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 4.0 framework.

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 tool 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 : ---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, Microchannel and EISA devices can be probed reliably, therefore they are not shown in the table above nor can their settings be changed using UserConfig. 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): ata: Alternate high-performance driver for IDE controllers 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 ifpi: isdn4bsd AVM Fritz!card PCI driver ifpnp: isdn4bsd AVM Fritz!card PnP driver ihfc: isdn4bsd Cologne Chip HFC ISA driver isic: isdn4bsd Siemens/Infineon ISDN chipset driver (ISAC+HSCX/IPAC) iwic: isdn4bsd Winbond W6692 PCI ISDN chip 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 PCI/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 sym: Alternate high-performance driver for NCR/LSI Logic SCSI controllers 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, Microchannel 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. 4.1.
