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

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

You need to specify a BSD partition, ie a,d,e etc. I assume you're using the entire disk and don't want to partition it, so newfs the a drive: newfs /dev/rsd0s1a Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Sep 29 14:19:14 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id OAA26913 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 29 Sep 1996 14:19:14 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id OAA26878 for ; Sun, 29 Sep 1996 14:19:10 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id OAA00924; Sun, 29 Sep 1996 14:19:03 -0700 (PDT) Date: Sun, 29 Sep 1996 14:19:02 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: Michael Grove cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Boot Problems In-Reply-To: <1.5.4.32.19960929194527.00671dd0@mail.usask.ca> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Sun, 29 Sep 1996, Michael Grove wrote: > At this point I have a Minimal version of FreeBSD installed on a second > harddrive, but I have no way to boot from it.

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

This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"**). In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. I'm taking the viewpoint of the newcomer here: we have other ways of handling arrogant hackers :-) When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, please remember: 1. Nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message, so please specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Can't get this to work" aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, most people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Please try to format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!!. We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak English as their first language, and we try to make allowances for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message written full of typos or without any line breaks. 4. Please don't include unrelated questions in the same message. Firstly, a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to read the message. 5. Please specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: - If you get error messages, don't say "I get error messages", say (for example) "I get the error message 'No route to host'". - If your system panics, don't say "My system panicked", say (for example) "my system panicked with the message 'free vnode isn't'". - If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what hardware you have. In particular, it's important to know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine. 6. If you don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message again and again will only make you unpopular. For example, let's assume you know the answer to the following question. You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it. I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16 MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive. The installation works just fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing Operating System". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for this activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Well, I finally got it to wrok! Installation from CD-ROM would not work. Installation from a DOS partition would not work. A partial installation from floppies worked well. I got the CD-ROM installation to work by changing the location of the SCSI controller on the mother-board. The 2940 came from the store in location 'pci014' (Third from the top). When I moved it to location 'pci012' (Top slot), all my CRC errors, checksum errors, and premature end-of-file errors went away. The details of my hardware are: AMD 486-133MHz PCI-bus mother-board from Elpina. Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller. 1.2GB Seagate (Hawk) SCSI disk-drive for FreeBSD. 2.1GB Hewlett-Packard SCSI disk-drive for DOS. Plextor 4X SCSI CD-ROM drive. Stealth Video-card. 33600 Baud internal modem from Zoltrix. Creative Technologies Sound-Blaster-16 card. Gravis game-port card. Another thing that I noticed about my hardware as it was delivered to me is that both hard-drives had the terminator-enable jumper in place. The CD-ROM drive had termination-resitors installed also. Since the CD-ROM drive was last on the cable, it should be the only device with termination, so I disabled the termination on both hard-drives. By the way; the original harware configuration never gave me any trouble in any DOS applications. I hope that this is of some help to those that are tring to install FreeBSD and keep getting read-errors. Sincerely, Michael Nix AMD, Austin October 1, 1996 8:09 a. m.

It seems that when I select OSBS to boot under FreeBSD, I get the following [43:][fd(43,a)][/kernel] .... as the default boot device. There is, of course, no fd(43) device. This occurs both when a floppy is present in fd(0) _and_ when there is no floppy in fd(0). Accepting the default causes a spontaneous reboot. My current workaround is that at the boot prompt I must physically type either fd(0,a)/kernel (if I want to boot from a floppy present in fd(0)) or wd(0,a)/kernel (if I want to boot from my hard drive). This is a very strange error and it first occurred when I put a new 2MB Maxtor hard drive in my system at wd(0), and moved my old 1.6MB Maxtor to wd(1). I reinstalled FreeBSD-2.1.5 onto the 2MB Maxtor using the boot floppy (typing fd(0,a)/kernel at the boot prompt) and extracting the bin, etc. distributions that I put in the existing filesystem on my old Maxtor hard drive. My Windows95 system seems to have no problem with this setup. Any ideas about what could cause this? Could it be strange properties of my BIOS or the way I have my hard drives jumpered? I followed the proper master/slave jumper settings for the Maxtors.

You'd probably get more answers if you had selected a subject line like "Problems with multiple Ethernet boards" > Does anyone know how to judge how much memory I need according to number o > Ethernet Cards (all are 10BaseT, UTP 10Mbit/s) ???? I don't think they're a significant factor. I suppose that 8 MB of RAM is not exactly too much, but I don't think that that's the problem. I've run routers (one Ethernet board, one ISDN board) in 4 MB, and didn't have any memory pressure. I don't expect the additional boards to make any difference. I'd guess that you might have a driver problem. Which boards are you using?

What you want is RADIUS, a protocol which allows portmasters (and other network access servers) to authenticate username/password with a separate server. This is cool because then you can have dozens of PortMasters (or Ascends, or...) all querying the same RADIUS servers. You can download the radius daemon from ftp.livingston.com, or build the one in FreeBSD's ports collection. You then configure the RADIUS server. There's two basic ways to configure users: 1. add username/password into the RADIUS "users" table, or 2. tell radius daemon to validate against the UNIX /etc/passwd file. I took latter approach, because I only wanted to have the sysadms create user "accounts" once. Since most of the users were going to be dial-in PPP only (non-shell), I modified the "adduser" script config to set the default shell offered when creating accounts to "/NoShell". So radiusd looks in the "users" file, finds only one user: ############################################################################### # If no username match above, use UNIX /etc/passwd authentication method. # This allows us to use our existing user account name/password for dialup # PPP username/passwords. Thus, we don't need to maintain separate accounts. DEFAULT Password = "UNIX" User-Service-Type = Framed-User, Framed-Protocol = PPP If anyone else has comments on the wisdom of doing it this way, I'd be happy to hear from you. You might wanna subscribe to the freebsd-isp mailing list for questions of this type; cc'd here. Later.

Ther ethernet machine has the IP adress of the ed0 interface as its default route. I can verify this as I can see the packets addressed outside arrive at the FreeBSD box ethernet interface. The FreeBSD starts pppd with defaultroute-option, so pppd puts a default route to the routing table as the link comes up and removes it when the link goes down. This works, as the FreeBSD box can talk to the outside world.

I have understood that routed just keeps the routing tables up to date in a dynamic environment with multiple possible routes. I believe the answer should be the GATEWAY=YES in sysconfig, which causes sysclt -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 command at startup. It just doesn't work for me. I started without routed, since there isn't much choice of route anyway. Either the packet is destined to the local ethernet at ed0 or elsewhere via ppp0.

