#
# This directive is mandatory; it defines the architecture to be
# configured for; in this case, the 386 family.  You must also specify
# at least one CPU (the one you intend to run on); deleting the
# specification for CPUs you don't need to use may make parts of the
# system run faster
#
machine		"i386"
cpu		"I386_CPU"
cpu		"I486_CPU"
cpu		"I586_CPU"		# a/k/a Pentium(tm)

#
# This is the ``identification'' of the kernel.  Usually this should
# be the same as the name of your kernel.
#
ident		LINT

#
# The `maxusers' parameter controls the static sizing of a number of
# internal system tables by a complicated formula defined in param.c.
#
maxusers	10

#
# Under some circumstances it is necessary to make the default max
# number of proccesses per user and open files per user more than the
# defaults on bootup.  (an example is a large news server in which
# the uid, news, can sometimes need > 100 simultaneous processes running)
options		"CHILD_MAX=128"
options		"OPEN_MAX=128"

#
# A math emulator is mandatory if you wish to run on hardware which
# does not have a floating-point processor.  Pick either the original,
# bogus (but freely-distributable) math emulator, or a much more
# fully-featured but GPL-licensed emulator taken from Linux.
#
options		MATH_EMULATE		#Support for x87 emulation
#options        GPL_MATH_EMULATE        #Support for x87 emualtion via
                                        #new math emulator

#
# This directive defines a number of things:
#  - The compiled kernel is to be called `kernel'
#  - The root filesystem might be on partition wd0a
#  - The kernel can swap on wd0b and sd0b, defaulting to the former
#  - Crash dumps will be written to wd0b, if possible
#
config		kernel	root on wd0 swap on wd0 and sd0 dumps on wd0

# COMPATIBILITY OPTIONS

#
# Implement system calls compatible with 4.3BSD and older versions of
# FreeBSD.
#
options		"COMPAT_43"

#
# Allow user-mode programs to manipulat their local descriptor tables.
# This option is required for the WINE Windows(tm) emulator, and is
# not used by anything else (that we know of).
#
options		USER_LDT		#allow user-level control of i386 ldt

#
# These three options provide support for System V Interface
# Definition-style interprocess communication, in the form of shared
# memory, semaphores, and message queues, respectively.
#
options		SYSVSHM
options		SYSVSEM
options		SYSVMSG


#####################################################################
# DEBUGGING OPTIONS

#
# This line enables the kernel debugger, DDB, and the line following
# allocates extra space for a copy of the debugger symbol table which
# is stored in the initialized data area of the kernel.  If you change
# the latter option, remove db_aout.o before compiling.
#
options		DODUMP			#We dump core-image on panic
options		DDB			#Kernel debugger
options		"SYMTAB_SPACE=159100"	#This kernel needs LOTS of symtable

#
# KTRACE enables the system-call tracing facility ktrace(2).
#
options		KTRACE			#kernel tracing

#
# The DIAGNOSTIC option is used in a number of source files to enable
# extra sanity checking of internal structures.  This support is not
# enabled by default because of the extra time it would take to check
# for these conditions, which can only occur as a result of
# programming errors.
#
options		DIAGNOSTIC


#####################################################################
# NETWORKING OPTIONS

#
# Protocol families:
#  Only the INET (Internet) family is officially supported in FreeBSD.
#  Source code for the NS (Xerox Network Service), ISO (OSI), and
#  CCITT (X.25) families is provided for amusement value, although we
#  try to ensure that it actually compiles.
#
options		INET			#Internet communications protocols
options		ISO
options		CCITT			#X.25 network layer
options		NS			#Xerox NS communications protocols
options		TPIP			#ISO TP class 4 over IP
options		TPCONS			#ISO TP class 0 over X.25

#
# Network interfaces:
#  The `loop' pseudo-device is mandatory when networking is enabled.
#  The `ether' pseudo-device provides generic code to handle
#  Ethernets; it is mandatory when a Ethernet device driver is
#  configured.
#  The `sppp' pseudo-device serves a similar role for certain types
#  of synchronous PPP links (like `cx').
#  The `sl' pseudo-device implements the Serial Line IP (SLIP) service.
#  The `ppp' pseudo-device implements the Point-to-Point Protocol.
#  The `bpfilter' pseudo-device enables the Berkeley Packet Filter.  Be
#  aware of the legal and administrative consequences of enabling this
#  option.  The number of devices determines the maximum number of
#  simultaneous BPF clients programs runnable.
#
pseudo-device	ether			#Generic Ethernet
pseudo-device	sppp			#Generic Synchronous PPP
pseudo-device	loop			#Network loop back device
pseudo-device	sl	2		#Serial Line IP

pseudo-device	bpfilter	4	#Berkeley packet filter

options		NSIP			#XNS over IP
options		EON			#ISO CLNP over IP
options		LLC			#X.25 link layer for Ethernets
options		HDLC			#X.25 link layer for serial lines

