NEVER, NEVER, NEVER use ctrl-alt-del from within any OS other than DOS. That includes FreeBSD. NEVER use ctrl-alt-del from within FreeBSD. To reboot, login as root and type: shutdown -r now Rebooting with ctrl-alt-del can corrupt your filesystems and cause data loss. Sorry for yelling, but this is a very important point.

To: questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hello-- I have FreeBSD running on a 486dx2/66(Cyrix) with a VLB IDE controler. I want to put a adaptech 1542CF scsi card and a 1 gb disk on the system, but I'm having all kinds of problems. I can't get the bootfloppy to see the scsi card, so I just installed to my IDE drive and recompiled the kernel without some drivers. I have the system booted up from an IDE drive with the recompiled kernel and all seems to work fine until I try to start up /stand/sysinstall. It never sets up the partitions on the disk that I specified in the two disk editing screens. I did try booting -c from the boot floppy. Didn't work. :( I tried to config the scsi disk from the CLI, and I got this: % disklabel sd0 sd0: invalid primary partition table: no magic The disk was on a DOS machine previous to this. This disk is a DEC RZ26L 1001M drive. I'm pretty sure it has variable geometry. I've seen everything from 4 to 64 heads reported from this drive. If *ANYONE* knows how to get a primary partition table back on it, I'd be forever grateful. I've already tried creating an entry in /etc/disktabs and then doing disklabel -w -r /dev/sd0c rz26l foo I can actually get a 1GB partition newfs'd and mounted, but I would rather have several different partitions for /usr, /var, etc...

You are now running a driver different from syscons/sc0 with a different behaviour and different utilities to control it's behaviour. The complete documentation for pcvt is located under the directory: /usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/Misc/Doc please have a look at ALL those files.

Any hints on how to change it back?

There ar four conceptual parts to a News system: 1) Operating system. /, /usr, /var, etc. 2) The history database. 3) The actual news spool. 4) Swap partitions. Basically, your best optimizations come from splitting in this order: 1) split the history database from the news spool. 2) split the news spool from itself (ie, put "alt" on one disk and everything else somewhere else) 3) split the news spool (and history) from the swap partition. 4) split the operating system off. (3 is memory dependent...if you have less than 48 meg of core memory it might become more inmportant). The history database sitting on it's own disk is a major win, because it gets accessed once for each article that arrives, and every time expire runs. It doesn't need two gigs though -- a 500 meg disk is more than adequate to hold two copies of a pretty big history file (and nothing else!) Be sure you read the INN FAQ -carefully!- before splitting things up. INN seriously assumes you're on one big disk, and there are lots of nasty little flags you need to give to news.daily, expire, fastrm, and the like to make things work correctly.

Does FreeBSD support multiple-drive volumes?? I was under the (perhaps incorrect) assumption that this 'striping' support still did not exist in FreeBSD.

Sorry for yelling, but this is a very important point. Yes, but if shutdown is unavailable....the system is locked up....perhaps ctrl-alt-del is a better option than turning off the power altogether or hitting the reset button. "Back channel" communications among new users (new to Unix & FreeBSD) suggest that quite a few of us have depended on ctrl-alt-del until we figured out shutdown, and with no ill effects. As someone wrote to me, "You don't even have to be logged in as root!" It would be interesting to have a more complete explanation of the problem and the options here, as well as the admonition "Don't log in as root, use su." Why not? A user id of 0 results in either case.

It does in html mode, but not in cpp > mode. [ ... Coding style ... ] I've found that coding style is generally a function of the tools you use to manipulate the code. For most UNIX-oids, it's 'vi', 'find', and 'grep', etc. Use of tag-files reduces the utility of some of these tools, making then redundant. Use of things like "cvi" results in some "unnatural" standards that become much easier to use with macro-editing. You can almost pick out which system and what tools a programmer uses by the coding style, unless they are real green and haven't established a style or adopted a standard style for a platform, with minor variations. For instance, you typically see instead of when a programmer uses the ^ regular expression to find a function declaration, either in vi in a single file or using grep over a large number of files. You see { Instead of { or { when a programmer uses the vi "[[" and "]]" commands (without using a "set paragraphs=" command in their .exrc) to find function starts. You see { instead of { When the programmer uses the vi "$%" to match statement scope, since it is less finger motion than "j%", etc., etc.. Not much relevance, I know, but it's an interesting aside.

