Shah) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: FreeBSD: kernel config question Date: 17 Oct 1993 19:42:36 GMT Organization: University of Mississippi, Dept. of Computer Science Lines: 72 Distribution: world Message-ID: <29s77c$fui@Tut.MsState.Edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: cy.cs.olemiss.edu machine info: 486DX2-66 EISA motherboard, 16M RAM (soon to be 32M), DTC 3290 SCSI controller, 1.2GB toshiba SCSI drive, 1.2 and 1.44 M floppy drives, SMC ethernet Elite16 card, generic multi I/O card, VESA local bus graphics card. I just installed FreeBSD on the above machine( with help from the FreeBSD team -- thanx guys). After i managed to configure my EISA system properly, the installation went just great! Thanx to all the FreeBSD people out there -- i just loved it. First, if anyone has an EISA system with similar (or not-so-similar) configuration, could you please mail your config file to me? I now have two questions : 1> Should i reconfigure my kernel? its working just fine right now. 2> some questions about the config file itself: a> Do i change the following line config "386bsd" root on wd0 swap on wd0 and sd0 to config "386bsd" root on sd0 swap on wd0 and sd0 ^^^ since my drive is a SCSI drive, and i don't have wd0? b> do i need the line controller isa0 since i dont have an IDE controller (or is that line for something else?). c> Do i need any of the wd stuff (controller, disks)? do i need the 'controller ahb0' line? d> Also on boot up, the following line appears: is0 not probed due to I/O address conflict with ed0 at 0x280 what does that mean? e> after i do % cd /sys/i386/conf % config FIRST % cd /sys/compile/FIRST % make depend % make do i need to do anything else???? (i know, i know, thats more than two question -- sorry) :-) Thanx in advance viren viren@cy.cs.olemiss.edu "FreeBSD is a really cool system, and the installation is soooooo easy" --- viren shah, October 15, 1993 -- viren shah $ " " viren@cy.cs.olemiss.edu $ -- viren shah 23rd july 1993
