-                                 RELEASE NOTES
-                                    FreeBSD
-                                 Release 2.0.5
-
-1. Technical overview
----------------------
-
-FreeBSD is a freely available, full source 4.4 BSD Lite based release
-for Intel i386/i486/Pentium (or compatible) based PC's.  It is based
-primarily on software from U.C. Berkeley's CSRG group, with some
-enhancements from NetBSD, 386BSD, and the Free Software Foundation.
-
-Since our release of FreeBSD 2.0 some 8 months ago, the performance,
-feature set, and stability of FreeBSD has improved dramatically.  The
-largest change is a revamped VM system with a merged VM/file buffer
-cache that not only increases performance, but reduces FreeBSD's
-memory footprint, making a 4MB configuration a more acceptable
-minimum.  Other enhancements include full NIS client and server
-support, transaction TCP support, dial-on-demand PPP, an improved SCSI
-subsystem, early ISDN support, support for FDDI and Fast Ethernet
-(100Mbit) adapters, improved support for the Adaptec 2940 (WIDE and
-narrow) and many hundreds of bug fixes.
-
-We've also taken the comments and suggestions of many of our users to
-heart and have attempted to provide what we hope is a more sane and
-easily understood installation process.  Your feedback on this
-(constantly evolving) process is especially welcome!
-
-In addition to the base distributions, FreeBSD offers a new ported
-software collection with some 270 commonly sought-after programs.  The
-list of ports ranges from http (WWW) servers, to games, languages,
-editors and almost everything in between.  The entire ports collection
-requires only 10MB of storage, all ports being expressed as "deltas"
-to their original sources.  This makes it much easier for us to update
-ports, and greatly reduces the disk space demands made by the older
-1.0 ports collection.  To compile a port, you simply change to the
-directory of the program you wish to install, type make and let the
-system do the rest.  The full original distribution for each port you
-build is retrieved dynamically off of CDROM or a local ftp site, so
-you need only enough disk space to build the ports you want.  (Almost)
-every port is also provided as a pre-compiled "package" which can be
-installed with a simple command (pkg_add) by those who do not wish to
-compile their own ports from source.  See the file:
-        /usr/share/FAQ/Text/ports.FAQ
-for a more complete description of the ports collection.
-
-
-Since our first release of FreeBSD 1.0 nearly two years ago, FreeBSD
-has changed almost entirely.  A new port from the Berkeley 4.4 code
-base was done, which brought the legal status of the system out of the
-shadows with the blessing of Novell (the new owners of USL and UNIX).  The
-port to 4.4 has also brought in a host of new features, filesystems
-and enhanced driver support.  With our new unencumbered code base, we
-have every reason to hope that we'll be able to release quality
-operating systems without further legal encumbrance for some time to
-come!
-
-FreeBSD 2.0.5 represents the culmination of 2 years of work and many
-thousands of man hours put in by an international development team.
-We hope you enjoy it!
-
-A number of additional documents which you may find very helpful in
-the process of installing and using FreeBSD may also be found in
-the "FAQ" directory, either under /usr/share/FAQ on an installed
-system or at the top level of the CDROM or FTP distribution from
-where you're reading this file.  Please consult FAQ/Text/ROADMAP
-for a brief description of the resources provided by the FAQ directory.
-
-For a list of contributors and a general project description, please see
-the file "CONTRIB.FreeBSD" which should be bundled with your binary
-distribution.
-
-Also see the "REGISTER.FreeBSD" file for information on registering
-with the "Free BSD user counter".   This counter is for ALL freely
-available variants of BSD, not just FreeBSD, and we urge you to register
-yourself with it.
-
-The core of FreeBSD does not contain DES code which would inhibit its
-being exported outside the United States.  There is an add-on package
-to the core distribution, for use only in the United States, that
-contains the programs that normally use DES.  The auxiliary packages
-provided separately can be used by anyone.   A freely (from outside the
-U.S.) exportable European distribution of DES for our non-U.S. users also
-exists and is described in the FreeBSD FAQ.
-
-If password security for FreeBSD is all you need, and you have no
-requirement for copying encrypted passwords from different hosts
-(Suns, DEC machines, etc) into FreeBSD password entries, then
-FreeBSD's MD5 based security may be all you require!  We feel that our
-default security model is more than a match for DES, and without any
-messy export issues to deal with.  If you're outside (or even inside)
-the U.S., give it a try!
-
-
-1.1 What's new in 2.0.5?
-------------------------
-
-The following features were added or substantially improved between
-the release of 2.0 and this 2.0.5 release.  In order to facilitate
-better communication, the person, or persons, responsible for each
-enhancement is noted.  Any questions regarding the new functionality
-should be directed to them first.
-
-KERNEL:
-
-Merged VM-File Buffer Cache
----------------------------
-A merged VM/buffer cache design greatly enhances overall system
-performance and makes it possible to do a number of more optimal
-memory allocation strategies that were not possible before.
-
-Owner:                  David Greenman (davidg@FreeBSD.org) and
-                        John Dyson (dyson@implode.root.com)
-
-
-Network PCB hash optimization
------------------------------
-For systems with a great number of active TCP connections (WEB and ftp
-servers, for example), this greatly speeds up the lookup time required
-to match an incoming packet up to its associated connection.
-
-Owner:                  David Greenman (davidg@FreeBSD.org)
-
-
-Name cache optimization
------------------------
-The name-cache would cache all files of the same name to the same bucket,
-which would put for instance all ".." entries in the same bucket.  We added
-the parent directory version to frustrate the hash, and improved the
-management of the cache in various other ways while we were at it.

