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 some 8 months 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 4MB 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 many hundreds of bug fixes. + +We've also 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 some 270 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 older +1.0 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) by those who do not wish to +compile their own ports from source. See the file: + /usr/share/FAQ/Text/ports.FAQ +for a more complete description of the ports collection. + + +Since our first release of FreeBSD 1.0 nearly two years ago, FreeBSD +has changed almost entirely. A new port from the Berkeley 4.4 code +base was done, which brought the legal status of the system out of the +shadows with the blessing of Novell (the new owners of USL and UNIX). The +port to 4.4 has also brought in a host of new features, filesystems +and enhanced driver support. With our new unencumbered code base, we +have every reason to hope that we'll be able to release quality +operating systems without further legal encumbrance for some time to +come! + +FreeBSD 2.0.5 represents the culmination of 2 years of work and many +thousands of man hours put in by an international development team. +We hope you enjoy it! + +A number of additional documents which you may find very helpful in +the process of installing and using FreeBSD may also be found in +the "FAQ" directory, either under /usr/share/FAQ on an installed +system or at the top level of the CDROM or FTP distribution from +where you're reading this file. Please consult FAQ/Text/ROADMAP +for a brief description of the resources provided by the FAQ directory. + +For a list of contributors and a general project description, please see +the file "CONTRIB.FreeBSD" which should be bundled with your binary +distribution. + +Also see the "REGISTER.FreeBSD" file for information on registering +with the "Free BSD user counter". This counter is for ALL freely +available variants of BSD, not just FreeBSD, and we urge you to register +yourself with it. + +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. + +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! + + +1.1 What's new in 2.0.5? +------------------------ + +The following features were added or substantially improved between +the release of 2.0 and this 2.0.5 release. In order to facilitate +better communication, the person, or persons, responsible for each +enhancement is noted. Any questions regarding the new functionality +should be directed to them first. + +KERNEL: + +Merged VM-File Buffer Cache +--------------------------- +A merged VM/buffer cache design greatly enhances overall system +performance and makes it possible to do a number of more optimal +memory allocation strategies that were not possible before. + +Owner: David Greenman (davidg@FreeBSD.org) and + John Dyson (dyson@implode.root.com) + + +Network PCB hash optimization +----------------------------- +For systems with a great number of active TCP connections (WEB and ftp +servers, for example), this greatly speeds up the lookup time required +to match an incoming packet up to its associated connection. + +Owner: David Greenman (davidg@FreeBSD.org) + + +Name cache optimization +----------------------- +The name-cache would cache all files of the same name to the same bucket, +which would put for instance all ".." entries in the same bucket. We added +the parent directory version to frustrate the hash, and improved the +management of the cache in various other ways while we were at it. + +Owner: Poul-Henning Kamp (phk@FreeBSD.org) + David Greenman (davidg@FreeBSD.org) + + +Less restrictive swap-spaces +---------------------------- +The need to compile the names of the swap devices into the kernel has been +removed. Now swapon will accept any block devices, up to the maximum +number of swap devices configured in the kernel. + +Owner: Poul-Henning Kamp (phk@FreeBSD.org) + David Greenman (davidg@FreeBSD.org) + + +Hard Wired SCSI Devices +----------------------- +Prior to 2.0.5, FreeBSD