* Make S expand to an absolute path at compile time.
* Use `-S' rather than `-x' to remove debugging symbols.
* Garbage collect unused variables.
* Reverse a handful of port-specific changes that do not correspond to
the common build model and are not needed.
a boot string for firmware that can do this, such as the SPARC and
the sun3 models. It is currently silently ignored on all other
hardware now, however. The MD function "boot()" has been changed to
also take a char *.
- Good bye SYS_PBOOT and SYS_NBOOT, hello SYS_UBOOT (unified boot)
Currently supports booting from SCSI and HP-IB disk and network
from a single boot block. Infrastructure for booting from
HP-IB tape is there, but it doesn't quite work yet.
- Add a slightly modified version of Gordon Ross's "rawfs",
which provides a filesystem-like interface to tape devices.
Still needs debugging (see above).
- Rename sys_inst.c to inst.c, so that the LIF directory entry
turns out right (used to look like SYS_SYS_I if loaded from
tape).
- Add a "netio_ask" hint to netio.c, so that a special instnetio.o
doesn't have to be compiled for SYS_INST. Defaults to using
bootparams, but if set, will prompt user for information
usually obtained from bootparams.
- General cleanup.
- New delay() function, modeled after sun3/mvme68k delay,
calibrated with a model's known cpu speed.
- Use the defined constants for machineid and ectype
when determining what kind of machine we have, rather
than their expanded equivalents, for clarity.
- Move the vector table to the data segment so that it
can be patched at run-time.
naming conflicts between bus attachments on ports that can have
multiple instances of the LANCE.
Changed struct ifnet to have a pointer to the softc of the underlying
device and a printable "external name" (name + unit number), thus eliminating
if_name and if_unit. Updated interface to (*if_watchdog)() and (*if_start)()
to take a struct ifnet *, rather than a unit number.
remove their 'integrate' (usually defined to be 'static') keywords.
when lance drivers are split up by attachment, more than one file will
reference the copy/zero functions (i.e. not just the file that pulls in
am7990.c... and eventually inclusion of am7990.c should go away entirely).
