Migrate these files down to their ${ARCH} subdir. I should have done
this awhile back (next commit will kludge up something reasonable
for the Alpha).

Default (GENERIC) Configuration --- ------------------------------- - -The following table contains a list of all of the devices that are -present in the GENERIC kernel.

A compressed version of the GENERIC kernel is -also used on the installation floppy diskette and DOS boot image. - -The table describes the various parameters used by the driver to -communicate with the hardware in your system. There are four -parameters in the table, though not all are used by each and every -device: - - Port The starting I/O port used by the device, shown in hexadecimal. - - IOMem The lowest (or starting) memory address used by the device, - also shown in hexadecimal. - - IRQ The interrupt the device uses to alert the driver to an event, - given in decimal. - - DRQ The DMA (direct memory access) channel the device uses to move - data to and from main memory, also given in decimal. - -If an entry in the table has `n/a' for a value then it means that the -parameter in question does not apply to that device. A value of `dyn' -means that the correct value should be determined automatically by the -kernel when the system boots and that you don't need to worry about -it. - -If an entry is marked with an *, it means that support is currently -not available for it but should be back as soon as someone converts -the driver to work within the new 3.0 framework. - -FreeBSD GENERIC kernel: - - Port IRQ DRQ IOMem Description - ---- --- --- ----- --------------------------------- -fdc0 3f0 6 2 n/a Floppy disk controller -wdc0 1f0 14 n/a n/a IDE/MFM/RLL disk controller -wdc1 170 15 n/a n/a IDE/MFM/RLL disk controller - -adv0 n/a n/a n/a n/a AdvanSys Narrow SCSI controllers -adw0 n/a n/a n/a n/a AdvanSys Wide SCSI controllers -ncr0 n/a n/a n/a n/a NCR PCI SCSI controller -bt0 330 dyn dyn dyn Buslogic SCSI controller -uha0* 330 dyn 6 dyn Ultrastore 14f -aha0 330 dyn 5 dyn Adaptec 154x/1535 SCSI controller -ahb0 dyn dyn dyn dyn Adaptec 174x SCSI controller -ahc0 dyn dyn dyn dyn Adaptec 274x/284x/294x SCSI controller -aic0* 340 11 dyn dyn Adaptec 152x/AIC-6360 SCSI - controller -isp0 dyn dyn dyn dyn QLogic 10X0, 2100 SCSI/FC controllers -dpt n/a n/a n/a n/a DPT RAID SCSI controllers. - -wt0 300 5 1 dyn Wangtek and Archive QIC-02/QIC-36 - -psm0 60 12 n/a n/a PS/2 Mouse - -mcd0 300 10 n/a n/a Mitsumi CD-ROM -matcd0 230 n/a n/a n/a Matsushita/Panasonic CD-ROM -scd0 230 n/a n/a n/a Sony CD-ROM - -sio0 3f8 4 n/a n/a Serial Port 0 (COM1) -sio1 2f8 3 n/a n/a Serial Port 1 (COM2) - -lpt0 dyn 7 n/a n/a Printer Port 0 -lpt1 dyn dyn n/a n/a Printer Port 1 - -al0 dyn dyn n/a dyn ADMtek AL981 PCI based cards -ax0 dyn dyn n/a dyn ASIX AX88140A PCI based cards -de0 n/a n/a n/a n/a DEC DC21x40 PCI based cards - (including 21140 100bT cards) -ed0 280 10 dyn d8000 WD & SMC 80xx; Novell NE1000 & - NE2000; 3Com 3C503; HP PC Lan+ -eg0 310 5 dyn dyn 3Com 3C505 -ep0 300 10 dyn dyn 3Com 3C509 -ex0 dyn dyn dyn n/a Intel EtherExpress Pro/10 cards -fe0 300 dyn n/a n/a Allied-Telesyn AT1700, RE2000 and - Fujitsu FMV-180 series cards. -fxp0 dyn dyn n/a dyn Intel EtherExpress Pro/100B -ie0 300 10 dyn d0000 AT&T StarLAN 10 and EN100; - 3Com 3C507; NI5210; - Intel EtherExpress (8/16,16[TP]) cards -le0 300 5 dyn d0000 Digital Equipment EtherWorks - 2 and EtherWorks 3 -lnc0 280 10 n/a dyn Lance/PCnet cards - (Isolan, Novell NE2100, NE32-VL, - some PCnet-PCI cards) -mx0 dyn dyn n/a dyn Macronix 98713/15/25 PCI based cards -pn0 dyn dyn n/a dyn Lite-On PNIC PCI based cards -rl0 dyn dyn n/a dyn RealTek 8129/8139 fast ethernet -sf0 dyn dyn n/a dyn Adaptec AIC-6915 fast ethernet -ste0 dyn dyn n/a dyn Sundance ST201 fast ethernet -tl0 dyn dyn n/a dyn TI TNET100 'ThunderLAN' cards. -wb0 dyn dyn n/a dyn Winbond W89C840F PCI based cards. -vr0 dyn dyn n/a dyn VIA VT3043/VT86C100A PCI based cards. -vx0 dyn dyn n/a dyn 3Com 3c59x ((Fast) Etherlink III) -xl0 dyn dyn n/a dyn 3Com 3c900, 3c905, 3c905B, 3c905C, - 3c980, 3cSOHO100 ((Fast) Etherlink XL) -cs0 0x300 dyn n/a n/a Crystal Semiconductor CS89x0-based - cards. -ze0 300 5 n/a d8000 IBM/National Semiconductor - PCMCIA Ethernet Controller -zp0 300 10 n/a d8000 3Com 3c589 Etherlink III - PCMCIA Ethernet Controller ---- End of table --- - - -If the hardware in your computer is not set to the same settings as -those shown in the table and the item in conflict is not marked 'dyn', -you will have to either reconfigure