For installation instructions you may want to take a look at: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html However, if you're new to the subject, you should probably read *more* than just the install docs, or be ready for many iterations of trial and error. About the size of the partition you'll need, it depends on what you want to install. If you want X and the sources to everything I'd got for something like 500MB (at least).

I can try to run all the X programs from the directory they are in (/usr/X11R6/bin) and they are not even seen as valid programs (yes the permissions are correct). But if I type in the whole path it will at least try to execute (comes up with not being able to find xinit since I can't specify the path to that). The path is in the xsession file in roots directory. So I thought to try the rehashing. This is where things get strange. The error came back that rehash wasn't a valid command either! What the heck? I looked in the man pages and rehash was included under the csh section. I'm running the bash shell - have I screwed up something bigtime? The same results for the X programs was had under the standard sh as well before I switched over. Any other ideas? Thanks!

Haven't had time to really try to debug this, but looking at the ALPHA release I had the same problem, and haven't had time to confirm with the BETA. May very well be a simple fix, since you can modify the kernel drivers on boot, but everything worked without any flaws until I tried to boot and install with a later version. I have a Digital Ultra II and an IBM Credit Card Ethernet II PCMCIA. Booting from the distribution floppy recognizes the ethernet as ze0 and I can configure the interface, but then when I try to start downloading the distribution via ftp the kernel messages are something on the order of "Interface timeout..." seem to remember that they are PCIC interface messages, but can't be sure from memory. Now the real problem - I'm getting on a plane in 24 hours to go to Japan for 3 weeks so I can't debug this any further. I just wanted to know if this was a simple problem to fix or something that got broke along the way and will make it into the 2.2 RELEASE. js -- Jeffrey D.

(i. e. CDROM on wdc0 and /usr mounted on wdc1). I experienced the same difficulties. It seems that any concurrent uses of both ide controllers leads to a stopp of the system. This happens with GENERIC kernel 2.1.5, 2.2-Alpha and -current (of yesterday). And it happens with two disks or with disk and CDROM. All configurations work just fine, (booting and probing the hardware gets to the expected results), the problem starts when you start copying from CDROM on one ide channel to the disk on the other channel during installation, or when you copy from a disk on one channel to a disk on the other channel. Maybe the cause is the PCI-Dual-Ide-controller chip? On my motherboard the CMD PCI0640B chip is working. If anyone has similar experiences I would like to get a note on the mailing list.

The board passes all diagnostics, including network diagnostics. Here is the ifconfig I used: ifconfig ix0 inet 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 . It may be stupid but it doesn't appear to be worthy of bringing down the system. Possibly related: When I activate ix0 in my kernel, I get a funny message right after the last driver, npx0, runs. It reads: " ixintr without being inited!!". I added the double quotes to show the HR and the space. The EPROM on the board was set using a DOS boot disk, and the Intel softset program. It auto configured to IRQ 5, and I configured the thing with: irq ix0 5 in the kernel config phase. Please give me some tips. By the way: Why do devices for hard drives, and serial ports and such have different device names in the kernel config, than in the dev file, but for network boards the interface is named the same as the kernel device name ie enable ix0 activates interface ix0, but activating sio1 enables tty0, and cuaa1 or whatever. Is there an entry in the device file for the network boards?

Don't yet know whether what I think went on to the tape is what will come off it though ... :-| Two parts to the solution:- a) patch st.c and scsi_tape.h to treat the reported density code (0x45) as a QIC_3095, and behave the same as a QIC_3080 (based on 2.1.5's st.c/scsi_tape.h). b) update the drive's FLASH ROM to firmware v1.06. Fortunately, HP has posted the updated firmware on their web/ftp site and provide a DOS utility to install it (requires ASPI drivers). Item a) on its own made little difference, however item b) really clicked things together! There are two wrinkles left to irritate me. The first is that the drive is being reported as being empty on bootup, when it does contain a tape. It seems to me that this might a timing issue, as the drive is fiddle-farting around while the probe is under way. I guess I should try extending the settling time from 15s to 30-45s and see if it has any effect. The other wrinkle is that the driver is reporting an unrecognised SCSI command. If someone recognises it as a "quirk" from the following transcript (SCSI_DEBUG enabled, date/time removed for brevity), could they please let me know so that I can deal with it (from memory, this was triggered by an "mt status"). TIA and all the best for the new year. ---8<---<8---8<--- bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): scsi_cmd bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): scsi_done bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): command: 0,0,0,0,0,0-[0 bytes] bullseye /kernel: code70 valid0 seg0 key6 ili0 eom0 fmark0 bullseye /kernel: info: 0 0 0 0 followed by 16 extra bytes bullseye /kernel: extra: 0 0 0 0 28 0 0 0 0 0 1 12 0 0 0 0 bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): calling private err_handler() bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): private err_handler() returned -1 bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): calling private start() bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): ststart st0(ncr0:4:0): scsi_cmd bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): scsi_done bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): command: 0,0,0,0,0,0-[0 bytes] bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): calling private start() bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): ststart st0(ncr0:4:0): mounting bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): scsi_cmd bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): scsi_done bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): command: 1b,0,0,0,1,0-[0 bytes] bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): calling private start() bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): ststart st0(ncr0:4:0): scsi_cmd bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): scsi_done bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): command: 0,0,0,0,0,0-[0 bytes] bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): calling private start() bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): ststart st0(ncr0:4:0): scsi_cmd bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): scsi_done bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): command: 5,0,0,0,0,0-[6 bytes] bullseye /kernel: ------------------------------ bullseye /kernel: 000: 00 00 02 00 02 00 bullseye /kernel: ------------------------------ bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): calling private start() bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): ststart st0(ncr0:4:0): scsi_cmd bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): scsi_done bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): command: 1a,0,0,0,c,0-[12 bytes] bullseye /kernel: ------------------------------ bullseye /kernel: 000: 0b b6 10 08 45 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 bullseye /kernel: ------------------------------ bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): calling private start() bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): ststart st0(ncr0:4:0): starting block mode decision bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): scsi_cmd bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): scsi_done bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): command: 15,0,0,0,c,0-[12 bytes] bullseye /kernel: ------------------------------ bullseye /kernel: 000: 00 00 10 08 45 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 bullseye /kernel: ------------------------------ bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): calling private start() bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): ststart st0(ncr0:4:0): scsi_cmd bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): scsi_done bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): command: 1e,0,0,0,1,0-[0 bytes] bullseye /kernel: code70 valid0 seg0 key5 ili0 eom0 fmark0 bullseye /kernel: info: 0 0 0 0 followed by 16 extra bytes bullseye /kernel: extra: 0 0 0 0 20 0 0 0 0 0 1 5 0 0 0 0 bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): calling private err_handler() bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): private err_handler() returned -1 bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:20,0 Invalid command operation code bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): calling private start() bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): ststart st0(ncr0:4:0): Open complete bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): stopen: dev=0xe01 (unit 0) result 0 bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): [ioctl: get status] bullseye /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): stclose: Closing device ---8<---8<---8<--- -- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."

