Completed Project List

- +
Add methods to get/set ints acpi_EvaluateInteger only gets an int. Update api to get/set so that every consumer does not end up defining their own. &a.marks;
Fix getenv_string. Does not seem to work in sys/dev/acpica/Osd/OsdTable.c. Turned out the name should not end in "_name". &a.marks; and &a.grehan;
acpi_video manpage. See appendix B of the ACPI 2.0 spec for info on what this driver does as well as look at the sysctls it exports. &a.marks;
fd0 not working on Intel boards. The floppy device did not work due to the _CRS object on some systems splitting the IO port into three 2 port resources (6 ports total). Fix committed to sys/isa/fd.c to work with this type of resource specification. &a.njl; and &a.jhb;
Some BIOSs use 0x3f2-0x3f5 as the port range -- the real range is 0x3f0-0x3f5, 0x3f7. Workaround committed. &a.imp;
ACPI Debugging Handbook Page -- Introduction to ACPI for new users as well as how to assist us in fixing problems as they arise. &a.njl; and &a.trhodes;
acpi_video driver (njl) -- Imported.&a.njl and Taku YAMAMOTO (driver author)&a.njl; and Taku YAMAMOTO (driver author)
BIOS blacklist -- implement a mechanism and specific quirks to disable features or ACPI entirely on known broken systems. If a custom DSDT is loaded, do not check it against the blacklist (since a user may fix the DSDT without changing the vendor/revision fields.) Add blacklist option for disabling acpi on certain systems. &a.njl
acpi_toshiba man page -- Driver submitted by Hiroyuki Aizu and committed. All it needs is someone to try it out and document the sysctls. &a.philip;
Invalid PBLK length workaround -- Accept a PBLK of length 5 (spec says 6). Only enable C2 for this though. Some people may be using 7 to indicate another C3 state but we do not support the extra state. &a.njl;
Check EcSpacehandler to make sure it is correct for multi-byte access. Found off-by-one in that the last address (0xff) could never be written or read.  
Pick a default MS OS to claim -- Too much ASL depends on a MS OS string so we should masquerade as the most accurate one. Picked Win2k™ ("Microsoft Windows NT™"), then reverted once _OSI support was available.  
Handle DPF resource types in acpi_pcib.c -- Some _PRS values are bracketed with start/end dependent function resource descriptors. Parse/skip them to fix PCI IRQ routing. &a.njl;
acpi_toshiba updates -- Implement support for DSSX which appears to be the only way to do display switching (other than acpi_video). &a.njl;
ASUS driver -- Driver for ASUS ACPI extras (hotkeys). Similar to the acpi4asus.sf.net Linux project. &a.philip;
Fix sysctls for debug layer/level -- setting from usermode via a sysctl did not work. &a.njl;
Make lid and sleep button sysctls default to min(supported_states) -- lid switch now defaults to NONE, sleep button to minimum sleep state available.  
newbus attachments for cpu -- Get cpu devices under newbus so drivers like cpufreq can probe/attach. &a.njl;
Make CPU cx_lowest sysctl more readable -- Use C[1-9] instead of the index value. &a.njl;
Update EC GLK check -- Use the handle from the table to read _GLK instead of always defaulting to using the global lock. &a.njl;
Merge ECDT/EC probe &a.njl;
_INI methods -- run for all devices, not just Device objects. ACPI-CA now calls _INI for Devices, ThermalZones and Processors.  
Fix acpidump failing on several systems -- acpidump(8) fails on some systems. I suspect this may be in how we search low memory for the RSDP. Changed to only search EBDA (1 KB pointed to by 16 bit pointer at 0x40E) and high memory (0xE0000 - 0xFFFFF) according to the spec (section 5.2.2). &a.njl;
Fix apm compat interface -- Hacked around this in the userland utility by marking values >= 255 as "unknown". &a.njl;
