2. Using UserConfig to change FreeBSD kernel settings
-- --------------------------------------------------
The UserConfig utility allows you to override various settings of
the FreeBSD kernel before the system has booted. This allows you to
make minor adjustments to the various drivers in the system without
necessarily having to recompile the kernel.
The FreeBSD kernel on the install floppy contains drivers for every
piece of hardware that could concievably be used to install the rest
of the system with. Unfortunately, PC hardware being what it is, some
of these devices can be difficult to detect accurately, and for some,
the process of detecting another can cause irreversible confusion.
UserConfig is activated by specifying the `-c' flag at the initial
boot prompt. For example:
To make this process easier, FreeBSD provides UserConfig. With this
UserConfig, the user can configure and disable device drivers before
the kernel is loaded, avoiding potential conflicts, and eliminating
the need to reconfigure hardware to suit the default driver settings.
>> FreeBSD BOOT @ 0x10000: 640/7168 k of memory
Use hd(1,a)/kernel to boot sd0 when wd0 is also installed.
Usage: [[wd(0,a)]/kernel][-abcCdhrsv]
Use ? for file list or press Enter for defaults
Once FreeBSD is installed, it will remember the changes made using
UserConfig, so that they only need be made once.
Boot: -c
--
It is important to disable drivers that are not relevant to a system
in order to minimise the possibility of interference, which can cause
problems that are difficult to track down.
This command causes the system to boot the default kernel ("/kernel") and
the UserConfig utility to be started once the kernel is loaded into memory.
UserConfig features a commandline interface for users with serial
consoles or a need to type commands, and a fullscreen 'visual'
interface, which provides point-and-shoot configuration functionality.
The `-c' flag follows any of the other parameters you may need to provide
for the system to boot properly. For example, to boot off the second of
two SCSI drives installed and run UserConfig, you would type:
Here is a sample UserConfig screen shot in 'visual' mode:
Boot: sd(1,a)/kernel -c

As always, the kernel will report some information on your processor
and how much memory your system has. Then UserConfig will be invoked
and you will see the prompt:

To see the list of commands that UserConfig accepts, you may type '?' and
press [ENTER]. The help message looks something like this:

[TAB] Change fields [Q] Save device parameters
You may alter nearly all of the default settings present in the FreeBSD
generic kernel. This includes reassigning IRQs, disabling troublesome
devices (or drivers that conflict with the hardware your system has),
setting special device flags, etc.
The screen is divided into four sections :
Since people's tastes in user interface design vary widely, we have
provided two different interfaces to the UserConfig utility. If you
type `visual' (or just `v') you will be placed in the "GUI" oriented device
attributes editor. If you're someone who's more at home with
command-line flavored interfaces then simply don't do that and use
the CLI commands directly. :-)
- Active Drivers. Listed here are the device drivers that are currently
enabled, and their basic parameters.
- Inactive Drivers. These drivers are present, but are disabled.
- Parameter edit field. This area is used for editing driver parameters.
- Help area. Keystroke help is displayed here.
Since the visual interface pretty much describes itself, we'll use the
more verbose command line interface while describing UserConfig in the
following examples.
One of the Active and Inactive lists is always in use, and the current
entry in the list will be shown with a highlight bar. If there are
more entries in a list than can be shown, it will scroll. The bar can
be moved up and down using the cursor keys, and moved between lists
with the TAB key.
The most common use of UserConfig is to adjust or disable a driver
which is causing trouble. The "ls" command displays the current
settings for all the drivers present in the booted kernel, and once
you have located an entry of interest you may use the displayed device
name to change its settings or even disable the driver completely.
Drivers in the Active list may be marked "CONF". This indicates that
one or more of their parameters conflicts with another device, and
indicates a potential for problems. The total number of conflicts is
displayed at the top of the screen.
For example, to change the memory address of network adapter 'ed0' to
the address 0xd4000, you would type
config> iomem ed0 0xd4000
-----------------
As a general rule, conflicts should be avoided, either by disabling
conflicting devices that are not present in the system, or by altering
their configuration so that they match the installed hardware.
To entirely disable a device driver you are not using, use the
"disable" command. In this example, you would disable device
`ie0' by typing:
In the list areas, drivers are grouped by their basic function.
Groups can be 'Collapsed' to simplify the display (this is the default
state for all groups). If a group is collapsed, it will be shown with
'(Collapsed)' in the list, as above. To Expand a Collapsed group,
position the highlight bar over the group heading and press Enter. To
Collapse it again, repeat the process.
config> disable ie0
-----------
When a device driver in the Active list is highlighted, its full
parameters are displayed in the Parameter edit area. Note that not
all drivers use all possible parameters, and some hardware supported
by drivers may not use all the parameters the driver supports.
You can use the "ls" command to verify your changes and correct
any other problems before continuing the boot process.
To disable a driver, go to the Active list, Expand the group it is in,
highlight the driver and press Del. The driver will move to its group
in the Inactive list. (If the group is collapsed or off the screen,
you may not see the driver in its new location.)
Once you are happy with a given configuration you may type: "quit"
To enable a driver, go to the Inactive list, Expand the group it is
in, highlight the driver and press Enter. The highlight will move to
the Active list, and the driver you have just enabled will be
highlighted, ready to be configured.
This will cause the kernel to boot with the new settings you
have chosen.
To configure a driver, go to the Active list, Expand the group it is
in, highlight the driver and press Enter. The cursor will move to the
Parameter edit area, and the device's parameters may be edited.
Once you have a fully installed system (e.g. the `bin' distribution
has been successfully extracted), any changes you make in UserConfig
are permanently stored in the `/kernel' file on the root filesystem.
This action is performed by the `dset' utility, which will ensure that
these settings remain in effect until you replace the kernel with
a new one. If you do not want your changes to be permanently
stored like this, remove `dset' from the /etc/rc file before you
make any changes.
While editing parameters, the TAB and cursor keys can be used to move
between fields. Most numeric values (except IRQ) are entered in
hexadecimal, as indicated by the '0x' at the beginning of the field.
The allowable values for a given field are show in the Key Help area
when the field is active.
If you accidentally change a setting for a device that you did not mean
to change, the safest thing to do is to reset the computer and start
over. Do not allow the boot to proceed (e.g. do not type "quit") with
bad settings as these may be permanently stored by dset and
leave your system in a state where it will no longer run properly.
To finish configuring a driver, press 'Q'.
We suggest as a general rule that you disable any drivers that are not
used by your particular hardware configuration. There are known problems
with certain device drivers (see section 4.0) that can cause conflicts
with other devices if they're also not disabled. You should move or
disable any device that resides at the same port or IRQ as a device
you actually have!
You can also remove drivers that are not needed by building yourself a
custom kernel that contains only the device drivers which your system
really needs (see section 6.0 of the FreeBSD.FAQ). If your system has
sufficient free disk space to store and compile the kernel sources,
this is the option we most highly recommend.
Sample UserConfig session
-------------------------
Here is a walkthrough of a sample use of UserConfig. The system in
question has an IDE disk, two serial ports, a single printer port, a
floppy drive and an NE2000 ethernet card set to I/O address 0x340 and
IRQ 10.
- At the 'config>' prompt, type 'v' and press Enter to activate
'visual' mode.
- The fullscreen mode comes up, with the highlight bar in the Active Drivers
area over the 'Storage' group, which is Collapsed. Press Enter to
Expand the group.
- Disable all of the drivers listed in this group except for the
"Floppy disk controller" and "IDE/ESDI/MFM disk controller" by
highlighting each in turn and pressing Del.
- Move to the 'Network' group, Expand it, and disable all of the drivers
except for 'ed0', the first of the
"NE1000,NE2000,3C503,WD/SMC80xx Ethernet adapters".
- Move to the 'Communications' group, Expand it and disable the 'lpt1' and
'lpt2' drivers.
- Disable the 'mse0' driver in the 'Input' group.
- Go back to the 'Network' group, highlight the 'ed0' driver, and press
Enter to configure it.
- Change the 'Port address' and 'IRQ number' fields to match the
configuration of the card, ie. 0x340 and 10 respectively.
- Press 'Q' to finish configuring the device, and then 'Q' again to
leave UserConfig. Answer 'yes' to save the changes and continue to boot
using the new configuration.

----------------------------------
A considerable number of changes to the VM system have been made
to increase the stability under certain types of load. If you
had panics under the last snapshot, try this one and see if they
persist.
The AHC driver now does considerably more in the way of handling errors
gracefully.
More cosmetic work on the installation, /stand/sysinstall now genuinely
useful after installation time (though still missing a man page - urk!).
Early support for APM (automated power management) and PCCARD
(formerly PCMCIA) features of laptops. Many PCCARD devices
are supported, from modems to ethernet cards to SCSI adaptors.
Adaptec AIC7850 support has been added.
The Yellow Pages (NIS) support has had many optimizations made
and no longer has portions copyright under the GPL.
Various VM system enhancements and a few bugs fixed (gzip'd binaries
now work again, for example).
The system installation tool has been revamped with slightly different
menu behavior and a number of bugs have been fixed. It's hoped that
this installation will be more intuitive for new users than previous
ones (feedback welcomed, of course).
The Intel EtherExpress Pro/100B PCI ethernet card is now supported.
The 3COM 3C590 and 3C595 ethernet cards are now supported.
The ARNET (now Digiboard) Sync 570i high-speed serial card is now supported.
The Linux emulation is now good enough to run the Linux version of
Netscape, with JAVA support (as well as a number of other Linux
utilities).
The Matrox Meteor frame grabber card is better supported.
It is now possible to burn CDROMs using the Plasmon or HP 4080i
CDR drives (see `wormcontrol(1)').
The pipe code has been substantially sped up, as have some components
of the VM system.
A /dev/random device (and associated "pool of entropy") has been added
for applications which require more unpredicatable sequences of random
numbers for security. See the random(4) man page for more info.
Early NFS v3 support (not enabled by default).
An early implementation of the Device Filesystem (devfs) is available
(see mount_devfs). Device switch tables are now also dynamically built.
