Some of the stuff (e.g., rarpd, bootpd, dhcpd etc., libsa) still will
only support Ethernet. Tcpdump itself should be ok, but libpcap needs
lot of work.
For the detailed change history, look at the commit log entries for
the is-newarp branch.
compute the number of iterations through the copy loop based
on file size; the miniroot image may be compressed. Instead,
ignore short reads in the NFS case, and handle them like EOF.
- Fix typo in a printf format.
The boot blocks do a primitive form of autoconfiguration. Duplicate some
of the old config strcutures for the benefit of the boot blocks; they
don't need something as flexible as the kernel does.
- Always allow RAW_PART to be opened, regardless of the partition table.
- Never do partition translation on RAW_PART; it's always offset 0.
- Always make sure the disklabel is read from RAW_PART.
- Make *strategy() return values consistent.
This fixes a condition where a bogus partition table could be written
to the disk from SYS_INST, and the user had no way to rewrite with
a correct partition table, since RAW_PART would be invalid.
kernel setroot(). The device type for network boot is set like any
other device now. Also, call the punit entry point for device drivers
to properly set `bootdev'.
- Good bye SYS_PBOOT and SYS_NBOOT, hello SYS_UBOOT (unified boot)
Currently supports booting from SCSI and HP-IB disk and network
from a single boot block. Infrastructure for booting from
HP-IB tape is there, but it doesn't quite work yet.
- Add a slightly modified version of Gordon Ross's "rawfs",
which provides a filesystem-like interface to tape devices.
Still needs debugging (see above).
- Rename sys_inst.c to inst.c, so that the LIF directory entry
turns out right (used to look like SYS_SYS_I if loaded from
tape).
- Add a "netio_ask" hint to netio.c, so that a special instnetio.o
doesn't have to be compiled for SYS_INST. Defaults to using
bootparams, but if set, will prompt user for information
usually obtained from bootparams.
- General cleanup.
a dca-specific constant. For now, hardwire standalone DCA console
at select code 9 (which is what the old constant expanded to). Really
should make the way the bootblock console is probed look just like how
the kernel console is probed.
* Prompt user for disklabel information and label disk.
* Copy miniroot image from NFS server to `b' partition.
* Boot kernel in miniroot image into single-user mode.
Hooks for tape support are there, but the meat for that isn't implemented yet.
