of Szeged, Hungary.
The commit includes:
- Flash layer, which gives a common API to access flash devices
- NAND controller subsystem for the flash layer
- An example OMAP driver which is used on BeagleBoard or alike ARM boards
as the console. Now when coming up in single user mode the tset in
/.profile can set the terminal type correctly.
Note: I believe constty should be 'on' and console 'off', but thats a
separate discussion
MD MAKEDEV.conf. Not all ports have vcoda in their majors.foo files
and we shouldn't (re)assign major numbers on all ports before 5.0.
Should close PR port-sgimips/38962.
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.
commands to the controller.
Add a amrctl(8) control tool, which for now only allows to get status
from the adapter (status of adapter, logical volumes and and individual
drives).
From FreeBSD, with some adjustements by Andrew Doran and me.
at MAXPARTITIONS/OLDMAXPARTITIONS in kernel sources, so that it wouldn't
need to be specified separately in MAKEDEV.conf
change platform MAKEDEV.conf to contain only MD targets and nothing else;
simplify the parsing in MAKEDEV.awk accordingly
this contains information about disk partitions used by platform,
and MD MAKEDEV targets, such as 'init', MD part of 'all',
as well as any other MD-specific targets not covered by MAKEDEV.tmpl
any pipes and running other commands (eg dd).
Measurable speeds up creating pseudo ttys.
(there has to be a better way than editing 51 files! - tedious at only
6 key presses per file)
