Technical overview ---------------------- - -FreeBSD is a freely available, full source 4.3 (+4.4 enhancements) BSD -release for Intel i386/i486 (or compatable) based PC's. It is based -heavily on Bill Jolitz's 386BSD 0.1, with additions from "the patchkit", -NetBSD, CSRG, and the Free Software Foundation. - -Many hundreds of bugs from the 386BSD 0.1 distribution were fixed, -and many out-of-date pieces of software were upgraded to their current -releases in the GAMMA distribution. This 1.1 distribution fixes -many of the first-run problems our BETA and GAMMA users reported back -to us. - -Additionally, many packages such as XFree86 2.1, xview 3.2, elm, nntp, -mh, InterViews and dozens of other miscellaneous utilities have been ported -and are now available as add-ons. See then next section of this document -for more details. - -For a list of contributors, please see the files "CONTRIB.FreeBSD" and -"CONTRIB.386BSD", which should be bundled with your distribution. - -The core 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, for use only in the United States, that -contains the programs that normally use DES. The auxiliary packages -provided separately can be used by anyone. A freely (from outside the U.S.) -exportable European distribution of DES for our non U.S. users also exists -and is described in the FreeBSD FAQ. - - -2. Supported Configurations ---------------------------- - -FreeBSD currently runs on a wide variety of ISA and EISA bus based -PC's, ranging from 386sx to 486 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. - -Following is a list of all currently known disk controllers and -ethernet cards known to work with FreeBSD. Other configurations may -very well work, and we have simply not received any indication of -this. - - -2.1. Disk Controllers - -WD1003 (any generic MFM/RLL) -WD1007 (any generic IDE/ESDI) - -Adaptec 154x series ISA SCSI controller (as long as you have less than -16MB of main memory). - -Adaptec 174x series EISA SCSI controller in standard and enhanced mode. - -[Note that Buslogic was formerly known as "Bustec"] -Buslogic 545S. -Buslogic 445S VLB SCSI controller -Buslogic 742A and 747. -Please see special notes in /usr/src/KNOWNBUGS (filed under bt742a.c) for -details concerning possible buggy firmware and undocumented switch settings -that may be necessary for proper operation of your controller. - -DTC 3290 EISA SCSI controller in 1542 emulation mode. - -Ultra Store 14F and 34F. - -Seagate ST01/02 SCSI controllers. - -Future Domain 8xx/950 series SCSI controllers. - -With all supported SCSI controllers, full support is provided for -SCSI-I & SCSI-II peripherals, including Disks, tape drives (including -DAT) and CD ROM drives. Note: This and the mcd driver (Mitsumi CDROM -interface card) is the only way a CD ROM drive may be currently -attached to a FreeBSD system; we do not support SoundBlaster CDROM -interface, or other "mini SCSI" adapters. - -Some controllers have limitations with the way they deal with >16MB of memory, -due to the fact that the ISA bus only has a DMA address space of 24 bits. -If you do your arithmetic, you'll see that this makes it impossible to do -direct DMA to any address >16MB. This limitation is even true of some -EISA controllers (which are normally 32 bit) when they're configured to -emulate an ISA card, which they then do in *all* respects. This problem -is avoided entirely by IDE controllers (which do not use DMA), true EISA -controllers (like the UltraStor or Adaptec 1742A) and most VLB (local bus) -controllers. In these cases, the system will use "bounce buffers" to -to talk to the controller, and is generally the default. - - -2.2. Ethernet cards - -SMC Elite 16 WD8013 ethernet interface, and most other WD8003E, -WD8003EBT, WD8003W, WD8013W, WD8003S, WD8003SBT and WD8013EBT -based clones. - -Isolan AT 4141-0 (16 bit) - -Isolink 4110 (8 bit) - -Novell NE1000, NE2000, and NE2100 ethernet interface. - -3Com 3C503 Etherlink II - -3Com 3C509 Ethernet cards - -Toshiba ethernet cards - -SMC Elite Ultra - - -2.3. Misc - -AST 4 port serial card using shared IRQ. - -ARNET 8 port serial card using shared IRQ. - -BOCA ATIO66 6 port serial card using shared IRQ. - -STB 4 port card using shared IRQ. - -Mitsumi (all models) CDROM interface and drive. - -Adlib, Soundblaster, Soundblaster Pro, ProAudioSpectrum, Gravis UltraSound -and Roland MPU-401 sound cards. - -FreeBSD currently does NOT support IBM's microchannel (MCA) bus, but -support is apparently close to materializing. Details will be posted -as they develop. - - -3. Obtaining FreeBSD. ---------------------- - -You may obtain FreeBSD in a variety of ways: - -1. FTP/Mail - -You can ftp FreeBSD and any or all of its optional packages from -`freebsd.cdrom.com' - the official FreeBSD release site. - -For other locations that mirror the FreeBSD software see the file -MIRROR.SITES. Please ftp the distribution from the nearest site -to you netwise. - -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 from freebsd.cdrom.com. -Note: This approach will end up sending many *tens of megabytes* -through the mail, and should only be employed as an absolute LAST -resort! - - -2. CDROM - -FreeBSD may be ordered on CDROM from: - - Walnut Creek CDROM - 4041 Pike Lane, Suite D - Concord CA 94520 - 1-800-786-9907, +1-510-674-0783, +1-510-674-0821 (fax) - -Or via the internet from orders@cdrom.com. There current catalog can -be obtained via ftp as ftp.cdrom.com:/cdrom/catalog. - -Cost is $39.95. Shipping (per order not per disc) is $5 in the US, Canada, -or Mexico and $10.00 overseas. They accept Visa, Mastercard, American -Express, and ship COD to 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. - -Note that Walnut Creek CDROM does NOT provide technical support for FreeBSD, -you need to contact the FreeBSD team for that. Please see section 4 for -more information. - - -It