Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi... I've just moved into a new office, that has an existing network/C-class. I'm trying to get my FreeBSD boxes to use some of the available IPs on this network, on top of my existing C-class, and seem to be failing miserably at getting it to work... The scenario is similar to: <---Internet---[Ascend P50]----[My Network] | | <---Internet---[Cisco 2500]----[Office Network] Okay, so ascii diagrams are *not* my strong point :( Basically, we have it setup so that my network can talk to their network, I can nfs-mount drives from their network to my machines, and, if its faster for them to go out my P50 to get to a site on the net, it routes properly... If I try to 'ifconfig alias' one of their IPs onto one of my machines, it will work...but, if I try: /etc/start_if.ed0: #!/bin/sh # Initial configuration ifconfig ed0 inet 205.150.102.51 netmask 255.255.255.0 # Aliases ifconfig ed0 alias 204.101.125.200 netmask 255.255.255.255 when it boots up, I get the following two error messages just after it is doing the "route add default" on boot up, after which it just hangs there: Sep 29 01:56:52 spirit /kernel: arp info overwritten for 205.150.102.1 by \ 00:00:0c:42:66:50 Sep 29 01:56:52 spirit /kernel: arp info overwritten for 205.150.102.254 by \ 00:00:0c:42:66:50 So I'm figuring that I'm missing something in how I'm trying to configure things, but can't seem to narrow it down :( Essentially, we'd like to dual-IP all the boxes on the network so that getting to them remotely can go through either Internet route, at our discretion... Can anyone point out what I'm missing? As I stated, I can do the ifconfig alias commands from the prompt, and they work fine...but I can't have the system boot up and auto-configure them for some reason... thanks for any help/advice in advance...

Now I do, and can't get it to work:-( I'm following the entry in the FAQ titled "How can I add my new hard disk to my FreeBSD system?", but am not getting very far. I've partitioned and labelled the new drive (a single file system over the whole drive) using /stand/sysinstall. That much seems to be fine... Then the FAQ says "newfs /dev/sd0s1". I get two errors at this point: the first says it's not a character-special device (if I use /dev/rsd0s1 I get around this problem). The next message is a little less helpful: "newfs: /dev/sd0s1: `1' partition is unavailable". Can anybody tell me why it is unavailable, and further, how to make it available? BTW I'm still running 2.1-STABLE -- adding this extra space is a pre-requisite to upgrading.

You need to specify a BSD partition, ie a,d,e etc. I assume you're using the entire disk and don't want to partition it, so newfs the a drive: newfs /dev/rsd0s1a 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 Sep 29 14:19:14 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id OAA26913 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 29 Sep 1996 14:19:14 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id OAA26878 for ; Sun, 29 Sep 1996 14:19:10 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id OAA00924; Sun, 29 Sep 1996 14:19:03 -0700 (PDT) Date: Sun, 29 Sep 1996 14:19:02 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: Michael Grove cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Boot Problems In-Reply-To: <1.5.4.32.19960929194527.00671dd0@mail.usask.ca> 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, 29 Sep 1996, Michael Grove wrote: > At this point I have a Minimal version of FreeBSD installed on a second > harddrive, but I have no way to boot from it.

At the Boot: prompt, type wd(0,a)/kernel assuming you're trying to boot your first disk, or wd(1,a)/kernel if it's your second IDE disk, and so forth. You can reinstall the boot manager by booting with a DOS disk and running the bootinst.exe utility off of the CDROM or ftp.freebsd.org in the tools directory.

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"**). 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. I'm taking the viewpoint of the newcomer here: we have other ways of handling arrogant hackers :-) When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, please remember: 1. 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, so please specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Can't get this to work" aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, most people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Please try to 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. 4. Please 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. 5. Please 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. 6. If you 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. For example, 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 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". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for this 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.

Everything looks sensible except for the last few lines which say something like (excuse any typos - I don't have cut/paste here): 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 2031650 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 27088*) Can I just change "unused" to "freebsd"? What should I do about the 8 partitions? Change it to 1, or leave it as it is?

