I take it you did get your old kernel to boot (using the 1:wd(2,a) trick), so I'd suggest you'd boot that to edit the file. This way you'll have your system back (assuming you didn't delete the old kernel this would mean typing: 1:wd(2,a)/kernel.old at the boot: prompt). In /etc/fstab replace all references to wd2 with wd1. If you can't get you system to boot normnally, type -s at the boot: prompt, which will get you to single user mode. >From there, mount /usr manually, and use whatever utiulity you fancy to replace all occurances of wd2 in /etc/fstab with wd1. > > I could use a DETAILED description (please remember, I know DOS and Windows > forward and backwards; but UNIX is completely new to me) of how to go about > correcting this problem. > > Many thanks in advance, especially to the many who have already help me so far. > I realize this is all volunteer support and I would have given up long ago > without the help... > > Thanks :) > > Clayton Carney Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Nov 24 00:38:04 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id AAA04220 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 24 Nov 1996 00:38:04 -0800 (PST) Received: from gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (gatekeeper.barcode.co.il [192.116.93.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id AAA04212 for ; Sun, 24 Nov 1996 00:37:58 -0800 (PST) Received: (from smap@localhost) by gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (8.7.5/8.6.12) id KAA05995; Sun, 24 Nov 1996 10:36:40 +0200 (IST) X-Authentication-Warning: gatekeeper.barcode.co.il: smap set sender to using -f Received: from localhost.barcode.co.il(127.0.0.1) by gatekeeper.barcode.co.il via smap (V1.3) id sma005993; Sun Nov 24 10:36:24 1996 Message-ID: <329808DB.1972@barcode.co.il> Date: Sun, 24 Nov 1996 10:35:39 +0200 From: Nadav Eiron X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.02 (X11; I; SunOS 5.5 sun4m) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Aquadynamics Pty Ltd CC: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: X Windows Problem References: <199611230551.NAA01382@pluto.ca.com.au> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Aquadynamics Pty Ltd wrote: > > I have just installed FreeBSD.

What puzzles me is how you managed to add anything to either file if you weren't root. In any case, you shouldn't write anything in /etc/passwd: to create a new /etc/passwd, you modify /etc/master.passwd and run pwd_mkdb. The easy way to do this is with vipw, which does it for you, but you need to be root to do so. > I admit most of this garbage is probably due to my lack of experience with > FreeBSD...I have used slackware for a long time and never had these kinds > of difficulties..but I wanted to use FreeBSD for its great network stability.

But its > just so volatile, that if it breaks..I have a really hard time fixing it. Once you've got your machine up in single user mode, and have /usr mounted, run vipw. You probably want to undo your changes. If there is anything wrong with it, vipw will tell you. You'll need to explicitly set the TERM environment variable to run vipw: TERM=cons25 export TERM If that doesn't help, let me know.

What puzzles me is how you managed to add anything to either file if you weren't root. In any case, you shouldn't write anything in /etc/passwd: to create a new /etc/passwd, you modify /etc/master.passwd and run pwd_mkdb. The easy way to do this is with vipw, which does it for you, but you need to be root to do so. > I admit most of this garbage is probably due to my lack of experience with > FreeBSD...I have used slackware for a long time and never had these kinds > of difficulties..but I wanted to use FreeBSD for its great network stability.

You probably want to undo your changes. If there is anything wrong with it, vipw will tell you. You'll need to explicitly set the TERM environment variable to run vipw: TERM=cons25 export TERM If that doesn't help, let me know.

I've been trying to understand some of the arp code in relation to why I get the cannot intuit message when adding a host via arp -s. Basically in arp.c, function rtmsg(), a socket is written to and read from. Socket(2) is called with the PF_ROUTE, SOCK_RAW options earlier in the code; contained in function getsocket(). Okay, now I know the buffer being written to the socket contains the correct information in the field that I am interested in, but after the read the info is no longer there. The # bytes written is 108 and the amount read is 128, which is the struct rt_msghdr size. Finally to my question, what goes on when the socket is written to? More specifically is the info processed in any way so that when the read is executed the info should be changed????? Or in short, am I to expect to read something from the socket that I didn't write????? Please respond to me directly b/c I'm not subbed at this time.

A while back I wrote a hack that basically ran netstat for all listening ports, then did a reverse ident query to find out which users where running what on what port. There's one problem there, you only know userX ran something on port xxxx. I realy wouldnt do this, you have to realise there are programs at user level that bind to a port. FTP comes to mind where the client opens up an additional port to get the data from. Ofcourse like I mentioned earlier userX running on port xxx, not a pid number there. Look into pidentd and check their code for FreeBSD, how they query the kernel for the open ports etc. The best solution is to use an ip firewall, run all ftp/http/etc through a proxy. -- Thamer Al-Herbish shadows@whitefang.com shadows@kuwait.net -=WhiteFang UNIX Software Development and Consultancy=- From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Nov 24 10:03:04 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id KAA02051 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 24 Nov 1996 10:03:04 -0800 (PST) Received: from jtnet.com (jtnet.com [165.254.156.252]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id KAA02028 for ; Sun, 24 Nov 1996 10:02:57 -0800 (PST) Organization: Just The Net (div. of Onesimus Enterprises Int'l Inc) Received: (from root@localhost) by jtnet.com (8.8.3/8.8.3) id NAA02158; Sun, 24 Nov 1996 13:02:53 -0500 (EST) Date: Sun, 24 Nov 1996 13:02:53 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199611241802.NAA02158@jtnet.com> To: questions@freebsd.org X-URL: http://www.freebsd.org/support.html X-Mailer: Lynx, Version 2.5FM X-Personal_name: John Chin From: jjchin@onesimus.com Subject: http://www.freebsd.org/support.html Cc: jjchin@onesimus.com Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have 2 Western Digital EIDE 2.5GB drives in my FreeBSD 2.1.5 system.

Just a couple of weeks ago I completed a FreeBSD 2.1.5 install on a Texas Instruments TM 4000 WinDX2 50MHz notebook. It has a 810MB AIDE disk and 8MB RAM. It works like charm now, but I had some problems during the install phase that I thought I would share, and some questions arise. 1'st the install phase. I made the boot disk on my Dual Pentium (IX) off the 2.1.5 WC CD. The TI booted OK. I proceeded to configure the disk (all disk space allocated to FreeBSD). In the meantime I had connected the TI to my network, with an interlink cable, to the PPro200 (DUNE). The plan was to access IX over the network, which had the SCSI CD-ROM at the time. I have used this procedure with several other brands of notebooks earlier, with success. I went through the process of configuring the parallel port device (lp0) on the TI with DUNE's IP address and got an instant error message: "Cannot configure device lp0", even if the boot process had reported the parallel port as "TCP/IP capable interface". I tried several times, even doing an "ifconfig lp0 " had no effect. I then proceeded to make the bin floppy distribution on MS-DOS formatted diskettes. After the dismal process of producing the diskettes, I began the installation anew. The TI notebook booted OK, but when I inserted the first floppy, the machine just hung on the floppy disk seek indefinitely. When I released the BIN floppy, I got a prompt reply that the install program had detected that the floppy had been removed. I got NO other error messages on the debug screen, or on the console. I repeated this a couple of times, and checking that all the files was on the floppies and that the catalog structure was right. It was. I must admit that I nearly gave up at the time, but I figured I just test a DOS partition install, which I had not used before. I set the disk up with 50MB and DOS 6.22 and the rest to FreeBSD, loaded the BIN floppies to "C:\FREEBSD\BIN". Proceeded to boot on the same FreeBSD boot floppy, specified a DOS partition install in the MEDIA menu, and presto, I had an operative FreeBSD on the TI notebook! And wonders of wonders, when I tested the "laplink" connection to DUNE, it also worked, so I proceeded to fetch the rest of the distribution with a standard NFS install over lp0. To conclude, the infamous floppy disk on the TI works as a charm now :->>> So, to the questions: 1. Is there something I have missed in the 2.1.5 install procedure related to "laplink" installs over lp ports? (I forgot to mention that all the other "laplink" installs I have done was with FreeBSD 2.0.5 and 2.0) 2. Is there any known problems with floppy disks "going to sleep on you" during the install phase? Comments on this, anyone? Best regards, Stein M.

I'm particular interested if one or both of these boards work in enhanced EISA mode under FreeBSD. It has been vaguely mentioned that the 3C579 is supported in a few online supported hardware summaries, but not a whole lot else is mentioned. Locating supported ISA or PCI NICs is not a problem, but EISA boards running in enhanced EISA mode is another story.

The symptoms are as follows: ypbind binds properly and I can ypcat etc no problem. Also 'ls' and friends have no problem converting UIDs to usernames via the NIS maps. However, programs like login, finger etc refuse to use NIS when looking up usernames, and hence noone in the NIS database can log in! After switching to libc.so.2.0, 'finger' worked fine (apart from the ld.so warnings about incorrect version numbers). Is there some cunning option I have to enable in 2.1.6 that I've missed, or is the code truely broken? Does anyone have a (temporary) solution?

I don't really know - I've long since lost track of what changed when, and someone with more distance from the problem would probably be able to answer that better.

At Boot I get the following inconsistancy : Boot@0x10000: 640/65472k I have 128K of memory. After booting the Kernel I go into the visual editor and remove all the unwanted drivers leaving (fdc0,lpt0,sio0,sio1,sc0,all PCI, and piix0 an unknown device, which if removed causes a reboot). I then go into the OPTIONS editor and change the Release name from 2.2- 961014-SNAP to 2.1.5-RELEASE and set the Media type to CDROM. then chose the Novice setup and set the geometry to get the C=> Flags, choose BootMgr,and then Auto for the Disk label editor, then minimal dist. and having answered Yes carry on, it then does : newfs -b 8192 -f 1024 /mnt/dev/rsd0 .. and then: extracting bin into / directory ... this get through to: "Saving any boot -c changes to new Kernel ..." at which point I get plastered across the screen "Fatal signal 11 caught!

