His name is Andrew Moore. Can someone tell me what his relationship is/was with the development of FreeBSD? I don't need a lot of details, or any personal information about him whatsoever, just need to know whether he is/was involved with the development of FreeBSD, and in what capacity. I was told he was involved, however, I don't see his name in the list of people who contributed to the product's development. Any information you can give me is greatly appreciated.

First things first. Please try to use correct grammar, capitalization, and punctuation. You may have noticed that other members of this list take a little effort to make their messages easily understandable. For every bit more difficult you make your message to read, it becomes less likely you will receive a response. Now on to the question. There is way more to this question than just the '.xinitrc' file. Most of the configuration that can be done to make your desktop look _COOL_ is done in your window manager's rc file. There may be several files that you need to edit in order to achieve a desired appearance on your desktop. For example, much of my old configuration was established in my '.fvwm2rc' file because I used to use fvwm2. Many people make their rc files available on their web pages. You might try searching for examples of desktops frmo your favorite window manager. Have fun, | Stop warning me about the latest virus. Learn more...

I had this on a Siemens machine (Phoenix BIOS). When installing 2.2.5 in the "not dangerously dedicated mode (or how is it called)" the problem went away.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello. I've tried to download the installation files for floppies and I can't seem to get a straight-forward text on which files I need to download. Your layout text seems to insist that I get the CD. I don't think my CD-RW (Memorex CRW-1622) will work, anyway. Plus I don't wanna pay for the CD because I might not want to use it and that'd just be a waste of money. So far, I've gotten the idea that I should download the whole 'bin' directory so I did that. Is there a good text on the directory structure of the online disk (i'm downloading from ftp.cdrom.com). I would like to get X-Windows, but I don't even know where to start. I'm seeing about migrating from Windows NT, and I've never used any type of Unix before. Well, thank you for your time.

I configured my system to use the pnp0 psuedo-device, and upon bootup tried to set the IRQ and port for the modem (which shows up as CSN = 1 and LSN = 0). I enabled the modem (pnp 1 0 enable), and set it to get its configuration from the OS (pnp 1 0 os). Then when I try to use interactive user ppp, using "term", I get no response back from it, and I can't even kill the process. [Since this is an old EISA machine, do I have to set the resources used by the modem in the EISA config, even if the modem is a plug-n-play modem? ] Questions: 1. Am I missing something in setting up the modem? 2. Am I using the pnp stuff correctly? 3. How can I test that the modem is actually configured right? Here's the relevant info: (sio ports info, pnpinfo, dmesg, and how I configured the modem at kernel bootup using pnp). sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa sio0: type 16550A sio1 not found at 0x2f8 When I type in "pnpinfo", I get: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Checking for Plug-n-Play devices...

I am able to create the floppy from the CD image and boot from it. I configured for my system, eliminating all the conflicts, and do a novice installation following the guidelines in 'The Complete FreeBSD'. When I remove the floppy to boot from the hard drive, it loads the kernel, probes for the devices and then issues these two lines: changing root device to wd1a panic: cannot mount root And then it reboots. My system is: SuperMicro P5MMS98 motherboard AMD K6 233 mhz cpu with 64 mb ram 2 ide drives each as single drive on separate controller Panasonic CD-ROM (SCSI) attached via NCR PCI SCSI board I have Windows 95 installed on the 1st drive (as per DOS restriction) and OS/2 installed on the second drive (shared with the FreeBSD installation). I am using System Commander to boot the system. I had expected some problems with System Commander from discussions in the manual as well as discussion on the newsgroups, but it correctly reports that it has detected the FreeBSD install after the system reboots and has added it to the selection menu. The 2nd drive geometry is: 8896/15/63/512 (physical) 522/255/63/512 (logical) and the layout (as reported from System Commander's information screen) is: 0/1/1 - 76/254/63 OS/2 primary partition (bootable) 77/0/1 - 215/254/63 FreeBSD 216/1/1 - 521/254/63 HPFS extended partition (OS/2 file space) I have gone through the installation procedure 3 times, but the result is the same, so it is something that is not a 'fluke'. Can you point me in a direction to try and diagnose the problem?

