a boot option. When the timer expires the machine is rebooted. Disable the watchdog timer for 2 reasons: o We're an interactive program. We cannot guarantee that we've booted the kernel in the time available to us. There have been situations where netbooting the right kernel took 2 tries and more time than given. Not to speak of the normal behaviour to have the loader sitting at the prompt while the user is off doing other things (such as figuring out what to type next ;-) o We may not boot a kernel at all. We may exit as the result of the user typing quit (assuming it took less than 5 minutes to type it :-). It is documented that loaders should have disabled the watchdog timer if they return to the boot manager. Not doing so would cause a reboot while in the boot manager. This appears to be harmless, besides of course the actual reboot. Approved by: re (weisse karte) |

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.
