cpu          I486_CPU
cpu          I586_CPU
cpu          I686_CPU</programlisting>

    <para>The above specifies the type of CPU you have in your system.
      You may have multiple instances of the CPU line (i.e., you are not
      sure whether you should use <literal>I586_CPU</literal> or
      <literal>I686_CPU</literal>), however, for a custom kernel, it is
      best to specify only the CPU you have.  If you are unsure which type
      your CPU use, you can use the <command>dmesg</command> command to
      view your boot up messages.</para>

    <para>The Alpha architecture has different values for
      <literal>cpu_type</literal>.  They include:</para>

    <programlisting>
cpu          EV4
cpu          EV5</programlisting>

    <para>If you are using an Alpha machine, you should be using one of
      the above CPU types.</para>

    <programlisting>ident          GENERIC</programlisting>

    <para>This is the identification of the kernel.  You should change
      this to whatever you named your kernel, in our previous example,
      <literal>MYKERNEL</literal>.  The value you put in the
      <literal>ident</literal> string will print when you boot up the
      kernel, so it is useful to give a kernel a different name if you
      want to keep it separate from your usual kernel (i.e., you want to
      build an experimental kernel).</para>

    <programlisting>maxusers          32</programlisting>

    <para>The <literal>maxusers</literal> option sets the size of a number
      of important system tables.  This number is supposed to be roughly
      equal to the number of simultaneous users you expect to have on your
      machine.  However, under normal circumstances, you will want to set
      <literal>maxusers</literal> to at least 4, especially if you are
      using the X Window System or compiling software.  The reason is that
      the most important table set by <literal>maxusers</literal> is the
      maximum number of processes,  which is set to <literal>20 + 16 *
      maxusers</literal>, so if you set <literal>maxusers</literal> to 1,
      then you can only have 36 simultaneous processes, including the 18
      or so that the system starts up at boot time, and the 15 or so you
      will probably create when you start the X Window System.  Even a
      simple task like reading a man page will start up nine processes to
      filter, decompress, and view it.  Setting
      <literal>maxusers</literal> to 64 will allow you to have up to 1044
      simultaneous processes, which should be enough for nearly all uses.
      If, however, you see the dreaded <errortype>proc table
      full</errortype> error when trying to start another program, or are
      running a server with a large number of simultaneous users (like
      <hostid role="fqdn">ftp.FreeBSD.org</hostid>), you can always
      increase the number and rebuild.</para>

      <note>
      <para><literal>maxusers</literal> does <emphasis>not</emphasis>
	limit the number of users which can log into your machine.  It
	simply sets various table sizes to reasonable values considering
	the maximum number of users you will likely have on your system
	and how many processes each of them will be running.  One keyword
	which <emphasis>does</emphasis> limit the number of simultaneous
	<emphasis>remote logins</emphasis> is <link
	linkend="kernelconfig-ptys"><literal>pseudo-device pty
	16</literal></link>.</para>
      </note>

    <para>Everything that follows is more or less optional.  See the notes
      underneath or next to each option for more information.</para>

    <programlisting>
#makeoptions     DEBUG=-g          #Build kernel with gdb(1) debug symbols
options          MATH_EMULATE      #Support for x87 emulation</programlisting>

    <para>This line allows the kernel to simulate a math co-processor if
      your computer does not have one (386 or 486SX).  If you have a
      486DX, or a 386 or 486SX (with a separate 387 or 487 chip), or
      higher (Pentium, Pentium II, etc.), you can comment this line
      out.</para>

    <note>
      <para>The normal math co-processor emulation routines that come with
	FreeBSD are <emphasis>not</emphasis> very accurate.  If you do not
	have a math co-processor, and you need the best accuracy, it is
	recommended that you change this option to
	<literal>GPL_MATH_EMULATION</literal> to use the GNU math support,
	which is not included by default for licensing reasons.</para>
    </note>

    <programlisting>
options          INET          #InterNETworking</programlisting>

    <para>Networking support.  Leave this in, even if you do not plan to
      be connected to a network.  Most programs require at least loopback
      networking (i.e., making network connections within your PC), so
      this is essentially mandatory.</para>

    <programlisting>
options          INET6          #IPv6 communications protocols</programlisting>

