Bring forward doc changes from 2.2. Much will need changing for 3.0,
which is where this is headed, but it's better than the 2.2-SNAP docs.

2. Using UserConfig to change FreeBSD kernel settings
|
||||
-- --------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The UserConfig utility allows you to override various settings of
|
||||
the FreeBSD kernel before the system has booted. This allows you to
|
||||
make minor adjustments to the various drivers in the system without
|
||||
necessarily having to recompile the kernel.
|
||||
The FreeBSD kernel on the install floppy contains drivers for every
|
||||
piece of hardware that could concievably 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.
|
||||
|
||||
UserConfig is activated by specifying the `-c' flag at the initial
|
||||
boot prompt. For example:
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
>> FreeBSD BOOT @ 0x10000: 640/7168 k of memory
|
||||
Use hd(1,a)/kernel to boot sd0 when wd0 is also installed.
|
||||
Usage: [[wd(0,a)]/kernel][-abcCdhrsv]
|
||||
Use ? for file list or press Enter for defaults
|
||||
Once FreeBSD is installed, it will remember the changes made using
|
||||
UserConfig, so that they only need be made once.
|
||||
|
||||
Boot: -c
|
||||
--
|
||||
It is important to disable drivers that are not relevant to a system
|
||||
in order to minimise the possibility of interference, which can cause
|
||||
problems that are difficult to track down.
|
||||
|
||||
This command causes the system to boot the default kernel ("/kernel") and
|
||||
the UserConfig utility to be started once the kernel is loaded into memory.
|
||||
UserConfig features a commandline interface for users with serial
|
||||
consoles or a need to type commands, and a fullscreen 'visual'
|
||||
interface, which provides point-and-shoot configuration functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
The `-c' flag follows any of the other parameters you may need to provide
|
||||
for the system to boot properly. For example, to boot off the second of
|
||||
two SCSI drives installed and run UserConfig, you would type:
|
||||
Here is a sample UserConfig screen shot in 'visual' mode:
|
||||
|
||||

