work on a G5 (no BAT registers) or on PearPC (dBAT3 used for mapping
the framebuffer and BATs not re-inited on OpenFirmware calls).
It also hid a number of bugs.
- Move loader relocation up to 0x1C00000. This is in line with OSX bootx,
and allows more space for boot-time modules/ramdisks without conflicting
with OpenFirmware's use of RAM
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.
No objection: ppc
- 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.
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)
