BSDi Build Instructions

Install either the source or object version of BSDi (Internet Server Version 2.XX, or Version 2.XX SOURCE CODE). Note: if you install the object version, then you will need to take a few extra steps to build the driver, though compile time will be faster with the object version.

The 3.0 kernel will have the drivers shipped with the distribution and will have many of these install steps done already. In this case this document works as a guide to the compile process.

We hope this document provides enough detailed instructions such that those of us who are not "Unix Gurus" or "vi experts" could go through the process.

Copy dpt_eata.tgz from the floppy to /
(mcopy dpt_eata.tgz /)
From the root directory, execute the command: gunzip dpt_eata.tgz
Execute:
tar -xvf dpt_eata.tar
Change directory to /sys/i386/conf

The following files need to be patched to build an editable kernel.

patch GENERIC#
patch ioconf.c.i386#
patch files.i386#

File Modification

Copy the file GENERIC to a new file called DPT. cp GENERIC DPT

Preserve the original file files.i386 as a precaution.

Start modification of the newly created DPT file. vi DPT

Find the commented out lines #dpt0 through #dpt2. Configure for your systems bus (e.g. if you have a PCI bus, uncomment the "#dpt0 at pci?"). For ISA busses, ensure that the DMA channel (e.g. drq7) matches up to your hardware configuration.

Find:

#dpt0 at pci?
#dpt1 at eisa?
#dpt2 at isa? port? Irq? drq7

Change #dpt0 at pci? to:

dpt0 at pci?
Find the commented out line #tg* at dpt?. Uncomment the line:
#tg* at dpt? Target?

Find:

#tg* at dpt? targat?

Change to:

tg* at dpt? target?
Write the file out (to quit without saving, type :q!).
:wq

Make

Generate the /sys/compile/DPT directory. config DPT

Generate the dependencies.
make depend
Make the kernel
make
Reboot to use the new kernel.
ctrl alt del

Installing Storage Manager for BSDi

To install Storage Manager for BSDI change directory to: /usr/dpt
Insert the Storage Manager diskette into A: and execute the following:
installfloppy
At the prompt, execute:
startx

Change directory to /usr/dpt and execute the following
dptmgr motif

*Note - To use the motif Storage Manager you must first configure a mouse.
