145b0eb56d Also look for an "elf64 kernel" (for sparc64) and "elf32 kernel" (for
powerpc) when building metadata.

7c6c018c0c Renamed the loader's zipfs to gzipfs. zipfs.c was repo-copied to gzipfs.c. 2002-12-19 19:34:59 +00:00

de0acbf78f Change the device path representation in libofw to use the full firmware
path, instead of an internal i386 specific one.  Don't try to interpret
a disklabel in ofw_disk.c, open the partition's device node directly and
let the firmware do it.  This fixes booting from a partition other than 'a'
on sparc64, which is needed to support more installation methods.

d1bdfb40fd -ffreestanding is the word.
(also resort some CFLAGS such that the more "important" value are first so
they are easier to see)

cae2c81dc2 Mega-patch for OpenFirmware loader support.
- Flesh out ofw_readin routine.
- Add OpenFirmware load and exec routines.
- Make sure memory allocation for the kernel is done correctly.
- Change the way the heap is allocated so as to make it easier to deallocate
  when we hand over.
- Add a command to print memory maps similar to the one for ia64.

With this patch, I can now load and hand over to a kernel on my iMac.  There
are some problems with OpenFirmware routines failing after the hand over that
still need to be addressed.

4cc1860f9b OpenFirmware/PowerPC loader, part 2.
As of this patchset, the loader builds (under NetBSD/macppc), boots, interacts
and talks to BOOTP/NFS servers.

(main.c was moved from boot/ofw/libofw to boot/ofw/common but has no revision
 history)

146a7d5318 "Ok, my loader's now up to putting up a prompt. It probes disks partially
but can't boot from them yet."

Thanks to Stephane Potvin for the some of the code in this set.

801e789e01 Update loader logic to distinguish modules vs. files.
Add support for module metadata. The old way of dependancy
handling will be supported for a while.