#
# Internet family options:
#
# TCP_COMPAT_42 causes the TCP code to emulate certain bugs present in
# 4.2BSD.  This option should not be used unless you have a 4.2BSD
# machine and TCP connections fail.
#
# GATEWAY allows the machine to forward packets, and also configures
# larger static sizes of a number of system tables.
#
# MROUTING enables the kernel multicast packet forwarder, which works
# with mrouted(8).
#
# IPFIREWALL enables support for IP firewall construction, in
# conjunction with the `ipfw' program.  IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE does
# the obvious thing.
#
# ARP_PROXYALL enables global proxy ARP.  Beware!  This can burn
# your house down!  See netinet/if_ether.c for the gory details.
# (Eventually there will be a better management interface.)
#
options		"TCP_COMPAT_42"		#emulate 4.2BSD TCP bugs

					# dropped packets
options		ARP_PROXYALL		# global proxy ARP


#####################################################################
# FILESYSTEM OPTIONS

#
# Only the root, /usr, and /tmp filesystems need be statically
# compiled; everything else will be automatically loaded at mount
# time.  (Exception: the UFS family---FFS, MFS, and LFS---cannot
# currently be demand-loaded.)  Some people still prefer to statically
# compile other filesystems as well.
#
# NB: The LFS, PORTAL, and UNION filesystems are known to be buggy,
# and WILL panic your system if you attempt to do anything with them.
# They are included here as an incentive for some enterprising soul to
# sit down and fix them.
#

# One of these is mandatory:
options		FFS			#Fast filesystem
options		NFS			#Network File System

# The rest are optional:
options		"CD9660"		#ISO 9660 filesystem
options		FDESC			#File descriptor filesystem
options		KERNFS			#Kernel filesystem
options		LFS			#Log filesystem
options		MFS			#Memory File System
options		MSDOSFS			#MS DOS File System
options		NULLFS			#NULL filesystem
options		PORTAL			#Portal filesystem
options		PROCFS			#Process filesystem
options		UMAPFS			#UID map filesystem
options		UNION			#Union filesystem

#
# Disk quotas are supported when this option is enabled.  If you
# change the value of this option, you must do a `make clean' in your
# kernel compile directory in order to get a working kernel.
#
options		QUOTA			#enable disk quotas


#####################################################################
# SCSI DEVICE CONFIGURATION

#
# The SCSI subsystem consists of the `base' SCSI code, a number of
# high-level SCSI device drivers, and the low-level host-adapter
# device drivers.  The host adapters are listed in the ISA and PCI
# device configuration sections below.
#
# Note that, unlike most similar systems, the FreeBSD SCSI system
# does not wire a particular device unit number to any specific
# SCSI bus unit number.  Rather, unit numbers are assigned in the
# order that the devices are found on the SCSI bus.  (This means that
# if you remove a disk drive, you may have to rewrite your /etc/fstab
# file.)  It is expected that this will change for FreeBSD 2.1.
#
controller	scbus0	#base SCSI code
device		ch0	#SCSI media changers
device		sd0	#SCSI disks
device		sd1
device		sd2
device		sd3
device		st0	#SCSI tapes
device		st1
device		uk0			#unknown scsi devices

#
# The `cd' (SCSI read-only removable disk) driver is special in that
# the code dynamically allocates more units as they are required, with
# no limit (other than memory) to the number available.
device		cd0	#SCSI CD-ROMs


#####################################################################
# MISCELLANEOUS DEVICES AND OPTIONS

#
# Of these, only the `log' device is truly mandatory.  The `pty'
# device usually turns out to be ``effectively mandatory'', as it is
# required for `telnetd', `rlogind', `screen', `emacs', and `xterm',
# among others.
#
pseudo-device	pty	4	#Pseudo ttys
pseudo-device	speaker		#Play IBM BASIC-style noises out your speaker
pseudo-device	log		#Kernel syslog interface (/dev/klog)
pseudo-device	gzip		#Exec gzipped a.out's


#####################################################################
# HARDWARE DEVICE CONFIGURATION

# ISA and EISA devices:
# Currently there is no separate support for EISA.  There should be.
# Micro Channel is not supported at all.

#
# Mandatory ISA devices: isa, sc, npx
#
controller	isa0

#
# Options for `isa':
#
# ALLOW_CONFLICT_IOADDR suppresses the I/O address conflict checks, so
# that the PS/2 mouse driver doesn't conflict with the console driver.
#
# ALLOW_CONFLICT_IRQ suppresses the interrupt line conflict checks, so
# that multiple devices can share the same IRQ, provided that the
# hardware supports it (it usually doesn't).
#
# BOUNCE_BUFFERS provides support for ISA DMA on machines with more
# than 16 megabytes of memory.  It doesn't hurt on other machines.
# Some broken EISA and VLB hardware may need this, too.
#
# DUMMY_NOPS disables the use of the inb's for very short spin periods.
# Should work ok on most EISA bus machines.
#
# TUNE_1542 enables the automatic ISA bus speed selection for the
# Adaptec 1542 boards. Does not work for all boards, use it with caution.
#
#options	ALLOW_CONFLICT_IOADDR

device		sc0	at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector scintr

#
# Options for `sc':
#
# NCONS specifies the number of virtual consoles.  Specification of
# this value is mandatory.  Due to a compiler bug, when compiling with
# GCC 2.6.0 this option must be a power of two.
#
# FAT_CURSOR specifies the use of a large block cursor rather than the
# hardware default underline.
#
# HARDFONTS allows the driver to load an ISO-8859-1 font to replace
# the default font in your display adapter's memory.
#
# UCONSOLE enables code to let any user get output intended for the
# console.
