When I try to run the fixit disk from the install menu, it asks to put the disk in the drive and then tells me that it is "Unable to mount fixit floppy - want to try again" or something like that.

The only responses I got were people asking me to pass along the information if I figured it out. I've seen people asking questions here about Promise 2300+ controllers and ATAPI CD-ROM drives. To those in the know, what were the settings you set your card at, and what options did you have to compile your kernel with to get the sytem to boot correctly? I don't have an ATAPI CD-ROM drive, just the said controller. I have standard IDE drives formatted using CHS so I've turned off LBA mode on the card (is LBA mode even supported considering the comments from the LINT config file?). With those setting, my DOS partition boots fine, but the FreeBSD partition stops after about 2 rotations of the spinner.

The PCNFS "net use" for printers established a redirection for the local printer to the remote host using lpr protocol. That is, if you are using TCP/IP print services, they are BSD lpr protocol based. Most likely the error message is correct: "invalid remote device". You must establish a printer in the /etc/printcap for the name of the device that you will attempt to access. My first guess with this little information would be case sensitivity; that is, I expect that the DOS "net" command is upcasing the name before sending it out on the wire. You should examine the /etc/printcap file on your HP machine, and correct you BSD machine's /etc/printcap as necessary.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi everybody, I'm trying to install hylafax in my Free 2.1.0-R box for some time without success. In fact I've tried also mgetty+sendfax unsuccessfully. I tried it with two modens: USR sportster 14400 and Turbo Modem ( a Exar based modem). Hylafax doesn't seem to like the sportster at all (It doesn't recognize it with faxaddmodem). I've tried the 3 usr-* configuration provided without success. It is impossible to use mgetty because the sportster is class 1. The turbomodem works nicely with hylafax (exar configuration) up to the speed of 9600. If the transmitter is at 14400, it doesn't work. I believe this has got to do with the DTE-DCE speed at 19200 but , if I change this to 38400, nothing works. Worse than that, sendfax (hylafax) doesn't work until I change the configuration to hardware flow control. Here however, it stops receiving fax correctly. Therefore I don't have a config for both receiving and sending faxes. mgetty+sendfax seems to work nicely with the exar modem but it receives a file which I can't parse. The g3topbm utility complains a lot about invalid codes even wiht the "reversebits" option. My questions are: 1) Is there a place (newsgroup, mailing list) where I could ask for help? 2) Is there anybody using any of these software successfully with 2.1.0-R? If yes, what is the modem? 3) Which modem(inexpensive, please) do you advice?

I am using USR's 28k8 Sporsters with the 33k6 upgrade. I am dialing in from a test win95 box with a USR Sportster 14k4. This is FBSD2.1.0R controlling a BOCABOARD 16port job on IRQ10, base address 100. I can dial in and get a login prompt just fine almost 100% of the time. It's when I switch from the normal terminal mode to PPP mode that my problems start. On the first or second call in, things work fine, I can ping my dialin box just fine. After that if I try to dial in I get to the PPP part, things look like they are working fine but I can't even ping the dialin box, http doesn't work to anywhere, etc. Relevant lines in /etc/ttys: ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" dialup on insecure ttyd2 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" dialup on insecure [...] ttydg "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" dialup on insecure Relevant lines in /etc/gettytab: std.38400|38400-baud:\ :np:sp#38400: Relevant lines in /etc/rc.serial: modem() { # Modem that supports CTS and perhaps RTS handshaking. for i in $* do comcontrol /dev/ttyd$i dtrwait 500 drainwait 180 stty ; eol2 = ; erase = ^?; intr = ^C; kill = ^U; lnext = ^V; min = 1; quit = ^\; reprint = ^R; start = ^Q; status = ; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; time = 0; werase = ^W; The main thing that caught my eye right away was the 'hupcl'.

And if that IS the case how come I can still dial in and get a login prompt in terminal mode, even though afterwards switching to PPP has stopped working? In any case I am getting extremely frustrated with the entire effort here. I know other people have gotten FreeBSD and BOCABOARDs working before, as I set mine up with the help of the Handbook. If anyone can make any suggestions as to why this might be occuring I would appreciate it greatly.