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions IV: How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction =============== 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"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with break- ing into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter 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. 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. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions ============================================== When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG. In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean that you have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. In this case, you do need to tell Majordomo the correct name, and that's when the welcome message from Majordomo comes in handy. If you have not kept it, all is not lost. Send a message to majordomo asking for the list of the members of the group. In the text of the message, write: who freebsd-questions The names returned in the list are not all individual mail IDs: you'll see a number of names like: freebsd-questions-list@datatec.com freebsd-questions-redist@news.uni-stuttgart.de incoming-freebsd-questions@cisco.com freebsd-questions@clinet.fi freebsd-questions@mcs.anl.gov If you're on one of these lists, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. IF ALL ELSE FAILS ----------------- If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to Postmaster@FreeBSD.ORG, and he will sort things out for you. DON'T send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: How to submit a question ============================== When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider the following points: 1. Remember that 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: they look at the subject line and decide whether it interests them. Clearly, it's in your interest to specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Help" aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, many people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. 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. A lot of badly formatted messages come from bad mailers. The mailers in the Microsoft world are frequent offenders. If at all possible, use a UNIX mailer. If you must use a mailer under Microsoft environments, make sure it is set up correctly. Try not to use MIME: a lot of people use mailers which don't get on very well with MIME. 4. Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly. This may seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but many of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred messages a day. They frequently sort the incoming messages by subject and by date, and if your message doesn't come before the first answer, they may assume they missed it and not bother to look. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. If you do all this, and you still 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. To summarize, 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 2.1.5 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". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IV: How to answer a question ============================ Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider: 1. A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to answering questions. Read them. 2. Has somebody already answered the question? The easiest way to check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all together. If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean that you shouldn't send another answer. But it makes sense to read all the other answers first. 3. Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been said? In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much, although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software. If you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further relevant information. 4. Are you sure your answer is correct? If not, wait a day or so. If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI CD-ROM with a frog?". 5. Don't do a group reply; lots of people send messages with hundreds of CCs. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, just reply to the person and copy FreeBSD-questions. 6. Trim the original message to the minimum, and use some technique to identify which text came from the original message, and which text you add. I personally find that prepending "> " to the original message works best. Leaving white space after the ">" and leave empty lines between your text and the original text both make the result more readable. Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a text such as "Re: ". If your mailer doesn't do it automatically, you should do it manually. If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too long, inappropriate subject line), *please* fix it. In the case of an incorrect subject line (such as "HELP!!??"), change the subject line to (say) "Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was: HELP!!??)". That way other people trying to follow the thread will have less difficulty following it. In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you did it, but try not to be rude. If you find you can't answer without being rude, don't answer. If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format, just reply to the submitter, not to the list. You can just send him this message in reply, if you like.

The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. If you have this book, please check this list. If you find a bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me (grog@freebsd.org). --- Last change: 20 November 1996 --- Figure 10-4, page 172: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s3a through /dev/sd1s3h as shown. Figure 10-6, page 176: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are *still* called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s1a through /dev/sd1s1h as shown. (Well, at least the average turned out right :-) The man page section (pages 225 to 766) was sorted by ASCII name of the man page, with the result that the man pages whose names start with upper-case letters come before those whose names start with lower-case letters. Sorry about that. If you're looking for a man page, probably the best place to start is in the Table of Contents on page vi. The man pages are really just excerpts. The total FreeBSD man pages format to some 6,000 pages, far more than I could possibly put in this book. --- Changes: 1 November 1996 --- Major changes: 1. No difference in installation from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. When "The Complete FreeBSD" was written, you still needed a separate installation procedure for installing from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. This is no longer the case. The following modifications to the text come as a result: Page 14, table: Remove references to atapiflp.bat and inst_ide.bat. FreeBSD 2.1.5 no longer has separate boot floppies and installation procedures for ATAPI CD-ROM drives. Page 29: Remove the text "You will also need a different boot disk (/cdrom/floppies/atapi.flp). If you are creating the boot floppy with MS-DOS, you can use the file ATAPIFLP.BAT to create the floppy." The resultant text reads: IDE CD-ROM drives, more properly called ATAPI CD-ROM drives, are a new kind of CD-ROM drive which connect to the same controller as your IDE hard disk. Currently, FreeBSD 2.1.5 support for ATAPI CD-ROM drives is in alpha test. In order to install from an ATAPI CD-ROM, the drive must be jumpered as slave device. The installation may or may not work--please let us know if it doesn't, especially if you can give us some indication about the cause of the trouble. You can also create this boot diskette with the aid of the VIEW program (see Chapter 4, Installing FreeBSD, page 38). Page 35: Remove the points referring to atapi.flp. The text for the third box from the bottom of the page should read: If the direct boot doesn't work, you will need to make a boot floppy, which may be either a 3 1/2" or a 5 1/4" diskette. Create a boot floppy by copying the image /cdrom/boot.flp to diskette. Refer to Chapter 2, Installing FreeBSD, page 39. If you have an IDE (ATAPI) CD-ROM drive, see also the section on this kind of drive in Chapter 2, Installation Concepts, page 29. Page 43, after first example: remove references to ATAPI. The resultant text should read: Don't try this from MS Windows--the installation will fail with the message not enough memory. The boot will progress in the same way as if you had booted from floppy. The advantage of starting VIEW is that you get more documentation: ultimately VIEW will start INSTALL to boot the system. INSTALL doesn't always work. It depends on what drivers or TSRs are in your system. There's no reason to try changing your MS-DOS configuration to get it to work: it's a lot easier just to boot from floppy (see page 38 for further information). 2. Changes to section on installing a second disk. Page 170: The bottom paragraph should read: When the message Three seconds until format begins... appears, you can still change your mind by hitting CTRL-C before the message Formatting... appears. After that, you can't stop the format: most disks can perform a format by themselves, so scsiformat just issues the command to format the disk. Since there is no SCSI bus activity, the disk activity lamp will also not light up, and since the scsiformat program will just be waiting and not using any CPU time, you could easily get the impression the nothing is going on. The disk format can take a long time--depending on the disk, up to 90 minutes. Page 173, after table 10-5: Add the text If you're unlucky, fdisk will give you a completely different idea of the disk geometry from what scsiformat did. Possibly you can decide by examination which program is wrong, or maybe you can look at the dmesg output for a tie-breaker. In all cases I have seen, it has been fdisk that returned the incorrect information, and only when the disk did not have a valid partition table. For example, this happened with a disk formatted for BSD/OS: # scsiformat sd1 MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48 Mode data length: 35 Medium type: 0 Device Specific Parameter: 0 Block descriptor length: 8 Density code: 0 Number of blocks: 2051615 Reserved: 0 Block length: 512 PS: 1 Reserved: 0 Page code: 4 Page length: 22 Number of Cylinders: 1760 Number of Heads: 15 Starting Cylinder-Write Precompensation: 0 Starting Cylinder-Reduced Write Current: 0 Drive Step Rate: 0 Landing Zone Cylinder: 0 Reserved: 0 RPL: 0 Rotational Offset: 0 Reserved: 0 Medium Rotation Rate: 5400 Reserved: 0 Reserved: 0 # fdisk sd1 ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 0 is: sysid 255,(BBT (Bad Blocks Table)) start 1023744, size 2108293151 (1029440 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 768/ sector 15/ head 147; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 255 The data for partition 1 is: sysid 101,(Novell Netware 3.xx) start 1646292846, size 1814062195 (885772 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 356/ sector 50/ head 0; end: cyl 256/ sector 50/ head 114 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 0,(unused) start 0, size 0 (0 Meg), flag 61 beg: cyl 364/ sector 37/ head 98; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 0 The data for partition 3 is: Looking at the output from dmesg, we see: (aha0:1:0): "MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(aha0:1:0): Direct-Access 1001MB (2051615 512 byte sectors) sd1(aha0:1:0): with 1760 cyls, 15 heads, and an average 77 sectors/track In this case, then, you should use the parameters 1760 cylinders, 15 heads, and 77 sectors per track. What's less obvious here is the number of cylinders: fdisk doesn't have an opinion, and scsiformat and dmesg decided it has 2,051,615 sectors. Unfortunately, if you calculate the number according to the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, you'll come up with a different result: in this case 1760 x 15 x 77 = 2,032,800. How come? The disks report the total number of sectors, including spare tracks and such, but you can't use them all. The 2,032,800 is the correct number, and if you try to specify 2,051,615 to disklabel, it will spit out lots of messages about partitions which go beyond the end of the disk. Page 173, middle of page. Change the text after the "no magic" message to: The message no magic doesn't mean that fdisk is out of purple smoke. It refers to the fact that it didn't find the so-called magic number, which identifies the partition table. Since we don't have a partition table yet, this message isn't surprising. It's also completely harmless. Page 173, last example. Remove the first 22 lines, from ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* to, but not including the next occurrence of this line. Page 177, bulleted list: add the bullet * The total number of sectors in the partition. Calculate the number from the the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, even if you are using the whole disk: the output from dmesg or scsiformat is not correct here. Page 178, middle of page: after # disklabel -w -r /dev/sd1c cdc94161 insert When you do this, expect a kernel message (in high-intensity display) saying ``Cannot find disk label''. Since there isn't any label, it can't be found. This is another harmless chicken and egg problem. Page 182: In the section "Creating the file systems", add the first line to the example: # newfs /dev/rsd1h Further down the page, the last example should also read # newfs /dev/rsd1h 3. Other changes Page 41, after the heading "Installing from an MS-DOS partition". Add the text: It's also possible to install from a primary MS-DOS partition on the first disk. At the moment, it's not possible to install from extended partitions. Page 136, bottom: Add the text If you are changing the root password, be careful: it's easy enough to lock yourself out of the system if you mess things up, which could happen if, for example, you mistyped the password twice in the same way (don't laugh, it happens). If you're running X, open another window and use su to become root. If you're running in character mode, select another virtual terminal and log in as root there. Only when you're sure you can still access root should you log out. Page 152, just before the heading "The online manual". Add: Yes, you really need to run latex three times in order to build the cross-references. Page 199, the end of the multipage table is garbled. It should read: ze0 214 IBM/National Semiconductor PCMCIA ethernet controller zp0 214 3Com PCMCIA Etherlink III Page 205: Change the section titled "lpt0" to: lpt0 through lpt2 are the three printer ports you could conceivably have. Most people don't have three printers: you can comment out the definitions of the printers which you don't have. Page 208, bottom of page: swap the italicized headings "Adaptec 274X controller" and "Adaptec 1274X controller" Many thanks to Paul DuBois and Jerry Dunham for finding many of these bugs.

All this talk about Real Audio has got my interest into getting this box to play some of the Real Audio files, but my sound card configuration is a little bit screwy I think. Does it work on FreeBSD 2.1.5R? Does anyone have any configuration suggestions? The sound card is a Televideo 3D 16 bit PNP ISA card. It is Sound Blaster Pro and WIndows Sound System compatible.

So, I thank you for bearing with me. =) My machine's guts consist of a Cyrix 686 166MHz CPU, 32 MB RAM, two hard drives (one 1.2 GB Mode 4 as the master and one 1.6 GB Mode 4 as the slave, both IDE) and an 8X CD ROM drive. This machine is running Win95. I decided to take the plunge and install FreeBSD, so I copied my C drive (the 1.2) to a subdirectory of my D drive (the 1.6) and used the FDISK that came with Win95 to delete the old partition and create two new partitions, each 600 MB long. After some futzing, I was able to copy my backed up data from the D drive to the new C drive, and was able to get Win95 to come up without going too haywire. I then installed FreeBSD, with BootMGR so that I could have a dual boot between Win95 and FreeBSD. FreeBSD installed smoothly. I rebooted my machine and was pleased to see BootMGR greet me with "F1 dos, F2 FreeBSD, F3 disk2". FreeBSD came up great. However, Win95 does not like the FreeBSD partition. Utilities which seek out available disk drives (such as Norton Anti-Virus and Norton Navigator) hit the BSD partition and choke, aparrently throwing the system into an infinite loop trying to access the disk. I trimmed back these programs so that they no longer loaded on startup and am able to get Win95 to come up with a small one or two second extra delay. Win95 sets the BSD partition up as drive E:. Whenever the system tries to access this drive (when opening "My Computer", etc) I am once again greeted by the infinite loop. However, if I just stay in DOS, without loading Win95 I have only three non-removable drives listed: C: for my 600 MB DOS drive; D: for my 1.6 GB DOS drive; and E: for my CD-ROM drive. Only under Win95 is there a problem, everything else seems to work great. My question is (and thank you for bearing with me) is there any way I can prevent Win95 from stalling on this partition. Any of the below (plus anything else you can think of) are viable solutions: Somehow hiding the FreeBSD file system from Win95 Installing a driver to allow Win95 to read the FreeBSD file system Changing some setting to allow Win95 to ignore the FreeBSD file system Please, help me. I am already going to be in therapy for years over this, the last thing I need now is rejection. Thank you. Thank you a lot.

