use the `a_entry' field from the kernel's header as a base.
Pass on a new DDB magic number to the kernel, so kernels linked for a
different KERNBASE value can apply a correction when booted from old
bootblocks.
prevents booting DDB kernels that are built with a different value of KERNBASE.
Apply a correction based on the magic number passed in by the bootblocks.
New bootblocks without the hard-coded KERNBASE reference will be assigned
a new magic number.
reset sequence to complete. Just sending the reset command and rushing
off -- like it used to do -- might cause the keyboard's response to get
lost in case the remaining kernel initialization decides to interact
with the console (RB_ASK!) by calling cngetc(), which goes off polling
within the PROM.
(currently only CD-ROM drives on i386). The sys/dev/scsipi system provides 2
busses to which devices can attach (scsibus and atapibus). This needed to
change some include files and structure names in the low level scsi drivers.
at the same time instead by using two different calls. This enables
it to check more easily if the combined mode is all right.
- Improve the error checking in audio.c.
- Add a new audio property, AUDIO_PROP_INDEPENDENT, show if the
play and record settings are independent.
- Fix some buglets in audio.c.
- Change the way attach and open works to allow multiple audio
devices.
- Split the mulaw.c file into two to avoid dragging in mulaw
convertsion when they are not needed. Add 16 bit alaw/mulaw tables.
- Change the way audio properties are gotten.
- Recognize more versions os SoundBlaster.
- It is now possible to handle devices that want "looping" DMA,
e.g. the SoundBlaster correctly. The WSS and SB drivers use this.
To do this several new methods were introduced in audio_hw_if.
- Different silence handling (forced by previous change).
- The audio driver can now be mmap()-ed, but due to problems in
the VM system only for writing for now.
- The OSS (Linux) audio emulation takes advantage of some of the
new features.
