Can anybody help me or do you need more info? I've never done this and see multi-booting as a PITA, but then I can afford to throw a system together. Something is not right. Hard drives can have 4 primary partitions and the DOS extended is considered a primary partition, which can have any number of logical drives.

Logical? Logical drives are used in the DOS-extended partition and I can't recall hearing to them referred as that anywhere else. Are you using the DOS extended partition? >I also read (and hope I understood it correctly) that FBSD will try to >take the first area on my HD. Would that then move Dos/Windoze? What I am The MBR? No nothing will move, but the boot loader (I assume you use the OS2 one) would be wiped if you didn't check "none" for boot manager on the FBSD install. Never did OS2. >trying to do is put FBSD in the same area that the E partition was so that >OS/2 will still boot. Apparently this can't be done?? Maybe I read so >much I got totally confused. If so, my apologies to all for this posting. What seems to be confusing here is your reference to drives. Are there indeed, 3 physical drives ie C: D: E: or are you refering to partitions/slices.

The way the man page reads it does the / and then spawns and does the rest of the partitions that will be mounted in parallel.

I have (with lot's of help from the nice people on this list). determined that the reason I cannot make this work is that I don not have DES encryption on my FreeBSD boxes. I thought I did, but checking the handbook has shown me the error of my ways. So here is my dilemma, how do I convert an existing system to DES? I have downloaded the sources in 2.2-RELEASE/des and I see an install.sh there. Do I run this? Do I have o then do a make world? If so could someone give me some advice on this? I have never run this before. Is there some simpler way to do this? What about existing passwords? When how should I change them? I can see getting into a situation where I have converted the binaries on the system and locked myself out, since passwd always wants to verify the old password. Should I *shudder* delete all old passwords first? I have checked the FAQ and the Handbook without success for docs on this.

As a rule I avoid slow and large drives and generally only have 2 or 3 partitions, but you are correct about the latency involved. Considering that usually you have / and then swap and the /usr on the drive. Guess we are looking for "intelligent parallel fsck" then. In your case this would be greatly desired. Have you tried tinkering with the "maxparallel" flag or looked at the source? FBSD does fsck considerably faster than BSDi and that makes me wonder if it is as thorough.

Instead, it is on the soundblaster 16 IDE port on my CL soundblaster card. windows 95 detects it ok with the drivers i got with my soundcard. however, freebsd wont detect it. ive tried adding a device wcd0 and enabling the secondary ide (eventhough it not on it). is there any way i can get it detected while it is on my Soundblaster 16's IDE port? if not, do you know why my bios wont detect anything on my secondary IDE. i put the cdrom as a slave on my primary and one of the hard drives as a master on the secondary but it wasnt detected. it seems anything on the secondary IDE controller is ignored, so its hardly surprising that FreeBSD can get anything on it either. Therefore, the only way i can see my CDROM to be detected is to have it on the soundblaster. any help or advice would be much appreciated. thanks, David. -- ____ ___ ___ / __\____ / /______ _______ ____ / / ------------------------------- / / /__ \/ ___/ \/ / / \/ \/ ~\ David Mateer, Technical Support / / / / /__/ / / / / / / / / / TEL: 01232 666850 / FAX: 664665 / / / / / / / ___/ / / / ___/ / / E-MAIL: dmateer@gateweb.co.uk \____/\____/\____/\____/\_______/\____/\____/ ------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 30 08:31:59 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id IAA00478 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 08:31:59 -0800 (PST) Received: from gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (gatekeeper.barcode.co.il [192.116.93.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id IAA00473 for ; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 08:31:53 -0800 (PST) Received: (from nadav@localhost) by gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (8.7.5/8.6.12) id TAA23160; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 19:29:54 +0300 (IDT) Date: Sun, 30 Mar 1997 19:29:54 +0300 (IDT) From: Nadav Eiron To: jadeite cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: your mail In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Sun, 30 Mar 1997, jadeite wrote: > what is the rule of thumb for configuring the sizes of the SWAP, /, and > /var filesystems? > what types of programs use the SWAP a lot? > > For / and /var, the rule of thumb depends on what you do. For /, you can probably get along with a couple of tens on MB. I usually put 20-40MB for /. For /var, it depends. What goes in there is normally the mail spool, logs from all your daemons and, if you have a news server, the news spool. News can take multiple GBs for /var. For the rest, it depends mainly on how much mail/logs you expect to have. If you have a web/ftp sites with hundreds of thousands of hits aday and you log it all, it can also sum up to handreds of MBs for a couple of weeks. Other then that there's very little that goes in there, so a small personal workstation can get along with ~16MB.