As I understand it, the current version won't install in 4 Megs, but I think if you built a non-generic kernel tuned to your system, it should work ok. Marc and I have considered doing an updated version of Freertr; in particular we'd like to put gated and expect on it, but since that would require at minimum two floppies, and with hard disk prices the way they are, there doesn't seem to be much point --- people can just get a $200 hard disk and put a regular installation on it. The current version of Freertr has about 30K left on the disk; with the compressed binaries and shared libraries features, we might be able to squeeze out some more space, but one idea I had was to have basically the same stuff on disk 1, and have it check to see if there is a disk 2 present, and if so, make available the added features. The question is, though, is it worth the effort? Are there enough people who want to do this that can't or don't want to get a cheap hard disk? -- Alan Batie ______ batie@agora.rdrop.com \ / Freedom for me to be and do +1 503 452-0960 \ / only what *you* approve of 45 28 59 N / 122 43 20 W / 440' MSL \/ is no freedom at all.

As foreign, it's not very clear to me if, for example, the bin.aa file should be copied to a directorie called \bin\bin.aa or to \bin. In this file you also mention that 5 files should be copied to each 1.44Mb disk, but as a matter of fact, each disk can hold 6 files (with 5 the space free is 254000 bytes - the files have 240000 bytes). Should I copy 5 or 6 ? This must have to do with some users that have 1.2Mb disks. The OS FreeBSD is only the bin files ? If not, where are the other components (besides software) ? My internet connection is dial-up. If I install only the bin files does FreeBSD have support for this ? (so I can download his software) If not can I download software for it with DOS and then install it in FreeBSD ? I have a CD-ROM (Pioneer DRUA-124X). Will FreeBSD work with it ? The CD-ROM is connected to a SoundBlaster AWE32. The card as two connectors. One, as described in the manual, is a IDE controller. The other is for Creative's CD-ROM. When I boot with the disk created by the image file ATAPI.FLP, I run configure (-c option), to check out the hardware configurations. There were 24 conflicts. In the 'visual' option I saw that all the CD-ROM configurations appeared with 'conflict' warning. All but one. The one of 'mcd10', port 340, IRQ 11. But my IDE interface on the AWE32 is configured to IRQ 15 (it won't work with other configuration). Should I configure FreeBSD to look out for the CD on that IRQ ? If so, in wich CD option should I set that (mcd0, mcd1, matcd0, scd0) ? Isn't the hard disk configured to IRQ 15 ? I'm telling you this, because I bought OS/2 and I can't get it to work with my CD and I can't get in touch with Pioneer, so they can give me the driver. You say that FreeBSD is SoundBlaster compatible. The setup table doesn't show any options to configure that card. Is it compatible ? Thank you very much for your time. Joao Pedras Ps : I'm a computer science student. I'd like in the future to be of some help for this project.

Also, the Adaptec is on port 334 instead of 330 so it won't conflict w/ my SB-AWE32/Roland daughtercard combination. My goal is to have DOS & Win95 on the two Western Digitals and FreeBSD on one of the SCSI's. (The other 2, ID's 1 and 2, already have Linux and SunOS 5.4 for X86 installed on them w/ no problems.). I was able to boot up FreeBSD using the FBSDBOOT.EXE on the FreeBSD 2.0.5 Walnut Creek CD and install the software (it did complain bitterly about the disk geometry on the SCSI drive, but I persisted and installed anyway) with no problems. However, now I can't boot up the system using either the OSBS boot manager software from the CD or the boot floppy - it just locks up after stating "Waiting for SCSI devices to settle.". What is the proper way to install FreeBSD and then boot the OS? Thanks for your help. -Ryan R.

You post your question here, with as much extra info as you can collect to make the situation more clear, and one of a groups of volunteers reads your post and tells you the answer. Sometimes you get 6 replies, sometimes (if your problem is really hard, and everyone is scratching their head over it) you don't get any. Overall, the support level you get this way is better and faster than that available commercially from any real world vendor with paid staff, in fact 'way better, and it won't cost you a dime. ============================================================================ Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu -- I run FreeBSD on n3lxx and Journey2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dilbert Zone is Dilbert's new WWW home!

