requires minimal care and feeding for future releases. - Consolidate multitude of floppy related constants down to a normal FLOPPY set for 1.44 floppies and on PC98 a SMALLFLOPPY set for 1.2 floppies. Also, cleanup the i386 arch section by not duplicating constants that are the same on both machine types (i386 and pc98). - Update the ZIPNSPLIT macro to generate a file chunks that will actually fit onto 1.44 floppies formatted with UFS1. Unfortunately, split(1) seems to be somewhat buggy, so the files generated are slightly larger than the argument passed to split. - Split the release.10 target into 3 targers: floppies.1, floppies.2 and floppies.3 that are added to EXTRAS only if NOFLOPPIES is defined. floppies.1 builds the install floppies, floppies.2 builds the fixit floppy, and floppies.3 generates the md5 sums and READMEs for the floppies/ directory. - Drop the by now largely obsolete and less useful boot.flp picture. This was more useful when the mfsroot lived inside the kernel rather than being loaded from a separate file by the loader. - Only build a single mfsroot containing no modules that is used for all installation methods. - Use split-file.sh to split up a gzipped GENERIC kernel into however many floppies it takes for the boot kernel. Currently, a stock 5.2 GENERIC kernel including WITNESS, INVARIANTS, DDB, and other assorted bloat fits onto 2 additional floppies besides the boot floppy with some room to spare. - If SPLIT_MFSROOT is defined, the mfsroot.gz file is similar split into however many floppies are needed. Currently it is not defined as the mfsroot.gz fits onto the current boot.flp with room to spare. - Add a 'makeFloppySet' target which builds a floppy set for a file that was split using split-file.sh. - Rename the doMFSKERN target to 'buildBootFloppy' as that more closely matches what it does now. We no longer build a custom BOOTMFS kernel for each boot floppy. - We no longer build a 2.88 boot.flp image to use with emulated CD booting. The non-emulated cdboot works for almost everyone who boots off of CD and if it doesn't work on a particular machine, the user can always boot from the 1.44 floppy images. - We no longer build a driver floppy or stick kernel modules in the mfsroot since we now use a stock kernel when booting from floppy. |

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
