We had to give up DDB and grep this time...
Add a hint in "config" on how to increase the image size so
we can stuff more things in the image (mostly for use on a CDROM).
and disable telnet and friends in favour of ssh/sshd/scp.
Pull out a few NIC drivers from the config file to make the
image fit into a 1.44 image again. I have left "lnc" in as that is
emulated by vmware so this can be booted there.
Make sure hints are statically compiled into the kernel,
because the bootloader is not available in picobsd and so the
hints file cannot be found at run time.
(This is kind of inconvenient if you have to handle non PnP devices,
but fortunately these days non-PnP ISA cards are disappearing...)
Peter's new format, and I'd added hints files for each.
The build process uses the PICOBSD.hints file as well as the config,
and additionally builds with -DNO_MODULES. The build process
probably needs to be converted to use the 'buildkernel' method
instead of running config itself.
The kernels now compile. I've not been able to test the crunch
process however because it used the vn driver and there are no
/dev/vn device nodes under devfs yet. Maybe someone else could
give it a go.
. Bring PicoBSD up to date with -CURRENT reality.
. Make PicoBSD smart and not spam /dev/vn0 and /mnt. Now it uses the first
unused vn device and creates a temporary mountpoint in /tmp.
. Miscellaneous build cleanups and optimizations.
Unfortunately the bridge, isp, and router floppies are too big and need
the axe treatment. The install floppy needs updating to -CURRENT. Dial and
net build and (appear to) run OK. I will be adressing these in the
near future (unless someone beats me to it :-) ).