My advice: Don't use g77 for mission critical projects. Use f77/f2c. It's in the tree. It's far more mature than g77.

There isn't any way to be more selective. There's a handbook section on ctm, and it isn't hard to use, you can even get mail to automate it for you. The only hard part is the first big gulp of sources, a whale of a big file, nearly 30 megs, and Poul kinda resists the idea of breaking it up any. If you can't take that in one bite, last time I needed to do that, I asked here and had about 5 volunteers with ftp space to do it for me. Luckily, that only needs to be done to bootstrap yourself to current. Sometimes your first make world under current will blow up, because there are some tools that have to be made first, and installed, for this to work. As a suggestion, I would manually make /usr/src/usr.bin/install first, then do that same thing for the rpc and rpcsvc dirs of include, then the rpcgen, then try the make world. Don't send complaints here, Marty, they go to the FreeBSD-current list. You should join that list, and the commit list too. Stuff like the info on how to handle the rpc stuff was posted there, and reading it will save you embarrassment on later complaints. You can't expect a kernel to work, if it's too far out of date with the general system, because a lot of things in user-land, like ps, have to track the kernel structures in order to work. I think you really want to either do a make world, or forget just running a current kernel. > > > > marty leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com > Member of the League for Programming Freedom (http://www.lpf.org) > Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic > Arthur C.

Any help appreciated. OK. First off, "LBA mode" is irrelevant. All LBA refers to is linear sector addressing. LBA mode on the controller means that the controller supplies the extended interface. No DOS software uses this extended interface. Instead, there must be an INT 13 redirector, either in the BIOS or in OnTrack DiskManger or similar software that cause: 1) Geometry translation. 2) Translated C/H/S values at the INT 13 interface to be computed into LBA values based on the translation and the LBA interface used to actually do the disk access. This means that, like SCSI, there is no way to exceed the bit limitation on the disk size after translation (8G @ 512b sectors) in the DOS INT 21/INT 13 framework. Now the BSD second stage boot (loaded by the MBR or MBR replacement, like OS-BS) uses the DOS INT 13 interface (and thus can use LBA) to load the kernel. The problem occurs when the kernel itself comes up and the geometry is different than INT 13->LBA translator says the geometry is. You can fix this by hacking the sector offsets in the disklabel to agree with the values you get using the translated geometry. You have to do this right after install before the reboot on the Alt-F2 screen (the setup program *might* let you do this inside of it; I don't know).

Their excuse is, that they work around this in their BIOS and the Compaq supplied OS drivers. I've already put a lot of effort into working around these bugs! (It is easier for Compaq: Their BIOS has to support their system ONLY. I have to find a solution that works well with Compaq and other hardware, and that is much more of a problem ...) Do you have some other FreeBSD system to build a kernel on ? There ought to be some messages corresponding to PCI bus chips, at least if booting with "-v". Please send all numbers from those lines. I'll tell you what you can do. The Compaq SCSI controller is most probably some variant of the NCR5380 (not of the NCR53c810 !). I'm not sure, whether the FreeBSD "nca" driver will support that chip.

I've got a program written that accesses a PostGres95 database to retreive and modify information. Now, the database is setup in such a way that the userid that owns the database is the only one that has permission to make modifications to it, since I don't want modifications to the database to made without using my program. The program I've installed is installed owned by the owner of the database, and setuid'd...but when I try to run it, I'm getting a failure to connect to the database server. I've already sent a similar query to the postgres95 mailing list, but after some thought, I'm resend it slightly differently... If a program is setuid, it should pass the "userid" of the owner of the program to the database server, correct? Just to make sure that that concept is correct... If that is correct, and nobody knows of any reason why this won't work in FreeBSD...does PostGres95 somehow ignore the setuid bit, by using 'getlogin()' when it passes the userid to the server? Mainly...how does PostGres95 determine who is trying to access the server, how is there something I can do to override this in such a way that its still only my interface, that is setuid, that can access the server?