I have a Sound Blaster 32 non-PnP and it works very well for me, in all OSs. If you want good all-around sound support in all operating systems, IMO you can't do better than a Creative Labs Sound Blaster 32 or AWE32. Full SB32/AWE32, Sound Blaster 16, and Sound Blaster compatibility. Virtually any OS driver or DOS program that has any level of sound support at all (above PC speaker, that is :-) supports at least one of these feature sets. The only case I think you might be tempted toward another sound card might be if you want to give up generally good all-around support in favor of full duplex audio under FreeBSD specifically (for MBone, Internet Voice, etc.). As of yet, the FreeBSD soundblaster sound drivers don't support full-duplex PCM. The GUS sound driver does (other cards may as well). URLs you might be interested in surfing: http://www.edu.isy.liu.se/~d93jesno/awe32.html http://www.compart.fi/~mhjelt/awe/ In particular check out the "Information About the AWE32 Soundcard Family" link on the first URL. Personally, I've got a SB32 non-PnP. It's got the somewhat quieter Vibra chipset (still fully SB16 compatible), and I've slapped a couple cheap 1Meg SIMMs on it. 4X the default mem of a std AWE32 for less money, and full AWE32/SB16/SB compatibility BTW, FreeBSD 2.2 and 3.0-current have support for the EMU8K Wavetable chipset on the AWE32/SB32 which gets you great sounding MIDIs/MODs/etc. The Sound Blaster 16 and other drivers support the SB16 side of the card for PCM/etc. Whatever sound card you decide upon, you might want to look at a non-PnP version. I think the GUS is the only card that has Plug-and-Pray support in FreeBSD now. From what I've heard, PnP cards can be a real pain to get working (with PnP support in the OS or not). For further questions, you might follow-up with multimedia@freebsd.org. You'll probably get better response there.

But I still cannot make my Win95 machine connect to the Internet. I mean, the dial-up program just won't recognize Slirp (and it's not Slirp's problem). I tried everything possible. I even added a direct connection null modem device using an .inf file from Well's site (http://www.vt.edu:10021/K/kewells/net/index.html). When I commanded the DUN tools to connect, I saw the login screen, I entered the user name and password and everything (including slirp), but the damn DUN scrren stayed as if the connection was not established.

Is there an entry in the device file for the network boards? The serial ports are a special case. Don't ask me why :) In most other cases they should match up (sound cards are another exception). I assume by 'device file' you mean /dev. NICs aren't devices in the regular context, they're interfaces used exclusively by the networking software. Having a 'direct-access' device in /dev doesn't really work for network cards, so they don't have /dev entries.

The *whole* archive would be HUGE, but you can search it from FreeBSD's web page at http://www.freebsd.org under Search. The ISP-specific info is the 'freebsd-isp' mailing list.

Before you do that, work thru the /var/db/pkg/xfmail-03b/+CONTENTS file and manually remove whatever installed files are listed. Also suggest you read the Makefile for xfmail and go to its home site and pick up a newer version to use. Don't think there is a port available, yet. But the original development of XFmail is under FreeBSD so you'll have little trouble building the current version. Um, you'll need the current xforms library... -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

My concern was that the standard boot floppy used to work without problems and if I were to upgrade (or just grab new kernel sources) and there was something in the newer versions of the kernel that were having problems with the PCMCIA driver I would be in trouble. (We also tried a 3COM PCMCIA with the same problems - no errors/complaints about the ethernet card, but the PCIC was timing out on this also.) Thinking about it more, obviously if Hosokawa was able to build the PAO for 2.2 ALPHA then he wasn't having problems with the PCMCIA controller on his HiNote (but I seem to remember he had the Ultra, not the UltraII). Well, if I don't here of any "real" problems from other people then I'll be adventurous when I get back from Japan and have time to debug the problem and check kernel sources. js -- Jeffrey D.

