RELEASE NOTES
|
||||||
|
FreeBSD 2.2-RELEASE
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. What's new since 2.1.7
|
||||||
|
-------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Lots of installation bugs fixed, more pc98 changes syncronized, geeze,
|
||||||
|
what else?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
gdb 4.16 has been merged from -current, most of the third-party source
|
||||||
|
now lives under /usr/src/contrib.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Updated support for the DEC DEFPA/DEFEA FDDI hardware.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The old ``HAVE_FPU'' Makefile option is now finally gone, the selection
|
||||||
|
between the math library using the floating point emulator, and the
|
||||||
|
version using the co-processor is now fully automatic. This will speed
|
||||||
|
up floating-point using programs on sites that didn't like to recompile
|
||||||
|
their `libm' previously.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Javier Martin Rueda's `ex' driver has been merged, bringing support
|
||||||
|
for the Intel EtherExpress Pro/10 network cards.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The `de' driver now recognizes cards using the DE21140A chip, like the
|
||||||
|
popular SMC9332BDT (10/100 Mbit/s) one.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There's now a workaround for the brokeness of the frequently used
|
||||||
|
CMD640 PCI IDE chip in the sources, albeit still disabled by default
|
||||||
|
in 2.2.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The number of EISA slots to probe is now a fully supported option,
|
||||||
|
including the ability to save the value from a UserConfig session
|
||||||
|
with dset(8). This helps owners of HP NetServer LC machines to
|
||||||
|
install the system on their hardware.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Support for the SDL RISCom N2pci sync serial card.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Support for Cyclades Cyclom-Y (multi-port async serial) PCI adaptors
|
||||||
|
as well as multiple controllers and the 32-Y (if you are currently using
|
||||||
|
the Cyclades serial adapter, you should re-make your /dev entries and
|
||||||
|
remove the old ones).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Updated support for ethernet adaptors which use the DEC DC21X4X chipset.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Update to gcc 2.7.2.1 & add support for weak symbols.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Many things moved/brought into /usr/src/contrib, updating and
|
||||||
|
cleaning up the source tree accordingly.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Support for compiled-in shared library ld paths.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Update sgmlfmt to `instant'.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Support for SNMP-style interface MIBs, including full RFC
|
||||||
|
1650-compliant MIBs for the `de' (DEC 21x4x) and `ed' (SMC/WD/Novell)
|
||||||
|
drivers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
/stand/sysinstall moved even more towards becoming a more general
|
||||||
|
system management tool.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The syscons and psm drivers now have a new underlying shared keyboard
|
||||||
|
driver, eliminating many of the previously existing problems with
|
||||||
|
their mutual interaction.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Syscons now supports cut & paste in textmode using the moused(8)
|
||||||
|
utility.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2.2 is the first release that includes full CD-R support for the
|
||||||
|
Plasmon RF41xx, HP4020i, HP6020i, and Philips CDD2000 drives. The
|
||||||
|
driver is still under development (in particular to extend its
|
||||||
|
usability for other devices), but it has been proved to be stable
|
||||||
|
by now.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Support for NFSv3 clients and servers went into the 2.2 sources
|
||||||
|
shortly after branching off the 2.0.5/2.1.X tree. There are also
|
||||||
|
other options available with NFS, like the ability to turn an NFSv2
|
||||||
|
server into asynchronous write mode (which is in violation of the
|
||||||
|
specs, but has precedents e.g. in SGI Irix).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Poul-Henning Kamp's phkmalloc replaced the old and blatant BSD
|
||||||
|
malloc implementation. This usually saves a lot of virtual memory
|
||||||
|
for the clients, and offers some neat features like aborting the
|
||||||
|
program on detected malloc abuses, or filling the malloced and/or
|
||||||
|
freed area with junk in order to detect semantical problems in
|
||||||
|
programs that use malloc.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The `netatalk' implementation of AppleTalk has been integrated into
|
||||||
|
the sources, most of the integration work courtesy Wistle Communic-
|
||||||
|
ations Corp.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The mount option `async' allows asynchronous metadata updates on UFS
|
||||||
|
file systems, something that is the default e.g. on Linux' ext2fs.