When making the floppies, you want to make SETS of floppies from the directories, also called distributions. For example, with the bin distribution, you want to copy as many of the bin.* files to floppies as possible, keeping track that those disks contain the bin dist. When install time comes, you will load in each disk one at a time until you've copied the entire set in. Then the installer will expand the files as necessary.

The card as two connectors. (Great card, btw) Do you know the interface type? You hint below it's ATAPI. In that case, it may be necessary to move the cdrom onto your primary disk controller and make it the slave and your hard disk the master.

For starters, FreeBSD is portioned into distributions, each of which is compressed, so the base install takes up 14 floppies but expands to roughly 40MB, or something like that :) Next, yes, you can install FreeBSD with other operating systems, as long as you have a slice entry available. You can put it on it's on disk or share with another, if you have the space.

Kelley" Subject: Another Failed to boot problem Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I've managed to install FreeBSD 2.1R from my ATAPI CDROM drive onto my second hard drive solely dedicated to FreeBSD. My primary drive is a DOS drive. During the (novice) install, I specified that the FreeBSD boot manager is to be installed. However, when I reboot my PC, I get the prompt from the boot manager to press F1 for DOS, or F5 for Disk 2. F1 boots DOS with no problems. However, F5 just causes the boot manager prompt to be redisplayed. In other words, I can't boot the installed FreeBSD. Here are my questions: 1) Is it possible to boot FreeBSD from a floppy and have the boot process automatically (or manually, even) recognize my FreeBSD installation? 2) How do I remove the boot manager from my DOS disk? 3) Alternatively, how do I make the FreeBSD boot manager work?

I want to build a local network system within an office with Pentium PC (FreeBSD 2.1.0), SparcStation (Solaris 2.5) and an ethernet Hub. But I have serious problems to make it work. Pentium PC has an ethernet card and moden. The FreeBSD has been working for months. Because I have no direct internet access, I changed a line in /etc/sysconfig from network_interfaces="ed0 lo0" to network_interfaces="lo0" Last week, I purchased a Smart EtherHub with 16 port, and a Sun SparcStation with Solaris 2.5. When I turned power on at very begining, it asked me hostname, IP number, and whether it is networked. I gave a hostname, pick up a random IP number. Thus, SparcStation itself is up. I connected Sparc to the hub (port 1) using patch cord, and connected PC to the hub (port 2) using patch cord. Sparc has its hostname 'ultralean' and PC has its hostname 'supanee'. My question is how can I access one machine from another? Say, I want to telnet to supanee from ultralean, how? The following commend telnet ultralean does not work.

Well, if you have a 2400 BPS modem, and you're absolutely sure you have no compression going on, then you wouldn't really need flow control, and any overflow must be happening at the far end of the link. That's where I would now suspect problems. I bet their flow control isn't really working. Three minutes with a technician and a RS-232 breakout box would prove it. Breakout boxes are running less than 100 dollars right now. You would insert the breakout box between the far end computer and the far end modem, dial in, then begin a really long listing. You should see the CTS light blinking slowly on and off, maybe at a 1 second on, 4 seconds off rate. If you didn't see that, and the data from the computer pause in synchronization with it, then the interface at the far end computer is broken. If you saw the CTS light blink, but the far end computer didn't stop, this would mean that the modem was yelling "stop" but the computer wasn't listening to it. If you never even saw the CTS light blink, the modem is being incorrectly optioned not to use hardware flow control. There might be a software way of finding the problem (any others out there want to help? but this is how I'd do it. ============================================================================ Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu -- I run FreeBSD on n3lxx and Journey2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dilbert Zone is Dilbert's new WWW home!

Since starting xdm is rather like a tty service, start it from /etc/ttys: ttyv3 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure This will have the nice side effect of running your X server on ttyv3, and leaving the logins on ttyv0, ttyv1, and ttyv2 still running. When X starts up, it will switch the console to ttyv3. You can get back to the text consoles by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 for ttyv0, Ctrl-Alt-F2 for ttyv1, and Ctrl-Alt-F3 for ttyv2. Use Alt-F1 through Alt-F4 to move between the consoles and the X session.

