.Em Possible Tn PCMCIA Em issues
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Machines with
|
|
.Tn PCMCIA
|
|
slots may have problems during installation.
|
|
If you do not have
|
|
.Tn PCMCIA
|
|
on your machine
|
|
.Tn ( PCMCIA
|
|
is only really used on laptop machines),
|
|
you can skip this section, and ignore the
|
|
.Dq Bq Tn PCMCIA
|
|
notes.
|
|
If you do have
|
|
.Tn PCMCIA
|
|
in your machine, you can safely ignore this section and the
|
|
.Dq Bq Tn PCMCIA
|
|
the first time, as you are likely to not have problems.
|
|
Should troubles
|
|
occur during floppy boot, they may be
|
|
.Tn PCMCIA
|
|
specific.
|
|
You should then re-read this section and try again,
|
|
following the instructions in the
|
|
.Dq Bq Tn PCMCIA
|
|
notes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This section explains how to work around the installation problem.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The kernel keeps careful track of what interrupts
|
|
and I/O ports are in use during autoconfiguration.
|
|
It then allows the
|
|
.Tn PCMCIA
|
|
devices to pick unused interrupts and I/O ports.
|
|
Unfortunately, the
|
|
.Tn Li INSTALL
|
|
kernel may not detect all devices in your system.
|
|
This may be because the
|
|
.Tn Li INSTALL
|
|
kernel only supports the minimum set of devices to install
|
|
.Nx
|
|
on your system, or it may be that
|
|
.Nx
|
|
does not have support for the device causing the conflict.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For example, suppose your laptop has a
|
|
soundblaster device built in; the
|
|
.Tn Li INSTALL
|
|
kernel has no sound support.
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn PCMCIA
|
|
code might allocate your soundblaster's
|
|
.Tn IRQ
|
|
and I/O ports to
|
|
.Tn PCMCIA
|
|
devices, causing them not to work, or to lock up the system.
|
|
This is especially bad if one of the devices in question is your ethernet card.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The kernel attempts to probe for available interrupts that are
|
|
usable by the
|
|
.Tn PCIC
|
|
.Tn ( PCMCIA
|
|
interrupt controller), which
|
|
should alleviate interrupt conflicts;
|
|
however, I/O port conflicts are still possible.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This problem will impact some, but not all, users of
|
|
.Tn PCMCIA .
|
|
If this problem is affecting you, watch the
|
|
.Dq Bq Tn PCMCIA
|
|
notes that will appear in this document.
|
|
.if \n[i386] \{\
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It can be difficult to distinguish an interrupt conflict from
|
|
an I/O space conflict.
|
|
There are no hard-and-fast rules, but
|
|
interrupt conflicts are more likely to lock up the machine,
|
|
and I/O space conflicts are more likely to result in misbehavior
|
|
(e.g. a network card that cannot send or receive packets).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The kernel selects a free interrupt according to a mask of allowable
|
|
interrupts, stored in the kernel global variable
|
|
.Va pcic_isa_intr_alloc_mask .
|
|
This mask is a logical-or of power-of-2s of allowable interrupts:
|
|
.(disp
|
|
IRQ Val IRQ Val IRQ Val IRQ Val
|
|
0 0x0001 4 0x0010 8 0x0100 12 0x1000
|
|
1 0x0002 5 0x0020 9 0x0200 13 0x2000
|
|
2 0x0004 6 0x0040 10 0x0400 14 0x4000
|
|
3 0x0008 7 0x0080 11 0x0800 15 0x8000
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For example, 0x0a00 allows both IRQ 9 and IRQ 11.
|
|
By default, the
|
|
.Tn Li INSTALL
|
|
kernel permits all IRQs other than IRQs 5 and 7, so the corresponding
