all the options have been processed that they are supported my the
specific system.
Add i386 MD options (console, password, speed and timeout)
(Approved by christos and lukem)
64 bit block pointers, extended attribute storage, and a few
other things.
This commit does not yet include the code to manipulate the extended
storage (for e.g. ACLs), this will be done later.
Originally written by Kirk McKusick and Network Associates Laboratories for
FreeBSD.
- bbinfo_params:
- replace "int littleendian" with "bbinfo_endian endian"
- add comments
- shared_bbinfo_clearboot():
- add callback method to shared_bbinfo_clearboot()
- don't clear from 0..headeroffset; use a callback to do that
- add news68k and newsmips support.
From Izumi Tsutsui <tsutsui@ceres.dti.ne.jp>, with a rework by me to
take advantage of the new shared_bbinfo_clearboot() callback.
(XXX: untested yet)
- unify sparc_bbinfo (1064 bytes, with 256 block entries)
and sun68k_bbinfo (296 byte, with 64 block entries)
into shared_bbinfo (512 bytes, with 118 block entries),
which will be also shared by future bbinfo-using platforms
(including macppc)
- add datestamp to *_BBINFO_MAGIC strings, to prevent installboot vs
bootxx version skew.
- add macppc support
*/bootxx.c:
- migrate to new shared_bbinfo structure
installboot:
- add macppc support (still needs applepartmap support and testing)
- improve and add some more warnings & errors to installboot
- implement shared_bbinfo_clearboot() and shared_bbinfo_setboot(), which
perform the majority of the work for bbinfo-using back-ends
(rather than replicating that across multiple back-ends).
