so the Windows swap file would work correctly since I had no diskmanager and couldn't use it on the 1gig (wd1). So this is what I did. On wd0, the first 249M for dos; 1M for FBSD swap partition (wouldn't let me put a boot manager on wd0 without FBSD on it somewhere), 150MB for dos on wd1 and the rest for FBSD. This worked fine, although it annoyed me that everytime I booted, I had to type wd(1,a)/kernel to boot FBSD off the second drive where / was located. I decided to get the new controller and upgrade to 2.1-R so I could get my Teac CD-55A IDE/ATAPI CDROM to work. This is the current mess I'm in. I installed FBSD 2.1R, made the 1gig master and the 250M slave. I allocated 400M for dos on the 1gig (now wd0) and left everything else to FBSD. Dos boots just fine and installed the neato driver for dos for the controller and it works. Now I booted off the FBSD floppy, did an entire install of FBSD off of the dos partition and everything went just fine with the install (still didn't detect the cd-rom *sigh*). I installed the FBSD bootmanager and rebooted. I got the boot menu, hit F2 for FBSD, then, my hard drive clicked, over and over, didn't even get the boot prompt. I reinstalled, with a 50 meg root partition out of paranoia that my root partition went over the 1024th cylinder. Reinstalled, same thing. If I tried to boot to FBSD, then hit the reset button after it didn't boot, then chose DOS, part way into booting dos, it gave me an "ON BOARD PARITY ERROR ADDR (HEX) = (2000:4212) SYSTEM HALTED" Scary huh? I cold booted to dos and it was just dandy, no more problem, but that error is VERY reproducable. Someone told me it was because EIDE wasn't supported, I thought this meant that EIDE's "wonderful" features weren't used, but you could at least boot the sucker! Am I totally wrong about this? If I can't get FBSD to boot I'm taking the controller back, I'd really like to keep it, anyone have any ideas about what I can do. Let me know if I've left anything important or juicey out. Thanks.

Cc: questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Sorry, I wasn't explicit enough in my original message. I wanted to set the MTU/MRU DOWN (to 552 to be exact). I've already discovered my mistake (I didn't look FAR enough, I only looked in the handbook and the man page, I didn't look in the program itself!) 'set mru 552' should work just fine! I'll try it tonite! (I'm also going to look at putting 'Predicter-1(sp?)' compression in the kernel mode ppp as well). Thanks for the response. As an aside, to the entire FreeBSD team, Thanks for the work! I LIKE FreeBSD (been running it since before 1.0R, justabout since FreeBSD began existance). I've even convinced my bosses that it makes sense for some applications here at GEDS/GEMIS. We're using it as the DNS (BIND) server for GE Motors in Ft. Wayne and (after the first of the year) will be using it as an intermediate print-spooler controller in Mebane, NC and Patilla, Puerto Rico. It GREATLY speeds up printing from an IBM Mainframe to HP JetDirect Cards and Castille PrintServer boxes (just define various spooler queues on the FreeBSD box which point to the various JetDirect and Castille printers and then define the queue on the FreeBSD box as the print queue on the IBM. This is using IBM's TCP/IP and LPR/LPD s/w). 'Tis a H*** of a lot cheaper than putting 3174's and IBM printers (with the required EXPENSIVE channel extenders, etc.......) at each remote site. We'll also be deploying these systems to quite a few remote (in some cases, quite remote, i.e. Bejing, China, Monterrey(sp?) Mexico, Singapore, China, Shanghai, etc......) as print spoolers, BIND servers, Internet E-Mail gateways, etc.... I've already told the boss(es) they'll have to buy a subscription to the CD-ROM after the first of the year (typical GE end-of-year purchasing crunch!).....

Yes, you can XFree86 from NFS. The error message above is caused by the fact that ldconfig is not adding /usr/X11R6. The root cause was that I was trying to access /usr/X11R6 through a symlink, which referred to an nfs-mounted filesystem I get to with amd (an automounter). When I switched to mounting /usr/X11R6 in /etc/fstab, ldconfig found it OK and I got startx to run. For anyone else attempting this kind of config, here's what I did to the mounted usr/X11R6 tree: - make a link on the server from usr/X11R6/bin/X to usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_Mach64 (all of my machines are identical, and have ATI Mach64 graphics) - I ran xf86config on the one machine which has XFree86 installed, then put a copy of the XF86Config file it created into usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config on the server.