I am assuming that XFree86 is trying to set horizontal and > vertical rates beyond my monitor's specifications. Correct. Of course, it bases this assumption on what you told it. According to the information in the XF86Config file, you're running an Elsa Winner 1000PRO with S3 SDAC, and your monitor can handle up to 80 kHz horizontal frequency. Is this correct? Your monitor is saying "no". > 2. Is there anyway to specify the resolution in the XF86Config file? I > don't want any modes other than 1024 x 768 with 64K colors. Can you > please add that to my XF86Config if you can? That's a question of removal, not addition. You currently have: Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024" Change that to: Modes "1024x768" This will also solve your virtual screen problem. The server uses two parameters to determine the size of the screen: the Virtual keyword and the largest of the Modes (in this case, 1280x1024). That's why commenting out the Virtual keywords didn't work. Unfortunately, there's a very good chance that this won't work for you, because your configuration file doens't describe your monitor correctly. You *must* find out the horizontal frequency range of your monitor. If you can find the vertical frequency range as well, that would be good, but in practice it's not nearly as important. And do your really have an Elsa Winner 1000? It looks as if you are in the USA, and I didn't know that Elsa sold their boards there. I'd suggest that you re-run xf86config and specify the correct information, as well as the screen resolutions you want, and it should work fine.

I get the same Exec Format error:wrong architechure when I run the Linux port of netscape. I loaded the lkm by running bin/linux and got the same error. I downloaded the linux_lib files from ftp.freebsd.org and pkg_delete'd linux_lib then make and make reinstall with the downloaded files. Same error as above. Changed back to the original kernel, set linux="YES" and rebooted. Same error when trying to run Netscape 4.04. Am I missing some details on how to use the emulator (I'm just typing in the linux binary name (ie netscape &)? Is there something else needed or is this netscape package just not compatable with this release of the emulator? I notice a /dev/lkm file but when I MAKEDEV lkm or MAKEDEV.local lkm, I get an error indicating neither file recognizes device lkm. Is the following correct? (crw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 32, 0 Jun 17 1997 /dev/lkm) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I've been doing it for almost a year, starting with when i used my 28.8k connection. Since I started this on a 486/33 8MB system, i decreased the Squid cache sizes to 2MB in RAM and 10MB on HD, and decreased the number of folders and subfolders it used to sort its cache (this 486 had 300MB of slow, old, IDE hard drive). Just run Squid on the FreeBSD machine and tell the others that you want to use it for the WWW, gopher, and FTP proxy. This only works from within your web browser. If you want full internet connectivity from the other machines, use natd. --Ludwig Pummer ludwigp@bigfoot.com ICQ UIN: 692441 http://chipweb.home.ml.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 29 20:42:25 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id UAA02489 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 29 Mar 1998 20:42:25 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from iconmail.bellatlantic.net (iconmail.bellatlantic.net [199.173.162.30]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id UAA02341 for ; Sun, 29 Mar 1998 20:42:03 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from thenet1@bellatlantic.net) From: thenet1@bellatlantic.net Received: from advancec (client-119-13.bellatlantic.net [151.198.119.13]) by iconmail.bellatlantic.net (IConNet Sendmail) with SMTP id XAA19642; Sun, 29 Mar 1998 23:03:11 -0500 (EST) Date: Sun, 29 Mar 1998 23:03:11 -0500 (EST) Subject: A Cutting Edge Advertising Break Through For You And Your Clients!

I installed Debian 1.3.1 (mu choice of Linux dists when I'm not allowed to use FreeBSD) on a system at work recently and noticed that the default lpt0 configuration was polled. Previous installs with much older kernels had given interrupt driven lpt?s. Just makes me wonder whether the incidence of funny parallel port IRQ handling (port assignments with lpt? in DOS land have always been odd) is on the increase, possibly in conjunction with a move to PnP IRQ assignment by motherboard manufacturers (I've heard rumblings about this with serial ports). -- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."