Actually, you'd think it'd use reserved ports to implement rcmd-like vouchsafe authentication so you can avoid the annoying login from a trusted system that you're already authenticated to.

Sorry for yelling, but this is a very important point. BZZT. Thanks for playing, but you're wrong. means nothing to *any* OS unless the OS allows does something special with that sequence of keys. In FreeBSD, it used to mean absolutely nothing until I added the ability for it to reboot the system in the same manner as people were used to under DOS/Windows. When you press in FreeBSD you are basically doing the same thing as a 'shutdown -h now'. No disk corruption, no data loss. Now, whether or not you think it's a good thing to have is up to you, but you can safely do it under FreeBSD. However, you can't do it inside of X unless you patch the X-Server to pass the keystrokes to the kernel, which is actually a pretty trivial patch, but it isn't done by default. Read the man pages on syscons, kbdmap, and kbdcontrol for more information.

I got the docs from the FTP site and still have a question. I need to make absolutely sure that FreeBSD works with Boca 6-port i/o cards. One document mentions all Boca cards except for the 6 port, and the other mentions only the 6 port and not the others. Can you tell me if FreeBSD does in fact support the 6 port card from Boca, is it easy to configure, and will it work in conjunction with a regular comport thus giving me 7 i/o ports on a single pc?

Sorry for yelling, but this is a very important point. Actually, FreeBSD's handling of ctrl-alt-del is not dangerous. It causes the kernel to do a controlled reboot, almost identical to "reboot" or "shutdown -r now". -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 3 13:42:53 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id NAA26028 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 3 Dec 1995 13:42:53 -0800 Received: from CVAX.IPFW.INDIANA.EDU (cvax.ipfw.indiana.edu [149.164.1.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with SMTP id NAA26021 for ; Sun, 3 Dec 1995 13:42:45 -0800 From: koenig@CVAX.IPFW.INDIANA.EDU Received: by CVAX.IPFW.INDIANA.EDU (MX V4.1 VAX) id 44; Sun, 03 Dec 1995 16:42:34 EST Date: Sun, 03 Dec 1995 16:42:34 EST To: questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <0099A526.CF58AEFA.44@CVAX.IPFW.INDIANA.EDU> Subject: Question regarding Creative Labs proprietary CD-ROM interface Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Good day: I have a question regarding FreeBSD 2.0.5 (although I believe the question pertains also to 2.1.0). I am attempting to get 2.0.5 to work with a Creative Labs CD-ROM drive that is attached to the system via a proprietary Creative CD-ROM interface card (i.e. this is *NOT* the proprietary Creative interface on a SoundBlaster card, *NOR* is this a SCSI interface on a SoundBlaster card, but is rather a Creative card that controls only a Creative CD-ROM drive). I believe from the FAQs that this card should work, and indeed the kernel identifies the card and the attached CD-ROM drive as it probes for devices. However, when I attempt to install from the drive or mount the drive under 2.0.5, the kernel somehow at that point can no longer see the device and reports that no CD-ROM devices exist on the system. My question is: am I doing something wrong that I can correct with enough tinkering, or is this Creative Labs CD-ROM proprietary interface (on a Creative CD-ROM-only card, *NOT* a SB card) simply not supported in 2.0.5 and 2.1.0? Any help or references to the appropriate FAQs where this is discussed in greater detail is greatly appreciated. Thanks to the entire FreeBSD team for the tremendous effort that goes into this software! ---Greg Greg Koenig From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 3 13:43:49 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id NAA26097 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 3 Dec 1995 13:43:49 -0800 Received: from westhill.cdrom.com (westhill.cdrom.com [192.216.223.138]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id NAA26090 for ; Sun, 3 Dec 1995 13:43:46 -0800 From: gpalmer@westhill.cdrom.com Received: from localhost.cdrom.com (localhost.cdrom.com [127.0.0.1]) by westhill.cdrom.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id NAA28776 ; Sun, 3 Dec 1995 13:43:21 -0800 X-Authentication-Warning: westhill.cdrom.com: Host localhost.cdrom.com didn't use HELO protocol To: craigs@os.com (Craig Shrimpton) cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: linux emulation In-reply-to: Your message of "Sun, 03 Dec 1995 15:43:15 EST." <199512032043.PAA02007@solar.os.com> Date: Sun, 03 Dec 1995 13:43:20 -0800 Message-ID: <28774.818027000@westhill.cdrom.com> Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Craig Shrimpton wrote in message ID <199512032043.PAA02007@solar.os.com>: > Why would anyone want to "emulate" Linux?