Currently, my FreeBSD system runs without timezones, since the CMOS clock is local time. This seems to work fine in most respects (internally) until we start interacting with the outside world. For example, the timezone on this email is probably +0000, which is incorrect. And another effect is that a network date/time ntp corrector I went to install today is also the expected 10 hours wrong. Yes, I know how to install the correct timzone (just create the link). But the problem is that since FreeBSD isn't the only OS I run, I don't really want to have to change the CMOS time every time I change operating systems where the CMOS is expected to be local time. Is there a happy medium? Linux, for example, had no problem with this. I'm running FreeBSD-(almost)-current, if that helps.

Some of the packages which have entries for them in the INDEX, however, are missing and this oversight will simply have to wait until the next version to get fixed. Sorry about that.

But it behaves very strange, not sure if it's a bug, or what... I have machine with le0 and le1, running 2.1.5 stable as of last week, le0 connects to an internal network (10.10.10.*), le1 connects to our external network and our router to the world (194.229.192.*) With: ifconfig le0 inet 10.10.10.90 blahblahbla ifconfig le1 inet 194.229.192.90 blablabla route add blabla 127.0.0.1 route add -net 10.10.10 10.10.10.90 route add -net 194.229.192 194.229.192.90 route add default 194.229.192.80 I get the following results: a ping to 10.10.10.255 works and gives all machines a ping to 194.229.192.255 gives all the machines a few times, and then falls back to just 194.229.192.90 (the machine itself). If I change the interfaces (so le0 does the 194thing, and le1 the 10thing), I can ping the external network and the internet but after a few seconds the internal network is no longer reachable. The network cards are working, but I wonder if this might be some bug somewhere.

ALT+F1 -> ttyv0 ALT+F2 -> ttyv1 ALT+F3 -> ttyv2 ALT+F4 -> ttyv3 -- James From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Sep 30 04:03:15 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id EAA27489 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 30 Sep 1996 04:03:15 -0700 (PDT) Received: from time.cdrom.com (time.cdrom.com [204.216.27.226]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id EAA27448 for ; Mon, 30 Sep 1996 04:03:11 -0700 (PDT) Received: from time.cdrom.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by time.cdrom.com (8.7.6/8.6.9) with ESMTP id EAA27781; Mon, 30 Sep 1996 04:03:07 -0700 (PDT) To: Keith Leonard cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Where is XFree and apsfilter?

Check the man pages of syslogd(8) and syslog.conf(5). You can edit /etc/syslog.conf to log only important messages (kernel error, etc.) to root and/or console.

FreeBSD should handle this fine. I'm doing that on this box. You should have had the option to set the timezone in sysinstall post-install; it asks if your cmos clock is local time. This drops the empty file /etc/wall_cmos_clock. This informs adjkerntz to do the necessary corrections for local time clocks. But your timezone has to work first.

You can configure to a find detail where, how and when these messages are issued. The file /etc/syslog.conf is the control file (some of these will have entries that direct to '/dev/console', some of them are directed to 'root'. Most of them will be directed to your log files in /var/log). Don't be TOO heavy handed in removing messages from the console, and I certainly agree that login messages to the console is an overkill. Keep *.alert and *.emerg at least directed to somewhere where it will be seen - they are rare enough, and important enough - that they SHOULD be seen as soon as possible rather than whenever you decide to browse the log. man syslogd man syslog.conf for more information/ David Nugent, Unique Computing Pty Ltd - Melbourne, Australia Voice +61-3-791-9547 Data/BBS +61-3-792-3507 3:632/348@fidonet davidn@blaze.net.au http://www.blaze.net.au/~davidn From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Sep 30 04:27:20 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id DAA20232 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 30 Sep 1996 03:53:21 -0700 (PDT) Received: from who.cdrom.com (who.cdrom.com [204.216.27.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id DAA20182 for ; Mon, 30 Sep 1996 03:53:15 -0700 (PDT) Received: from hod (hod.tera.com [206.215.142.67]) by who.cdrom.com (8.7.5/8.6.11) with ESMTP id UAA18669 for ; Sun, 29 Sep 1996 20:49:39 -0700 (PDT) Received: from athena.tera.com (athena.tera.com [206.215.142.62]) by hod (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id UAA14807 for ; Sun, 29 Sep 1996 20:47:51 -0700 (PDT) From: Gary Kline Received: (from kline@localhost) by athena.tera.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) id UAA26337 for freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org; Sun, 29 Sep 1996 20:47:50 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199609300347.UAA26337@athena.tera.com> Subject: Re: Request for information (fwd) To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG (FreeBSD Questions Mailgroup) Date: Sun, 29 Sep 1996 20:47:50 -0700 (PDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL23 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk DeeAnne is trying to redeem herself, as you can see in the followinng mail to me.