The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, "The Complete FreeBSD", published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. Since going to press, a number of anomalies have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the first edition, formatted on 19 July 1996 (at the time of writing the only edition that is available). If you have this book, please check this list. I apply these changes to the current source of the book, so if you buy a later edition, they will be in it as well. If you find a bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me (grog@freebsd.org). --- Changes: 5 December 1996 --- Page 192: Middle of the page, the indented small print comment. Replace with: If your system doesn't have the directory /usr/src/sys, then the kernel source has not been installed. To install from the CD-ROM, perform the following steps: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys # ln -s /usr/src/sys /sys # cd / # cat /cdrom/dists/src/sys.* | tar xzvf - The symbolic link /sys for /usr/src/sys is not strictly necessary, but it's a good idea: some software uses it, and otherwise you may end up with two different copies of the sources. --- Changes: 28 November 1996 --- Page 135, second paragraph: replace with In addition, you may need to create the device nodes if they don't already exist. By default, the system contains four virtual terminal devices in the /dev directory. If you use more than this number, you must create them, either with MAKEDEV (see page 162), or with mknod (see page 573). When calculating how many devices you need, note that if you intend to run X11, you need a terminal device without a getty for the X server. For example, if you have enabled /dev/ttyv3, /dev/ttyv4, and /dev/ttyv5, and you also want to run X, you will need a total of 7 virtual terminals (/dev/ttyv0 through /dev/ttyv6). With MAKEDEV, you specify how many virtual terminals you need: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV vty7 make 7 vtys Alternatively, you can do this with mknod: # cd /dev # ls -l ttyv0 crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 0 Nov 28 10:25 ttyv0 # mknod ttyv3 c 12 3 # mknod ttyv4 c 12 4 # mknod ttyv5 c 12 5 # mknod ttyv6 c 12 6 In this example, you list the entry for /dev/ttyv0 in order to check the major device number of the virtual terminals (that's the 12, in this example; it may change from one release to another). You need to specify this number to mknod. For more details about major and minor device numbers, see page 160. --- Changes: 20 November 1996 --- Figure 10-4, page 172: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s3a through /dev/sd1s3h as shown. Figure 10-6, page 176: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are *still* called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s1a through /dev/sd1s1h as shown. (Well, at least the average turned out right :-) The man page section (pages 225 to 766) was sorted by ASCII name of the man page, with the result that the man pages whose names start with upper-case letters come before those whose names start with lower-case letters. Sorry about that. If you're looking for a man page, probably the best place to start is in the Table of Contents on page vi. The man pages are really just excerpts. The total FreeBSD man pages format to some 6,000 pages, far more than I could possibly put in this book. --- Changes: 1 November 1996 --- Major changes: 1. No difference in installation from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. When "The Complete FreeBSD" was written, you still needed a separate installation procedure for installing from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. This is no longer the case. The following modifications to the text come as a result: Page 14, table: Remove references to atapiflp.bat and inst_ide.bat. FreeBSD 2.1.5 no longer has separate boot floppies and installation procedures for ATAPI CD-ROM drives. Page 29: Remove the text "You will also need a different boot disk (/cdrom/floppies/atapi.flp). If you are creating the boot floppy with MS-DOS, you can use the file ATAPIFLP.BAT to create the floppy." The resultant text reads: IDE CD-ROM drives, more properly called ATAPI CD-ROM drives, are a new kind of CD-ROM drive which connect to the same controller as your IDE hard disk. Currently, FreeBSD 2.1.5 support for ATAPI CD-ROM drives is in alpha test. In order to install from an ATAPI CD-ROM, the drive must be jumpered as slave device. The installation may or may not work--please let us know if it doesn't, especially if you can give us some indication about the cause of the trouble. You can also create this boot diskette with the aid of the VIEW program (see Chapter 4, Installing FreeBSD, page 38). Page 35: Remove the points referring to atapi.flp. The text for the third box from the bottom of the page should read: If the direct boot doesn't work, you will need to make a boot floppy, which may be either a 3 1/2" or a 5 1/4" diskette. Create a boot floppy by copying the image /cdrom/boot.flp to diskette. Refer to Chapter 2, Installing FreeBSD, page 39. If you have an IDE (ATAPI) CD-ROM drive, see also the section on this kind of drive in Chapter 2, Installation Concepts, page 29. Page 43, after first example: remove references to ATAPI. The resultant text should read: Don't try this from MS Windows--the installation will fail with the message not enough memory. The boot will progress in the same way as if you had booted from floppy. The advantage of starting VIEW is that you get more documentation: ultimately VIEW will start INSTALL to boot the system. INSTALL doesn't always work. It depends on what drivers or TSRs are in your system. There's no reason to try changing your MS-DOS configuration to get it to work: it's a lot easier just to boot from floppy (see page 38 for further information). 2. Changes to section on installing a second disk. Page 170: The bottom paragraph should read: When the message Three seconds until format begins... appears, you can still change your mind by hitting CTRL-C before the message Formatting... appears. After that, you can't stop the format: most disks can perform a format by themselves, so scsiformat just issues the command to format the disk. Since there is no SCSI bus activity, the disk activity lamp will also not light up, and since the scsiformat program will just be waiting and not using any CPU time, you could easily get the impression the nothing is going on. The disk format can take a long time--depending on the disk, up to 90 minutes. Page 173, after table 10-5: Add the text If you're unlucky, fdisk will give you a completely different idea of the disk geometry from what scsiformat did. Possibly you can decide by examination which program is wrong, or maybe you can look at the dmesg output for a tie-breaker. In all cases I have seen, it has been fdisk that returned the incorrect information, and only when the disk did not have a valid partition table. For example, this happened with a disk formatted for BSD/OS: # scsiformat sd1 MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48 Mode data length: 35 Medium type: 0 Device Specific Parameter: 0 Block descriptor length: 8 Density code: 0 Number of blocks: 2051615 Reserved: 0 Block length: 512 PS: 1 Reserved: 0 Page code: 4 Page length: 22 Number of Cylinders: 1760 Number of Heads: 15 Starting Cylinder-Write Precompensation: 0 Starting Cylinder-Reduced Write Current: 0 Drive Step Rate: 0 Landing Zone Cylinder: 0 Reserved: 0 RPL: 0 Rotational Offset: 0 Reserved: 0 Medium Rotation Rate: 5400 Reserved: 0 Reserved: 0 # fdisk sd1 ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 0 is: sysid 255,(BBT (Bad Blocks Table)) start 1023744, size 2108293151 (1029440 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 768/ sector 15/ head 147; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 255 The data for partition 1 is: sysid 101,(Novell Netware 3.xx) start 1646292846, size 1814062195 (885772 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 356/ sector 50/ head 0; end: cyl 256/ sector 50/ head 114 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 0,(unused) start 0, size 0 (0 Meg), flag 61 beg: cyl 364/ sector 37/ head 98; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 0 The data for partition 3 is: Looking at the output from dmesg, we see: (aha0:1:0): "MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(aha0:1:0): Direct-Access 1001MB (2051615 512 byte sectors) sd1(aha0:1:0): with 1760 cyls, 15 heads, and an average 77 sectors/track In this case, then, you should use the parameters 1760 cylinders, 15 heads, and 77 sectors per track. What's less obvious here is the number of cylinders: fdisk doesn't have an opinion, and scsiformat and dmesg decided it has 2,051,615 sectors. Unfortunately, if you calculate the number according to the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, you'll come up with a different result: in this case 1760 x 15 x 77 = 2,032,800. How come? The disks report the total number of sectors, including spare tracks and such, but you can't use them all. The 2,032,800 is the correct number, and if you try to specify 2,051,615 to disklabel, it will spit out lots of messages about partitions which go beyond the end of the disk. Page 173, middle of page. Change the text after the "no magic" message to: The message no magic doesn't mean that fdisk is out of purple smoke. It refers to the fact that it didn't find the so-called magic number, which identifies the partition table. Since we don't have a partition table yet, this message isn't surprising. It's also completely harmless. Page 173, last example. Remove the first 22 lines, from ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* to, but not including the next occurrence of this line. Page 177, bulleted list: add the bullet * The total number of sectors in the partition. Calculate the number from the the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, even if you are using the whole disk: the output from dmesg or scsiformat is not correct here. Page 178, middle of page: after # disklabel -w -r /dev/sd1c cdc94161 insert When you do this, expect a kernel message (in high-intensity display) saying ``Cannot find disk label''. Since there isn't any label, it can't be found. This is another harmless chicken and egg problem. Page 182: In the section "Creating the file systems", add the first line to the example: # newfs /dev/rsd1h Further down the page, the last example should also read # newfs /dev/rsd1h 3. Other changes Page 41, after the heading "Installing from an MS-DOS partition". Add the text: It's also possible to install from a primary MS-DOS partition on the first disk. At the moment, it's not possible to install from extended partitions. Page 136, bottom: Add the text If you are changing the root password, be careful: it's easy enough to lock yourself out of the system if you mess things up, which could happen if, for example, you mistyped the password twice in the same way (don't laugh, it happens). If you're running X, open another window and use su to become root. If you're running in character mode, select another virtual terminal and log in as root there. Only when you're sure you can still access root should you log out. Page 152, just before the heading "The online manual". Add: Yes, you really need to run latex three times in order to build the cross-references. Page 199, the end of the multipage table is garbled. It should read: ze0 214 IBM/National Semiconductor PCMCIA ethernet controller zp0 214 3Com PCMCIA Etherlink III Page 205: Change the section titled "lpt0" to: lpt0 through lpt2 are the three printer ports you could conceivably have. Most people don't have three printers: you can comment out the definitions of the printers which you don't have. Page 208, bottom of page: swap the italicized headings "Adaptec 274X controller" and "Adaptec 1274X controller" Many thanks to Paul DuBois and Jerry Dunham for finding many of these bugs.