Suggestion: don't buy an Idiot's Guide unless you're an Idiot. My first suggestion is always _Essential System Administration_, AEleen Frisch, O'Reilly and Associates: ISBN 0-937175-80-3. Let's face it, now that you're running FreeBSD on your computer, you've been promoted to UNIX system administrator whether you wanted it or not. The Nemeth, Seebass, et al system administration book has been recommended to me by people I trust, I've never really needed anything beyond the O'Reilly book. If you're going to be administering a TCP/IP network as well, you'll need _TCP/IP Network Administration_, Craig Hunt, O'Reilly and Associates: ISBN 0-037175-82-X. For more detailed networking, their books on both _DNS and BIND_ and _NFS and NIS_ are invaluable. The first will certainly get you off the ground. >From a programming standpoint, see: _Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment_, W. Richard Stevens, Addison-Wesley: ISBN 0-201-56317-7. Mr. Stevens also penned an excellent book on UNIX Network Programming, and the seminal (currently) 3-volume series _TCP/IP Illustrated_, both also published by Addison-Wesley. Richard uses FreeBSD to illustrate advanced topics in TCP/IP development; quite a testimony to the reliability of the networking implementation, I'd say. ;^) If you wish to work on the kernel itself, you will want a copy of _The Design and Implmentation of the 4.4BSD Operating System_ by McKusick et al. It has just recently been published, I saw it on the shelf at my newest Barnes & Noble last Tuesday. That's about 1/40th of my "UNIX library." Feel free to write back if you have a specific topic you wish to learn about, I'll be glad to recommend (or even research) a book or three for you. ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Look at 'man ping'. Try something like: ping -n -i 300 some.host.some.where.in.ca which will ping the named host every 5 minutes. If your ISP gets clever and disallows ICMP Echo packets (i.e. ping requests) from resetting their timer, use rsh to run this command on *their* system; the output packets coming back to you will look like any interactive session and will fool their watchdog. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

I think the polling mode may give even better throughput than the interrupt mode under heavy load. The reason is that it takes very short time to check if some port on the cards needs serviceing. But it saves the interrupt overhead. Really the interrupt mode can only improve the answer times. The other problem with polling is that it runs at clock priority and disables other interrupts for this time so interrupts can help here. -SB From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 25 00:02:48 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id AAA11609 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 25 Nov 1996 00:02:48 -0800 (PST) Received: from silicon.csci.csusb.edu (silicon.csci.csusb.edu [139.182.38.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id AAA11604 for ; Mon, 25 Nov 1996 00:02:45 -0800 (PST) Received: by silicon.csci.csusb.edu (5.0/SMI-SVR4) id AA06631; Mon, 25 Nov 1996 00:20:58 +0800 From: jhoover@csci.csusb.edu (Jason A.

Not being content to leave well enough alone, I decided to cvsup -STABLE onto a 2.1.0-RELEASE box. The system is, basically, a P5/120 with a PCI Adaptec 2940 driving a couple of Seagate 12550N's. No IDE, but it dual-boots into Win'95 or FreeBSD. The system was performing flawlessly under 2.1.0-RELEASE, so I don't know what I was thinking by trying to perform an upgrade %-) Anyway, cvsup ran for a while and completed successfully. A quick 'make world' and I should have been "upgraded". No dice. 'make world' barfed on an error of some flavor or another and I decided I'd just come back to it later; I rebooted the box into Win'95 for a quick game of "Monster Truck Madness" (to which I confess an addiction). After a while I was sufficiently rejuvenated to delve into the `make` failure so I booted (or, rather, tried to boot) into FreeBSD. The kernel spits out its many probes and gets to "switching root device to sd0" (or some such) and hangs. Dead. Frozen. Sucking on the big banana. I tried booting with '-cv', checked the configuration. It looks OK. A lot more probe messages, but everything *looks* OK. Still hangs "switching to sd0". Finally, I booted up with '-s' to go single user. That works. Question is: Whazzup with that? Once I've gone single user, I can mount the /usr partition and I can un-read-only the root partition, but the box won't come up cleanly in multi-user. H E L P! Any ideas? ...sjs...

To get the long filenames back, you must encode using ISO9660 and Rock Ridge extensions. The Windows 95 encoding schemes are not currently supported.

Basically, the "cannot intuit" message means that when arp got the route for the destionation you're trying to set, it got a gateway route and not an interface route, meaning either that destination is not on a local subnet or your routing table is confused. If you want to learn more about routing sockets, I'd suggest "TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 2" by Richard Stevens. Chapters 18, 19 and 20 cover the routing table and routing sockets, and chapter 21 covers ARP.

Don't forget to create a basic rule for the ipfw option. The default is to deny all, ie disable all net traffic. There is an option in /etc/sysconfig which sets a more resonable default during the boot sequence.

(In the freebsd directory, packages, etc. -- all DOS > partition.) Here is the problem. The DOS filesystem munges the filenames, and pkg_add gets confused. Once you get the system installed: 1. Mount your DOS partition with: mount -t msdos /dev/wd? /mnt Replace ? with the device number that the DOS partition is on. It may already be mounted on /dos as well; you can just type 'mount' to check. 2. Copy the files from the DOS partition to the FreeBSD partition, restoring the original filename. The original would be something like pine-3.95.tgz, while in DOS it may be PINE-3.95. 3. Run 'pkg_add package.tgz' as root to add the package. > Do you have a straightforward suggestion for getting specific files via ftp > through my DOS client and then installing them on the FreeBSD partition?

Once you get lynx installed (through the package) you can view this documentation.

And where I can find , i.e libXext.so.6.1 ? It means your libraries are a bit older than the system that the system it was compiled on, in this case a XFree86 3.2 system I would guess.

So far, I can use SAMBA to share freebsd filespace and the office printer and CERN HTTPD proxying for internet access. What I would like to do now is use our syquest drive (parallel interface) to enable backups of data from the pcs. Using SAMBA I can read all of the files, so I was wanting to use tar and/or gzip to write these files to the syquest drive using cron or some such. Using this particular device, the printer daisy chains on the back of it, so if at all possible i would like to be able to still use the printer while i am using the syquest.

I have a PS2 mouse that worked just fine before. I understand what's involved in getting it to work... I know how to include psm0 in the kernel (and exclude the other choice). I know how to MAKEDEV psm0 in /dev. I know how to select that mouse during the install (and I did all these things). I know how to run /stand/sysinstall and configure X86... I chose /dev/psm0, I chose "use META characters" (so i could emulate a 3 button mouse). Again I had this all working before. Other facts. I had FreeBSD running just fine on a tiny little IDE drive, but ever since I installed a fast/wide, new, improved, huge SCSI disk, and 4X SCSI CD-ROM, I've been having lots of problems. I managed to resolve all of them, *except* that I can no longer run X86Windows (forgive me I don't remember what you call it). Before the SCSI stuff I had it running, and I configured both twm and fvwm to work. I set things in the BIOS both on and off. I tried NumLock both ways (after reading the FAQ). I turned off IDE in the BIOS. I have installed all this at least 20 times (due to HW configuring problems). I don't know where to turn next. Please Help!

Basically I had heard (and read the FAQ) about booting FreeBSD from the NT Boot menu but couldn't get it to work, so I installed OSBS (2.0 beta 8) from the BSD CD. Now when I boot I get OSBS to select BSD or NT/DOS, then use the NT menu to select NT or DOS. I guess its a bit messy but it works.

FreeBSD cannot read NTFS, I don't know if there are plans to teach it to (my guess is that fixing msdosfs is a higher priority). For information on using the NT boot loader to boot FreeBSD, see http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ76.html#76 I got there via the "documentation" link on the main page, which leads to a lot of other useful stuff too.

Twice in the last few days, my system has locked up to the point where I had to press the reset button. Both times it has happened when I switched vtys. I just recently compiled support for and created more vtys, going from 4 to 16. Might that have something to do with it? After reading that bounce buffers were for ISA SCSI host adapters, I disabled them, as my SCSI card is PCI. This would mean that the vty-switching thing is a red herring, I guess. Any ideas? TIA.

Access control on X with MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am able to sign on as root on Xfree86, which I have configured to use MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 access control. X on my system is configured to use virtual console #4. However when I attempt to sign on using another valid user ID, X rejects the attempt, and writes the following messages in $HOME/.xsession-errors: X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown) Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to server Error: Can't open display: :0 In short, the MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 access control only allows in 'root'. Can more that 1 user sign on to the same display using MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 access control if it has already been generated for root?? I've done some research, which seems to indicate that xdm does generate the unique magic cookie code, however after attempting to sign on as a non root user, the $HOME/.Xauthority file has a zero size, which means that the unique code was not generated. My xdm-config file has the following resource specifications: DisplayManager._0.authorize: true DisplayManager*authorize: false My feeling is that more than 1 user should be allowed, especially if the machine is to be shared. Can anyone supply some answers or advice??

I *CERTAINLY* hope you meant to say 128 megabytes and not 128k.

I'm dead .." This is usually indicitive of a few things: 1. A software bug. Try to be less aggressive about removing uninstalled devices. This is a SNAP after all, it's not perfect. (You might consider the 2.2-ALPHA instead of the SNAP, the ALPHA is newer and probably more stable, relatively) 2. Bad memory or processor cache. Unlikely if it dies in the same place every time. > I have the following Hardware set-up : > > TMC Motherboard : Pentium 166, 128K EDO RAM, 512K cache. > (tried 64K, 256K Cache) > AHA - 2940 AU PCI SCSI Controller > Soundblaster AWE PnP,(ISA) (Tried removing this). > Trident 9000 VGA card.(ISA) > Harddrive Micropolis 1991AV 9.1 GB > Dos installed on a 1GByte partition.

We're having some odd problems with popper on the university Suns which incline me to lean away from it (no pun intended). poppassd allows password changes from the client (ie Eudora) and can be added to any pop daemon.

