Any help with the following would be appreciated.

Problem 1:  Sending mail works, but always produces the
             message "Cannot read frozen config file".

Problem 2:  I have a terminal connected via a null-modem
             cable to com2.  The finger, who, and uptime
             commands show only the user logged on to the

YAF (Yet another FAQ (frequently asked question)).

1. Format a 3,5" floppy to 1.44MB.
2. Get rawrite.exe.
3. Get dist.fs (which is 1,2MB in size)
4. copy with rawrite dist.fs to the floppy from 1.
5. Boot 386bsd from this floppy.

Rawrite writes data to the first 15 sectors of a track and ignores 
the remaining 3 sectors of a track a 3,5" disk has in addition.
From the moment the boot sector of the disk has taken control, everything
is done by direct control of the FDC registers, which do not care about
the exact layout.

I too am having trouble with this.  I've wiped and reinstalled DOS and 	
OS/2 several times.  I was hoping to use the OS/2 Bootmanager to control	which os comes up.  Someone posted a note a few weeks back explaining that
the BIOS does geometry translation on drives larger than about 300MB (1024
cylanders) which confuses things.  The thing to do is use your CMOS setup
software to configure the drive for its real geometry.  Then DOS only sees
the first 1024 cyl. of the disk, and you can put 386BSD at the end.  That's
where I am now, but haven't had time to reinstall BSD (last delay was that
my memory died, and I had to wait for new SIMMS which arrived today).
I have a Maxtor LXA535A, and downloaded their low-level format program
and ran it on my disk just to make sure things were ok after changing the
BIOS settings.

This is a rather confusing procedure, esp. since there are no good partitioning
tools that recognize the operating systems involved.

In the same vein (bleading edge of technology!), remember Leor's 11 pass
C compiler (BDS C)? Needed 31K. And was the fastest compiler I'd ever seen.
The guy admitted he knew nothing about compiler design, so he wrote it
the way he thought it should work.

Distribution: comp.unix.bsd
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 1992 07:10:07 GMT


	X11R5 S3 Server 0.0 for 386bsd 0.1 



The S3 server is based upon Kevin Martin's IBM 8514/a server.

The S3 server  has not been integrated with XFree86, yet.

This release does not include fonts nor clients,
it is expected that you have installed Xfree86 or
X386.

Your Xfree86 or X386 clients will work the S3 server.


Maximum resolution available with the S3 server is 1024x768
this is because we are using the rest of the memory for
pixmap and font cache. The cache is totally transparent
to the application. This release has the font cache 
disable because I have not been able to get it to work so
far. The result is that the text scrolling is slow  with
the cache enable exposing a window is almost too fast
for the eye to see. 

Currently, the server upon exiting does not restore 
the screen back to text. This problem is expected to
be solved within a week.

I am not including sources with this release but
will make my work available to those who which so. 
The server is in a very early stage and expect it to be vastly
improved in less than a month. There will be interim
releases till then.

The S3 server has been tested with the following resolutions:

	640x480
	800x600
	1024x768

My modeDB entries for the Orchid's Farenheit 1280:


 "640x480"   0     640  672  768  800    480  490  492  525
 "800x600"   3      800  824  896 1024    600  601  603  625
 "1024x768i" 5    1024 1064 1224 1264    768  776  785  817   Interlace

The S3 server has been tested on  Orchid's Farenheit 1280
and Actix's GraphicsEngine.

The following timing information was obtained from Actix's Director
of Marketing. Actix's clock synthetizer is Chrontel CH9204 version c


Actix's timing code:

For some of the codes there are two frequencies, I just
don't know which one is the right frequency. If for
your board you can determine that the second frequency
is the correct one for the given hex code, then use
the second choice for the rest of the frequencies.

I expect to build the 8514/a server for 386bsd 0.1 sometime
this week.

I need an FTP site where I can ftp the S3 server because
my internet service, netcom, does not provide such service.

Enjoy,

Having reinstalled everything I've got another corrupted directory that

After installing all the dist sets I config a kernel, called MYRDDIN. I
then make the kernel in the MYRDDIN directory, mv the kernel to /, sync
the system and reboot and bang, corrupted directory that can't be fixed.

It wasn't the first kernel build I'd done in the directory so I don't
know what caused it to get corrupted. I'm getting the same error from
fsck, I OUT OF RANGE and it's still core dumping.

Does anyone know how I can repair this directory. I really don't want to
re-install everything AGAIN. It's taken 3-4 hours.

Ganz einfach: simply try using malloc() and free() within kernel:-)
386bsd has a new-style kernel memory allocator, somewhere in the sources
(never ask me) you'll find a comment. If you're interested in more, i
can email you my lp driver which allocates some kernel buffers.

The presence of a 387 will make no difference.  The speed of the processor
isn't very important since the limiting factor is the bandwidth of the
stupid PC bus.  On a machine with a local bus to the video card performance
is fine, but with a vanilla SVGA on the ISA bus it's pretty poor.

Regardless of human perception, there's an advantage in the simplicity
of allocating 8 bits each to red, green and blue.  And such a 24-bit
system doesn't need a 24-bit *DAC* - it has separate 8-bit ones for each
colour.

I seem to recall there were supposed to be official patches sent out before
that.

You probably should be more detailed to get any useful help.

Greetings,

	Somebodyhelpmeplease!!!!!!

	I spent a few day trying to get 386bsd on a Compudyne 486/33
one IDE drive that all DOS, and a SCSI drive for 386bsd.

I got past the problems with partitioning and all that, and finally got the
bin01 stuff in the /tmp directory.  When I run extract, it tells me that ALL of
the bin01.* files is corrupt, and doesn't go any further.  I downloaded
everything as binary, and am really at a loss at what to do next.

I'm booting from a minimal hard disk distibution, there is not much on
the system to help me. ( I know DOS much better that *nix )

	What do I do ?  Format the SCSI drive as a second DOS disk ? :-)

					Thanks and regards,
					Peter
