Date: Thu, 19 Nov 1992 00:31:08 GMT

Hi,

I have the following problem:

After installing Julian Elischers scsi system and building a new
kernel I only get the message    "cmd fail"     (aha1542.c).

The LED of the Adaptec Hostadapter is on. When I open/close the
SCSI-Streamer I miss the typical sound of a rewinding tape.

My configuration:
80486, SCSI Quantum HD, SCSI Tandberg-Stramer
Patchkit (58) & keycap-0.1.1 installed

Anybody solved this problem?

Grusz,   Guido

Summary: Help on the "startart" problem
Keywords: "startart" , 386BSD , ne200

As the subject says, I have the "startart" problem.  No space for sources
so that kernel recompliation is out ( until I can get NFS up ). Now about
that IRQ solution; the Instalation Notes say that ne2000's take IRQ 2. 
Well... what the heck!  IRQ 3 -> "st"  better!  just one "st" per event
                        IRQ 4 -> "st"  same     just one "st" per event
                        IRQ 5 -> "st"  same :-( still one "st" per event

Thus I am left to beg a recompiled kernel, or other information, to
get NFS up and running.

If this is to FAQ'is I apologize.  Pleas send me e-mail if that is 
appropriate.  I will sumarize.

Thanks in advance.

I have a problem with the 3c503 ethernet card and 386bsd 0.1:
No-matter what I do, I can't get it to work. This is what happens:

[The steps below are all performed with all patches applied.]

1) The card is recognized by the probe function.

	ec0 address 02:60:8c:4d:ee:4f at 0x250 irq 9 on isa

   [I've even tried to move the card to interrupt 5 - but it didn't
    make any difference.]

2) I can use ifconfig to configure the ethernet address of the card

	ifconfig ec0 inet 130.227.32.11

   [I have removed the dreadful 'printf("ecinit");' from if_ec.c, so
    no messages here :->]

3) netstat -i hangs!

4) ping any.machine.in.domain doesn't get through - neither from this
   machine, nor to the machine.


The million dollar question now is: What happens here? What have I
done wrong? Somebody else must be using this card; what have you done?

I've been using bash for a while as my root shell on SunOS 4.1.2, and
I haven't had any incompatibility problems. Apart from using builtin
identifiers as function names or creating files with metacharacters
in their names, has anyone out there found any sh-dependent code?
sh seems quite robust, and bash seems a very accurate superset.

a friend of mine who works at TFS just bumped the serial number up again

Hi all.

I got the sources for XFree 86, and I uncopressed it and detarred it
in accordance with the readme file.  Everything went fine.

When I went to run x386install   it gave me the following error:

[:No match

No matter what I do I get this error.  Needless to say I am frustrated.
It took forever to FTP 20 megs worth of stuff to have it not work.

Any remedy would be appreciated...

You can also use GNU make, which has inbuilt support for RCS files,
should you want to use RCS for something other than the system source
tree.  It would admittedly be a bit of work to get the system sources
to compile with something other than BSD make..

Hi!  Recently there was a discussion about replacing the current 386bsd man with

it yet).

However, I have come to really like the perl rewrite of man Tom did for Convex
machines.  Has anyone brought this to 386bsd already?  If not, I will do it but
I currently have 102% on my 386bsd disk :-)

How about a man01 distribution?

Hi.
 1) recompile or get a not-stripped kernel;
 2) If youre kernel is not stripped, then install the orig.386bsd:
    it is the compiled kernel obtained from a "make", before
    symorder -t runs.
    It will work

The S3 911/924 architecture supports 32 bit operations only via vga banking.
We found out that vga banking was faster than i/o via the S3 register
transfer which is 16 bit wide. Operations which did not required the
use of the extended features provided by the S3 chipset were replaced
by vga banking. XS3-0.2a will only work with the 911/924 and not with
the 801/805. The 801 chipset is the isa version and the 805 is the
local bus as well as EISA chipset which has one additional register to perform 
32 bit operations via the S3 register transfer. 

Both 801 and 805 are capable of mapping 2MB of memory to the PC. Thus,
eliminating the need for vga banking. The kernel not does support yet
the ability to map upto 2MB of video memory. Also, one should ensure that
the card can perform the function. Don't have a list yet and is not
clear that this would be a big performance improvement for the XS3
server,except when doing massive i/o operations such as in motion. 
One loses more performance when doing block image transfers. Of course,
there are cases of block image transfer which can be optimized.

XS3-0.3 which I am using right now with Actix's 801 will work with 
the 911,924,801 and the 805.  However it is not ready for general
release yet. I do expect to finish soon.

If any of you are interested in enhancing XS3 you are welcome.

In order to program the S3 you need to get yourself familiar with vga
programming, 8514/a programming as well as S3. The S3 is
a combination of an 8514/a and vga. The 8514/a side of the S3
is not quite 8514/a register compatible.

Here is a list for your reading pleasure:

   The sofware library is for DOS, but by the examples one can
   learn

2. Graphics Programming for the 8514/a by Jake Richter and

Need to compile lpt.c . I recommend wolf's lpt.c which does not use interrupt.

I do not have this problem.

recompile a new one. get it from etcdist

get a generic Xconfig like my Xconfig.idiot.
try X386 >& error
and read error to find out the error messages.

Subject: [386BSD] SCSI Bootstrap Method?
Organization: NAS, NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA
Date: Mon, 16 Nov 92 06:08:31 GMT

I need to find out how to bootstrap 386bsd, given a machine which only
has a SCSI hard disk.  When Julian Elischer posted his SCSI driver
code, I thought I had it made, but I haven't been able to get past the
need for a SCSI capable bootable filesystem diskette.  I've searched
agate.berkeley.edu and ref.tfs.com, and haven't found a suitable *.fs
file on either.  I need help!

In addition to its SCSI hard disk, my machine also has the usual
diskettes (1.44 MB and 1.2 MB), a tape, COM ports and LPT ports, but
the only kind of hard disk it has is SCSI.  It is an EISA bus machine,
and the SCSI host bus adapter is an Adaptec 1740.

Am I missing an obvious bootstrap method?  Does my desired *.fs file
already exist anywhere?  Come to think of it, is there a BIOS ROM *.fs
file anywhere?  It would be absurd as a running system, but potentially
useful for bootstrapping.  How has 386bsd been brought up on other SCSI
machines?  Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
