This is the new unified bootstrap, sometimes known previously as the 'three-stage' bootstrap. There are a number of caveats with the code in its current state: - The i386 bootstrap only supports booting from a floppy. - The kernel and kld do not yet know how to deal with the extended information and module summary passed in. - PnP-based autodetection and demand loading of modules is not implemented. - i386 ELF kernel loading is not ready yet. - The i386 bootstrap is loaded via an ugly blockmap. On the alpha, both net- and disk-booting (SRM console machines only) is supported. No blockmaps are used by this code. Obtained from: Parts from the NetBSD/i386 standalone bootstrap.

NOTE ANY CHANGES YOU MAKE TO THE BOOTBLOCKS HERE. The format of this
file is important. Make sure the current version number is on line 6.
- Add 'fwrite' and 'fseek' words for writing to and seeking on files. - Change the 'fopen' keyword to accept a mode parameter. Note that this will break existing 4th scripts that use fopen. Thus, the loader version has been bumped and loader.4th has been changed to check for a sufficient version on i386 and alpha. Be sure that you either do a full world build or install or full build and install of sys/boot after this since loader.old won't work with the new 4th files and vice versa.

1.1: New calling conventions for fopen.
Bump up version as a result of the recent changes to kernel path, and boot-conf&boot semantic changes. Also, make it 1.0. Reminded by: peter (even though he doesn't know it)

1.0: New semantics for finding the kernel, new boot.
Bump loader version due to copyin, copyout, setenv&cia.
2000-06-07 22:12:21 +00:00
0.8: Set/getenv & cia, copyin/out.
Version bump: kvm & dictionary size.
1999-03-17 23:05:46 +00:00
0.7: Supports large KVM
0.6: Increased dictionary size -- supports loader.4th
Bumb up loader's version. Reviewed by: Michael Smith <msmith@freebsd.org>

0.5: First release version
Initial integration of the i386 bootloader and BTX. - Discard large amounts of BIOS-related code in favour of the more compact BTX vm86 interface. - Build the loader module as ELF, although the resulting object is a.out, make gensetdefs 32/64-bit sensitive and use a single copy of it. - Throw away installboot, as it's no longer required. - Use direct bcopy operations in the i386_copy module, as BTX maps the first 16M of memory. Check operations against the detected size of actual memory.
