linking with linux shared library

2005-05-28 Thread Simeon Nifos
Hallo everybody,

1:) Suppose I have a Linux Library library.so. 
And I want to link it with my main.c compiled
in FreeBSD. How can I achieve that?

Thanks in advance!
Simeon!

Re: Good CPUTYPE setting for make.conf for mixed environment?

No and no.

 Or should I use a lowest
 common denominator (and if so, what -- something like i686 perhaps?).

I think i686 should be OK.

 I guess the other question is whether I should worry about this at all
 -- I've got no CPUTYPE setting in make.conf at the moment at all --
 would a more tuned setting actually make that much difference?

Probably not much of one.  More important are your kernel settings
(e.g. not compiling your kernel with i386/i486 support).

/usr/local/etc/rc.d and rcNG style scripts question

2005-05-28 Thread Chad Leigh -- Shire.Net LLC

I read the handbook and the man page for rc and one question remains.

For scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d it appears that the assumption is  
that all scripts are old style and so, no matter if they are rcGN  
style scripts or not, they will all run in lexographic order, right?


Thanks
Chad

Acer 4151LMI notebook help needed

2005-05-28 Thread Wojciech Puchar
1) mouse is not found. it is recognized as PS/2 mouse by NetBSD 
2.0 live CD, Linux 2.4 (Knoppix tested), Windows XP.


with FreeBSD (5.4) it isn't recognized at all

2) kernel boots at all when selecting 2 - ACPI enabled from boot menu. 
default boot reboots just after starting kernel. anyway LOTS of errors 
goes when booting


3) Novatel Wireless Merlin U530 (UMTS/GPRS) PCMCIA module doesn't 
work. it isn't attached at all. with linux it's detected as serial port
and then pppd/chat combination works perfect to connect to internet (by GSM 
operator).


thank you for any help  Wojtek

PS. 3 DVD's from full mirror already done and works fine. wasn't that 
difficult :)

HP LC II Netserver ACPI problem

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


Following is from dmesg:

vga0: Generic ISA VGA at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa-0xb on isa0
unknown: PNP0303 can't assign resources (port)
unknown: PNP0f13 can't assign resources (irq)

unknown: PNP0700 can't assign resources (port)
unknown: PNP0401 can't assign resources (port)

I've read and googled for days and the following is
what I'v either learned or think I've learned:

1. Can't use ACPI on here. Machine not capable, apparently.
   Hence, the following:

ACPI-0159: *** Error: AcpiLoadTables: Could not get RSDP, AE_NO_ACPI_TABLES
ACPI-0213: *** Error: AcpiLoadTables: Could not load tables: AE_NO_ACPI_TABLES
ACPI: table load failed: AE_NO_ACPI_TABLES

2. Have apic enabled in kernel  no problems that I know of
3. I think I'm supposed to disable plug and play in the
   bios but I can't find any simple way to do it. There
   are some choices under the Configuration portion of
   the bios menu under
 ISA non-Plug-and-Play Devices
   List of Memory resources, all available, none reserved
   List of Interrupt resources, all available, none reserved
   List of DMA resources, all available, none reserved
   List of I/O resources, all available, none reserved

I have no idea how to match them up with the output of vga0
shown above, that is, to reserve the proper areas for its use.
I tried working with it the other night  wound up locking
the computer up rock solid. Would not boot. Had to pull the
cmos battery  put back  reset everything back to where it
had been to boot again. One of the first things I did after
reading in the mail archives, googling, etc., was to boot
to ACPI enabled, I assume which loads a kernel module instead
of it having to be compiled in. Have output of that error
message above too.
Any help would sure be appreciated. Tired of no sleep, trying
to figure this out.

vinum does not like FBSD 5.4
or vice versa
it is not supported

you could manually 'setstate up var.p1.s0' and 'setstate up var.p1'
that should work
i tested it with a raid 1 mirror, removed the HD that came up ok and  
checked if the mirror would still come up, which it did

i do definitely not recommend it though
while you aren't still useing the raid, go use something else than vinum


Doesn't seem like this is right. I also run into a problem when  
trying to

do a resetconfig:

vinum - resetconfig
 WARNING!  This command will completely wipe out your vinum  
configuration.