|
||||||
|
This speeds up many i-node intensive filesystem operations (like
|
||||||
|
rm -r) at the cost of an increased risk in case of a system crash.
|
||||||
|
The installation itself makes use of this feature, and could be
|
||||||
|
drastically accelerated by this. (A bindist-only installation from a
|
||||||
|
SCSI CD-ROM can now complete in less than 5 minutes on a fast
|
||||||
|
machine!)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The ATAPI CD-ROM support is now reported to work for quite an
|
||||||
|
impressive number of drives. In other words, all the drives that
|
||||||
|
basically adhere to the ATAPI standard are likely to work.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are many new drivers available in the kernel, too many to keep
|
||||||
|
them in mind. Tekram supplied a driver for their DC390 and DC390T
|
||||||
|
controllers. These controllers are based on the AMD 53c974, and the
|
||||||
|
driver is also able to handle other SCSI controllers based on that
|
||||||
|
chip. Of course, with Tekram being generous enough to support the
|
||||||
|
FreeBSD project with their driver, we'd like to encourage you to buy
|
||||||
|
their product. The `ed' and `lnc' drivers now support auto-config-
|
||||||
|
uration for the respective PCI ethernet cards, including many NE2000
|
||||||
|
clones and the AMD PCnet chips. The SDL RISCom N2 support is new, as
|
||||||
|
well as the PCI version of the Cyclades driver.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Linux emulation is now fully functional, including ELF support.
|
||||||
|
To make its use easier, there are even ports for the required shared
|
||||||
|
libraries, and for the Slackware development environment.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Along the same lines, the SysV COFF emulation (aka. SCO emulation) is
|
||||||
|
reported to be working well now.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
FreeBSD also supports native ELF binaries, although it hasn't been
|
||||||
|
decided yet whether, when, and how we might use this as the default
|
||||||
|
binary format some day.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A `brandelf' utility has been added to allow `branding' of non-shared
|
||||||
|
linked ELF binaries where the kernel cannot guess which image activator
|
||||||
|
(FreeBSD, Linux, maybe SysV some day) should be used. This works around
|
||||||
|
one major flaw in the ELF object format, the missing field to mark the
|
||||||
|
ABI it belongs to.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Support for APM BIOSes is now in a much better shape.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The manual section 9 has been started, describing `official' kernel
|
||||||
|
programming interfaces. We are still seeking volunteers to document
|
||||||
|
interfaces here!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The kernel configuration option handling has been largely moved away
|
||||||
|
from the old -D Makefile kludges, towards a system of "opt_foo.h"
|
||||||
|
kernel include files, allowing Makefile dependencies to work again.
|
||||||
|
We expect the old hack that blows the entire compile directory away
|
||||||
|
on each run of config(8) to go away anytime soon. Unless you're changing
|
||||||
|
weird options, you might now consider using the -n option to config(8),
|
||||||
|
or setting the env variable NO_CONFIG_CLOBBER, if CPU time is costly for
|
||||||
|
you. See also the comments in the handbook about how it works.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. Supported Configurations
|
||||||
|
---------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
FreeBSD currently runs on a wide variety of ISA, VLB, EISA and PCI bus
|
||||||
|
based PC's, ranging from 386sx to Pentium class machines (though the
|
||||||
|
386sx is not recommended). Support for generic IDE or ESDI drive
|
||||||
|
configurations, various SCSI controller, network and serial cards is
|
||||||
|
also provided.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
What follows is a list of all peripherals currently known to work with
|
||||||
|
FreeBSD. Other configurations may also work, we have simply not as yet
|
||||||
|
received confirmation of this.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2.1. Disk Controllers

|
||||||
|
Adaptec 1535 ISA SCSI controllers
|
||||||
|
Adaptec 154x series ISA SCSI controllers
|
||||||
|
Adaptec 174x series EISA SCSI controller in standard and enhanced mode.