As far as I can see I'm doing as the accept() and select() man pages say, and the same as the ftp client does. I'm writing an Internet server, with a blocking socket. In two places though, I need to do a non-blocking read from it as it is reading from other clients at the same time. In the first, it is checking for a new client, so I am selecting on read (to check whether I can call accept() without blocking.) The other is similar, but the sockets are already open - it's just a normal select on read. Without the select, it works OK, but blocks until a client connects - as expected. With it, the select never returns 1 so it never gets to being able to accept the client. These are the relevant bits of code: struct fd_set sel; struct fd_set ready; struct timeval timezero; timezero.tv_sec = 0; timezero.tv_usec = 0; serverFd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, DEFAULT_PROTOCOL); FD_ZERO(&sel); FD_SET(serverFd, &sel); bind (serverFd, serverSockAddrPtr, serverLen); listen (serverFd, 2); while (1) { if (select(1, &sel, (struct fd_set *) 0, (struct fd_set *) 0, &timezero) == 1) { fprintf(stderr,"select OK\n"); newFd = accept (serverFd, clientSockAddrPtr, &clientLen); fprintf(stderr,"accept OK\n"); for(y=0;y } } Thanks, Michael. -- Michael Searle - searle@longacre.demon.co.uk From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 30 09:57:45 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id JAA03761 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 09:57:45 -0800 (PST) Received: from who.cdrom.com (who.cdrom.com [204.216.27.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id JAA03756 for ; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 09:57:43 -0800 (PST) Received: from Pkrw.tcn.net (Pkrw.tcn.net [199.166.4.58]) by who.cdrom.com (8.8.5/8.6.11) with ESMTP id JAA11222 for ; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 09:57:40 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (krw@localhost) by Pkrw.tcn.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id MAA05466 for ; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 12:55:30 -0500 (EST) X-Authentication-Warning: Pkrw.tcn.net: krw owned process doing -bs Date: Sun, 30 Mar 1997 12:55:06 -0500 (EST) From: "Kenneth R.

I heard from some other FreeBSD users that my computer may be incompatible, which I have found out was untrue and FreeBSD should work on my without problems. Before and ever since that I have heard that, FreeBSD v2.1.7 has not installed on the system. It does load to a point and receive various errors: * missing files or permission denied while loading from the cd-rom's * missing kernel routines or distributions from the cd (filename.tgz files) * debugging mode not permitted to run on this version. * can not create user profile (when the install.txt file tells you need to create a profile for yourself) * system lock ups when loading FreeBSD v2.1.7 which errors stating that kernel has errors or damaged operating system. and so on witht the errors. I have spent the last 1-2 weeks trying to load this operating system which seems not want to load on my system. I remember reading on the web page that there is a 30-day money back guarantee, hassle free.

I then used the 420 as slave and am using it for FreeBSD and Linux! I got FreeBSD going and d/led what I thot I would 'need', but ran out of room at 200megs :( I at least got everything going, but guess I will start all over and either squeeze more room from the Linux area or get a smaller portion of FreeBSD. Thanks everybody for your help. What I see so far looks fantastic! BTW, don't know about anybody else, but when setting up the IP's, I left the Gateway and the IP address (lower box--"for this session") blank. That was the only way I could get connected from my local server. Dynamic PPP did the rest I assume.