Running FreeBSD 2.1.5 with Portmasters among other demonic components... :) You might want to look into Radius for authentication, especially if your user table gets to be around 200 or more. Radius runs on your FreeBSD server and uses udp ports for authentication. You can check out more info on it at Livingston's web site. If you want, you can set it up to user the /etc/passwd file, or in this case, the /etc/master.passwd file for verification, but you still will have to add the usernames to the radius users file. A lot better than user tables. Never bothered to read up on the in.pmd daemon though. Hope this helps, J On Mon, 30 Sep 1996, Christopher H.

The controller was not listed as compatible with FreeBSD so I got an Adaptec 2940UW in its place and completely disabled the onboard controller. The 2940UW BIOS loads fine and I can access the attached devices under DOS, but when the install floppy's kernel loads and the PCI bus is probed, no SCSI hosts are found. Therefore when I get to the install menu, I'm told I don't have any disk dirves.

In order to ping your machine name, you would need a static IP and it would have to be setup in your ISP's DNS.

I figure someone has improved upon virtually every other UNIX utility (inetd, portmapper, ftpd, vi, more, etc.), and syslogd would not be a bad candidate to muck with.

It should handle log rotation itself, rather than relying on something like newsyslog. It should allow inclusive as well as exclusive specification of logging destinations (e.g., I want all messages from ftpd to go to /var/log/ftp.log, but *not* to /var/log/messages).

I guess it depends on what you mean by 'userland'. Did it take any of the OS with it or do you still have a bootable disk? If you can still boot, you should be able to prepare the new disk as normal (disklabel/newfs) and edit /etc/fstab to mount it up. Then pull out the restore tapes and enjoy ....

Emacs has an edt mode which allows the user to use the keypad in the old standard "keypad-editing" mode ala' VT100. One thing that would be really nice for this would be to be able to trade the position of the num lock and F12 keys. I've tried this using xmodmap. I've boiled my swap down to: keycode 77 = F12 keycode 96 = Num_Lock ...and sure enough, if I pump on the F12 key, the num lock light goes on and off. Similarly if I push the num lock key I appear to get something that appears F12-ish. However num lock no longer works! Once I apply this, it doesn't matter if the num lock key is on or off -- my keypad acts like arrow keys and not a number pad. I find this strange. As an added data point, I also have Xaccel. If I'm running THAT, it appears to work just fine. Which is cool, except the machine I want to do this on...doesn't have Xaccel. And I'm not even sure why there would be a difference between the two anyway, the xmodmap binary is the same in both cases. Running 2.2-960801-SNAP.

First, I'd like to thank Doug White for the info on why BootEasy on my wd0 couldn't find my partition, but the BootEasy on the SCSI disk could (it was a geometry problem on wd0 -- to fix, you need to reformat the drive with the proper geometry--I found out that the Boot floppy can do this, although you lose the contents of your drive when you do it). That now works fine. Unfortunately, I have traced another problem. This motherboard is using one of the IBM 486 'Blue Lightning' chips, which apparently doesn't respond to the keyboard reset. I added BROKEN_KEYBOARD_RESET to the kernel, and recompiled. With the new kernel in place, the system works fine. Unfortunately, whenever FreeBSD triggers a reboot (e.g. shutdown -r or pressing a key on the console after shutdown -h), the SCSI drive loses its super block. I have confirmed that this happens only when FreeBSD triggers the reset, and not when the system is reset via the reset button. Waiting for a while after the shutdown -h for the controller to write out its cache doesn't matter. I also noticed that the drive light on the SCSI drive (which is in its own housing) flashes briefly after the system resets. This reliably appears to destroy the entire super block--fsck cannot run on the drive (no magic number), and instructs me to manually fsck the drive (which will not work unless I use fsck -b 32 /dev/rsd0e ). The fsck only finds the superblock corrupted (after the first time, when I think it found some damage to the original superblock), and offers to copy back the superblock for me. Has anyone experienced this problem? I'm using an Adaptec 2840 VLB, which may be part of the problem (it appears to use the ahc0 driver, although the apparent disk write occurs before the system actually starts booting, when the Adaptec seems to be scanning its drives). Could this be happening because the reset trys to pull all of system memory? bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Oct 2 00:53:44 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id AAA18198 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 2 Oct 1996 00:53:44 -0700 (PDT) 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 AAA18193 for ; Wed, 2 Oct 1996 00:53:39 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from nadav@localhost) by gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (8.7.5/8.6.12) id JAA24706; Wed, 2 Oct 1996 09:51:54 +0200 (IST) Date: Wed, 2 Oct 1996 09:51:54 +0200 (IST) From: Nadav Eiron To: Fabio Cesar Gozzo cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Interleave size in CCD In-Reply-To: <199610011800.PAA01299@thomson.iqm.unicamp.br> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: QUOTED-PRINTABLE Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Tue, 1 Oct 1996, Fabio Cesar Gozzo wrote: > Hello everybody, > =09=09I'm trying to concatenate 2 discs in my system (PPro, > AHA 2940, 2 SCSI 2GB each).

They are only related=20 when using parity, and then they are referred to as two separate=20 RAID=A0classes (RAID 3 vs. RAID 4/5), and even that's mostly irrelevant=20 now, as RAID controllers implement write-back caches. The tradeoff with stripe size (and mostly with RAID 3 vs. 5 decision) is whether you have a more-or-less single stream of requests to the disks, or many users concurrently on it, and the size of requests they make. Small stripe sizes work best if you have a single process generating relatively long I/O requests (like most DBMSs do). Small stripe size makes the array behave like a normal disk, but with double the transfer rate. If, on the other hand, you have many users, doing relatively short and random I/O's you'd be better off using large stripe size (larger than the longest request that will be made to the array). This would have the effect of=20 halving (on average) the access time, but leaving the transfer rate (for=20 each individual request) the same as that of a single disk, though the=20 total throughput will, of course, be doubled anyway. Large stripe sizes,=20 when there are many users, provide the best throughput. All in all, if you have one process accessing the disk, you'll probably=20 be better off with small stripe sizes, but there is always a tradeoff. If= =20 you care about performance and don't know the application well enough -=20 try it both ways! All this is said without any specific reference to the ccd driver. For=20 example, to make my theory correct it'll have to issue two concurrent=20 I/O's to member disks if each one is shorter than the stripe size and=20 they happen to belong to different member disks.

It's a multi-session ASCII terminal manager (lets you run multiple sessions full-screen on a single terminal), but you can make each session run in a built-in vt100 (at least, maybe vt220, this you would have to check) emulator.

Hmm, isn't there a problem with Compaq systems in that they don't totally obey the PCI bus specification? You might want to search the mailing list archives for Compaq and PCI (questions and scsi).

