Yup, get in touch with Netscape. They will tell you how to go about getting the RSA authentication certificate, which is what you will need before they will sell it to you.

No, this is not true, I called Netscape a few weeks ago: Me: Hi, I work for one of the many ISP's in the world and we are exploring the option of getting a netsite commerce server, I just have a few questions. Netscape: uhh, ok. Me: The first is in relation to platform availability. You list the BSDi platform as one of the platforms which will accept netsite. I know from experience that FreeBSD will handle BSDi executables and the like, and I was wondering if you have heard of any experiences in relation to this. Netscape: uhh, we only support xxx-OS, and xxx-OS [list forgotten]. Me: Yes, I know, but I was wondering if you have heard of anybody who has tried to run it on FreeBSD, using the BSDi executables, as it should-- in theory--be relatively the same. Netscape: if it is not one of the operating systems we have listed, we do not support it. (sigh, eats pencil at this point) Me: YES, I know that, I will get back to you later [click].

I suspect the installation kernel only supports 64M. Try installing with 64MB and building a new kernel with options "MAXMEM=98304" in the config file. Then add the extra 32M and reboot!

There are a few "extensions" to SLIP that do, but I don't believe the FreeBSD implementation is one of them. PPP (assuming it's available) is the obvious solution to this problem.

Getting it from floppy should work as far as I know. What was the error message? I would double-check all the "obvious" things (did you download it in binary mode, did you use rawrite.exe to write it out, did someone switch the boot floppy and the root floppy when you weren't looking, etc).

You should get offered the chance to insert a root floppy if it doesn't load from the hard disk. When it's finished with the root floppy, it will go back to the hard disk for the rest of the distribution (at least that's how it works for me with NFS - I don't have any DOS disks).

With the scripts in /etc/ppp, I've got my USR 28.8 connecting to the USR at work. ...But don't I need to set the modem to _not_ drop DTR (&D0) before PPP will work? Is there a way to do this via software commands to the modem? With my WorldBlazer set in position "A", it is configured with (&D0) so that the slip program I wrote dials into work, connects, then kills the connection and exec's the slip script. The script slattach's me, does and ifconfig, the route add line, and telnet's me directly into the main server. It will probably take me a couple weeks to port this from my SVR4 (HDB uucp) over. Do I need to? Does /usr/sbin/sliplogin do this? To boil this down, I'm looking for a a way to get PPP (which is new to me) working. And SLIP, if possible. If this mail has confused the blazes out of you and you can send help, tips, config samples, I'd be much obliged! The PPP and SLIP FAQ's in /usr/share (v2.0.5) are a bit dated. (I'm willing to write up some new ones once I understand things.) Thanks to several people, I've made much faster progress that I'd imagined so far. Both tip and uucp work.

What's worst, every now and then when someone does a big binary distribution /release back to the server, all other access to source files (read only in most cases) are getting unbearable NFS time-out! Ok, all the machines are FreeBSD 2.1R, anyway. Now, we want to dedicate a new interface and a separate `physical' segment for the server for big binaries write access, but without having to use up a different subnet (scarce). So, ideally, the new interface must be on the same logical subnet as the existing one, but it is on a different physical segment. Is this doable ? We are looking at some possibility to dedicate a 100Mbps segment for the heavy distribution process if this will work, at least in theory. From memory there is no restriction on physical interface and logical subnet. Please correct me if this is not true. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2i iQCVAwUBMNSls0mThh0X7Um5AQHWpQP/TlAgO3sKaKQH1Yft5PTpnjcQzlfuQ29Z asgiAKwqer24/l6T2Wspucw4e0K/L8p60fcpFkyeoHQEYeclFZb8rowPB78+XRzu 0eXMgpxGY5rUbm6KRHVwVUrHUZy0UEmazSO423uJCJuDE8xlWuNj5yQdM1aNYgH2 hPAeLpb/1Qg= =H+rt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 17 15:25:33 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id PAA04236 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 17 Dec 1995 15:25:33 -0800 (PST) Received: from hp.com (hp.com [15.255.152.4]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id PAA04220 for ; Sun, 17 Dec 1995 15:25:29 -0800 (PST) Received: from hpautobo.aus.hp.com by hp.com with ESMTP (1.37.109.16/15.5+ECS 3.3) id AA092942723; Sun, 17 Dec 1995 15:25:26 -0800 Message-Id: <199512172325.AA092942723@hp.com> Received: by hpautobo.aus.hp.com (1.37.109.16/16.2) id AA173782721; Mon, 18 Dec 1995 10:25:21 +1100 From: M C Wong Subject: [2.1] Hylafax problem when receiving incoming fax To: freebsd-questions@freefall.FreeBSD.org (freebsd-questions@freefall.cdrom.com) Date: Mon, 18 Dec 95 10:25:21 EDT Mailer: Elm [revision: 70.85] Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Ok, Installed the HylaFAX package for 2.1R, and it has no problem sending fax.

Do you have the appropriate directory in your path? If you have a /bin/sh as your login shell, type "echo $PATH". If you use a csh type "set" and see if the "path" variable contains /usr/X11R6/bin.

My question is when I telnet to anywhere, I have to suffix a ( port) 23 ie. telnet imagi.net 23. I don't understand why. I've seen the 4 lines at the end of the file about telnet for one as well as mention in the man pages etc but so far haven't seen anything about how it may be changed or what it really means etc. Can someone enlighten me please? I didn't know just what i should include in this message since the modifications to the .conf were ust to the lines specified. Thanks in advance for any info & thanks to the people creating this great package. One more question, please does anyone know when the subscription CD's from walnut Creek will be mailed out?

Before I get to my problem, I'd like to express amazement and joy at the 2.1 release. I played with 1.0 and 1.1 and 1.1.5.1 (even got SLIP working, which for me was nontrivial as my serial port devices did not behave out of the box.) Anyway, the install and package system on 2.1 is awesome. That having been said, maybe the pump is primed for an answer to my question. I am running a 3c509 with the ep0 device driver. Everything works fine, but my console spits out "Status: 2002" about 4 times an hour when the machine is up. I tried to RTFM, but there's no ep manpage, and grepping and man -k didn't help me much either. SInce I don't exactly control the network here, I want to find out what this Status message means and how it might impact my use of the network.

If you're in ftp.freebsd.org, if the directory is inn for instance, do 'get inn.tar.gz' and it will zip up and download the whole directory. 2) Extract the above archive into a temporary location. 3) su to root. 4) Go into the unzipped directory (inn for instance) and type 'make install'. the port will download the proper file (if you don't have it), patch, compile, and install.

I have two questions today: 1.) I want to connect my FreeBSD box to the internet through my service provider in order to get the networking packages from the 'Net'. I'm used to using Procomm or Terminal in the DOS world to dial the modem, etc. What do I use in FreeBSD to do this? Where can I get it? I'd get it using a DOS machine but mounting a DOS partition to copy over the programs to FreeBSD is beyond my understanding right now.... Second, once I get the programs I need (specifically httpd), do I just put them in /etc or some directory and then run them? Are there instructions with each? Does FreeBSD Come with a gunzip untility? Where is it? Thankss, I'm really under the gun to get this server connected to a T1 and get a classroom set up. And I just need some startup help. Once I get going I'm pretty sure I can do it.

Also, Excite's new free downloadable search engine (www.excite.com/navigator) also bombs with a Bus Error when you try to compile their code. What are the actual problems with BSDI and FReeBSD that make them semi compatible? I know NEtscape had a Memory fualt for their BSDI port that when they issued a patch fixed the problem with FreeBSD. I would think these other companies could supply the same patch. Any thought? I need a decent search engine similar to either Excite, which Netscape uses so I can search my web site.

Typical values for a filesystem used by news-spool: 80% blocks, 100% inodes for 'newfs' (without any options), 100% blocks, 70% inodes for 'newfs -i 4096'. (This is a contradiction to newfs manpage which claims 'newfs' equal to 'newfs -i 2048' and should be fixed to 'newfs' equal to 'newfs -i 8192'.)

Forget Intel; get the AMD DX4/100. It's just as good as the Intel, but significantly cheaper. I run FreeBSD and Win95 on AMD DX4/100 systems, and this chip performs like a champ!

As suggested in the installation notes; run 'pfdisk' or 'fips' under DOS, and they will tell you. Boot with the '-v' flag, and the kernel will tell you. Run the diagnostic tools supplied with most host adapters, and they will tell you. The information is available; instructions on how to obtain it are available.

You are out of context, unless AMD have upgraded their range recently; we're talking about a 5V only motherboard here; all of the AMD DX4's I have met are 3V parts.