|
||||||
|
Adaptec 274X/284X/2940/3940 (Narrow/Wide/Twin) series ISA/EISA/PCI SCSI
|
||||||
|
controllers.
|
||||||
|
Adaptec AIC7850 on-board SCSI controllers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 based boards, which includes the AHA-152x
|
||||||
|
and SoundBlaster SCSI cards.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** Note: You cannot boot from the SoundBlaster cards as they have no
|
||||||
|
on-board BIOS, such being necessary for mapping the boot device into the
|
||||||
|
system BIOS I/O vectors. They're perfectly usable for external tapes,
|
||||||
|
CDROMs, etc, however. The same goes for any other AIC-6x60 based card
|
||||||
|
without a boot ROM. Some systems DO have a boot ROM, which is generally
|
||||||
|
indicated by some sort of message when the system is first powered up
|
||||||
|
or reset, and in such cases you *will* also be able to boot from them.
|
||||||
|
Check your system/board documentation for more details.

3. Obtaining FreeBSD
|
||||||
|
--------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You may obtain FreeBSD in a variety of ways:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3.1. FTP/Mail
|
||||||
|
-------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can ftp FreeBSD and any or all of its optional packages from
|
||||||
|
`ftp.freebsd.org' - the official FreeBSD release site.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For other locations that mirror the FreeBSD software see the file
|
||||||
|
MIRROR.SITES. Please ftp the distribution from the site closest (in
|
||||||
|
networking terms) to you. Additional mirror sites are always welcome!
|
||||||
|
Contact freebsd-admin@FreeBSD.org for more details if you'd like to
|
||||||
|
become an official mirror site.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you do not have access to the Internet and electronic mail is your
|
||||||
|
only recourse, then you may still fetch the files by sending mail to
|
||||||
|
`ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com' - putting the keyword "help" in your message
|
||||||
|
to get more information on how to fetch files using this mechanism.
|
||||||
|
Please do note, however, that this will end up sending many *tens of
|
||||||
|
megabytes* through the mail and should only be employed as an absolute
|
||||||
|
LAST resort!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3.2. CDROM
|
||||||
|
----------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
FreeBSD 2.1.7-RELEASE and 2.2-RELEASE CDs may be ordered on CDROM from:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Walnut Creek CDROM
|
||||||
|
4041 Pike Lane, Suite D
|
||||||
|
Concord CA 94520
|
||||||
|
1-800-786-9907, +1-510-674-0783, +1-510-674-0821 (fax)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Or via the Internet from orders@cdrom.com or http://www.cdrom.com.
|
||||||
|
Their current catalog can be obtained via ftp from:
|
||||||
|
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/cdrom/catalog.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Cost per -RELEASE CD is $39.95 or $24.95 with a FreeBSD subscription.
|
||||||
|
FreeBSD 3.0-SNAP CDs are $29.95 or $14.95 with a FreeBSD-SNAP subscription
|
||||||
|
(-RELEASE and -SNAP subscriptions are entirely separate). With a
|
||||||
|
subscription, you will automatically receive updates as they are released.
|
||||||
|
Your credit card will be billed when each disk is shipped and you may cancel
|
||||||
|
your subscription at any time without further obligation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Shipping (per order not per disc) is $5 in the US, Canada or Mexico
|
||||||
|
and $9.00 overseas. They accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American
|
||||||
|
Express or checks in U.S. Dollars and ship COD within the United
|
||||||
|
States. California residents please add 8.25% sales tax.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Should you be dissatisfied for any reason, the CD comes with an
|
||||||
|
unconditional return policy.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. Reporting problems, making suggestions, submitting code.