My resources are very limited as far as hardware, but this old piece of junk has a good internet connection through university. I do not intend to use this system to compile anything, and I can even edit offline. There will never be more than one user logged on at once. I'm think I'm pretty clear on how to build a bare bones From: "Lenzi, Sergio" FreeBSD on a floppy??? Once I did it Supose you have a floppy with a ufs filesystem on it.. disklabel -r -w /dev/rfd0 fd1440 newfs -t2 -u 18 /dev/rfd0 tunefs -m 0 /dev/rfd0 mount /dev/fd0 /mnt mkdir /mnt/sbin /mnt/dev /mnt/etc 1) install the sources (the /usr/src directory) 2) use the crunchgen command (man crunchgen) to build an executable with everything you need inside like: ifconfig, route, netstat, pppd, sh, cp, cat, find, cpio... Name it binaries and install it on a /bin in the floppy using gzip gzip < binaries > /mnt/bin/binaries. 3) make the /dev directory on the floppy (cd floppy, sh /dev/MAKEDEV all). 4) build a small kernel with gzip binaries, pppd slip. and install it on the floppy. 5) create links for the binaries (ln -s binary cp; ln -s binary sh....) 6) copy the /sbin/init to the /mnt/sbin 7) create a etc/rc in the floppy... This is the startup file the system will use. Once booted, the system will execute the /etc/rc file... There you can setup anything you want using the commands in the /bin Hope this will help....

Maybe I read so > much I got totally confused. If so, my apologies to all for this posting. I don't know what you mean by the'first area'. FreeBSD could care less where it is on the disk, but your BIOS will. Some BIOSs can't boot any OSs that are beyond 1024 cylinders. > IF above is true about not installing FreeBSD, does anybody know if Linux > (sorry) would work? You'll probably run into the same problems no matter what OS you want to put on. For your situation, I think a new disk would suit you very nicely. I had a very similar setup to yours and found it a real trick to wedge a decent-sized FreeBSD slice between my DOS and OS/2 slices and still have enough room left for both on a 1gb disk. I bought a cheap 500mb disk at a local swap meet and dedicated it. That worked really well, until I filled it. :) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 30 11:58:57 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id LAA09204 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 11:58:57 -0800 (PST) Received: from SNYBUFAA.CS.SNYBUF.EDU (SYSTEM@snybufaa.buffalostate.edu [136.183.34.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id LAA09199 for ; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 11:58:54 -0800 (PST) Received: from BUFFALOSTATE.EDU by BUFFALOSTATE.EDU (PMDF V5.1-5 #18385) id <01IH4904AL769FN5ME@BUFFALOSTATE.EDU> for questions@freebsd.org; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 15:04:02 EST Date: Sun, 30 Mar 1997 15:04:02 -0500 (EST) From: Dave Hummel Subject: oops/sorry & ftp/webserver 386 To: questions@freebsd.org Message-id: <01IH4904AM5G9FN5ME@BUFFALOSTATE.EDU> X-VMS-To: in%"questions@freebsd.org" MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk My apologies, One wrong keystroke and *poof* my last email was sent before I could stop it.

Well, hm... stand is a bit of an exception. It's a big crunched file. Since you have the source, you could go into /usr/src/release/sysinstall, build sysinstall yourself, and run that.

So where then is the mess? For some reason the X included with 2.2.1 (which I think is symlinked from ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/XFree86) has the utmp patches, which plays hell with non-current systems. Someone needs to rebuild X again on a 2.2 system and not on a -CURRENT system.

The D is new and the interface changed slightly, so much that the zp driver won't work with it. Install the PAO distribution from http://www.jp.freebsd.org/PAO. It supports the D, or so I am told.

The disklabel editor in Sysinstall has an 'a'uto option that will give you some conservative numbers that may work for small/medium workstations. Power users like me need more :) /: Your root FS. Contains the kernel and basic system binaries and /tmp. I run mine at 50mb, which seems to work fine for everyday work. /var: Contains logs, mail spool, printer spool, etc. Should be big enough to hold this w/o filling. I run mine at 50mb. SWAP: Depends on usage. Equal size with memory is a good start, or if you don't have much RAM, then scale to 2x or 3x. If you plan on running XWindows then double that. With 32mb of RAM, I have a 100mb swap partition and use a small chunk of it. On the old disk, I had 16mb of RAM and 32mb of swap running X. I could fill it if I started up some really big mbone tools. I was swapping if I started an xterm, and that slowed things down quite a bit. The current config fits everything in RAM with a little spillover, depending on what I"m doing at the moment. > what types of programs use the SWAP a lot? Xwindows and associated programs will gobble up ram pretty quickly and force you to swap. Netscape and Xemacs are really bad.

