/dev/mcd0a instead of /dev/mcd0d. This is more conforming to the /dev/cd0a
for the SCSI cdrom drives. It breaks the convention d the whole drive.
But the question is, do we really need partitions on cdrom drives ?
1) tty.c: gather all the info about the processes before calling ttyprintf
(which may block).
2) syscons.c: handle asynchronous output properly (data structures may
be corrupted otherwise).
Example:
Application use port cua01
Getty open ttyd1 (allocates rawq,outq,etc) and waits while application
done
Application quits, sioclose issued, ttyfree issued (getty calls revoke)
Getty awakes and goes to panic into initrb (NULL rawq)
now HUPCL set only in bidir case for callin lines
(this prevents set HUPCL on mouse)
comhardclose:
in addition to HUPCL case now DTR dropped for bidir case
if line was active in and no carrier present now.
(this prevents DTR sleep on mouse)

The transfer speed was only set in the retry after error, not when
switching drives.
it still looks a little suspicious that so many of the status codes are missing
so I'm not going to adopt all of the existing ones yet. Try to be more
descriptive in the use of hex constants.
Changes _only_ take effect if `options LAPTOP' is set.
Note: This one is distinctly dodgy. When my IDE drive spins back up from sleep
mode, it generates this `extra interrupt' condition by spinning back up and
generating an intr, though without any particular action required. This
message coming out every time is rather annoying, and thus disabled.
However, what I'm not at all sure of is whether or not all IDE drives will
behave in the same way, or if perhaps it needs to be done in a more complicated
fashion by detecting this more involved "I've spun up and am just saying hi"
condition. This is a simple change and easy to back out/ammend if anybody has
any better ideas.
hack in the moment for testing purposes and to get the drive going
again.
0x20 means empty drive.
0x30 means closed drive with CDROM inserted.
0x80 means drive pulled out, but door closed.
0xa0 means drive pulled out and door open.
Luckily none of these values are the same as that reported for Ethernet
cards ( 0 for WD8003E, 0x40 for WD8013EPC, 0x60 for NE2000).
The bad part is, the probe code gets the WD8003E so hosed, that it is
no longer usable after it. No problem with the WD8013EPC.
my previous fix too (using wdp_heads controller value) and check
0 heads case too.
Other fixes from Bruce:
2) Fix dk_timeout from 2 to about 4 seconds.
3) wdcontrol not retried on internal error.
4) wdwait return check changed ( "!=0" to "<0" into wdsetctlr,
"<0" to "!=0" into wdgetctlr).
This inetrface should be used from now on.
pseudo device pty xx still keeps its meaning: a maximum of
xx ptys is allowed.
A ringbuffer is now 2040 bytes long, per Garrett Wollman's request.
The changes are inspired by the way NetBSD did it (thanks for that!),
though I made it slihghtly different, including the interface so
at least 75% of the allocated space is deallocated when the tty is
closed.
Note further that it is easy to modify the ringbuffer length runtime.
This will have to wait untill some later date...

Subject: Bugfix for SB16 with DSP version 4 and above
No description sent, but it appears to fix a major number problem
with certain models of the SB16.
Small hack, if heads > 16, output a warning and then set the head
count to 16. This stops the infinite loop on this error and allows
people to later fix the DOS parameter table later with fdisk.
run Exabyte 8505 on 1742's. This may not be the final solution, but it
makes it work. It may be better to change the DELAY(10) to DELAY(30)
inside the loop instead of increasing the loop count from 100 to 300.
Subject: Bug Fix for ft.c - please commit
Date: Mon, 14 Feb 94 10:22:54 CST
This fixes a bug where the system can crash if the tape is used
after the floppy has been used.
When the keyboard is probed, the LED's blink quickly and
"Keyboard reset failed" is printed on the console. The
init routine keeps trying endlessly with the same behavior
as above.
I got the latest -current sup sources (06-Feb-94 12:00 GMT) to work using the
old syscons.c. The following patch makes the new syscons work:

3) Remove #ifdef STAR_SAVER before line /* make screensaver happy */
this code needed in any case.
Subject: syscons-1.3
Date: Sat, 29 Jan 94 23:33:50 MET
But here is the (hopefully) final syscons-1.3....
....
I've changed sgetc so it works as the pccons parallel
(it now uses a scgetc internally).
[
There were a couple changes that Bruce Evans sent me that were applied
to this version along with some changes that S'ren didn't incorporate
into the final version. There will be only minor changes if anything
from this version to his final release.
]
o merged and fixed timeout code from sos.
o merged DOS partition support from sos.
o fixed "extra" interrupts.
o check if malloc retuns NULL :-(.
o print drive size as in NetBSD
o after an error, return the residual count, not 0.
o give up early for > 16 heads.
o cleaned up the old-drive detection in wdgetctlr().
o rewrote wddump(). I'd been putting this off because
I'd had the dump disabled since 0.0 and had no idea
if even the standard version worked. It didn't:
(0) syscons' sgetc() interface broke some keyboard
stuff.
(1) CADDR1 is mapped using pmap() and pmap got a NULL
pointer trap (at least when I got to wddump() using
call diediedie from ddb) because the pte for CADDR1
is only supposed to be hacked on directly (e.g. in
physcopyseg()).
(2) bad144 handling was not done.
(3) it was slooow (3600 sectors/minute) because my
controller doesn't cache writes.
o miscellaneous other cleanups, e.g., removed scattered
patchkit/terry dates.
o lots of reformatting.
To be done:
o Merge/fix TIH/NetBSD bad144 code (doesn't belong in any
particular driver. Why aren't we using i386/dkbad.c?).
o Merge/fix Dyson/NetBSD clustering code (large parts
should be shared).
o Fix/extend the partition in use bits. Support extended
partitions. This should be shared by all disk drivers. Swap
to a DOS partition so that the swap space can be shared with
linux.
o Don't use polling except for initialization. Need to
reorganise the state machine. Then "extra" interrupts
shouldn't happen (except maybe one for initialization).
o Fix disklabel, boot and driver inconsistencies with
bad144 in standard versions.
o Look at latest linux clustering methods. Our disksort()
gets in the way of clustering.
o cleaned up the ATA changes (needs more work. I think
the ATA specs say that the only thing really wrong with
the original version of wx is that there was no test
for drive-ready before some commands. 400 nsec delay
suffices for almost everything and 400 nsec delay is
usually "free").
netmask or impmask.
2) Fixes from Bruce:
o Changed name of schedsoftcom() to setsofttty() to match
setsoftclock()
o Bool_t isn't used.
o tx_fifo_size is 1 for chips without fifos, 16 for 16550's, to
help to output more efficiently for 16550's (LSR_TXRDY means
that the fifo is empty, not that it has space for one char).
o Changed name of softsio1() to siopoll() and merged compoll()
into siopoll().
o The probe forgot to clear com_mcr after it failed. This is
harmful for 4 single serial ports on 2 interrupts. It makes
partial misconfigurations worse.
o Don't bother initializing static variables that are 0 (bidir
stuff).
o Only initialize t_oflag to TTYDEF_OFLAG if unit == COMCONSOLE,
not if COMCONSOLE is defined.
o Don't call siointr() from comparam() if there is no output in
progress. For the call from sioopen(), there's no output in
progress, and siointr() often saw silo overflows for stale
input because it was called before sioopen() discarded the
input.
o Let ttselect() do the work for select(), so that the fixes for
ttselect() don't have to be duplicated in zillions of drivers.
Yes, I know that IFADDR ioctl is supposed to be deprecated... Note
that the patch was modified by me to fit better into the driver. -DG

While porting CAP to 386bsd/pk0.2.4 and now to FreeBSD Release 1.0
I found a couple of bugs associated with the packet filter. Here
are the fixes. I'm posting them here because they apply to
FreeBSD and 386bsd/pk0.2.4 and possibly to other *BSD.
The first occurs when using the packet filter to write raw
ethernet packets. The header consisting of the sender and
destination addresses and the protocol is removed and later
added back on, but with the byte order of the protocol reversed.
The fix ensures that the byte order in the protocol field is
swapped when it is removed.
The second fix ensures that SIOCGIFADDR works for BPF as claimed
in the man pages, by adding it to the ed driver. Similar fixes
will be needed for other ethernet drivers.