|
||||||
|
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Your suggestions, bug reports and contributions of code are always
|
||||||
|
valued - please do not hesitate to report any problems you may find
|
||||||
|
(preferably with a fix attached, if you can!).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The preferred method to submit bug reports from a machine with
|
||||||
|
Internet mail connectivity is to use the send-pr command or use the CGI
|
||||||
|
script at http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html. Bug reports
|
||||||
|
will be dutifully filed by our faithful bugfiler program and you can
|
||||||
|
be sure that we'll do our best to respond to all reported bugs as soon
|
||||||
|
as possible. Bugs filed in this way are also visible on our WEB site
|
||||||
|
in the support section and are therefore valuable both as bug reports
|
||||||
|
and as "signposts" for other users concerning potential problems to
|
||||||
|
watch out for.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If, for some reason, you are unable to use the send-pr command to
|
||||||
|
submit a bug report, you can try to send it to:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that send-pr itself is a shell script that should be easy to move
|
||||||
|
even onto a totally different system. We much prefer if you could use
|
||||||
|
this interface, since it make it easier to keep track of the problem
|
||||||
|
reports. However, before submitting, please try to make sure whether
|
||||||
|
the problem might have already been fixed since.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Otherwise, for any questions or suggestions, please send mail to:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Additionally, being a volunteer effort, we are always happy to have
|
||||||
|
extra hands willing to help - there are already far more desired
|
||||||
|
enhancements than we'll ever be able to manage by ourselves! To
|
||||||
|
contact us on technical matters, or with offers of help, please send
|
||||||
|
mail to:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.org
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Please note that these mailing lists can experience *significant*
|
||||||
|
amounts of traffic and if you have slow or expensive mail access and
|
||||||
|
are only interested in keeping up with significant FreeBSD events, you
|
||||||
|
may find it preferable to subscribe instead to:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.org
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All but the freebsd-bugs groups can be freely joined by anyone wishing
|
||||||
|
to do so. Send mail to MajorDomo@FreeBSD.org and include the keyword
|
||||||
|
`help' on a line by itself somewhere in the body of the message. This
|
||||||
|
will give you more information on joining the various lists, accessing
|
||||||
|
archives, etc. There are a number of mailing lists targeted at
|
||||||
|
special interest groups not mentioned here, so send mail to majordomo
|
||||||
|
and ask about them!

||||||

RELEASE NOTES
|
||||||
|
FreeBSD 2.2-RELEASE
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. What's new since 2.1.7
|
||||||
|
-------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Lots of installation bugs fixed, more pc98 changes syncronized, geeze,
|
||||||
|
what else?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
gdb 4.16 has been merged from -current, most of the third-party source
|
||||||
|
now lives under /usr/src/contrib.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Updated support for the DEC DEFPA/DEFEA FDDI hardware.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The old ``HAVE_FPU'' Makefile option is now finally gone, the selection
|
||||||
|
between the math library using the floating point emulator, and the
|
||||||
|
version using the co-processor is now fully automatic. This will speed
|
||||||
|
up floating-point using programs on sites that didn't like to recompile
|
||||||
|
their `libm' previously.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Javier Martin Rueda's `ex' driver has been merged, bringing support
|
||||||
|
for the Intel EtherExpress Pro/10 network cards.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The `de' driver now recognizes cards using the DE21140A chip, like the
|
||||||
|
popular SMC9332BDT (10/100 Mbit/s) one.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There's now a workaround for the brokeness of the frequently used
|
||||||
|
CMD640 PCI IDE chip in the sources, albeit still disabled by default
|
||||||
|
in 2.2.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The number of EISA slots to probe is now a fully supported option,
|
||||||
|
including the ability to save the value from a UserConfig session
|
||||||
|
with dset(8). This helps owners of HP NetServer LC machines to
|
||||||
|
