The best may be the Actix S3 based card Amancio has mentioned.  The S3
port is new and other than Actix I haven't heard anyone mention
various cards work.  Diamond doesn't of course.

I use an ET4000 card since that is what is officially supported by
XFree86 currently.  In the ET4000 cards, the best value for you money
is problably an off brand with 1Mb memory.  Compu-Tek Int'l at

You need to get a null modem cable and some terminal emultion software
for your laptop.  Then you need to edit the /etc/ttys file and configure
the com1 or com2 entry (whatever you are using) to run a getty process
on that port.  The man page on getty and/or ttys will probably explain
the syntax better then me.  I know it works though.  I have used both
a Wyse 50 terminal and an IBM XT running ProComm to access 386BSD from
a serial port.

mdir (and some other mtools) try to open several device nodes sub-

would work fine then.

I had this same problem ( cmd fail) yesterday,too  : I tried to install the scsibeta3  package that Julian posted a few weeks ago. 

After that had failed I logged into ref.tfs.com, went into julians 'living room', (he was out :-) , tar/compressed all .shar files and transfered them 
to my home system, went into /sys, and untared directly into the dirs of the
kern,i386,scsi sources. After that I rebuilt the kernel from a clean
directory (make clean, make depend, make) and had a working system again.

I am using the new boot-blocks from Julian and with those it is possible
to select (read: type in) any file to boot, at least in the root directory
and even choose the drive (wd or sd).

That might be the answer !

Norbert.
PS.
I know that it works, I had to do it a few days ago, to boot an old kernel
because the serial drivers from cgd did hang my system and I want to test
the serial ports with the old kernel. It is always a good idea to SAVE the
old, working, kernel before moving the new one on top of it.

Summary: Fix allows Kermit to run SUID, comments solicited.
Keywords: Kermit 386BSD SUID
Organization: Northwest Nexus Inc. (206) 455-3505
Date: Tue, 17 Nov 1992 06:25:42 GMT

Has anyone else tried to make Kermit run SUID uucp under 386BSD ?
Here's a fix I had to make to get it working the way I wanted.
I'm using the newly released version 5A(186) from watsun.cc.columbia.edu.
(You can find it in /kermit/bin/cku186.tar.Z.)

This is what seems like the proper setup to me:

    chown uucp kermit           # uucp owns kermit ...
    chown uucp /dev/com*        #  ... and the serial ports ...
    chown uucp /var/spool/uucp  #  ... and the lock directory.
    chmod u+s  kermit           # Kermit runs SUID uucp

However, I found that on startup, Kermit trys to open /dev/tty
to get the tty modes, and the open() fails when the EUID is uucp.
This happens even though /dev/tty is world read and writeable:

    crw-rw-rw- 1 root  wheel  1, 0 Nov 16 16:25 /dev/tty

Everything seems to work OK if we make Kermit defer opening
/dev/tty until it's made the EUID the same as the real UID.

A patch follows.  Comments are welcome.
In particular, I'm hoping someone can tell me whether this
behavior of 386BSD is a bug or a feature.

BTW, I'm running 386BSD 0.1.24, and haven't installed any
kernel patches.

I'm planning on on picking up the Commercial BSD/386 program, and was just
wondering if anybody out there has managed to get it to work with 2 IDE
drives, one SCSI drive, and one SCSI CD ROM (with the 1542B of course...)

The reason I ask is because in DOS, if you have more than two drives connected
to the controller, then you have to have some sort of mechanism loaded
called ASPI or something like that.

I want to run BSD/386 with the above mentioned drives, but am not sure if
there will be any problems.


Thanks!

I have been trying to figure out how to compile a kernel with X support

patches.  I have added  UCONSOLE and XSERVER to the options in ../GENERICISA

I have  config GENERICISA   I go into the GENERICISA dir and do a   
make depend.  I then do a make.

I can see that  -DUCONSOLE and -DXSERVER has been added to the command line 
during the compile stage.

However,  grep -i "xmode" 386bsd  shows nothing!  The new kernel when 
rebooted, does not support X11.

I have manually stuck a  #define XSERVER in pccons.c, and it gives me a 
warning saying it has been already defined.  

What am I missing?

Are there any sources for sdboot/bootsd or has anybody already changed this ?

I am trying to install 386BSD on my harddisk, but, although the TinyBSD floppy
boots OK, the system hangs with both the harddisk and floppy disk lights on,
when booting off the harddisk after running install.
When I switch to a lower clock rate, (FAQ Aug 09), the system sometimes boots,
and sometimes doesn't. When it does, it crashes right thereafter and reboots,
leaving me too little time to read its last message.

I have tried this with both the original dist.fs, and the patched ones from
agate.berkeley,edu (unofficial/newbootables/cgd/dist.fs and 
unofficial/terry/new-bootables/dist.starlan.cmos.fs), with the same results.

(I've got a Tulip 386SX 20MHz, with ISA bus, 4Mb RAM, 100Mb harddisk, 
and no special equipment, except for a mouse.
I am installing 386BSD on my second harddisk partition (50Mb). The first
one holds MSDOS (30Mb) and so does the third one (20Mb))

Does anybody hava a clue ?

as0a: funny mailbox message 0x2
 writing fsbn 192-207
scsi sense: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

super-block backupas: stray intr 0xd00
s (for fsck -b #) at:write error: 224
wtfs: Undefined error: 0

Could not format filesystem. Installation failed.

Most often I don't even get that far, the system hangs accessing the SCSI
controller, even during booting from dist.fs. Also, before any 'asabort 0'
message appears, a long delay occurs. Most of the messages are of the
'unknown mailbox paddr 0x0' variant.

I vaguely remember that there once was a discussion about 'paddr' on
comp.unix.bsd, but at that time I didn't have the chance trying to
install 386BSD yet :-). So, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

I have one, but it's not ready to release.  The wd.c probe routine incorrectly
finds the WD7000 controller, totally bogofying using the WD7000 and any wd.c
at the same time.  This is bad.

I expect to have a fix for the wd.c probe in about 3 hours of work, it's just
a matter of finding the 3 hours.

I remember reading somewhere that there is a minimum system binary
distribution, that has the minimum c source, etc for building or patching a new
kernel.
                                                               
My problem is that I have an 85MB hard disk.  I would like to get this to
experiment with UNIX.

I have looked on many systems and cannot find these component files.
 
Also, how does one create a whatis.db for apropos using the standard BIN
distribution?

Please respond to private e-mail address.  Either one listed below will be
fine.