Sometimes, with some kernel configurations, this nfs-mounted X configuration works just fine.

I am just about into FreeBSD and after installing 2.1 I am setting up everything. I have a couple of questions: 1/ As I have PS/2 mouse I had to recompile kernel to use Xwindows. Now sometimes when I boot the machine everything is OK until 'login:' and I cannot type in anything so have to reboot and the 2nd time is always OK. Do you know why? I am using 486 DX-2 66 Gateway and my keyboard is 102 MS standard (at least it is said from Win95 on my machine) 2/ When I start X by startx > & startx.log I saw 'this is version 2.05' in the log file? Why is that? 3/ When in Xwindows I ran 'xvidtune' it said that the program can damage the video permanently, so I was quite cautious and just use 'wider' to adjust my video and then apply and luckily got no damage. Which parameter can cause the video to be damaged (want to know so I do not touch it) and does somebody know how to make all changes applied to the next session, as when I reboot into FreeBSD then I have to do all again. Thank you for your help. -- Binh Do Department Of Computer Science University Of BC, Canada From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Dec 14 17:54:39 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id RAA11514 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 14 Dec 1995 17:54:39 -0800 (PST) Received: from mailhost.intac.com (nile.intac.com [198.6.114.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id RAA11509 for ; Thu, 14 Dec 1995 17:54:37 -0800 (PST) From: rjb@intac.com Received: from [198.6.114.51] (palpk-s12.intac.com [198.6.114.62]) by mailhost.intac.com (8.7.1/8.6.12) with SMTP id UAA29125 for ; Thu, 14 Dec 1995 20:54:31 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Thu, 14 Dec 1995 20:54:37 -0500 To: questions@freebsd.ORG Subject: audio server app Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.ORG Precedence: bulk Hi, I'm looking around for a port of some code that will allow me to serve audio streams from my FreeBSD box.

Why is that? Because something is version 2.05. It is the nature of programs to have versions, and it is the nature of versions to progress numerically such that a program after version 2.04 may be 2.05. Somewhere in your system, you have such a program, and on invoking startx, said program, as is its nature, emits its version message. >3/ When in Xwindows I ran 'xvidtune' it said that the program can damage the >video permanently, so I was quite cautious and just use 'wider' to adjust my >video and then apply and luckily got no damage.

No one parameter will necessarily damage your system, rather an unfortunate combination of numbers, possibly but not necessarily related to last week's lottery numbers, may cause damage. The nature of the progression to damage is such that before damage itself is likely to occur, your monitor will normally cease to display anything meaningful, and thus your ability to press the buttons to increase the likelihood of damage is greatly hampered. This is truly a wonderful safety feature 8) If one presses the "show" button, the xvidtune program will emit a modeline suitable for insertion in your XF86Config file. Consult the documentation for XF86Config and xvidtune for further enlightenment. > Binh Do -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 041-122-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "Who does BSD?"

Trombla wrote: > 1. What is the fastest chip I can plop into my ZIF socket with no other > changes? You can put in a 486DX4/100, since this chip *really* is a DX3/99 (but Intel thought that DX4/100 sounded nicer), and that means the outside interface to the bus runs at 33MHz, which is what your system is running at now. The DX4/100's are **nice** CPU's -- I have one in my machine. Great performance under FreeBSD and other OS's (DOS/Windows/etc.). And you don't have to go Intel either. The AMD DX4/100 sitting in my machine is very nice, and works beautifully with FreeBSD. > 2. Can I just change the crystal to get a 50MHz system? If so, will > my ATI GUP handle the faster bus? (There are no other VLB boards.) > Is my memory (assuming it *is* 70ns) fast enough? This *may* or *may not* work. I tend to lean toward the *may not* side. Overclocking Intel CPU's is spotty, and sometimes they seem to work, only to crap out on you when your system's been running for X minutes/hours. If you try, a heat sink and/or CPU fan is **DEFINITELY REQUIRED**. I once overclocked my DX2/66 to 40 MHz (making it a DX2/80) but the system wouldn't work because my memory wasn't fast enough (for a 40 MHz bus, you need 60ns SIMMs... I had 70ns). > 3. Does it make more sense to get a PCI mother board? This is up to you. If you do, mind you, you'll have to reinvest a lot of money in peripherals (SCSI and/or IDE controllers, video, etc.). I have seen some weird PCI/VLB hybrids, but they are usually quite rare and quite expensive. If you want to leave your upgrade path open to a Pentium later, though, I would recommend it.