install the system on their hardware.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Support for the SDL RISCom N2pci sync serial card.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Support for Cyclades Cyclom-Y (multi-port async serial) PCI adaptors
|
||||||
|
as well as multiple controllers and the 32-Y (if you are currently using
|
||||||
|
the Cyclades serial adapter, you should re-make your /dev entries and
|
||||||
|
remove the old ones).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Updated support for ethernet adaptors which use the DEC DC21X4X chipset.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Update to gcc 2.7.2.1 & add support for weak symbols.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Many things moved/brought into /usr/src/contrib, updating and
|
||||||
|
cleaning up the source tree accordingly.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Support for compiled-in shared library ld paths.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Update sgmlfmt to `instant'.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Support for SNMP-style interface MIBs, including full RFC
|
||||||
|
1650-compliant MIBs for the `de' (DEC 21x4x) and `ed' (SMC/WD/Novell)
|
||||||
|
drivers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
/stand/sysinstall moved even more towards becoming a more general
|
||||||
|
system management tool.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The syscons and psm drivers now have a new underlying shared keyboard
|
||||||
|
driver, eliminating many of the previously existing problems with
|
||||||
|
their mutual interaction.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Syscons now supports cut & paste in textmode using the moused(8)
|
||||||
|
utility.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2.2 is the first release that includes full CD-R support for the
|
||||||
|
Plasmon RF41xx, HP4020i, HP6020i, and Philips CDD2000 drives. The
|
||||||
|
driver is still under development (in particular to extend its
|
||||||
|
usability for other devices), but it has been proved to be stable
|
||||||
|
by now.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Support for NFSv3 clients and servers went into the 2.2 sources
|
||||||
|
shortly after branching off the 2.0.5/2.1.X tree. There are also
|
||||||
|
other options available with NFS, like the ability to turn an NFSv2
|
||||||
|
server into asynchronous write mode (which is in violation of the
|
||||||
|
specs, but has precedents e.g. in SGI Irix).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Poul-Henning Kamp's phkmalloc replaced the old and blatant BSD
|
||||||
|
malloc implementation. This usually saves a lot of virtual memory
|
||||||
|
for the clients, and offers some neat features like aborting the
|
||||||
|
program on detected malloc abuses, or filling the malloced and/or
|
||||||
|
freed area with junk in order to detect semantical problems in
|
||||||
|
programs that use malloc.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The `netatalk' implementation of AppleTalk has been integrated into
|
||||||
|
the sources, most of the integration work courtesy Wistle Communic-
|
||||||
|
ations Corp.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The mount option `async' allows asynchronous metadata updates on UFS
|
||||||
|
file systems, something that is the default e.g. on Linux' ext2fs.
|
||||||
|
This speeds up many i-node intensive filesystem operations (like
|
||||||
|
rm -r) at the cost of an increased risk in case of a system crash.
|
||||||
|
The installation itself makes use of this feature, and could be
|
||||||
|
drastically accelerated by this. (A bindist-only installation from a
|
||||||
|
SCSI CD-ROM can now complete in less than 5 minutes on a fast
|
||||||
|
machine!)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The ATAPI CD-ROM support is now reported to work for quite an
|
||||||
|
impressive number of drives. In other words, all the drives that
|
||||||
|
basically adhere to the ATAPI standard are likely to work.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are many new drivers available in the kernel, too many to keep
|
||||||
|
them in mind. Tekram supplied a driver for their DC390 and DC390T
|
||||||
|
controllers. These controllers are based on the AMD 53c974, and the
|
||||||
|
driver is also able to handle other SCSI controllers based on that
|
||||||
|
chip. Of course, with Tekram being generous enough to support the
|
||||||
|
FreeBSD project with their driver, we'd like to encourage you to buy
|
||||||
|
their product. The `ed' and `lnc' drivers now support auto-config-
|
||||||
|
uration for the respective PCI ethernet cards, including many NE2000
|
||||||
|
clones and the AMD PCnet chips. The SDL RISCom N2 support is new, as
|
||||||
|
well as the PCI version of the Cyclades driver.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Linux emulation is now fully functional, including ELF support.