You may alter nearly all of the default settings present in the FreeBSD
|
||||
generic kernel. This includes reassigning IRQs, disabling troublesome
|
||||
devices (or drivers that conflict with the hardware your system has),
|
||||
setting special device flags, etc.
|
||||
The screen is divided into four sections :
|
||||
|
||||
Since people's tastes in user interface design vary widely, we have
|
||||
provided two different interfaces to the UserConfig utility. If you
|
||||
type `visual' (or just `v') you will be placed in the "GUI" oriented device
|
||||
attributes editor. If you're someone who's more at home with
|
||||
command-line flavored interfaces then simply don't do that and use
|
||||
the CLI commands directly. :-)
|
||||
- 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.
|
||||
|
||||
Since the visual interface pretty much describes itself, we'll use the
|
||||
more verbose command line interface while describing UserConfig in the
|
||||
following examples.
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
The most common use of UserConfig is to adjust or disable a driver
|
||||
which is causing trouble. The "ls" command displays the current
|
||||
settings for all the drivers present in the booted kernel, and once
|
||||
you have located an entry of interest you may use the displayed device
|
||||
name to change its settings or even disable the driver completely.
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, to change the memory address of network adapter 'ed0' to
|
||||
the address 0xd4000, you would type
|
||||
|
||||
config> iomem ed0 0xd4000
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
To entirely disable a device driver you are not using, use the
|
||||
"disable" command. In this example, you would disable device
|
||||
`ie0' by typing:
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
config> disable ie0
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use the "ls" command to verify your changes and correct
|
||||
any other problems before continuing the boot process.
|
||||
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.)
|
||||
|
||||
Once you are happy with a given configuration you may type: "quit"
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
This will cause the kernel to boot with the new settings you
|
||||
have chosen.
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have a fully installed system (e.g. the `bin' distribution
|
||||
has been successfully extracted), any changes you make in UserConfig
|
||||
are permanently stored in the `/kernel' file on the root filesystem.
|
||||
This action is performed by the `dset' utility, which will ensure that
|
||||
these settings remain in effect until you replace the kernel with
|
||||
a new one. If you do not want your changes to be permanently
|
||||
stored like this, remove `dset' from the /etc/rc file before you
|
||||
make any changes.
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
If you accidentally change a setting for a device that you did not mean
|
||||
to change, the safest thing to do is to reset the computer and start
|
||||
over. Do not allow the boot to proceed (e.g. do not type "quit") with
|
||||
bad settings as these may be permanently stored by dset and
|
||||
leave your system in a state where it will no longer run properly.
|
||||
To finish configuring a driver, press 'Q'.
|
||||
|
||||
We suggest as a general rule that you disable any drivers that are not
|
||||
used by your particular hardware configuration. There are known problems
|
||||
with certain device drivers (see section 4.0) that can cause conflicts
|
||||
with other devices if they're also not disabled. You should move or
|
||||
disable any device that resides at the same port or IRQ as a device
|
||||
you actually have!
|
||||
|
||||
You can also remove drivers that are not needed by building yourself a
|
||||
custom kernel that contains only the device drivers which your system
|
||||
really needs (see section 6.0 of the FreeBSD.FAQ). If your system has
|
||||
sufficient free disk space to store and compile the kernel sources,
|
||||
this is the option we most highly recommend.
|
||||
Sample UserConfig session
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a walkthrough of a sample use of UserConfig. The system in
|
||||
question has an IDE disk, two serial ports, a single printer port, a
|
||||
floppy drive and an NE2000 ethernet card set to I/O address 0x340 and
|
||||
IRQ 10.
|
||||
|
||||
- At the 'config>' prompt, type 'v' and press Enter to activate
|
||||
'visual' mode.
|
||||
|
||||
- The fullscreen mode comes up, with the highlight bar in the Active Drivers
|
||||
area over the 'Storage' group, which is Collapsed. Press Enter to
|
||||
Expand the group.
|
||||
|
||||
- Disable all of the drivers listed in this group except for the
|
||||
"Floppy disk controller" and "IDE/ESDI/MFM disk controller" by
|
||||
highlighting each in turn and pressing Del.
|
||||
|
||||
- Move to the 'Network' group, Expand it, and disable all of the drivers
|
||||
except for 'ed0', the first of the
|
||||
"NE1000,NE2000,3C503,WD/SMC80xx Ethernet adapters".
|
||||
|
||||
- Move to the 'Communications' group, Expand it and disable the 'lpt1' and
|
||||
'lpt2' drivers.
|
||||
|
||||
- Disable the 'mse0' driver in the 'Input' group.
|
||||
|
||||
- Go back to the 'Network' group, highlight the 'ed0' driver, and press
|
||||
Enter to configure it.
|
||||
|
||||
- Change the 'Port address' and 'IRQ number' fields to match the
|
||||
configuration of the card, ie. 0x340 and 10 respectively.
|
||||
|
||||
- Press 'Q' to finish configuring the device, and then 'Q' again to
|
||||
leave UserConfig. Answer 'yes' to save the changes and continue to boot
|
||||
using the new configuration.

are supported, from modems to ethernet cards to SCSI adaptors.
|
||||
|

Adaptec AIC7850 support has been added.
|
||||
|
||||
The Yellow Pages (NIS) support has had many optimizations made
|
||||
and no longer has portions copyright under the GPL.
|
||||
|
||||
Various VM system enhancements and a few bugs fixed (gzip'd binaries
|
||||
now work again, for example).
|
||||
|
||||
The system installation tool has been revamped with slightly different
|
||||
menu behavior and a number of bugs have been fixed. It's hoped that
|
||||
this installation will be more intuitive for new users than previous
|
||||
ones (feedback welcomed, of course).
|
||||
|
||||
The Intel EtherExpress Pro/100B PCI ethernet card is now supported.
|
||||
|

The 3COM 3C590 and 3C595 ethernet cards are now supported.
|
||||
|

The ARNET (now Digiboard) Sync 570i high-speed serial card is now supported.
|
||||
|
||||
The Linux emulation is now good enough to run the Linux version of
|
||||
Netscape, with JAVA support (as well as a number of other Linux
|
||||
utilities).
|
||||
|
||||
The Matrox Meteor frame grabber card is better supported.
|
||||
|
||||
It is now possible to burn CDROMs using the Plasmon or HP 4080i
|
||||
CDR drives (see `wormcontrol(1)').
|
||||
|
||||
The pipe code has been substantially sped up, as have some components
|
||||
of the VM system.
|
||||
|
||||
A /dev/random device (and associated "pool of entropy") has been added
|
||||
for applications which require more unpredicatable sequences of random
|
||||
numbers for security. See the random(4) man page for more info.
|
||||
|
||||
Early NFS v3 support (not enabled by default).
|
||||
|
||||
An early implementation of the Device Filesystem (devfs) is available
|
||||
(see mount_devfs). Device switch tables are now also dynamically built.
|
||||
|
||||
Early IPX routing support.