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions IV: How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction =============== This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with break- ing into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions ============================================== When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG. In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean that you have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. In this case, you do need to tell Majordomo the correct name, and that's when the welcome message from Majordomo comes in handy. If you have not kept it, all is not lost. Send a message to majordomo asking for the list of the members of the group. In the text of the message, write: who freebsd-questions The names returned in the list are not all individual mail IDs: you'll see a number of names like: freebsd-questions-list@datatec.com freebsd-questions-redist@news.uni-stuttgart.de incoming-freebsd-questions@cisco.com freebsd-questions@clinet.fi freebsd-questions@mcs.anl.gov If you're on one of these lists, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. IF ALL ELSE FAILS ----------------- If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to Postmaster@FreeBSD.ORG, and he will sort things out for you. DON'T send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: How to submit a question ============================== When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider the following points: 1. Remember that nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message: they look at the subject line and decide whether it interests them. Clearly, it's in your interest to specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Help" aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, many people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!!. We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak English as their first language, and we try to make allowances for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message written full of typos or without any line breaks. A lot of badly formatted messages come from bad mailers. The mailers in the Microsoft world are frequent offenders. If at all possible, use a UNIX mailer. If you must use a mailer under Microsoft environments, make sure it is set up correctly. Try not to use MIME: a lot of people use mailers which don't get on very well with MIME. 4. Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly. This may seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but many of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred messages a day. They frequently sort the incoming messages by subject and by date, and if your message doesn't come before the first answer, they may assume they missed it and not bother to look. 5. Don't include unrelated questions in the same message. Firstly, a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to read the message. 6. Specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: - If you get error messages, don't say "I get error messages", say (for example) "I get the error message 'No route to host'". - If your system panics, don't say "My system panicked", say (for example) "my system panicked with the message 'free vnode isn't'". - If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what hardware you have. In particular, it's important to know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine. 7. If you do all this, and you still don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message again and again will only make you unpopular. To summarize, let's assume you know the answer to the following question. You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1.5 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it. I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16 MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive. The installation works just fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing Operating System". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IV: How to answer a question ============================ Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider: 1. A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to answering questions. Read them. 2. Has somebody already answered the question? The easiest way to check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all together. If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean that you shouldn't send another answer. But it makes sense to read all the other answers first. 3. Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been said? In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much, although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software. If you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further relevant information. 4. Are you sure your answer is correct? If not, wait a day or so. If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI CD-ROM with a frog?". 5. Don't do a group reply; lots of people send messages with hundreds of CCs. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, just reply to the person and copy FreeBSD-questions. 6. Trim the original message to the minimum, and use some technique to identify which text came from the original message, and which text you add. I personally find that prepending "> " to the original message works best. Leaving white space after the ">" and leave empty lines between your text and the original text both make the result more readable. Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a text such as "Re: ". If your mailer doesn't do it automatically, you should do it manually. If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too long, inappropriate subject line), *please* fix it. In the case of an incorrect subject line (such as "HELP!!??"), change the subject line to (say) "Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was: HELP!!??)". That way other people trying to follow the thread will have less difficulty following it. In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you did it, but try not to be rude. If you find you can't answer without being rude, don't answer. If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format, just reply to the submitter, not to the list. You can just send him this message in reply, if you like.