 All data will be lost.  If you really want to do this, enter the text

 NO FUTURE
 Enter text - NO FUTURE
Can't find vinum config: Inappropriate ioctl for device

you'll be getting this all the time if yu continue to use vinum in  
FBSD 5.4
and the configuration is still there after I try to resetconfig.  
When I
reboot and do I vinum start, I get an error that there are no  
drives in

the vinum config.


do 'vinum read' but expect to have kernel panics...

Problems while starting rc.d local files

2005-05-28 Thread Vittorio De Martino
Towards the end of the boot process while starting the processes 
under /usr/local/etc/rc.d (I think)  freebsd 5.4 warns about something wrong 
that I cannot find in the log files dmesg.boot, dmesg, messages.
The warning (nothing fatal happens!) I eye is as follows:

Pre-seeding PRNG: kickstart
Loading configuration files
This: not found


and the sentence  This: not found pops up till the end of the boot.

Where can I find a glue on what's happening, what's going wrong?

not assisted any.


Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

tape record bigger than supplied buffer

2005-05-28 Thread Damian Sobieralski
 I'm test piloting bacula on a FreeBSD 5.4-REL system.  All seemed to
work well in monitored tests. So last night I set up a job to run at
night.  When I came in this morning, all seemed to go well...the backup
happened but I noticed 3 messages on the console:

(sa0:ahc0:0:6:0): 65536-byte tape record bigger than supplied buffer
(sa0:ahc0:0:6:0): 65536-byte tape record bigger than supplied buffer
(sa0:ahc0:0:6:0): 65536-byte tape record bigger than supplied buffer

  Realizing this means what it does at face value, was any data lost
(should i take this as a warning or as an error) ?

I would say if you are not fully loaded it would make no difference.  
Then if you are you need to check to see if even using CPUTYPE=i686 
speeds up some and slows some down.  It does not really matter for the 
kernel, the kernel does not use SSE or any special instructions AFAIK.

Vinum problems on FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE

2005-05-28 Thread Kris Kirby

Trying to make a mirror of two slices, but I see to be running into some 
issues here. I'm not on questions, so please CC me on all replies.

# /etc/vinum.conf
volume var
plex name var.p0 org concat
drive va device /dev/ad0s1g
sd name var.p0.s0 drive va length 256m
plex name var.p1 org concat
drive vb device /dev/ad1s1d
sd name var.p1.s0 drive vb length 256m

When I create it, using -f, I get:

vinum - l
2 drives:
D vaState: up   /dev/ad0s1g A: 1791/2048 MB 
(87%) - note triple allocation
D vbState: up   /dev/ad1s1d A: 255/512 MB 
(49%)

1 volumes: V var State: up Plexes:  2 Size:  256 MB

2 plexes: 
P var.p0 C State: up Subdisks:  1 Size:  256 MB
P var.p1 C State: faulty Subdisks:  1 Size:  256 MB

2 subdisks: 
S var.p0.s0 State: up D: va Size:  256 MB
S var.p1.s0 State: empty D: vb Size:  256 MB

Doesn't seem like this is right. I also run into a problem when trying to 
do a resetconfig:

vinum - resetconfig
 WARNING!  This command will completely wipe out your vinum configuration.
 All data will be lost.  If you really want to do this, enter the text

 NO FUTURE
 Enter text - NO FUTURE
Can't find vinum config: Inappropriate ioctl for device

and the configuration is still there after I try to resetconfig. When I 
reboot and do I vinum start, I get an error that there are no drives in 
the vinum config.

Hi

Have I missed something -- I do not see any notes for source upgrade from 5.3

Are the procedures notes to be found elsewhere?

   Hello list,
   
   I upgraded a few 5.3 servers to 5.4 yesterday and everything seemed
   to go well. After booting the new kernel, dmesg correctly showed 2
   logical cpus (1 xeon with HT).
   
   However, when I look at top's output, it always shows at least 50%
   cpu idle time - even when the load is above 10. To confirm this, I
   ran burnP6 from the cpuburn port - even with over a hundred apache
   processes going, exim running and a few other things, top still
   reported the cpu as 50% idle. The 'C' column in top, between 'State'
   and 'Time' also shows everything as being run on cpu 0.
   
   `ps ax | grep cpu` reports this:
11  ??  RL 0:00.00 [idle: cpu1]
12  ??  RL   931:45.24 [idle: cpu0]
   108  ??  DL 0:04.02 [schedcpu]
   
   So it looks like smp support is enabled and it sees the HT enabled
   processor, but it's not using the second logical cpu. Is there
   something I missed in compiling the kernel, or is this a bug? I have
   confirmed it on two 5.4 servers now.
  
