1. 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.

A. Getting Source from the DPT FTP site

1.  Download dpt_eata.tgz from ftp://ftp.dpt.com/pub/techsup/unix/bsdi21/
This is the DPT driver for BSDi and files needed to build an editable kernel. 

B. Building the Driver

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#

C. File Modification

Copy the file GENERIC to a new file called DPT.  cp GENERIC DPT<cr>
Preserve the original file files.i386 as a precaution.
cp files.i386 files.i386.orig<cr>
Start modification of the newly created DPT file. vi DPT<cr>
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!<cr>).
:wq<cr>

D. 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 

2. 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
*Note - To use the motif Storage Manager you must first configure a mouse.
dptmgr motif