Sure; login time is reduced because the X server is already running (you also get the 'green' DPMS screensave functionality if your hardware supports it). Monitor stress is reduced due to less (or in most cases no) mode switching - depending on the monitor, mode switching can be a very stressful exercise. The xdm 'chooser' functionality is also very useful for a cluster of Xterminals that may connect to one or more hosts. > Steve Passe | powered by -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 041-122-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "Who does BSD?"

I work for what is basically a sinking ship, and the president has finally realised that. He says, Well, we've seen the work you do and it's really good, you're a great designer, [gratuitous ego-inflating salesmanship deleted], and we're too weighted down with our current language, and we're stuck on VMS platforms, so we'd like you to translate our system to C and make it run on VMS, OSF, and SCO by August. "Can I develop it with FreeBSD?" "Sure. And if it works, we'll even try to sell it." So, "our system" is an accounting/inventory tracking/order processing system for food distributors. This means that I am looking for a good database or ISAM package (shudder) for FreeBSD. :) Most of our customers are fairly small, but there are a few that can move, oh, $1.3 mil worth of food per day. Pretty I/O intensive, mind you, but it can be squeezed onto one disk (yes, we underspec our systems :), so it's nothing that isn't intrinsically infeasible. I'd be happy to take Mr. Grimes' striping patches and beat them to death for a scenario like this. I looked a bit at the doc for Exodus, and it seems to be close to what I would want, but I have no idea what the throughput is like (I know, I know, install it and see). I'm more concerned with pushing records than having a nifty interface to the database. Any advice? I have heard (I think) of other people doing DBMS stuff on FreeBSD. Any nuggets of wisdom? What are you using? Should I just roll my own Record Shoving Library? Also, if this gets off the ground, I'd really like to add versions, and variable symlinks or whatever you call them (logicals, dammit!). Yes, it can be argued that they're icky, but they have saved my big behind more than a couple of times and I'm not sure I'd really sleep well at night running a production system without them. Would this be more than a couple of hundred hours worth of hacking to namei() and friends, O gurus? Marc.

My SCSI devices are all setup properly, my bus is terminated at both ends, and everything is otherwise happy. System works great in DOS/Windows, OS/2, and Linux. Why does FreeBSD print "not ready", etc. for my CD-ROM, as evidenced by the following extract from dmesg: aha0 at 0x330-0x333 irq 11 drq 5 on isa (aha0:0:0): "IBM 0662S12 !O 2 23" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0(aha0:0:0): Direct-Access 1003MB (2055035 512 byte sectors) sd0(aha0:0:0): with 4119 cyls, 5 heads, and an average 99 sectors/track (aha0:1:0): "SyQuest SQ3105S 2_10" type 0 removable SCSI 2 sd1(aha0:1:0): Direct-Access 105MB (215440 512 byte sectors) sd1(aha0:1:0): with 2060 cyls, 2 heads, and an average 52 sectors/track (aha0:2:0): "TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-3501TA 2694" type 5 removable SCSI 2 cd0(aha0:2:0): CD-ROM cd0(aha0:2:0): NOT READY asc:4,1 cd0(aha0:2:0): Logical unit is in process of becoming ready can't get the size Despite these messages, though, the system works perfectly (including the CD-ROM). I always boot up with a CD-ROM stuck in the drive, if that makes a difference. I'm just curious why these messages are displayed, if they are an indication of something about to break, or if it's just one of those little quirks that people live with.