I do seem to be spamming this list lately. For that I apologize. This question, however, is quite legit. Remember those two lockups I had? Well, one of them seems to have damaged something relating to my kernel sources. After I config a kernel and cd to the build directory, and type make, I get this message: ./genassym: permission denied So naturally I tried making it user-executable (all this as root of course) but it didn't work. I got a bunch of other errors that I'm not going to bother to transcribe because I assume the best solution to this is to reinstall the relevant files. So my question is bipartite: 1) Which files do I need to replace? I have a pretty good connection to the net so err on the side of broadness here. 2) What is the best way to effect this replacement? Please don't just say use cvsup because I looked at the man page for it and it's rather opaque. Assume I'm stupid here because this is something I can't afford to screw up.

When you ftp the X32*.tgz files you need, also get preinst.sh and postinst.sh. Cd to /usr/X11R6, run preinst.sh, then extract each of the .tgz files you need. Run postinst.sh to clean up. Now run XF86Setup, the cool new graphical setup utility in 3.2. Works like a charm, as long as you actually know what kind of VGA card you've got.

My current provider, however, does not provide either routing or bridging. The XLT has a 'single user IP gateway' mode which seems to be exactly what I need. In this mode, the XLT netotiates the PPP link and obtains IP addresses for 'itself', the gateway, etc. All of that appears to be working just fine. In order for the workstation to get the IP address, it needs to send a BOOTP request to the XLT. I have searched everywhere on the CDs, and the closest I get is netboot.com. Correct me if I'm wrong, but netboot won't do it...I'm not willing to reboot the system every time I dial out for an internet connection, especially if I have to drop to DOS to do so. Seems like a huge waste of time and effort. Has anyone out there successfully used this single user mode of the XLT, and if so, what and how did you have to hack to get it working? Since I didn't mention it, this is with 2.1.5-RELEASE. Thanks very much, -- Paul F.

Hope thats enough information and a crystal ball is not > needed. Well honestly I've always considered that mount(8) was reserved to root. The man page doesn't state state it is, but that seems more or less implicit. I may br wrong. On the other hand the man page for mountd(8) states that for non-root mount requests to be accepted, it has to be started with the -n option. On my version of FreeBSD (2.1-stable), the -mapall options seems to have different semantics, like -mapall=user:group. I'm not sure what you expect that /etc/exports file to do with -mapall=ip-address.

I am kind of toying with freebsd to evaluate it and pick between it and Linux to install on 34 other machines, so far, freebsd is ahead. I guess limiting mounting power to root keeps things under control and avoids opening that major security window you mentioned.

I am back to you with difficulties with my machine.... I have built a fbsd 2.1.5 machine for hooking up to a lan with a gateway to the Inet. The machine is an AMD 133, with 20meg rem, a generic s3 video card, and an smc 8432bt pci ethernet card. I am connected to the lan on coax in to a tigerhub. The gate is a trailblazer backed by csu/dsu in to a t1. Enough of this... the problem is that I can not get a reliable ping to the gateway... I have everything setup fine with the kernel, best as I can tell, for the card. I am on the inet 204.186.107.0 I have the addresss .6, the gateway is .254 The arp information is all there, however when I ping to the gateway or any other machine on the network I get 90% loss on the ping... normally it takes 19 for the first response, then I don't see anything until I get to ping #39 or more... I don't think it is the cable, i have removed the segment of cable I am on, and went to a t tap that another machine... (running nt351) works from and has no trouble. I don't know what else to try at this point... I think it is either protocol troubles, cable troubles, or my card is in trouble.

This will most likely fail horribly. You must have a bootable partition below 500mb or so. I assume that FreeBSD is after the 1.5G partition, so it's effectively masked from the BIOS.

To be honest, it's better with the separate files. If the download dies, then you don't have to fetch the whole thing over again. You can get the ftp server to bundle stuff together by putting an extension on it: get bin.tar perhaps get bin.zip will work too.

If in the kernel configuration file you have options KTRACE options DDB when the kernel panics it will go into kdbg mode, waiting for input, and thus will not reboot.

Probably the partition you are trying to mount is bigger than 1gb or it has cluster of 32kb. I suggest you to NOT USE such partition, you can trash a lot of your filesystem. Avoid to mount it, and if it is set in the /etc/fstab remove the entry or use the noauto setting. If you want to use msdos fs with FreeBSD you must use partition that use clusters of 16kb or less. I have no problems at all with those, while I have trashed a lot of times my Hd using dos partition with clusters of 32kb :-) Regards... +-------------------------------------+--------------------+ | Internet: gmarco@masternet.it | ,,, | | Internet: gmarco@fi.nettuno.it | (o o) | | http://www2.masternet.it/~gmarco | ---oo0-(_)-0oo--- | | http://www2.masternet.it/ | Gianmarco | +-------------------------------------+--------------------+ From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 27 06:07:40 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id GAA21243 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 27 Nov 1996 06:07:40 -0800 (PST) Received: from cs.iastate.edu (cs.iastate.edu [129.186.3.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id GAA21237 for ; Wed, 27 Nov 1996 06:07:38 -0800 (PST) Received: from popeye.cs.iastate.edu (popeye.cs.iastate.edu [129.186.3.4]) by cs.iastate.edu (8.7.4/8.7.1) with ESMTP id IAA01620 for ; Wed, 27 Nov 1996 08:07:36 -0600 (CST) Received: from localhost (ghelmer@localhost) by popeye.cs.iastate.edu (8.7.4/8.7.1) with SMTP id IAA05683 for ; Wed, 27 Nov 1996 08:07:35 -0600 (CST) X-Authentication-Warning: popeye.cs.iastate.edu: ghelmer owned process doing -bs Date: Wed, 27 Nov 1996 08:07:34 -0600 (CST) From: Guy Helmer To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Anyone ported aspirin/migraines 6?

It's a segmentation violation. If it happens here, as Doug says, it's probably an indication of hardware problems. A typical culprit is cache; try disabling cache from BIOS and see if it still happens (it'll be *really* slow, but at least you can figure out if you're looking in the right place). Another possibility we saw recently was a defective SCSI controller (in this case, NCR, but I don't think that's relevant). > PD Where I can search for an explanation of the signals and errors codes ? The signals are defined in /usr/include/sys/signal.h, and the errors are in /usr/include/errno.h. In each case, the description is really intended for people who already understand the system. If you need more explanations, a good book on programming is probably your best bet. There aren't many non-programming books which explain them. I go into some detail about signals in "Porting UNIX Software", but I don't mention error numbers much.

First, it seems you've got 2.1.5 and not 2.1 (which is logical if you got the CD's lately). In that case, you don't need atapi.flp, boot.flp should be fine. However, you need to use the rawrite program (it's in the \tools directory on the CD) to create the bootable floppy, not the DOS/Win95 copy command. If you're still having trouble with it, try using rawrite under DOS (not Win95). While it works under Win95 for me, there are reports of it breaking under Win95. > > Thanks, Steve Blair > Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 27 07:30:22 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id HAA24703 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 27 Nov 1996 07:30:22 -0800 (PST) Received: from diablo.ppp.de (diablo.ppp.de [193.141.101.34]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id HAA24679 for ; Wed, 27 Nov 1996 07:30:16 -0800 (PST) From: Greg Lehey Received: from freebie.lemis.de by diablo.ppp.de with smtp (Smail3.1.28.1 #1) id m0vSlvI-000QrsC; Wed, 27 Nov 96 16:29 MET Received: (grog@localhost) by freebie.lemis.de (8.8.3/8.6.12) id QAA02479; Wed, 27 Nov 1996 16:17:01 +0100 (MET) Organisation: LEMIS, Schellnhausen 2, 36325 Feldatal, Germany Phone: +49-6637-919123 Fax: +49-6637-919122 Message-Id: <199611271517.QAA02479@freebie.lemis.de> Subject: Re: local delivery problems with exim In-Reply-To: from Philip Crewdson at "Nov 26, 96 10:04:43 pm" To: philip@state51.co.uk (Philip Crewdson) Date: Wed, 27 Nov 1996 16:17:01 +0100 (MET) Cc: questions@FreeBSD.org X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL28 (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 Philip Crewdson writes: > Hi, > > I'm trying to run exim 1.58, which I got from the Cambridge source.

I don't know exim, but the problem looks familiar: you need to set your program setuid root: # chown root exim # chown 4755 exim The '4' is the suid bit.

No. There is no atapi.flp any more--see my weekly posting to this group. I'm curious, though, what you used instead :-) Use floppies/boot.flp.

There's not too much to experiment with. When you boot up single user (with the -s flag to the Boot: prompt), the system ignores what you put in /etc/passwd and asks you what (suggesting sh, a good idea).

If your FBSD box is acting as a router you might want routetd running, but I suspect not. If you have only one interface on the box, then I'd use static routes. If you have only one route out of the subnet that the FBSD box is on then absolutely do a static route. > I have winNT workstations too on same T1 ,How can I link thase to my > FreeBSD server.

The DOS partition was only 250mb in the same node /dev/sd0s5, there was no problem at all to mounting it in /dos.

After I booted, I wanted to do some post installation steps. I made the /usr/ports directory and copied over the links from the second cdrom. The problem with installing packages is that one cdrom has the binaries and the other cd-rom contains make files. When I select packages in the post installation, the /stand/sysinstall program will attempt to install programs even if the wrong cd-rom is in. For example, I select to install "lynx" and "netscape". Well, lynx gets installed just fine, but netscape does not because it is on the second cdrom in the ports subdirectory. This is reall annoying. How am I to know which packages is on which cd without manually listing the files on the cdroms? Also, I could get XFree86 to compile correctly. It would have been really great if the binaries were pre-compiled. But, apparently they were not. Bummer. I am really impressed with the concepts behind the structure of FreeBSD, but I don't want to have an operating system where the installation program doesn't really work that well -- and I would like XFree86 to be pre-compiled. I also was able to get netscape installed by putting in the second cd and going to ports/www/netscape2 and typing in "make". Real easy. I would just like to be able to not have to do it manually for ever single program.

You can install the kernel debugger. Then it will go into the debugger instead of rebooting.

Sure. Create a directory /var/crash and ensure you have something like this in your /etc/sysconfig: # Set to the name of the device for kernel crashdumps, or `off' to # disable any statically configured dumpdev, or NO for no change. # The device should normally be one of the swap devices specified # in /etc/fstab. dumpdev=/dev/wd0s1b # Set to YES if you want kernel crashdumps to be saved for debugging savecore=YES You don't need to reboot after making the changes.