Thanks for your input. If I understand arp(8) correctly, the setup you suggest would cause all ethernet packets addressed to lonely_mac being accepted by the FreeBSD box as well. This is not allowed and I get a "writing to a routing socket: File exists"-error. At the moment the ethernet works correctly. All packets addressed to lonely_mac are accepted by the Mac alone. All packets the Mac generates, either addressed to the FreeBSD box or the Internet, are received by ed0. The problem is that the FreeBSD doesn't forward the packets to ppp0. The whole setup looks like: +------ethernet------+ | | +-----+ +---------+ | Mac | | FreeBSD | +-----+ +---------+ | ppp | +-----+ | ISP |-->Internet +-----+ I think you were thinking of the proxyarp option to pppd. It causes pppd to add an arp entry for the IP address at the other end of the ppp link. I tried it but it didn't work because my IP addresses are not in the same subnet as the ISP's PPP interface. I don't know whether that option would activate the packet forwarding. If you have any more thoughts please let me know.

From man 8 popper: ... The popper pro- gram initializes and verifies that the peer IP address is registered in the local domain, logging a warning message when a connection is made to a client whose IP address does not have a canonical name. For systems using BSD 4.3 bind, it also checks to see if a cannonical name lookup for the client returns the same peer IP address, logging a warning message if it does not. ....

This machine will hopefully provide shell accounts, ftp access, web service, and possibly POP mail service for a large number of people (>500). 3) What utilities provide the best picture of system performance? I've used 'top' and I've run 'lmbench' and 'bonnie' before to beat on a system, but I was wondering what other people use to gauge system performance. Any advice from any other large FreeBSD sites is appreciated.

I updated the ATAPI driver from the file atapi_960716.tqz. My CDROM is properly recognized, and all is well. EXCEPT: My controller light stays on continuously. I eventually figured out the call to WDCC_DIAGNOSE in wdprobe()[wd.c] causes the light to come on and stay on if there is not an actual hard drive attached to the controller. I added a call to wdreset() after that point, and now my light behaves properly, and I see no ill side effects. However, I do not have a controller manual, so I am not at all sure what I did was legal or correct. Could some authoritative individual please examine my change and bless it or warn me of any danger so I'll take it out?

You may have to increase the size of your kernel virtual address space depending on how many simultaneous TCP connections you have and how much kernel memory these consume. This is done by moving the kernel start address down in memory by 256MB. I've done this for wcarchive, but it's somewhat difficult due to the need to rebuild a large number of utilities after making the change. Figuring out whether or not you need to do this is also difficult. I was able to figure it out by carefully analyzing the free virtual address space during system startup (using kernel printfs in key places) and then accounting for a few variables. We need to make the out-of-VM detection more automatic. All of this isn't an issue for machines with 256MB of RAM or less, but starts to become an issue for >256MB. We haven't moved the kernel start address by default due to BSD/OS compatibility considerations (which would break if we made such a change)...and too many people enjoy using Netscape. On the other hand, it may not be a problem for you; this depends entirely on your application mix, total number of processes, total number of mbuf clusters, etc., during peak periods. It was a problem for wcarchive, but then noone else is serving 1200 FTP users simultaneously like we do.

Can you send the results Sorry, I should have stated this as: If you want to use com4 with a modem (DCE), only use cuaa3 in /etc/ttys. If you want to use com4 with a direct connect serial device (other than a modem - DTE), only use ttyd3 in /etc/ttys. Since you are using a modem, you should use cuaa3 instead of ttyd3 (this includes using cuaa3 in all comm programs as well.) v/mgetty is expecting that you will use the same device for it to listen on and for you to use with comm programs. Although cuaa3 and ttyd3 are actually the same device, when you opened cuaa3 with a comm program, v/mgetty didn't know that it was the same as ttyd3, so it was still listening, and getting half (or so) of your input. If you open the same device that v/mgetty is listening on, then v/mgetty knows to stop listening until you are done. > > (or report the results) of a 'ps -axw | fgrep a3 | fgrep -v fgrep' > > and 'ps -axw | fgrep d3 | fgrep -v fgrep'.

I'm guessing that one of two things is happening: 1. nslookup isn't bothering to display the record, since it printed out the server/address at the start. This doesn't seem very likely, as it's just dumping out what it gets. 2. named isn't bothering to return the address record for itself, since you obviously have the ip address already. I think this is a bug, if that's the case, because you may have the ip address, but you don't necessarily have the name, and thus don't know that you have the ip address for ns.rdrop.com.

I had this problem. I believe that the bios will wait a very long time for the first drive to spin up, but then once it is up, it will check very briefly if the second one is up, and if it is, great, if not, it just goes on. I had to change the spin up time in the bios on the second drive to wait 10 seconds (5 wasn't long enough). Now it works all the time.

The problem is that I need to reboot (with the tape drive turned on) -- in order for the kernel to probe the device -- whenever I want to do a backup. Is there a way to force a probe while the system is running (i.e. at a time other than boot time)? Alternatively, is there a way to configure the kernel so that the SCSI DAT tape drive is always assumed to exist, rather than having it probe()'ed for? The hard drive is also a SCSI device, so the SCSI interface AHA-1542C (I think) is found during boot-time probe, as is the SCSI hard drive. Thanks!

Most (all?) of the users would be using Windows 95 or NT, but there may be a few others. What I need to know is: 1. What multiport serial board will incur the least overhead? Do they all incur about the same interrupt overhead or is there some "smartness" that the kernel can take advantage of with some? There's also the question of reliability. 2. Is there a real difference between user-mode ppp (iijppp?) and kernel-mode WRT performance? I would think it would, especially as you add more serial ports. 3. What kind of machine will do the job? I'd think a 486/66 will handle a few ports simultaneously, but where's the cutoff point? Maybe the answers to questions 1&2 affect this one. There must be lots of people out there who use FreeBSD for this purpose. Maybe someone can relate their experiences with some particular hardware.

I upgraded my main system to 2.1.5 and produced a custom boot floppy which used PCVT as the console driver, yet I am still having problems with the console. (I also removed all the unnecessary drivers while I was at it.) Now when it boots, the text is white on red and the boot process hangs as it tries to exec sysinstall. If I try to interact with the kernel configuration visual interface, I cannot use the arrow keys. It's seems to understand the keyboard better, but before sysinstall used to run. Any thing I have missed?

Everyone on the table was most amused, and before I knew it I was flooded in ISP business cards asking if I could email it to them. Now, I could create my own version of it, but I don't want to steal the thunder from the original (which I know is out there.) Does anyone have this funny telephone script? An excerpt of it looks something like this: Caller> Hello, my car isn't working! Helpdesk> Really sir? Have you turned it on with the key? Caller> Key? Helpdesk> Yes, it is a small metallic object you got with the car, put it in the ignition and turn it until you hear the engine noise Caller> Man these things are complicated.... You get the general drift I am sure for those than know.