performed dynamic assignment of unit numbers +to SCSI devices as they were probed, allowing a SCSI device failure to +possibly change unit number assignment and prevent filesystems on +still functioning disks from mounting. Hard wiring allows static +allocation of unit numbers (and hence device names) to scsi devices +based on SCSI ID and bus. SCSI configuration occurs in the kernel +config file. Samples of the configuration syntax can be found in the +scsi(4)> +man page or the LINT kernel config file. + +Owner: Peter Dufault (dufault@hda.com) +Sources involved: sys/scsi/* usr.sbin/config/* + + +Slice Support +------------- +FreeBSD now supports a "slice" abstraction which makes it more +completely interoperable with other operating system partitions. This +support will allow FreeBSD to inhabit DOS extended partitions. + +Owner: Bruce Evans (bde@FreeBSD.org) +Sources involved: sys/disklabel.h sys/diskslice.h sys/dkbad.h + kern/subr_diskslice.c kern/subr_dkbad.c + i386/isa/diskslice_machdep.c + i386/isa/wd.c scsi/sd.c dev/vn/vn.c + + +Support for Ontrack Disk Manager Version 6.0 +-------------------------------------------- +Support has been added for disks which use Ontrack Disk Manager. The +fdisk program does NOT know about it however, so make all changes +using the install program on the boot.flp or the Ontrack Disk Manager +tool under DOS. + +Owner: Poul-Henning Kamp (phk@FreeBSD.org) + + +Bad144 is back and working +-------------------------- +Bad144 works again, though the semantics are slightly different than +before in that the bad-spots are kept relative to the slice rather +than absolute on the disk. + +Owner: Bruce Evans (bde@FreeBSD.org) + Poul-Henning Kamp (phk@FreeBSD.org) + + +NEW DEVICE SUPPORT: + + SCSI and CDROM Devices + +Matsushita/Panasonic (Creative) CD-ROM driver +--------------------------------------------- +The Matsushita/Panasonic CR-562 and CR-563 drives are now supported +when connected to a Sound Blaster or 100% compatible host adapter. Up +to four host adapters are supported for a total of 16 CD-ROM drives. +The audio functions are supported, along with access to the raw (2352 byte) +data frames of any compact disc. Audio discs may be played using Karoke +variable speed functions. + +Owner: Frank Durda IV bsdmail@nemesis.lonestar.org +Sources involved: isa/matcd + + +Adaptec 2742/2842/2940 SCSI driver +---------------------------------- +The original 274x/284x driver has evolved considerably since the 2.0 +release. We now offer full support for the 2940 series as well as the +Wide models of these cards. The arbitration bug (as well as many +others) that caused the driver problems with fast devices has been +corrected and there is even experimental tagged queuing support +(kernel option "AHC_TAGENABLE"). John Aycock has also released the +sequencer code under a "Berkeley style" copyright making the driver +entirely clean of the GPL. + +Owner: Justin Gibbs (gibbs@FreeBSD.org) +Sources involved: isa/aic7770.c pci/aic7870.c i386/scsi/* + sys/dev/aic7xxx/* + + +NCR5380/NCR53400 SCSI ("ProAudio Spectrum") driver +-------------------------------------------------- +Owner: core +Submitted by: Serge Vakulenko (vak@cronyx.ru) +Sources involved: isa/ncr5380.c + + +Sony CDROM driver +----------------- +Owner: core +Submitted by: Mikael Hybsch (micke@dynas.se) +Sources involved: isa/scd.c + + + Serial Devices + +SDL Communications Riscom/8 Serial Board Driver +----------------------------------------------- +Owner: Andrey Chernov (ache@FreeBSD.org) +Sources involved: isa/rc.c isa/rcreg.h + + +Cyclades Cyclom-y Serial Board Driver +------------------------------------- +Owner: Bruce Evans (bde@FreeBSD.org) +Submitted by: Andrew Werple (andrew@werple.apana.org.au) and + Heikki Suonsivu (hsu@cs.hut.fi) +Obtained from: NetBSD +Sources involved: isa/cy.c + + +Cronyx/Sigma sync/async serial driver +------------------------------------- +Owner: core +Submitted by: Serge Vakulenko +Sources involved: isa/cronyx.c + + + + Networking + +Diskless booting +---------------- +Diskless booting in 2.0.5 is much improved.

