This code is not to be reenabled again until it is fixed to my satisfaction
(as a member of core and the person who ends up dealing with most of
the host tool build bugs)
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)
- 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).
fstype checking, and back-end "ffs" support.
- Consistently use at least uint32_t for blocknumbers (vs. int / long / ...)
- Consistently use uintXX_t instead of u_intXX_t.
- Move various duplicated prototypes into "installboot.h"
to use when they don't support a particular method
- don't automatically generate machines.c anymore
- add entries for i386 (temporarily unsupported) and shark
(permanently unsupported)