-                        David Greenman (davidg@FreeBSD.org)
-
-
-Less restrictive swap-spaces
-----------------------------
-The need to compile the names of the swap devices into the kernel has been
-removed.  Now swapon will accept any block devices, up to the maximum
-number of swap devices configured in the kernel.
-
-Owner:                  Poul-Henning Kamp (phk@FreeBSD.org)

-
-
-Hard Wired SCSI Devices
------------------------
-Prior to 2.0.5, FreeBSD performed dynamic assignment of unit numbers
-to SCSI devices as they were probed, allowing a SCSI device failure to
-possibly change unit number assignment and prevent filesystems on
-still functioning disks from mounting.  Hard wiring allows static
-allocation of unit numbers (and hence device names) to scsi devices
-based on SCSI ID and bus.  SCSI configuration occurs in the kernel
-config file.  Samples of the configuration syntax can be found in the
-scsi(4)>
-man page or the LINT kernel config file.

-
-
-Slice Support
--------------
-FreeBSD now supports a "slice" abstraction which makes it more
-completely interoperable with other operating system partitions.  This
-support will allow FreeBSD to inhabit DOS extended partitions.

-                        i386/isa/wd.c scsi/sd.c dev/vn/vn.c
-
-
-Support for Ontrack Disk Manager Version 6.0
---------------------------------------------
-Support has been added for disks which use Ontrack Disk Manager.  The
-fdisk program does NOT know about it however, so make all changes
-using the install program on the boot.flp or the Ontrack Disk Manager
-tool under DOS.
-
-Owner:                  Poul-Henning Kamp (phk@FreeBSD.org)
-
-
-Bad144 is back and working
---------------------------
-Bad144 works again, though the semantics are slightly different than
-before in that the bad-spots are kept relative to the slice rather
-than absolute on the disk.
-
-Owner:                  Bruce Evans (bde@FreeBSD.org)

-
-
-NEW DEVICE SUPPORT:
-
-                        SCSI and CDROM Devices
-
-Matsushita/Panasonic (Creative) CD-ROM driver
----------------------------------------------
-The Matsushita/Panasonic CR-562 and CR-563 drives are now supported
-when connected to a Sound Blaster or 100% compatible host adapter.  Up
-to four host adapters are supported for a total of 16 CD-ROM drives.
-The audio functions are supported, along with access to the raw (2352 byte)
-data frames of any compact disc.  Audio discs may be played using Karoke
-variable speed functions.