    <para>This enables the IPv6 communication protocols.</para>

    <programlisting>
options          FFS          #Berkeley Fast Filesystem
options          FFS_ROOT     #FFS usable as root device [keep this!]</programlisting>

    <para>This is the basic hard drive filesystem.  Leave it in if you
      boot from the hard disk.</para>

    <programlisting>
options          MFS          #Memory Filesystem
options          MD_ROOT      #MD is a potential root device</programlisting>

    <para>This is the memory-mapped filesystem.  This is basically a RAM
      disk for fast storage of temporary files, useful if you have a lot
      of swap space that you want to take advantage of.  A perfect place
      to mount an MFS partition is on the <filename>/tmp</filename>
      directory, since many programs store temporary data here.  To mount
      an MFS RAM disk on <filename>/tmp</filename>, add the following line
      to <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>:</para>

    <informalexample>
      <programlisting>/dev/ad1s2b	/tmp mfs rw 0 0</programlisting>
    </informalexample>

    <para>Now you simply need to either reboot, or run the command
      <command>mount /tmp</command>.</para>

    <programlisting>
options          NFS          #Network Filesystem
options          NFS_ROOT     #NFS usable as root device, NFS required</programlisting>

    <para>The network filesystem.  Unless you plan to mount partitions
      from a UNIX file server over TCP/IP, you can comment these
      out.</para>

    <programlisting>
options          MSDOSFS      #MSDOS Filesystem</programlisting>

    <para>The MS-DOS filesystem.  Unless you plan to mount a DOS formatted
      hard drive partition at boot time, you can safely comment this out.
      It will be automatically loaded the first time you mount a DOS
      partition, as described above.  Also, the excellent
      <application>mtools</application> software (in the ports collection)
      allows you to access DOS floppies without having to mount and
      unmount them (and does not require <literal>MSDOSFS</literal> at
      all).</para>

    <programlisting>
options          CD9660       #ISO 9660 Filesystem
options          CD9660_ROOT  #CD-ROM usable as root, CD9660 required</programlisting>

    <para>The ISO 9660 filesystem for CDROMs.  Comment it out if you do
      not have a CDROM drive or only mount data CDs occasionally (since it
      will be dynamically loaded the first time you mount a data CD).
      Audio CDs do not need this filesystem.</para>

    <programlisting>
options          PROCFS       #Process filesystem</programlisting>

    <para>The process filesystem.  This is a <quote>pretend</quote>
      filesystem mounted on <filename>/proc</filename> which allows
      programs like &man.ps.1; to give you more information on what
      processes are running.</para>

    <programlisting>
options          COMPAT_43    #Compatible with BSD 4.3 [KEEP THIS!]</programlisting>

    <para>Compatibility with 4.3BSD.  Leave this in; some programs will
      act strangely if you comment this out.</para>

    <programlisting>
options          SCSI_DELAY=15000    #Delay (in ms) before probing SCSI</programlisting>

    <para>This causes the kernel to pause for 15 seconds before probing
      each SCSI device in your system.  If you only have IDE hard drives,
      you can ignore this, otherwise you will probably want to lower this
      number, perhaps to 5 seconds, to speed up booting.  Of course, if
      you do this, and FreeBSD has trouble recognizing your SCSI devices,
      you will have to raise it back up.</para>

    <programlisting>
options          UCONSOLE            #Allow users to grab the console</programlisting>

    <para>Allow users to grab the console, which is useful for X users.
      For example, you can create a console xterm by typing <command>xterm
      -C</command>, which will display any <command>write</command>,
      <command>talk</command>, and any other messages you receive, as well
      as any console messages sent by the kernel.</para>

    <programlisting>
options          USERCONFIG          #boot -c editor</programlisting>

    <para>This option allows you to boot the configuration editor from the
      boot menu.</para>

    <programlisting>
options          VISUAL_USERCONFIG   #visual boot -c editor</programlisting>

    <para>This option allows you to boot the visual configuration editor
      from the boot menu.</para>

    <programlisting>
options          KTRACE              #ktrace(1) support</programlisting>

    <para>This enables kernel process tracing, which is useful in
      debugging.</para>

    <programlisting>
options          SYSVSHM             #SYSV-style shared memory</programlisting>

    <para>This option provides for System V shared memory.  The most
      common use of this is the XSHM extension in X, which many
      graphics-intensive programs will automatically take advantage of for
      extra speed.  If you use X, you'll definitely want to include
      this.</para>

