Ok I am trying to install 386BSD using the dist.fs disk..finally got a copy that
would boot.  Now in the install notes it says:

	Note, if the system does not find the ethernet card in the bootstrap
	manifest, this will not work.

Well I did not see any mention of my ethernet card when it booted, just my 
com1, and console and floppy.  I have a western Digital ethernet card I believe
the model is WD803 or wd003 (something like that).  Anyone got any suggestions?

Steve

PS also for the FTP stuff it says to enter :
	ifconfig <enet device> ....  I am assuming the enet device would be located
	in /dev/whatever if my ethernet card was detected.

I don't know about that.  gcc, gas, GNU make, the GNU binutils (and,
perforce, the GNU BFD library) can all be built in a POSIX-only environment.
(They can do this, partially, because they supply lots of what the need, but
that's okay.)

Those are real applications, after all.

Hi,

I suppose others besides myself have noticed that 386bsd 0.1 is one
hour off on telling the time.  Over here, even though the localtime
is linked to pacific New, it's one hour ahead of the correct time.

I looked a bit closer, and found the other timezone stuff, and also
linked /etc/localtime to GMT in both timezone directories, including
the "right" one (whether that's really right is debatable). :)  It
shows GMT as being one hour ahead as well.

So, localtime is right in the fact that it's 7 hours behind GMT, which
is what it is here, but if GMT is off, what then?  I also tried UTC
and it's also one hour ahead.

The RT BSD serial driver, which is extremely similar to the 386bsd one, had
a similar problem.  Our first solution was a timeout, but eventually
the problem was found (interrupts were not disabled in a certain place) and
SLIP has worked correctly since with the timeout code removed.  It
is much better to solve the actual problem than to put in a timeout.
Depending on how often you have to fall back on the timeout, throughput can
suffer, especially at speeds >= 57600.

Here it goes again:
I have had problems while having the system configured to mount a SCSI

activity, causing large amounts of swapping such as compiling with 'gcc',
the SCSI drive will go idle, and the IDE drive will pause for up to 10
seconds with the activity light (on the IDE) on and steady. The SCSI drive
will find itself without any more IO requests, and will shortly after
auto park itself. When the IDE comes back to life, it will be a gradual
return to frenzies activity...

Note that since I reinstalled 386BSD from scratch, this time *NOT* applying

Fine.

trn (without networking) compiles without anything other than what is given
in POSIX (if you throw in a termcap library, which can easily be provided
with it and considered "part of the application").  And, last time I
checked, trn was an application, even more so than a compiler and whatnot
are.

The {t,n}roff macros for manual pages in 4.3-reno are significantly
different from those in 4.3 (and other systems). The only way to
format them is to get also the -man macros. (I don't now if these are

I can see that the files are there.

After untarring, is there anything else to be done?

I have not yet rebuilt the kernel.  Could that be the problem?

How about BSD?  By the same argument, the place need not have anything to

 . . .

The problem with `386bsd' is that the name is inherently confusing.  The
casual reader will not be able to distinguish it from BSDI nor from the
many other x86 commercial Unixes.

In addition, there is already discussion of a 680X0-based version of
this system.  This makes the name `386bsd' even more troublesome.

I would strongly suggest forming comp.unix.freebsd.  The name more
correctly indicates the purpose, and as appropriate variants emerge
it can develop subgroups rationally.

I started tn3270 to connect to an IBM host on the internet. The echo
behaviour seems to be strange - I don't get anything reasonable to see
on the screen. (dark, no echo) Unless I type ^C very often. Then I get
a flashing tn3270> prompt and if I press ^C often enough I can also abort

I am having quite serious problems actually, whenever I start the X-server, the
system crashes. (this is when using the version from incoming).  The system
crash is usually in a place totally unrelated to the X-windowing, parts of the
kernel. This occurs with both my own kernel (fixes for more memory than 8Mb plus
all fixes supplied with the Xfree86 distribution) and the kernel supplied
with Xfree86.

My configuration of system is like this:
	486-50 (unkown brand)

	Adaptec 1542b
	400 Mbyte Micropolis disk
	ET4000 VGA-adapter supporting up to 1280x1024x4 and 1024x756x8
		(probably 1152x900 too)
	Genius 3-button mouse

If anyone has any idea where I can start looking for the problem I should
really appreciate any help. (I don't mind a bit of kernel-hacking, but I am
very busy at work right now, so hobby projects like this is on low priority).

I've just tried installing 386BSD on my system.  I'm using dist.fs
from the cgw newbootables, because I've got 16MB of memory.  I have a
DOS partition, an extended DOS partition, and a 386BSD partition.  I
made the 386BSD partition under Linux (which is hiding in the extended
DOS partition), setting the partition type to a5.  The install appears
to work, but when I try to boot from the disk, I get "no operating
system".  This is a 486 with AMI BIOS.  I had been using shoelace to
boot Linux, but in case that was the trouble, I put back a DOS MBR
using fdisk /mbr and redid everything.  I still get the same result.
Any idea what is going on?
