- add some missing dirs under sys/arch
(XXX openblocks405 and pdp10 are still missing)
- sync some descriptions with 3.0 announcement
XXX: any reason to keep sys/arch/openblocks405?
system-specific values. Submitted by Chris Demetriou in Nov 1995 (!)
in PR kern/1781, modified only slighly by me.
This is enabled on a per-mount basis with the MNT_MAGICLINKS mount
flag. It can be enabled at mountroot() time by building the kernel
with the ROOTFS_MAGICLINKS option.
The following magic strings are supported by the implementation:
@machine value of MACHINE for the system
@machine_arch value of MACHINE_ARCH for the system
@hostname the system host name, as set with sethostname()
@domainname the system domain name, as set with setdomainname()
@kernel_ident the kernel config file name
@osrelease the releaes number of the OS
@ostype the name of the OS (always "NetBSD" for NetBSD)
Example usage:
mkdir /arch/i386/bin
mkdir /arch/sparc/bin
ln -s /arch/@machine_arch/bin /bin
- - Clarify how to do multi-platform releases. README, SOURCE_DATE, and
"source" are placed at the root of the heirarchy. Call the heirarchies
in <machine> the "binary releases", to distinguish from the entire
release, which includes source.
- - Split sets are gone.
- - We can now do everything with "./build.sh". Tell how.
I proposed this on tech-install and tech-toolchain, and there were no
objections.
The Iyonix is a desktop machine from Castle Technology, based on a 600MHz
XScale[tm] 80321 processor.
* Uses the bootloader from NetBSD/acorn32, which is now 32-bit compatible.
* Currently boots multiuser with a serial console.
* Device support is not yet complete.
With help from abs.
