06feb69276 * Extend the memory available for the heap from 256k to 512k.
* Embed the stack into the bss section for loader and netboot.  This
  is required for netboot since otherwise the stack would be inside our
  heap.
* Install loader and netboot in /boot by default.
* Fix getbootfile so that it searches for a ',' instead of a ';'
  when terminating the filename.

ed7aeb1bb6 Reclaim the 48k used by the first bootstrap stage by adding it to the malloc
pool.

da6c15d597 Initial attempt to update the Alpha loader and kernel to use the machine
independent elf loader and have access to kld modules.  Jordan and I were
not sure how to create boot floppies, and the things we tried just made
SRM laugh in our faces - but it was upset at boot1 which was not touched
by these changes.  Essentially this has been untested. :-(

What this does is to steal the last three slots from the nine spare longs
in the bootinfo_v1 struct to pass the module base pointer through.

The startup code now to set up and fills in the module and environment
structures, hopefully close enough to the i386 layout to be able to use
the same kernel code.  We now pass though the updated end of the kernel
space used, rather than _end. (like the i386).

If this does not work, it needs to be beaten into shape pronto.  Otherwise
it should be backed out before 3.0.

e24168e6c3 * Add old UFS compatibility code to alpha/boot1.
* Fix a raft of warnings, printf and otherwise.
* Allocate the correct amount in mod_searchmodule to prevent an overflow.
* Fix the makefiles so they work outside my home directory (oops).

2b5cfb37f7 Minor tweaks to track a couple of i386 changes and to make it compile. 1998-08-22 10:31:01 +00:00

c2f9d95de5 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.
