which is enabled by default (use `-c' to get the old format). The new
format looks like this (only the values are correct; this was taken on my
machine with a slightly old kernel):
Device St Parent Description
---------- -- ---------- --------------------------------------------------
isa0 NC -
sc0 NC isa0 Parallel printer adapter
ed0 NC isa0 SMC8216/SMC8216C
sio0 NC isa0 RS-232 serial port
sio1 NC isa0 RS-232 serial port
fdc0 NC isa0 floppy disk/tape controller
fd0 NC fdc0 floppy disk
wdc0 NC isa0 ST506/ESDI/IDE disk controller
wd0 NC wdc0 ST506/ESDI/IDE disk
npx0 NC isa0 Floating-point unit
Note that many of these fields could be made more informative; I tried to make
my changes as unintrusive as possible. See the `mcd' driver for an example
of one which actually does something with the `state' field.
and all SCSI devices (except that it's not done quite the way I want). New
information added includes:
- A text description of the device
- A ``state''---unknown, unconfigured, idle, or busy
- A generic parent device (with support in the m.i. code)
- An interrupt mask type field (which will hopefully go away) so that
. ``doconfig'' can be written
This requires a new version of the `lsdev' program as well (next commit).
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).