If you use the ndbm library, there is a small nuance of FreeBSD which most other systems have changed (?) or never had a problem with. Basically FreeBSD has rather than . You should be using ndbm anyway, but this causes problems if you happen to have a "db.h" file. (For reference: Solaris, Ultrix, Digital Unix, IRIX and Linux do NOT have this problem). If you want some reference code for using ndbm, I work on an object oriented database driver for networking applications which uses it for the database management aspect, you can get the source at: ftp://cold.org/pub/cold/drivers/Genesis.tar.gz -Brandon Gillespie- From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Dec 15 08:31:37 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id IAA01958 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 15 Dec 1995 08:31:37 -0800 (PST) Received: from intele.net (quervo.intele.net [204.118.149.20]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id IAA01953 for ; Fri, 15 Dec 1995 08:31:32 -0800 (PST) Received: (wes@localhost) by intele.net (8.6.12/8.6.5) id JAA24037; Fri, 15 Dec 1995 09:36:20 -0700 From: Barnacle Wes Message-Id: <199512151636.JAA24037@intele.net> Subject: Re: Printing in FreeBSD To: tbrown@icon-stl.net Date: Fri, 15 Dec 1995 09:36:20 -0700 (MST) Cc: questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: from "Timothy Brown" at Dec 15, 95 08:50:47 am X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk > Okay.

The driver resets the device (and/or the SCSI bus?) and some devices take a looong time to become ready. The device driver only waits a long time for SCSI devices to become ready. This is controlled by options SCSI_DELAY=nnn # nnn is 15 for GENERIC in the kernel config file. I use 8, which is this smallest value that avoids the above error message here. The drive LED indicator showed reliably when the drive was ready.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk One again, I am having problems with pppd, gateways, and routing. I use FreeBSD-2.1-RELEASE on a machine to dial up my ISP. It is also connected to our local network. I have pppd working fine. I can access the Internet from the FreeBSD machine without any problems. The problem that I am having is trying to use the FreeBSD machine as the gateway for the other computers on the local network (about 5 other machines). Here are my IPs that I use: 205.246.81.113->205.246.81.127. There are 15 of em. I am using 255.255.255.240 for my netmask on all the machine on the local net. I have my FreeBSD box (athena) using 205.246.81.113 for ed1 and ppp0. The terminal server that pppd connects to always gives me 205.246.81.113:205.246.83.35. All the other machines (Win95, WinNT, and 3.11) machines use 205.246.81.113 (athena) as the gateway. Should I be using the remote ip that ppp0 uses (205.246.83.35)? (I don't think so, since it is 83.35 not in 81.) Here is some of my sysconfig that related to routing and gateways: # Set to the name of your host - this is pretty important! hostname="athena.mycrowynn.com" # Set to the NIS domainname of your host, or NO if none defaultdomainname=NO ... network_interfaces="ed1 lo0" ifconfig_ed1="inet 205.246.81.113 netmask 255.255.255.240 link1" ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost" ... static_routes="multicast loopback" route_multicast="224.0.0.0 -netmask 0xf0000000 -interface ${hostname}" route_loopback="${hostname} localhost" ... # Set to the host you'd like set as your default router, or NO defaultrouter=NO # These are the flags you'd like to start the routing daemon with routedflags=-q ... # If you want this host to be a gateway, set to YES. gateway=YES # Set to YES if you want to run gated gated=NO And here is my netmask -rn (ppp0 is up here): Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 205.246.83.35 UGc 0 0 ppp0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 1 0 lo0 205.246.81.112 link#1 UC 1 0 205.246.81.113 127.0.0.1 UGHS 0 0 lo0 205.246.83.35 205.246.81.113 UH 2 0 ppp0 224 link#1 UCS 0 0 ------ OK the problem: My apollo machine (Win95) has an ip 205.246.81.115. Netmask for apollo is 255.255.255.240, and the gateway is the FreeBSD box (athena) 205.246.81.113. I can ping any machine on the local net. If I use tracert -d to access a host outside (say ftp.cdrom.com), It will give me: D:\WIN95>tracert -d 192.215.191.11 Tracing route to 192.215.191.11 over a maximum of 30 hops 1 2 ms 1 ms 1 ms 205.246.81.113 2 * * * Request timed out. 3 * * * Request timed out. 4 D:\WIN95> The problem seems to be that FreeBSD is not routing the address from ed1 to ppp0.

