# $FreeBSD$
First cut at support for booting a GPT labeled disk via the BIOS bootstrap on i386 and amd64 machines. The overall process is that /boot/pmbr lives in the PMBR (similar to /boot/mbr for MBR disks) and is responsible for locating and loading /boot/gptboot. /boot/gptboot is similar to /boot/boot except that it groks GPT rather than MBR + bsdlabel. Unlike /boot/boot, /boot/gptboot lives in its own dedicated GPT partition with a new "FreeBSD boot" type. This partition does not have a fixed size in that /boot/pmbr will load the entire partition into the lower 640k. However, it is limited in that it can only be 545k. That's still a lot better than the current 7.5k limit for boot2 on MBR. gptboot mostly acts just like boot2 in that it reads /boot.config and loads up /boot/loader. Some more details: - Include uuid_equal() and uuid_is_nil() in libstand. - Add a new 'boot' command to gpt(8) which makes a GPT disk bootable using /boot/pmbr and /boot/gptboot. Note that the disk must have some free space for the boot partition. - This required exposing the backend of the 'add' function as a gpt_add_part() function to the rest of gpt(8). 'boot' uses this to create a boot partition if needed. - Don't cripple cgbase() in the UFS boot code for /boot/gptboot so that it can handle a filesystem > 1.5 TB. - /boot/gptboot has a simple loader (gptldr) that doesn't do any I/O unlike boot1 since /boot/pmbr loads all of gptboot up front. The C portion of gptboot (gptboot.c) has been repocopied from boot2.c. The primary changes are to parse the GPT to find a root filesystem and to use 64-bit disk addresses. Currently gptboot assumes that the first UFS partition on the disk is the / filesystem, but this algorithm will likely be improved in the future. - Teach the biosdisk driver in /boot/loader to understand GPT tables. GPT partitions are identified as 'disk0pX:' (e.g. disk0p2:) which is similar to the /dev names the kernel uses (e.g. /dev/ad0p2). - Add a new "freebsd-boot" alias to g_part() for the new boot UUID.

Mega i386 loader commit. - Don't hard code 0x10000 as the entry point for the loader. Instead add src/sys/boot/i386/Makefile.inc which defines a make variable with the entry point for the loader. Move the loader's entry point up to 0x20000, which makes PXE happy. - Don't try to use cpp to parse btxldr for the optional BTXLDR_VERBOSE, instead use m4 to achieve this. Also, add a BTXLDR_VERBOSE knob in the btxldr Makefile to turn this option on. - Redo parts of cdldr's Makefile so that it now builds and installs cdboot instead of having i386/loader/Makefile do that. Also, add in some more variables to make the pxeldr Makefile almost identical and thus to ease maintainability. - Teach cdldr about the a.out format. Cdldr now parsers the a.out header of the loader binary and relocates it based on that. The entry point of the loader no longer has to be hardcoded into cdldr. Also, the boot info table from mkisofs is no longer required to get a useful cdboot. - Update the lsdev function for BIOS disks to parse other file systems (such as DOS FAT) that we currently support. This is still buggy as it assumes that a floppy with a DOS boot sector actually has a MBR and parses it as such. I'll be fixing this in the future. - The biggie: Add in support for booting off of PXE-enabled network adapters. Currently, we use the TFTP API provided by the PXE BIOS. Eventually we will switch to using the low-level NIC driver thus allowing both TFTP and NFS to be used, but for now it's just TFTP.