I must have something setup wrong with the mouse due to the X error I'm receiveing, but I'm out of ideas at this point. 1.) Can not boot custom kernel. No matter what I try, I can ONLY boot the generic kernel as shipped, or the GENERIC kernel with the XSERVER option and psm0 device built in it. I have tried starting with GENERIC and adding in the things I *think* I need, and I've tried starting with LINT and removing the things I *don't* think I need. In both cases, the kernel builds without errors, but the system hangs immediately after echoing the text and data information. 2.) X will not run under the GENERIC kernel I am no longer getting system panics, however I do receive the following error: Fatal Server Error Cannot open mouse xinit: no such file or directory (errno 2): unexpected signal 13 I have /dev/psm0 /dev/mse0 and /dev/mouse built in /dev.

You have two choices: Either you copy that part of your CD to /usr/ports and create a link from the CD distfiles directory to /usr/ports/distfiles, go into /usr/ports/shells/ and say make ; make install. or you type pkg_add /cdrom/packages/shells/pdksh-5.2.3.tgz or pkg_add /cdrom/packages/shells/zsh-2.6b10.tgz Both will get you Korn shell 'klones'.

Your X server may be looking for something else... I think that it also leaves some logs around that you may get more information from. I just don't remember where they would be, but / may be a good place to look for them (or perhaps ~root/ ?).

Second, I don't care if there was a way I could kill ftp logins idle over, lets say, 10 minutes. Using the -t and -T options has not affected this problem. I can kill an idle telnet, I just don't know how to kill (or even find) these ftp logins. They don't appear as processes, just connections in netstat.

Root is the username for system administration. The first thing you should do is give root a password # passwd root it will ask for the password twice. Then create an account for yourself: # adduser which is an interactive program to create new user accounts. If you are going to do the sysadm you should put yourself in the "wheel" group. Logout as root and login as yourself. Once you've done this, it is prefered that you "su" to root ($ su root) when you need to do system administration rather than logging in as root. dayton From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Oct 3 09:06:52 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id JAA05256 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 3 Oct 1996 09:06:52 -0700 (PDT) Received: from starfire.mn.org (root@starfire.skypoint.net [199.86.32.187]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id JAA05234 for ; Thu, 3 Oct 1996 09:06:44 -0700 (PDT) From: john@starfire.mn.org Received: (from john@localhost) by starfire.mn.org (8.6.12/1.1) id LAA16071 for questions@FreeBSD.org; Thu, 3 Oct 1996 11:06:40 -0500 Message-Id: <199610031606.LAA16071@starfire.mn.org> Subject: bounce buffers and ethernet controllers To: questions@FreeBSD.org (FreeBSD questions) Date: Thu, 3 Oct 1996 11:06:39 -0500 (CDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL25] 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 I'm about to upgrade to a PCI system and put 32M of RAM in it.

The interesting thing is that it seems to be dependent on which display I display it on, not which computer I run it on. If I run it from Linux, FreeBSD, or Solaris and display it on my display (FreeBSD), it does not do Java. If I run it from FreeBSD and display it on the Linux or Solaris display, it works just fine. The Linux box and FreeBSD box have different graphics cards, but the same resolution (16 bpp - actually one Linux box has 8 bpp and the other has 16bpp and both work fine). Basically every version works when displayed on the Linux or Solaris boxes, but no version works when displayed on my FreeBSD box. The only differences between these systems (working and not working) is the graphics card. Also the FreeBSD box doesn't have the Multi-Buffering X11 extension, while all the other systems do. -- Mark O'Lear \ e-mail: Mark.Olear@Colorado.EDU University of Colorado \ phone: (303) 492-3798 Telecomm.

The CDROM should be connected to one of the "standard" EIDE interfaces (*not* to a sound card like the SB16). It seems to be best to try it as the slave on the primary controller (this of course assumes you have a disk to act as master). It may also be possible to get it to work as the master on the secondary controller. Also, make sure there is a CD in it when you boot. I think the installation program might cares about that. > > I'd appreciate nay help... thanx! > > Chris > > Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Oct 3 11:38:08 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id LAA14943 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 3 Oct 1996 11:38:08 -0700 (PDT) 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 LAA14937 for ; Thu, 3 Oct 1996 11:38:04 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from nadav@localhost) by gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (8.7.5/8.6.12) id UAA29611; Thu, 3 Oct 1996 20:36:30 +0200 (IST) Date: Thu, 3 Oct 1996 20:36:30 +0200 (IST) From: Nadav Eiron To: Jack Wenger cc: questions@freebsd.com Subject: Re: X won't Fire In-Reply-To: <199610031752.MAA28853@mendota.terracom.net> 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 Thu, 3 Oct 1996, Jack Wenger wrote: > Hi All > I just installed (yep, a newbie question) FreeBSD 2.1.5 (walnut grove > cd-rom) and got it to run fine.

I tried installing the latest version (2.2-960801SNAP) to try and solve the problem, but on the probe of the PCI bus on my COMPAQ ProLiant 5000 it fails to find any of the PCI devices other than the chipset and also shows the wrong amount of memory. ... and then it goes on to the ISA devices. My current FreeBSD system is in desparate need of upgrade, and I don't want to have to migrate to another flavor of UNIX. Hints? Suggestions? I set up an ISP recently and they had a couple Compaqs they wanted to use; can't remember the model, but the series with everything on the motherboard. Several folks warned me about trying to get Compaq's integrated hardware to work -- no docs, proprietary, all interrupts used, etc. Well, we finally were able to get both of 'em to work, but had to put in our own Adaptec SCSI controller, and ether card, and disable their internal ones. For this, we had to boot off the special Compaq CDROM and tweak things. Then we got hosed because there's some DIP-switch on the motherboard that has to be in one position to allow the CDROM to tell the system config to change, and another to tell it to not allow any more changes. What a hassle. Oh, and we could only get their graphics chip to run X11 at 640x480 cuz it has a paltry 256K or 512K RAM on it... cheap. But after installation (FreeBSD-2.1.5-RELEASE) I did a /usr/X11R6/bin/scanpci and -- wonder of wonders -- it told me there was a Lance Ethernet and NCR SCSI controller in there. These were the built-in devices. If I had known that, I probably could have used them instead of all the nonsense reconfiguring the system to handle my own hardware. I would have tried this but ran out of time on the project :-( I hope this helps. We wasted 32 hours trying to get the first one to run FreeBSD. :-( Never had any where near these problems on generic hardware. PS: We also had a problem with it not finding the right amount of memory (sometimes seeing 48M instead of 64M, or seeing a *huge* amount instead of 64M). I'm sorry but I can't remember what we did to fix this, but it might have had to do with the tweak CDROM thing to tell it how much was really installed. Sorry.

