...wich, of course, raises the question what on earth happened to good old
in-filesystem /boot that you would hit return at or give the device, partition

Is it some sort of superset of wdboot/bootwd or is that parentage disclaimed ?

XS3 has been known to work with many S3 based cards including an
S3 local bus card. I have tested XS3 with Orchid's Farenheit 1280
and Actix's GraphicEngine. XS3 will not work with programmable
clock synthetizers such as found with in the Diamond Stealth.


So far only one clone card has been reported that it didn't
work with XS3 and probably the reason is because it used
a programmable clock synthetizer.

S3 chipsets  come  basically in three flavors:
(1) 911 slowest chipset
(2) 924
(3) 801 fastest chipset 

To put things in perspective, Jon Tomb's Actix 911 clocked in
at 38k xstones and his new F1280 clocked in at 48k xstones.

Orchid has an F1280 model with sells for $198 or less.

Overall performance of the 801 is about %50 faster than a 924.
I am putting the finall touches for the 801 server and  it should be
ready in a day or so.

The 801 should be cheaper than a 911 or 924. 

So far it is not clear that a local bus S3 card is faster than
an ISA S3 card.

Here are my xbench results so far for my S3 801 server:

TOTAL     81455 lineStones
TOTAL     59263 fillStones
TOTAL expected     50898 blitStones
TOTAL   2018667 arcStones
TOTAL     90625 textStones
TOTAL     97647 complexStones
TOTAL expected     74952 xStones

I didn't run all the tests due to not having a large swap space.

When I am done I expect to be 3 times faster than a sun
workstation IPC without a GX. The IPC's clock in at 24k xstones.



I have tested my server under xview, gwm and twm, and I have not
seen any problems. Additionally, XS3 is known to work with Motif.

We fixed ALL reported problems with XS3.
One last note, XS3-0.2a passed all x11perf tests without crashing 
and is about %20 faster on overall performance than XS3-0.1.

Hope this helps,

Organization: University of Oldenburg, Germany
Date: Mon, 23 Nov 1992 13:21:14 GMT


Last weekend I tried to install 386bsd on my new IBM Silverdisk 2 (1,2 GB).
I know that my Adaptec 1542b translates the disk geometry for DOS to a
maximum of 64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 1023 cylinders, so that I can not
use my disk under DOS without modifikation of the Controller BIOS but I
thought that it would be no problem to install a Unix on the disk.

The `install' command crashed with a comment of `Wrong disk geometry'
controller error, or something like that.

Is it possible that the SCSI-driver I have on my dist.fs bootdisk works
in translated mode so that he cannot access disks with more than 1GB?

Where can I get either a newer dist.fs (SCSI-driver) or an image to burn
a new Controller BIOS, or is there anything else I did wrong?

For some reason, this didn't work correctly for me.  I've had no problems

I've already got the XFree working. I would be happy to share my

	xinit >& err;sync

then you will you some error messages that you don't see on the screen by 
catting the file "err." In my case, I found out the permission of my mouse 
port (com1) and the font path were not set properly.

After doing that, if you still have problem running it, contact me if
you would. I would do my best to help you out if I could. I have to tell
you though, I am totally a beginner myself.

The stock ifconfig program assumes you will be using the BNC

install ifconfig with patch #35 installed.  Then add "aui" to your
ifconfig line in /etc/netstart; e.g.
ifconfig ec0 1.2.3.4 aui up
or something like that.

This seems to be a very common (and might I say frustrating) problem.

>Does anyone know the difference between BSD's dist.fs and

The main difference is, that 386bsd is running fully in protected mode
from the moment the boot sector of the disk or floppy has been read in.
That means, that there is no help from any BIOS or ROM to do any
initialization that is not done by the power-on-self-test or the ROM
bootstrap loader.
LINUX, instead follows the old tradition of Minix, and switches to
protected mode very late, when the whole kernel image has been loaded. This
allows for instance the switch to high resolution video modes (this is
available by the SVGA BIOS), which must be done by real register programming
in 386bsd. Once some code for this has been written for 386bsd, it can be used
universally, without any messing around with a VM86 syscall.

The above is the main reason for the "fewer" problems with Linux boot, 
once you are in protected mode, Linux is no better than 386bsd.

Although I am not Bill, I think that this makes no difference.

I compiled init_main.c with the old (1.39) cc.  ___main does indeed
come from libgcc2.  A call to ___main() (__main() in libgcc2.c) is placed into
any main() routines gcc 2.x.x finds (Had the same problem with 2.2.2) during
compilation.

Also - DO KEEP YOUR ORIGINAL WORKING KERNEL AROUND.  The easiest place to
leave it is /386bsd.alt.  This way, if you have problems with the old 
kernel, you can just hit a key (okay, maybe you need to do it a few times)
to get the bootstrap loader to look for alternate kernels.  If I remember
correctly (from wdboot.c), the order is:

/386bsd /386bsd.alt /386bsd.old /vmunix /boot

there are problems with this: notably, straight bsd systems
aren't "meant" to mount /usr when they're brought up into single user
mode.

i assume you're running with / and /usr physically residing in the same
partition.  otherwise, i don't see how this could work -- sh is in
/bin, so you couldn't even run /etc/rc, if / and /usr were in different
partitions.

I think any Sun admin who saw you running with / and /usr in the same
partition would die laughing.

there are many more changes which are necessary to move stuff
from /bin into /usr/bin, and make it 'stick' properly.

I had this problem too.. what I did was set my name server upstream until
it showed up.  The problem is that one of my servers upstream (cc.weber.edu)
is incorrectly configured to not pass on non-authoritative answers.  This
could be your problem, especially if you have a Multinet host upstream.

This may be correctable via workaround from Julian's end by uping the time

the daughter card slots on the rear of a pc.  Such a device would be
used for taking an external SCSI bus internal.

Summary: looking for ethernet driver

Does anyone have a driver for an Intel 82586 based ethernet board?
 I know about Terry's starlan driver, but the source code doesn't
seem to be available and it does not recognize this AT&T Starlan
(fiber optic media)
 I also know about the Mach3 if_pc586 ethernet driver, but I have not
succeeded in getting the port to work. (It finds the card, boots, but
after that there are many calls to the hwrst routine in the driver)
