Document the options available for the ata driver.
Disconnect the atapi devices from the old wd driver to avoid conflicts
(they will go away at some point anyways)
continue doing it despite objections by me (the principal author).
Note that this doesn't fix the real problem -- the real problem is generally
bad setup by ignorant users, and education is the right way to fix it.
So while this doesn't actually solve the prolem mentioned in the complaint
(since it's still possible to do it via other methods, although they mostly
involve a bit more complicity), and there are better methods to do this,
nobody was willing or able to provide me with a real world example that
couldn't be worked around using the existing permissions and group
mechanism. And therefore, security by removing features is the method of
the day.
I only had three applications that used it, in any event. One of them would
have made debugging easier, but I still haven't finished it, and won't
now, so it doesn't really matter.

In order to achieve this, root filesystem mount is moved from
SI_ORDER_FIRST to SI_ORDER_SECOND in the SI_SUB_MOUNT_ROOT sysinit
group. Now, modules which wish to usurp the default root mount
can use SI_ORDER_FIRST.
A compiled-in or preloaded MFS filesystem will become the root
filesystem unless the vfs.root.mountfrom environment variable refers
to a valid bootable device. This will normally only be the case when
the kernel and MFS image have been loaded from a disk which has a
valid /etc/fstab file. In this case, the variable should be manually
overridden in the loader, or the kernel booted with -a. In either
case "mfs:" should be supplied as the new value.
Also fix a typo in one DFLTROOT case that would not have compiled.
can deal with from 1GB to 2GB. I have no way to test with >1GB because I
don't have high enough density memory to get any one box over 1GB. However, I
have tested it on xp1000 & ds10 with < 1GB of memory & have verified that it
does no harm.
filesystem is discovered. Preference is given to using the kernel
environment variable vfs.root.mountfrom, which is set by the loader
according to the contents of /etc/fstab. Changes in the MD code
provide fallback mechanisms for systems not using the loader.
A more robust fallback path is also provided, with the last recourse
being to prompt on the console for a root device.
These changes drastically simplify the machine-dependant parts of
the root configuration process. In addition, support for CDROM root
devices has been removed; it was a nasty hack and didn't work.
Mike says the whole idea of a current device was a bad idea in first place,
and will be doing away with currdev.
Anyway, people are not supposed to even notice this. :-)
be ignored by default by the df(1) program. This is used mostly to
avoid stat()-ing entries that do not represent "real" disk mount
points (such as those made by an automounter such as amd.) It is
also useful not to have to stat() these entries because it takes
longer to report them that for other file systems, being that these
mount points are served by a user-level file server and resulting in
several context switches. Worse, if the automounter is down
unexpectedly, a causal df(1) will hang in an interruptible way.

- Rip out all the static softc stuff and do softc allocation the right way.
- Rewrite most of the ISA code so that it provides a DEVICE_IDENTIFY
method to enumerate all non-PnP ISA devices.
This has the following consequences:
- No 'ep' devices may be hardwired.
- All hardwired devices will probably be detected twice.
By hardwired I mean:
device ep0 at isa? port 0x300 irq 10
- 'ep' devices are ordered by bus, slot, and then MAC address.
- Make 3c509B cards work in PnP mode. Yes, they really work.
- Convert over to using ifmedia for media selection. No more of this
lame 'linkX' stuff.
- Consolidate a lot of duplicated code.
- Make a stab at not breaking MII based PCCARD devices.
I doubt that the PCCARD stuff works any more than it did before my
changes but theres hope. My PCCARD hardware should arrive in a
week or so.
- Retreive the media settings from the card EEPROM rather than guessing.
I've got a 3c509-TPO that thinks its got an AUI port and if others
can report similar problems I'll write a bit of clever code that will
fix this but right now it works correctly on all but 1 card.
- Clean up a few things and make some cosmetic changes.
- Add myself as the MAINTAINER since nobody else wants to. I'm
in the best position to do this as I've got an example of most
of the cards:
EISA 3c579 bnc/aui
MCA 3c529 tp/aui
ISA 3c509 tpo
ISA-PnP 3c509B combo
If someone wants to send me a any cards I don't have I'd appriciate