Yes, we have been experiencing the same problem you have. We are running WU-FTPD 2.4.2[ACADEM-11]. It seems to only occur, when the person loses carrier while online to ftp. I am not positive, because I have not extensively tested my theory.

I found the following message in the archives and I did it and now Java works! I also did a 'xset fp rehash' before I tried it. I didn't need to unset anything though, just the 'mkfontdir' from the fonts/misc directory. Thanks!

Here is one fix (as root): cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc /usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir There is also an environment variable (with a "C" in it if I remember) that you should *unset* for JAVA to work.

I assume that you meant /dev/rst0 since I was talking about the streaming tape. I get a "Device not configured" message, just like when I try to tar or dd to it if the tape drive wasn't on when I booted. That's the problem that I'm trying to solve. After thinking about /dev/sd0, I decided that it _shouldn't_ do any harm to try the above command on that device. Bad decision. It crashed the machine. :-( Have you any other suggestions for me?

Another consistent problem is Netscape crashing when I try to view the source of an html document.

I have attempted to install this drive on SCSI ID 5. (Side note, the firmware revision is the generic 2618.) I have used the "expert" DOS software package that I downloaded from www.exabyte.com to test the drive under DOS. Other than a tendancy to report fairly high Rewrt and ECC percentages on the first couple of megabytes written, the drive passed all of the tests that this software provides. The Rewrt and ECC percentages will drop as you write/read more data from the drive. If you write/read enough data, the percentages average out to acceptable values. Is this typical behavior ? Oh well, I digress ... My real problem is with Freebsd 2.1.5. I have two tape drives installed. An Archive 2150s is present on SCSI ID 4. The 8200 is installed on ID 5. I created the proper devices in /dev using the "/dev/MAKEDEV st1" command. All of the proper devices were created. I rebooted just to make sure everything was clean and verified that Freebsd properly probed/detected the 8200 and attached it to the st1 interface. The Archive 2150s was also properly identified and was attached to st0. Now for the problem ... The Archive 2150s works fine. When I attempt to "tar -cvf /dev/rst1" the entire SCSI bus hangs, requiring a machine boot to clear the bus. I cannot use the st or the mt utilities to display status or set modes. When I attempt to do so, I get "Invalid Input/Output Error". Again, I can access the 2150s just fine. Hardware does not seem to be at fault since both drives are happy under DOS.

My problem is the Quantum won't work. I did install it and things went fine for a couple of hours then. I get parity errors and the SCSI bus hangs up. I did disable the IDE on the motherboard of the Compaq, and without the Quantum drive it works fine. The Quantum is in the middle connector on the internal cable, the Seagate is on the end, there is nothing connected to the external connector. Could it be I need to set a jumper on the quantum? Termination? I didn't receive a book with the Quantum (I do have one for the Seagate). The drive came installed with an IDE drive, I pulled the IDE, and installed the Seagate as sd0 and jumpered the Quantum as sd1. That's the only changes to the drives. Any ideas? Thanks, Paul.

Well, `as' is distributed with FreeBSD. `cc' changes C code to assembler, and runs it through `as'. You'll probably find that `as' isn't exactly what you wanted, though... It's not your standard Intel-ish assembler. You'll generally want to do whatever in C. Portable. Probably gets optimized better. Much more normal. -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken?

We've got a couple of Quantum 2GB (XP32150?) drives at work hanging off a 2940UW and they work with no problems - they aren't being utilized too much yet, though. We're also running FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE. The Adaptec 2940s seem to be touchy about cabling and termination. You want to double check these. I've also had a bad internal connector on my ribbon cable - you might try a different one if you have more than a two device ribbon cable. The last Quantum we pruchased came without a manual also. You can get all the information you need off Quantums web site (www.quantum.com). Our drive didn't work at first - it wasn't set to spin up at power on and we had to set the appropriate jumper. Make sure that the Seagate is terminated properly since it's the last device in the chain. I never use power from the SCSI bus to terminate and use the drives power to terminate. You can also try swapping drive positions on the cable to see if the Seagate will then have the same problem on the same connector. If all the hardware checks out, then you can go into SCSI Select Utilities and try to disable SCSI parity checking. The driver will read this value from the SEEPROM and use it to [dis|en]able parity error detection. This isn't the optimal solution 'cause it could be masking out a real problem with the drive. Oh, check you've got a good power supply to the drive and that it's not running too hot. If it takes a couple of hours for the drive to start generating errors, it could be heat related...

I am not currently running any version of FreeBSD, but I'd like to install it (2.1.5-RELEASE, fwiw) and check it out. I have 2 IDE drives, and I'm planning on installing BSD on the 3rd partition of the 2nd drive (both are on the first IDE cable). I have been told that the kernel which is installed as part of the process expects to find itself on the first IDE device, and the system won't boot (at least, won't boot BSD) if it's not there. So, I have two questions: 1) Is this in fact the case? If so, can I get around it by swapping the drives, installing, recompiling the kernel to look for itself on the second device (and changing /etc/fstab), and moving the driveFrom owner-freebsd-questions Thu Oct 3 20:04:15 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id UAA01027 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 3 Oct 1996 20:04:15 -0700 (PDT) Received: from s4.elec.uq.edu.au (s4.elec.uq.edu.au [130.102.96.4]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id UAA01017 for ; Thu, 3 Oct 1996 20:04:01 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from clary@localhost) by s4.elec.uq.edu.au (8.7.5/8.6.12) id NAA13703 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Fri, 4 Oct 1996 13:03:51 +1000 (EST) From: Clary Harridge Message-Id: <199610040303.NAA13703@s4.elec.uq.edu.au> Subject: 2.15 release boot.flp missing adaptec 2940AU driver To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Fri, 4 Oct 1996 13:03:50 +1000 (EST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL25] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi I have tried both the 2.1.5 RELEASE and 2.2-960801-SNAP floppies.

We use it here at the UO. The only question is if any intervening devices (routers??) need to be configured to route TCP/IP. If not, set up a pop daemon on your FreeBSD box, use Eudora Light on all those boxes, create usernames on the FreeBSD box, set up Eudora to point to the email address on that machine, and you're pretty much home for very low cost (Eudora is free). The only sticky thing is installing & configuring Eudora on all those machines (a five- to ten-minute job each).

