to be no ill effects, and so far as Iknow none of the variables in
question depend on 16-bit wraparound behavior. (The sizes are in
many cases relics from when a PCB had to fit inside a 128-byte mbuf. PCBs
are no longer stored in that way, and the old structure would not have
fit, either.)
it was referenced from.. stops a rather annoying panic, but
introduces a rather interesting but "I can live with it" bug
`ln a b ; mv a b; echo ?`
returns a rather than b..
I know why but I need to think of the 'correct' answer. at least this is 'safe'
methods. This should make the process rather more robust in the face
of entropy.
o Let tape cpio extract guess type of tape format.
o Hide cursor better in options screen.
Don't gratuitously shutdown network after NFS or FTP install.
Centralize release version string to one location included by everyone.
Bring in new options screen.

1. stepping over syscalls (gdb ni) sends you to DDB, and returned
to the wrong address afterwards, with or without DDB. patch in
i386/i386/trap.c below.
2. the linux emulator (modload'ed) still causes panics with DIAGNOSTIC,
re-applied a patch posted to one of the lists...
for testing.. (for cdevsw_add and bdevsw_add)
make the lkm code use the new generic devsw add routines (if so required)
define these routines in conf.h so we can use them
This is really just a token gesture at this point. We can't really turn
on swapping here anymore because (I think) we need to do a namei() lookup
in order to get a vnode which we can pass to swaponvp(). But to do a
namei(), we need a properly initialized proc structure, and we don't
have one. (I was hopping to toss it proc0, but that isn't initialized
until later.) We could conceiveably fabricate a dummy proc structure
to make namei() happy, but that's too much work for too little payoff.
For now, swapgeneric's only remaining saving grace is that it lets
you set the root device with -a.
example without optios would create floppies that waste half of their
space in i-node areas. :) (Comment only)
Add a sample entry for a Sony 650 MB MOD.
This is a place for all things to do with conf.c and conf.h
that are not machine specific.
Other things that are at present in i386/isa/conf.c might
migrate into here..
It's the first small step in cleaning up the device interface
to make it more dynamic and to assist in more modular drivers
(i.e. both loadable via LKMs and linked in..
e.g able to add a device without having to edit conf.c)
this code is not yet used and the whole thing will be conditionally
compiled in for a while till proven useful :)
matching IP options..Check and test this - i made only a couple
of rough tests and this could be buggy.. Ipaccounting can't use
IP Options (and i don't see any need to cound packets with specific
options either..)
More to come...
