values for syncronous negotiation. The 284x series adaptors can now be
supported without the Bios being enabled. If you disable the Bios on the
274x series adaptors, all configuration parameters revert to the default
since there is no way to retrieve them.
You can now sling 14 devices off of a 274xT. In the process of adding
twin channel support, I removed all evident restrictions on supporting
Wide channeled devices, but I do not have a Wide controller to test them
on.
aic7770_seq.h, the pre-compiled header, is no longer needed since config
handles this dependancy.
- /sys/i386/i386/swapgeneric.c is just plain broke. But fear not, for I
have unbroken it. One thing that swapgeneric.c does is walk through the
list of configured devices searching for a boot device. The only easy
way to accomplish this in 2.0 is to use Garret Wollman's kern_devconf
stuff. *BUT*, the head of the kern_devconf linked list (dc_list) is declared
static in /sys/kern/kern_devconf.c. This means that swapgeneric.c can't
see it at link time. I had to remove the 'static' keyword to get around
this little problem. I hope this doesn't break anything anywhere.
*Furthermore,* there's a small matter of making the call to setconf()
in swapgeneric.c disappear when 'config kernel swap generic' isn't used.
You could change /sbin/config to create a dummy setconf() function in
swapkernel.c, but that seems messy somehow. (It's also someting of an
'it isn't broken, why are you fixing it' situation.) My solution was to
do what the NetBSD people did and put an #ifdef GENERIC around the call
to setconf(). If your kernel is called GENERIC or you define 'options
GENERIC,' then you can use 'config kernel swap generic' and it'll work.
That aside, the upshot is that: a) swapgeneric.c actually works, and
and b) the -a boot flag now works as well. If you boot with -a, as in
"Boot: wd(0,a)/kernel -a" you will be presented with a 'root device?'
prompt after the autoconfig phase, at which point you can specify what
device you want mounted as root. Regrettably, you can't specify an NFS
filesystem. Yet. Three files are affected: /sys/i386/i386/swapgeneric.c,
/sys/i386/i386/autoconf.c and /sys/kern/kern_devconf.c.

- /sys/i386/isa/if_ed.c doesn't quite know how to deal with SMC EtherEZ
ethernet cards. The EtherEZ looks just like the Elite Ultra, except it
has only 8K of shared memory. The only way to have it properly detected
is to zero and test a few bytes of memory just about the first 8K region.
If it clears properly, it's an Elite Ultra, otherwise it's an EtherEZ.
I've also got an EtherEZ patch for netboot (Makefile, ether.c and ether.h).
- /sys/i386/isa/syscons.c wraps at the next to the last column rather than
the last column, like it should. You don't really notice this unless you
use certain programs that write all the way out to, say, the 80th column,
like VMSmail. Along with a one-line fix for this are some changes to
implement a non-blinking cursor. Put 'options "NOBLINK_CURSOR"' in your
config file and give it a try. :)

Would you please commit this two-line patch to /sys/i386/isa/b004.c
(the Transputer driver) so that it at least compiles under 2.x
Haven't tried if the driver is working properly, but a kernel with
compiled-in driver has been running for two days now with no apparent
problems.

This is new version of Seagate ST01/02, Future Domain TMC-885, TMC-950
SCSI driver for FreeBSD. I started from the 2.0R version and mostly
rewrote it. New features are:
1) New probe algorithm. Old driver read the BIOS region of the adapter
memory and find the copyright string. The problem was in the BIOS itself:
it conflicted with IDE disks. The solution was to unplug it and
make the probe algorithm to work without it.
2) Proper timeout handling in numerous places where the driver
polls waiting for some event.
3) Assembler flagments added in critical places, mostly for data transfer
to of from the target. It was possible to make it faster,
but at the price of decreasing reliability.
4) Target-dependent delays when waiting for REQ deassert event.
Some devices seem to be slower (CD-ROMS, some tape drives),
and some seem to be too fast (disks). The driver tests the REQ
deassert timeout for each target and then uses it for polling.
5) Device flags added for SCSI parity control and sense request
priority control.
6) Generic cleanup, after which the driver became much more readable
(at least by me:).
7) Target data parity error logging is limited to avoid log file overflow.
8) Manual page added.

Move definition of `stat_imask' to clock.c.
clock.c:
Rename `rtcmask' to `stat_imask' and export it. Rename `clkmask' to
`clk_imask' for consistency.
Only calculate TIMER_DIV(hz) once.
Merge debugging and "garbage" code to produce debugging code and format the
output better.
Make writertc() static inline and use it everywhere. Now all accesses to
the clock registers go through rtcin() and writertc().
Move rtc initialization to cpu_initclocks().
Merge enablertclock() with cpu_initclocks() and remove enablertclock().
The extra entry point was just a leftover from 1.1.5.
timestamps for an atomic operation such as rename() on a local file
system to be identical.
Uniformize yet another idempotency ifdef. The comment nesting was
bogus.
of attributes so that `cp -p' to an msdos file system can succeed under
favourable circumstances (no uid or gid changes and no nonzero flags
except SF_ARCHIVED).
msdosfs_vnops.c:
The in-core inode flags were confused with the on-disk inode flags, so
chflags() clobbered the lock flag and caused a panic.
denode.h, msdosfs_denode.c, msdosfs_vnops.c:
Support the msdosfs archive attibute (ATTR_ARCHIVE) by mapping it to
the complement of the SF_ARCHIVED flag and setting the ATTR_ARCHIVE
bit when a file's modification time is set (but not when a file's
permissions are set; this is the standard wrong DOS behaviour).
denode.h, msdosfs_denode.c:
Remove the DE_UPDAT() macro. It was only used once, and the corresponding
macro in ufs has already been removed.
denode.h:
Don't change the timestamp for directories in DE_TIMES() (be consistent
with deupdat()).
msdosfs_vnops.c:
Handle chown() better: return EPERM instead of EINVAL if there are
insufficient permissions; otherwise, allow null changes.
for wd (they both count the number of sectors). The wpms stat is still
moderately bogus for all drivers. Even the count stat could be handled
better (partial blocks should be counted as full blocks; should errors
and retries be counted?).
Fix single-stepping of emulated FPU instructions.
Don't panic if an FPU instruction is attempted but there is no FPU
and no FPU emulator is configured.
