Installing FreeBSD on a Toshiba Magnia SG30

Installing and running FreeBSD on a Toshiba Magnia SG30
workgroup server appliance.


These servers seem to come pre-installed with a customized version
of Red Hat 8.  Should run FreeBSD pretty well, though, I think.  :)


###########################

Hardware:

	Celeron 1.2GHz
	256 MB RAM
	40G laptop hard drive

Details:

	Serial port 0 is connected to LCD display on front of unit
	Serial port 1 is connected to the mini-din serial port on the
	  back of the unit.  This 
	Default OS runs serial console at 115200
	BIOS displays to serial port at 115200
	Serial connection to LCD is 9600

###########################

Booting FreeBSD:

1. Attach USB keyboard to USB ports on the back.  You'll need this to change
BIOS to net-boot

2. Compile 'pxeboot' with console on sio1:
	Set BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT = 0x2f8 in /etc/make.conf
	Set LOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT=YES in /etc/make.conf

	cd /usr/src/sys/boot; make; make
	grab /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/pxeldr/pxeboot

See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html
for more details.

3. Compile kernel with console on sio1:
	Change sio1 line to 'device sio1 at isa? port IO_COM2 flags 0x10 irq 3'
	Copy kernel to /kernel.MAGNIA on boot tftp server

####################################

Configure bootp to boot file 'pxeboot' for the magnia
Configure /boot/loader.rc on tftp server:

	load /kernel.MAGNIA
	load -t mfs_root /
	set vfs.root.mountfrom="ufs:/dev/md0c"
	autoboot 5


Connect 115200 baud serial port to rear serial port

Press 'F8' on USB keyboard to activate boot menu.
Select BBS-0 to boot from network

Boot the kernel.

Quickly switch the serial terminal to 9600 to watch FreeBSD boot messages

#########################

Network details:

The server has 8 ethernet ports but only 2 NICs:

	Port 1 is connected to fxp0 (Intel Embedded ethernet)
	Ports 2 thru 8 are connected to a built-in hub or
		switch that is also connected to rl0

The PXE boot agent will boot from rl0 (the hub'ed ports).

##########################

Install sio1 bootstrap code:

recompile boot1 and boot2 after making /etc/make.conf changes above

install /boot/boot[12]

execute 'disklabel -B ad0' on the magnia

To-do:

	Recompile dump images with boot blocks set to sio1
		(boot0, boot2, etc)$