-
-Adaptec 2742/2842/2940 SCSI driver
-----------------------------------
-The original 274x/284x driver has evolved considerably since the 2.0
-release.  We now offer full support for the 2940 series as well as the
-Wide models of these cards.  The arbitration bug (as well as many
-others) that caused the driver problems with fast devices has been
-corrected and there is even experimental tagged queuing support
-(kernel option "AHC_TAGENABLE").  John Aycock has also released the
-sequencer code under a "Berkeley style" copyright making the driver
-entirely clean of the GPL.

-src/sys/i386/boot/netboot, and can be run from an MSDOS system or
-burned into an EPROM.  Local swapping is also possible.  WD, SMC, 3COM
-and Novell ethernet cards are currently supported.

-1.2 Experimental features
--------------------------
-
-The unionfs and LFS file systems are known to be severely broken in
-2.0.5.  This is in part due to old bugs that we haven't had time to
-resolve yet and the need to update these file systems to deal with the
-new VM system.  We hope to address these issues in a later release of
-FreeBSD.
-
-FreeBSD now supports running iBCS2 compatible binaries (currently SCO
-UNIX 3.2.2 & 3.2.4 and ISC 2.2 COFF format are supported).  The iBCS2
-emulator is in its early stages, but it is functional, we haven't been
-able to do exhaustive testing (lack of commercial apps), but almost
-all of SCO's 3.2.2 binaries are working, so is an old INFORMIX-2.10
-for SCO. Further testing is necessary to complete this project. There
-is also work under way for ELF & XOUT loaders, and most of the svr4
-syscall wrappers have been written.
-
-FreeBSD also implements enough of its Linux compatibility that we
-can now run Linux DOOM!  See the ``xperimnt'' directory (on your local
-FTP server or CDROM) for full docs on how to set this up.

-
-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.
-
-Following is a list of all disk controllers and ethernet cards currently
-known to work with FreeBSD.  Other configurations may very well work, and
-we have simply not received any indication of this.
-
-
-2.1. Disk Controllers
----------------------
-
-WD1003 (any generic MFM/RLL)
-WD1007 (any generic IDE/ESDI)
-WD7000
-IDE
-ATA
-
-Adaptec 152x series ISA SCSI controllers
-Adaptec 154x series ISA SCSI controllers
-Adaptec 174x series EISA SCSI controller in standard and enhanced mode.
-Adaptec 274X/284X/2940 (Narrow/Wide/Twin) series ISA/EISA/PCI 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, which is 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.  Check your system/board documentation for more details.
-
-[Note that Buslogic was formerly known as "Bustec"]
-Buslogic 545S & 545c
-Buslogic 445S/445c VLB SCSI controller
-Buslogic 742A, 747S, 747c EISA SCSI controller.
-Buslogic 946c PCI SCSI controller
-Buslogic 956c PCI SCSI controller
-
-NCR 53C810 and 53C825 PCI SCSI controller.
-NCR5380/NCR53400 ("ProAudio Spectrum") SCSI controller.
-
-DTC 3290 EISA SCSI controller in 1542 emulation mode.
-
-UltraStor 14F, 24F and 34F SCSI controllers.
-
-Seagate ST01/02 SCSI controllers.
-
-Future Domain 8xx/950 series SCSI controllers.
-
-With all supported SCSI controllers, full support is provided for
-SCSI-I & SCSI-II peripherals, including Disks, tape drives (including
-DAT) and CD ROM drives.
-
-The following CD-ROM type systems are supported at this time:
-(cd)    SCSI (also includes ProAudio Spectrum and SoundBlaster SCSI)
-(mcd)   Mitsumi proprietary interface
-(matcd) Matsushita/Panasonic (Creative) proprietary interface
-(scd)   Sony proprietary interface
-
-Note: CD-Drives with IDE interfaces are not supported at this time.
-
-Some controllers have limitations with the way they deal with >16MB of
-memory, due to the fact that the ISA bus only has a DMA address space
-of 24 bits.  If you do your arithmetic, you'll see that this makes it
-impossible to do direct DMA to any address >16MB.  This limitation is
-even true of some EISA controllers (which are normally 32 bit) when
-they're configured to emulate an ISA card, which they then do in *all*
-respects.  This problem is avoided entirely by IDE controllers (which
-do not use DMA), true EISA controllers (like the UltraStor, Adaptec
-1742A or Adaptec 2742) and most VLB (local bus) controllers.  In the
-cases where it's necessary, the system will use "bounce buffers" to
-talk to the controller so that you can still use more than 16Mb of
-memory without difficulty.
-
-
-2.2. Ethernet cards