It's hard to increase the size of a superblock in UFS without the world going to hell. You'd need a tool for it and there isn't one at this time.

Hi Michael, The Boca IOAT66 cards work like a champ. A friend and I put them in our machines this Fall. I believe we submitted a FAQ entry on setting it up. If it hasn't appeared yet, email me and I'll get you a copy. The only thing you need to realize up front is that it uses 10-pin RJ-45's which are not too common. 10-base-T uses 8-pin RJ-45's. We ordered a bunch of "custom made" cables for about $2 a piece with two 10-pin RJ-45's, then cut them in half to make two cables with BD-25's or DB-9's on the other end. If you want to pay more you can let the cable makers to this, or buy the cables ready made from Boca at something like $15 a pair! BTW, you should be able to stick two of these cards in your box using only one IRQ per card. That gets you up to 12 ports. Maybe more if you can set some other cards to really wierd I/O addresses and without using IRQ's 4 & 5. cheers, Adrian adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| Support your local programmer, http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~atf3r/ --->>>| STOP Software Patent Abuses NOW!

(archie for it) It runs fine under FreeBSD. A side note: I believe slurp and suck both issue NEWNEWS commands to the server which has LARGE impact on the server (at least INN). I've gone to psl which is a perl slurp and it uses .newsrc type files to retrieve news the same way your reader would (MUCH less overhead). > -Mit > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Will Mitayai Keeso Rowe, mitayai@dreaming.org > http://www.dreaming.org/~mitayai > Toronto, Ontario, Canada ______________________________________________________________________ Rob Snow Powered by FreeBSD rsnow@txdirect.net http://www.freebsd.org From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 3 22:41:29 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id WAA01501 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 3 Dec 1995 22:41:29 -0800 Received: from dworshak.cs.uidaho.edu (root@dworshak.cs.uidaho.edu [129.101.100.160]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id WAA01495 for ; Sun, 3 Dec 1995 22:41:27 -0800 Received: from brownlee.cs.uidaho.edu (brownlee.cs.uidaho.edu [129.101.120.128]) by dworshak.cs.uidaho.edu (8.6.12/1.1) with ESMTP id WAA29970 for ; Sun, 3 Dec 1995 22:41:20 -0800 Received: (evans911@localhost) by brownlee.cs.uidaho.edu (8.6.10/1.0) id WAA05069; Sun, 3 Dec 1995 22:41:19 -0800 Date: Sun, 3 Dec 1995 22:41:19 -0800 (PST) From: Jason Evans To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Tape backup compatibility Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk My apologies for asking a simple question, but I've not been able to find documentation which answers it: What SCSI tape drives are supported?

However, in the handbook that comes with 2.1.0 it says: "npx0 is the interface to the math coprocessor . . . If you do not have a math coprocessor, you can comment this out."

It identifies itself as filling every Logical Unit in the chain, except the SCSI adapter itself. It comes up during the SCSI card detect device bit, where the card prints up all the devices connected to it, & there it is 6 times.

It works fine except of the NIS incompatibility of FreeBSD/BSDI code. The server can't read passwd entries via YP so that you have to have a special passwd at some place in your filesystem where the server can read it and then you must specify place in the server config 0 of course :-).

This can be seen when using the spreadsheet 'ss', and nvi.1.5x in split-screen. Removing the 'ms' flag from the termcap entry fixes this. (The pcvt termcap entries also contain 'ms', but the pcvt console driver handles the cursor movement correctly.)