your hardware or use UserConfig -to reconfigure the kernel to match the way your hardware is currently set -(see the next section). - -If the settings do not match, the kernel may be unable to locate -or reliably access the devices in your system. - - -2. Using UserConfig to change FreeBSD kernel settings --- -------------------------------------------------- - -The FreeBSD kernel on the install floppy contains drivers for every -piece of hardware that could conceivably be used to install the rest -of the system with. Unfortunately, PC hardware being what it is, some -of these devices can be difficult to detect accurately, and for some, -the process of detecting another can cause irreversible confusion. - -To make this process easier, FreeBSD provides UserConfig. With this -UserConfig, the user can configure and disable device drivers before -the kernel is loaded, avoiding potential conflicts, and eliminating -the need to reconfigure hardware to suit the default driver settings. - -Once FreeBSD is installed, it will remember the changes made using -UserConfig, so that they only need be made once. - -It is important to disable drivers that are not relevant to a system -in order to minimize the possibility of interference, which can cause -problems that are difficult to track down. - -UserConfig features a command line interface for users with serial -consoles or a need to type commands, and a full screen 'visual' -interface, which provides point-and-shoot configuration functionality. - -Here is a sample UserConfig screen shot in 'visual' mode: - ----Active Drivers---------------------------10 Conflicts------Dev---IRQ--Port-- - Storage : (Collapsed) - Network : - NE1000,NE2000,3C503,WD/SMC80xx Ethernet adapters CONF ed0 5 0x280 - NE1000,NE2000,3C503,WD/SMC80xx Ethernet adapters CONF ed1 5 0x300 - Communications : (Collapsed) - Input : (Collapsed) - Multimedia : ----Inactive Drivers-------------------------------------------Dev-------------- - Storage : - Network : (Collapsed) - Communications : - Input : - Multimedia : - PCI : - ----Parameters-for-device-ed0--------------------------------------------------- - Port address : 0x280 Memory address : 0xd8000 - IRQ number : 5 Memory size : 0x2000 - Flags : 0x0000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - IO Port address (Hexadecimal, 0x1-0x2000) - [TAB] Change fields [Q] Save device parameters - - - The screen is divided into four sections : - - - Active Drivers. Listed here are the device drivers that are currently - enabled, and their basic parameters. - - Inactive Drivers. These drivers are present, but are disabled. - - Parameter edit field. This area is used for editing driver parameters. - - Help area. Keystroke help is displayed here. - -One of the Active and Inactive lists is always in use, and the current -entry in the list will be shown with a highlight bar. If there are -more entries in a list than can be shown, it will scroll. The bar can -be moved up and down using the cursor keys, and moved between lists -with the TAB key. - -Drivers in the Active list may be marked "CONF". This indicates that -one or more of their parameters conflicts with another device, and -indicates a potential for problems. The total number of conflicts is -displayed at the top of the screen. - -As a general rule, conflicts should be avoided, either by disabling -conflicting devices that are not present in the system, or by altering -their configuration so that they match the installed hardware. - -In the list areas, drivers are grouped by their basic function. -Groups can be 'Collapsed' to simplify the display (this is the default -state for all groups). If a group is collapsed, it will be shown with -'(Collapsed)' in the list, as above. To Expand a Collapsed group, -position the highlight bar over the group heading and press Enter. To -Collapse it again, repeat the process. - -When a device driver in the Active list is highlighted, its full -parameters are displayed in the Parameter edit area. Note that not -all drivers use all possible parameters, and some hardware supported -by drivers may not use all the parameters the driver supports. - -To disable a driver, go to the Active list, Expand the group it is in, -highlight the driver and press Del. The driver will move to its group -in the Inactive list. (If the group is collapsed or off the screen, -you may not see the driver in its new location.) - -To enable a driver, go to the Inactive list, Expand the group it is -in, highlight