-0. Document Conventions
--- --------------------
-
-We have `underlined' text which represents user input with `-' symbols
-throughout this document to differentiate it from the machine output.
-
-1. Default (GENERIC) Configuration
--- -------------------------------
-
-The following table contains a list of all of the devices that are
-present in the GENERIC kernel. This is the essential part of the
-operating system that is placed in your root partition during the
-installation process. 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.

-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:
-

- 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):

- RELEASE NOTES
- FreeBSD Release 4.0-SNAP
-
-This is a 4.0-CURRENT release SNAPshot of FreeBSD, an active
-development branch which is not expected to produce a release for
-some time. This line of development branched from the 3.x line
-on January 20, 1999; that branch will see continuing releases and
-some features of 4.0 will be back-ported.
-
-Any installation failures or crashes should be reported by using the
-send-pr command (those preferring a Web-based interface can also see
-http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html).
-
-For information about FreeBSD and the layout of the 4.0-RELEASE
-directory (especially if you're installing from floppies!), see
-ABOUT.TXT. For installation instructions, see the INSTALL.TXT and
-HARDWARE.TXT files.
-
-For the latest of these 4.0-current snapshots, you should always see:
-
- ftp://current.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD

-
-FreeBSD currently does NOT support IBM's microchannel (MCA) bus.
-
-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@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. California residents please add 8.25% sales tax.
-
-Should you be dissatisfied for any reason, the CD comes with an
-unconditional return policy.
-
-
-4. 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!
-
-