The Frequently Asked Questions list has a section on `serial communications' which, although a tad outdated, does have some stuff which might get you started with file transfers using `tip'. A copy of the FAQ is in /usr/share/doc/FAQ, if you're running FreeBSD 2.1; in /usr/share/FAQ/Text, if you're running FreeBSD 2.0.5; and in http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/freebsd-faq.html. Dale> Second, once I get the programs I need (specifically httpd), Dale> do I just put them in /etc or some directory and then run Dale> them? Not quite ... many programs from the Internet are a simple matter of editing a Makefile or a configuration file, typing `make' and `make install'. Sometimes, you do have to edit the source code a bit to accomodate each Unix's little set of quirks. That's where the FreeBSD ports and packages collections make life simple. The packages are precompiled and ready-to-install. The ports are automated ways to configure a program for FreeBSD, compile, and install. The FreeBSD Handbook (/usr/share/doc/handbook on FreeBSD 2.1, or in http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook.html) has lots of information about them. Since you're interested in WWW servers, there are two pre-compiled packages on the CD-ROM and the Internet you might want to investigate: apache-0.8.14.tgz and cern_httpd-3.0.tgz. Just type pkg_add followed by the pathname to one of those files and that software will be installed. Then you just have to configure it. Dale> Are there instructions with each? Almost always. Dale> Does FreeBSD Come with a gunzip untility? Where is it? It does: /usr/bin/gunzip; or run /usr/bin/gzip -d. A lot of Unix file archives are compressed with /usr/bin/compress and can be uncompressed with /usr/bin/uncompress. gzip should understand compressed files. Finally, the tar program, which is used to make most file archives in Unix, supports a `z' option which can automatically deal with compressed and gzip'ed files.

I also watch the network to see if multicast session broadcast are making it from the mrouted to the net by running as root: tcpdump net 224 The application map-mbone is a nice application to run, but it won't tell why your local tunnel is not working.

When I installed FreeBSD v.21, I chose "Average User - Binaries and doc but no sources" installation to save my hard disk space (small hard disk). The installation seemed OK because I could boot, execute all the UNIX command and add packages (using pkg_add and pkg_delete command). Right now I am facing a problem. According to the "http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook28.html" page, I have to have /usr/ports/distfiles file to allow me porting INN news from either CD-ROM or internet. I checked my system and the system does not have /usr/ports/distfiles. Can you tell me where I can get this file (I checked ftp.freebsd.org and I could not find the directory) or did I install FreeBSD wrong? Thanks in advance.

No - because the ONLY thing in the install notes is to try a dos partition on it and hope sysinstall can figure it out from that.

FIPS created the new partition without any errors. Now, I am trying to install FreeBSD using the installation disk. Everything goes well (most of my devices are configured correctly - including the main ones like hard disk controllers, floppy disk, cdrom, mouse, serial and parallel ports, etc.); I go for the Novice installation, and create the new partition, use "none" boot manager, Auto defaults for various sub-partitions (like /, /usr, /var, /swap), and choose "MS-DOS partition" for media. Now, I had copied over the directories using FTP from the mirror site as described before, and thus created the c:\freebsd and sub-directories; is this the same as copying them from CD-ROM as described in the installation guide. Well, when I go ahead for installation, I either get "Failed to load root distribution; correct this problem" error, or when the installation does proceed I get "Write Failure on transfer ! Wrote -1 bytes of 10240 bytes". The Write failure occurs while/during creating "bin", "dict", "compatxx", etc. Thus, the installation does not proceed, and I go back to square one. Well, should I be using CD-ROM instead (was trying to avoid spending money for it) ? or am I doing something wrong ? or should I have copied all the directories on floppy-diskettes and then done the installation ? or the files I have downloaded are corrupted (when I observe the screen using ALT-F2 I see that when it's reading stuff it complains of bad checksum header, corrupted data, etc. however, when I downloaded the files I never got any errors). Your inputs will be greatly appreciated. I downloaded the files using a 28.8 Modem/GNN Web Browser/running Windows 95/ftp protocol; the files were saved to the disk directly.

The "bad superblock" message indicates that the superblock is corrupt. Typicall this will happen only in the case that something is writing that area of your disk. My first suspect would be the MSDOS FS. Are you mounting your DOS partition read/write? Don't. Other possibilities include: placement of the BSD partition on disk is inconsistent with the partition table and/or disklabel data. Are you sure you told the install the geoemetry that your IDE drive uses?

One of the features of more is that the translates non-printable codes; this is so you can more a file and you won't end up with your terminal put into a squirrelly state by embedded controls. You might want to install "less" from the packages and examine the man page for it... I believe it supports a command line option to suppress translation.

Core dumps wouldn't be core dumps if they were runnable. The big problem with a core dump is that the condition that caused the dump to occur exists in the state of the dump as an imminent problem after an undump. The next big problem is that you can't reopen the fd's associated with the fd's the process had open, since they file names aren't part of the state information. The next big problem is that even if you modify the application to rememebr the file names, the state associated with fd's that are network connections is not necessarily recoverable. Then there are the architectural problems... What is it you want? Checkpoint/restart? There are packages for that, but they certainly don't involve undumping core files.

Check SunOS... there is an undump type program (forget it's name) which allows you to take something like perl or (AFAIR) smalltalk, and run them with a piece of code to compile. Once compiled, the compiled code calls a fn which causes a core dump. You can then undump this to get the ``pre-compiled'' version of the code. If memory serves, this is how LaTeX for SPARC is produced (you run TeX with latex.tex loaded or whatever, and then dump it).

Is there an undump > program to take a core dump and run it? None of this amusing exchange, of course, answers the original question. Personally, I like Terry Lambert's suggestion best :-) However, I think the original question referred to something more along the following lines. Excerpt from the FreeBSD perlrun(1) man page: -u causes Perl to dump core after compiling your script. You can then take this core dump and turn it into an executable file by using the undump program (not supplied). This speeds startup at the expense of some disk space (which you can minimize by stripping the executable). (Still, a "hello world" executable comes out to about 200K on my machine.) If you want to execute a portion of your script before dumping, use the dump() operator instead. Note: availability of undump is platform specific and may not be available for a specific port of Perl. I found the following information at http://ancho.ucs.indiana.edu/FAQ/Perl/P3.11.html 3.11) What is undump and where can I get it? The undump program comes from the TeX distribution. If you have TeX, then you may have a working undump. If you don't, and you can't get one, *AND* you have a GNU emacs working on your machine that can clone itself, then you might try taking its unexec() function and compiling Perl with -DUNEXEC, which will make Perl call unexec() instead of abort(). You'll have to add unexec.o to the objects line in the Makefile. If you succeed, post to comp.lang.perl about your experience so others can benefit from it. If you have a version of undump that works with Perl, please submit its anon-FTP whereabouts to the FAQ maintainer. I don't know how recent that information is. There's unsupported source in "http://www.cdrom.com/pub/perl/util/undump/". Whether it'll work on FreeBSD is a question for someone more knowledgeable than I. ---- Brian Clapper, bmc@telebase.com, http://www.netaxs.com/~bmc/ There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies and the other is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. -- C. A. R.

Don't do anything in your program which has to be re-run everytime the program is re-started. FWIW, the original 386bsd->FreeBSD 1.0 upgrade script consisted of two un-dumped perl scripts. It was easier to provide a binary which did the upgrade rather than provide perl and the script both, so I had perl dump core and then found a version of undump on the net and compiled it for FreeBSD. However, that was 2 years ago, so I doubt I'd be able to find it. However, you might try archie or lycos and see if you can find it.

Thanks. I found it on SunOS, but it would be great if I can get it for FreeBSD.

You mean the interpreter with the preloaded data for a particular program instead of its default (zeroed and agregate initialized) data. Which is a far cry from a real binary for something. It's a binary for the interpreted version of the thing, with a different initialized data set than from the compile. The original collosal cave did this to "copy protect" it. > If memory serves, this is how LaTeX for SPARC is produced (you run TeX > with latex.tex loaded or whatever, and then dump it). As long as you understand that this is not a mechanism for doing a checkpoint/restart, fine. Typically it is very specific to the core dump (^\) signal handling function and the dum occuring after a flag is set in the handler to tell it to not reenter (since the PC for the program at the time of the dump will be in the handler). This is inferior to writing real code, and is only a teeny savings over resetting the interpreter state to the base level and doing the restart to get the state back to the undump'ed "ground state". I would not expect it to successfully remap shared libraries without a hell of a lot of effort. I have seen several programs in com.source.unix and a modified one for emacs float by on the hackers list. You should check there. This is not typically something which people would want to do. In fact, it's a silly thing to want to do in all but a few cases, and in those cases, a checkpoint/restart mechanis, is probably superior.