Any ideas? The lkm is loaded into the kernel at run time, rather than being compiled into it, so if you reboot, you'll need to run the modload command again (this can be put into /etc/rc.local if it annoys you). If that doesn't help, I'm afraid I don't know.

The company is named JCC (Japan Computer Corporation). I communicated via email with Jim Salter of FirePower (who posts occasionally on the comp.sys.powerpc news group, who was claiming the JCC BSD4.4 port for their hardware (A box based on an OEM of the Motorolla Ultra board). Jim gave me a contact at JCC, who I subsequently contacted and asked if the code for the 4.4BSD-Lite port they did was based on any of the free source bases, and if there was intent to donate the code changes back to the BSD community (both to alleviate future reintegration costs and to offload some of their engineering burden and device driver support burden). Initial response from JCC's US representative was very positive, and he was just heading to Japan at the time and promised to raise the question with their corporate management. Lately all I've gotten in response to my queries is a form autoresponse, so I've tabled that and gone forward with my own code. > Incidentally, are you part of a serious effort at porting FreeBSD to > PowerPC platform(s)? Which one(s)? And how far along is the effort? I am seriously doing a port, though it has been suffering trying to rush on a PCI33 21064 based DEC Alpha port. That is no longer a problem, since the loaner equipment has been recalled by the sales department at the company (Jeffrey Hsu was the lead engineer; I was hacking, most recently, console code). I am using a Motorolla Ultra 603 board based machine. This is the same board as the FirePower systems and is the same one in several Motorolla PowerStack systems. I have an outstanding offer of discounted equipment from the Be, Inc. Developer program. I have email from Gassee stating that documentation for a port would be available. I just have to get back with how many machines I think the project will need... right now the count is "1". 8-). The current status of the port is that I've called up Arrow Electronics and ordered ~$220 of documentation out of my own pocket. They are verifying with Motorolla, and want to FAX me a "what will you do with this information form". This is alomost a NOP (a real waste), since the documentation for PPCBug is going to be obsolete some time soon (to be replaced by OpenFirmware). But I can't debug my paging until I debug my console, and I can't debug my console until I get the PPCBug documentation. Right now, I can use the AIX bootstrap to load a kernel and load a shell as init, but it blows up if I load init as init. Alan Briggs (from the NetBSD camp) has also expressed interest, as have one or two others (mainly on the new PCRP(?) Apple boxes). > Thanks for your time. :) That's fine. This is probably more information than you want to know anyway. 8-). Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

Fournier" To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: IOZone Benchmarking... Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi... I'm just curious as to what I should be expecting in the way of values from iozone. My system is now a 486DX4-100 w/ 16Meg of RAM, just upgraded from a 386DX40 w/ 8Meg of RAM...and I swear its slower, and iozone just confirmed it for me. I'm running *-current, and under the 386, 'iozone 10' was showing readings like: 723935bytes/sec write, 873244bytes/sec read (IDE Maxtor 7345AT) Under the 486, using the onboard IDE in 32bit mode, I'm seeing IOZONE performance measurements: 313153 bytes/second for writing the file 383041 bytes/second for reading the file A substantial drop. My SCSI drives *were* showing something like: 846265bytes/sec, 1203746bytes/sec Now: IOZONE performance measurements: 514638 bytes/second for writing the file 590487 bytes/second for reading the file Again, a serious drop. Of key issue to what I'm noticing would be running software, like pine, that is slow to start, which I assume is due to the shared libraries. With performance on the IDE drive's ability to read dropped by at least a third...the slowdown kinda makes sense... I think this probably accounts for my poor system performance altho the upgrade from 386DX40 to 486DX4-100 *should* have made what I would consider a substantial improvement...especially with double the RAM. Both systems, for SCSI, are using an Adaptec 1542CF controller, so my SCSI controller hasn't changed. The motherboard is an ACER AP43 motherboard, with 4ISA-AT slots and 3PCI. I'm using one of the PCI for an ATI Mach64 video card, and one ISA slot for the Adaptec controller. I'm using onboard IDE/floppy and serial, and as such, have no other cards installed in this machine. Any recommendations/similar experiences are much appreciated... Marc G.