I figured out the real geometry with pfdisk.exe. Didn't realize this was ever a problem with SCSI with translation turn off. SCO managed to work just fine with the bogus geometry.

There is a web page around that provides info on confirming its existance (sorry I don't recall the URL, but try searching on RZ1000 or CMD640). I have this vague recollection that the problem has something to do with a "prefetch buffer" - if your BIOS has a reference to this in its IDE settings, you might try disabling it....

You have to configure your kernel to include SYSV Semaphores, as I said before. cd to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf and grep for SYSV in the LINT config file. Add these lines to your config file, configure and make a new kernel, and reboot. Now, use a program that creates semaphores, then ipcs -s. > What's the latest with FreeBSD equivalent of AIX's SMIT interface? > Give me some specs and I think I can come up with an equivalent. > (roughly 6 to 9 months). FreeBSD has no equivalent of the "stupid piece of SMIT." I am not a fan of SMIT, it has one of the most annoying user interfaces I've ever seen. To learn more about system administration on a BSD system, see the Nemeth, Seebas et. al. book and the FreeBSD man pages on sysctl. A *good*, X-based system administration tool would be nice to have. ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

This is a well known bug (feature?) of the CMD640 chip. FreeBSD cannot (at least AFAIK) use both its channels. However, my previous posting you referred to was about a disk and a CD which are *both* on the primary channel causing the machine to lock up. > > Thank You > Wolfgang Helbig > Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Dec 30 00:12:42 1996 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id AAA06101 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 30 Dec 1996 00:12:42 -0800 (PST) Received: from pioneer.bawel.net (root@pioneer.bawel.net [140.174.160.100]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id AAA06096 for ; Mon, 30 Dec 1996 00:12:39 -0800 (PST) Received: from pioneer.bawel.net (lotus@pioneer.bawel.net [140.174.160.100]) by pioneer.bawel.net (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id AAA06510 for ; Mon, 30 Dec 1996 00:17:09 -0800 (PST) Date: Mon, 30 Dec 1996 00:17:09 -0800 (PST) From: Jeffry Komala To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: help! can't run emacs on new installation Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I installed freeBSD on a new machine (5x86-133, 32MB RAM, 850MB EIDE) ;I already have one running.

Well, I'm kind of in the same boat -- maybe. I am just no trying to bring up my first FreeBSD system. I have a recently purchased SMC9332 10/100 card. Nothing on my box or docu states it is a "B" version. I've tried just about all of the different configurations suggested in the FreeBSD DOCS cd I could find, but to no avail. I figured I was missing some important step in the process. I put the "device de0" line in the kernel (and got a clean compile and install), then did the "ifconfig de0 init ... " command (with and without the -line2). As soon as I did that, the WebRamp light for that line went out and has stayed out. What I was *going* to ask (and still am) is for someone who is using the SMC9332 to please send me the exact steps they used to get it configured and running from scratch. Most of the messages in the DOCS cd answer specific questions, but none I saw had the complete steps. *I* might be missing something. Here's what I've done so far: * configured the WebRamp hub/router (via a win95 box -- also using a SMC9332 card) so it knows all of the ip addresses in question (only three at this time) * commented out all of the ethernet related lines in the GENERIC configuration except de0 * added the above ip address info to the /etc/hosts file * compiled and installed the new kernel (with the requisite reboot to make it active) * executed the command: ifconfig de0 inet 205.182.92.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 (with and without '-link2' added at the end) It is my assumption (I know, dangerous word) that I should now be 'up.' But, as I said earlier, as soon as I started using de0, the link light on the WebRamp for this box goes out. When I was using ed0 (due to misreading one of the first messages I checked) the light stayed on. So... Am I 1) missing something, 2) doing something wrong, or 3) suffering from the same problem as above? I don't mind reading, but if your response is 'rtfm' then please include which 'fm' and which passage(s) of said 'fm.' I've been 'rt'ing' for the past week without finding the answer (or at least I didn't *think* I found it). Thanks muchly...

You will want to read the restore(8) man page if you haven't already. It has special qualifications for the r 'restore filesystem' option. >From the manpage: r Restore (rebuild a file system). The target file system should be made pristine with newfs(8), mounted and the user cd'd into the pristine file system before starting the restoration of the initial level 0 backup. If the level 0 restores successfully, the r key may be used to restore any necessary incremental backups on top of the level 0. The r key precludes an interactive file ex- traction and can be detrimental to one's health if not used care- fully (not to mention the disk). An example: newfs /dev/rrp0g eagle mount /dev/rp0g /mnt cd /mnt restore rf /dev/rst8 Note that restore leaves a file restoresymtable in the root di- rectory to pass information between incremental restore passes. This file should be removed when the last incremental has been restored. I would highly suggest using the -b option to specify the blocksize yourself. Your tape may be very particular about the blocksizes -- I would say try 64 or 128 as a starting size.

No, that probably wasn't right. Did you install the proper X server and made sure it's symlinked to /usr/X11R6/bin/X? Have you tried a newer version of X?

The MSDOS partition method is the best, especially if you're using booteasy, since booteasy will throw a fit if you don't use the geometry its expecting, even though FreeBSD agrees with you.

The problem is that when installing the devices from boot, the system stops right after installing the npx0 driver. it confirms the "npx0: INT 16" message, but completely stops after that. i have tried using the custom configuration at boot to disable hardware not in use by my machine, but that did not help. i would appreciate some insight on the nature of this problem as i am anxious to install FreeBSD on my machine. Thank you for your time and consideration. Trevor Wells twells@ucsd.edu We live as we dream: alone.

Once the system is up and running, mount the CD1 (mount /cdrom) and go to the /cdrom/packages/All use the command pkg_manage in the directory. It is easy to install a lot (400+) packages from the packages list than porting it from the ports. Hope this can help. Sergio Lenzi. Unix consult.