Is this correct? Sort of. A runtime library can also be statically linked. See below. You're probably thinking of runtime binding, which isn't quite the same thing. And UNIX doesn't use the term DLL. > How can you distinguish between static libraries and shared libraries > on the FreeBSD library tree? A static library is a library which is used by the linker to build a statically linked executable. It's not needed at run time at all--you can delete it and the system will still run fine, but you won't be able to link any more programs which need that particular library. Static executables have the advantage that old programs will still run after a system upgrade. You can send them to other people running the same system, and they should work there too. In addition, they start up rather faster than dynamically linked executables, since the linking has already been done. They have the disadvantage that they can be much bigger than dynamically linked executables. A dynamic library is a library which is used by an executable at run time to resolve undefined symbols. The linker needs to know about it, but it doesn't need to have it present at the time it does the linking. The advantages and disadvantages of dynamically linked executables are the opposite of those of statically linked executables. In particular, you may need multiple versions of a specific library to cater for executables on your machine. By convention, static library names start with lib and end in .a (they're an 'ar' archive). Dynamic libraries end in .so followed by the version number. You'll also find profiling libraries (_p.a) and position independent libraries (_pic.a). For the C library, we thus have: libc.a is a static library. libc.so.2.0 is a dynamic library libc_p.a is a profiling static library libc_pic.a is a static library with position-independent code Remember, though, that these are just conventions. The only real way to tell what a file is for sure is to use the program 'file': > === grog@freebie (/dev/ttyp4) ~ 5 -> file /usr/lib/libc* > /usr/lib/libc.a: current ar archive random library > /usr/lib/libc.so.2.0: FreeBSD/i386 demand paged shared library not stripped > /usr/lib/libc.so.2.2: FreeBSD/i386 demand paged shared library not stripped > /usr/lib/libc.so.3.0: FreeBSD/i386 demand paged shared library not stripped > /usr/lib/libc_p.a: current ar archive random library > /usr/lib/libc_pic.a: current ar archive random library Greg From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 27 09:25:46 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id JAA00522 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 27 Nov 1996 09:25:46 -0800 (PST) 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 JAA00517 for ; Wed, 27 Nov 1996 09:25:44 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.3/8.6.12) with SMTP id JAA05126; Wed, 27 Nov 1996 09:27:52 -0800 (PST) Date: Wed, 27 Nov 1996 09:27:52 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: gw cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: bootmanager goes into a loop In-Reply-To: <9611270012.D22JF@cyber-coupon.com> 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 Wed, 27 Nov 1996, gw wrote: > Got freebsd reinstalled. over existing hosed username and password.

Note that the packages and ports are independent of one another. Perhaps some definitions are in order: package: A precompiled, compressed file containing the program and supporting files, basically ready-to-run. To install a package, type pkg_add /path/to/package.tgz as root. port: A bundle of files containing patches and compilation information to build a program from it's distribution archive. To make a port, go into it's directory and type 'make'. the appropriate file will be pulled from /usr/ports/distfiles, or if it isn't there, it will attempt to fetch the file from the master site. Then the program is configured, patched, and built; type 'make install' as root to install the program. > When I select packages in the post installation, the /stand/sysinstall > program will attempt to install programs even if the wrong cd-rom is in. > For example, I select to install "lynx" and "netscape".

This shouldn't happen. /usr/ports/distfiles should point to /ports/disfiles on CDROM 2. Don't bother copying over the packages since they're so huge; just 'pkg_add' them directly off the CDROM. > This is reall annoying. How am I to know which packages is on which cd > without manually listing the files on the cdroms? Unfortunately, that's where the trick is. Some programs don't allow for distribution on the FreeBSD CDROMs. In those cases, there won't be a package, but there may be a port with or without a corresponding distfile. You'll know if you don't have it if it says '/some/file/ doesn't appear to exist on this system. Fetching from ftp://xx.yy.zz/qq/'. There is an INDEX file in the ports directory you can search if you're looking for a specific program. For instance, i wanted to know what irc-related things there are in ports, so I ran grep "irc" INDEX that will return several lines, one being: ircii-2.9|/usr/ports/net/ircII|/usr/local|ircII, the 'Internet Relay Chat' Client, Version 2.9|/usr/ports/net/ircII/pkg/DESCR|torstenb@FreeBSD.ORG|net|| The second field contains the location of the port, in this case in /ports/net/ircII. Packages aren't indexed, but it's location should correspond to the same directory in the /packages heirarchy, which in this case it does: ircii-2.8.16b.tgz@ > Also, I could get XFree86 to compile correctly. It would have been really > great if the binaries were pre-compiled. But, apparently they were not. > Bummer. you're mistaken: a precompiled X _is_ included. You should have seen a choice for it when you installed the system. It's in /XF86312 on CDROM 1. You can install this yourself either by re-running install and mounting your filesystems and not newfsing them, then using 'custom' to just install X, or expand the archives manually by going into /usr/X11R6 (make it if it doesn't exist) and expanding the parts you want: tar xzf /cdrom/XF86312/X312Ma64.tgz would expand the mach64 X server. Run 'xf86config' when you're done to configure X. > I am really impressed with the concepts behind the structure of FreeBSD, > but I don't want to have an operating system where the installation program > doesn't really work that well -- and I would like XFree86 to be pre-compiled.

Netscape is an exception since all the port does is ftp://ftp.netscape.com and fetch the archive and extract it. everything else is rather easy (_especially_ packages)! You can pick up teh omitted packages on ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/packages-2.1.5, by the way. Hope this helps.

Packages are precompiled and are on the first disk. Ports are just make files and patches to sources or binaries that are downloaded over the net. Some of the software (like lynx) can be installed both ways, while other (like Netscape) cannot be distributed as packages due to licensing consideration. > > Also, I could get XFree86 to compile correctly.

There are two answers to this: 1. New versions are coming, and by what I understand have some of the bugs in the installation program fixed. 2. If you don't like something - change it. This software is written by volunteers, and most of the time they fix what *they* believe is broken. If you find something not to your taste, you're welcome to try and improve on it. > > I also was able to get netscape installed by putting in the second cd and > going to ports/www/netscape2 and typing in "make".

The package system has its bugs, yes. But I've found the ports collection to work pretty well.

Not being content to leave well enough alone, I decided to cvsup -STABLE onto a 2.1.0-RELEASE box. The system is, basically, a P5/120 with a PCI Adaptec 2940 driving a couple of Seagate 12550N's. No IDE, but it dual-boots into Win'95 or FreeBSD. The system was performing flawlessly under 2.1.0-RELEASE, so I don't know what I was thinking by trying to perform an upgrade %-) Anyway, cvsup ran for a while and completed successfully. A quick 'make world' and I should have been "upgraded". No dice. 'make world' barfed on an error of some flavor or another and I decided I'd just come back to it later; I rebooted the box into Win'95 for a quick game of "Monster Truck Madness" (to which I confess an addiction). After a while I was sufficiently rejuvenated to delve into the `make` failure so I booted (or, rather, tried to boot) into FreeBSD. The kernel spits out its many probes and gets to "switching root device to sd0" (or some such) and hangs. Dead. Frozen. Sucking on the big banana. I tried booting with '-cv', checked the configuration. It looks OK. A lot more probe messages, but everything *looks* OK. Still hangs "switching to sd0". Finally, I booted up with '-s' to go single user. That works. Question is: Whazzup with that? Once I've gone single user, I can mount the /usr partition and I can un-read-only the root partition, but the box won't come up cleanly in multi-user. H E L P! Any ideas? ....sjs...

I need to do similarly for perl. According to http://www.fastcgi.com/kit/doc/fcgi-perl.htm, I've got two= options: * use the sfio library (recommended), or * Open Market's proprietary stdio replacement. I would like to follow the first option. So I've fetched sfio-oct95.tar.gz from nearby, and placed the contents in a temporary location. I've read the READMEs and [mM]akefile. I inserted iffe into my path, and tried make. What I got back was an error from iffe, complaining about a bad substitution. I edited makefile to ensure iffe was run with ksh (having had earlier problems with csh that ksh remedied), and it got a bit further.

I just want to clarify something. Okay, I have FreeBSD 2.1.5 cdrom. I choose the option to link the ports onto /usr/ports from the second cdrom. When I get to the packages section, it gives you a list of programs Under "www" you can install "lynx" for example, and/or "netscape2". "lynx" is on the first cdrom and gets installed just fine. "netscape" is on the second cdrom under the "ports" directory. It needs to be downloaded because the binary files are not the cdrom. 1. This is what happens to me. Lynx gets installed just fine. Netscape gets an error saying it is not on the disk. Then it moves onto the next package without ever trying to ftp to download the files. It also nevers asks for the second cdrom. 2. Is this what should be happening? Lynx should get installed just fine. The the program should says nestcape is not installed, and that it needs to download the files. Then it should download the files and install them. At some point it may ask for the second cdrom again. Or what is the correct procedure? I am having problems getting /stand/sysinstall to download and install the ports.

I figure ifconfig spits up at me cause I don't have the syntax righ for the point to point right. Can someone show me how to do this? Can this be done by adding static routes in a particular order.

Quick checklist (which I just wrote last message...): 1) BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC. IT __WILL__ BE HOSED!!! 2) Boot the new floppy. Select the 'update' option. Follow the prompts. Make sure you MOUNT your filesystems and not NEWFS them. Select the same distributions you did originally and any you wish to add. 3) Hit 'commit'. Take note of the modified files. 4) WHen you're dumped to a shell prompt: . Copy services back from your backup /etc. It's three lines long now :( . Edit sysconfig and re-config from scratch using your old one as a guide. It's changed a bunch this time around and it's too much pain to hack in the new changes. . Migrate any changes you made to rc.local. 5) Reboot, recompile & reinstall your kernel, reboot again, and enjoy.

From my understanding of things, the Voxware driver as done by Hannu still belongs to him and the only thing which changed was the name, since "Voxware" is actually a trademark of another corporation which makes voice teleconferencing software. Of course, when they became the Open Sound Source, much more was done to make the driver portable to other operating systems such as SCO and HP/UX, so it's probably safe to say that OSS/Lite bears little resemblance to the original Voxware at this stage.

Date: Wed, 27 Nov 1996 22:47:51 -0500 From: "Brian J. McGovern" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I was just tinkering around with 2.2-ALPHA, and noticed that some startup information had been shifted from /etc/rc.local into individual shells in /usr/local/etc/rc.d (and others, for X11 for instance). Now, although I think this is a neat idea. I'm not real keen on the location of the files.... As I run several FreeBSD boxes, I tend to keep one as a "server", and then a series of clients. The "server" machine is the one with the big disk, and maintains most of the binaries (ie - /usr/local/bin). The server also runs most of the services - mail, the web server, anonymous ftp, the databases, etc. The "client" machines usually only run a small subset of these (most notably removed are the Web servers, Samba, FTP, and a few others). Unfortunately, when I loaded 2.2-ALPHA on my first workstation, mounted /usr/local, /usr/src, /usr/ports, and /usr/X11 from the server, suddenly a copy of my web server was running. It took me awhile to figure out that that is where Apache got started from by default. Now, I'm a little hesitant to conform to this "new standard", as, if I migrate from using /etc/rc.local to the rc.* directories, these directories will now be common across all machines (which is bad). Wouldn't it make more sense to stick it under /etc somplace, rather than in /usr/local/etc (which, I know, has always been a rather stupid name for a directory you're most likely going to export?), so its not a "common place". Either that, or change the standard path for user installed binaries to be something other than /usr/local (perhaps /usr/export - more like the Sun naming scheme). In any event, just my two cents worth. I'm surprised more people haven't commented. -Brian From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 27 19:50:43 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id TAA03279 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 27 Nov 1996 19:50:43 -0800 (PST) Received: from ms1.hinet.net (donny@ms1.hinet.net [168.95.4.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id TAA03272 for ; Wed, 27 Nov 1996 19:50:40 -0800 (PST) Received: (from donny@localhost) by ms1.hinet.net (8.8.3/8.8.3) id LAA05269; Thu, 28 Nov 1996 11:47:33 +0800 (CST) Message-Id: <199611280347.LAA05269@ms1.hinet.net> From: donny@ms1.hinet.net (Donny Lee) To: Gianmarco Giovannelli Cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: mountmsdosfs() warning?