file override to disable fifo on 16550s:
I bought a board with two 16550's, but one of those ports has a mouse
on it. The sio driver always enables the fifo, which is a bad thing
for mice and X. The mouse is jerky and hard to use. The simple thing
is be to treat one of the ports as a non-fifo'ed UART, and I use the
flags option in my config file.
So, my config file has:
device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty irq 4 flags 0x2 vector siointr
device sio1 at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3 vector siointr
(patch deleted)
Cuddle { braces up where possible on if statements
Add missing splx(s) calls before some returns.
Remove extra semicolon that was keeping uha_init from returning
before the timeout occured. This should speed probing up quite
a bit!
0) FreeBSD additional include files additions
1) Rod's arpacom changes
2) Function type and return code cleanup, and all functions have correct

3) Bugfix where driver would not function due to missing structure not
given a value.
4) General cleanup. (Theo did a lot already, I just did some more)

Changed the output of the isa probe routine, that only devices, that
have an IO address and are smaller than 0x100 to be on the motherboard.
The seagate SCSI adapter is an example of a card, that doesn't have
an IO address and works only memory mapped.
Choose older MULTIPORT version, because lastest bde version
not worked.
Don't force HUPCL for bidirectional case.
From bde:
Use bit (1 << (16 + 4)) in schedsoftcom() to avoid clash with
non-serial h/w on IRQ4.
Allow FIFO_TRIGGER in config.
Clear com->mcr_image when clearing mcr for init of 4port. The
usual value MCR_IENABLE should have broken 4ports unless
something happened to clear it later.
Turn off interrupts as well as DTR after an error waiting for
carrier (bidir dialin case).
Drain fifo more carefully.
Don't hang up if debugging.
Rearrange siointr() -> siointr1() for multiport case for speed,
lower latency and clarity.
Use suser() to check perms.
Provide missing splx() after failed perms checks.
c_ispeed == 0 means c_ispeed = c_ospeed (POSIX).
Set parameters (except speed) for c_ospeed == 0 as well as
hanging up.
Better initialization for console (fifo stuff...).
Misc. cleanups.
Fix dead hang if modem power is off.
problems in the moment are stray intr's in the ifconfig up/down.
No way to select all three interfaces on a combo card with
AUI/BNC/UTP interfaces and the performance doesn't look good.
Only tested with a ISA AUI/BNC card yet.
Added it to the list of known boards and put it into the the list for

enough tests to be considered more stable than current driver.
Lots of work by Bruce, David G., and Guido have gone into this version, and
more is to come in the future.
Support for multiple controllers is in, but doesn't work correctly with
different controllers (IDE AND MFM), but multiple alike controllers appears
to work.
Most of the stray interrupts problems should be fixed, although you will
get a couple 'extra interrupts' when disklabeling and on startup.
can actually write a sane netif device to support one of these. Note that it
was necessary to steal a netisr bit from another protocol; I took the one for
PF_DATAKIT (no great loss).
a binary link-kit. Make all non-optional options (pagers, procfs) standard,
and update LINT to reflect new symtab requirements.
NB: -Wtraditional will henceforth be forgotten. This editing pass was
primarily intended to detect any constructions where the old code might
have been relying on traditional C semantics or syntax. These were all
fixed, and the result of fixing some of them means that -Wall is now a
realistic possibility within a few weeks.
Entries for 800 and 820 fixed.
From vak@kiae.su:
incorporate Joerg Wunsch formatting code
correct handle timeouted operations
fixed entry for 720 media
GAP values changed suitable for possible format code addition.
Read/write GAP always 2 now.
Interleave parameter added for possible format code addition.
Many logical formats added.
720K physical drive added.
Problems: still can't read 720..820 media in 1.44 drive.
800K in HD 5.25in (maximum for DD diskettes)
1.44M in HD 5.25in (for easy distributions)
1.46M in HD 5.25in (maximum for 5.25)
Some cosmetique changes.
Now minor looks like UU DDDDDD, UU - unit, DDDDDD - density.
If density == 0, CMOS-detect format assumed.