Update GPE code to handle general device wake -- Also, disable GPEs that are not valid when entering a new sleep state. Without this, GPEs for the lid left enabled on a Thinkpad™ X22 restart the system after power off. Add userland interface for enabling device wake (done as per-device sysctls). &a.njl;
Fix shutdown routines to not poke all the events (causes auto power on for some people). Workaround is to set hw.acpi.disable_on_poweroff=0. Now that GPEs are properly disabled based on _PRW during suspend and poweroff, we can hopefully remove the call to acpi_Disable() in the poweroff path. We now handle the reboot case also by hooking device_shutdown().  
Cleanup acpidump/boot EBDA lengths.  
Fix acpi_cpu busy refcount -- We no longer use a refcount but instead avoid doing any housekeeping after re-enabling interrupts at the end of acpi_cpu_idle(). Otherwise, the context switch after unmasking ints could disrupt device state. &a.njl;
Do not print an error message for _PR0 method -- If not present, do not print an error in switch_consumer. &a.njl;
acpi sysresource probing -- Probe/attach acpi resources in the acpi bus and then dole it out to children as necessary. Requires rman(9). Includes more sophisticated handling of device ordering in scan. &a.njl;
Update ACPI blacklist -- Read entries from various OS's and add them to our blacklist table. &a.njl;, &a.marks;
Fix general wake code -- remove use of device_t flags as they may collide with the driver. Use an acpi ivar instead. Fix for non-acpi devices as well by using a bus walk routine instead of device_suspend. Add code to turn on appropriate power resources. Disable EC in shutdown path. &a.njl;
Fix drivers and the apm compat interface -- Currently, the apm compat interface expects byte values but the ABI used is a set of u_ints and an int. Either the apm or acpi battery drivers (or both) are setting the value to -1, which results in 0xffffffff being passed back as the current state. Really, only 255 should be returned in this case. The apm userland utility marks values >= 255 as "unknown" to work around this. But really the underlying drivers should be fixed. &a.imp;
Fix EC timeouts -- move to a sx lock to cover EcWait instead of a mutex so we can hold it across msleep. This fixed the timed out errors that occurred occasionally for some users.  
Package all info on how to do an ACPI import -- done and handed off to &a.marks; for inclusion in the acpi projects website. &a.njl;
ACPI floppy driver probing -- Add a fdc_acpi_probe method to enumerate floppies using _FDE, _FDI methods. &a.njl;
Rework ACPI PCI link support -- _DIS all links, ignore invalid _CRS, ignore _STA, assume _SRS succeeds. &a.njl;
Fix EISA probe not to write to registers. Turns out an inb actually triggers the boot hang. Patch committed to only probe the first slot; however, this breaks the Adaptec VLB adapter (not EISA). &a.gibbs; is fixing that device's probe.  
Giant-free locking -- Remove dependency on Giant. &a.njl;
Add SSDT support to acpidump(8) -- Right now we only dump the fixed tables and DSDT. Change acpidump(8) to dump the SSDT tables. It currently concatenates them with the DSDT. &a.marcel;
Change shutdown path -- do not use smp_rendezvous() since it acquires a spinlock. Instead, MI code should run the shutdown path only on the BSP and all other processors should be halted. &a.peter;
Turn ACPI and PCI devices off or to a lower power state in suspend and back on again in resume. Override the default of D3 with the value the BIOS specifies in _SxD, if present. Skip serial devices (PNP05xx) since they seem to hang when set to D3 and may require special driver support. Also skip non-type 0 PCI devices (i.e., bridges) since they don't seem to handle being powered off.