I'm not on these lists. I've just got my V34 leased line installed, and I'm trying to configure my FreeBSD 2.0.5 gateway to use it. I've tried both pppd and ppp, and none of this come with enough documentation about leased line operations. I'd prefer to stay with PPP, but if you can suggest a quick configuration using SLIP, I'd be willing to try it (at least temporarly). My ISP has a CISCO router, if that matter. We have a full class "C" address, plus one external address to use for the PPP port, provided the latter is mandatory. We have been using iijppp over a dial up connection with the same ISP for more than 6 months: I've tried to adapt the previous configuration, without luck: it logs hand-triggered line drops (DCD level change detection ?), but it never connects. I run ppp -dedicated, but it's not clear what this option is meant for. Of course, the modems speak to each other: they connect correctly at 28.8 (I can see it if I run tip on that serial port). Please, if you have some experience with leased lines, feel free to ask anything you may need to diagnose my problems. Failure reports also welcome: better to know what to avoid.... If this is not a task I can solve with this release of FreeBSD, I can try and find something else, while waiting for further development. Thanks in advance.

That is, it will allow you to be lazy about precalculating information that you precaclulate in perl instead of doing so outside of perl and updating your actual perl code appropriately. It will not "compile" the perl program to a "binary". It will make a copy of the existing perl interpreter, and fill out some auto data (including the default stack an PC). There is no significant advantage to this approach over restructuring your perl script based on splitting the precaclulation out to allow you to execute it only once and hard-code the results in the perl script. The resulting "binary" will run at the same speed. The one potential advantage, "copy protection", is lost if anyone wants to take the trouble to take the core image data sections vs. a "standard" perl binary, and dump them out. That is, the amount of effort to "crack" this is similar to the amount of effort necessary to make "undump" work. I believe the emacs "unexec" works on FreeBSD, or did last time I looked. You can get the same functionality by using that instead (as has been suggested by others), if you don't want to hassle with doing a port of "undump". This may be mildly useful for a perl program that was written such that it's hard to update modularly to take advantage of seperate precalculation; IMO, I'd rather fix the perl program than make the undump work.

Actually, since perl 'pre-compiles' code ahead of time, you will end up with the pre-compiled perl binary (in it's internal state), which is *much* faster to run since none of the error/syntax checking is done, plus you get the added benefit of not needing the perl binary on your distributed system. (However, this is a moot point for any FreeBSD 2.X system which comes with perl pre-installed). However, if you are using Perl 5, it can make it easier for you to not have to distribute a bunch of loadable modules if you 'core' the program after all of them have been loaded. > There is no significant advantage to this approach over restructuring > your perl script based on splitting the precaclulation out to allow > you to execute it only once and hard-code the results in the perl > script.

If you don't know how perl does it's thing, don't assume it acts like every other 'script' language you've used. If I gave you an core/un-dumped perl program, you'd have almost as much (possibly more) difficulty in trying to re-create it as you would trying to re-create a C program from it's core image.

The syntax checking is in the token prepass. This is a textbook interpreter implementatrion.

If the second case, then you should arrange to dump the perl interpreter and the token image 10 or more times to get even more speed out of it. 8-). > If I gave you an core/un-dumped perl program, you'd have almost as much > (possibly more) difficulty in trying to re-create it as you would trying > to re-create a C program from it's core image. If I had sources to perl to determine the token values and memory management, I could get the information out. The point is, you'd have to be charging me more than I'm willing to pay for a core dump for it to be worth my while. Couldn't be any harder than "uncompiling" Pascal code on a UCSD P system (like a Terak).

It'll work if you "fix the question." I assume you're talking about creating a separate channel from one client machine to a server of some sort. Simple enough - just stick a second ethernet interface in the two machines in question and assign them addresses in a PRIVATE network. No subnetting required, and you *don't want* either machine to forward between the private network and their "normal" network. Now, use the addresses or hostnames on the private network for whatever data sharing you want going on. I.e.: -----+-------+--------+------+--------+------ disney.com | | | | | Mickey Minnie Donald Goofey Scrooge | | +---------------+ duck.net Where duck.net is a private class C network using one of the IP network addresses recommended in RFC1597, typically 192.168.0. Since these IP addresses are *never* propogated outside the donald-scrooge link, you don't have to worry about subnetting, dns, or anything like that. If this 2nd network is being used as a high-speed link for NFS, for instance, donald would nfs mount from scrooge.duck.net as opposed to scrooge.disney.com. You will, of course, have to have the hostnames for duck.net in your host files or on a DNS server that is private to duck.net.

Umm, once the syntax checking and optimizer is done, you can't optimize it more. Even with the implicit smiley it makes abosultely no sense.

Yes, if multiple processes map a file the memory will be shared. If the file is mapped read/write shared, then changes made by others will be seen in all processes. If the file is mapped "MAP_PRIVATE", then changes will not be seen by other processes (the modified page is first copied), but unmodified portions will continue to be shared. -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Dec 18 20:39:04 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id UAA20183 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 18 Dec 1995 20:39:04 -0800 (PST) Received: from postgres95.vnet.net (oozoo.vnet.net [166.82.1.71]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id UAA20166 for ; Mon, 18 Dec 1995 20:38:58 -0800 (PST) Received: (from jason@localhost) by postgres95.vnet.net (8.6.12/8.6.12) id XAA07559; Mon, 18 Dec 1995 23:42:05 -0500 From: Jason Wright Message-Id: <199512190442.XAA07559@postgres95.vnet.net> Subject: reboots (SCSI) To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Mon, 18 Dec 1995 23:42:03 -0500 (EST) Cc: jason@oozoo.vnet.net (Jason Wright) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I've been having the worst luck here of late using FreeBSD as a file server.

The basic question that I have is whether it is a "correct" practice, according to Internet standards, to use the same IP address on two different network interfaces in the same machine. ( such as a point to point link, and an Ethernet interface ) I have created two figures which help to better illustrate my question. Assuming that routers 1 and 2 could be a FreeBSD machine, or an actual router, and that the network between them could be either a SLIP/PPP connection, or a leased connection, which of the two is the more "correct" way of doing things? It appears, to me, that the first figure is more "correct", assuming that we actually have the three class C network numbers, because we are not duplicating IP addresses on two different interfaces. This is also the way that most of the larger network providers seem to do things, usually with a netmask of 255.255.255.252 on the "middle" network. Although, I have seen some smaller ISP which use the second figure...possibly because they don't have excessive amounts of address space to burn... :) I would like to think that I have a fairly good understanding of TCP/IP, but I can't seem to find a definitive answer to this question... Any insight would be helpful.

Notice its current value, make (a backup will be a good idea) 'newfs -i 4096' and compare available inodes to its old value. If you get double, 4096 is right (and the manpage wrong). If 'newfs -i 1024' gives double inodes, 4096 is wrong an manpage right. If I remember right, 4096 is right.

Walnut Creek provides SIGNIFICANT support for the FreeBSD project. 1) They supply development hardware. 2) They supply Internet connectivity. and 3) They pay the salary of Jordan to work FULL TIME on FreeBSD. Frankly, I don't see how they are making enough on all the FreeBSD materials to provide this much support and still break even on the P&L statement. ---- Richard Wackerbarth rkw@dataplex.net From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Dec 19 07:17:43 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id HAA13682 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 19 Dec 1995 07:17:43 -0800 (PST) Received: from zappa.cs.uncc.edu (zappa.cs.uncc.edu [152.15.35.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id HAA13670 Tue, 19 Dec 1995 07:17:35 -0800 (PST) From: jlrobins@zappa.cs.uncc.edu Received: by zappa.cs.uncc.edu (5.x/SMI-SVR4) id AA08256; Tue, 19 Dec 1995 10:08:22 -0500 Message-Id: <9512191508.AA08256@zappa.cs.uncc.edu> Subject: Re: XFree86; Where to from here?