I've been out of the FreeBSD loop for a while and would like to find out how 2.1.6 does on notebook computers. I tried a quick search of the archives and couldn't really come up with anything that spoke about it. Have many people successfully installed FreeBSD on notebook computers? If so, do they have to be pretty standard machines (ThinkPad, WinBook, etc)? I've got a reasonably new "generic" notebook at my disposal to install FreeBSD onto. If I can, I would like to. What kind of support is there for PCMCIA card-based modems, SCSI cards, network cards etc.? The HandBook section is blank on this so I can't tell just from looking. If anyone has experience doing this, specific answers, or could point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

I didn't see the original message on this, but certainly look at the hardware. I went through hell with OS/2, NT, and Win95 on this Pentium box because the external cache was bad for six months and I didn't know it -- I thought the video or ethernet drivers were buggy, until (in a very similar fashion to your symptoms) I proved to myself that the MS VC++ compiler would randomly puke with no real exercise of video or ethernet.

Check out "ServerPath" and "ServerAlias". I'm aware of this, but if my understanding is correct, any browser that doesn't implement this feature will connect to the machine with the correct IP address, but never tell the server which name it used to match that IP address, so would pull up the non-virtual host. You could make the non-virtual host root page a set of links to the subdirectories that each virtual host is in, but that's not what you want to do if you're selling your services, because it looks kludgy. Am I missing something? Seriously, I'm always in the mood to learn (well, there was last week and that cold, but I still wasn't very opposed to learning something new :-) Also, anyone know if non-IP based virtual hosts work with MSIE/NSNAV 2.0? I really don't have anything against it, and have a few servers that only have one IP address that I'd love to be able to do this with, once it works smoothly with a vast majority of browswers actually in use.

Am I missing something? It's not 100% clean, but it works. You do: ServerPath /mydomain All advertised URLs for your page say http://www.mydomain.com/mydomain If you don't want all URLs to say that, you can BrowserMatch for browsers which support Host: and only have the non-supporting ones say /mydomain on them. Then browsers who don't have Host: support will sent the /mydomain. Apache will see that and then use the www.mydomain.com configuration. This doesn't work in all situations, but it is a convenient workaround.

The boxes are hardwired SLIP. I get to the point of the FreeBSD sysinstall menu and it refuses to recognize the SLIP link between the two boxes, so everything dies right there. I keep getting the message box that says "sl0" is not configured. However, it is, and the VTY4 tells me it is if I do an ifconfig sl0. Plus, I can ping the box running sysinstall from the other end, so the link is up and running. But, the FreeBSD install refuses to recognize the link. I've run thru it a bazillion times trying various different things, and it just refuses to work. What am I missing here? The box on which I'd like to install FreeBSD has been running a version of Linux for a long time (MiniLinux), and SLIP connected to the Debian Linux box all the time. Oh, I did have to use the console (VTY4) to get the sl0 config set and running (proven by the ping test). Even though all the info is in the Net Config screen, it does fail to config the link, and to get it right I have to use the VTY. That suggests to me that I'm doing something wrong there but I don't know what. Checking the ifconfig sl0 after using just the menu stuff, it shows the device info but not the IP addresses I entered in the screen boxes. I've also tried doing the slattach from the console, but the sysinstall won't let you skip the slattach screen, as if you just attempt to cancel it, it ends the operation immediately, and goes back to the menus. Any help out there?

I have 2 EIDE hard drives; 1.2 GB (C:) which contains Windows 95 and 2.6 GB (FreeBSD partition, D:, E:). The FreeBSD partition is within the first 1024 cylinders, D: is a primary DOS partition which starts after the FreeBSD partition and E: is an extented DOS partition. To make matters worse, I have a Promise 2300 EIDE controller. I am trying to install using a DOS partition and have a directory on D: called FREEBSD with the distribution directories under it. After making a FreeBSD bootable diskette and booting the FreeBSD installation procedure (using the Novice installation option) I am have problems loading the distribution. I seem to be reading the distribution from the DOS partition OK, but I am getting write errors. Secondly, I have an IDE 8X CDROM (it came with the Creative Labs Sound Blaster 32PNP). The book says that I should make a boot floppy using the atapi.flp loader but I can't find that file on my distribution CDROM. Where can I get this file so that I can install from CDROM directly.

I've got everything compiled (I think) and my kernel rebuilt and installed, but I'm having trouble getting it configured. I'm taking it on faith that something's actually different from before I installed it. Specifically, what I'm after is this. I've an ISP that gives me one fixed IP. My LAN at home has 3 systems on it. I'm using 192.168.100.* on my LAN. As I understand it, with IPfilter and NAT, I should be able to set up one FreeBSD box as a gateway (do I need to set Gateway=YES?) and my other machines should be able to just connect to anywhere on the net transparently. The gateway will automatically act like a proxy for me and it won't be like the fwtk where you have to negotiate the proxy servers. Of course, the affect will be the same as with the fwtk -- meaning the outside world will only see the IP address of the gateway. Is all of that correct? One problem I'm having is 'ipnat' complains "open: no such file or directory" now matter what I do.

The gateway will automatically act like a proxy for me and it won't be like the fwtk where you have to negotiate the proxy servers. Of course, the affect will be the same as with the fwtk -- meaning the outside world will only see the IP address of the gateway. Is all of that correct? One problem I'm having is 'ipnat' complains "open: no such file or directory" now matter what I do.

I needed to run the version 3.1.2beta instead of ip filter 3.1.1. yes, you need to enable the GATEWAY feature. the ipnat error sounds like you did not load the loadable kernel module before running the nat rules. I use kernel ppp with the IP filter/NAT and use a simple script to load the kernel loadble module, and figure out the new IP address and then issue the ipnat instructions. I will put my scripts in ftp://www.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu/nat-scripts/ for you to look at. --mark.