Project Goal

The FreeBSD C99 & &posix; Conformance Project aims to implement all requirements of the ISO 9899:1999 (C99) and IEEE 1003.1-2001 (POSIX) standards. In cases where aspects of these standards cannot be followed, those aspects will be documented in the c99(7) or posix(7) manuals. It is also an aim of this project to implement regression tests to ensure correctness whenever possible.

Project Plan

All of the initial development takes place in the 5-CURRENT branch and most changes are merged into the 4-STABLE branch. Since this is a rather large project and is being done on a volunteer basis, there is no set schedule.

How to Contribute

The project is always looking for additional contributors. If you wish to participate, the best way to find out what is happening is to subscribe to the freebsd-standards mailing list. If you are working on a specific task relating to the project, you should contact mike@FreeBSD.org with a description of the task so that your task can be listed below.

                                  RELEASE NOTES
                              FreeBSD 2.1.5 RELEASE
 
 0. What is this release?
 ------------------------
 FreeBSD 2.1.5R is the follow-on release to 2.1R and focuses primarily
 on fixing bugs, closing security holes and conservative enhancements.
 For more information on bleeding-edge development, please see
 http://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/current.html.
 
 
 1. What's New since 2.1.0-RELEASE?
 ----------------------------------
 Quite a few things have changed since the last major release
 of FreeBSD.  To make it easier to identify specific changes,
 we've broken them into several major categories:
 
 
 Device Drivers:
 ---------------
 Support for the Adaptec AIC7850 on-board SCSI adapter.
 
 Support for Specialix SI and XIO serial cards.
 
 Support for the Stallion EasyIO, EasyConnection 8/32 and
 EasyConnection 8/64, as well as the older Onboard and Brumby serial
 cards.
 
 Support for the Intel EtherExpress Pro/100B PCI ethernet card.
 
 Real PCI Buslogic support (new driver and probing order).
 
 Support for the ARNET (now Digiboard) Sync 570i high-speed serial card.
 
 Better support for the Matrox Meteor frame grabber card.
 
 Support for the Connectix Quickcam (parallel port camera).
 
 Worm driver - it is now possible to burn CDROMs using the Plasmon or
 HP 4080i CDR drives (see
 
 wormcontrol(1)).  NOTE: If your drive
 probes as a CD rather than a WORM, some additional patches may be
 required from -current to get it working for you.  We decided not to
 bring these changes over by default as they make too many changes to
 the SCSI subsystem (not necessarily bad changes, but more risky).
 
 
 Kernel features:
 ----------------
 Various VM system enhancements and more than a few bugs fixed.
 
 A concatenated disk driver for simple types of RAID applications.
 See the man page for 
 ccd(4)>
 for more information.
 
 Real PCI bus probing (before ISA) and support for various PCI bridges.
 
 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).
 
 
 
 Userland code updates:
 ----------------------
 
 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) as well as more useful in the
 post-install scenario (I know, I keep saying this :-).
 
 Many improvements to the NIS code.
 
 The ncftp program is no longer part of the default system - it has been
 replaced by a library (/usr/src/lib/libftpio) and a more powerful program
 which uses it called ``fetch'' (/usr/src/usr.bin/fetch).  You may find
 ncftp as part of the ports collection (in /usr/ports/net/ncftp) if you
 still wish to use it, though fetch is slightly more capable in that
 it can fetch from both FTP and HTTP servers (ftp://... or http://... URLs).
 See the man page for more details.
 
 
 2. Technical overview
 ---------------------
 
 FreeBSD is a freely available, full source 4.4 BSD Lite based release
 for Intel i386/i486/Pentium (or compatible) based PC's.  It is based
 primarily on software from U.C. Berkeley's CSRG group, with some
 enhancements from NetBSD, 386BSD, and the Free Software Foundation.
 
 Since our release of FreeBSD 2.0 over a year ago, the performance,
 feature set and stability of FreeBSD has improved dramatically.  The
 largest change is a revamped VM system with a merged VM/file buffer
 cache that not only increases performance but reduces FreeBSD's memory
 footprint, making a 5MB configuration a more acceptable minimum.
 Other enhancements include full NIS client and server support,
 transaction TCP support, dial-on-demand PPP, an improved SCSI
 subsystem, early ISDN support, support for FDDI and Fast Ethernet
 (100Mbit) adapters, improved support for the Adaptec 2940 (WIDE and
 narrow) and 3940 SCSI adaptors along with many hundreds of bug fixes.
 
 We've taken the comments and suggestions of many of our users to
 heart and have attempted to provide what we hope is a more sane and
 easily understood installation process.  Your feedback on this
 (constantly evolving) process is especially welcome!
 
 In addition to the base distributions, FreeBSD offers a new ported
 software collection with over 450 commonly sought-after programs.  The
 list of ports ranges from http (WWW) servers, to games, languages,
 editors and almost everything in between.  The entire ports collection
 requires only 10MB of storage, all ports being expressed as "deltas"
 to their original sources.  This makes it much easier for us to update
 ports and greatly reduces the disk space demands made by the ports
 collection.  To compile a port, you simply change to the directory of
 the program you wish to install, type make and let the system do the
 rest.  The full original distribution for each port you build is
 retrieved dynamically off of CDROM or a local ftp site, so you need
 only enough disk space to build the ports you want.  (Almost) every
 port is also provided as a pre-compiled "package" which can be
 installed with a simple command (pkg_add).  See also the new Packages
 option in the Configuration menu for an especially convenient interface
 to the package collection.
 