-FreeBSD currently does NOT support IBM's microchannel (MCA) bus, but
-support is apparently close to materializing.  Details will be posted
-as the situation develops.
-
-
-3. Obtaining FreeBSD
---------------------
-
-You may obtain FreeBSD in a variety of ways:
-
-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 nearest site
-to you netwise.
-
-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@decwrl.dec.com' - putting the keyword "help" in your message
-to get more information on how to fetch files from ftp.freebsd.org.
-Note: This approach will end up sending many *tens of megabytes*
-through the mail, and should only be employed as an absolute LAST
-resort!
-
-
-2. CDROM
-
-FreeBSD 2.0.5 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@cdrom.com or http://www.cdrom.com.
-Their current catalog can be obtained via ftp as:
-        ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/cdrom/catalog.
-
-Cost per CD is $39.95, or $24.95 with a FreeBSD subscription.  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.
-
-Walnut Creek CDROM also sells a full line of FreeBSD related merchandise such
-as T-shirts ($14.95, available in "child", Large and XL sizes), coffee mugs
-($9.95), tattoos ($0.25 each) and posters ($3.00).
-
-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.
-
-
-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.  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.
-
-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:
-
-                bugs@FreeBSD.org
-
-
-Otherwise, for any questions or suggestions, please send mail to:
-
-                questions@FreeBSD.org
-
-Additionally, being a volunteer effort, we are always happy to have
-extra hands willing to help - there are already far more enhancements
-to be done than we can ever manage to do by ourselves!  To contact us
-on technical matters, or with offers of help, you may send mail to:
-
-                hackers@FreeBSD.org
-
-Since these mailing lists can experience significant amounts of
-traffic, if you have slow or expensive mail access and you are
-only interested in keeping up with significant FreeBSD events, you may
-find it preferable to subscribe to:
-
-                announce@FreeBSD.org
-
-
-All but the freebsd-bugs groups can be freely joined by anyone wishing
-to do so.  Send mail to MajorDomo@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!
-

-hundreds, of individuals from around the world who have worked very

-a significant amount of effort anyway.  This release could not have
-happened without him!  Thank you both!
-
-Thanks also to everyone else who helped, especially those not
-mentioned, and we sincerely hope you enjoy this release of FreeBSD!

	Esta es una reciente publicación (Mayo 1997) de Tatsumi Hosokawa y otros. En el mundo de los libros de informática es un top-seller en Japón, superando las ventas del libro "The Road Ahead" de Bill Gates.
	(Libro de FreeBSD en japonés que incluye la versión 2.0.5, titulado "FreeBSD: Fun and easy Installation")
	(Libro de FreeBSD en japonés que incluye la versión 2.0.5, titulado "FreeBSD Introductory Kit")
	Este es el libro "FreeBSD Complete" de Walnut Creek CDROM con guía de instalación, páginas man y 2 cd's de instalación.
	Libro de Walnut Creek CDROM titulado "Installing & Running FreeBSD", que contenía las instrucciones de instalación y dos cd's. Ha sido reemplazado por el más completo "FreeBSD Complete".
	Este libro recientemente publicado (principios de 1997) en Taiwan. Su título es "FreeBSD: introduction and applications" y el autor es Jian-Da Li.
	Este es el libro "Getting Started with FreeBSD" de Fuki-Shuppan. Trata tanto la instalación y entorno japonés como la administración del sistema e información de bajo nivel (como el proceso de arranque). FreeBSD-2.2.2R y XFree86-3.2 en CDROM. 264 páginas, 3,400 yen.
	"Personal &unix; Starter Kit - FreeBSD" de ASCII. Incluye la historia de &unix;, una guía de creación de documentación en japonés y cración de ports. 2.1.7.1R y XFree86-3.2 en CDROM.
	BSD mit Methode, M. Schulze, B. Roehrig, M. Hoelzer und andere, C&L Computer und Literatur Verlag, 1998, 850 pages. 2 CDROMs, FreeBSD 2.2.6, NetBSD 1.2.1 and 1.3.2, OpenBSD 2.2 and 2.3. DM 98,-.

