CD-ROM as the root file system. It contains a limited subset of $DESTDIR
along with sysinst. This will help to massively reduce the amount of memory
needed to install from CD or netboot, and allow us to continue using the
generic kernel on the CDs.
- 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.
RSYNC_HOST
specify rsync host (default: rsync.NetBSD.org)
RSYNC_PATH_PREFIX
specify extra prefix path of NetBSD module names for rsync mirrors
ex. "/pub", "/netbsd" etc. (default: empty)
DAILY_DIR
specify directory name on using NetBSD-daily snapshot for -current
ex. "200712060002Z" etc. (no default; mandatory for -current)
RELEASE_SUFFIX
specify suffix of directory names used for pre-releases
ex. "_BETA2", "_RC5" etc. (default: empty)
RSYNC_PATH
specify path used to rsync hosts (default: set from the above variables)
Examples:
make RELEASE=3.1 TARGET_CD_IMAGE=mac68kcd fetch
-> fetch 3.1 mac68k sets from
rsync.NetBSD.org:/NetBSD/NetBSD-3.1/
make RELEASE=4.0 TARGET_CD_IMAGE=mac68kcd RELEASE_SUFFIX=_RC5 fetch
-> fetch 4.0_RC5 mac68k sets from
rsync.NetBSD.org:/NetBSD/NetBSD-4.0_RC5/
make RELEASE=current TARGET_CD_IMAGE=mac68kcd DAILY_DIR=200712060002Z fetch
-> fetch -current mac68k sets from
rsync.NetBSD.org:/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/200712060002Z/
make RELEASE=4.0 TARGET_CD_IMAGE=mac68kcd RELEASE_SUFFIX=_RC5 \
RSYNC_HOST=rsync3.jp.NetBSD.org RSYNC_PATH_PREFIX=/pub fetch
-> fetch 4.0_RC5 mac68k sets from
rsync3.jp.NetBSD.org:/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-4.0_RC5/
make RELEASE=3.1 TARGET_CD_IMAGE=mac68kcd \
RSYNC_PATH=/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-3/200712060002Z fetch
-> fetch mac68k sets of netbsd-3 branch from
rsync.NetBSD.org:/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-3/200712060002Z
("dd if=/dev/zero bs=512 count=0" seems to cause unexpected results)
- use ${TOOL_STAT} to get file size instead of ls and awk
(1.6.x don't have ${TOOL_STAT} but they have been obsolete anyway)
Both are taken from sys/arch/i386/stand/bootxx/Makefile.bootxx.
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 ?)
A bootable sgimips has a volume header prepended, and so is useless for
anything but sgimips. The issue was not found before because the
logic to make an ISO bootable on sgimips was broken, and has been fixed by
tsutsui@ on 2007/03/04.
- introduce SGIMIPS_SGIVOL variable which specifies sgivol(8) path
because nbsgivol tool is available only in TOOLDIR for sgimips and
possibly exists in a different directory from default TOOLDIR path
- use fixed (4096) value for SGIVOLHDR.size because default value
taken from <sys/bootblock.h> is 3135 (not multiples of 4) so it
doesn't match 2048bytes/sector CD images
- also pass SGIVOLHDR.size to sgivol(8) on creating volume
- rename raw iso9660 image before creating SGIVOLHDR to avoid
incomplete (non-bootable) image left on failure of sgivol(8)
Problem (i.e. sgimipscd-3.0.2.iso is not bootable) was reported
by Thierry Lacoste on port-sgimips, and fixed images are also
tested by him on IP22 (and by me on IP32).
to make debugging Makefile easier.
For example:
# make RELEASE=3.1 obj
# make RELEASE=3.1 TARGET_CD_IMAGE=sgimipscd fetch
# make RELEASE=3.1 TARGET_CD_IMAGE=sgimipscd
or:
# make RELEASE=current obj
# make RELEASE=current RSYNC_SITE=rsync://rsync.NetBSD.org/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/200702280002Z TARGET_CD_IMAGE=macppccd fetch
# make RELEASE=current TARGET_CD_IMAGE=macppccd
etc.
necessary target system headers (<fs/unicode.h> and <fs/cd9660/iso.h>)
because system headers for the host (like <sys/stat.h>) are also pulled
from there and it causes build errors if target src tree is different
from installed one on the host.
Instead, copy the necessary system headers for host's programs into
${.OBJDIR} first.
Problem reported from Geert Hendrickx, and there is no particular comment
on tech-toolchain.
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.
to label the .iso image files.
While I'm here, modernize the ports list to what's being released with
3.0, and put them one-per-line to make it easier to comment out a single
port if necessary.
The Iyonix is a desktop machine from Castle Technology, based on a 600MHz
XScale[tm] 80321 processor.
* Uses the bootloader from NetBSD/acorn32, which is now 32-bit compatible.
* Currently boots multiuser with a serial console.
* Device support is not yet complete.
