Still needs some work, but this will load a kernel on a Soekris net4501.
Many thanks to Frank van der Linden and his simulator wizardry for
helping me debug the low-level startup code.
of removing the duplicate variables, make sure that any duplicate
variable that has an initial value in libsa also has an initial
value here; this keeps the linker from pulling in the libsa
definition.
Don't make clean and cleandir depend on the lib subdir.
Just check for it's existance before running the submake.
This makes it possible to run a make build (which runs
cleandir before make obj) in a r/o source tree.
* recognize PS/2 L40 via biosmca() and biosmca_ps2model in gatea20.c, instead
of being a compile time option
* if the system is PS/2 with MCA bus, map DTYPE_ESDI disks to ed(4) for
COMPAT_OLDBOOT
The new code is conditional on SUPPORT_PS2 define, which is on by default
for biosboot-based bootblocks.
variable, if the machine has a MCA bus according to info returned
by BIOS (i.e. on machines without MCA bus, biosmca_ps2model would be zero).
biosmca() is expected to be called on beginning the initialization,
and biosmca_ps2model is then used for further checks.
type in biosdiskopen(), and if it is of type FS_RAID, add 64 to d->b_off.
NOTE: installboot(8) still needs some hacking to DTRT, but at least this way
if you can load "/boot" off another partition (e.g, wd0h), then wd0a can be
of type `RAID' with a raidframe mirror at the start and the kernel
will load OK of wd0a, and with raidctl -A root partitions, it will change
root as well.
maps standard boot flags to corresponding RB_* values
use BOOT_FLAG() in port's MD code as appropriate
as discussed on tech-kern, add new boot flags -v, -q for booting
verbosely or quietly, and corresponding AB_VERBOSE/AB_QUIET
boot flags; also add FreeBSD-compatible bootverbose macro and
NetBSD-specific bootquiet macro
for hpcmips, use new bootverbose instead of it's own hpcmips_verbose
Tested on i386, and to limited extend (compile of affected files) also for
mvme68k, hp300, luna68k, sun3.