Welcome to dialup connections :) This is serial connections for you. WIthout more details it's impossible to tell whether the remote or local side are dropping packets, or (more likely) line noise is causing a retransmit in the modem. Considering the packet is eventually getting through, the modem is probably recovering from a dropped packet or interrupted line. 30s delays sounds like call waiting.

Odd that sio1 would be conflicting with the video; it's usually COM4. Could be a bug in the video's BIOS too. > Is there a way to correct this without disabling > features? Am I correct in assuming that this is an irq conflict? It's an improper configuration. Your modem probably isn't being PnP config'd either, if it requires it.

Okay, then, is there anything underneath /usr/X11R6? If not, you may have to install XFree manually, which isn't hard if you already have the distribution archives.

This isn't possible, I don't think. In order to use MD5 everything has to be in MD5 format, but the old passwords are in DES. The replacement libcrypt replaces the MD5 crypt() routine with the DES one. You can't decrypt DES very easily, so I think you're stuck with DES unless you can hack the des libs and I'm not sure that's easily done. You'd have to take a look at them.

In fact, FreeBSD has had polled lpt drivers for a long time. When I first moved to FreeBSD (from BSD/OS, about 3 years ago), I found that I had to run my printer in polled mode, though it worked fine in interrupt mode (the only possibility) under BSD/OS. I haven't got rid of the impression that this was a kludge rather than a hardware problem, but it's been a long while since I've seen a necessity for it.

Live with it; they're harmless. FreeBSD doesn't expect the drives to go out to lunch. The IDE controller doesn't signal the host when they're spinning up, assuming a Windoze universe where the system will just block waiting for the disks to come ready. > Another question, How do i properly clear the logs, i read somewhere > that just deleteing them wont do it and can be BAD.. You have to recreate the file then HUP syslogd. Let your machines run over Friday night and the logs will be turned automatically by the cron task that runs /etc/weekly, or on newer systems, newsyslog will roll the logs for you.

It should work; Linux and FreeBSD use the same X server, XFree86. I don't know about the noise, it may be a resource conflict or chip misdetection.

Probably not /dev; tar won't backup device special files. Easily fixed however.

Actually, I wiped out my 2.2.5 slices and clean-installed 2.2.6 from CD. The CD install went fine except for configuring X. I couldn't do it via XF86Setup. I even disabled moused and tried it, but no luck. No real problem there, I could do it once I rebooted the system. When I did reboot, and restored my 2.2.5 files, I got a strange error trying to start user ppp from the start_if.tun0 file. It complained about not being able to find libdes. True enough, I did not install the DES package as I'm quite happy with MD5. I thought that ppp should start up no matter what encryption style I was using. After all, it had worked fine under 2.2.5. So, I started up /stand/sysinstall and added DES, and sure enough, ppp ran fine. Then I ran XF86Setup (after a fresh kernel recompile), and to my delight, it recognized my "wheel" IntelliMouse. I loved the new config options. That went smoothly. Then I started X. The new Xwrapper threw me off some, but I figured that out. What was really strange was xterm. Everytime I started up an xterm -ls, it never erased its entry from utmp. I tried recompiling X and using different WM, but no luck. These are the only odd things I've noticed in 2.2.6, so kudos to the Team. By the way, I love the improved Linux support.

You need to make sure the space you are allocating to FreeBSD is completely unallocated, not part of any other partition. Use `fips' to split space out of an existing partition if you need to.

The new GENERIC is supplied as kernel.GENERIC though.

I have :) You mount UNIX disks the same way you mount DOS disks except you don't specify a type. For instance, I have a new disk on sd0 that I just formatted, so to mount it I run: mount /dev/sd0s1a /mnt And the disk shows up on /mnt. If you want them to show up automatically, add entries for the disks to /etc/fstab. See http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/diskformat/ for details.

I would suggest running a serial console to another computer or dumb terminal via null modem cable and see if you can crash the system. Any panic output will appear there (when the panic happens it goes to the console which you can't see because you're in X). I would also check top or systat -pigs and make sure no process is going bananas.

