- 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.
Use x86 native boot for current.
Swap i386 and amd64 in multiarch CD sets (cd1 would overflow by 30M otherwise)
and leave vax out (cd3 would overflow by more than 100M - time for a
multi-cd4 ?)
on (some) OpenFirmware 2.x machines.
Current macppccd.iso image doesn't boot on Openfirmware 2.x
(and probably 1.0.5) machines because it uses pre-compiled binary
which is based on old (and customized) bootxx.
It causes version mismatch against newer ofwboot whose load address
has been changed from 0x600000 to 0xe00000, as mentioned in the
following post:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-macppc/2004/12/14/0020.html
There was also an raw binary which was passed to mkisofs as -boot-hfs-file.
To fix these issue, prepare a simple mkhfsboot program which creates
a boothfs file with the Apple partition map info for mkisofs,
and modify macppc_installboot to search the secondary ofwboot from isofs
and to put and modify the primary bootxx accordingly.
See PR toolchain/30245 for more details.
There are still some machines which don't boot from an iso image created
by this method (G3 machines with OF 2.0f1 etc.), but it's still better
than to keep ugly and obsolete hacks.
Ok'ed by macallan, and there is no other particular comment about this PR.