    <programlisting>
options          SYSVSEM             #SYSV-style semaphores</programlisting>

    <para>Support for System V semaphores.  Less commonly used but only
      adds a few hundred bytes to the kernel.</para>

    <programlisting>
options          SYSVMSG             #SYSV-style message queues</programlisting>

    <para>Support for System V messages.  Again, only adds a few hundred
      bytes to the kernel.</para>

    <note>
      <para>The &man.ipcs.1; command will list any processes using each of
	these System V facilities.</para>
    </note>

    <programlisting>
options 	P1003_1B		#Posix P1003_1B real-time extentions
options 	_KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING</programlisting>

    <para>Real-time extensions added in the 1993 POSIX.  Certain
      applications in the ports collection use these (such as Star
      Office).</para>

    <programlisting>
options		ICMP_BANDLIM		#Rate limit bad replies</programlisting>

    <para>This option enables ICMP error response bandwidth limiting.  You
      typically want this option as it will help protect the machine from
      denial of service packet attacks.</para>

    <programlisting>
# To make an SMP kernel, the next two are needed
#options        SMP                     # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel
#options        APIC_IO                 # Symmetric (APIC) I/O</programlisting>

    <para>The above are both required for SMP support.</para>

    <programlisting>
# Optionally these may need tweaked, (defaults shown):
#options        NCPU=2                  # number of CPUs
#options        NBUS=4                  # number of busses
#options        NAPIC=1                 # number of IO APICs
#options        NINTR=24                # number of INTs</programlisting>

    <para>These are some additional SMP knobs.</para>

    <programlisting>device          isa</programlisting>

    <para>All PCs supported by FreeBSD have one of these.  If you have an
      IBM PS/2 (Micro Channel Architecture), you cannot run FreeBSD at
      this time (support is being worked on).</para>

    <programlisting>device          eisa</programlisting>

    <para>Include this if you have an EISA motherboard.  This enables
      auto-detection and configuration support for all devices on the EISA
      bus.</para>

    <programlisting>device          pci</programlisting>

    <para>Include this if you have a PCI motherboard.  This enables
      auto-detection of PCI cards and gatewaying from the PCI to ISA
      bus.</para>

    <programlisting>
#options        ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI_DMA    #Enable DMA on ATAPI devices</programlisting>

    <para>This enables DMA on the ATAPI device.  Since many ATAPI devices

    <para><literal>sc0</literal> is the default console driver, which
      resembles a SCO console.  Since most full-screen programs access the
      console through a terminal database library like
      <filename>termcap</filename>, it should not matter whether you use
      this or <literal>vt0</literal>, the <literal>VT220</literal>
      compatible console driver.  When you log in, set your
      <envar>TERM</envar> variable to <literal>scoansi</literal> if
      full-screen programs have trouble running under this console.</para>

    <para>This is a VT220-compatible console driver, backward compatible to
      VT100/102.  It works well on some laptops which have hardware
      incompatibilities with <literal>sc0</literal>.  Also set your
      <envar>TERM</envar> variable to <literal>vt100</literal> or
      <literal>vt220</literal> when you log in.  This driver might also
      prove useful when connecting to a large number of different machines
      over the network, where <filename>termcap</filename> or
      <filename>terminfo</filename> entries for the <literal>sc0</literal>

    <para>These are the four serial ports referred to as COM1 through COM4
      in the MS-DOS/Windows world.</para>

    <note>
      <para>If you have an internal modem on COM4 and a serial port at
	COM2, you will have to change the IRQ of the modem to 2 (for
	obscure technical reasons, IRQ2 = IRQ 9) in order to access it
	from FreeBSD.  If you have a multiport serial card, check the
	manual page for &man.sio.4; for more information on the proper
	values for these lines.  Some video cards (notably those based on
	S3 chips) use IO addresses in the form of
	<literal>0x*2e8</literal>, and since many cheap serial cards do
	not fully decode the 16-bit IO address space, they clash with
	these cards making the COM4 port practically unavailable.</para>

      <para>Each serial port is required to have a unique IRQ (unless you
        are using one of the multiport cards where shared interrupts are
	supported), so the default IRQs for COM3 and COM4 cannot be
	used.</para>