|
|
mask is 0xff5f.
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn Li GENERIC
|
|
kernel, however, allows all IRQs.
|
|
(The presumption here is that IRQ 10 may be assigned to a device that the
|
|
.Tn Li GENERIC
|
|
kernel
|
|
supports, but that the
|
|
.Tn Li INSTALL
|
|
does not.)
|
|
Because of support for interrupt probing, it is no
|
|
longer necessary to exclude IRQs 3 and 5 explicitly; if they are
|
|
in use, they should not be assigned to
|
|
.Tn PCMCIA .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The kernel selects IO space by assigning cards IO space within a
|
|
predefined range.
|
|
The range is specified as a base and size,
|
|
specified by the kernel global variables
|
|
.Va pcic_isa_alloc_iobase
|
|
and
|
|
.Va pcic_isa_alloc_iosize .
|
|
For systems with 12-bit addressing (most systems), the kernel defaults to a
|
|
base of 0x400 and a size of 0xbff (a range of 0x400-0xfff).
|
|
For systems with 10-bit addressing, the kernel defaults to a
|
|
base of 0x300 and a size of 0xff (range of 0x300-0x3ff).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Unfortunately, these ranges may conflict with some devices.
|
|
In the event of a conflict, try a base of 0x330 with a size of 0x0bf (range
|
|
of 0x330-0x3ff).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In order to work around this at installation time, you may
|
|
interrupt the 5 second countdown when booting the
|
|
.Tn Li INSTALL
|
|
kernel, and use
|
|
.Ic boot Fl d ,
|
|
in order to enter
|
|
.Xr ddb 4
|
|
(the in-kernel debugger), and then use the
|
|
.Ic write
|
|
command to alter the variable values:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl db\*> Ic "write pcic_isa_intr_alloc_mask 0x0a00"
|
|
.Dl "pcic_isa_intr_alloc_mask 0xff5f = 0xa00"
|
|
.Dl db\*> Ic "write pcic_isa_alloc_iobase 0x330"
|
|
.Dl "pcic_isa_alloc_iobase 0x400 = 0x330"
|
|
.Dl db\*> Ic "write pcic_isa_alloc_iosize 0x0bf"
|
|
.Dl "pcic_isa_alloc_iosize 0xbff = 0xbf"
|
|
.Dl db\*> Ic "continue"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that, since some floppy images may not have symbol information in
|
|
the kernel, you may have to consult the matching
|
|
.Pa .symbols
|
|
file in the
|
|
.Pa binary/kernel
|
|
directory in the installation tree.
|
|
Find the pcic_ symbols used above,
|
|
look at the hexadecimal value in the first column, and write, for
|
|
example (if
|
|
.Va pcic_isa_intr_alloc_mask
|
|
is equal to c0513e3c):
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl db\*> Ic "write 0xc0513e3c 0x0a00"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.
|
|
After installation, this value can be permanently written to the kernel image
|
|
directly with:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl # Ic "cp /netbsd /netbsd.bak"
|
|
.Dl # Ic "gdb --write /netbsd"
|
|
.Dl (gdb) Ic "set pcic_isa_intr_alloc_mask=0x0a00"
|
|
.Dl (gdb) Ic "set pcic_isa_alloc_iobase=0x330"
|
|
.Dl (gdb) Ic "set pcic_isa_alloc_iosize=0x0bf"
|
|
.Dl (gdb) Ic "quit"
|
|
.Dl #
|
|
.Pp
|
|
or you could specify these value when configuring your kernel, e.g.:
|
|
.(disp
|
|
options PCIC_ISA_INTR_ALLOC_MASK=0x0a00
|
|
options PCIC_ISA_ALLOC_IOBASE=0x330
|
|
options PCIC_ISA_ALLOC_IOSIZE=0x0bf
|
|
.disp)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you can
|
|
get your
|
|
.Tn PCMCIA
|
|
card to work using this hack, you may also ignore the
|
|
.Bq Tn PCMCIA
|
|
notes later in this document.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
We hope to provide a more elegant solution to this problem in a future