|
||||||
|
To make its use easier, there are even ports for the required shared
|
||||||
|
libraries, and for the Slackware development environment.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Along the same lines, the SysV COFF emulation (aka. SCO emulation) is
|
||||||
|
reported to be working well now.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
FreeBSD also supports native ELF binaries, although it hasn't been
|
||||||
|
decided yet whether, when, and how we might use this as the default
|
||||||
|
binary format some day.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A `brandelf' utility has been added to allow `branding' of non-shared
|
||||||
|
linked ELF binaries where the kernel cannot guess which image activator
|
||||||
|
(FreeBSD, Linux, maybe SysV some day) should be used. This works around
|
||||||
|
one major flaw in the ELF object format, the missing field to mark the
|
||||||
|
ABI it belongs to.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Support for APM BIOSes is now in a much better shape.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The manual section 9 has been started, describing `official' kernel
|
||||||
|
programming interfaces. We are still seeking volunteers to document
|
||||||
|
interfaces here!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The kernel configuration option handling has been largely moved away
|
||||||
|
from the old -D Makefile kludges, towards a system of "opt_foo.h"
|
||||||
|
kernel include files, allowing Makefile dependencies to work again.
|
||||||
|
We expect the old hack that blows the entire compile directory away
|
||||||
|
on each run of config(8) to go away anytime soon. Unless you're changing
|
||||||
|
weird options, you might now consider using the -n option to config(8),
|
||||||
|
or setting the env variable NO_CONFIG_CLOBBER, if CPU time is costly for
|
||||||
|
you. See also the comments in the handbook about how it works.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. Supported Configurations
|
||||||
|
---------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
FreeBSD currently runs on a wide variety of ISA, VLB, EISA and PCI bus
|
||||||
|
based PC's, ranging from 386sx to Pentium class machines (though the
|
||||||
|
386sx is not recommended). Support for generic IDE or ESDI drive
|
||||||
|
configurations, various SCSI controller, network and serial cards is
|
||||||
|
also provided.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
What follows is a list of all peripherals currently known to work with
|
||||||
|
FreeBSD. Other configurations may also work, we have simply not as yet
|
||||||
|
received confirmation of this.

||||||
|
and SoundBlaster SCSI cards.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** Note: You cannot boot from the SoundBlaster cards as they have no
|
||||||
|
on-board BIOS, such being necessary for mapping the boot device into the
|
||||||
|
system BIOS I/O vectors. They're perfectly usable for external tapes,
|
||||||
|
CDROMs, etc, however. The same goes for any other AIC-6x60 based card
|
||||||
|
without a boot ROM. Some systems DO have a boot ROM, which is generally
|
||||||
|
indicated by some sort of message when the system is first powered up
|
||||||
|
or reset, and in such cases you *will* also be able to boot from them.
|
||||||
|
Check your system/board documentation for more details.

3. Obtaining FreeBSD
|
||||||
|
--------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You may obtain FreeBSD in a variety of ways:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3.1. FTP/Mail
|
||||||
|
-------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can ftp FreeBSD and any or all of its optional packages from
|
||||||
|
`ftp.freebsd.org' - the official FreeBSD release site.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For other locations that mirror the FreeBSD software see the file
|
||||||
|
MIRROR.SITES. Please ftp the distribution from the site closest (in
|
||||||
|
networking terms) to you. Additional mirror sites are always welcome!
|
||||||
|
Contact freebsd-admin@FreeBSD.org for more details if you'd like to
|
||||||
|
become an official mirror site.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you do not have access to the Internet and electronic mail is your
|
||||||
|
only recourse, then you may still fetch the files by sending mail to
|
||||||
|
`ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com' - putting the keyword "help" in your message
|
||||||
|
to get more information on how to fetch files using this mechanism.