I am using System Commander to boot the system. I had > expected some problems with System Commander from discussions in the > > Jay Moseley Given that you are running two OSes on the second drive (wd1) I doubt that your freebsd kernel will be found on the slice 'wd1a'. The kernel will be more likely found on 'wd1s2a' or something similar. Read "The Complete FreeBSD" for the skinny on disc naming conventions. I cant remember the exact syntax (I would have to reboot to remember :)) for telling the boot strap (correct jargon??) how to find the kernel. When your system is starting it is apparent that System Commander finds the boot strap fine or you would not even get the errors that you have received. So next time you boot, when you see the prompt 'boot:' it will say someting like 'kernel (wd,1,a)'. Type in the real slice that your kernel is found on. For example: boot: (wd,1,s1a) Please keep in mind that I do not remember the precise syntax. Syntax is left as an exercise for the reader :). I just hope this gets you going in the correct direction and helps you get into your system for the first time. Good luck. With these vague instructions, you will need it.

Information concerning installing FreeBSD (including non-CDROM installation) is included at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html This includes from-floppy installation, which I do not recommend if you have other options. One of the (potentially) easiest methods is to use a network connection to the Internet, either Ethernet or modem and ppp/slip. I have done both and found them quite painless (although the modem method can be time-consuming, but not much more so than downloading the floppies in the first place).

The soundcard needs the new sound driver with 2.2.6, and no implementation of USB exists for UNIX yet. Overall, should be okay. If you can get the boot floppy's main menu you are probably home free.

I've seen these before, usually from proxy servers or firewalls as it loops around inside a device (probably a router belonging to home.net). I usually consider this an error; you should probably bother their network ops about it just to check.

Also, If any problems do arise, what can I do to make the >scanner functional with FreeBSD? The only caveats I know of off the top of my head concerning scanners are these: 1. FreeBSD does not have support for particular scanners by default. SANE does support scanners and works with FreeBSD. http://www.mostang.com/sane/ 2. Many scanners are somewhat poor SCSI devices and tend to do things which negatively affect system performance. I'm not entirely sure what the right names for these things are; I think the problem is that when the scanner is handling requests, it holds onto the bus and doesn't let other devices (like hard drives) make requests or respond. Some scanners can be set to other modes, but I don't know about the ScanMakers. In addition, some scanners misreport their SCSI IDs, and so they may require minor kernel modifications for correct detection. -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 29 23:53:07 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id XAA12357 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 29 Mar 1998 23:53:07 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id XAA12350 for ; Sun, 29 Mar 1998 23:53:04 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.7/8.8.8) with SMTP id XAA23831; Sun, 29 Mar 1998 23:52:31 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Date: Sun, 29 Mar 1998 23:52:31 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: Doug White To: Mark Castillo cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: upgrading 2.2.5-R to 2.2-Stable In-Reply-To: <008f23348051938UPIMSSMTPUSR03@email.msn.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Tue, 24 Mar 1998, Mark Castillo wrote: > I am planning on upgrading my 2.2.5-R system to 2.2-Stable via cvsup and > make world.

Odd. You can set the settings by building a new kernel and specifying the settings of the devices you want and removing the rest, but dset should work.

Try adding a `Reply-To:' header line that points to the address you want the mail to go to. See my header; I write from dwhite@gdi but mail goes to dwhite@resnet. This is done with a change to ~/.pinerc, I think the keyword is `customized-headers'.

RELENG_2_2's sio.c branched at rev 1.147 and 16650 activity is logged at rev 1.130, so it should be in there. If not it should be an easy port.

Yes, I know that FreeBSD uses direct access mode with SCSI disks, but, anyway, is it possible to use so-called "normal geometry" (Mbytes/64/32) with SLHAs instead of default for SLHA (magic_number/63/255) ?

I have a couple of questions about Cyclades Cyclom-Y multiports. I'm currently using 2.2.6-STABLE. 1. How stable the driver (cy.c) is and what version of the card is known as more stable with it ? a) ISA (Ye) b) PCI (YeP) 2. Now I have SM8 serial module for my card. Will it give me some performance benefits (or, worse, some problems) if I'll ``undef PollMode'' in cy.c ? 3. Is the driver known to well work with 16Y's and 32Y's ? And if YES, does it require some tuning for 16Y's and 32Y's? 4. Why PollMode is required for Cyclom-16Y's and does it required for 32Y's? * PollMode: required for Cyclom-16Y's; costs 10-20% relative efficiency on * Cyclom-8Y's (more with a low RxFifoThreshold).