 
 A number of additional documents which you may find helpful in the
 process of installing and using FreeBSD may now also be found in the
 /usr/share/doc directory.  You may view the manuals with any HTML
 capable browser by saying:
 
   To read the handbook:
       <browser> file:/usr/share/doc/handbook/handbook.html
 
   To read the FAQ:
       <browser> file:/usr/share/doc/FAQ/freebsd-faq.html
 
 You can also visit the master (and most frequently updated) copies at
 http://www.FreeBSD.org.
 
 The export version of FreeBSD does not contain DES code which would
 inhibit its being exported outside the United States.  There is an
 add-on package to the core distribution which contains the programs
 and libraries that normally use DES.  A freely exportable (from
 outside the U.S.)  distribution of DES for our non-U.S. users also
 exists at ftp://ftp.internat.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD.
 
 If password security for FreeBSD is all you need and you have no
 requirement for copying encrypted passwords from different hosts
 (Suns, DEC machines, etc) into FreeBSD password entries, then
 FreeBSD's MD5 based security may be all you require!  We feel that our
 default security model is more than a match for DES, and without any
 messy export issues to deal with.  If you're outside (or even inside)
 the U.S., give it a try!  This snapshot also includes support for
 mixed password files - either DES or MD5 passwords will be accepted,
 making it easier to transition from one scheme to the other.
 
 
 3. Supported Configurations
 ---------------------------
 
 FreeBSD currently runs on a wide variety of ISA, VLB, EISA and PCI bus
 based PC's, ranging from 386sx to Pentium Pro 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 disk controllers and ethernet cards
 currently known to work with FreeBSD.  Other configurations may also
 work, but we have simply not received any confirmation of this.
 
 
 3.1. Disk Controllers
 ---------------------
 
 WD1003 (any generic MFM/RLL)
 WD1007 (any generic IDE/ESDI)
 IDE
 ATA
 
 Adaptec 152x series ISA SCSI controllers
 Adaptec 154x series ISA SCSI controllers
 Adaptec 174x series EISA SCSI controller in standard and enhanced mode.
 Adaptec 274X/284X/2940/3940 (Narrow/Wide/Twin) series ISA/EISA/PCI SCSI
 controllers.
 Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 based boards, which includes
 Adaptec AIC7850 on-board SCSI controllers.
 the AHA-152x and SoundBlaster SCSI cards.
 
 ** Note: You cannot boot from the SoundBlaster cards as they have no
    on-board BIOS, such being necessary for mapping the boot device into the
    system BIOS I/O vectors.  They're perfectly usable for external tapes,
    CDROMs, etc, however.  The same goes for any other AIC-6x60 based card
    without a boot ROM.  Some systems DO have a boot ROM, which is generally
    indicated by some sort of message when the system is first powered up
    or reset, and in such cases you *will* also be able to boot from them.
    Check your system/board documentation for more details.

 4. Obtaining FreeBSD
 --------------------
 
 You may obtain FreeBSD in a variety of ways:
 
 4.1. 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 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@decwrl.dec.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!
 
 
 4.2. CDROM
 
 FreeBSD 2.1-RELEASE and these 2.2 SNAPSHOT CDs may be ordered on CDROM from:
 
         Walnut Creek CDROM

 Your credit card will be billed when each disk is shipped and you may cancel
 your subscription at any time without further obligation.
 
 Walnut Creek CDROM also sells a full line of FreeBSD related
 merchandise such as T-shirts ($14.95, available in "child", Large and
 XL sizes), coffee mugs ($9.95), tattoos ($0.25 each) and posters
 ($3.00).
 
 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.
 
 
 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.  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:
 
                 bugs@FreeBSD.org
 
 
 Otherwise, for any questions or suggestions, please send mail to:
 
                 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:

 Last minute errata:
 -------------------
 o login as root produces "login_getclass: unknown class 'root'" on system console.
 
 Fix:  If you have the source distribution installed, simply
       cp /usr/src/etc/login.conf /etc
       otherwise, get it from the FreeBSD FTP site using this URL:
       ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/etc/login.conf
       instead.  Simply cd to /etc and then run fetch(1) with the provided URL.
 
 
 o sysconfig scrambles rc.conf if run again.
 
 Fix:  Get updated /usr/src from RELENG_2_2 branch and build
       /usr/src/release/sysinstall, copying the new binary to /stand.
 