ReSent-Message-ID: Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I recently attempted to perform a 'novice' install of FreeBSD on to a system and encountered a number of problems that I was hoping you could resolve for me. 1. When using the installers fdisk utility I chose to use my second Hard Drive rather than my C:. It showed the FAT, one partition and 4032 blocks unused on this drive. The disk in question was WD Caviar with 1.2GB total space and 600MB free and had been recently defragmented. I was curious why the installer couldn't see that there was free space to create a partition. 2. When ever I undid my actions associated with partitioning/labelling the installer would insist that I was trying to use my C: rather than the D: I had selected in a previous screen. This meant that once I had undone all changes I had to reboot and start the installation from scratch. 3. Next I downloaded FIPS and ran it creating 121MB partition on D:, this worked very well. I ran the installer again from the boot disk, this time when I got to the fdisk screen there were two large, used, partitions. I deleted the partition created by fips then created another using fdisk. this appeared to work so I continued with installation. I was installing from the dos partition on D:. I got an error message which said something like 'couldn't find installation files'. The installer then requested that I insert a root disk, I didn't have one so I pressed ok inserting the boot disk and the system froze. I restarted my machine and it wouldn't boot. I assumed that because I had been installing on to a partition on D: that my C: would have been safe. 4. It transpired that somehow the C: had been made unbootable and that the installer had wiped out the VFAT required by Win 95. Luckily I had a boot disk and from this managed to reinstall Win 95 from CD, after trying many other methods of fixing my dead C:. The re-installation as I hoped rectified the situation and I incurred, as far as I can tell, no data loss. 5. I am aware that backing-up is advisable prior to installations of this type however I was wondering if is safe to attempt another installation of FreeBSD, naturally I am hesitant. I was also curious as to whether the installers insistence to use C: (see point 2) was connected to the damage incurred on C: Any advice you could give on the above points would be greatly appreciated From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Dec 19 09:32:13 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id JAA23907 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 19 Dec 1995 09:32:13 -0800 (PST) Received: from phaeton.artisoft.com (phaeton.Artisoft.COM [198.17.250.211]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id JAA23898 for ; Tue, 19 Dec 1995 09:32:10 -0800 (PST) Received: (from terry@localhost) by phaeton.artisoft.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id KAA14686; Tue, 19 Dec 1995 10:28:58 -0700 From: Terry Lambert Message-Id: <199512191728.KAA14686@phaeton.artisoft.com> Subject: Re: ISODE port To: maint@spike.fa.gau.hu (Maintenance user) Date: Tue, 19 Dec 1995 10:28:58 -0700 (MST) Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG In-Reply-To: from "Maintenance user" at Dec 13, 95 00:23:58 am X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk > pepsy.o: Undefined symbol `_yylineno' referenced from text segment > pepsy-yacc.o: Undefined symbol `_yylineno' referenced from text segment > pepsy-yacc.o: Undefined symbol `_yylineno' referenced from text segment > pepsy-yacc.o: Undefined symbol `_yylineno' referenced from text segment > pepsy-yacc.o: Undefined symbol `_yylineno' referenced from text segment > pepsy-yacc.o: Undefined symbol `_yylineno' referenced from text segment > pepsy-yacc.o: Undefined symbol `_yylineno' referenced from text segment > *** Error code 1 BISON does not generate yylineno references for its parser core.

No, it means that your statement is tantamount to the claims of a 50% size reduction for *any* file using a recoverable compression algorithm. "Any file" includes one that has already been run through the compressor. Basically, if you can establish state such that it exists in the core image, you can establish the same state in core without generating an image. That is, all that is being talked about is storage format and load time (including time to get back to the desired state). > > > If I gave you an core/un-dumped perl program, you'd have almost as much > > > (possibly more) difficulty in trying to re-create it as you would trying > > > to re-create a C program from it's core image. > > > > If I had sources to perl to determine the token values and memory > > management, I could get the information out. > > In the same manner as you could re-create the 'C' code given the > original compiler sources and the resulting executable. Yes. There used to be an "uncc" program for the Berkeley Portable C compiler (not the GCC stuff, the one with the register pop order bug). The code wasn't terribly readable, but using cscope or some other symbolic editor, it'd be pretty easy to rename symbols until it was readable, and then comment that. I believe the Internet Worm was decompiled this way. The point is, it'd probably be cheaper than recreating your developement effort (and more fun, too), so you aren't achieving anything but a small level of obfuscation.

So, if the program takes 10 seconds to run as a 'perl + script', and it takes 5 seconds if it's a 'dumped' program, does the dumped program run faster? Geeze Terry, even after people give you actual *facts* which point out that you're wrong you'll continue to argue the point using useless semantics. I refuse to continue this useless conversation in public. I've already proven you wrong, yet you'll continue to argue the point until you can be right about *something*.

I made no such claims. I said the dumped version was faster than the un-dumped version. I stand behind that claim. I live in the real world and work with 'real' tools, not something which should exist but doesn't. We don't have check-pointing, nor was that even an issue until you brought it up. The request was for an 'undump' program so an individual could dump a perl binary and ship it. He didn't want a discussion on the relative merits of bload/bsave, checkpointing, or how useless it is.

Then you are mixing definitions for "subnets" and "subnet". If I have a wire named 137.190.32, I can have two wires named 137.190.32 with a bridge between them. If I have a FreeBSD box as the bridge, then the two network interfaces are connected to different wires, but the *same* subnet. I think you mean that you aren't alled to hook two cards in the same machine to the same wire. THAT makes sense.

Does your machine detect that it's an undumped program and initiate "turbo mode" automatically? If not, the answer is "no", it doesn't run faster. It *loads* faster. The *wall time* is shorter. It *runs* the same speed. For perl programs, loading is typically an insignificant part of the total run time. > Geeze Terry, even after people give you actual *facts* which point out > that you're wrong you'll continue to argue the point using useless > semantics.

How about this one: undump is an utterly bogus way of solving a problem that someone is too lazy to solve another way. I have no problem with selective laziness. I *do* have a problem with people rationalizing their laziness with bogus semantic arguments that what they are doing is "not really what they are doing because..."

(-O In my efforts to keep cost low, I have come up short on documentation. I recently purchased a NEC 1Gig drive and Adaptec 2842 SCSI controller card, but vendors at the computer didn't provide documentation. I would like to install FreeBSD 2.0 on this new disk in my 486 DX2/66Mhz VLB PC which currently has an 170MB IDE drive. My searches in the archives indicate that this is possible, but explicit explanations and/or directions as to HOW to do it were not given. Who out there can coach me through such an installation? I would like to keep a small DOS partition on the IDE disk and the majority of FreeBSD on the SCSI. Are there any Adaptec drivers I need to run FreeBSD? Where can I get them on the Internet? And, to further make it difficult, I would like to do the install via ftp and a modem. What helpful hints can you give me? Is there a prefered ISP in the Atlanta, GA area anyone would recommend?

I used to use it, but it has a few rough spots that were driving me crazy, so I went back to gnus since emacs is almost always running anyway. I think that if you are used to a text-based newsreader, you'll probably be happiest staying with it. The X based newsreaders just aren't as sophisticated as the old standards yet. Plus, all the fooling around with the mouse and whatnot can drive you crazy if you're used to being able to do everything without moving your hands from the home row. nn-tk and Knews are the only two threaded X newsreaders I know of. Knews 0.9.3 didn't handle using a larger font very gracefully, and completely flaked out when asked to use a proportional font. nn-tk beta 12 handled all that ok, but didn't process all the "article mode" commands correctly. I wasn't interested in non-threaded newsreaders, so didn't try any others. tknews' README said that threading was in the near future, so you might keep an eye out for it.

(SCSI has 1931 cylinders) I installed a 20 meg DOS partition on the SCSI so FreeBSD can figure out the geometry of the disk (as I read in the FAQ). I then booted form the boot floppy, selected Novice Installation, and made the appropriate partitions and filesystems (/,/var,/usr,swap). When the installation starts, I get: "Couldn't make filesystems properly. Aborting."

This is invalid, but as a special case we include hackery to make it work most of the time. It only works for you because the second link is a point-to-point interface, so the kernel installs a host route to the destination. If your situation were: 147.72.56.nnn/24 147.72.56.nnn/24 ==================|FreeBSD|================== Then it wouldn't work, because the kernel would be unable to figure out which interface to use. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

Yes, its the Netscape Commerce Server ... they certainly USED to be shipping BSDI 1.1 binaries rather then 2.0 binaries, which WILL work on 2.0.5R and 2.1.0R.

The upgrade itself went without a hitch (great job, Jordan). I did, however, experience a problem when I tried to rebuild my kernel. Apparently, the file "/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/matcd/matcd.h" should no longer be there, and it causes problems (matcd.c wouldn't compile) if it is there. I tracked that down when I got to work this morning -- it was the only file in that directory that apparently hadn't been touched during the upgrade. I dialed in to my home machine, moved matcd.h out of the way, and restarted the make; it finished with no complaints. I'm not going to try installing the new kernel until I get home, tho... Does anyone know of any other "leftovers" that could cause problems like that? Would I be better off rm-ing /usr/src and re-extracting the sources? PS Jordan -- It seems to me I've heard rumors that you're completely re-vamping the install/upgrade process.

Did you define defaultdomainname in /etc/sysconfig? I think it's a problem when you can't talk to a NIS server or something. One of our machines here had it set when it didn't need it, and had that same problem. Changing the line to read: defaultdomainname=NO fixed the problem.

The one I have in mind is a documentation / support CD. If it included the -questions archive, the handbook, the documentation project and the browsable kernel source. All in html or some other portable format, with a browser. You get the picture, setup so even a newbie could work it. Perhaps with ghostscript, chimera, xdvi etc in packages. Present it to WC ready to print, and ask for 5% of the profit for a hardware/development fund. I can tell you that I'd subscribe straight away. Since I run FreeBSD at home without a net link, I'd refer to it all the time. At work it'd be great since I could mount it under my web page heirarchy and browse at CD speed, rather that the dog slow AARNET speed here in Australia. This is a product I'd love to see!

Yes, just mount the DOS partition on a suitable point in the FreeBSD tree. eg if the DOS partition is slice 1 on an IDE HD, mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s1 /mnt (If you do this often it may be better to create another mount point such as /dos - /mnt is really meant for temporary mounts).