That's absolutly normal. DOS cannot see FreeBSD slices (just like it won't give a letter to a drive that has HPFS or NTFS on it). > i'm having a time getting to the second hard drive(the second drive does > not have a dos slice) i wanted it to be purely bsd. the first drive > which i'm working on will be used to store file(pictures) for later > access from the second drive. If I understand correctly, all you need is to access files that are created under DOS from FBSD. The easiest way would be to mount the DOS disk under FreeBSD. FreeBSD *can* access FAT slices (which is what DOS uses). Try man mount_msdos.

This is the loop back interface (implementing the 127.0.0.1 address every host has). It is vital to the proper functioning of the TCP/IP software.

I am running FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE and have just bought a shiny new Exabyte 8505XLI tape drive. I am attempting to back up several filesystems as different tape files. e.g. cd /somewhere ; tar cf /dev/nrst0 * cd /somewhere/else ; tar cf /dev/nrst0 * I have done this before with other UNIXes. Now I am attempting to restore these directories (actually just verify that this is happening) with: mt rewind tar tf /dev/nrst0 > filelist.1 tar tf /dev/nrst0 > filelist.2 the first one always works (and is the one I backed up first) the second one never does. I have tried writing filemarks using mt between the two backup procedures. It seems to never find the second archive. It is my understanding that the tar will write the file to tape and write an EOF mark, then the second file, and another EOF mark. Upon restore, after the first file is restored the tape should be in position to read the next tarfile. It doesn't happen. I have also tried rewinding the tape and using the mt command to skip to the next filemark and reading the next archive, but it doesn't work either. Does anybody know what is going on?

And sometimes named. And sometimes "the resolver." And sometimes a real pain in the .... :-) But anyway, you set up DNS in the file /etc/resolv.conf. Your file should contain your DNS domain name after the "domain" keyword, and the IP addresses of one or more name servers after each "nameserver" keyword. For example: domain camel.com nameserver 1.2.3.4 nameserver 1.2.3.5 > defaultdomainname=camel.com [my domain name] This is actually the NIS domain name, not the DNS domain name.

This > has been discussed (and fixed) quite a few times recently. Yes, I have. Either it wasn't that recent or the search/index engine was failing me. Searching under "thinkpad", "install", "keyboard" and "boot" only got me indirect references to a custom install floppy. It wasn't until someone else having problems installing 2.1.5 on a think pad told me there was a tpad.flp that I had any useful success with the searches. This floppy does work, but for some reason the one I made with my 2.1.5 system doesn't quite cut it. If I could have some additional search hints it would be appreciated. If there is a fix in the archives, I am missing it. To the best of my knowlege, all I need to do is edit the GENERIC configuration to use pcvt instead of syscons, and make a boot.flp form /usr/src/release. Since this produces a new boot.flp that does indeed use pcvt when it boots, I am at a loss as to what else could be the problem. As I said, the 2.1.0 that Nate put in freefall does boot fine. If it comes down to it, I will install 2.1.0 from my CD's, so it won't be a total loss situation. :-/ cheers, Adrian adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| Support your local programmer, System Administrator --->>>| STOP Software Patent Abuses NOW!

Hmm, I've seen multiple 'interesting' firmware effects happen (including locking things) with Viper 2150s. Like Exabyte, Archive tended to need multiple attempts at getting good firmware. Maybe it is just the Viper/Exa combination that is destined to fail. Does the Exa work without the Vipers?

That seems strange that the swap and ext2fs are on seperate slices. Have you done an 'fdisk wd1' (read-only) to see what slice Linux is on, and then 'disklabel wd1s2' (if that is the slice - also read-only) to see what partition the ext2fs is on? It's been a while since I have done it, and I don't have anything set up now, but I believe that you can see the label on a Linux slice. fdisk will definately tell you which slice it is on though (although it will call it a partition instead of a slice). -- Mark O'Lear \ e-mail: Mark.Olear@Colorado.EDU University of Colorado \ phone: (303) 492-3798 Telecomm.

I don't have any experiences concerning PnP soundcards, but using PnP ethernet cards where it is recommended, to turn off PnP mode on the ethernet card ... Would it perhaps be possible for you to turn off PnP mode on the soundcard and to configure io adresses via the kernel config file ... and as wll on the card with something like a config utility ?!

On my FreeBSD-current system ee is part of the system sources: I'm not sure, but ee should reside on your system in: /usr/bin/ee The sources should be in /usr/src/usr.bin/ee Sure, you could make a symbolic link from /stand/ee to /usr/bin/ee...

Well, you left out one important detail: This appears to be a Orion based Pentium-Pro system, and those are special :) You will need a more recent version of the PCI code than was compiled into the 960801-SNAP. > and then it goes on to the ISA devices. My current FreeBSD system is in > desparate need of upgrade, and I don't want to have to migrate to another > flavor of UNIX. Hints? Suggestions? Yes. Find a more recent boot floppy. There was an announcement of an "unofficial" SNAP a few weeks ago, and that one should fully support your system. (But I can't remember WHO sent that announcement.) If you can move over the AH2940 to some other system for the installation, then this ought to work just fine, too. After finishing the SNAP install, you'll have to rebuild the kernel with more recent PCI code (/sys/pci/pci.c and pcisupport.c). Move over the controller and boot disk to your Compaq after installing the new kernel ... Else, you'll need to build a boot floppy on another system you have access to, or find somebody else to do it for you. (Sorry I can't help with that, currently, for lack of resources ...) I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but while I try to add support for new chip sets as soon as possible, I often don't have access to the hardware or databooks. Orion support was only recently added for that reason (when somebody offered to do the necessary tests and happened to even have a databook :) ...

Having a good tech ref is helpful. If not, here is something to start with. If you have 5 drives (1 primary, and 4 in an extended) you might have problems. First you need space. Unfortunately, the only way to get some free space is to remove one of the logical drives. Easy, right? Yes. Success? No. You must change the size of the extended partition, which contains the logical drives. My experience is that this can be done only by deleting the extended partition, and recreating it. BUT this will delete ALL of your logical drives. I don't know a good way around this, other than doing a full backup of the DOS drives. NOTE -- I never had any luck with FIPS on extended partitions. ALSO VERY VERY VERY important. Keep a DOS BOOT disk handy. You should have a diskedit program too. Norton DE works well. If no disk edit, use a boot sector backup program. Norton Rescue or equivalent (I am not associated with Symantec, however, my $0.02 is that these tools work.) Sometimes the FreeBSD install turns OFF the startable bit in the partition entry list. For More Info consult the MS DOS 6.0 reference. M$ publication.

Both times doing precisely the same thing; installing via ftp, and allowing the "auto" disklabel to name/size or whatever FreeBSD calls it during the process. Since the installation works in all respects EXCEPT booting, the question really is how do I install the boot-manager again, and have it work? I can run it if I boot from floppy, and enter this at the boot: prompt: wd(0,a)/kernel. That works fine and the system runs as expected. So, how do I correct the boot manager problem? I've blown it away with an fdisk /MBR from DOS. I just need to know how to go about reinstalling it.

