CD-ROM as the root file system. It contains a limited subset of $DESTDIR
along with sysinst. This will help to massively reduce the amount of memory
needed to install from CD or netboot, and allow us to continue using the
generic kernel on the CDs.
Instead, specify "load /miniroot.kmod" per each boot menu
so that we can use bootcds to load any specific kernel in
other devices which doesn't need ramdisk miniroot.
Tested on qemu.
- Make MULTIPROCESSOR mandatory on i386.
Installation changes:
- Update installation section of release notes to match reality.
- Rename INSTALL to INSTALL_FLOPPY, retire INSTALL_LARGE.
- Build INSTALL kernel from GENERIC, like on amd64.
- Update boot menu to allow disabling ACPI and/or SMP.
- Remove GENERIC.NOACPI from the installed kernel list.
- TODO: install default boot.cfg in etc.tgz.
- TODO: possibly enable PCI fixup stuff at runtime if ACPI is disabled.
Build changes:
- No longer build ALL, it's for verification, is slow to build and the
build process is already crippled by the number of kernels built.
- No longer build GENERIC.NOACPI.
images. amd64 gets a single kernel; i386 images gets 3 kernels:
- netbsd, copy from netbsd-INSTALL_LARGE.gz, loaded by default
- nbsd-l, copy from netbsd-INSTALL_LAPTOP.gz
- nbsd-i, copy from netbsd-INSTALL.gz for those who want the traditionnal
non-ACPI kernel
- drop the bootcd-laptop image
both gets an installcd image, which is the same as bootcd but with the
binary sets in addition to kernels.
as the bootcd* CDs just with the install sets added to
the CD as well.
XXX 1) The implementation of this is rather cludgy (copying sets around),
as our makefs(8) can't put files from multiple directories into
one image -- something that mkisofs can do with 'graft' points
XXX 2) This should be run after 'build.sh release' - It would be nice
if we had a seperate stage to add such hooks in our build framework