Actually /usr/ports/distfiles is a directory (it's where the source for the ports live). If I remember rightly, there's an option to set up the ports hierarchy during the installation. If you have a CDROM, you can just copy over the whole ports tree # cp -R /cdrom/ports/* /usr Alternatively, you can FTP down the ports tree without the distfiles and, every time you build a port, the source files will be automatically fetched and extracted as part of the build!

Yes, just mount the DOS partition under FreeBSD and then cat all the files for a particular distribution into a pipe and extract them. For example, with the manpages distribution, # mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s2 /mnt # cd / # cat /mnt/freebsd/manpages/manpages.* | tar xzvf - # umount /mnt Before you extract the files, it might be an idea to check where they are going. If you replace the 'x' (extract) flag by a 't' (test) in the tar command, it will list them without actually extracting them. If you find all that output distracting when doing it for real, omit the 'v' (verbose) flag. (NB I've assumed that the DOS partition is slice 2 of the first IDE hard disk, but it shouldn't be too hard to work out any necessary changes).

Do something like mount -t msdos -u dale -g 0 -m 755 /dev/sd0s3 /mnt (It's better to use mount with the filesystem type as an argument, though I can't remember why offhand). > Also, do I always have to type a ./ before a command? Only if the executable for the command is in the current directory. Unlike DOS, Unix doesn't look in the current directory for a command unless you tell it to. You can add '.' to your path to make it always look in the current directory. NEVER do this for root's path, though, as this constitutes a potential security hole, particularly if it's at the start of the path. Example: you're in the /tmp directory and you do an 'ls' to see what's in there. Unfortunately some humourous person has put a program in there called 'ls' that actually deletes all the files on the system. If the current directory is at the start of the path, this file is the one that will be executed, not the standard one... > And finally, what do you recommend for a PATH setting so I don't always > get "command not found?" On my system, root has PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin and my normal shell has /home/james/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin The /home/james/bin directory is for various odds and ends that I've written myself or downloaded from various places and find useful, but are unlikely to be of much interest to other users.

When I dial up the unix the modem answers and spews out 'crap' ie. The type of characters you never knew existed. If I use watch to look at the ttyd I get the login prompt on the watch screen. Using watch, everything acts normally and if I get output on stdout, corrosponding (in volume) 'crap' appears on the dial in terminal window. Typing anything (ie. returns) on the dial in window makes the 'rd' light on the modem flash, but nothing appears on the watch window. The appropriate line in /etc/ttys reads : ttyd2 "/usr/libexec/getty V19200" dialup on secure The appropriate line in /etc/gettytab reads : The appropriate line in /etc/rc.serial reads : stty -f /dev/ttyid2 crtscts I am running FreeBSD 2.1, the modems are both Avtek Mega DataFax 144.

No. This is the interface *to* the software emulation (or the hardware device if you happen to have one). It is non-optional. There is an option in GENERIC or LINT that lets you select the emulation type -- you need to make sure that is included in your configuration.

The configuration I would like to set up is: My ISP This box(tippy) ancient 386 ---------------------------------------------------------------- 166.82.1.201 <---------> 166.82.197.240 sl0 172.16.1.1 <----------->172.16.1.2 ed0 The slip connection works fine. Tippy is running under -current with 1288 as the latest delta applied. The 386 will hopefully soon run under 2.1-R. The cards on both boxes are found. The problem is when I set up the ether on tippy it times out. When I try and install 2.1 via NFS on the 386, ed1 either times out or I get an RPC port mapper error.

Well, the partitions are all in the form of: sd1e instead of: sd1s1e I looked through the handbook, but found nothing addressing this. Is the "s1" an artifact of making the other disks share space with other OS's? Am I being a hypochondriac in worrying about this?

When I dial up the unix the modem answers and spews out 'crap' ie. The type of characters you never knew existed. If I use watch to look at the ttyd I get the login prompt on the watch screen. Using watch, everything acts normally and if I get output on stdout, corrosponding (in volume) 'crap' appears on the dial in terminal window.

Andrew, You do not need to modify gettytab or rc.serial, (at least I didnt need to in 2.0.5 or 2.1), the only file you should need to modify is /etc/ttys My /etc/ttys line reads :- ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" dialup on insecure This is for a 28.8kbs modem on COM2 (is your modem on COM3 cause thats the port your config files point to.)

Sorry, I shouldn't have quoted Richards message to start with. I did get his point, and think WC are being great. I even give preferance to WC's other cd's because of their support for FreeBSD. I was really jumping in on an earlier topic in the "What ever happened to..." thread where people where tossing about ideas on how to get some new hardware. I wanted to think of a way to give WC a product to sell, with a minimum of risk & overhead on their part. Perhaps 5% of the subscription profit would be a fairer idea. Then they would know before a printing how many was the minimum they would sell, and exactly how much was to go to the hardware / development fund. I would hope that most of the regular FreeBSD community would subscribe, just to see something more come into the project.

Since your sd1 doesn't have any other operating systems on it there's nothing else to confuse it with so freeBSD drops it. You won't notice a difference.

Whether or not you use software emulation, the above device must be present. It is the kernel's link to either a math coprocessor or the software emulation.

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? In general, I would appreciate any suggestions for squeezing the last drop of performance out of this system. ----------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Dec 20 06:31:17 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id GAA20848 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 20 Dec 1995 06:31:17 -0800 (PST) Received: from buffnet1.buffnet.net (mmdf@buffnet1.buffnet.net [205.246.19.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id GAA20843 for ; Wed, 20 Dec 1995 06:31:15 -0800 (PST) Received: from buffnet7.buffnet.net by buffnet1.buffnet.net id aa14412; 20 Dec 95 9:33 EST Date: Wed, 20 Dec 1995 09:33:14 -0500 (EST) From: Stephen Hovey To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: slow 2.1& rlogind part 2 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I did some more testing - the 2.1 does not behave slowly if I rlogin from a freebsd to a freebsd - just if I do it from something else.

Ive been bashing my head against it all day - then finally I noted that stty on a telnet shows 9600 baud and on rloing it shows 57600. Since this is a network connections I figured 'what the heck' and I did an stty speed 9600 while in with rlogin. My screen draws speeded back up dramatically. I note that 2.0.5R showed 57600 with rlogin too, but was not adversly affected. So now it feels/seems like a flow control issue, or a pty issue or something. I have my functional work around (setting stty speed 9600) but it isnt a perfect one. If any knows enough about this to offer any ideas on what might be amiss or what I can more gracefully do to solve my chopping screen draws I would appreciated a note on it!

The Handbook says the GENERIC should be in /usr/src/sys/i386, but I don't even have anything in the /usr/src directory let alone the sys. I do have a file named kernel on my / directory and a kernel.GENERIC in the same place. I seem to have a /sys directory, but when I try to cd to it, BSD tells me there is no such directory. And vi denies it is a file. Anyway, the Handbook seems to be wrong for version 2.1. Are there instructions somewhere so I can get the nonexistant devices out of the kernel??

I would very much appreciate any assistance you can provide. I have a 486DX PC with two IDE hard drives. Drive 1 is 540MB is the master and has 1 partition. Drive 2 is 1.6GB is the slave and has 3 partitions (511MB, 511MB and 578MB). I want to leave Drive 1 as a DOS 6.0/Windows 3.1/WFW 3.11 drive so I can run normal PC stuff. I would like to use Drive 2 partition 1 as a DOS partition and the other two partitions for FreeBSD and UNIX stuff, but if I have to I could reserve all of Drive 2 for FreeBSD and UNIX stuff. When I had Drive 2 installed, I was told that my system did not have LDA capability and therefore (1) I could not use fdisk and (2) I had to use a Disk Manager (in this case the Western Digital Disk Manager) in order to install the 1.6GB drive. Here's the catch-22. 1. My system cannot use fdisk. 2. The Ontrack Disk Manager cannot work with UNIX. 3. The installation instructions for the Walnut Creek CDROM says to use pfdisk to verify the partition geometry however pfdisk does not see the third partition on Drive 2. 4. The installation instructions for the Walnut Creek CDROM uses fdisk and does not indicate how a Disk Manager software can be used. Additionally, I am using a Selective Boot program that controls if the system boots into DOS or WINDOWS. I would like to also be able to select UNIX as the third selection. I would appreciate any advice you could give me.

Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi there. I just got the 2.1 CDROM from Walnut Creek, and I was trying to find out if the problem I've been having with NFS clients killing my machine has been fixed. However, I looked at the RELNOTE.TXT file and also several others, and also poked around at ftp.freebsd.com but couldn't find the list of known corrected problems. Does such a thing exist? The README.TXT file actually refers you to the RELNOTES.TXT file for this info, but it's not there!!! Sorry if this is me being dumb....... Jon Flower p.s. My problem: I'm running 2.0.5, and if I CTRL-C out of an NFS intensive task (such as the link step of a large application), the machine hangs up with the disk rattling away like crazy. When I reset to bring the machine back I almost always lose parts of files that I've been working on -- probably because the cache didn't flush. The filesystem I'm working on is mounted as follows: twin:/home/twin2 /usr/home/twin2 nfs rw,soft,intr 0 0 Any clues as to whether this is fixed or not???? Thanks.