Yes, I found 2 ways to get the problem away. 1) Make the DOS partitiob smaller. 2) Keep the DOS partition as it is now (in my case, 280mb) and use true OS/2 or DOS fdisk and format to re-partition and format to go over again to the DOS partition, you don't even have to change the size. I tried these 2 ways, all work, the BSD warning disppears. // Donny From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 27 23:04:06 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id XAA09716 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 27 Nov 1996 23:04:06 -0800 (PST) Received: from onyx.southwind.net (root@onyx.southwind.net [204.95.83.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id XAA09711 for ; Wed, 27 Nov 1996 23:04:04 -0800 (PST) Received: from babylon.southwind.net (aurora@ict13.southwind.net [204.95.83.113]) by onyx.southwind.net (8.8.2/8.8.3) with SMTP id BAA01208 for ; Thu, 28 Nov 1996 01:09:14 -0600 (CST) Message-ID: <329D3AC4.11E9@southwind.net> Date: Thu, 28 Nov 1996 01:09:56 -0600 From: Mohammad K Islam Reply-To: sohel@southwind.net Organization: N/A X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0Gold (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Freebsd Post Installation problem!!

But as i was running it for last few days i have noticed that the hard drive light(H.D.D Light) is always on whenever i am on the freebsd slice. I cant seem to figure out the reason for it. I am sharing a 1.06 gig drive between win95 and freebsd. I have put the freebsd slice within the first 1024cylindres as instructed by the installtion companion book that came with the CD from Walnut creek CDROm. Last night when i was running freebsd my pc suddenly rebooted itself. After that i dont get the login prompt anymore but instead i get just a root(#) prompt.Also during bootup just after probing for devices.. it tells me to run fsck and then give me the # prompt. I would really appreciate any enlightenment on this if possible. I really would like to get it solved and get freebsd up and running . Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Please except my advance thanks for all your suggestions/help.

I first downloaded an boot image disk, then used it to boot up to the installation manu. It was FTP mode installation that downloads from a mirror site in Australia. It is a local site nearest to me because I am in Sydney, not in Korea. I tried many times and it always hung up after a while, for example after 5mb data transferring or 10mb, or more or less. When I tried to quit, it asked if I really want to discard the installation process. Once I left the computer connection overnight, but it stayed at the same point with no change. Could you give me some suggestions.

I do not know which version I was installing because I was entirely led through by the installation disk image from which I booted up and started my installing process. 2. The installing method was FTP transfer mode to download from a local mirror site located in the University of Sydney (because I live in Sydney). 3. I did not try ALT-F2. I am going to try the installation again tonight and leave the process on overnight, and then check the result tommorow morning, if hangs again I shall forward it to you immediately. Finally thank you very much for you help.

I absolutely second that. In my opinion, /usr/local should remain under the total control of the local sysadmin, the standard uncustomized version of the O/S should not touch it. On my site, /usr/local is also shared by machines so it would be a real pain. I like the way it is done by HP-UX 10.*, keeping scripts in /sbin/*.d directories and configuration files sourced by those scripts in /etc/rc.config.d. I know that this might look a bit too SystemV-ish for people here, but it's certainly easy to manage across upgrades. At the very least, I agree with Brian that startup files should remain in the / filesystem.

This still sounds like link problems. FTP doesn't put up with bad lines very well, and it can relatively easily time out on large transfers. You have a number of options: 1. Buy the CD-ROM (info@cdrom.com). That will save you lots of trouble, and it includes far more stuff than you would ever be able to download, even if your link is good and fast. 2. Download the files individually, and then do a local install. You'll probably still get the ftp hangs, since I don't think they have anything to do with the installation process, but you can restart ftp (with the 'reget' command, which continues on a file where it aborted) and continue.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Dear Sirs/Madams, I have tried to install FreeBSD softwares(Release 2.1.6) via ftp. However, it sounds that the software does not support my networking card because the networking card has not been detected( ed0, ed1 not found). I have tried to change to IRQ as well as Port address but it still does not work. The card is a NIC-2006/R Ethernet adapter 32 bits. The specifications of the card are as follows: - Network Standard : IEEE802.3 10 BASE-2, and 10 BASE-T - Network Data Transfer Rate : 10 Mbps - Hardware : PCI Local bus-Compliant PC. - Hardware Interupths : Mapping to BIOS IRQ Setup(Range: 0-15 INTA#) - Base I/O Address : Automatically decided by Configuration Space (Range:0000-FFFFH). -Autosensing Confi. : IRQ, I/O Address, Media Features -------- Software Compatible with NE2000 Driver Support Boot Rom func. for PCI bus. Support Full-Duplex Ethernet func. to double channel bandwidth Provides auto-detect Capability between 10Base-T(RJ45) and 10 Base-2(BNC) Connector. The card works excellent with Microsoft windows(3.11,95,NT) ,and being used by IRQ 11 and I/O address 1000-101F under Win95. So could you please tell me how to set up the network configuration for this card on FreeBSD or the FreeBSD does support this card or not? I look forward to hearing from you.

The thing is that I am unable to do things like PROPERTIES and SAVE_WORKSPACE 'cos the system tells me that I don't have the programs props and owplaces, where I can find these programs for FreeBSD? I have installed the XFree86 taking the binaries from ftp.fi.FreeBSD.org /pub/OS/4.3bsd/FreeBSD/XFree86 and uncompressing it and making everything like linking to X the SVGA server etc., I did the same way the documentation told me to extract and install the binaries, I mean I followed all the instructions I found on the documentation file. Then after installing the X server I installed the olvwm window manager getting it from packages distribution (ftp.fi.freebsd.org/pub/OS/4.3bsd.FreeBSD/ 2.1.6-RELEASE/packages) and I used the menue program /stand/sysinstall/ , and the installation has gone fine. OF course I installed all the xview libraries and clients, the packages xview-clients-3.2.1.tgz xview-config-3.2.1.tgz xview-lib-3.2.1.tgz THe only thing is that I can't configure to save the workspace or look at the properties 'cos seems like that in the binary distribution there aren't these 2 programs props and owplaces, so what I have to do? where I can find them? I would like to make the 2 things (props, owplaces) work on my olvwm. In the man pages I found out also informations about the script openwin, but I have not find it after installation so I did it myself as well as I didn't find iconedit even if there is a reference to it in the xview man page. Seems like the binary distribution is incomplete. now an other question. OFTEN when I run a X client I have this message: ld.so: warning: /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.0: minor version 0 older than expected 1, using it anyway. how come this happen?? I have the new release binaries 1.2.6-RELEASE and libs too I found in the same distribution, so why I have this warning message? well there is a thing to say. The XFree86 binaries I found were common to 2.1.* distributions and not specific for 2.1.6 release, might this one to be the reason of the warning message ?? Anyway I think FreeBsd to be better than Linux, I like more FreeBSD. A last question... I have applications such as xsysinfo xsysstats , but if I run the xman I can't find them there also with search option, while they are in normal man pages from vt100 terminal, how come? How come I Can't find the manual pages with the xman program? I hope you can help me. thanks a lot!! Riccardo from Italy.

This doesn't surprise me too much. msdosfs is currently severely broken; there's a discussion in freebsd-hackers about whether we shouldn't remove it altogether until it's fixed. The trouble is, the person who's volunteered to fix it is overloaded with other work, and the current version is so flaky that it can endanger not just your MS-DOS partition, but your FreeBSD partitions as well. I suspect that when you expanded your partition, some partition information wasn't changed correctly (or the way msdosfs expects). This doesn't seem to worry MS-DOS, but it causes problems for msdosfs. If you still want to use msdosfs, probably your best bet is to back up the whole MS-DOS partition, delete it, recreate the partition from scratch, and restore the data. Sorry.

Sorry to have to be so heavy-handed about this, but if people abuse this draft, it will be more difficult for me to post review drafts in future. On a more positive note, we're working on putting a correct version of the documentation in the online handbook. It's taking a while (I'm not doing it myself), but I hope that the person doing it will find time over Thanksgiving.

See the ispell(1) manual. Thank you very much for your advice. First, this gives me hope that I will be able to make it work with the Russian dictionary. BTW, do you know if there is a German dictionary around? However, in a book about UNIX I read that there are very simple spell checkers that are not interactive, but just read text and make a list of words that were not found. I would prefer such.

Nope, not sure at all. I remember investigating to see if there was a newer version out there a few weeks ago and finding out that Voxware was no longer supporting the driver. The OSS name was what I couldn't remember.

I'm sorry I was so fuzzy on this, but no one answered him and I couldn't remember quite what it was all about. Now it clicks. By the way. Is there a good, succinct explanation of how the various audio devices in /dev are supposed to be used? I've looked though the handbook, FAQs, and searched the Web, but to no avail. In particular, there are some strangenesses involving the Voxware driver, like that RealAudio says it uses the Voxware driver. When you try to run RA, it says "audio device in use". Took me a while to realize that it was talking about /dev/audio, which was in use, all right, but by Voxware! I killed auserver and RA worked just fine. I discoverd that /dev/au plays .au files. But /dev/midi0 does not play midi files. Playmidi, I believe, claims to use the Voxware driver, but only works in FM mode in reality. What gives? -Jim Durham dani -Jim Durham James C.

