Oops. The sample device ed0 line under "How-To-Repeat" will not cause a problem as written because it contains the corrected value (iosiz) instead of the one listed in the manpage (iosize). State Changed From-To: open->closed Fixed, thanks! Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-doc->ru |
In the manpage for ed(4) under CAVEATS, it says: 16bit Compex cards identify themselves as being 8bit. While these cards will work in 8bit mode, much higher performance can be achieved by specifying 'flags 0x04' (force 16bit mode) in your kernel config file. In addition, you should also specify 'iosize 16384' to take advantage of the extra 8k of shared memory that 16bit mode provides. It should say "iosiz 16384" (without the 'e'). Fix: This is merely a typo in the manpage, probably long overlooked. Change should be applied to line 178 of src/share/man/man4/ed.4 How-To-Repeat: man 4 ed OR run config on a kernel config file containing this line: device ed0 at isa? port 0x300 flags 0x04 irq 5 iosiz 16384 iomem 0xd8000 config will say config: line %n: syntax error