This is in part due to old bugs that we haven't had time to +resolve yet and the need to update these filesystems to deal with the +new VM system. We hope to address these issues in a later release of +FreeBSD. + +FreeBSD now supports running iBCS2 compatible binaries (currently SCO +UNIX 3.2.2 & 3.2.4 and ISC 2.2 COFF format are supported). The iBCS2 +emulator is in its early stages, but it is functional, we haven't been +able to do exhaustive testing (lack of commercial apps), but almost +all of SCO's 3.2.2 binaries are working, so is an old INFORMIX-2.10 +for SCO. Further testing is necessary to complete this project. There +is also work under way for ELF & XOUT loaders, and most of the svr4 +syscall wrappers have been written. + +FreeBSD also implements enough of its Linux compatibility that we +can now run Linux DOOM! See the ``xperimnt'' directory (on your local +FTP server or CDROM) for full docs on how to set this up. + +Owner: Soren Schmidt (sos) & Sean Eric Fagan (sef) +Sources involved: sys/i386/ibcs2/* + misc kernel changes. + + +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. + +Following is a list of all disk controllers and ethernet cards currently +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) +WD7000 +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 (Narrow/Wide/Twin) series ISA/EISA/PCI SCSI controllers +Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 based boards, which includes +the AHA-152x and SoundBlaster SCSI cards. + +** Note: You cannot boot from the SoundBlaster cards as they have no + on-board BIOS, which is 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. Check your system/board documentation for more details. + +[Note that Buslogic was formerly known as "Bustec"] +Buslogic 545S & 545c +Buslogic 445S/445c VLB SCSI controller +Buslogic 742A, 747S, 747c EISA SCSI controller. +Buslogic 946c PCI SCSI controller +Buslogic 956c PCI SCSI controller + +NCR 53C810 and 53C825 PCI SCSI controller. +NCR5380/NCR53400 ("ProAudio Spectrum") SCSI controller. + +DTC 3290 EISA SCSI controller in 1542 emulation mode. + +UltraStor 14F, 24F and 34F SCSI controllers. + +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. + +The following CD-ROM type systems are supported at this time: +(cd) SCSI (also includes ProAudio Spectrum and SoundBlaster SCSI) +(mcd) Mitsumi proprietary interface +(matcd) Matsushita/Panasonic (Creative) proprietary interface +(scd) Sony proprietary interface + +Note: CD-Drives with IDE interfaces are not supported at this time. + +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, Adaptec +1742A or Adaptec 2742) 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. Ethernet cards +------------------- + +SMC Elite 16 WD8013 ethernet interface, and most other WD8003E, +WD8003EBT, WD8003W, WD8013W, WD8003S, WD8003SBT and WD8013EBT +based clones. SMC Elite Ultra is also supported. + +DEC EtherWORKS III NICs (DE203, DE204, and DE205) +DEC EtherWORKS II NICs (DE200, DE201, DE202, and DE422) +DEC DC21140 based NICs (SMC???? DE???) +DEC FDDI (DEFPA/DEFEA) NICs + +Fujitsu MB86960A family of NICs + +Intel EtherExpress + +Isolan AT 4141-0 (16 bit) +Isolink 4110 (8 bit) + +Novell NE1000, NE2000, and NE2100 ethernet interface. + +3Com 3C501 cards + +3Com 3C503 Etherlink II + +3Com 3c505 Etherlink/+ + +3Com 3C507 Etherlink 16/TP + +3Com 3C509, 3C579, 3C589 (PCMCIA) Etherlink III + +Toshiba ethernet cards + +PCMCIA ethernet cards from IBM and National Semiconductor are also +supported. + + +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. + +Cyclades Cyclom-y Serial Board. + +STB 4 port card using shared IRQ. + +Mitsumi (all models) CDROM interface and drive. + +SDL Communications Riscom/8 Serial Board. + +SoundBlaster SCSI and ProAudio Spectrum SCSI CDROM interface and drive. + +Matsushita/Panasonic (Creative SoundBlaster) 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 the situation develops. + + +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 +`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 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 ftp.FreeBSD.org. +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 2.0.5 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 or http://www.cdrom.com. +Their current catalog can be obtained via ftp as: + ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/cdrom/catalog. + +Cost per CD is $39.95, or $24.95 with a FreeBSD subscription. With +a subscription, you will automatically receive updates as they +are released. 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. + +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 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: + + hackers@FreeBSD.org + +Since these mailing lists can experience significant amounts of +traffic, if you have slow or expensive mail access and you are +only interested in keeping up with significant FreeBSD events, you may +find it preferable to subscribe to: + + announce@FreeBSD.org + + +All but the freebsd-bugs groups 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! + + +6. 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.