It's the aic driver if you haven't already found out. Perhaps this should go into the release notes or something. I think there may also be 1510 or 1515 cards which also use the same chip and therefore probably the same driver. Tim.

There is a BSD command 'pmake' which has been introduced as a variant (but which does not replace the original 'make'). This variant is supposed to support advanced features that 'make' does not support in it's spec. For example the ability to utilise the C format '+=' to enable the concatenation to a defined variable, also the ability to include other files. However it is not compatible to the original 'make' nor does it support SCCS. I believe that what FreeBSD calls make is either 'pmake' or a modified version of it. It concerns me as an applications developer that something as important as 'make' is effectively non-conformant with the major systems like 'AIX', 'Solaris', 'HPUX' etc which use the non-variant 'make' Malcolm G.

My experience tells otherwise; the Solaris make on our 2.6 box in CS doesn't like my makefiles, and we always have this problem of having to convert makefiles over to bmake format every time we add programs to the contributed source.

Is there already an on-board serial port on sio0? You might want to move your modem to sio1 in that case. _Something_ is being detected at the irq/port you have assigned to the modem, but it might not be what you think. On my creaky old 486, even with port serial ports disabled in the BIOS setup, my PnP modem had to be on sio2 before it would work.

I have a small problem, which I want you to help me resolve using sendmail features/RULESETs. Here is it: There is a mailing list , which is protected to accept only those mails, which have its sender subscribed to the list. This is generally right, but makes me some inconvenience... I have subscribed a local alias (oracle-l@ucb.crimea.ua) to that list, which then delivers mail to a number of my users. But when users try to send out mail to the list, the only way to do this (in the time of writing) is to use sendmail's ``-f'' option to specify the name of ``from'' person to be Oracle-L@ucb.crimea.ua. Is there a way to make sendmail rewrite sender's name to oracle-l when the users send mail to oracle-l@dbinfo.com. I have tried to modify RULESET_1 to do this, but macro $u isn't yet defined while parsing RULESET_1. Any ideas?

To do this we have installed a second ethernet card (fxp1) with an internal IP address. There is also a second dns server on the internal network which handles internal dns queries. When email clients connect to the POP server via the router the address is translated and all works well, but when connecting via fxp1 (with appropriate IP addresses etc. configured on the client machine) the connection seems to take a huge amount of time, before eventually making a connection. Once connected, normal transactions occur as expected. Similarly, telnetting to the external network address works almost instantaneously, but telnetting to the internal address incurs the same sort of delays. This doesn't seem to be dns related since the same delays occur whether using FQDNs or IP addresses. The machine is running 2.2.2-R with 2 intel etherexpress cards. any thoughts? cheers, Carey Nairn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 30 06:47:43 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id GAA12595 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Mon, 30 Mar 1998 06:47:43 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from kaschynna.com (kaschynna.com [206.63.164.9]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id GAA12590 for ; Mon, 30 Mar 1998 06:47:40 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from flerll@kaschynna.com) Received: from localhost (flerll@localhost) by kaschynna.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id EAA05416; Mon, 30 Mar 1998 04:22:01 -0800 (PST) Date: Mon, 30 Mar 1998 04:22:01 -0800 (PST) From: Jerry Blancher To: Nicholas Lysaght cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG, mail.ami.com.au@hub.freebsd.org Subject: Re: BSD AND ZIP DRIVE In-Reply-To: <351F63C9.552C@ami.com.au> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG _______________________________________________________________________ Kaschynna Communications mailto:flerll@kaschynna.com Internet Presence Provider mailto:flerll@drachenforge.com Coeur d'Alene, Idaho 208.765.9312 208.769.7337 Interactive MU* Hosting http://kaschynna.com/mudhost/ Drachen Forge MUD-telnet drachenforge.com 8000-http://drachenforge.com/ On Mon, 30 Mar 1998, Nicholas Lysaght wrote: > Hi There > > I have an Iomega ZIP-100 drive, which I would like to run under FreeBSD. > From the docs I'v read, it looks a hard slog. > > But a friend who runs Red Hat Linux mailed me to look for an > "automounter deamon". > > Is there such a thing with FreeBSD > > Thanks > > NICK > I have been running my 1gig Jaz drive on my Freebsd version 2.2.5 with little problems. The kernel had no problems detecting the SCSI card. The problems that I found is when the drive goes into sleep mode, and the kernel tries to detect it while it's in sleep mode, it will not detect the drive correctly. I suppose that you can change the SCSI wait in the kernel to wait longer for the jaz to come up to full running operation, but I found that 2.2.5 takes forever to come up as it is, do I choose not to do that. I got jazcontrol for FreeBSD to bring up the jaz drive before I'd do a reboot and it would detect it fine. But that is only required if you have the jaz drive auto-matically mounted on start-up. Otherwise, you can just use jazcontrol to bring up the jaz drive before you manually mount it. The latter is what I used for the most time till recently when my HD was givin me problems and so I took some load off it by running some of my aplications off the jaz drive, in which I had to make the jaz mount automatically at startup. (Side note: access time to the Jaz drive is ALOT better then it is to my 4gig Quantum Bigfoot[cheap, stock installed piece of Crud]). If you need the Jazcontrol file, let me know and I'll send you a copy as I have read reciently that it's not easy to find anymore.