I've got everything compiled (I think) and my kernel rebuilt and installed, but I'm having trouble getting it configured. I'm taking it on faith that something's actually different from before I installed it. Specifically, what I'm after is this. I've an ISP that gives me one fixed IP. My LAN at home has 3 systems on it. I'm using 192.168.100.* on my LAN. As I understand it, with IPfilter and NAT, I should be able to set up one FreeBSD box as a gateway (do I need to set Gateway=YES?) and my other machines should be able to just connect to anywhere on the net transparently. The gateway will automatically act like a proxy for me and it won't be like the fwtk where you have to negotiate the proxy servers. Of course, the affect will be the same as with the fwtk -- meaning the outside world will only see the IP address of the gateway. Is all of that correct? One problem I'm having is 'ipnat' complains "open: no such file or directory" now matter what I do. I'm using ip-filt3.1.1 and FreeBSD 2.1.6. -- -=(*)=- Kristyn Fayette -=(*)=- kristyn@gnu.ai.mit.edu From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Dec 31 10:57:21 1996 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id KAA13951 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 31 Dec 1996 10:57:21 -0800 (PST) Received: from eccs.com (eccs.com [199.29.50.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id KAA13946 for ; Tue, 31 Dec 1996 10:57:17 -0800 (PST) From: gippolit@ccsmtp2.eccs.com Received: from tnup.eccs.com by eccs.com (5.0/SMI-SVR4) id AA15569; Tue, 31 Dec 1996 14:03:24 +0500 Received: from ccsmtp2.eccs.com by tnup.eccs.com (5.x/SMI-SVR4) id AA02989; Tue, 31 Dec 1996 13:55:38 -0500 Received: from ccMail by ccsmtp2.eccs.com (SMTPLINK V2.11.01) id AA851886412; Tue, 31 Dec 96 14:44:58 EST Date: Tue, 31 Dec 96 14:44:58 EST Message-Id: <9611298518.AA851886412@ccsmtp2.eccs.com> To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Looking for libtiff.so.3.3 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have tried to start xpaint and the error messages states that I need the lib file libtiff.so.3.3.

Sometimes, you can work-around any problem by issuing commands on the "emergency shell." It was either 2.1.0 or 2.1.5 where I had to actually build a new install disk to get this to work. This would be detailed in the mail archives. [Look on the FreeBSD home page http://www.freebsd.org] However, I have recently tried 2.1.6 and it works fantastically, as long as you remember to add the destination IP address in the "extra ifconfig arguments" box of the network parameters screen. I'd suggest down-loading 2.1.6 and using that - it works. If that's not workable - I'll see if I can dig up my images; but I believe I just happened to delete them yesterday to make room for the 2.2-BETA... :-( - Dave Rivers - From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Dec 31 11:02:22 1996 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id LAA14247 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 31 Dec 1996 11:02:22 -0800 (PST) Received: from news.toplink.net (news.toplink.net [194.163.120.7]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id LAA14242 for ; Tue, 31 Dec 1996 11:02:19 -0800 (PST) Received: (from daemon@localhost) by news.toplink.net (8.7.5/8.7.3) id UAA21158; Tue, 31 Dec 1996 20:02:29 +0100 (MET) To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Path: mail2news From: jrasins@mindspring.com (John W.

You can install Win95 and FreeBSD on the same machine, yes. You put FreeBSD in a separate partition, on the Win95 disk or another disk. Whether or not you can use Win95 as an OS is not *our* problem. ;^) (Sorry, couldn't resist.) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

"majordomo" just hates to get bounced mail. so much so, that 30 bounces in one day (more or less depending on its mood) from the same address and majordomo refuses to send you any more mail. majordomo unsubscribes you. i have asked Doug Lenat and Thomas Ray to look into the matter (this is one reason for the long delay in upgrading to majorodmo-1.94--we dont want to kill a possible new lifeform. look for a write up in the Santa Fe Institute publications.

What version of FreeBSD are you using? atapi.flp no longer exists in 2.1.5 and later so I assume you're using 2.1.0.

I have 2 EIDE hard drives; 1.2 GB (C:) which contains Windows 95 and 2.6 GB (FreeBSD partition, D:, E:). The FreeBSD partition is within the first 1024 cylinders, D: is a primary DOS partition which starts after the FreeBSD partition and E: is an extented DOS partition. To make matters worse, I have a Promise 2300 EIDE controller. I am trying to install using a DOS partition and have a directory on D: called FREEBSD with the distribution directories under it. After making a FreeBSD bootable diskette and booting the FreeBSD installation procedure (using the Novice installation option) I am have problems loading the distribution. I seem to be reading the distribution from the DOS partition OK, but I am getting write errors "Write failure transferring dists". Secondly, I have an IDE 8X CDROM (it came with the Creative Labs Sound Blaster 32PNP). The book says that I should make a boot floppy using the atapi.flp loader but I can't find that file on my distribution CDROM. Where can I get this file so that I can install from CDROM directly.

Actually, after fooling with it for two or three days off and on, I gave up on it, and put the Linux back on. As it turns out, I think it may be something not quite really compatible on that box. Interesting that it doesn't cripple Linux, but I also discovered that I could not execute an install via FTP either! I gave up trying to get the install going to my Debian box via NFS, and just figured I'd start an install via ftp from freebsd.org and let it run overnite. Bad idea. And it suggests the two problems are related to the same data (the netconfig screen), as the ftp install failed to start saying that my ISP's DNS was not able to resolve the IP of ftp.freebsd.org!! I really think that what was happening with this machine is that the data I entered into the fields on that screen was somehow getting scrambled. Both on the attempted ftp installs, and earlier when I was trying to get it going by NFS. I suspect that it didn't use the proper address to access the DNS, even though that address was correctly entered into the config screen since I'm certain the DNS was OK. That is similar to the failure to assign the proper IP addresses to the SLIP link and start it with the slattach. Since in both cases, the net info entered there was apparently getting zonked by something. The reason the NFS installs failed was that the link was getting started (according to the VTY2 screen) on the first attempt, BUT, there were no IP addresses associated with sl0 when I checked using the emer VT. Any further attempt failed with "operation not permitted" when the slattach screen was encountered on the next try. I could set the addresses properly using the emer screen, and try again, which I did over and over again, trying to do things in different order to see if I could get by the error. However, any attempt after the first, after getting the SLIP link going, fails with the "operation not permitted" message on the VTY2 output. The output on that VTY2 also reports the link being established properly on the first attempt, when it really is not (no IP address--as shown by executing "ifconfig sl0" on the VTY4). Then I'd execute the "ifconfig sl0 sss.sss.sss.sss ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd up netmask mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm" and then I could ping it from the Debian box and it would be functional. But, then trying again would still fail, since sysinstall forces you to execute the "slattach" command again, which results in the "operation not permitted" message! You can't bypass the slattach screen, as that simply aborts the attempt to start the install, and you end up back at the menu. I thought I had it beat by using the VTY4 when I saw I could get the link going and was able to ping it from the other end, but...... Bummer!