       If you do not have enough space for src then you could also
       use the boot/fixit floppy combo from a later 2.2-YYMMDD-RELENG
       release to simply mount your root partition (using the Fixit
       option) and copy /stand/sysinstall from the floppy to /stand on
       your root fs.
 
 
 o Installation floppy does not boot at all - whereas the 2.2.1 floppy
   worked fine.  I get a "panic: double fault" right after it tries to
   change the root device to fd0c.
 
 Fix:  The problem is that you have 48MB of RAM and something very
       mysterious has happened to FreeBSD twixt 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 which makes
       it fail with just that exact memory size.  Given the popularity of
       16MB simms, it also explains why none of us have seen it since we
       typically have either 16MB, 32MB or 64MB of memory in our systems. :)
 
       We're working on finding and fixing this problem, but until then
       the following work-around is in effect for 48MB systems:
 
       1. Boot the 2.2.2 boot floppy and when it comes to the first menu which
          asks you whether or not you want to go into the kernel configuration
          editor, choose the "experts only" CLI mode option.  Now type:
 
 	      iosize npx0 32768
 	      visual
-	      < and do your visual kernel configuration as normal then exit>
+	      < and do your visual kernel configuration as normal then exit>
 
          If you can get through to the installation, go to step 3.
 
       2. If the above does not work, physically remove all but 32MB of memory
          from your machine and then boot the boot floppy.  Unless your problem
          is totally weird and something we've not seen at all before, you
          should now be able to go on to step 3.
 
       3. Complete the installation and then boot off your hard disk.  This
          boot should work fine, since you are no longer using the memory
          filesystem that the installation uses and which seems to interact
          badly with these memory size issues to create the failure you saw.
 
          You will also want to boot with the -c flag at some point and
          say "iosize npx0 0" to get the full use of all your memory back
          since the old value of 32768 will have been saved to disk during
          the initial installation.  If you already plan on building a custom
          kernel, you can skip this step since the value will be reset anyway.

 ================================================================
                          RELEASE NOTES
                  FreeBSD 2.2.8-RELEASE VERSION
 ================================================================
 
 1. What's new since 2.2.7
 -------------------------
 
 Kernel features:
 ----------------
 o Add support for >8G IDE drives.
 
 o Add support for 3Com 3c905B ethernet adapters
 
 o Add support for PCI ThunderLAN-based ethernet adapters (Compaq/Olicom)
 
 o Significantly improve Linux emulator again.  Things like QuakeII should
   just run out-of-the-box now (given the rest of their requirements).
 
 o Major changes from -current's pthread implementation merged: This includes
   file locking based on FILE *, signal fixes, read/write-locks, better POSIX
   compliance and better performance.
 
 o Add a new flexible bandwidth limiter/delay emulator called
   dummynet. See dummynet(4).
 
 o Add support for bridging on multiple interfaces (10 and 100 Mbit/s).
   See bridge(4).
 
 o NFS client accelerator added.  See 'nfs_access_cache' in rc.conf(5).
 
 
 Userland features:
 ------------------
 
 o /bin/sh signal and trap handling reworked. Among other things, this
   makes tty-mode emacs work when called from system(2), i.e. by a mail
   agent.
 
 o ppp(8) merged from 3.0, adding features like multilink and VPN
   support as well as fixing a number of known bugs.
 
 
 Security issues:
 ----------------
 
 o All open CERT/Bugtraq advisories reported since 2.2.7's release
   have been dealt with.
 
 
 2. Supported Configurations
 ---------------------------
 
 FreeBSD currently runs on a wide variety of ISA, VLB, EISA 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.
 
 
 2.1. Disk Controllers
 ---------------------
 
 WD1003 (any generic MFM/RLL)

 controllers.
 Adaptec AIC7850 on-board SCSI controllers.
 
 ** Note: You cannot boot from the SoundBlaster cards as they have no
    on-board BIOS, such being necessary for mapping the boot device into the
    system BIOS I/O vectors.  They're perfectly usable for external tapes,
    CDROMs, etc, however.  The same goes for any other AIC-6x60 based card
    without a boot ROM.  Some systems DO have a boot ROM, which is generally
    indicated by some sort of message when the system is first powered up
    or reset, and in such cases you *will* also be able to boot from them.
    Check your system/board documentation for more details.

 -------------
 
 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.
 
 
 3.2. CDROM
 ----------
 
 FreeBSD 3.0-SNAP and 2.2.x-RELEASE CDs may be ordered on CDROM from:
 
         Walnut Creek CDROM

 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. 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!
