AT386 Protected Mode Bootstrap Loader
|
||
|
|
=====================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Overview of Startup
|
||
|
|
-------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After the system is rebooted, the BIOS bootstrap routine reads Sector
|
||
|
|
1, Track 0 into memory at location 0000:7C00H. If location 0000:7DFEH
|
||
|
|
(last two bytes of that sector) contains the value AA55H, the BIOS
|
||
|
|
bootstrap routine will transfer control to 0000:7C00H. Otherwise, the
|
||
|
|
boot code in that sector is bad and the boot routine stops.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For DOS compatibility reason, one extra stage of boot is required if
|
||
|
|
the boot device is a hard disk. The first sector of the hard disk will
|
||
|
|
contain the MOS-DOS boot code and a boot record partition table.
|
||
|
|
When this sector is loaded into 0000:7C00H, it will relocate itself
|
||
|
|
to somewhere else and then load the first sector of the active
|
||
|
|
partition into 0000:7C00H. Both UNIX and DOS use the command "fdisk"
|
||
|
|
[ 386bsd does not have an 'fdisk' (yet) ]
|
||
|
|
to install this first sector into the hard disk and to manipulate
|
||
|
|
the hard disk partitions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. The First Stage Bootstrap Loader
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After startup, the first stage boot is loaded at 0000:7C00H. This
|
||
|
|
first stage boot will load itself and the second stage boot into
|
||
|
|
memory at location 0000:1000H. For floppy disks, the first cylinder
|
||
|
|
is reserved as the boot cylinder, and the boot code (first and second)
|
||
|
|
will be loaded from there. Currently, only double sided, high density
|
||
|
|
(15 sectors per track) floppies are supported. For hard disks, the
|
||
|
|
first 29 sectors of the active partition is reserved for boot code
|
||
|
|
which will be loaded by the first stage boot. All the disk types
|
||
|
|
recognized by BIOS are supported by this bootstrap loader.
|
||
|
|
[for 386bsd we load the second stage booter to 9000:0]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. The Second Stage Bootstrap Loader
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After the boot code is loaded, the control is passed to the second
|
||
|
|
stage bootstrap loader "boot2()". In order to be able to load the
|
||
|
|
big kernel image (bigger than 512K or 640K, depends on the memory
|
||
|
|
configuration), the second stage boot loader will run on the protected
|
||
|
|
mode. This bootstarp loader does not have any stand alone device
|
||
|
|
drivers, all the I/O's are through the BIOS calls. Since the first
|
||
|
|
stage boot code will no longer be used at this moment, the memory
|
||
|
|
location of the first stage boot code (0000:1000H to 0000:1200H) will
|
||
|
|
be used as an internal buffer for BIOS calls. Immediately after this
|
||
|
|
internal buffer is the GDT table for the second stage boot loader.
|
||
|
|
Since this boot loader needs to switch back and forth between protected
|
||
|
|
and real mode in order to use BIOS calls, the limit of the boot code
|
||
|
|
and boot data segments must not be greater than 64K.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The boot loader loads the kernel image at memory location above 1 MB
|
||
|
|
to skip the memory hole between 521K/640K and 1MB. After the kernel
|
||
|
|
is loaded, the boot loader stores the information in the stack and
|
||
|
|
then passes control to kernel. Currently, the three information passed
|
||
|
|
fromm the boot loader to the kernel are type of the boot device, size
|
||
|
|
of the base memory and size of the extended memory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[ 386bsd receives: howto, bootdev]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[ 386bsd is loaded where-ever the "MByte" bits of the load address specify,
|
||
|
|
so if you link it for FE100000 it will load to 1MB, but if you link
|
||
|
|
it for FE000000 it will load ad 0MB]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[for machines with only 512KB normal ram the kernel will need to be linked
|
||
|
|
for 1MB and the bootblocks modified to run below 512KB. (8000:0)]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. The UNIX Startup
|
||
|
|
----------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since the boot loader loads the kernel image at memory location above
|
||
|
|
1MB, the kernel has to start as protected mode. In addition, the
|
||
|
|
link editor description file (vuifile) has to indicate that
|
||
|
|
the text and data segments start above 1MB. Also, the boot loader
|
||
|
|
passes the infomation to the kernel through the stack.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[MOST of what is mentionned below is NOT relevant to 386bsd]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. Disk Layout and Bad Block Handling
|
||
|
|
---------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The System V/386 Release 3.2 (AT) disk layout will be used as the disk
|
||
|
|
layout for the MACH System on the AT platform.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This disk layout is as follows:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Reserve the first sector of cylinder 0 for the DOS boot record which
|
||
|
|
contains the master boot code (446 bytes) and the partition table.
|
||
|
|
(Refer to DOS Technical Reference Manual page 9-6 to 9-10).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Reserve the first 29 sectors of the UNIX partition for the first
|
||
|
|
and the second stage bootstrap.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Reserve the 30th sector of the UNIX partition for the pdinfo and
|
||
|
|
the vtoc tables.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Reserve the 31st to the 34th sectors of the UNIX partition for the
|
||
|
|
bad track and the bad block mapping tables.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Reserve up to 253 consecutive tracks when required, beginning with
|
||
|
|
the 35th sector of the UNIX partition, for alternate tracks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Reserve up to 253 consecutive blocks, beginning with the first
|
||
|
|
sector after the alternate tracks area, for alternate blocks.

||

|
The bad block handling mechanism is as follows:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Use the alternate track in the alternate tracks area if the
|
||
|
|
track containing the target sector is bad.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Use the alternate block in the alternate blocks area if the
|
||
|
|
target sector is bad.
|
||
|

|
6. How to make:
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since the kernel image is loaded above 1 MB, the kernel must start
|
||
|
|
as protected mode. This means that this bootstrap loader will work
|
||
|
|
only when the corresponding changes on the kernel startup code are done.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The make command to generate this bootstrap loader is:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
make -f boot.mk fdboot (floppy boot loader)
|
||
|
|
make -f boot.mk hdboot (wini boot loader)
|
||
|
|
[to make 386bsd bootblocks "make sd wd" (warning: they will be installed
|
||
|
|
in /dev/mdec.. take backups)]
