explanation. More doc needed, but not hard to do, if you want to.
A big hand to Martin Renters for the netboot program !
Anybody want to compete on who can "make world" in the shortest
amount of time ? I have 127 i486DX2/66 and 5 P60's I can use
now. And 3 times 66 Gb file servers to support it... :->
Anyway, NFS will be standard in the GENERIC kernel now, so that
people can use the bin-tarball to set up shop.
Print out summary information on receipt of SIGINFO; also, stop the
kernel printing of information and restore it on exit. Now, it needs
an option to be quiet. ;)
A word of wisdom, don't do this:
| cd /usr/bin
| for i in *
| do
| cp $i /tmp/a
| gzip -9 < /tmp/a > $i
| done
It will compress files with multiple links several times. do it this way:
| cd /usr/bin
| for i in *
| do
| gunzip -f < $i > /tmp/a
| gzip -9 < /tmp/a > $i
| done
This is part of a bug fix from Kirk McKusick to work around problems in FFS
related to the blkno of a 64bit offset not fitting into an int. Note the
proper solution would be to deal with 64bit block numbers, but doing this
would require sweeping changes; some other day perhaps.

that this is intended for use only in floppy situations and is done at
the sacrifice of performance in that case (in ther words, this is not the
best solution, but works okay for this exceptional situation).

One of the alpha testers (ETO, Toshihisa <eto@osl.fujitsu.co.jp>)
of my APM driver sent me a very small patch to if_ze.c for using IBM
PCMCIA Ethernet card II. There are only a few difference between
Ethernet card I and II. So we can use them both with this patch. It
also includes a patch for PCIC of ThinkPad 230Cs (As long as I
remember, this model is available in Japan only. But it is very
popular subnote in Japan).

All the mbr code now seems to be working. We can build a basic
unix disklabel in any existing DOS partition while retaining the
existing mbr bootcode or we can install to the whole disk which
puts FreeBSD's boot code into the MBR and creates a clean MBR
partition table with FreeBSD in partition 0 taking up the whole disk.
so i hope i've finally removed all the occasions where the driver
got stuck when there's no floppy in the drive.
Also attemmpting to omit the error mesage for ``recalib failed''
for the first time, since people tend to be confused about this.