I have the freebsd installation cd (1 out of the 4cd set). I want to install freebsd 2.2.5 native on my laptop. The win95 machine has the cdrom drive. I have a parallel<>parallel port cable linking the two machines. The host machine with the cdrom in it is called i-zone. All m$oft compatible protocols are enabled with this identity on the host machine (that is tcp/ip, which I think is required for the laptop to see the cdrom drive through nfs) ipx/spx (without which direct cable connection doesn't work) and netbeui (links with ipx/spx). The laptop thinks it is called i-zonelap. When the laptop was running win95, it called the cdrom D. i-zone calls the cdrom F. I then start direct cable connection listening on the parallel interface. I have set this up so that no passwords are required. Booting boot.flp all goes smoothly until I configure the media to install from. I set netconfig on the laptop so that the machine name is i-zonelap, with no other parameters. It warns me that I will not be able to see anything outside my local network. I select nfs as the installation media. It then asks me the name of the machine and the directory to install from. I say i-zone:/d It then says it cannot find i-zone:/d (or i-zone: or anything else) What am I doing wrong here, and what (if any) is the workaround?

You're not the only one with this problem. After 6 months of battling this problem off and on, here's what I have found as your only solution. I have to assume you are trying to dedicate the whole drive to FBSD like I was. It has something to do with the BIOS (and/drive ?). The only way to get your "beast" to boot up naturally, is to install a DOS partition on your drive. Do this so when you get into the FBSD fdisk editor, you can record the geometry reported. This is the geometry to use for your disk. While in the fdisk partion editor, zap that DOS partion outta there, and say you want the whole disk used for FBSD, remaining cooperative with other OS's. If you choose to dedicate the whole drive to FBSD w/o being cooperative, you will get the "Read error" message again. If you don't have a DOS disk, try this for the geometry: Mbtyes/64/32. ie. 1010/64/32 for a 1.1 GB disk; even though the FAQ recommended that I use 128/63/255. fdisk didn't like this! It was recommending that I use 128/255/63, and I'd still get "Read error". Ugh. I say it is a BIOS/HD problem because given the EXACT same machine, controller, RAM etc, if I install a 1GB SCSI HD I get the "Read error". If I put a 2GB SCSI HD in, I can dedicate the whole drive to FBSD and get this -- IT WORKS! Go figure.

Odd. The command tells the console driver to reset the resolution to 80x25, hopefully that will clear the scrambled condition. Apparently it doesn't work in your case, so you are probably out of luck. You may want to run X via xdm so that you log directly into X vice logging into the console and using startx. Simply add `xdm' to /etc/rc.local to activate, and move your .xinitrc to .xsession.

