boot: NetBSD/bebox booter.
elf2pef: Convert ELF image to PEF image.
mkbootimage: Make bootable BeOS DR8 filesystem(a.k.a. obfs) image.
boot:
enable one line and comment out other lines,
to select one console device from vga,frame buffer,serial.
vga: CPPFLAGS+= -DCONS_VGA
e.g. S3 Trio64, ...
frame buffer: CPPFLAGS+= -DCONS_BE
e.g. Trio64v+, Millennium I/II, Mystique 220, ...
serial: CPPFLAGS+= -DCONS_SERIAL ...
if change CPPFLAGS after make, use 'make remake' to remake.
boot can read/exec kernel on ffs(floppy disk),cd9660(floppy disk),
attached image by elf2pef.
elf2pef:
to convert
elf2pef boot boot.pef
if you want to attach kernel file into booter,
elf2pef boot boot.pef netbsd
of course can attach gzipped kernel file
elf2pef boot boot.pef netbsd.gz
mkbootimage:
to make bootable floppy disk image
mkbootimage boot.pef image
or, to make direct bootable floppy
mkbootimage boot.pef > /dev/rfd0a
Example of making bootable floppy disk:
% cd /sys/arch/bebox/stand
% make
cross compile environment:
do the following method instead of make,
% (cd boot; ppc-make)
% (cd elf2pef; make)
% (cd mkbootimage; make)
% elf2pef/elf2pef boot/boot /tmp/boot.pef
to attach kernel:
% gzip -c ../compile/GENERIC/netbsd > /tmp/netbsd.gz
% elf2pef/elf2pef boot/boot /tmp/boot.pef /tmp/netbsd.gz
[insert formatted floppy disk]
% mkbootimage/mkbootimage /tmp/boot.pef > /dev/rfd0a