|

The SCSI driver used in the kernel on many older Macintosh systems is, by
|
|
default, the ncrscsi driver.
|
|
It contains a recognized but as yet unfixed bug that affects some
|
|
disk drive/controller combinations, usually Quantum disks.
|
|
Under heavy load these systems may hang or corrupt
|
|
the file system; or, you may experience frequent
|
|
.Em Segmentation fault
|
|
and
|
|
.Em Illegal instruction
|
|
errors that may or may not be consistently repeatable.
|
|
This latter condition is particularly prevalent on systems with
|
|
minimal RAM installed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If either of these problems occur on your system you are advised to use the
|
|
SBC variants of the Kernel and Installation Kernel.
|
|
However, be aware that this issue does not affect

e.g. Centris or Quadra systems.

.Nx
|
|
has known but unresolved problems running on the 68LC040 processor, the
|
|
variant of the 68040 that does not contain the floating point unit (FPU).
|
|
The kernel is thus forced to emulate the missing operations in software.
|
|
Unfortunately the 68LC040 processor has a design problem that causes
|
|
the emulation to fail intermittently.
|
|
We hope to provide a solution for this issue in a future
|
|
.Nx
|

Software emulation of floating point operations is

not a problem on the 68020 and 68030 processors.

From this shell prompt, you will do some of the steps that the normal

Unfortunately, at the moment, our install tools

aren't smart enough to deal with drives with Apple Partition Maps

You may need to type one of the following commands to get your delete key

This is the primary option used to partition the disk since it allows

you to sub-divide the selected partition into two partitions.

Changing the types associated with the resulting two parts, or splitting the

Recommended approach to partitioning
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The simplest method of approaching disk partitioning with
|
|
.Ic sysinst
|
|
is to convert everything that can be used for
|
|
.Nx
|
|
into a Free type partition.
|
|
This will allow
|
|
.Ic sysinst
|
|
to collapse and merge all the available space.
|
|
Then cycle through the Select, Split, Select, Change, and Set Mount Point
|
|
options for each of the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
partitions that are desired.
|
|
Since
|
|
.Nx*M
|
|
has a very specific
|
|
mount order for partitions during system boot, it is best to create your
|
|
.Nx
|
|
partitions in the following order: Root, SWAP, Usr where the partitions
|
|
will be mounted in order on 'a', 'b', 'g', 'd', 'e', 'f', and 'h'.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
At least one Root or Root&Usr is required, and a SWAP partition is
|
|
highly desirable.
|
|
As a general rule you will need twice as much swap
|
|
space as you have RAM, more if you plan on running X, Web applications
|
|
or doing heavy development in a multi-user environment.
|
|
The Root partition, if it is separate from your Usr, usually requires about
|
|
24 MB.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If multiple Root partitions are defined, the second is usually
|
|
mounted on /altusr by default.
|
|
.Nx*M
|
|
automatically mounts all
|
|
Root partitions after the first as Usr type partitions.
|
|
However, it is best to be very specific about mount points and partition
|
|
type and use.

First, you will be prompted to specify the units of size
|
|
that you want to express the sizes of the partitions in.
|
|
You can either pick megabytes, cylinders or sectors.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After this, you will be presented with the current values
|
|
stored in the MBR, and will be given the opportunity to
|
|
change, create or delete partitions.
|
|
For each partition you can set the type, the start and the size.
|
|
Setting the type to
|
|
.Ic unused
|
|
will delete a partition.
|
|
You can also mark a partition as active, meaning that this is
|
|
the one that the BIOS will start from at boot time.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Be sure to mark the partition you want to boot from as active!
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After you are done editing the MBR, a sanity check
|
|
will be done, checking for partitions that overlap.
|
|
Depending on the BIOS capabilities of your machine and the
|
|
parameters of the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
partition you have specified, you
|
|
may also be asked if you want to install newer bootcode in your MBR.
|
|
If you have multiple operating systems on the
|
|
disk that you are installing on, you will also be given
|
|
the option to install a bootselector, that will allow you
|
|
to pick the operating system to start up when your computer
|
|
is (re-)started.
|

If everything is ok, you can go on to the next step,
