RELEASE NOTES
FreeBSD 2.2-RELEASE
1. What's new since 2.1.7
-------------------------
Lots of installation bugs fixed, more pc98 changes syncronized, geeze,
what else?
gdb 4.16 has been merged from -current, most of the third-party source
now lives under /usr/src/contrib.
Updated support for the DEC DEFPA/DEFEA FDDI hardware.
The old ``HAVE_FPU'' Makefile option is now finally gone, the selection
between the math library using the floating point emulator, and the
version using the co-processor is now fully automatic. This will speed
up floating-point using programs on sites that didn't like to recompile
their `libm' previously.
Javier Martin Rueda's `ex' driver has been merged, bringing support
for the Intel EtherExpress Pro/10 network cards.
The `de' driver now recognizes cards using the DE21140A chip, like the
popular SMC9332BDT (10/100 Mbit/s) one.
There's now a workaround for the brokeness of the frequently used
CMD640 PCI IDE chip in the sources, albeit still disabled by default
in 2.2.
The number of EISA slots to probe is now a fully supported option,
including the ability to save the value from a UserConfig session
with dset(8). This helps owners of HP NetServer LC machines to
install the system on their hardware.
Support for the SDL RISCom N2pci sync serial card.
Support for Cyclades Cyclom-Y (multi-port async serial) PCI adaptors
as well as multiple controllers and the 32-Y (if you are currently using
the Cyclades serial adapter, you should re-make your /dev entries and
remove the old ones).
Updated support for ethernet adaptors which use the DEC DC21X4X chipset.
Update to gcc 2.7.2.1 & add support for weak symbols.
Many things moved/brought into /usr/src/contrib, updating and
cleaning up the source tree accordingly.
Support for compiled-in shared library ld paths.
Update sgmlfmt to `instant'.
Support for SNMP-style interface MIBs, including full RFC
1650-compliant MIBs for the `de' (DEC 21x4x) and `ed' (SMC/WD/Novell)
drivers.
/stand/sysinstall moved even more towards becoming a more general
system management tool.
The syscons and psm drivers now have a new underlying shared keyboard
driver, eliminating many of the previously existing problems with
their mutual interaction.
Syscons now supports cut & paste in textmode using the moused(8)
utility.
2.2 is the first release that includes full CD-R support for the
Plasmon RF41xx, HP4020i, HP6020i, and Philips CDD2000 drives. The
driver is still under development (in particular to extend its
usability for other devices), but it has been proved to be stable
by now.
Support for NFSv3 clients and servers went into the 2.2 sources
shortly after branching off the 2.0.5/2.1.X tree. There are also
other options available with NFS, like the ability to turn an NFSv2
server into asynchronous write mode (which is in violation of the
specs, but has precedents e.g. in SGI Irix).
Poul-Henning Kamp's phkmalloc replaced the old and blatant BSD
malloc implementation. This usually saves a lot of virtual memory
for the clients, and offers some neat features like aborting the
program on detected malloc abuses, or filling the malloced and/or
freed area with junk in order to detect semantical problems in
programs that use malloc.
The `netatalk' implementation of AppleTalk has been integrated into
the sources, most of the integration work courtesy Wistle Communic-
ations Corp.
The mount option `async' allows asynchronous metadata updates on UFS
file systems, something that is the default e.g. on Linux' ext2fs.
This speeds up many i-node intensive filesystem operations (like
rm -r) at the cost of an increased risk in case of a system crash.
The installation itself makes use of this feature, and could be
drastically accelerated by this. (A bindist-only installation from a
SCSI CD-ROM can now complete in less than 5 minutes on a fast
machine!)
The ATAPI CD-ROM support is now reported to work for quite an
impressive number of drives. In other words, all the drives that
basically adhere to the ATAPI standard are likely to work.
There are many new drivers available in the kernel, too many to keep
them in mind. Tekram supplied a driver for their DC390 and DC390T
controllers. These controllers are based on the AMD 53c974, and the
driver is also able to handle other SCSI controllers based on that
chip. Of course, with Tekram being generous enough to support the
FreeBSD project with their driver, we'd like to encourage you to buy
their product. The `ed' and `lnc' drivers now support auto-config-
uration for the respective PCI ethernet cards, including many NE2000
clones and the AMD PCnet chips. The SDL RISCom N2 support is new, as
well as the PCI version of the Cyclades driver.
The Linux emulation is now fully functional, including ELF support.
To make its use easier, there are even ports for the required shared
libraries, and for the Slackware development environment.
Along the same lines, the SysV COFF emulation (aka. SCO emulation) is
reported to be working well now.
FreeBSD also supports native ELF binaries, although it hasn't been
decided yet whether, when, and how we might use this as the default
binary format some day.
A `brandelf' utility has been added to allow `branding' of non-shared
linked ELF binaries where the kernel cannot guess which image activator
(FreeBSD, Linux, maybe SysV some day) should be used. This works around
one major flaw in the ELF object format, the missing field to mark the
ABI it belongs to.
Support for APM BIOSes is now in a much better shape.
The manual section 9 has been started, describing `official' kernel
programming interfaces. We are still seeking volunteers to document
interfaces here!
The kernel configuration option handling has been largely moved away
from the old -D Makefile kludges, towards a system of "opt_foo.h"
kernel include files, allowing Makefile dependencies to work again.
We expect the old hack that blows the entire compile directory away
on each run of config(8) to go away anytime soon. Unless you're changing
weird options, you might now consider using the -n option to config(8),
or setting the env variable NO_CONFIG_CLOBBER, if CPU time is costly for
you. See also the comments in the handbook about how it works.
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)
WD1007 (any generic IDE/ESDI)
IDE
ATA
Adaptec 1510 series ISA SCSI controllers (not for bootable devices)
Adaptec 152x series ISA SCSI controllers
Adaptec 1535 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 AIC7850 on-board 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, 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.

3. Obtaining FreeBSD
--------------------
You may obtain FreeBSD in a variety of ways:
3.1. 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 freebsd-admin at 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 at 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!
3.2. CDROM
----------
FreeBSD 2.1.7-RELEASE and 2.2-RELEASE CDs 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 at cdrom.com or http://www.cdrom.com.
Their current catalog can be obtained via ftp from:
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/cdrom/catalog.
Cost per -RELEASE CD is $39.95 or $24.95 with a FreeBSD subscription.
FreeBSD 3.0-SNAP CDs are $29.95 or $14.95 with a FreeBSD-SNAP subscription
(-RELEASE and -SNAP subscriptions are entirely separate). 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.
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.
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 at 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 suggestions, please send mail to:
freebsd-questions at 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 at 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 at FreeBSD.org
All but the freebsd-bugs groups can be freely joined by anyone wishing
to do so. Send mail to MajorDomo at 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!