You shouldn't need to do this. Your netmask specifies that the broadcast address for your router's link should be 158.97.1.0.

Sure -- use the boot floppy/fixit floppy or boot floppy/liveFS CROM combo to get you a shell, mount up your FSs, and rebuild.

Destroy the old partition or use `fdisk /mbr' in DOS to delete the boot manager and simply use the active partition status flag to set the partition you want to use.

This does not belong on hackers. Anything that is in the manual does not belong on hackers. Anyhow, see manpage on ftpd in regards to chroot support. There are a couple of ways of doing it. I do it via a login class. You probably want to re-build ftpd with internal ls support to facilate chroot operation.

I wrote down some of the info: fatal trap 12, page fault while in kernel mode fault address: 0x10 fault cause: supervisor read, page not present current process: idle interrupt mask: net tty bro panic: page fault What does it mean, Stimpy? --------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel R.

Also 'restore' keeps having to try to re-sync the backup tape as well, claiming it's out of sync, skippin 'x' blocks etc. The system does everything else fine, it builds worlds in a shade under an hour - it does dumps, it will quite happily fsck all the drives at the same time as the system comes up - it just won't do restores... :-( Has anyone else noticed anything similar? System is running 2.2.6 with 160Mb of RAM, 6 SCSI drives (running off an AHA2940UW), and 1 HP C1533A running off an AHA1542CF...

Install and setup samba from the ports tree. Samba provides Windows Networking-style server access to the FreeBSD box. You'll have to set up the FreeBSD box to print first, but that isn't too difficult with the Handbook on your side.

We had this discussion a while back and decided that having a gigantic 650MB image wasn't going to be very useful due to reliability problems downloading such a large image, plus the diskspace lost to a single static file.

The system may be holding on to it and will commit out when it needs the swap. Check 'top' and see who's hogging all the memory.

Just curious if any programs have hard coded paths in them; deamons usually have, but that's beyond the scope... I guess I'll try and see... :) Anybody know if I can create a PATH that chooses certain (local) directories before other (nfs-mounted), e.g. by choosing a certain order?

It can be done, but it requires some surgical work behind the installer to make enough room for stuff to come in. I just did this a few weeks ago :) Basically, blow away /usr/include and /usr/share as fast as they fill in. Kill selected stuff out of /usr/libexec, and be really careful around /lib and /usr/lib (it helps to have a machine you can NFS from to steal libs back from). I didn't bother with swap.

There's no mention in the index, and I can't find it by looking through the "Popular Extensions" chapter. If you *do* want some kind of treatment of BSD make, look at "Porting UNIX Software" (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/port/noframes.html).

Thanks If you get the message: panic: Cannot mount root At the end of the probe sequence you should either: 1. Have the line: config kernel root on wd2 in your kernel config, OR: 2. Rename the second disk to wd1 in the kernel config (comment out the original wd1 line and change the wd2 line to read wd1, leaving all other parameters unchanged).

To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Cc: fbibsd@yahoo.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi -- I'm trying to set up an embedded FreeBSD system which will boot from a Flash memory solid state disc, and run a customized system with various application and server processes in RAM. The system is expected to run for indefinitely long periods of time (e.g. many months) without reboot / restart. I plan to utilise 2.2-stable for the O/S. What mechanisms are available to make it so that the system doesn't swap (via strict prohibition, or 'in practice')? Are there significant limitations within the memory management / process management systems which I should be aware of in order to prevent resource loss, inefficiency, unreliability for very long uptimes? If I must have a swap device, then is it possible to use something like a MFS to reserve a memory area as the only 'swap device', with no disc backing store for it at all? Swapping to Flash memory would be very bad because (a) it is slow, and (b) it has a limited rewrite lifetime. I've seen on the hackers list various people talking of using FreeBSD for embedded 'diskless' (Flash / ROM only) applications, though I've never seen the issues of swaping and resource recycling addressed.

It depends on how the remote site is generated. FreeBSD's own web page source is in a CVS tree which we can grab & regenerate via cvsup. This is how www7.freebsd.org stays current.
