The whole problem seems to be size. Which is odd, because it is said
that size doesn't matter. Anyway... Add -Os to strategic places in the
makefile to have the final loader be as mall as possible. This seems
to be enough to make it work. For now... I think something is more
fundamentally wrong; or something more fundamental is wrong. Potato,
potaato.
to reinstall boot1 after a 'make world'.
Unfortunately this means that people who have already installed a new
boot1 from a 'make world' after 2000/09/18 *must* reinstall it after
their next build using something like:
# disklabel -B /dev/da0c
* Embed the stack into the bss section for loader and netboot. This
is required for netboot since otherwise the stack would be inside our
heap.
* Install loader and netboot in /boot by default.
* Fix getbootfile so that it searches for a ',' instead of a ';'
when terminating the filename.
* Fix a raft of warnings, printf and otherwise.
* Allocate the correct amount in mod_searchmodule to prevent an overflow.
* Fix the makefiles so they work outside my home directory (oops).
'three-stage' bootstrap.
There are a number of caveats with the code in its current state:
- The i386 bootstrap only supports booting from a floppy.
- The kernel and kld do not yet know how to deal with the extended
information and module summary passed in.
- PnP-based autodetection and demand loading of modules is not implemented.
- i386 ELF kernel loading is not ready yet.
- The i386 bootstrap is loaded via an ugly blockmap.
On the alpha, both net- and disk-booting (SRM console machines only) is
supported. No blockmaps are used by this code.
Obtained from: Parts from the NetBSD/i386 standalone bootstrap.