Send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org, using no subject (it's ignored anyways) and one line commands. "help" gets you a good command summary, "lists" will get you the complete set of lists run from that majordomo, and (for each listname you find interesting) entering "info listname" will get you info on that list.

I'm installing from floppies and have created the boot.flp raw image (and the root.flp raw image as well). The FreeBSD boot starts up fine, but after I've selected which drivers to disable (and I've tried the default boot method AND the "-c" option as well), I get this: npx0: 387 emulator rootfs is 1000 Kbyte compiled in MFS I assume that's normal...but this next part likely isn't: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0x0 fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8: 0xf18c82d code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x16 = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor flags = interrupt enables, resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 1 (swapper) interrupt mask = net tty bio panic: page fault syncing disks... done Automatic reboot in 15 seconds -- press a key on the console to abort Now I'm _sure_ that's not normal :> There's nothing special or idiosyncratic about any of my hardware (standard IDE hard drive, 2 floppy drives...everything is run-of-the-mill, never had any troubles with anything before). I'm wondering if it's lack of memory or if there is a flaw in the boot image. I followed all the steps exactly (did them twice just to make sure) to create the boot image, and none of the times has it gone any farther in the installation than that. Any ideas? Fixes? I plan to buy a new machine, but it just won't happen yet :> and I'd like to get a bit of a feel for FreeBSD, since that's the OS that I plan to use. Shawn Halpenny B. Sc.

They have a support service (which hovever seems to spend much of its bandwidth on whether your maintenance contract has been paid, what the invoice number was etc). IMHO its development is static and there are relatively few new drivers. I have switched to FreeBSD. Aside from price, I have found having full source, and **friendly** help from really knowledgable developers, makes the difference. FreeBSD 2.1.0 is very stable and performs very well and it has a great installation proceedure. jbeukema On Fri, 15 Dec 1995, Paul Howard Gray wrote: > I am working with a team assigned to get an Internet host up and running > that will ultimately support multiple LANs on each of 5 campuses running a > variety of O\S including NetWare and NT and others.

You _will_ want to find a local Unix consultant familiar with your chosen platform (Obviously, I too would be advising you to consider FreeBSD 2.1.0 very seriously), or alternatively recruit a BSD unix familiar administrator with experience in this field into your team. You _will_not_ be able to achieve anything significant in a situation where "time pressure" exists if you are learning as you go. Save yourself the ulcer and the stress, and do the job properly. > > Paul H.

I just installed 2.1 and try to log in as su but the system wants a password. I set a password for root in the Install program but this doesn't do it. What the heck is the password? Second, I installed X312 through the Install program. I ran the config program through the Install program. I try to "startx" or "xinit" and I get command not found. I chmod-ed /usr with u+x. Can you help me with this? I also want to say that the Install program is MUCH better than 2.0.5.

First, you don't log in as `su' ... you log in as a non-root user and then type the `su' command to get root privileges. For example, on my system, I log in as `kelly' and to do my work, fun, and games. When I need to administrate the system, I type `su'. Or, you can log in as `root'. It's better to log in with your own account first and use the `su' command though: for one, you can tell who's been using root priveleges that way---if you go through the logs, and if they're intact. Dale> I set a password for root in the Install program but this Dale> doesn't do it. What the heck is the password? Root's password is what you set for root during the install. If you've mistyped or forgotten it, boot your system in single user mode (type `-s' at the `boot:' prompt) and reset root's password---unless you've marked /dev/console as insecure, in which case you'll really need to try to remember the root password. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory, Boulder Colorado USA Sometimes, when I drive across the desert in the middle of the night, with no other cars around, I start imagining: What if there were no civilization out there? No cities, no factories, no people? And then I think: No people or factories? Then who made this car? And this highway? And I get so confused I have to stick my head out the window into the driving rain - unless there's lightning, because I could get struck on the head by a bolt. -- Jack Handey