  Oh, wait, it is probably just the last HT security patch,
  ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-05:09.htt.asc.
 
 hmm... So basically, SMP can be enabled, but it won't use HT even if it
 sees a capable processor? 

By default..it's a trivial matter of setting a loader tunable.  Please
read the advisory.

 (maybe) many more...

why can't FBSD create /dev/ad0s2e?

2005-05-28 Thread Gary Kline
On my one box that has a 5G windows installation, I had 
(after the w2k)  my RH-8.0.  Last night I deleted the 
Linux stuff leaving only NTFS.  I then tryed to install'
FreeBSD on the remaining ~~34G, but when I went to the
menu to create the slices, a screen showed the err message
Can't create /dev/ad0s2e [or whatever].

Am I doing something dense?  Upon quitting F1 pointed to ??
which I let bring up windows.  Only a week ago I booted RH 
without any problem so it doesn't seem likely that the 
roughly 33-34GB are suddenly trashed.  I did try to use 
*all* of the remaining disk, then use the FBSD bootloader,
then chose A for the automatic default.  Got error message;
then started over and tried using 30G, then 25G, then 15 and
10GB.  

Any suggestions on what I can try next?

Oh, something else to try:

I checked through my notes and discovered that I had gotten UDP to work in

  are forwarded to em0 through the bridge.
 
  The problem manifests itself in large UDP NFS requests from Clusters 3

  small transfers such as with ls work fine, but the moment any serious
  data transfer starts, the entire mount just hangs. Running ethereal on
  the file server shows a a lot of fragmented packets, and RPC
  retransmissions on just a single request. Reducing the read and write
  NFS buffers on the Linux clients to 1kB from the default of 4kB solves
  the issue, but kills the transfer rate. The moment I go to 2kB, the
  problem reappearss. Clusters 1 and 2 use the default of 4kB buffers, and
  have no problems communicating to em0.
 
  Poking through the list archives, I ran across this message
  (http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2003-May/001007.html)
  that reveals a bug in the fxp(4) driver in 4-RELEASE that incorrectly
  detects the capabilities of the NIC. Is this still an issue in
  5-RELEASE, or am I looking at a different problem? Any ideas on how I
  can get the NFS buffers up to a reasonable level?

 That problem was fixed quite some time ago.

 Which transfer direction fails?
   Client writing to server
   Client reading from server
   Both?

 Do you see all the fragments in the retransmitted request?

 hmm... So basically, SMP can be enabled, but it won't use HT even if it
 sees a capable processor? 
 
 Unless you use the ULE scheduler (which is broken and buggy on
 RELENG_5) there is no benefit to using HT. In fact, it will make some
 things worse.

Are you sure about that?  I'm using the BSD scheduler on 5.3
(upgrading to 5.4 later today), with HT enabled, and I don't have
problems.  In fact, I can do a make buildworld AND play neverwinter

5.4 nfs install

Hello,
Trying to do a 5.4 nfs install. I've copied both disks to an nfs share,
however i'm getting an error that i'm only using disk0 and that perl is on
disk1, insert it. I've only got the one nfs installpoint and it has both
disks copied to it. Is there an extra step with 5.4?
Thanks.

 Towards the end of the boot process while starting the processes

 The warning (nothing fatal happens!) I eye is as follows:

 This: not found
 
 
 and the sentence  This: not found pops up till the end of the boot.
 
 Where can I find a glue on what's happening, what's going wrong?

One of the startup scripts is trying to execute a line that starts

Have you edited any of the files in /etc/rc.d to mistakenly contain
that, perhaps by removing the comment character (#) from the start
of a line?

Re: Files corrupt after copy!!!

2005-05-28 Thread Bigbrother




 I just copied my entire home directory from my Windows XP harddrive
(ad6)
 running NTFS over to my FreeBSD harddrive (ad4) running UFS2:
 ..

In the past I had faced a similar program. I found out that the errors were
caused by the DMA controller.
So I have disabled DMA hard disc and no write errors occur.

So In the rc.d directory I have created a script that runs 'atacontrol mode
[0-3] pio4 pio4' .

