references in the other manpages are updated.
- the version placeholder is now written in lowercase. This prevents the
modification of the sed argument by 'configure'
- install/uninstall commands for the manpages in Makefile.in modified to make
the changes obove work.
- header and footer of the manpages fixed
- pathnames of installed files updated (FHS compatibility)
- "parport1" section in the bochsrc manpage added
- new option "cdrom" in the "boot" section of the bochsrc manpage added
to describe the format of the log prefix. This option can be any string
with special tokens being replaced at run time :
# %t : 11 decimal digits timer tick
# %i : 8 hexadecimal digits of cpu0 current eip
# %e : 1 character event type ('i'nfo, 'd'ebug, 'p'anic, 'e'rror)
# %d : 5 characters string of the device, between brackets
the default is "%t%i%d", so the logprefix is the same as before.
New tokens can be easily added or changed if needed.

in a multiprocessor simulation. Imagine that! Without the patch, there is
just one FPU for all the processors, which is clearly wrong.
See bug [ 461762 ] multiple processors but only one FPU
- new real mode PCI BIOS functions: find device, read/write byte/dword
- C code for PCI BIOS handles errors and prints messages only
- function setPCIaddr() no longer needed
- functions inw() and outw() no longer used by the PCI BIOS
- BIOS32 checksum calculation rewriten to prevent errors
- labels of protected mode PCI BIOS renamed
DMA functions defined. Most of the changes are based on the "bochs sync"
version of plex86. Here is the list of changes:
* register/unregister functions for DMA channels added. The DMA controller
can use the DMA read/write handlers of registered devices directly.
* "hardwired" code in dma.cc removed
* all DMA related code in devices.cc and iodev.h removed
* DMA related code in pc_system.* removed except HRQ handling
* macros for DMA functions defined in bochs.h
* floppy and SB16 code modified to use the changes described above
Linux (kernel 2.2.18) is able to use the new features.
Here is the list of changes:
* BIOS32 data structure added
* BIOS32 and protected mode PCI BIOS functions added. The BIOS32 function
returns a pointer to the PCI BIOS entry point when the service $PCI is
requested and the PCI hardware is present.
* Supported 32 bit functions: installation check, find pci device,
read configuration byte/word/dword, write configuration byte/word/dword
* real mode PCI BIOS installation check rewritten in assembler to use 32 bit
registers for the protected mode entry point and the 'PCI ' signature.
TODO:
* add missing functions of the PCI BIOS (if necessary)
* add missing features of the i440FX PCI bridge
* implement the other parts of the i440FX chipset (PCI-to-ISA bridge,
PCI IDE controller, USB controller)