	Este es el BSDisc de InfoMagic, conteniendo FreeBSD 2.0 y NetBSD 1.0 en un solo CD.
	Esta es la release original de 4.4 BSD Lite2 de UC Berkeley, la tecnología básica de FreeBSD.
	La primera de las series "BSD" de Laser5. Contiene FreeBSD-2.0.5R, NetBSD-1.0, XFree86-3.1.1 y el kernel FreeBSD(98).
	The second of Laser5's "BSD" series. From this version, the CDs come in a standard jewel box. Contains FreeBSD-2.1R, NetBSD-1.1, XFree86-3.1.2 and 3.1.2A, and FreeBSD(98) kernel (2.0.5).
	This is the Laser5 Japanese edition of the FreeBSD CDROM. It is a 4 CD set.
	This is the only FreeBSD CD Pacific Hitech produced before merging their product line with that of Walnut Creek CDROM. PHT now also produces the FreeBSD/J (Japanese) CD product.
	This is the cover disc from the Korean magazine. Note the creative cover art! The CD contains the FreeBSD 2.2.1 release with some local additions.
	This is it - the very first FreeBSD CD published! Both the FreeBSD Project and Walnut Creek CDROM were fairly young back then, and you'll probably have little difficulty in spotting the differences in production quality between then and now.
	This was the second FreeBSD CD published by Walnut Creek CDROM and also the very last on the 1.x branch (ref USL/Novell lawsuit and settlement). The next release, FreeBSD 1.1.5, was only available on the net.
	This unusual CD is something of a collector's item now given that almost all existing examples were systematically tracked down and destroyed. An artwork mishap has this CD dated for the wrong year, and on the spine "January" is also misspelled as "Jaunary", just to increase the embarrassment factor. Ah, the perils of turning in one's artwork just hours before leaving for a trade show.
	This is the fixed-up version of the FreeBSD 2.0 CD. Note that the color scheme has even been changed in the corrected version, something unusual for a fixup and perhaps done to distance it from the earlier mistake.
	The FreeBSD 2.0.5 release CD. This was the first CD to feature Tatsumi Hosokawa's daemon artwork.
	The FreeBSD 2.1 release CD. This was the first CD release on the 2.1 branch (the last being 2.1.7).
	The FreeBSD 2.1.5 release CD.
	The FreeBSD 2.1.6 release CD.
	The Japanese version of 2.1.6. This was the first and last Japanese localized version published by WC, responsibility for that product then transitioning to a team led by Tatsumi Hosokawa and sponsored by Pacific Hitech and Laser5.
	The FreeBSD 2.1.7 release CD. Also the last CD released on the 2.1.x branch. Done primarily as a security fixup for 2.1.6
	An early release SNAPshot of 2.2 (done before 2.2.1 was released).
	The FreeBSD 2.2.1 release CD. This was the first CD on the 2.2 branch.
	The FreeBSD 2.2.2 release CD.
	The FreeBSD 3.0 snapshot CD.
	The FreeBSD mailing list and newsgroup archives, turned into HTML and semi-indexed by thread. This product ran for 2 releases and then stopped with a thud once it became obvious that there was simply too much data to deal with on one CD. Perhaps when DVD becomes more popular...

	Cover of Korean &unix; magazine, May 1997 issue. Also included FreeBSD 2.2.1 with cover CDs.
	&unix; User Magazine November 1996 issue. Also included FreeBSD 2.1.5 on cover CD.
	This is the "FreeBSD Full Course" special in April 1997's Software Design (published by Gijutsu Hyoron Sha). There are 80 pages of FreeBSD articles covering everything from installation to tracking -current.
	Quality &unix; for FREE, by Brett Glass in Sm@rt Reseller Online September 1998

	This is issue #1 of the FreeBSD Newsletter, published and distributed free of charge by Walnut Creek CDROM.
	This is issue #2 of the FreeBSD Newsletter, published and distributed free of charge by Walnut Creek CDROM.