(Assuming XFree86), the important X directories are all off /usr/X11R6 instead of /usr/*/X11 as on other platforms. You can create convenience links for them if you want: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 -> /usr/lib/X11 /usr/X11R6/bin -> /usr/bin/X11 In particular, place your system-wide app-default files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults. You can override this with $XFILESEARCHPATH, but the packages assume you'll use this directory. If you've already installed the Ghostview package, it should already have put its app-default file there, and Xcalc's should be there too.

Fix possibilities from my problem report were bleak, i.e. get a new disk, controller, or cable. Anyway, I went through all of the possibly funny stuff I might be doing and remembered a mild warning on the mount_msdos man page about unpredictable stuff for DOS greater than 3.3. I took the entry that mounted the msdos filesystem out of my fstab and what do you know? I have had no problems whatsoever since then. I have been a little shy to retest the hypothesis that mounting msdos is hosing my system. But, if this is the case, I am thinking about the possibility of a more stern warning to the mount_msdos man page reader. Does anyone use DOS 3.3 now? Do people mount >3.3 filesystems successfully? Do people have experience mounting Windows 95 level DOS filesystems? -keith From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Dec 31 18:08:25 1996 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id SAA07605 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 31 Dec 1996 18:08:25 -0800 (PST) Received: from dg-rtp.dg.com (dg-rtp.rtp.dg.com [128.222.1.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id SAA07598 for ; Tue, 31 Dec 1996 18:08:22 -0800 (PST) Received: by dg-rtp.dg.com (5.4R3.10/dg-rtp-v02) id AA20321; Tue, 31 Dec 1996 21:07:51 -0500 Received: from ponds by dg-rtp.dg.com.rtp.dg.com; Tue, 31 Dec 1996 21:07 EST Received: from lakes.water.net (lakes [10.0.0.3]) by ponds.water.net (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id UAA06574; Tue, 31 Dec 1996 20:33:15 -0500 (EST) Received: (from rivers@localhost) by lakes.water.net (8.7.5/8.6.9) id UAA03557; Tue, 31 Dec 1996 20:36:36 -0500 (EST) Date: Tue, 31 Dec 1996 20:36:36 -0500 (EST) From: Thomas David Rivers Message-Id: <199701010136.UAA03557@lakes.water.net> To: ponds!FreeBSD.org!freebsd-questions, ponds!cyberenet.net!wb2oyc Subject: Re: NFS install over SLIP link Content-Type: text Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > On 13:54:55 Thomas David Rivers wrote: > >>> > Dave, > THANKS for the reply.

But; just to encourage you to keep trying - I'm sure we can figure this out.

You cannot install this release of FreeBSD from a DOS partition, I'm afraid. That will be supported in 2.2, but that's at least 60 days in the future and of little help to you now unless you can download 2.2-BETA (but if you could download it, you probably wouldn't have the CD). > Secondly, I have an IDE 8X CDROM (it came with the Creative Labs Sound > Blaster 32PNP).

The upgrade option in sysinstall attempts to do this. It does try to migrate you /etc directory and can replace or edit some files, so just back it up before running the upgrade procedure and restore it when you get dumped to the shell prompt after the upgrade.

I'm trying to install 2.1.5 from the Walnut Creek CD-ROM. Here is a list of problems I'm having: 1. The motherboard is a AMI Merlin DP Pentium PRO 200MHZ. Only on CPU installed. I have installed 128 meg of ram, but freebsd only seems to see the first 64 meg of ram. 2. When adding packages using sysinstall, it (sysinstall) complains that it can not find a lot of the packages (including Xfree86!). I made a boot floppy and boot off of the floppy and installed of the SCSI CD-ROM. 3. After installing several packages, sysinstall start complaining that there was some error and to check to other VTTY. In doing so, I see a lot of "proc: system full" (or somthing similar to that, I'm not near the machine right now). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You'll need options COM_MULTIPORT #code for some cards with shared IRQs and need to set up the sio definitions. Unfortunately I don't have this. They are in the Handbook as Section 10.4.3.2, in "PC Hardware Compatibility".

You should consider installing something more recent, ie 2.1.6. Any case, you may need to move your CDROM to the slave position on the primary controller or single on the secondary controller before FreeBSD will find it.

You need to build a kernel with options "MAXMEM=131072" in it. Read the GENERIC and LINT config files for descriptions of other options as well. They're in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf. > 2.

Provided you don't have any hardware problems, you should be able to select an X installation from your Distributions Choices Screen. X-user, X-developer, or All ( or a custom installation ) should get it. It seemed to me that sysinstall shows packages that aren't on the disk ( I could be wrong tho') > 3.

When I set up my systems I don't create a /var partition. I create /var as /usr/var and symlink it after initial installation. If it's done this way, /var is in / until it's moved. What I'm getting at is / can fill up fast. What I generally do on fresh systems is select a Novice installation, and install the basic distributions. (ie: X-usr, X-Developer, etc) I forego ALL package installation until after I get the basic system running, and then use pkg_add or pkg_manage. For existing installations I NEVER use sysinstall.

Sysinstall doesn't properly reap child processes (tar, gzip, etc), and the process table will eventually overflow if you try to install too many packages. Just reduce the number of packages down a bit and things should work. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