The bootdisk boots just fine, but whenever I go into the "Novice" section, it informs me that it could not locate my hard drive (a WD 3275s 2.1 gig SCSI drive, on id0). It seems to handle my NCR3c810 controller fine, and recognize the HP drive and my Matshita CR-504 (SCSI) CD-ROM drive, located on id0 and id1, respectively. As I select "Quit" from the install menu (my only real option), I can see error messages as the system reboots. Best as I can reassemble (I can't find a way to read them except in the few tenths of a second before the system reboots), the messages appear to be: sd0:ncr0(0:0:0) asc:4e,0 ABORTED COMMAND I've been through the freebsd.org mailing list archives, the hardware FAQ, etc, and can't seem to find anything remotely resembling this problem. The system is new (<1mth old), so hardware/configuration problems are possible, but it's worked well under Linux (redhat and debian) as well as *gasp* win95. Does anyone have any suggestions for possible fixes/places to look? Hell, I wouldn't mind just being able to *read* the error messages as they flew by.

The changes from the original version that I got from I don't remember where are briefly: 1. change /bin/passwd to /usr/bin/passwd 2. add new strings to structure of what to expect from passwd 3. delete code which looks at return code from openlog() 4. log failed attempts 5. fixed static character declaration for /dev/ptyXX 6. added a sleep(2) (can't remember why I had to do that) I started an expect version but never got around to finishing it.

Most things are the same as BSDI and it's quite easy to move. However I found my QIC tape doesn't work properly on FreeBSD, which was working perfect on BSDI. Symptom is, reading tapes with tar (which were written in my BSDI days and by other's Sun) fails. I tried copying some files using cp (like "cp /dev/rwt0", and vice versa), and found, it doesn't seem to read correct data (or writing may also be wrong). My tape drive is Wangtek 5150PK on isa and the setting is port = 0x338 and irq 5, drq 1. This setting is not default, but kernel detects correctly (message says: Dec 20 23:06:45 texas /kernel: wt0 at 0x338-0x339 irq 5 drq 1 on isa) because I modified the kernel configuration file. And my FreeBSD version is 2.1.0-RELEASE. I didn't change my configuration since I changed to FreeBSD, and of course this configuration was working perfectly on BSDI. So I would like to hear suggestions. Thanks in advance. -Tetsuji From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Dec 20 22:52:05 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id WAA17280 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 20 Dec 1995 22:52:05 -0800 (PST) Received: from genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au (genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au [129.127.96.120]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id WAA17274 for ; Wed, 20 Dec 1995 22:52:02 -0800 (PST) Received: from msmith@localhost by genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au (8.6.12/8.6.9) id RAA15007; Thu, 21 Dec 1995 17:24:52 +1030 From: Michael Smith Message-Id: <199512210654.RAA15007@genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au> Subject: Re: config boca modem problem To: mccrory@plk.af.mil Date: Thu, 21 Dec 1995 17:24:52 +1030 (CST) Cc: questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <199512201403.HAA24060@erebus.fc.dna.mil> from "Roy A.Mccrory" at Dec 20, 95 07:03:20 am MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Roy A.Mccrory stands accused of saying: > > I have a new internal boca mv34i modem which my kernel can't sucessfully probe.

Test 5 failing means that the UART failed to clear its interrupt assertion when the IIR in the UART was read. This may be because you have something else on IRQ 5, or it may be due to a poor 16550 emulation. We're working (occasionally) on fixing these sort of problems, but the lack of staying power on the part of people with these problems has made progress slow. Also, most people with any sense wouldn't touch an internal modem with a 40-foot pole, so none of us working on it have one to test with... > When the system boots, i get sio2 not configured messages every 10 minutes.

Various sorts; you could start by looking at the code in /sys/i386/isa/sio.c and adding DELAY(1000); calls between each of these lines in the sioprobe() function, to wit: if (idev->id_irq != 0) failures[3] = isa_irq_pending(idev) ? 0 : 1; DELAY(1000); failures[4] = (inb(iobase + com_iir) & IIR_IMASK) - IIR_TXRDY; DELAY(1000); if (idev->id_irq != 0) failures[5] = isa_irq_pending(idev) ? 1 : 0; DELAY(1000); failures[6] = (inb(iobase + com_iir) & IIR_IMASK) - IIR_NOPEND; Also, if you want to verify that the modem actually works, you can modify the code a little lower : return (result); to return (IO_COMSIZE); _WARNING_ This will force the system to believe that all sio* ports defined in the kernel config exist and work.

Well, let's start with 'can you see the LEDs?', and then 'lets plug it into this other machine over here for a second' (especially when the 'other machine' isn't a PC). On top of that, unless the card has a _real_ '550 on it, your chances of it working well are slim. Then you have the lightning risk to think about; an external modem has an isolated power supply and fusible links (also known as line drivers) between it and the computer; an internal modem has a hotline (so to speak) to all of the expensive components in your system. How's that for a start? I'm sure I've missed a few. > Mark Bynum -- ]] 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?"

Mark, Mike can do a better explaination, but I'll try. The basic objection to internal modems is that the manufacturer can buy cheap chips and implement the UART+modem functions in a non-standard way, emulating 16550 uart performance in a way that dos/windows can use, but real os's can't use/configure/recognize. My problem was that my cheap computer had 16450's in it. These probably won't support V34 transfer rates with an external modem. I guess I should have spent the extra money for the external modem and more for another internal 16550 based comm3/4 card! Thanks again!

"Freeware and shareware vendor Walnut Creek CDROM has added FreeBSD 2.0.5 to its offerings. FreeBSD is a UNIX-like OS for Intel Corp. microprocessor-based PCs. The product is not unlike Linux, the well-known UNIX-like OS for PCs that is freely available from a number of sources; however, FreeBSD is derived from the Berkeley Standard Distribution of UNIX from the University of California at Berkeley. FreeBSD 2.0.5 is freely available from a variety of sources, but Walnut Creek offers it in a two-CD-ROM set with technical support. Pricing at $3995."

Also - you cant see the lights when there is a problem. I bought a cheaper modem from REVEAL that works much better than the sportster. USR makes the top of the line and the bottom of the line in modems. The curiers are tops in my book, the sporters are crap.

I guess I wasn't clear. I have a FreeBSD 2.0R system running. I tried to do a complete reinstall using the new 2.1R I just got on CD. (I'm installing using the "install.bat" file from MS-DOS.) It (2.1R) fails on the CD-ROM driver with the following messages: (ncr0:6:0): "CHINON CD-ROM CDS-535 Q20" type 5 removable SCSI2 cd0(ncr0:6:0): CD-ROM ncr0: SCSI phase error fixup: CCB address mismatch (0xf07cd400 != 0xf07cc948) ncr0:6: ERROR (80:100) (e-aa-0) (0/13) @ (438:1e000000) script cmd = 868b0000 reg: da 10 80 13 47 00 0b 1f 06 0e 01 aa 80 00 0a 00 ncr0: handshake timeout cd0(ncr0:6:0): COMMAND FAILED (6 ff) @f07cd400 can't get the size The install proceeds to "sysinstall" but will not let me use the CD-ROM as media type. It says there is no CD-ROM. >- Do you boot a GENERIC or customized kernel ? This is the install.bat on the CD-ROM, so I guess it would be the GENERIC kernel. Although I did try using the /kernel -c option at boot and disabling all the drivers I don't need, this didn't change the result of the boot. Funny thing, there is no ncr driver listed, I guess that means there are no options for that driver? >- What is the final message printed ? See above I also tried to create a floppy boot disk. This had the same bad result. ---------- I guess the confusing part is that version 2.0 seemed to exhibit the same failure but it was handled by the assertion, now version 2.1 doesn't handle the error. Obviously the ncr driver was changed (I can't say improved), and now it's broke for me. So what is my solution? Can I update everything except the ncr driver, using the Unix file system on the second CD, (The Walnut Creek release contains 2 CD's. One is MS-DOS based and the second is a UFS), and if so how? Any insight you could provide would be highly appreciated. Thanks, and Happy Holidays to you and yours!

To me, the best reason to have an external modem is that if it somehow gets all wonky, you can turn it off and reset it without turning off the computer. I had an internal modem once that would overheat once in a while, locking up solid. Nothing to do but shutdown. That said, I'd still rather have $30 in my pocket than have nifty LEDs to look at or not have to shutdown to clear a modem. With a little research you can find yourself an internal modem that works well for a reasonable price.

It works fine when connecting to my ISP, and has been fine for 6 months. Now I'd like to be able to dial into my system and get a normal login shell, ( which works fine ) and then start pppd if I want to (which doesn't seem to work) The problem arrises from the /etc/ppp/options file being read before the command line options. The options in /etc/ppp/options contain a defaultroute so I don't want all the network traffic coming down my neck! I guess I could get rid of /etc/ppp/options & always specify options on the command line. I don't want to use ijppp, but do I have to?

