The ``flags 1'' in the fdc line is now only needed for owners of an
Insight tape (perhaps there aren't any? Mine is disfunctional). All
other probes are safe wrt. to the motor-control line of floppy disk
drives. Document the flag in LINT finally.
For those where it was easy, drivers were also fixed to call
dev_attach() during probe rather than attach (in keeping with the
new design articulated in a mail message five months ago). For
a few that were really easy, correct state tracking was added as well.
The `fd' driver was fixed to correctly fill in the description.
The CPU identify code was fixed to attach a `cpu' device. The code
was also massively reordered to fill in cpu_model with somethingremotely
resembling what identifycpu() prints out. A few bytes saved by using
%b to format the features list rather than lots of ifs.

Three people have reported that this fixes the problem they are having.

Report floppy/tape units on seperate lines as fdX:/ftX: to correct lots of
ways the current scheme failed to end the output with \n.
Add controller and/or drive designator to the fron of several messages
that come from this drive. [It's not fun to track down driver messages
using grep over the source tree.]

>Description:
If a process attempts to open a floppy tape device when the
device has been configured in the kernel, but did not probe and attach
on bootup, then a panic will occur.
[Review: The current ft situation is a crock, and this only bandaids
an earlier wound inflicted by making the attach conditional. This urgently
requires a review]

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

This requires a new version of the `lsdev' program as well (next commit).
Added a missing #ifdef INET wrapper in lpt.c
Main change:
Removed the timeout_func_t casts from timeout calls and
correctly defined the timeout routines to conform to
the new format.
lpt.c doesn't have this change.

``changes'' are actually not changes at all, but CVS sometimes has trouble
telling the difference.
This also includes support for second-directory compiles. This is not
quite complete yet, as `config' doesn't yet do the right thing. You can
still make it work trivially, however, by doing the following:
rm /sys/compile
mkdir /usr/obj/sys/compile
ln -s M-. /sys/compile
cd /sys/i386/conf
config MYKERNEL
cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL
ln -s /sys @
rm machine

Subject: Bug Fix for ft.c - please commit
Date: Mon, 14 Feb 94 10:22:54 CST
This fixes a bug where the system can crash if the tape is used
after the floppy has been used.
