This merge changes the device switch tables from static array to dynamically generated by config(8). - All device switches is defined as a constant structure in device drivers. - The new grammer ``device-major'' is introduced to ``files''. device-major <prefix> char <num> [block <num>] [<rules>] - All device major numbers must be listed up in port dependent majors.<arch> by using this grammer. - Added the new naming convention. The name of the device switch must be <prefix>_[bc]devsw for auto-generation of device switch tables. - The backward compatibility of loading block/character device switch by LKM framework is broken. This is necessary to convert from block/character device major to device name in runtime and vice versa. - The restriction to assign device major by LKM is completely removed. We don't need to reserve LKM entries for dynamic loading of device switch. - In compile time, device major numbers list is packed into the kernel and the LKM framework will refer it to assign device major number dynamically. |

$NetBSD: README,v 1.1 2001/05/14 18:22:58 drochner Exp $ This is a port of NetBSD to the FIC8234 VME processor board, made by the swiss company CES (Geneve). These boards are (or have been) popular in high energy physics data acquisition (think of CERN!). See http://www.ces.ch/Products/CPUs/FIC8234/FIC8234.html for some technical data. The highlights: - MC68040 processor at 25 MHz (optional dual-processor) - 8 or 32 MByte RAM - 2 serial ports on Z85c30 - 79c900 (ILACC) ethernet - 53c710 SCSI The port is quite rudimentary at the moment. The kernel is started out of a running OS-9 system. SCSI support is not present yet, so it only works diskless with NFS (or ramdisk - not tested) root. It is good enough for multiuser, self-hosting etc. however. To start it: - make OS image by "objcopy --output-target=binary netbsd <imagename>" - load image to physical address 0x20100000 (RAM start + 1M) - jump to 0x20100400 For questions and contributions, contact Matthias Drochner (drochner@netbsd.org).