My name is Timothy and I use FreeBSD (v2.1R). Well eenuff of the intros...

Are there any out there? If so please send me the information...it would be greatly apprecieated! If not, I have a new user type program that was written for BSDI unix. It was a custom written package for M-Net, if any of you are familiar with that. Well the Binary runs (it was in the tar) but on the other hand it does not run correctly. Since i am in no way able to port it or package it for a custom to run on my machine i thought maybe one, two or 18 of you may wish to dive into this endeavor. It is a really nice package when it runs. If you are interested, please let me know and i will help as much as i can. Thanks for the soap box, now i'll let the pro's take over. Have a great actualization.

Date: Fri, 22 Dec 1995 02:34:10 -0800 From: Dennis Gilbert Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi all, Maybe someone can see through this wall I'm running into. I'm trying to get the netboot code to run on SMC/WD Network cards off EPROM, but am having no luck. Here is a brief rundown of the facts: o OS version is FreeBSD 2.1.0R o The nb8390.com boots fine, comes up diskless with no problems from DOS. o The EPROMs are Intel 27C128 (16k). o The same EPROMS work fine in NE2000 based cards (nb8390.rom has both the WD and NE options set). o The NIC cards I've been using are WD8003EP and SMC Elite16. o The NIC cards are configured for 16k ROMS. o The NIC cards are jumpered for ROM address 0xd8000. o DOS debug shows all 0xff at 0xd8000 ( d d800:0000 -> FF FF FF FF ... ). For some reason the NIC does not seem to be address decoding for the ROM memory range. o The netboot Makefile has WD_DEFAULT_MEM set at 0xd0000. o The machine boots directly from disk after the POST with no messages. o The PC is a 486DX66 with 8Mb of RAM, all shadow ROM disabled.

Check you have the correct ISP nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf. Check you have hosts before bind in /etc/host.conf /etc/sysconfig is bit of a minefield. Are you getting any routed error messages?

Go for the Number 1: ASUS started making P6 MBoards - and oh boy do they look impressive. I've ordered one( after jkh@ did it :)) and waiting for it to arrive in few days.

It's what wcarchive is going to be made out of in the near future. The price you have above is wrong - the motherboard *alone* was $2300 and the CPU chip was $2100 - combined total is $4400. It's true that it's about 2-3 times faster than a high end P5, and it's true that it also supports up to 512MB of memory...BUT, all four SIMMs have to be the same size/type, there are only 4 SIMM slots, and the parity/ECC is currently broken (the MB is shipped with it permanently disabled). It also has poor PCI DMA write performance due to the fact that the PCI DMA write buffer is disabled. The PCI buffer is broken in some revs of the Orion chipset so the buffer is permanently disabled in the BIOS. It also insists on testing/probing all of memory even on warm-boots. With 256MB of memory, it takes about 4 minutes to reboot because of this - very annoying if you're doing development with the machine (like I am currently). I wouldn't recommend this motherboard until some of the problems have been dealt with. Everything should be fixed by February or March of next year, however. -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Dec 22 10:41:22 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id KAA12203 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 22 Dec 1995 10:41:22 -0800 (PST) Received: from cyber1.cyberhall.com (cyber1.cyberhall.com [206.41.142.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id KAA12198 for ; Fri, 22 Dec 1995 10:41:19 -0800 (PST) Received: (from dbrockus@localhost) by cyber1.cyberhall.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id MAA00502; Fri, 22 Dec 1995 12:40:56 GMT Date: Fri, 22 Dec 1995 12:40:55 +0000 () From: David Brockus To: FreeBSD questions Subject: Hylafax 3.0.0 Docs Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Is there is documentation other than the man pages for Hylafax 3.0.0.

When I try >hylafax(5f)... man 5f hylafax Also, you might want do a "man man" to understand how man works. The synopsis (as follows): man [-adfhktw] [-m system] [-p string] [-M path] [-P pager] [-S list] [section] name ... says that a section (ie, 1 or 5f) is optional when specifying which man page to view. Taken from the man page, "If section is specified, man only looks in that section of the manual." In general, section 1 is commands, 2 is system calls, 3 is libraries, 4 is special files (devices), 5 is file formats, 6 is games, 7 is misc, and 8 is system adminstration. So, if you did a "man cd" you would get the man page on change directory. If you did "man 4 cd" you would get the man page on the cdrom device. Good luck.

But it was not detected. So I used the "-c" option at the boot prompt, selected the visual process, and got rid of all conflicts that I could see. That left two isa IDE devices, wdc0 and wdc1. After continuing, wdc1 is detected, whereas normally just wdc0 is listed as my hard drive and wdc1 is not detected. So I thought, maybe? But no luck, the installation still did not detect my CDROM. Is the IDE CDROM kkkernl so new that I should consider myself SOL with an IDE CDROM, or being an extreme newbie to FreeBSD, are there other options I can try. PLEASE! :) I want to figure this out. As a side not, in a few weeks I will have access to an ethernet connection to the internet. If I can not get the CDROM to work, how fast can I expect the FTP installation to be? Yes, I know, depends upon bandwidth/usage, but is it really a practical way to install FreeBSD? Thanks for anything and everything!

Summary: Keywords: Hi! I've got a weird problem. We have two Compaq boxes (OK, it wasn't my idea to buy those so please no flames ;). One 486DX4/100 ISA/PCI, another Pentium 90 EISA/PCI. The Pentium one comes with integrated PCI SCSI compatible with itself and a Netflex Ethernet, also compatible with itself. The 4/100 box have an on-board PCI Cyrus Logic video board. All of these may look very exiting, but also I have two AHA-2940 PCI SCSI host adapter and some fast SCSI disks that I want to use for FreeBSD 2.1. The problem is as follows : When inserted in the 4/100 box, the 2940 is claiming that it detects the disks and installs the bios. If the disk have a DOS partition, it will boot with no problems, and show ~2Mb/s transfer rates. The same aplies to the P90 box (if the on-board SCSI is switched off with ECU). But the FreeBSD 2.1'w floppy kernel won't detect the adapter on both machines. I took a look in the kernel code, but lacking PCI programming expirience, it's a hell of a job to understand why it's not working. Could anybody help me out?

I've got the bootp, tftp, and everything set up, to the point where the diskless box boots FreeBSD without a hitch. The system comes up, everything works OK, and I'm able to login to the diskless box and do useful UNIX stuff. The problem comes with the networking. When I'm on the diskless box, I am able to telnet, ftp, irc, basically do anything to access other hosts on the network. BUT, if I do EITHER ONE of the following: (a) from another machine, try telnet in to the diskless FreeBSD box (or ftp, or finger, or anything really) (b) from the diskless box itself, do any of the above; then things act weird. The machine basically crashes. No illuminating kernel panic message (yes I have DDB compiled into the kernel), no syslog messages, nothing. Just a reboot. This is, obviously, somewhat unacceptable behavior. Any clues as to how to proceed in fixing it? FYI, the machine (diskless one) is an AMD 486DX4/100 with 8 MB of RAM. Generic S3 VLB video board, Floppy/IDE controller (with 345MB IDE drive), SoundBlaster Pro, MaxTech NE2000 card, serial/parallel IO card (16550 UART's). Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I am a first time user of this product, but have a fair amount of unix experience. I can't get started with the install, because the probe of my hardware does not work correctly. I have created a boot floppy, and at boot, I use the -c switch to customize. I have a Pentium 120 PCI/ISA Award BIOS v4.50G, 16MB RAM, Adaptec 2940 scsi controler, with 3c509B nic. When I get to the config prompt, and use the ls command, I do not have the pci device ahc0 listed. I believe I have tried all documented possibilities. The bottom line is that the kernel probe does not probe the PCI bus properly to find the Adaptec controller so I have no recognized hard drives. In fact, the only time I see the probe even check for the PCI bus is when I use the -v option at boot. With -v, it checks, but doesn't succeed. Using the customized boot, I have disabled all other possible conflicts, including the 3c509 device, but still no luck. I can't get off first base, any suggestions? Happy Holidays!

My network card keeps getting errors like, ``ed1: timeout''. What's going on? This is usually caused by an interrupt conflict (e.g., two boards using the same IRQ). FreeBSD prior to 2.0.5R used to be tolerant of this, and the network driver would still function in the presence of IRQ conflicts. However, with 2.0.5R and later, IRQ conflicts are no longer tolerated. I had this problem as the 'clever' DOS configuration program decided that IRQ 9 was the only possible interrupt to put the card on. I asked it to try again and it came up with the brilliant solution of using IRQ 3! The solution was to set it up manually using jumpers on either IRQ 10 or IRQ 11 (actually I got rid of DOS as well, but that's another story 8-) James Segmentation fault (core dumped): cannot find file '.signature' From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Dec 23 15:59:32 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id PAA05920 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 23 Dec 1995 15:59:32 -0800 (PST) Received: from parody.tecc.co.uk (parody.tecc.co.uk [193.128.6.83]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id PAA05906 for ; Sat, 23 Dec 1995 15:59:22 -0800 (PST) Received: (from fqueries@localhost) by parody.tecc.co.uk (8.6.12/8.6.12) id UAA01811; Sat, 23 Dec 1995 20:14:36 GMT Date: Sat, 23 Dec 1995 20:14:34 +0000 () From: James Raynard To: Ben Park cc: "'questions@freebsd.org'" Subject: Re: Second SCSI drive installation question.