I am trying to install FBSD 2.1.5 from the Walnut Creek CDROM - onto a new system with NO IDE disk, using a 2.1 GB HP SCSI disk and an NCR 810 SCSI controller ( ASUS SC-200 on ASUS motherboard with NCR scsi bios onboard ) - and a scsi cdrom drive. During kernel boot ( either from a floppy OR from the "view" or "install" files on CDROM subsequent to an initial DOS boot ) the NCR controller IS probed, and the fixed disk and CDROM are reported as being detected - BUT the install script reports that no disks are found as potential targets! I have tried this with all sorts of system-bios settings, i.e. scsi boot before ide, ide controller disabled, etc ... no avail. I have tried both the "novice" and the "expert" menus of the install script, and it always says no disks are found - but the kernel boot progress information says the kernel sees the disks. Ideas? does one NEED an IDE disk to install? the scsi fixed disk has one 12-MB DOS primary partition on it, and one 2000+ MB DOS extended partition. Thank you for help!

I had mgetty/vgetty compiled with the wrong locks setting (should be set to zero). Thanks for all the hints and help. I guess that erroneous setting in the makefile can lead to lots of time wasted troubleshooting a problem.. But after fixing that it seems to work fine now. The only other thing I have not figured out is how to get vgetty to answer first with voice, then fax, and finally data. It does the first two without any problems, but just hangs up after the fax attempt fails. Any hints for this one?

Just because you have a web site does not mean that people will know about it. You have probably found that out by now. The more places that you list your site means more sales. IF PEOPLE CANNOT FIND YOU, THEY CANNOT BUY FROM YOU Let's say, for example, that your company sells baseball cards.You want everyone that is interested in baseball cards on the internet to know about your site.

It is the easiest way to your web site! If your site is not on that list, they don't visit! The more links that exist to your Web-site, the more people will visit. The people that visit your site will most likely return again, and tell others as well.

If you're serious about getting people to your Web-site then you will definitely want to utilize our services. If you are already listed on some of the directories on our lists that is alright.

RIDE THE INTERNET WAVE INTO UNBELIEVABLE PROFITS NOW is the time to act.

In any case, to reinstall the boot manager: 1) If you are running Windows95 or NT, find a DOS disk and boot from it. Win95 and NT lock the MBR while they are running and won't allow you to install the boot manager. 2) On the CDROM in /tools or at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/(2.1.5-RELEASE?)/tools there is a "bootinst.exe" utility and boot.bin file. Run bootinst. 3) Your boot manager is now installed. FreeBSD also provides the OS-BS Boot Manager is booteasy is giving you pains. OS-BS is a bit more robust than booteasy and may help in your situaion where booteasy is having trouble finding & booting your disk.

You're using an old version of FreeBSD if it's asking for a root floppy. :-) Try installing 2.1.5-RELEASE instead, available from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.5-RELEASE/ Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Oct 4 19:55:47 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id TAA21091 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 4 Oct 1996 19:55:47 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id TAA21086 for ; Fri, 4 Oct 1996 19:55:40 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id TAA01299; Fri, 4 Oct 1996 19:55:33 -0700 (PDT) Date: Fri, 4 Oct 1996 19:55:32 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: -Vince- cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: BootEasy In-Reply-To: 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 Thu, 3 Oct 1996, -Vince- wrote: > I am having a problem with booteasy, somehow if I had only two > EIDE drives connected, I would get the [F5] Disk 2 option but once I put > in a third drive, I can't boot but the first drive, does anyone know > what's wrong? Thanks. The PC BIOS only supports booting from two disks. You'd have to use a smarter boot manager (OS/2's Boot Manger may be one of these) or try to move your data onto the third disk so the bootable parts of the systems are viewable from the BIOS.

Use the 'auto' disktype. 'disklabel' is a program that manages the BSD 'partition table' as it were. You have to have a disklabel (which contains various disk info and the actual partitioning of the slice) before you can newfs it because you newfs by partition. Take a look at the disklabel(8) man page for details.

Stop running routed if you don't need it. Routed has a bad habit of deleting the default route. This may have been fixed in 2.2-CURRENT, I know I saw some commit traffic on it some time ago.

Actually, the problem is that if I disabled the third disk, then the system will be able to boot the second disk but if I have the third disk enabled bysetting the secondary drive 1 on my ASUS P55-TP4XE motherboard, it will only show F1 MS-DOS and F2 FreeBSD but no F5 Disk2. Do you know if the commercial program System Commander allows booting from multiple drives? and isn't there a way to make it see the second drive when the secondary controller is enabled since the Intel Triton chipset motherboards all have built in controllers for 4 HDs and CD rom's...

Are you sure it's not a problem with the sources? C++ is a moving target, and it's quite possible that gcc is correct in not compiling them. If not, I'm sure the gcc people would like to know how it breaks.

FreeBSD-current now has gcc 2.7.2.1 and libg++ 2.7.2 if that might be of interest ... If I remember right, some people said on the mailinglists, that some C++ projects are only to handle with gcc-2.7.x. So maybe migrating to -current with an experimental machine might solve your problem ?! I'd simly try it ... -current is stable enough. I run it for months without backups ...

I'm trying, and failing. I can run color_xterm (or rxvt) and use something like color_ls, which works correctly, however Mutt, which is also supposed to use colour, doesn't show the colours. I've posted this query to the Mutt mailing list, and the consensus was that I needed a termcap entry with colour support. Fair enough, but the suggested solutions ('setenv TERM xterm-color', when $TERM is already 'xterm') don't work. Another solution, from Brandon Long, was to use terminfo, with a private terminfo directory pointed to by $TERMINFO. While this approach worked on a SunOS 4.1.3 system which was exhibiting the same problem, it hasn't worked on my stock 2.1.5-RELEASE system. This is not exactly a life threatening problem (), but if anyone's managed to get Mutt and colour working on a FreeBSD system, I'd love to hear from you.

Well, they say misery loves company, so I thought I'd let you know that I'm waiting to see some answer to this one myself! I can't get the damn thing to dial either, and haven't been able to with three different installations. All have different modems, and ports, etc, but on all of them I have to use 'term' mode and manually dial/login to my ISP. There is some magic involved to make it work apparently, and its not intuitively obvious to the most casual observer... :) Linux PPP, with all its problems with it being a moving target is far superior to this as far as I can see.

I think you can every time compile and install a newer gcc release in parallel to the normal system compiler. remove /usr/bin/gcc and compile and install the gcc version you like to /usr/local/bin ...

