Subject: [386bsd] Need to attach centro printer after the system boot.
Date: 20 Dec 92 06:30:11 GMT
Organization: Hokkaido Univ. However I am subject to tansei for JUNET.


I would like to enable the centro-parallel port printer
after the system was booted.

My laser beam printer consumes huge electricity,
so I would like to keep it power off.

I guess the kernel, when it boots, try to decide if the printer
is connected alive or death. But I hope the printer daemon to
watch everytime of its trial of opening the printer if it is
on line.

I tried lpc command to use "restart all" by super user, in vain.

If anyone has the fix for this, please let me know.

The sony workstation at its earlier version of OS had the
same problem , but newer os was improved to accept the printer 
to switch on after the system has booted up.

Subject: [386bsd] memory leak in kernel
Organization: Philips Communications & Processing Services, Eindhoven
Date: Thu, 17 Dec 1992 15:46:32 GMT

Several ppl reported that there is a memory leak inside
the kernel that is responsible for a lot of kernel
panics. 
Isn't it time that we (all 386bsd ppl) work together to 
solve this problem? I don't know if I am right but it
seems like several ppl are working on it and yet I don't
see many things posted about it.
The same holds for the kernel panicing when the swap
space gets exhausted (though I never experienced this
myself).
If ppl. do have results on these topics, I would be
very interested. Maybe they could post them, so other
ppl. can see this oinformation too.

Thanks,
-Guido

I'd kiss the person who gave(sold) me a 386BSD cdrom/floppy like this,
assuming (to reduce the kissing potential ;-) ) it had:

  1) Unpacked sources (386bsd, gnu, Xfree86 and contributed sw, and,
     say, postgres and TeX),
  2) Ability to build against the CDROM sources with local modifications

Did you see my remark on os-bs and codrv some hours ago? Did you try to
select 386bsd as default, and let it time out (without pressing any key)?
Does 386bsd now boot fine? If so, you found the bug in os-bs, I already 
mentioned. Otherwise, you might have still a bug in the kernel ;-)

I recently got XFree86 and installed it sucsessfully.
Then i tried to build a new Kernel with 'options FIFO'.
The kernel runs fine, even with fifos (CnewsXT uses a named pipe).
But under X, i have to type the keys very often before an echo come up
to the window (the mouse works fine anyway).
The Server dies after a few seconds-minutes with an 'unexpected signal 03'
as far as i remember.

Anyone else noticed that strange problem?

Of course, the AT&T lawyers can turn around and say that even though Linus
didn't have any exposure to AT&T sources, that other contributers might

If that's the driver Kurt and I ported, it includes a play (for PCM files),
and a record (also for PCM files) and a few other tidbits.  I have since
written a program that converts NeXT/Sun u-law audio files (both 8 and
16 bit, at many diffrent sample rates).  I am sure it has some bugs, but
it seems to do Ok.

Hello,
   I suppose you mean with HP3500 an Apollo domain 3500 workstation.
I dont't think this will be a trivial task, as the 3500 works with an
68030. So you should do a complete port of the os to that processor.
I don't know if anybody is doing that. Porting the os starts with a
port of a C compiler to the 'new' archtecture. Mabe you can use the
existing Domain C compiler to port the gnu C compiler. But this is
only the start of an os port.....
  You should also write new device drivers for ithe domain peripheral
controllers. This is not a simple task. Unless you intend to become 
the Willaim Jolitz of the 68000 community!

Hi,


I've MSDOS-5 and BSD Installed on my Hard-disc, the first 120MB for BSD and the 
remaining 80MB for DOS.  When I switch the PC on, the BSD boots ok. However, 
if I want to switch to DOS, the 'shutdown -todos' fails. I've tried using 
the 'OS-BS' program,  but that doesn't work either - choosing  DOS is ok, but
loops if I choose BSD.

Any suggestions as to how I can easily choose either DOS or BSD at boot time?

I've read all the articles back that I could retrieve, but I only
found an attempt to create a faq, so I decided to ask a few novice
questions here.  I have an unopened 386BSD compact disc with GNU
Software distribution, X, a.s.o.  I realize that installation notes
are on the disc, but I haven't purchased the machine for it yet and do
not have the compact disc drive.  Without it, I am not sure what
hardware to purchase...  If any of the more experienced 386BSD users
could answer the questions below, I would appreciate it:

1. I am planning to purchase 340 MB drive and split it in half between
   OS/2 and 386BSD.  Will it be enough?  How much space does it
   require?  Can it be installed on the same drive as OS/2?
2. Is Adaptec 1542B supported?
3. Is 16 MB of memory sufficient to run X comfortably?
4. Does it support dumb/intelligent serial terminal multiport cards?
5. I would like to buy Diamond SpeedStar 24X with the WD chipset.  Is
   this card supported?
6. I know EISA would be preferrable, but I can't afford it.  Is there
   any point in even bothering with ISA bus?  Will it be very slow?
7. Of the three (for those who use them all or two of them) - which
   one seems most stable: Coherent/Linux/386BSD?

Thanks,

The ICA toolkit provides the basic tools for doing this sort of thing,
by using an SGML DTD for the intermediate. I have been involved with
the CFCM effort to provide an SGML DTD for online documentation (man

I totally mixed up blocks and fragments ...duh!  The original posting was
talking about the "-k" option of the "df" command, and that's why I was
thinking of blocks (ie: "512-blks").

While I was looking at the du output:

    hecate 1 % df
    Filesystem        512-blks    used   avail capacity  Mounted on

    hecate 2 %

I should have thought about the fsck, which reports _fragmentation_ of the
file system.

I had been working for some time on a SVR4 UFS implementation, and I fear my
wheels were still jarred loose at the time I posted.  ;-).

Hello,

Are you sure the address for rachel is in the FAQ?  If it's the FAQ from 
agate in unofficial, I can't find it.  (And I'd really like to..)

Subject: [386bsd] disklabel second drive HELP !!!

Hi all,
I got 50 MB on a second drive I would like to use for bsd. The drive is
a ST1102AT (as recognized by the kernel). I set up a disklabel in a
ascii file which should work. Now if I

	disklabel -R -r /dev/wd1a file 

I get a : /dev/wd1a invalid parameter 
	  wd1: no disklabel

WHY ? HOW do I get the disklabel on there ? I tried the -w option with a
predetermined disktype, no success. I had no problems disklabeling the
first drive (10MB swap space).

Thanks, Dirk
