- re-read RISC/os volume header off disk before writing new label
in case it was updated by installboot utility
- no longer keep a copy of the volume header in cpu_disklabel
This adds the missing wbflush() calls after writing register data.
At same time tidy up several comments and make several KNF changes.
XXX: The z8530 MI driver doesn't support bus_space access to the registers
(lacks a hook for storing a bus space tag, and stores register
addresses directly)
Until other ports catch up (this is the first) we have overlayed
the missing data in the MD structures
and link it directly to db_command_table[] so that it's not necessary
to do this at runtime. Make db_machine_command_table[] const on all ports.
g/c now unneded stuff, like db_machine_commands_install(), db_machine_init()
Patch written by enami.
is fussy about the order of sections and location of memory gaps so we
must produce a firmware friendly version of the kernel as netbsd.ecoff for
network booting
The ELF version uses the standard mips linker script which can be loaded
by the new bootstrap routines
rather than assigning to the whole field, set or clear individual flags,
which implies that the B_BUSY and B_INVAL flags will remain set.
this allows us to make the assertion in brelse() that B_BUSY is set,
which is the purpose of all this.
pseudo-device pty 2 # pseudo-terminals (Sysinst needs two)
(Some installers may not be using sysinst, in which case this just reduces
the number of ptys from 16 that are not used to 2 that are not used)
For i386 conf files, no change other than comments.
we have to poke the data structures directly to force the offset we need.
The open() function returns with the address of the IO control block in
register t0 so we take a copy of it for our brute-force lseek function.
This should be reasonably portable since the firmware writers closely
follow UNIX semantics and the open stubs should recompile and use the
same registers. May break on the rebadged clones -- buyer beware.
The alternative is to use dummy reads to go forwards and reopen followed
by dummy reads to go backwards. It takes around 60 seconds to boot
using this method if we use a clean filesystem.
Tested with firmware versions 5.40 and 5.43