should be noted, lest you get the wrong impression that "FreeBSD" -is anything but, that almost no one in the "core team" makes money -from distributions or anything else connected with FreeBSD. We simply -provide this information as a public service for those wishing to get -their releases from somewhere other than the net (and the easier it -is for you to obtain our software, the happier we are). - - -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 prefered method to submit bug reports from a machine with internet -mail connectivity is to use the sendbug 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. - -If, for some reason, you are unable to use the sendbug command to -submit a bug report, you can try to send it to: - - FreeBSD-bugs@freefall.cdrom.com - - -Otherwise, for any questions or suggestions, please send mail to: - - FreeBSD-questions@freefall.cdrom.com - -Additionally, being a volunteer effort, we are always happy to have -extra hands willing to help - there are already far more enhancements -to be done than we can ever manage to do by ourselves! To contact us -on technical matters, or with offers of help, you may send mail to: - - FreeBSD-hackers@freefall.cdrom.com - -Since these mailing lists can experience significant amounts of -traffic, if you've got slow or expensive mail access and you're -only interested in keeping up with significant FreeBSD events, you may -find it preferable to subscribe to: - - FreeBSD-announce@freefall.cdrom.com - - -All but the FreeBSD-bugs groups can be freely joined by anyone wishing to -do so. Send mail to MajorDomo@freefall.cdrom.com 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. - - -5. Acknowledgements -------------------- - -FreeBSD represents the cumulative work of many dozens, if not -hundreds, of individuals from around the world who have worked very -hard to bring you this release.

Disk Controllers - -WD1003 (any generic MFM/RLL) -WD1007 (any generic IDE/ESDI) - -Adaptec 154x series ISA SCSI controller (as long as you have less than -16MB of main memory). - -Adaptec 174x series EISA SCSI controller in standard and enhanced mode. - -[Note that Buslogic was formerly known as "Bustec"] -Buslogic 545S. -Buslogic 445S VLB SCSI controller -Buslogic 742A and 747. -Buslogic 942A PCI - -Please see special notes in /usr/src/KNOWNBUGS (filed under bt742a.c) for -details concerning possible buggy firmware and undocumented switch settings -that may be necessary for proper operation of your Bt445S controller. - -DTC 3290 EISA SCSI controller in 1542 emulation mode. - -Ultra Store 14F and 34F. - -Seagate ST01/02 SCSI controllers. - -Future Domain 8xx/950 series SCSI controllers. - -With all supported SCSI controllers, full support is provided for -SCSI-I & SCSI-II peripherals, including Disks, tape drives (including -DAT) and CD ROM drives. Note: This and the mcd driver (Mitsumi CDROM -interface card) is the only way a CD ROM drive may be currently -attached to a FreeBSD system; we do not support SoundBlaster CDROM -interface, or other "mini SCSI" adapters. - -Some controllers have limitations with the way they deal with >16MB of memory, -due to the fact that the ISA bus only has a DMA address space of 24 bits. -If you do your arithmetic, you'll see that this makes it impossible to do -direct DMA to any address >16MB. This limitation is even true of some -EISA controllers (which are normally 32 bit) when they're configured to -emulate an ISA card, which they then do in *all* respects. This problem -is avoided entirely by IDE controllers (which do not use DMA), true EISA -controllers (like the UltraStor or Adaptec 1742A) and most VLB (local bus) -controllers. In the cases where it's necessary, the system will use -"bounce buffers" to talk to the controller so that you can still use -more than 16Mb of memory without difficulty. - - -2.2.

Technical overview +--------------------- + +FreeBSD is a freely available, full source 4.3 (+4.4 enhancements) BSD +release for Intel i386/i486 (or compatable) based PC's. It is based +on Bill Jolitz's 386BSD 0.1, with additions from "the patchkit", +NetBSD, CSRG, and the Free Software Foundation. + +Since our first release of FreeBSD 1.0, many hundreds of bugs have been +fixed, features added, and the overall quality of the system improved +almost imeasurably. FreeBSD 1.1.5 represents the culmination of almost +18 months of work and many thousands of man hours put in by our all-volunteer +working group. We hope you enjoy it! + +Many packages have also been upgraded or added, such as XFree86 2.1, +xview 3.2, elm, nntp, mh, InterViews and dozens of other miscellaneous +utilities have been ported and are now available as add-ons. See the next +section of this document for more details. + +For a list of contributors, please see the files "CONTRIB.FreeBSD" and +"CONTRIB.386BSD", which should be bundled with your distribution. + +Also see the new "REGISTER.FreeBSD" file for information on registering +with the "Free BSD user counter". We've also provided a list of who's +responsible for what (so that you may query them directly) in the +"ROSTER.FreeBSD" file; use of this file is encouraged to ensure faster +resolution of an problems you may have! + +The core 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, for use only in the United States, that +contains the programs that normally use DES. The auxiliary packages +provided separately can be used by anyone. A freely (from outside the U.S.) +exportable European distribution of DES for our non U.S. users also exists +and is described in the FreeBSD FAQ. + + +2. Supported Configurations +--------------------------- + +FreeBSD currently runs on a wide variety of ISA, 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. + +Following is a list of all currently known disk controllers and +ethernet cards known to work with FreeBSD.