|
||||||
|
Please do note, however, that this will end up sending many *tens of
|
||||||
|
megabytes* through the mail and should only be employed as an absolute
|
||||||
|
LAST resort!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3.2. CDROM
|
||||||
|
----------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
FreeBSD 2.1.7-RELEASE and 2.2-RELEASE CDs may be ordered on CDROM from:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Walnut Creek CDROM
|
||||||
|
4041 Pike Lane, Suite D
|
||||||
|
Concord CA 94520
|
||||||
|
1-800-786-9907, +1-510-674-0783, +1-510-674-0821 (fax)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Or via the Internet from orders@cdrom.com or http://www.cdrom.com.
|
||||||
|
Their current catalog can be obtained via ftp from:
|
||||||
|
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/cdrom/catalog.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Cost per -RELEASE CD is $39.95 or $24.95 with a FreeBSD subscription.
|
||||||
|
FreeBSD 3.0-SNAP CDs are $29.95 or $14.95 with a FreeBSD-SNAP subscription
|
||||||
|
(-RELEASE and -SNAP subscriptions are entirely separate). With a
|
||||||
|
subscription, you will automatically receive updates as they are released.
|
||||||
|
Your credit card will be billed when each disk is shipped and you may cancel
|
||||||
|
your subscription at any time without further obligation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Shipping (per order not per disc) is $5 in the US, Canada or Mexico
|
||||||
|
and $9.00 overseas. They accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American
|
||||||
|
Express or checks in U.S. Dollars and ship COD within the United
|
||||||
|
States. California residents please add 8.25% sales tax.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Should you be dissatisfied for any reason, the CD comes with an
|
||||||
|
unconditional return policy.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. Reporting problems, making suggestions, submitting code.
|
||||||
|
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Your suggestions, bug reports and contributions of code are always
|
||||||
|
valued - please do not hesitate to report any problems you may find
|
||||||
|
(preferably with a fix attached, if you can!).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The preferred method to submit bug reports from a machine with
|
||||||
|
Internet mail connectivity is to use the send-pr command or use the CGI
|
||||||
|
script at http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html. Bug reports
|
||||||
|
will be dutifully filed by our faithful bugfiler program and you can
|
||||||
|
be sure that we'll do our best to respond to all reported bugs as soon
|
||||||
|
as possible. Bugs filed in this way are also visible on our WEB site
|
||||||
|
in the support section and are therefore valuable both as bug reports
|
||||||
|
and as "signposts" for other users concerning potential problems to
|
||||||
|
watch out for.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If, for some reason, you are unable to use the send-pr command to
|
||||||
|
submit a bug report, you can try to send it to:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that send-pr itself is a shell script that should be easy to move
|
||||||
|
even onto a totally different system. We much prefer if you could use
|
||||||
|
this interface, since it make it easier to keep track of the problem
|
||||||
|
reports. However, before submitting, please try to make sure whether
|
||||||
|
the problem might have already been fixed since.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Otherwise, for any questions or suggestions, please send mail to:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Additionally, being a volunteer effort, we are always happy to have
|
||||||
|
extra hands willing to help - there are already far more desired
|
||||||
|
enhancements than we'll ever be able to manage by ourselves! To
|
||||||
|
contact us on technical matters, or with offers of help, please send
|
||||||
|
mail to:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.org
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Please note that these mailing lists can experience *significant*
|
||||||
|
amounts of traffic and if you have slow or expensive mail access and
|
||||||
|
are only interested in keeping up with significant FreeBSD events, you
|
||||||
|
may find it preferable to subscribe instead to:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.org
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All but the freebsd-bugs groups can be freely joined by anyone wishing
|
||||||
|
to do so. Send mail to MajorDomo@FreeBSD.org and include the keyword
|
||||||
|
`help' on a line by itself somewhere in the body of the message. This
|
||||||
|
will give you more information on joining the various lists, accessing
|
||||||
|
archives, etc. There are a number of mailing lists targeted at
|
||||||
|
special interest groups not mentioned here, so send mail to majordomo
|
||||||
|
and ask about them!