So I wrote to Mr roberto who tells me to reboot like single users with (-s) in the boot command, to mount read_write / with "mount -u /" and toi make the needed devices in /dev with "sh MAKEDEV wd1s1" and to reboot with "sync;sync;sync;reboot" I do that, but the probleme was the same when the host reboot. the needed devices wd1s1b and wd1s1e dosen't be created !!! so I try to do something: I replace in the file /etc/fstab wd1s1b by wd1b and wd1s1e by wd1e (wd1b and wd1e exists in /dev) and I reboot, this time it works. But i don't think it's a good and a stable way. A day after I heve another idea: Go to /dev and do "sh MAKEDEV wd1s1e" after this command, I found wd1s1a wd1s1b wd1s1c wd1s1d wd1s1f .... in the /dev directory, so I edit /etc/fstab and i change it like it was before and I reboot, It works. But there are anormal things: -copying files from hard drive to a floppy became very slow. - in the /dev directory, with the command "ls -al" there are some files like that: crw------- 1 root wheel 15, 536870912 Nov 20 22:17 rcd0.ctl crw------- 1 root wheel 17, 536870912 Nov 20 22:17 rch0.ctl crw-r----- 1 root operator 13, 65538 Nov 20 22:17 rsd0 crw------- 1 root wheel 13, 536870912 Nov 20 22:17 rsd0.ctl crw-r----- 1 root operator 13, 131074 Nov 20 22:17 rsd0s1 crw-r----- 1 root operator 13, 196610 Nov 20 22:17 rsd0s2 crw-r----- 1 root operator 13, 262146 Nov 20 22:17 rsd0s3 crw-r----- 1 root operator 13, 327682 Nov 20 22:17 rsd0s4 crw-r----- 1 root operator 13, 65546 Nov 20 22:17 rsd1 crw------- 1 root wheel 13, 536870920 Nov 20 22:17 rsd1.ctl crw-r----- 1 root operator 13, 131082 Nov 20 22:17 rsd1s1 crw-r----- 1 root operator 13, 196618 Nov 20 22:17 rsd1s2 crw-r----- 1 root operator 13, 262154 Nov 20 22:17 rsd1s3 crw-r----- 1 root operator 13, 327690 Nov 20 22:17 rsd1s4 crw-r----- 1 root operator 13, 65554 Nov 20 22:17 rsd2 crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 65538 Nov 20 22:17 rwd0 crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 131074 Nov 20 22:17 rwd0s1 crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 196610 Nov 20 22:17 rwd0s2 crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 262146 Nov 20 22:17 rwd0s3 crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 327682 Nov 20 22:17 rwd0s4 crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 65546 Nov 21 23:52 rwd1 crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 131082 Nov 21 23:53 rwd1s1 crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 131080 Nov 21 23:53 rwd1s1a crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 131081 Nov 21 23:53 rwd1s1b crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 131082 Nov 21 23:53 rwd1s1c crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 131083 Nov 21 23:53 rwd1s1d crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 131084 Nov 21 23:53 rwd1s1e crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 131085 Nov 21 23:53 rwd1s1f crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 131086 Nov 21 23:53 rwd1s1g crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 131087 Nov 21 23:53 rwd1s1h crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 196618 Nov 21 23:53 rwd1s2 crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 262154 Nov 21 23:53 rwd1s3 crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 327690 Nov 21 23:53 rwd1s4 brw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 65538 Nov 20 22:17 sd0 brw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 131074 Nov 20 22:17 sd0s1 brw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 196610 Nov 20 22:17 sd0s2 brw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 262146 Nov 20 22:17 sd0s3 brw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 327682 Nov 20 22:17 sd0s4 brw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 65546 Nov 20 22:17 sd1 brw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 131082 Nov 20 22:17 sd1s1 brw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 196618 Nov 20 22:17 sd1s2 brw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 262154 Nov 20 22:17 sd1s3 brw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 327690 Nov 20 22:17 sd1s4 brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 65538 Nov 20 22:17 wd0 brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 131074 Nov 20 22:17 wd0s1 brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 196610 Nov 20 22:17 wd0s2 brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 262146 Nov 20 22:17 wd0s3 brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 327682 Nov 20 22:17 wd0s4 brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 65546 Nov 21 23:52 wd1 ...... brw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 131082 Nov 21 23:53 wd1s1 brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 131080 Nov 21 23:53 wd1s1a brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 131081 Nov 21 23:53 wd1s1b brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 131082 Nov 21 23:53 wd1s1c brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 131083 Nov 21 23:53 wd1s1d brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 131084 Nov 21 23:53 wd1s1e brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 131085 Nov 21 23:53 wd1s1f brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 131086 Nov 21 23:53 wd1s1g brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 131087 Nov 21 23:53 wd1s1h brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 196618 Nov 21 23:53 wd1s2 brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 262154 Nov 21 23:53 wd1s3 brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 327690 Nov 21 23:53 wd1s4 brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 65554 Nov 20 22:17 wd2 brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 16 Nov 20 22:17 wd2a brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 17 Nov 20 22:17 wd2b brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 18 Nov 20 22:17 wd2c brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 19 Nov 20 22:17 wd2d can I remove all these files and recreate them with "sh MAKEDEV all" ?

FreeBSD comes with a utility that repartitions your hard drive without loss of data. It also comes with a boot manager, booteasy. When you install FreeBSD, if you choose to install booteasy in your master boot record, you will have the option when you boot to boot to FreeBSD or Windows. > Pete Grillone > peterg@ebicom.net > > thanx > Ben From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Nov 28 12:45:23 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id MAA12491 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 28 Nov 1996 12:45:23 -0800 (PST) Received: from print.gfmurray.com ([207.6.88.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id MAA12486 for ; Thu, 28 Nov 1996 12:45:20 -0800 (PST) Received: from client3.gfmurray.com (client3.gfmurray.com [207.6.88.13]) by print.gfmurray.com (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id MAA28741 for ; Thu, 28 Nov 1996 12:46:17 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <1.5.4.32.19961128204517.0069c948@print.gfmurray.com> X-Sender: tim@print.gfmurray.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 1.5.4 (32) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Thu, 28 Nov 1996 12:45:17 -0800 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org From: Tim Baird Subject: Re: tcp/ip on ethernet problem Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk At 11:46 PM 11/27/96 -0500, you wrote: >>Date: Wed, 27 Nov 1996 23:44:55 -0500 >>To: Tim Baird >>From: Guy Silliman >>Subject: Re: tcp/ip on ethernet problem >> >>At 03:53 PM 11/27/96 -0800, you wrote: >> >>>NT box?

Thank you in advance for your time. I have searched the archives and have found no mention of this problem. OK, when I try to copy files from my dos partition to my Bsd partition, I get an error message, the machine reboots and I can no longer boot Bsd. It doesn't happen with every file but it has happened every time I have tried to cp a few files over to bsd. The error message is: mode-0120025, inum=791, fs=/ panic=ffs_valloc: dup alloc synching disks...14 14 2 done Automatic reboot on 15 seconds And then when I try to boot it says: Error: c:158870 > 1023 (Bios Limit) It seems that the partitions are not mouted properly but I have tried it both manually and through the boot manager. The files that I am trying to copy over are the new version of XF86Free which I need to use my particular Mach64. I would appreciate any help that anyone could offer. -- Stephen Cawood P.O.

Of course, you can always change this by reconfiguring the server to use the scripts out of /etc/rc.d/ instead of /usr/local/etc/rc.d, but any programs that install a startup file will not figure that out. > At the very least, I agree with Brian that startup files should remain > in the / filesystem.

You used FIPS on your DOS partition to shrink it down to make room for FreeBSD, but you shrank it so that a change in clustersize was necessary, but FIPS doesn't do this. Thus, FreeBSD gets confused. This is seen if on the ALT-F2 debug console, you see root is not a multiple of clustersize in length or something like that. My experience has been that this is very dangerous and will probably lead to a failed DOS install and/or possible DOS corruption. 2. You need to repartition your disk so that the FreeBSD partition is below cylinder 1024. the BIOS can't boot anything above this line, so try to get the FreeBSD root partition below there. > The files that I am trying to copy over are the new version of XF86Free > which I need to use my particular Mach64. Apparently you can't access your DOS partiton without damaging it, so try to find a different way of getting the server over to FreeBSD. Floppies work OK, or perhaps it's time to get ppp working :) Hope this helps.

Sysinstall depends on the filenames being correct, which they aren't if you try to cram the long filenamed packages into the FAT filename conventions. Instead, install the system, then mount the DOS partition and copy over the package to the FreeBSD partition, restoring the name. Then run 'pkg_add package.tgz' replacing package.tgz with the proper name to install it.

The Alt-F2 screen is your best source of debugging information. Keep an eye on it throughout the transfer, it will get pretty close to identifying what the problem is.

You need to create it and configure gated with it. Consult the gated documentation, which is in the source archive, the man page, or perhaps it was installed in /usr/share/ somewhere. One of my UNIX books has an extended discussion of it, either O'Reilly's 'TCP/IP Network Administration' or 'UNIX System Administration Handbook', but I'm not near them at the moment so I'm not sure offhand.

Having both SCSI and IDE in a system confuses the kernel. Type the appropriate disk at the Boot: prompt to boot the disk (ie, 'sd(2,a)/kernel'), then rebuild a kernel modifying the 'kernel' directive to point to the correct disk. This is a known problem.

I generally don't use sysinstall to install software packages or ports. It's easier to do it once the system is up. use 'pkg_add' to add packages, and type 'make' in the port's directory to get ports. > Or what is the correct procedure? > I am having problems getting /stand/sysinstall to download and install the > ports. It would be easier if it would take care of it all so that I wouldn't > have to manually go into /usr/ports/www/netscape and type "make". I don't think it would be productive for sysinstall to build ports. In some cases they require manual, interactive configuration and can take a long time since they build the application from scratch in may situations. Netscape is a "port" with quotes since all it does is fetch the netscape tarball and extract it (perhaps a little more).

Put the distribution files in an accessible place and follow the instructions below. 1) BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC. IT __WILL__ BE HOSED!!! 2) Boot the new floppy. Select the 'update' option. Follow the prompts. Make sure you MOUNT your filesystems and not NEWFS them. Select the same distributions you did originally and any you wish to add. 3) Hit 'commit'. Take note of the modified files. 4) WHen you're dumped to a shell prompt: . Copy services back from your backup /etc. It's three lines long now :( . Edit sysconfig and re-config from scratch using your old one as a guide. It's changed a bunch this time around and it's too much pain to hack in the new changes. . Migrate any changes you made to rc.local. Note that httpd is no longer started from sysconfig. 5) Reboot, recompile & reinstall your kernel, reboot again, and enjoy.

I wish it was that easy, but when the RealAudio client is started and tries to play a .ra file, it just hangs. I don't hear any sound at all from the sound card.

(please help) Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Dear reader, My modem (a U.S. Robotics sportster 14k4, external, fax/data) has a problem to connect to the telephone line. It says that there is no dial tone. I ran an internal check program (modem docter 6.0) to see if there was fine, and indeed the program did not report any failures. On the other hand, a Best modem, which I borrowed from a friend, has no troubles connecting form the same line. Now I noticed that there are some dip-switches on the sportster. Could it be that I have to change these settings ? I have no manual for this modem, so I wonder whether you can mail me any interesting pages ? Furthermore I noticed some differences in the S-registers between the Best and U.S. Robotics. Also it seems that U.S. Robotics has a continous RLS. I would really appreciate it if you could find time to help me. Yours sincerely, M.

Please check: 1) /etc/ppp/config modem crtscts netmask 0xfffffffe 2) make sure your modem is doing cts-rts flow control (see the modem doc) 3) issue the command "comcontrol /dev/ttydxx drainwait 10" at machine startup. The modem hungs because the output buffer is full and the OS is waiting to "pull" data to it and the modem signal "not ready" to the OS. Putting a command comcontrol with drainwait 10 tells the OS a timeout of 10 seconds. Hope this will help Sergio Lenzi. Unix consult.

