I request the concerned person to go through the below mentioned queries
and suitable give the solutions to the mentioned queries.

Query 1.

while installation can use a: for other than for /.I tried it but
couldn't able to do. Is there any way to mount other than / to a:

Query 2.

I couldn't able to find the suitable command to run under console 
to create/delete logical partitions that come under NetBSD 1.6.1. Could
any one tell me 
the respective command that can be used to create/delete partition.
eg.,
I want to increase the size of e: and decrease the size of f: that was
allocated at the time of installation.
And i want to create g: partition of some size.

Netbsd 2.0 (i386) Configuring interface problem

Hi,
I just installed NetBSD 2.0 on my i386 PC.
I am trying to get my box connected to the network. My ethernet card seems
to have been recognized by the kernel as ne1.

I have set up all the neccessary files (resolv.conf, hosts, mygate,
defaultrouter, ifconfig.ne1) - and the startup message shows the network
starting.

during startup I see:
starting network
adding network aliases:
network device timeout

dmesg|grep ne1 shows:

ne1:NE2000 Ethernet
ne1:Ethernet address 00:40:.....
ne1:device timeout

(I will be paraphrasing here, as I have no network connectivity and cannot
transfer any files to show verbatim output)

ifconfig -a:

ne1: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        address: 00:40:.....
        media: Ethernet manual
        inet 192.168.11.7 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.11.255
        inet6 fe80::204:5aff:fe77:4447%ne1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1

Re: Netbsd 2.0 (i386) Configuring interface problem

Google search tends to indicate your NE1 card is
ISA and has an interrupt besides that which the
default kernel is looking for, which is:

ne1	at isa? port 0x300 irq 10

(according to: 
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/arch/i386/conf/GENERIC?rev=1.641&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup
)

And the most commonly prescribed fix is using the
floppy disk tool that came from the card manufacturer
to change its IRQ to 10, or, build a properly configured
kernel for the modified card's IRQ.

kernel panic

Hi,

I have had a couple of kernel panics since switching to 2.0.

Here is what I copied down after it:

UVM_FAULT (0,2258f0, 0x0, 0, 0x1) > 0xe
type 8 code [mmu,,ssw]: 1050200
trap type 8, code = C050200, v=24
pid = 7671, lid = 1, pc = 000E3482, ps = 2700, sfc = 1, dfc = 1

panic: MMU fault
Stopped in pid 7691.1 ctcsh at 0x19a538: unlk a6

What is happening is the computer is running out of memory. The last time
I tried to shut it down, it had a kernel panic. Top only showed about
2000k active, 256k inact, and 400k free. What is happening to all of its
memory?

I have built a new kernel with the latest source, and right now it shows
about 41M active, 25M inactive, and 23M free. Also, it is using about
4000k swap. There must be some way to see where all the memory is going,
and a way to correct it. Please let me know if anyone has some ideas on
this?

I have attached my kernel config file to see if that gives a clue as to
what is going on:

# $NetBSD: AGNUS,v 1.9.9.9 2004/11/29 16:04:09 jklos Exp $

Re: Netbsd 2.0 (i386) Configuring interface problem

Hi,
Actually I did do some research and found out that the ne1 driver does not
have a set IRQ. Since this is quite an old box, I got handed down to me, I
do not have the floppy tool.
I guess I will just have to move it to another slot and give it a try.
recompiling the kernel requires me to know the IRQ of the card - and I do
not know how to get this information, or if there is a way to do this with
netbsd.

Thx,
Radhika

You can mount it anywhere you like, just edit /etc/fstab later.

But on i386 you might not be able to boot from disk where the physical
partition used for / doesn't start at the beginning of the NetBSD part of the
disk. (Or some similar constraint, I forgot the details).

The generic "partitioning" command is disklabel.
On i386 you might additionally have to play with fdisk, depending on what
exactly you mean by "logical partition".

Aironet 350 oversize frames on i386 2.0

Dear NetBSD Help,

My Cisco Aironet PCMCIA wifi card that worked fine with an(4) under
NetBSD 1.6.2 i386 appears to be having problems with under NetBSD 2.0
i386 and is returning oversize frame errors.  I haven't made any
changes to the Linksys BEFW11S4 V2/V3 Wireless Access Point Router,
Firmware 1.45.10, or the Aironet card.  I tried a different Aironet
350 PCMCIA card and got the same kinds of messages, an excerpt of
which follows.  Any suggestions are appreciated!

Thanks!
Richard

SMC7004 router

I have a small network of windows PC's, all with the same workgroup and 
connected to one SMC7004abr V.2. barricade DSL router configured with DHCP 
and NAT turned on.
I added a NetBSD machine to the network, configured with dhclient=YES and 
myname=NAME.windowsworkgroup
When I look at the status screen of the SMC router, all DHCP clients show a 
mac address, an IP address and a name but for the NetBSD box where the name 
is missing.
On the windows machines I can ping somebody by its name. How do I configure 
NetBSD to tell its name to the router?
Please Help!

Re: SMC7004 router

In your /etc/dhclient.conf, you'll need to add a line:

  send host-name "NAME.windowsworkgroup";

This will tell the DHCP serer on your Barricade router what the system's 
name is.
