viocon* at virtio?
/dev/ttyVI??
Tested under qemu with:
qemu-system-aarch64 ... \
-device virtio-serial \
-chardev socket,path=/tmp/ttyVI00,server=on,wait=off,id=ttyVI00 \
-device virtconsole,chardev=ttyVI00,name=org.NetBSD.dev.ttyVI00 \
...
I updated MAKEDEV.conf to create /dev/ttyVI?? on all ports where it
looks likely to work based on:
(a) having pci or a non-pci virtio attachment,
(b) `qemu-system-$ARCH -M ?' mentioned something resembling the port,
and
(c) `qemu-system-$ARCH -device virtio-serial' launched without
complaining about the virtio-serial device.
(Criterion (c) excluded sparc and sparc64.)
The /dev/acpi character device gives an aperture into physical memory
that allows only read access to known ACPI tables: RSDP, XSDT/RSDT, and
the root tables. Adapt acpidump(8) to use this interface by default,
falling back to the old /dev/mem method if it is not available or if
ACPIDUMP_USE_DEVMEM=1 is set in the environment. The user visible benefit
of this change is that "options INSECURE" is no longer required to
dump ACPI tables.
With this switch processes (such as xconsole) can open /dev/console
without breaking login on the text or serial console. This can be
trivially triggered by enabling xdm in rc.conf and hitting
Ctrl+Alt+F1 or equivalent once booted.
The changes:
- Add entry for /dev/console or /dev/constty if missing
- If a port's had /dev/console 'on' switch it off and enable /dev/constty
- If a port did not have /dev/console 'on', leave /dev/constty off
Some ports had /dev/console off and /dev/ttyE0 enabled, presumably to
avoid just this issue. It may make sense to adjust these also (but not
in this pass)
As discussed on current-users
We probably don't need more than one pci file, but the code needs to be
changed for it, which might introduce problems, and we're just before a
branch.
Not needed for evbarm because it uses devpubd by default.

The ability to disable ACPI and SMP is still there, by dropping to

ten years ago from FreeBSD for the same reason.
This retires a big user of the mbuf API, and will ease maintenance of the

fallback if /netbsd is not present. netbsd is the first name to be tried anyway.

move all ttyE* entries that use "vt100" emulation to wsvt25 term type.
The terminfo vt220 entry lacked (correctly) a delete key entry, which
was a regression against the netbsd-5 termcap entry. On the other hand,
only a very small number of foreign systems lacks support for wsvt25
nowadays.

rc.conf file. This one should reside under etc/etc.${MACHINE}/, and will
get automatically appended to etc/defaults/rc.conf at build time if present.
This is used by i386 and amd64 to append a small MD rc.conf(5) configuration
at the end of the defaults/rc.conf file, so that powerd(8) can be started
by default when we are running in a Xen environment. This is needed to support
save/restore functions for domains.
From all the alternatives proposed to fix that issue (from /etc/rc.conf
parsing in postinstall to etc/defaults/rc.conf arch-hooks) I believe
this one will appease everyone because it:
- does not touch etc/defaults/rc.conf template file,
- patches it at build time for MD hooks only when required,
- does not need to parse/modify a user-specified file like /etc/rc.conf (which
is a complex, error-prone operation),
- only enables powerd(8) by default when conditions are met (Xen environment)
while still allowing root to shoot himself in the foot if he wants to
override this manually in /etc/rc.conf.

- NAND controller subsystem for the flash layer

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.