Actually, I think Yoyodyne intends to send your site promoter information via snail mail (spam isn't really our style). We would like to contact him/her about a new web promotion that can guarantee your site a considerable boost in traffic.

However, I have over 1GB in my OS/2 HPFS partitions that I would like to access. After searching the archives, I see that there is periodically some banter about this, but the issue has not been raised recently. Is there anyway to do this, including using some Linux program (though I'd prefer real FreeBSD)? I would prefer to use FreeBSD than Linux, but this issue is important enough that I might have to switch. There have been a substantial number of OS/2 users I've known who either have switched to Linux or run both; I think it would be valuable to the FreeBSD effort if it were also an option for these people. I will gladly summarize to the list any private email that is valuable. Thank you.

The /etc/daily is run with its output redirected into sendmail (so you the message you get is simply the output of the script). I'd bet that if you'll check your /var/log/maillog files you'll see that the message in question (i.e. CAA02204) is simply the /etc/daily message itself. It simply starts to get sent while it is still created. The warning is from the invocation of mailq as one of the last commands in /etc/daily, and note the asterisk near the ID of the message indicating that it is locked (since it is currently being sent).

This can be accomplished by physically moving the then to the next line (which is what I prefer) or by inserting the ';' separator... As in: if [ $1 = yes ] then echo Yes fi or if [ $1 = yes ] ; then echo Yes fi Now, your next question should be "That seems pretty dumb - why is it so?" The problem is that (logically, if not actually) the 'if' statement actually runs a program, in this instance, a program named '[' which is a link to a program named 'test'. This program is presumed to accept arguments, which are in your case "$1 = yes ]". (Note that ']' is not the close of '[', it is an (ignored) argument to the 'test' program.) So, the shell needs to determine when the arguments are over, and where the 'then' is. You do that by inserting a command separator (the ';') or by putting the 'then' on the next line.

Since it's PCI it should be recognized right off during the boot probe. Then you want to configure the de0 device as normal.

Also, the -W flag (which I use all the time) conflicts with the -M option. I use split, make floppy sized chunks, then tar each chunk to a floppy with the -W option...then I cat them together after I untarred them.

What should I do about the 8 > partitions? Change it to 1, or leave it as it is? If and only if all of the following are true: * You're an intermediate- to expert-level user. (DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING THE FOLLOWING IF YOU'RE A NOVICE USER!) * You have a SCSI disk (you did mention "sd0" -- IDE drives may work in the following, but I don't know). * You want to dedicate the *ENTIRE* disk to FreeBSD. * You have no data on the disk that you want to keep. * You don't mind losing ALL DATA that is currently on the disk. * You don't mind destroying any and all MSDOS or Windows 3.1/95/NT information that is on the disk. * You don't plan on using or sharing the disk with other operating systems (e.g., MSDOS or Windows). * You want to partition the *ENTIRE* FreeBSD slice into a single FreeBSD filesystem. Then, the easiest way to add a dedicated disk is the following: * First, determine the base disk name of the disk you want to add. Your earlier posting said "sd0", a SCSI disk -- is this correct? This implies that you're probably booting off an IDE disk, and not a SCSI disk, as "sd0" is typically the boot drive (when booting from a SCSI disk). * Assuming that "sd0" really is correct (MAKE SURE OF THIS, AS YOU'LL LOSE ALL DATA ON YOUR BOOT DISK, IF YOU'RE WRONG), do the following (assuming Bourne shell /bin/sh syntax): # This won't work if you're using /bin/csh: d=sd0 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/r$d count=2 disklabel /dev/r$d | disklabel -B -R -r $d /dev/stdin # We only want one partition, so using slice 'c' should be fine: newfs /dev/r${d}c (Thanks to Bruce Evans for the procedure.) You can then mount the drive via a command like: mount /dev/${d}c /mnt Expert users can partition the FreeBSD slice into multiple filesystems using a slightly different procedure: # This won't work if you're using /bin/csh: d=sd0 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/r$d count=2 TMP=/tmp/label$$ disklabel /dev/r$d > $TMP # Edit disklabel to add partitions: vi $TMP disklabel -B -R -r $d $TMP # newfs partitions appropriately [ In case anyone's interested, I'm working on a perl script from h*ll that attempts to simplify adding an hard disk (this perl script generates a shell script that does the proper fdisk/disklabel/newfs crud). I hope to release an alpha version this week to solicit comments. ] -- Darryl Okahata Internet: darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.