Thus I make all hard discs to operate in PIO4 mode. Even though it is a bit
slow I do not have any write errors at any disc any more. My machine has the
following two controllers:

atapci0: VIA 82C686 ATA66 controller port 0xd800-0xd80f at device 4.1 on
pci0
atapci1: Promise ATA100 controller port
0x8400-0x843f,0x8800-0x8803,0x9000-0x9007,0x9400-0x9403,0x
9800-0x9807 mem 0xda00-0xda01 irq 10 at device 17.0 on pci0


So try to use PIO4 mode for your discs and see if your data is ok.

Re: Adding a FormFeed to an LPR printcap file?

2005-05-28 Thread Rick Preston
Hi,

I believe that :sh is called suppress header and that it suppresses
the banner page.  Form feed is a control character.  hex 0c.  In the
past I have added it to the bottom of my text or PCL documents or
added it in the printer interface script on UNIX systems that use the
lpsystem print subsystem.  I'm not sure if it would go in the :if or
:of in the printcap or even how to add it (why I didn't respond
earlier)  I haven't worked on the BSD spooler since FreeBSD 3.3 so I'm
a little rusty.

You might look at the printer, I've seen on some where you can add a
timeout to eject the last page and if you are doing job based or page
based printing, you can set the value low.  If you are doing line
based printing, that could cause the printer to eject the paper before
you finish printing.

good luck,

Re: Top Posting (was: [Freebsd 5.4 not finding my NIC])

2005-05-28 Thread Jerry McAllister
 
 
 hay enough of this BS about top posting.  You have to wake up to the
 fact there are many people who belong to this list who are not UNIX
 bigots. 

No top posting has been the rule for the list for a long time - since 
the beginning as far as I know.The rule has nothing to do with UNIX.

It is completely about being able to have a reasonable exchange of 
information.   The list postings are conversational if they have more 
than one response and they often have many.   Several people created 
cute little demonstrations of what it is like to read upside down 
conversations.  It tends to discourage those with real knowledge, but 
too much real work to do to waste their time and energy deciphering 
non-sequential conversations, to contribute their useful information.

   Us win/outlook people have just as much right to post as the
 rest of you. And more to the point who the hell pointed this new
 comer of just 10 days (vizion) as the cop to be forcing his slanted
 views on the rest of us. To vizion aren't you suppose to be sailing
 your boat right now bound for Europe via Panama Canal. Only thing
 you have contributed is more background noise. This list was better
 with out you. so concentrate on your sailing before you get lost and
 need government help to save you from perishing at seas.

As I say, no top posting was not his idea.  He has just learned it
from those with more experience on this list.   Hope you will catch
up eventually.   Get with it!

If you really believe that top posting is better then this list gives you your

posting is more thoughtful way of making a contribution to a discussion than 
bottom posting. If you hold a contrary view then please give us all the 
benefit of your advice.

I  am sad you seem to feel the need to make personal attacks on someone who 
hold an alternative view in the belief that that will advance your cause or 
intimidate debate. Unfortunately there is  there is nothing i can do to 
convince you that such an aggresive approach may be as counter-productive on 
this list as it has been elsewhere.

In the long term I believe you could realize that the act of top posting has 
the same effect whether we post from any type of computer system - (I use win 
XP/2000/98, apple, Linux or Freebsd) so do not believe you need to be 
influenced by the fact you are using Microsoft Outlook as your mailer. 

I believe, in a technical mailing list,  the theme of concern for the reader 
is the central issue and that theme remains the same whatever mailer or OS 
you happen to use. I would like to persuade you to concentrate on that issue 
and not be be sidetracked by discussing my connection to the sea, which is as 
irrelevant to the discussion as your connection to Ohio. I want to hear what

Utter BS.  
expletives are funny -- for those of use with a sense of humor :-)

You don't have to move back and forth to the top and to 
the bottom. 

You need to move to the bottom before you post to remove unnecessary bottom 
material in any case. It is easy to forget to clean up when you top post - so 
why not move there and then post in the knowledge that you are thereby 
following the rules.

You have to move back and forth if there are a series of postings and the 
first posting is at the bottom and the last at the top. You move down to read 
the post and then up past what you have read through the previous post and 
then down through that one etc..

I understand that people need to feel that their contribution is important. 
For this reason I wonder,if for some people, the idea of bottom posting does 
not appeal because it puts their words after those contributed by others. 



A lot of us follow a thread and don't like to have to 
read the whole thread each time an update is made.

You dont have to read -- you just go to the end (sometimes you are surprised 
by postings you may have missed because you assumed you had read the whole 
thread and find out you had missed something- (I find top posters often fall 
into that trap) -- clean up and then post.
 