This is fine and dandy, but will not work for, e.g., DOOM, which doesn't give you the source. Linux Netscape is also better than FreeBSD/BSDi Netscape in that it supports JAVA applets, and other cool stuff, and some people like to run that browser instead.

On-board Floppie (1542CF Floppie Controller Disabled) 1 on-board Parallel port (disabled) First problem was (stupid me) had deleted the "I486_CPU" stuff from my config file, so, surprise, surprise, the system wouldn't even boot my kernel. I re-installed my 386 MB and rebuilt the kernel with "I486_CPU" and "I586_CPU" re-inserted. The kernel now boots (hurrah!) on the 486 board! Second problem (I haven't found and fixed this yet). The system has two(2) on-board 16C550 (probably ASIC equiv) UART's. The kernel recognizes the first UART (at 3F8), and doesn't see the second one (even tho the port shows up on the BIOS set-up screen). The real problem is with my USR 28.8 Internal modem. It's mapped to 3e8 IRQ2 (actually IRQ 9) and works just fine on my '386 with the SAME kernel, but with the '486 it's not even found....... This is my PPP connection and I really need it........ Last problem (so far) is at boot time I get a: BIOS ERROR: RTC.....(not the exact words) It seems the kernel has problems with my RTC (real-time-clock). I will continue to investigate to-nite, but would appreciate any help you can give.......

Well, lots of people have said this. Windows certainly gets it to work, they might of course by querying the drive and realising it's a ony but I've certainly done nothing in Windows other than start up the cd player. Someone said that their Sony drives worked fine, workman has code to support a Sony drive but the FreeBSD port is broken in that it doesn't do any drive queries to find out what it is. I hacked the code so that it did do a drive query and the SCSI_INQUIRY command failed!

There are two likely problems that you are encountering. One of them is the sorry state of the FreeBSD lpt driver (don't throw veggies at me folks, please :) Sometimes, it's just slow, as if it were missing interrupts. I don't know what it is, and cannot afford to try another kernel on my only BSD machine. Usually, the driver will get to behave better once the device has been closed, and then it keeps running okay. Usually... What I do to resolve this state is that I send a couple of printer resets at the machine power-up, hoping that there is nothing else queued for the printer. The other problem could be one of those PnP software configurable sound cards emulating Sound Blaster. I've had some different ones (all with UMC chipset) and they seem to occupy IRQ 7 at power-up, even though they are not fully initialized at that time. Either move your printer interrupt elsewhere (beware, the sound card might be occupying the IRQ 5 for the MPU-UART) or boot DOS first and configure the casrd elsewhere (followed with CTRL-ALT-DEL or, perhaps fbsdboot.)

(aren't they the same thing?) `ufs' is the generic ``UNIX-style filesystem with inodes, devices, and symlinks''. `ffs' is a particular instance of `ufs' with an on-disk layout policy. `mfs' is a specialized kind of `ffs' which is only backed by swap. `lfs' is another instance of `ufs', with a different on-disk layout policy and a couple of system calls. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

It is strongly believed in some part of the research community that implementing threads in the kernel is a Really Bad Idea(tm). What you actually want to do, these people say, is to implement threads in user-space with a few hooks in the kernel (``kernel threading assist'') to allow the user-mode thread scheduler to get control at appropriate times. This has the benefit that an individual program can easily specify and/or modify its own thread-scheduling policy without affecting any other program or requiring changes to the kernel. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

This is an artifact of the default static FS initialization mechanism. 2) You must have at least one static FS that contains all allowable VOP's. This is an artificate of /ys/kern/vfs_init.c having a loop to count VOP's instead of an extern variable to set up the variable num_vops in vnode_if.c, where it really belongs. > I assume we can support it?

"UFS" is a set of common code used by both FFS and LFS (LFS is an FFS derived log structured file system). Like Veritas (VXFS), LFS uses FFS directory structures and other shared code to get flexnames.

Or where can one can find instruct5ions on this? The "ibcs2" 'program' is a shell script that loads the module using "modload". Look at the end of /etc/sysconfig.