The /etc/daily is run with its output redirected into sendmail (so you the message you get is simply the output of the script). I'd bet that if you'll check your /var/log/maillog files you'll see that the message in question (i.e. CAA02204) is simply the /etc/daily message itself. It simply starts to get sent while it is still created. The warning is from the invocation of mailq as one of the last commands in /etc/daily, and note the asterisk near the ID of the message indicating that it is locked (since it is currently being sent).

I have used various SCSI interfaces, including an AHA-1542CP, and the on-board AIC-7880 of an older P5 board I used. But when I recently upgraded to the AHA-2940UW, I began seeing total system lockups every few days. The lockups do not seem to correspond to heavy disk activity, although there does need to be SOME sort of disk activity for it to occur. Once it was when I ran telnet. The disk goes to access, then all the system's SCSI indicators go solid, and the machine won't respond to anything except a physical power cycle. I have managed to always be at the console when it happened, so I have been able to reboot the machine (it doesn't reboot itself), but I am concerned that it may do this overnight or something. Hardware is as follows: Generic Natoma P6 board with one P6/200 96MB 60ns parity RAM: 2 32's, 2 16's.

I got my Portmaster, and configured everything properly. However, I noticed that another local ISP running SunOS, has something calld in.pmd - portmaster daemon. I can't seem to figure out how to use it with FreeBSD, or the importance of it for that matter! It says I can only use it with SunOS or Linux. Now, it hasn't been a problem, but am I supposed to be adding all of my users into the Portmaster user table? I figured the portmaster would read my /etc/passwd database, but I guess not! This is getting to be a pain adding new users to my passwd table, then to the portmaster user table! Isn't there a limit on the amount of users I can have in the table? What if I get another Portmaster, will I have to add all of the users from the first one, into that one too?

If you want to check it out just set your quake multiplayer to "g26.mtmc.edu"(note: it might not always be running due to the machine switching between Win and FreeBSD). One other note is that the reason for the lag is that it only has a 56k link to the net.

As a pure quake server, however, it seems pretty stable. quake.lithium.com is a FreeBSD 2.2 box running the Linux quake server, and I've never heard of it crashing. When I play it with the DOS client, things are fine. The linux quake client is pretty lame anyway - it won't play reasonably on anything but an 8 bit display.

Just make sure you have some version of 2.2 and the linux_lib port installed. Download the 1.01 executable from ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/unsup, and drop in the pak files from the DOS quake.

My system configuration and installation steps are included at the end of this mail. Thanks in advance for any help you can lend. Jon 1.) Executing 'startx' causes the system to panic. The monitor goes blank for approximately 15 seconds and then the system reboots. Upon startup, fsck is required to repair disk inconsistencies caused by the panic. 2.) I can not run a custom kernel specific to my system. I created a config file following the directions given in the "Installing and running FreeBSD" book that came with the CDROM from Walnut Creek. The 'config' command executes without errors and the kernel compiles without errors. When I boot the kernel however, the system hangs after reading in the text and data information. 3.) After failing at #2 above a number of times trying different config file entries, I took a different approach and copied the GENERIC config file to MYKERNEL and added only the XSERVER option and the psm0 option.

During bootup of the generic kernel I noticed that the system is apparently not able to find the psm0 device and gives the "not found" message for psm0 at this point in the boot sequence.

Probable cause was that base of frame buffer memory was not mapped correctly (adapter hardware/firmware bug ? MB BIOS bug ? human error on my part ? ;-). I have found the following (admittedly dirty) workaround in the XF86Config file: Section "Device" Identifier "Diamond Stealth 64 Video VRAM" VendorName "Diamond" BoardName "Stealth 64 Video VRAM" MemBase 0x8000000 Option "sw_cursor" Option "Diamond" # Use Option "nolinear" if the server doesn't start up correctly # (this avoids the linear framebuffer probe). If that fails try # option "nomemaccess". # Refer to /usr/X11R6/lib/doc/README.S3, and the XF86_S3 man page.