My reaction is there is truth in what you say for those who remember previous 
postings however for the majority who have not (including those who take the 
postings as a daily archive for corporate reference) that is not true. 

That is why the rule on all FreeBSD lists is against top posting -- and always 
has been (as it is for most mail lists)

Do you not think that in the immediacy of the dialogue it is easy to forget 
that the greatest value of our current contributions is the value they have 
as an archive? .

There are times 
when top posting is MORE APPROPRIATE and times when top post is LESS
APPROPRIATE.  
I hear you -- you do not need to shout grinz the question is more 
appropriate for whom? The reader or the writer?? For the to and fro of 
personal  correspondence I think I might be tempted to agree with you. But to 
make an assumption that everyone is following the posting well I think that 
is one assumption too many. 

Top posting is not evil 
I would concur -- but as my argument does not depend upon evilness it is not 
to my mind a relevant point :-)

and often is EASIER to read.
Your notion depends upon the mental model you have created for yourself to 
represent the mailing list world.  Why should you make such an assumption if 
your model does not take into account the reality that the communication is 
going to thousands of people most of whom will not read what is said for 
days? 
How can you make such an assumption if your model of readership does not take 
into account the fact that the majority of readers will not have any 
recollection of previous contributions?


But long drawn on threads are often read easier with
top posting so that those of us who remember what happened earlier in
the thread can get to the meat of it and we can just scroll down as
much as necessary to catch up.  If everyone top posted in a thread it

He means that some workloads will be slower with HT than without.
It's very much workload-specific though, so you have to test and see
how it performs for you.

Hi,

I checked out

and saw that NetGear WG311T was supported by Atheros
driver (ath). I went out to the store and got my self
a NetGear WG311T PCI Card. I put it in my box that
runs FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p15 #4. I Recompiled the
kernel with:

device ath
device ath_hal
device wlan

Unfortunately it did not work. I got this error
message from dmesg:

ath0: Atheros 5212 mem 0xfeae-0xfeae irq 11
at device 13.0 on pci2
ath0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
ath0: unable to attach hardware; HAL status 13

ifconfig do not show anything... what do I need to do
to get the card to work?
It says it should work on the FreeBSD's homepage, so I
assume it should work.

The release notes for 5-STABLE and 6-CURRENT have no references to the

src/UPDATING but they were probably removed during those releases where
the Migration Guide existed.  Some suitably motivated doc committer
could update them if necessary and bring them back.

Note that the Migration Guide was intended to address concerns of users
upgrading from 4.X to 5.X.  This is implied in its abstract and is
specifically stated in the introduction.

Depends on your BIOS. Look for a setting something like automatic power
restore that will detect when line power comes back and will restart
the system. Otherwise, nothing.

 Also, there are a number of deamons that could be run for APC UPS's
but which one
 is most popular?


/usr/ports/sysutils/nut but with an APC you can always check out
/usr/ports/sysutils/apcupsd, which is simpler to configure but less
powerful (go figure).

If that model ups only uses usb to talk to the computer you may want to
do some checking on the hardware compatibility listing under the release
you're using (www.freebsd.org). Last time I looked (admittedly ~2003) it
wasn't supported nearly as well as the serial cabled ones.

It's obvious your sendmail config is messed up. The easiest fix would be
to undo EXACTLY what you changed from the default install until you can
learn enough about sendmail to know the full implications of your
alterations.

All you should need to do to get system mail delivered to any other user
is add email address (or valid user account name) to the root entry of
/etc/mail/aliases, then run `newaliases`. As long as DNS is working
properly you should be fine.

If you can't get back to a fresh install, start by giving us some more
information: /etc/mail/aliases and your *.mc file would be nice for
starters.

FreeBSD 5.3/5.4 - pxeboot hosting on em0 Intel 82540EM

2005-05-28 Thread David P. Discher


Netboot and Installing FreeBSD over em0 GigE link

I am having an issue with pxeboot/BTX loader mounting/contacting a  
TFTP server or NFS server that is hosted on machine with an Intel  
GigE em0 ethernet card.


pxeboot comes over (via 82540EM bios), loader comes over, but the  
load says it can figure out what the root disk is.   So the loader  
cannot find /boot/defaults/loader.conf, that is were it stops.


Any ideas ?  Anyone use the if_em on FreeBSD to perform netboots/ 
netinstalls ?