Thats what I have to do after using term mode to connect to my ISP and have started a PPP connect. In my case, I have to use term, as I haven't been able to make sense out of the ppp.conf or get it working properly. Can't even get it to dial. So I use term mode to start up PPP. The last command is the add 0 0 HISADDR at the prompt. If I don't do that, I have no route. Once that is done, everything works. So I think that may be what you need to do. The same thing happens to me if I don't. Sounds exactly what is happening in your case. Good luck!

Well, I guess it must be the X server that you are using. The XF86_SVGA and XF86_S3 have no problems with Java. You can verify that it not a FreeBSD problem by making a Xwindows session with xwin (the windows 95 xwindows server) on another machine (set the display variable and run netscape remote). If it does not display properly on xwin then it most likely is a setup problem in Netscape. Xwin worked with Java even when FreeBSD 2.1 was not able to do it. > > Mike > > ~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~ > Syn-Work Media, Inc. | WWW Development & Hosting | Life Safety > http://www.synwork.com | Systems Integration | CCTV > mike@synwork.com | Voice/Data/Fiber | Access Control > Flaq on IRC | Dukane Distributor | BICSI/RCDD > :|:|:|: Powered By FreeBSD :|:|:|: > Turning PC's Into Workstations > ~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~ > ---- || Shoppers Network BEST PRICES, FULLY x86 COMPATIBLE & FAST!!! || PO BOX 16627 Cyrix 686s now available! || San Francisco, CA 94116 Email - info@shoppersnet.com | ------------------------------> WWW - http://www2.shoppersnet.com -------------------------------> WWW - http://www.shoppersnet.com/shopping From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Oct 5 12:29:17 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id MAA03887 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 5 Oct 1996 12:29:17 -0700 (PDT) Received: from scooter.quickweb.com (scooter.quickweb.com [199.212.134.8]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA03811; Sat, 5 Oct 1996 12:26:52 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (mark@localhost) by scooter.quickweb.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id PAA00426; Sat, 5 Oct 1996 15:26:14 -0400 Date: Sat, 5 Oct 1996 15:26:13 -0400 (EDT) From: Mark Mayo X-Sender: mark@scooter.quickweb.com To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org cc: freebsd-current@freebsd.org Subject: Java,Netscape, & AccelX Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi all, I still haven't got Java working under Netscape 3.0 yet, and I thought maybe somebody has already dealt with this problem. First of all, I run the August 2.2-SNAP, on a PPRO 150, with a Matrox Millenium video card. To get the Matrox working I bought the AcceleratedX server from Xinside -- I think this may be the problem. When I hit a java applet, the browser leaves space for the applet, but it never actually displays. However, when I set my display over to my 486 win95 machine (running eXceed 5) the java applets show up just fine... which pretty much means my X server is the cause of my problems, no? When I installed the AccelX server, I only had one problem - it couldn't find libc.so.2.2 -> so I linked it to /usr/lib/libc.so.3.0. Everything seemed fine.. the X server ran with no problems, and I was amazed at the performance of AccelX!! Until it wouldn't show Java, that is :-) So, after it displayed on the PC, I grabbed the older libc.so.2.2 from the 2.1.5 CD and threw it in /usr/lib. I rebooted and the system seemed to come up fine. But still no Java -- plus, now when I display to the PC, I don't get Java either, and the JDK appletviewer doesn't work.. So I quickly put the link from libc.so.2.2 -> lib.so.3.0 back and now I'm back to the original problem. I'm guessing it's some sort of clash between libc.so and the AccelX server -- am I correct in assuming this? Someone please tell me they've solver this problem and that I'm not a random incident with no hope... I'm contacting Xinside as well, but I believe they only support up to v2.1R.

I recently upgraded two machines from 2.1.0-RELEASE to 2.1.5-STABLE. I used CTM and it was actually quite painless. You just have to download 20-25 megs, run it through CTM, and that'll give you a new source tree. Do a "make world" (should go down to single-user for this) and compile a new kernel, and you're done. Be sure to consult the handbook for details.

The following is quoted from the RELNOTES.TXT file somewhere around ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-2.1.5-RELEASE (or something like that). I deleted all but the pertinent information. I don't know if the ftp-mail thingy will work. They're not joking when they say "only as a last resort", so I suspect it's never been tested for a long long time (if ever). Your ftp may be faster if you use a mirror instead. Alternatively, you could buy a CD from WC, or the local computer store _might_ have one. -- For other locations that mirror the FreeBSD software see the file MIRROR.SITES. Please ftp the distribution from the site closest (in networking terms) to you. Additional mirror sites are always welcome! Contact admin@freebsd.org for more details if you'd like to become an official mirror site. If you do not have access to the internet and electronic mail is your only recourse, then you may still fetch the files by sending mail to `ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com' - putting the keyword "help" in your message to get more information on how to fetch files using this mechanism. Please do note, however, that this will end up sending many *tens of megabytes* through the mail and should only be employed as an absolute LAST resort! 2.

I used to have the same problem getting Java to work in Netscape (blank space for applets), this time I installed Netscape from the port (instead of manually) and received the following message: Note: If Java applets fail to display. Type this as root: cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc /usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir chmod 444 fonts.dir And then exit and restart your X server. I tried that, and lo and behold, it worked! It seems that Netscape needs particular font aliases that for some reason XFree86 didn't define properly. Mkfontdir fixed the problem for XFree86, perhaps it can help Accelerated-X? -- Jake From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Oct 5 21:44:47 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id VAA11040 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 5 Oct 1996 21:44:47 -0700 (PDT) Received: from scooter.quickweb.com (scooter.quickweb.com [199.212.134.8]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id VAA11009; Sat, 5 Oct 1996 21:44:29 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (mark@localhost) by scooter.quickweb.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id AAA01136; Sun, 6 Oct 1996 00:44:24 -0400 Date: Sun, 6 Oct 1996 00:44:23 -0400 (EDT) From: Mark Mayo X-Sender: mark@scooter.quickweb.com To: SysAdmin cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org, freebsd-current@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: Java,Netscape, & AccelX In-Reply-To: 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 Sat, 5 Oct 1996, SysAdmin wrote: > On Sat, 5 Oct 1996, Mark Mayo wrote: > > > > > Hi all, I still haven't got Java working under Netscape 3.0 yet, and I > > thought maybe somebody has already dealt with this problem. > > > > Someone please tell me they've solver this problem and that I'm not a > > random incident with no hope...

I was just praying someone else is having similar problems and has come up with a solution. Also, does anyone run AcceleratedX 1.3 on a 2.1.5 system (and can successfully run Java applets in Netscape)??
