and create sums for it.
This means all the pieces to do network installation are easily accessible
following a release build (and will also come out of the build servers).
netbsd-GENERIC is in binary/kernel/
pxeboot_ia32.bin is in installation/misc/
miniroot.kmod is in installation/miniroot/
- 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.
GENERIC kernels. If ACPI is an issue on your hardware, 'boot -c' and
'disable acpi' should be a workaround. ACPI-enabled kernels works fine
on pre-acpi hardware.
for amd64:
- add ACPI to INSTALL and GENERIC, remove the *_ACPI config files.
- get rid of the bootfloppy-big.fs boot image, and got to a 3-floppy boot
image
for i386:
- introduce INSTALL_LARGE which has ACPI and some devices with big firmware
- move some devices from INSTALL to INSTALL_LARGE
- Boot floppies still use INSTALL, and bootfloppy-big.fs is still there
(for thoses who want to build el-torito floppy emulation boot CD) and use
INSTALL.
For both, drop the 'iso-image' code in etc/ to make the iso bootable, we'll
use something else to build bootable CDs.
GENERIC_PS2TINY kernels.
These kernels are for i386 (and small i486) systems that have almost all
long since met their makers.
Add ALL (to help avoid bitrot).
- Add xen devices to MAKEDEV
- Add Xen kernels to list of kernel to build
- Add INSTALL_XENU to the install kernels
- introduce the xbd disk devices to sysinst.
This will add 3 kernels to the i386 release:
XEN0 for use as a Xen domain0 kernel
XENU for use on a non-privileged domain
INSTALL_XENU to install NetBSD on a non-privileged domain virtual disk.
boot image of the CD-ROM via the CDROM_BOOT_IMAGE variable. The
user may want to create a bootable image with bootlap-big.fs which
uses the INSTALL_LAPTOP kernel configuration instead of the default
boot-big.fs image which uses the INSTALL kernel configuration.
- Add ${.CURDIR} to various rules.
- Remove the ${KERNOBJDIR} (sys/arch/${MACHINE}/compile) objdir creation
from here.
- Rework iso-image to copy temporary files (such as kernels or boot files)
into a temporary directory instead of stomping over ${RELEASEDIR}, and
use mkisofs -graft-points to merge the temporary directory and
${RELEASEDIR}/${MACHINE}.
NOTE: mkisofs 2.0 is highly recommended for functioning -graft-points
- Add some more comments
for all platforms.
- remove now unnecessary replicated code in the various snap_md_post targets
- remove snap_md_pre; nothing uses it any more
- use ${NETBSDSRCDIR} and ${KERNSRCDIR} as appropriate
more consistent. To quote the comment in etc/Makefile
that describes how it's done:
# This target builds the kernels specified by each port. A port may
# specify the following kernels:
#
# KERNEL_SETS The list of kernels that will be
# packaged into sets, named
# kern-${kernel}.tgz. These kernels
# are also placed in the binary/kernels
# area of the release package as
# netbsd-${kernel}.gz.
#
# EXTRA_KERNELS Additional kernels to place in the
# binary/kernels area of the release
# package as netbsd-${kernel}.gz, but
# which are not placed into sets. This
# allows a port to provide e.g. a netbootable
# installation kernel containing a ramdisk.
#
# BUILD_KERNELS Additional kernels to build which are
# not placed into sets nor into the
# binary/kernels area of the release
# package. These are typically kernels
# that are built for inclusion only in
# installation disk/CD-ROM/tape images.
#
set in src/etc after a "make release" in both "src" and "xsrc", to create a
ISO-image of the release in $RELEASEDIR/installation/cdrom.
Hook for architecture dependent pre/post-processing in etc/etc.*/Makefile.inc
are available as 'iso-image_md_post' and 'iso-image_md_pre', see
etc/etc.i386/Makefile.inc as an example. Might be useful for setting up
bootable CDs on alpha, sparc, ...