[EMAIL PROTECTED]:6:0:   class=0x02 card=0x002e8086 chip=0x100e8086

vendor   = 'Intel Corporation'
device   = '82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller'
class= network
subclass = ethernet


Two near identical machines using this card in a cross-over (as the  
private link).


I have a third machine that I have networked booted with the same  
kernel and loader/pxeboot binaries, and mfsboot, but both machines in  
that configuration are using fxp cards.


( BTW - the pxeboot documentation needs some correction for the 5.4  
release.

  Will post my notes later. )

Are there any working tools available for debugging a threaded  
application in 5.3/5.4?  Ktrace works fine but doesn't identify the  
threads so its almost impossible to figure out whats going on in a  
complex threaded application.  Strace doesn't show threads either.   
Pstack causes all sorts of problems with the running application -  
usually creating multiple copies of it none of which work anymore.

Dynamic Hosting Recommendation

2005-05-28 Thread Gerard Seibert
My cable company wants $25. a month just for a static IP address. 
Personally, I think that is ridiculous.


I have been looking for a solution. One I found was TZO, 
 http://www.tzo.com . I was wondering if anyone had any experience with 
them?


If someone can recommend another service, I would be glad to look into it.

Thanks.

Depends what you want it for. If you want to run a web site and do not intend 
to generate transactions then a fake permanent (sometimes called 
masquerading)  IP could work dor you -- but this means your IP address is a 
moving one and any business with a modicum of security will know the moment 
they check you out.  

You cannot successfully use masquerading to establish a successful business 
web site. But it might be great for home use. Personally I would shop around 
and look for a better deal .. I mean an extra charge of $25 a month is, I 
agree, ridiculous. You could probably get a hosting deal for that kind of 
money!!!

PS
I forgot to mention that mean ISPs will probably filter your packets and 
soon know you are masquerading -- it is easy to do and then you will be more 
vulnerable to being cut off.. so you might want to think carefully before you 
go down that route. If it is just for fun OK - but if you want to be a 
serious player than I would forget about masquerading -  you might not want 
to give people the mistaken impression that you are cheapskating..

That's a bit archaic, but perfectly correct. See the most recent edition

Not to mention that it's a little bit more informative than Fafa's

Re: Dynamic Hosting Recommendation

2005-05-28 Thread Andras Kende
 My cable company wants $25. a month just for a static IP address.
 Personally, I think that is ridiculous.

 I have been looking for a solution. One I found was TZO,
  http://www.tzo.com . I was wondering if anyone had any experience with
 them?

 If someone can recommend another service, I would be glad to look into it.

 Thanks.

5.4 NFS install broken?

2005-05-28 Thread Steve Rikli
How does one create the NFS installation directory for FreeBSD-5.4 ?

I.e. is it supposed to be as simple as dumping the entire contents
of CD#1  CD#2 into a directory on an NFS server, and pointing
'sysinstall' to it?

I've been doing 4.x  5.x NFS installs successfully with an NFS
server's repositories setup in that manner, but with FreeBSD-5.4 ,
'sysinstall' prompted for the next disc, and I had no apparent
way of selecting a different media or different source.

I'm thinking I must not be getting (parts of?) CD#2 into the right
place, and/or need to update a table-of-contents file, or something
equally simple.

If there's a different/better way (e.g. not using CDs at all) to
build a FreeBSD-5.4 repository suitable for NFS installation purposes,
advice on that would also be welcome.

The Handbook chapter on installations is pretty good, but it sort
of glosses over the details in the Advanced Installation (2.13.6.1) 
section, and I suspect it might not be quite as simple for 5.4 .

Thanks,
sr.

  I've attached it as the sole device on IDE cable 2, jumpering it

   Secondary Slave.

FreeBSD has been known to have problems recognizing slave only drives. 
Change it to a master and see what happens.

   The drive isn't detected by FreeBSD. There's no entry for it

 1. Can't use ACPI on here. Machine not capable, apparently.
 Hence, the following:
In my BIOS, I can enable and disable ACPI. (IBM PC 300GL).
Could it be just that ACPI is disable in BIOS?
 
 2. Have apic enabled in kernel  no problems that I know of
Watch out ACPI and apic are two different things.
Your problem is with ACPI, when I boot without ACPI (option
2 in 5.4-RELEASE, I get the same error messages.
Couldn't these messages be simply ignored?