"ed0" is your network card; "lo0" is the software loopback device used to talk to "localhost". You will need "ed0" in there to talk to the SPARCstation over the ethernet. > Last week, I purchased a Smart EtherHub with 16 port, and > a Sun SparcStation with Solaris 2.5.

Bad choice. DON'T PICK RANDOM IP ADDRESSES! In RFC 1597, the IETF has set aside several addresses to use for "non-attached networks" and you should use one (or more) of those. In general, for small networks, pick host addresses within the Class C network address 192.168.0.0.

First, you need to make the network card on your FreeBSD machine work, as noted above. Then you need to make sure the IP addresses for both machines are in the same network. My recommendation is to make the SPARCstation, ultralean, 192.168.0.1 and the FreeBSD machine, supanee, 192.168.0.2. Your hosts file on each machine should contain the following lines: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.0.1 ultralean 192.168.0.2 supanee On the FreeBSD system, edit /etc/host.conf to contain a single line containing the word "hosts". On the Solaris system, you will need to edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and setup the machine to get hostnames *only* from the hosts file. Reboot both and see if it works. > Your hints and help will be greatly appreciated. My other suggestion is to run, not walk, but RUN to your local bookstore and get a copy of "TCP/IP Network Administration" by Craig Hunt (1992: O'Reilly and Associates, ISBN 0-937175-82-X). This will explain how the magic of TCP/IP works, and does a good job of explaining *most* UNIX implementations also. With that and the man pages and the FreeBSD FAQs, you should be able to get your system up and running. It'll even help you set up a nameserver, if you do get connected to the internet. Good Luck!

I have set it up according to the handbook (with the exception of the kermit scripts to enable auto-a.

Next time I dial in, the line again presents me with the login prompt as per getty.

You will not be able to communicate without it. What kind of ethernet card is in there now? You will also need to modify your ``ifconfig_ed0'' line below the network_interfaces line to get your IP number in there, so the computer knows who it is. > Sparc has its hostname 'ultralean' and PC has its hostname 'supanee'. > My question is how can I access one machine from another? > Say, I want to telnet to supanee from ultralean, how? > The following commend > telnet ultralean > does not work. > > Your hints and help will be greatly appreciated. Don't forget to add both hostnames to /etc/hosts so name lookups work ok. This is really quick and dirty, if you want any details just ask.

All the virtual terminals I've seen don't clear the screen after logoff, and this is on four separate FreeBSD machines.

Some questions : - When you hit F5 the first time and get the bootmanager menu again, do you have the default value listed as 'F?' (ie. with the ? mark?) - Is there a partition marked as 'active' on the second disk? If there isn't (ie. you forgot to mark it active in the installer) then you won't be able to boot it easily.

Hello all! We've been debating here as to how we want to do IP addressing in the future. Right now, we have two student dorms online, with the rest coming online in fall. That will total out to be ~2000 or so people (+/- 1000 :) ). Right now we just staticly address each person an IP address when we install the software on the system. However, the rest of the University is on bootp right now which seems to be working ok. What I'd like to know is the pros-and-cons between the various ip assignment systems. I don't want to know which one is _better_ or any other possible points of contention. We need to know who is online and how to reach them. This way if we discover that someone is abusing the network we can get a hold of them. Please take this and similar security measures into account. We have a FreeBSD box available for whatever, if you want to know. These are the things I see so far (+ = good, - = bad): Static IP + Instantly on-line [this is important since we currently install the network software off the net, that might change] + Always works, even if server goes down - They can change their IP address easily ``static'' bootp (we get enet addr, we add to bootptab): + Track by enet address, which our hubs also run by (we can query the hubs as to who is connected to what port) + They change enet address, they don't work - Server goes down, everyone else can't connect ``dynamic'' bootp (they plug in, they get an address): + Instantly on-line - They change enet address, they still work (some network cards let you change the ethernet address) I'm asking since I'm not so familiar with bootp or bootpd under FreeBSD. Anything you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

I use tcsh, and it sources ~/.logout upon logging out, I usually put in a line with the clear command.
