[Fwd: Re: firewire issue]

[Sean Bruno]

Look over this patch from Andreas.  I haven't done anything with it as I
don't have the h/w to test with.

Attached, I'm not happy with, but it is wip.

The mod in the firewire.c where I don't set the max_nod to -1 is
necessary to prohibit an infinite loop. The BusReset sets the max_node
to -1 and currently I can't set it to a meaningful value.

Below the messages w/o debug. the "< ------ this one" bothers me.
There is one disk attached. firewire and sbp loaded via kldload.
So far it looks correct to me except the bus resets?

Fabio,

I do not know what the issue is.

Please use the attached diff instead, it might bring you a bit further.

It is still not the final thing, but I did not have the time to follow
up here. Busy with other stuff.

The patch forwared from Sean is a bit old.

Andreas

Dear Andreas and Sean,

Thank you both for your quick answer. I'll see what I can do with  
Andreas' diff. Right now, I'm still fighting with sysinstall (trying  
to get the proper partition map) so it may take a while.

I will ask around and see if I can get my hands on a G3 here in Oregon,

Are you trying to install FreeBSD on an external firewire disk? Or do
you have a firewire device attached to you imac G3 and want to install
to an internal disk?
If the first is true, I'm sorry, I feel it won't work since early Apple
Firewire chips are broken in several ways.
If the second is true, please try to detach any firewire devices from
your G3 before booting. The firewire code from 8.0/CURRENT goes into an
infinite loop with this crappy chip.

If both are not true, if you can, try to use the pdisk from OS-X to
format your partition you want fbsd installed on.

Just guessing.

Andreas

No FW device is attached at all.

Well for now I'm booting from an USB 1.0 HD, but my ultimate goal is  
to boot from the FW. I'm not ready to give up right now ^^

That's what I did. In fact, this is my partition map:

#:                type               name            length    
base      ( size )
1: Apple_partition_map       Apple         63 @ 1
2:     Apple_Bootstrap     freebsd_boot      4000 @ 64        (  2.0M)
3:           Apple_HFS       Extra        156297424 @ 4064      ( 74.5G)

But I keep getting an "Operation not permitted" with sysinstall. I  
even tried fdisk. And I used the "dd" command to copy the boot1.hfs  
file.
I'll see if I can find an answer in the freebsd-ppc list archive.

Fabio

I saw that you managed to find a solution so far, w/o firewire.

Myself I tried to get into the same stage as you're in.

I think I'm there now. I learned a lot, thanks to Marcel@.

I did an installation of RC2 on my ancient imac onto an USB based drive.
Your hints about the 'free' slices seems to be worth.
First I gpart'ed my drive w/o spare slices, I was not able that the
installer recognized my drive. Later I added some free slices in between
and then, surprise, the installer recognized my drive.

I was able to install RC2 onto this drive including booting from it.
With pressing 'alt' at boottime and selecting the USB drive as boot/root
drive.

Great so far. Now I have to jump into the fact where firewire kills the
booting process. I think I know where, but it'll take some time.

In short, I'm working on.

Gruss,
Andreas

Well at least the bug can be reproduced every times. That's a good  
news actually.

Yes. For those that don't know, this is how I did it:
http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?p=46921#post46921

I installed 8rc1 on a USB 1.1 HD. Right now I'm compiling firefox,  
it's taking more than 10 hours ! My next step will be to figure out  
how ACPI works.

> Myself I tried to get into the same stage as you're in.

I have a working freebsd with an internet connection. I've installed  
ports and everything is working beautifully so far. I'd recommend to  
install perl since it's required by a lot of stuff afaik.

The only thing is that the drive mounts on mac os, but it appears  
empty. Probably because we should change the Apple_HFS to something  
else (UFS something, don't know what).

I have little spare time, but I'd be very happy to help. Let me know  
if there is anything I can do.
