(No one responded first time.  Micronics 486VL won't boot from floppy).

You need the patch provided by "someone"@kithrup.com.  (sorry, the
mail is somewhere else).  It changes the bit pattern that we are
waiting to show up in one of the floppy control registers.  Here
is the binary differences for dist.fs and fixit.fs:

molly% cmp -l dist.fs pdist.fs
   336   6   7
molly% cmp -l fixit.fs pfixit.fs
   336   6   7

The text was also posted but I don't have that here.

You will also want to rebuild using the patches to get a reliable
system.  One annoying bug after that is that the console will frequently
not respond unless you

A. Hit return while the system is coming up or
B. Somehow log in (e-net or serial) and "su".

I don't think either of these problems has shown up in the official bug
list.

I'll send in bug reports as soon as I track down the e-mail with the
fix listing.

It might be in the FAQ.  The FAQ is unofficial and is not posted
here very often.  Look for it at agate.berkeley.edu in

You certainly need a partition for 386BSD and another for DOS & Windows3.1.
I thought that OS/2 also required its own partition.  386BSD will work
within the DOS partitioning scheme or you can dedicate an entire drive to
it.  Currently, it must still boot from the first drive (actually, I think
there was a project to lift this restiction, but I do not know if it has been
completed).

I heard that the IDE drives are tricky to configure for 386BSD.  Check the FAQ
to see if there is any info on this.

You can certainly use FDISK to change the active partition bits to 
select between the O/Ss, but a more convenient solution would be a boot menu
program.  I use OS-BS (agate.berkeley.edu in
/pub/386BSD/386bsd-0.1/unofficial/terry/os-boot-select).  It gives me a 
menu a boot time to select between the O/Ss.

Terry & Luigi, I had the same problem recently.  I chased it down to an
export problem on the file system thatbsd was trying to mount.  My memory
on the net says "386bsd doesn't do secure NFS mount".  Is that true?  I
changed my /etc/exports file of the "host system" from:

/users    dragon
to:
/users

and everything now works fine!  Just my $0.02 worth ...Mark

I have managed to get 386BSD 0.1 booted on my Micronics 486DX33 ISA/VL-Bus
motherboard.

It would not boot with any of the available boot floppies.  In all cases
it gave the same behaviour: the floppy drive light would come on, the
floppy would spin, but the floopy drive never seeked, and no messages
appeared on the screen.

After much trial and error experimentation, I determined that it was
going into an infinite loop in the fdboot code.  It repeatedly reads
a programmable interrupt controller register waiting for the value 6
to appear.  On my machine, it never does, instead the value 7 appears
in the controller register.  After patching binaries to check for 7
instead of 6, I was able to successfully boot both the dist.fs and
fixit.fs floppies.  I don't know whether this is the correct change.
The correct fix may be that this low bit should be masked out before
the comparion.  I don't have any info on the PIC chip, so I can't
tell which is the better solution.

I have a second problem now, in that about half the time after the
machine boots, it won't respond to the keyboard, but you can login
across the network fine.  This was much more common when booting from
floppies than it is when booting from the harddisk.  I do not know
the solution for this but will probably investigate it when I have
the time.

To patch a boot floppy, edit a *.fs file with emacs, seach for
the string '<^F', and change the ^F to a ^G.  This change will enable
a boot floopy to boot on a Micronics 486VL motherboard, but I haven't
tested it on any other machine.

I did not try it, but the following should work, if you have a 3.5 floppy drive
on your Sparcstation (don't know much about the 3/x0, although it should work
an any UN*X system).

Just use "cp" to write the file to the floppy device /dev/fd0.
If that fails, try "dd if=dist.fs of=/dev/fd0".
That's about it.

Hope this helps,

Norbert.

The patch that several people mentioned to me in mail and via posts
to make 386BSD work on my Gateway VL-Bus system worked great.  I changed
the value expected from the floppy drive from 06 to 07 and it booted
fine.  Thanks mucho.

Now, another question.  I've been reading about problems with 386BSD
and MS-DOS coexisting on the same IDE drive.  Is this still a problem with
0.1?  Will the patches (all 58 or so of them) help?

While you are completing xview, could you also port UIT (User

By having UIT it will give us the ability to write xview programs

Is there some propaganda someone can email me, please?  

Thanks very much.

BTW, PLEASE email me rather than post.  I don't have this newsgroup on my feed.

  Just a few of points before I ask whether or not Linux
has a feature I've seen in others UN*Xs:
- either of the free UN*Xs has it's merits, and the fact that
  both are free and net.supported is the biggest advantage I've
  ever seen.
- some of the most unbiased and logical opinions about both OSs
  in c.u.bsd and c.o.linux have come from Linus himself...
- I ran Linux 0.95 for a time when I was OS-swapping but dropped
  it for a couple of reasons (which are now invalid - mainly
  14 char filenames and the fact that at that time, you had to
  have the time to follow many different releases - which I didn't)
  I switched to 386BSD 0.1 3 months ago, have had almost no probs with
  it on a no-name motherboard 6MB 386-sx with a 32MB/90MB dos/unix
  partition. BUT, I hold no particular bias towards either (I just
  haven't had the time to switch back to linux for a look :)
- I intend to revamp at the release of 0.2, or January next year,
  whichever comes first. If 0.2 isn't out by then, or doesn't have
  those nice shared libraries (which are apparantly easy to do with
  gcc 2.3.1), I'll go back to Linux. Infact, I might have enough
  HD space to run BOTH!

Enuf ranting, my question is: does linux have kconfig (will 386BSD
get it)? How hard is it to integrate into the system?.
FYI: kconfig is a program on A/UX (No flames about macs - I use
all kinda platforms) which allows you to say, increase the # of
pty's and reboot, and voila! you've got 'em. Quite handy.
So, is it there on Linux? Is it possible on 386BSD

Luke.

I saw some mentioning of Xview lately.

   o how much has been ported?

   o Where is the site carrying the port?

   o Is the olwm Window Manager available?