This is a bug that's probably just been fixed in 3.0-current. Unless you are tracking -current, you need to either * Make your DOS partition smaller, so your cluster size doesn't exceed 16K. (To find out the cluster size, run DOS `chkdsk' and look for "allocation units".) or * Use some some utility to copy the files. (`Mtools' in the ports collection supports hard disks, but I don't know if this works on FreeBSD. Otherwise, I've got something lying around somewhere you could probably use.) -- Robert Nordier From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Nov 29 08:24:25 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id IAA23259 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 29 Nov 1996 08:24:25 -0800 (PST) Received: from starfire.mn.org (root@starfire.skypoint.net [199.86.32.187]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id IAA23250 for ; Fri, 29 Nov 1996 08:24:20 -0800 (PST) From: john@starfire.mn.org Received: (from john@localhost) by starfire.mn.org (8.7.5/1.1) id KAA09684 for questions@FreeBSD.org; Fri, 29 Nov 1996 10:24:17 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199611291624.KAA09684@starfire.mn.org> Subject: Rocket serial card support?

Now today I am trying to install FreeBSD on a freshly formatted scsi hard drive using the Q-Logic FAS408 host adapter. I have created the boot floppy, and have made it to the install choices menu. But our host adapter does not seem to be supported in version: 2.1.5. Is there a qlogic driver available? and how would I add this driver to the system so that install will work correctly? BTW: the cdrom is also a scsi drive so this adapter driver is very important.

Then run pwconv to move the encripted passwords to /etc/shadow. Also, Solaris does not have the 3 additions fields that FreeBSD added.

One option we'd like to consider is to use a freebsd box as the router rather than a dedicated box. Cost is one consideration, but another is that if a component dies, we're probably a lot more likely to be able to patch it back together. However, 1) Performance. Can a fbsd box match the performance of a dedicated router? 2) Information. There's a great attractiveness in a drop-in solution like a dedicated router. Where can we find the info on the hardware/software/configuration required to build a router based on fbsd. 3) Growth. We envision growth to the point of needing a dual T-1, then stepping up to a T-3. Can we grow with an fbsd box? Thanks for any insight you can provide.

I have the Jaz drive, an HP hard disk, and a CDROM on a AHA-1542CP controller, and I'm using the 3COM 3c509B network card. I can mount the Jaz file system (an msdos disk), but after I start copying data to it, the FreeBSD system (2.1.0-RELEASE) will reboot or hang on accesses to the jaz disk. Has anyone seen similar problems? I don't know if it is a hardware (SCSI/cable/other) or software problem. I hesitate to download a new release unless there is reason to suspect a software problem (and a likely fix). Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Jeff Porter jporter@enteract.com ps. Any pointers to using the Jaz drive with FreeBSD would also be appreciated.

The fishy thing is that, when I boot up the system using the boot.flp floppy image, at the CMOS BIOS phase, the Quantum IDE drive is detected as slave drive on primary IDE interface even though the drive has NOT been jumpered to mark it as either master or slave and my understanding is that when there is only one such IDE drive, it defaults the drive setting to be master automatically, and apparently that is not the case. Secondly, when the system actually loads in the floppy boot kernel, it fails to detect the wdc0 and wdc1, and therefore I cannot get to the IDE drive at all. The following are the probe messages: wdc0 not found at 0x1f0 wdc1 not found at 0x170 wdc0 and wdc1 are at IRQ 14 and 15 respectively according to the motherboard BIOS report. I did the following as suggested by one of the doco in the boot up menu using fd(0,a)/kernel -c : port wdc0 -1 port wdc1 -1 but it still fails to locate the 2 controllers. Please can any one offer any help ? Thanks in advance.

Is just the light on, or is the disk also active? If the disk is active, there are ways to find out what's going on. For example, use iostat: $ iostat 5 tty fd0 wd0 sd0 sd1 cpu tin tout sps tps msps sps tps msps sps tps msps sps tps msps us ni sy in id 0 424 0 0 0.0 242 15 7.0 379 39 0.0 37 5 0.0 8 0 8 4 79 0 532 0 0 0.0 265 17 5.3 287 34 0.0 0 0 0.0 9 0 9 1 81 0 468 0 0 0.0 265 22 7.4 242 35 0.0 0 0 0.0 7 0 7 1 86 0 433 0 0 0.0 448 31 6.9 365 34 0.0 0 0 0.0 8 0 8 2 82 ^C The 5 is the number of seconds between the display lines. You'll have to stop the display when you've seen enough (4 is good for what you're looking for). In this example, you can see statistics for 4 disks: fd0 (floppy, inactive), wd0 (IDE drive, quite active), sd0 (first SCSI, also quite active), and sd1 (second SCSI disk, inactive). The man page doesn't tell you, but some of the values specified in the first line are averages since the system was booted (like the activity for sd1, which was quite active earlier on). > I am sharing a 1.06 gig drive between win95 and freebsd.

Well, do what it says :-) It looks as if something got badly screwed up as a result of the panic, and even the standard file system checks weren't happy with the result. There's an example of what to do on page 145: # fsck -y /dev/rwd0a # fsck -y /dev/rwd0e You'll need to compare the device names with what you have in /etc/fstab. > I would really appreciate any enlightenment on this if possible. I > really would like to get it solved and get freebsd up and running . I'm more than a little concerned that this happened in the first place. Could it be that you used FIPS to reduce the size of an MS-DOS partition? If so, you could end up having the same problem again.

Just a guess, since nobody else has come in with the correct answer, and I don't have these problems: your routing tables aren't set up correctly. Check with $ netstat -rn Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 17 lo0 The localhost entry should look exactly like that, with the exception of the Refs and Use fields. You can also try $ netscape -display unix:0 and see if that helps.

If you're moving the user base another system, on the other hand, you should only move these two files. If you only back up /etc/master.passwd and /etc/group, you'll need to run pwd_mkdb or vipw to make the other password files after you're back up again.

It only suppots 8-bit displays, I believe, and will definitely dump core if you try to use it on 16- or 24-bit displays...

The box is used as a simple router between two Ethernet segments. Strange thing occurs when you unplug the cable out the SMC card and plug it back in: the kernel reports that the interface de0(or de1) is enabled and ifconfig will report that the interface is up and running but you will not be able to even ping that interface. After manually taking the interface down and up with ifconfig, communication will be restored. Although, it does not sound like a big deal, manually cycling the interface can be a major annoynce just because the cable was pulled out of concentrator for a short period of time.

This drive uses tapes which purport to back up 4/8GB (without/with compression). I found the following info in the hardware guide that came with the drive: Tape Format: QIC-3095 (Travan TR-4) # of tracks: 73 Bit density: 67733 I'm a little unsure just how I should invoke, e.g., dump(1) to have things work "optimally". If I specify no arguments at all, like this: dump 0uf /dev/nrst0 /home then I get nowhere near the advertised capacity (the tape "fills up" after only a few hundred MB's). So, I gather I need to specify the density and length of the tape (via the 'd' and 's' options, respectively). Is it as simple as: dump 0udsf 67733 740 /dev/nrst0 /home or not? I presume that the "bit density" the manual mentions is the bits per inch (BPI)? The tapes claim to be 740ft (225.6m) in length. Just for fun, I've experimented with a variety of different density/length values, none of which satisfy me (yet). Using the above-mentioned values doesn't even come close, so I've obviously missed something. After searching both the www.freebsd.org databases (WWW/Handbook and USENET archive) I could turn up only two references to this matter, neither of which was terribly specific. One person mentioned that they had a similar drive (Conner T4000) and that it worked well (it "ripped right along" was the comment). I figure I must be missing something, since my drive hardly "rips right along". I'm seeing between 100 and 300 KBps during backups, far from the advertised 514KBps (which, no doubt, only occurs under "optimal" circumstances, like when using the HP-provided software under an HP-supported platform :-) :-) I don't read -questions, so please CC me on any answer.

That error message actually looks like an explicit rejection -- you're not running with authority (a magic cookie file in your directory), and you didn't enter the command: xhost +localhost (Or maybe _xhosts_, I never use it because I run with authority at work, and I don't even use X at home ...

This repeats itself at regular intervals, like ever time the index page is accessed? It seems to be then, but other times as well I suspect? Now the interesting thing is. It doesn't matter if I run Apache, or NSCA, in either ones error_log, I get the same message, so I assume it's KERNEL generated? I've looked in the LINT conf, can't see anything obvious that would control this, any ideas anyone? Bob -- The China House. Advertise, or there's a good chance the sheriff will do it for you.

Date: Sat, 30 Nov 1996 22:47:53 -0500 From: "Brian J. McGovern" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've been playing around with nlist() with some mixed results. Although I've been able to pull out things like _boottime with no problem, I haven't been been able to pull _loadav out (returns all 0's). I've then gone on to try to pull out IP interface names using struct ifnet's. The code I'm playing with is down below. Could anyone give me some pointers why its not working? (I'm hoping that its something stupid and easy). What I'm assuming I have to do is look up _ifnet in the kernel (via nlist), read the ifnet structure from kmem at that memory location, then lseek to the location in ifnet.if_name, and read the string thats there. Also, should I assume that _ifnet points only to the first interface structure, and have to use ifnet.ifnext, or can I just do subsequest reads from the nlist material? Eventually, I'd like to pull out some more detailed information, like packets in/out, etc, so the more information that you can give me on how to manipulate these structures (and what they are), the more I'd appreciate it. Thanks. -Brian PS - Some of the assumptions I'm working with (like the size of the interface name entity (16 bytes) are based on some simple sample code I have to sucking out boot time and load averages).

Booth) Subject: Installing FreeBSD on New 2nd Hard Drive Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi. How should I set up a new second hard drive to install and run FreeBSD? Yesterday I bought a new 2.1-GB hard drive and installed it. I already have a 1.2-GB hard drive, master on the first IDE drive, with a 50-MB DOS partition; I had previously had about a ~400-MB FreeBSD partition, and then the rest was taken up by Red Hat Linux 4.0. The cdrom is attached as a slave on the first IDE drive. I wanted to put FreeBSD on the new drive, by itself, and dedicate all but the ~50 MB to Linux. It seems that FreeBSD will only install on the 2nd drive if that drive is jumpered as a slave in the 2nd IDE drive. But the computer will only recognize the 2nd hard drive if it is master on the 2nd IDE drive. DOS will not recognize the 2nd drive, and AMIBIOS says that the disk has failed if it is jumpered as slave on the 2nd IDE drive. CMOS acknowledges it. Incidentally, Linux very sweetly recognizes everything, and LILO ("Linux loader"), tried to install all three choices in the boot manager on the first drive, but that screwed up somehow, and right now nothing boots. BootEasy didn't see Linux, or install on the boot manager on the first drive. Thanks. BTW, I am rather tired, so I apologise if my message here is even more incoherent than usual. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Booth What, in ill thought again?

If you have any ideas what the problem might be, I would be very grateful.