I think these lines from /etc/hosts are relevant too, since I guess that the hostname assignment in sysconfig reads something from hosts. As you can see, I'm set up for dynamic IP address assignment. When I installed 2.1.1 via ftp, I think it set my hostname in sysconfig as 207.0.141.1, which is one of the DNS's of my ISP. In any case, the first boot gave me messages about being unable to find host--seemed to be expecting a network connection. Maybe what really messed things up was changing my hostname to alwan (email address=alwan@rma.edu). > > > > 127.0.0.1 localhost > > 10.0.0.1 alwan alwan OK, I guess. > > ######################### Start Of Netconfig Section ####################### > > > > # Set to the name of your host - this is pretty important! > > hostname=alwan This should probably be a full name (ie alwan.isp.com) even if it doesn't really exist.

This is breaking everything. Fix to this: network_interfaces="lo0" ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" Reboot and it should work better. Hope this helps.

Considering that I have the 2..1.6 bin & sbin files still installed here, to complete the security upgrade, would you recommend I recompile all of the /bin, /usr/bin, /sbin & /usr/sbin files? The 2.1.7 source code for these did get installed. A 'make world' I suppose?

You might ask them, they may have an idea. Also try disabling tcp extensions in /etc/sysconfig. There may be an Ascend in the way.

Looks like your disk is corrupted. get & make the fixit image, boot the install floppy, select 'fixit', and cross over to the fixit floppy. mount / and /var, then look at /var/log/messages and see if you can find any specific errors. What kind of disks are in this machine? Do you do 'shutdown' before shutting off the machine?

I was not aiming at anyone, just a general message, and this time I was somewhat answered/discovered. I work for a local software company and know how hard it is to write various programs, much less than an Operating System. It may be a great operating system, although not working for me on the system that I use. I write small applications for Windows 95/NT, and it takes great deal of time and effort to get it working properly. I do assist the users who use any of my programs (although these are specifically written for their needs). The only thing that I am attempting to do, is learn, use and gain knowledge of the operating system. If I *CAN* install this Operating System (OS), I will use it since I am wanting to move to a higher level of an OS. Its not a very popular OS as Windows 95/NT and finding someone with average to good knowledge is rare (at least for me right now). If I can get some help to install the OS, I will install it and use it, although currently it seems my battle is coming to an end, along with my frustrations. >Why don't you just call the people you ordered the cd from and get an >RMA?

I just got those binaries from ftp.xfree86.org and reinstalled X on my 2.2.1 system and rebooted. No change... I still couldn't run xdm because ld couldn't find libXmu.so.6.0 even though it was where it should have been, with world read permissions etc.. On an impulse I decided to copy the library to /usr/lib. xdm no longer barfed on libXmu.so.6.0, but on another, so I copied the other libs from /usr/X11R6/lib to /usr/lib. Now everything works!!! I guess my question is why this would work if ldconfig -r reports that /usr/X11R6/lib is one of the search directories in the first place? cheers, Carey Nairn From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 30 15:32:05 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id PAA20726 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 15:32:05 -0800 (PST) Received: from stepahead.net (stepahead.net [205.161.119.233]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id PAA20710 for ; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 15:31:54 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (irq@localhost) by stepahead.net (8.8.5/8.8.4) with SMTP id SAA13135; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 18:32:06 -0500 Date: Sun, 30 Mar 1997 18:32:04 -0500 (EST) From: interrupt request To: Mark Knipfer cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: FreeBSD v2.1.7 In-Reply-To: <333ef57d.11015556@mail.choice.net> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Do it anyway =================================================== interrupt request The Collective www.collective.org "We make the things that make communications free" On Sun, 30 Mar 1997, Mark Knipfer wrote: > On Sun, 30 Mar 1997 18:24:07 -0500 (EST), you wrote: > > It detected all of the devices, otherwise I would have uninstalled the system > boards (scsi).

If you can give me network access to this box and about 600 spare MB (oh, and a CVS repository somewhere, either local or NFS :) I'll be happy to kick off a 2.1.x update. Maybe Justin wants to bring his SCSI changes into the 2.1 branch if he hasn't already?