the driver and press Enter. The highlight will move to -the Active list, and the driver you have just enabled will be -highlighted, ready to be configured. - -To configure a driver, go to the Active list, Expand the group it is -in, highlight the driver and press Enter. The cursor will move to the -Parameter edit area, and the device's parameters may be edited. - -While editing parameters, the TAB and cursor keys can be used to move -between fields. Most numeric values (except IRQ) are entered in -hexadecimal, as indicated by the '0x' at the beginning of the field. -The allowable values for a given field are show in the Key Help area -when the field is active. - -To finish configuring a driver, press 'Q'. - -Note that PCI and EISA devices can be probed reliably, therefore they -are not shown in the table above nor can their settings be changed -using UserConfig. PCI drivers may be seen in the "PCI Devices" section -in the Active Devices list, if you wish to check for their presence. - - -3. LINT - other possible configurations --- ------------------------------------ - -The following drivers are not in the GENERIC kernel but remain -available to those who do not mind compiling a custom kernel (see -section 6 of FreeBSD.FAQ). The LINT configuration file -(/sys/i386/conf/LINT) also contains prototype entries for just about -every device supported by FreeBSD and is a good general reference. - -The device names and a short description of each are listed below. The port -numbers, etc, are not meaningful here since you will need to compile a -custom kernel to gain access to these devices anyway and can thus -adjust the addresses to match the hardware in your computer in the process. -The LINT file contains prototype entries for all of the below which you -can easily cut-and-paste into your own file (or simply copy LINT and edit -it to taste): - -ctx: Cortex-I frame grabber -cx: Cronyx/Sigma multiport sync/async -cy: Cyclades high-speed serial driver -el: 3Com 3C501 -fea: DEC DEFEA EISA FDDI adapter -fpa: DEC DEFPA PCI FDDI adapter -gp: National Instruments AT-GPIB and AT-GPIB/TNT board -gsc: Genius GS-4500 hand scanner -gus: Gravis Ultrasound - Ultrasound, Ultrasound 16, Ultrasound MAX -gusxvi: Gravis Ultrasound 16-bit PCM -hea: Efficient ENI-155p ATM PCI adapter -hfa: FORE PCA-200E ATM PCI adapter -isic: isdn4bsd Siemens ISDN Chipset driver -joy: Joystick -labpc: National Instrument's Lab-PC and Lab-PC+ -meteor: Matrox Meteor frame-grabber card -bktr: Brooktree Bt848 / Bt 878 based frame-grabber cards. -mpu: Roland MPU-401 stand-alone card -mse: Microsoft, Logitech, ATI bus mouse ports -mss: Microsoft Sound System -opl: Yamaha OPL-2 and OPL-3 FM - SB, SB Pro, SB 16, ProAudioSpectrum -pas: ProAudioSpectrum PCM and MIDI -pca: PCM audio ("/dev/audio") through your PC speaker -pcm: PCM audio on most modern ISA audio codecs -psm: PS/2 mouse port -rc: RISCom/8 multiport card -sb: SoundBlaster PCM - SoundBlaster, SB Pro, SB16, ProAudioSpectrum -sbmidi: SoundBlaster 16 MIDI interface -sbxvi: SoundBlaster 16 -si: Specialix SI/XIO/SX (old and enhanced ISA, PCI, EISA) serial -spigot: Creative Labs Video Spigot video-acquisition board -uart: Stand-alone 6850 UART for MIDI -wds: Western Digital WD7000 IDE - ---- end of list --- - - -4. Supported Hardware --- ------------------ - -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).

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@ftpmail.vix.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 3.0-RELEASE and 2.2.x-RELEASE CDs may be ordered on CDROM from: - - Walnut Creek CDROM - 4041 Pike Lane, Suite D - Concord CA 94520 - 1-800-786-9907, +1-925-674-0783, +1-925-674-0821 (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 SNAPshot CDs, when available, are $39.95 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.

Upgrading from previous releases of FreeBSD ----------------------------------------------- - -If you're upgrading from a previous release of FreeBSD, most likely -it's 3.0 and some of the following issues may affect you, depending -of course on your chosen method of upgrading. There are two popular -ways of upgrading FreeBSD distributions: - - o Using sources, via /usr/src - o Using sysinstall's (binary) upgrade option. - -[insert other notes here] - - -5. 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 tech support issues, 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 of the mailing lists 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! - - -6.