E-mail: <sir@kiae.su>, <vak@zebub.msk.su>
This is the streamer tape driver for 386bsd and FreeBSD, which
supports Wangtek and Archive compatible QIC-02/QIC-36 controllers.
It was developed as a replacement of the old Wangtek tape driver from CMU.
In comparison with the CMU driver, this version has the following enhancements:
1) Support for Archive SC402 and SC499 tape controllers added.
2) Support for up to three tape controllers on the same machine.
3) Support for BSD-style ioctls MTIOCGET, MTIOCTOP.
Mt command now works adequately with this driver.
2) Asynchronous REWIND and FSF operations, close() will not wait
until they finish. The next open() will wait for it instead.
4) Use of WTQICMD ioctl is limited to ERASE and RETENS operations.
This prevents the user from locking the tape driver by strange
tape operations.
5) Tape density switching added.
6) The status of the process, blocked on the tape operation,
is displayed at the WCHAN column of the `ps' command as:
wtread reading data from the tape
wtwrite writing data to the tape
wtrfm reading the tape marker
wtwfm writing the tape marker
wtrew rewinding the tape
wterase doing WTQICMD ERASE operation
wtretens doing WTQICMD RETENS operation
wtorew doing MTIOCTOP REW/OFFL operation
wtorfm doing MTIOCTOP FSF operation
wtowfm doing MTIOCTOP WEOF operation
7) It's possible to use the tape with "default density",
useful for devices which don't support density switching
or do automatic format determination.
8) Some controllers support only 1024 block length.
Setting WT_BSIZE bit in device minor number turns on this mode.
Minor number structure:
0bfffuuu
Fields:
uuu - Unit number. It's possible to install
up to three tape controllers on the same machine,
using DRQs 1..3. Hence, unit number can lie
in range 0..2.
fff - Tape format number:
0 - /dev/rwt0 - default density (auto select)
1 - /dev/rwt0a - QIC 11 (obsolete)
2 - /dev/rwt0b - QIC 24 (60 megabytes)
3 - /dev/rwt0c - QIC 120 (120 megabytes)
4 - /dev/rwt0d - QIC 150 (150 megabytes)
5 - /dev/rwt0e - QIC 300 (300 megabytes?)
6 - /dev/rwt0f - QIC 600 (600 megabytes?)
b - Long block size flag. With this bit set,
the driver will perform all i/o operations
with the controller using 1024-byte
blocks, instead of 512 ones.
Some controllers need it (CMS for example).
If you Wangtek controller does not stream well,
you can try to use /dev/rWt0 device instead
of /dev/rwt0 (uncomment needed lines in /dev/MAKEDEV
to create it).
Block interface (writing blocks less than 2048 bytes) is not functioning
pwoperly. Use raw interface instead.

Changes between EPSILON and RELEASE of FreeBSD have again caused
the kernel to not see my floppy disk drives. I don't know what happened,
'cause I don't see any changes to fd.c, but here is an old fix that

least for me). Since this is a rather brute-force solution - I understand
if you want to ignore it...

Subject: IDE-disk hangs - solution/patches NetBSD/FreeBSD
Summary: fixes for lost interrupts with IDE disks
Keywords: hanging-disk, IDE-disk, lost-interrupt
Due to "popular" demand I'm posting these patches to NetBSD/FreeBSD
instead of mailing them around the world :-)
As many have found out there is a problem when using IDE disks on
FreeBSD. Following is a patch that fixes the problem with lost intterrupts.
Both fixes is based on a patch posted here some month ago by
Stefan Behrens?? (sorry I've lost the original article). But anyway it
works (for me :-).
Basically it does a timeout on lost interrupts, starting the operation
again and logging and error message on the console.
It additionally makes the allready present while loop timeouts
independent of CPU speed, and adds minor numbers for easy access to
dos partitions.