The parameter of the drive reported by the system is: cylinders= 4243, head = 8, sectors = 255 and the total sectors = 4276943. Here's an extract from a Usenet posting by Bill Paul a few months ago (disclaimer: I haven't tried this myself):- All you have to do is this: - Run sysinstall (as root, monkey boy). - Go to the partition table editor. - Select the drive you want to use. - Partition it as you please. - When you've got it set up the way you like it, press 'w' to get into wizard mode. - At the wizard mode prompt, type 'write.' The sysinstall program should write the new partition table to the disk. - Type 'quit' to leave wizard mode. - Exit the partition editor. - Go to the disklabel editor. - Set up the label as you please. - Type 'w' to get into wizard mode again. - Type 'write' to write the label. - Quit out of wizard mode. - Quit the label editor. - Quit sysinstall. All you have to do now is newfs the partitions you've just created and add them to /etc/fstab. This part is simple enough that you don't need sysinstall to do it. 2.1.0 users should note that the wizard mode has now been incorporated into the user interface (it was an undocumented option in 2.0.5).

I have a 250M C-disk which is my boot-up dos disk and a 1.08G d-disk, that I use desire to use for both unix and dos since it is big enough to hold dos based program, as well as unix stuff. I used presizer, v.1.1.2 to partition the d-disk into a 600 mb Dos partition and a 400 mb non-Dos partition, for UNIX-FreeBSD. I admit I was a little to ambitious and wanted to load the bin, gnu, games, and other source files. Obviously the 400mb would not be enough. But Freebsd doesn't care, like any other Unix o/s, and tried to load it. Of course it wrote over into some parts of the Dos partition (how do I know this...see below!)-no not a internet smile a real exclamation pt and a parenthesis- When the Freebsd installation program realized that it ran out of space, it finally crapped out. So, I chose the quit option...what else could I do? Meanwhile, there is an incomplete installation of UNIX on my d-disk (part of it in an inconsistant state since it probably wrote into the Dos partition). So, the quit option begins the disk resynching process and began to reboot the pc. My pc did not reboot properly! No boot manager, no dos, no Unix...NOTHING!!!!!! Just an error message stating that computer could not load the o/s. It wasn't trying to reboot into dos, it was trying to reboot into unix, but couldn't because the installation was not complete. Anyway, I rebooted with a dos diskette and guess what?!? My d-disk was gone! I checked with fdisk and presizer to see what the hell was going on with my d-disk Well, my 1.08G d-disk turned into a 507 mb d-disk, in which only 478.5 mb could be reconfigured or formatted into a d-disk and 28.5 could be reconfiged to an extended dos partition (weird, huh?). The remaining 580 or so mb is an incomplete installation of unix, in which my computer believes is a bootable partition with a complete version of an o/s. Anyway, I spent six hours trying to recover my @$%@$!!~#%$^&@$%&$ d-disk. I could not regain the lost partition with presizer or fdisk! Re-formatting did squat! Until I took the disk utilities that came with my d-disk, re-initialized the d-disk, powered my pc down and up, reformat the d-disk. Then and only then was I able to recover my d-disk in total!!!! However, since I had to re-initialize and re-format my disk I subsequently blew-away some important programs, such as TRUMPET and EUDORA and other internet goodies that I painstakingly down-loaded. I spent a good portion of the night redown-loading this stuff!! This should not have happened!! Is there a back-out or fail-safe utility that can be used in case something like this happens, in which I can recover my disk with out destroying it. Is there a switch that can be used with presizer to look at the total disk, instead of the dos partition? Is there a switch or utility that can be used with the installation that can warn me when I attempt to choose something that will take up to much space on my disk? HELP!!!! I WOULD REALLLLY LIKE TO RUN THIS THING, BUT I WILL NOT LOAD IT UNTIL I AM CONFIDENT THAT I WILL NOT DAMAGE MY COMPUTER, DISK, OR SANITY!!!! OTHERWISE, I WILL HAVE TO RETURN THIS PIECE OF SOFTWARE AND ASK FOR A FULL REFUND!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!SOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you could tell me whether you know if BSD has support for this or if there are any problems with it, id apreciate it. Thanks Jason Yovanoff p.s. The Reason im asking is cause i had a heck of a time trying to get Linux to support it :) From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Dec 23 19:56:24 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id TAA20064 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 23 Dec 1995 19:56:24 -0800 (PST) Received: from locus.dml.com (locus.dml.com [198.49.1.49]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id TAA20049 for ; Sat, 23 Dec 1995 19:56:20 -0800 (PST) Received: (from rose@localhost) by locus.dml.com (8.6.8/8.6.6) id UAA04984; Sat, 23 Dec 1995 20:56:45 -0800 Date: Sat, 23 Dec 1995 20:56:45 -0800 (PST) From: Steve Rose To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: 2.1 Release seems to corrupt my root partition Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk It looks like I'll have to install 2.1 for a third time. The first time, I picked up the kit from the net, did an ftp install from my server (1.1.5.1) and everything seemed to go quite well. I've had quite a bit of settling to do on this hardware so I didn't exercise 2.1 very much. However, when I rebooted at one point, there was a fleeting message about not being able to get the sync accomplished during the reboot. I think that I saw 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 giving up? I wasn't expecting it so I can't say for sure. After that, fsck needed to go to extremes to recover. This took quite a while and lost some files and directories in the root partition. By this time I had my 2.1 cds so thought I would just reinstall. I wasn't particularly committed to the bits on disk. Everything went well. I was even able to get my Nakamichi cdrom changer to work thanks to a previous message. (Yes, the one that referred to a mysterious crash possibly associated with it.) I left 2.1 up and went to bed. This morning it had rebooted. Now it goes into the system install menu during boot and won't do anything else. Just before doing this, there are some quick messages about not being able to access some files in /sbin. Both of the kernels that I had in root do the same thing, one of them generic. I'm not worried about the reboot. Using the Nakamichi changer seems to be experimental, but I am concerned that I can't seem to keep my disk from being corrupted. Most reboots seem to be able to sync correctly. Now for specifics.

Just pure speculation. Any ideas?

The binaries, yes, but not the source, unless you really need them.

No boot manager, no dos, no Unix...NOTHING!!!!!! Just an error message stating that computer could not load the o/s. It wasn't trying to reboot into dos, it was trying to reboot into unix, but couldn't because the installation was not complete. No, what happens is that the fdisk program resets the 'active partition' bit to the disk containing FreeBSD. If the install program dies, however, it doesn't reset this bit. You really needed to go into MSDOS fdisk, select the "set active partition" option and select your DOS disk. It's too late now, but helpful information for the future. >Anyway, I rebooted with a dos >diskette and guess what?!? My d-disk was gone!

This would indicate one of two things: 1) The partition table got munched and needed to be rewritten. 2) that your 1gb disk had a special boot program on it to allow your system to support the extra big disk. You may have seen some notice on boot, possibly from "MICRO HOUSE INTERNATIONAL" and/or having you "hold ctrl to boot from a floppy...". Unfortunately, by installing the boot manager, you overwrote this program. This is bad, since I have never seen a way of ressurrecting this program. You would have to contact your local retailer or the manufacturer of the disk to get this program reinstalled. > Anyway, I spent six hours trying to recover my @$%@$!!~#%$^&@$%&$ >d-disk.

I don't quite understand your first request, if you want to resurrect your old DOS partition, use DOS FDISK, delete the FreeBSD partition, then use presizer to grow your dos partition again. The install program assumes you know how much space you've got on your disk to use, and won't try to overrun your available space. > > HELP!!!!

If you don't have Norton Utilites or something similar, this would be a good time to buy them. 2) Make sure you completely understand the procedure for installation. The file INSTALLATION or from the sysinstall program would be good places to look. 3) Try to use an install method OTHER than by using a DOS partition. FTP, CD-ROM or floppies are good ways. (I personally have loaded freebsd from floppies and ftp, and both work flawlessly.) 4) Since your system requires the EDIE patch program, don't use the boot manager. You'll be stuck using a boot disk and typing "wd(1,a)/kernel" every time you want to use the freebsd partition, but it should work. It doesn't seem to work with a second disk anyway, from my experiences, but this is varied it appears. 5) If you have any questions, consult the FAQ or us.
