manu 239cf5506d Remove unused extended attributes kernel options As Masao Uebayashi pointed to me, UFS_EXTATTR_AUTOSTART, LFS_EXTATTR_AUTOSTART and UFS_EXTATTR_AUTOCREATE are not used anywhere in the code. Remove them as they have been obsolete for a long time: UFS_EXTATTR_AUTOSTART was replaced by mount -o extattr LFS_EXTATTR_AUTOSTART was created to match obsolete UFS_EXTATTR_AUTOSTART UFS_EXTATTR_AUTOCREATE was replaced by sysctl vfs.ffs.extattr_autocreate		2014-11-16 16:01:39 +00:00

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