when the machine panics.
i386/i386/locore.s:
1) got rid of most .set directives that were being used like
#define's, and replaced them with appropriate #define's in
the appropriate header files (accessed via genassym).
2) added comments to header inclusions and global definitions,
and global variables
3) replaced some hardcoded constants with cpp defines (such as
PDESIZE and others)
4) aligned all comments to the same column to make them easier to
read
5) moved macro definitions for ENTRY, ALIGN, NOP, etc. to
/sys/i386/include/asmacros.h
6) added #ifdef BDE_DEBUGGER around all of Bruce's debugger code
7) added new global '_KERNend' to store last location+1 of kernel
8) cleaned up zeroing of bss so that only bss is zeroed
9) fix zeroing of page tables so that it really does zero them all
- not just if they follow the bss.
10) rewrote page table initialization code so that 1) works correctly
and 2) write protects the kernel text by default
11) properly initialize the kernel page directory, upages, p0stack PT,
and page tables. The previous scheme was more than a bit
screwy.
12) change allocation of virtual area of IO hole so that it is
fixed at KERNBASE + 0xa0000. The previous scheme put it
right after the kernel page tables and then later expected
it to be at KERNBASE +0xa0000
13) change multiple bogus settings of user read/write of various
areas of kernel VM - including the IO hole; we should never
be accessing the IO hole in user mode through the kernel
page tables
14) split kernel support routines such as bcopy, bzero, copyin,
copyout, etc. into a seperate file 'support.s'
15) split swtch and related routines into a seperate 'swtch.s'
16) split routines related to traps, syscalls, and interrupts
into a seperate file 'exception.s'
17) remove some unused global variables from locore that got
inserted by Garrett when he pulled them out of some .h
files.
i386/isa/icu.s:
1) clean up global variable declarations
2) move in declaration of astpending and netisr
i386/i386/pmap.c:
1) fix calculation of virtual_avail. It previously was calculated
to be right in the middle of the kernel page tables - not
a good place to start allocating kernel VM.
2) properly allocate kernel page dir/tables etc out of kernel map
- previously only took out 2 pages.
i386/i386/machdep.c:
1) modify boot() to print a warning that the system will reboot in
PANIC_REBOOT_WAIT_TIME amount of seconds, and let the user
abort with a key on the console. The machine will wait for
ever if a key is typed before the reboot. The default is
15 seconds, but can be set to 0 to mean don't wait at all,
-1 to mean wait forever, or any positive value to wait for
that many seconds.
2) print "Rebooting..." just before doing it.
kern/subr_prf.c:
1) remove PANICWAIT as it is deprecated by the change to machdep.c
i386/i386/trap.c:
1) add table of trap type strings and use it to print a real trap/
panic message rather than just a number. Lot's of work to
be done here, but this is the first step. Symbolic traceback
is in the TODO.
i386/i386/Makefile.i386:
1) add support in to build support.s, exception.s and swtch.s
...and various changes to various header files to make all of the
above happen.

Has NOBODY used the isa_dmastart() routine for 16bit DMA?
I know I just hit the dma regs directly for the AHA1542,

they only use 8bit DMA (e.g. floppy)

The definition of DMA2_CHN was incorrectly using IO_DMA1!

then use that information to fix the enhancemode features of the

When doing this I found that the Buslogic 545S does NOT properly
mimic the 1542 families AHA_INQUIRE command. It only returns 1
byte of information, when the adaptec manual clearly states that 4
bytes are to be returned. I added a printf that explains the error

but it involved to much work for now.

we are about to probe. Checks are mode for I/O address, memory address,
IRQ, and DRQ. This should stop the screwing up of any device that has
alread been found by other device probes.
Print out messages when we are not going to probe a device due to
a conflict so the user knows WHY something was not found. For example:
aha0 not probed due to irq conflict with ahb0 at 11
Now print out a message when a device is not found so the user knows
that it was probed for, but could not be found. For example:
ed1 not found at 0x320
For devices that have I/O address < 0x100 say that they are on the
motherboard, not on isa! The 0x100 magic number is per ISA spec. It
may seem funny that pc0 and sc0 report as being on the motherboard, but
this is due to the fact that the I/O address used is that of the keyboard
controller which IS on the motherboard. We really need to split the
keyboard probe from the display probe. It is completly legal to build
a pc with out one or the other, or even with out both!
npx.c:
Return -1 from the probe routine if we are using the Emulator so
that the i/o addresses are not printed, this is the same trick used
for 486's.
Do not print the ``Errors reported via Exception 16'', and
``Errors reported via IRQ 13'' messages any more, since these just lead
to more user confusion that anything. It still prints the message
``Error reporting broken, using 387 emulator'' so that the person is
aware that there mother board is ill.
