Kill duplicates for programs that have been in the boot crunched image
as well as on the fixit floppy (pwd, newfs, hostname, test). Our
space is really too valuable to have them around there twice. I doubt
pwd needs to be there at all since it's a builtin into sh(1) anyway
(oh, and the same applies to test(1) IIRC), but heck, leave them by
now.
Use the new `fixit' target in MAKEDEV to create the /dev nodes on
the floppy, instead of including the kitchensink...
Finally, tune the values used for creating the floppy. I currently
end up with
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity iused ifree %iused
/dev/vnn0c 1363 1301 -47 104% 368 14 96%
...which is not quite ideal yet, but at least a working configuration
again.
as redoing all the menus to have proper, or at least non-hallucinogenic,
keyboard accelerators.
This requires my recent update to libdialog to work properly and will
probably also exhibit some other "interesting" behavior while the last
few missing screen clears are found (which is why I'm not going to MFC
immediately). At least now, however, sysinstall does not gratuitously
redraw random screens at the drop of a hat and drive serial console
installers out of their minds.
using make instead of custom scripts) and two floppies instead of
one. The resultant floppy can do everything that the individual
floppies (dial, net, install, isp, router) could do, modulo some bit
rot that has occurred since PicoBSD last compiled. It also includes
all the programs on the fixit floppy, which could thus also die.
/bin currently contains the following files:
-sh dump ln ns sps
[ ed login ping stty
badsect ex ls ps swapon
cat expr mkdir pwd sync
chgrp fdisk mknod pwd_mkdb sysctl

chown fsck mount reboot tar

dmesg kill nfs sleep
Structure is in place for using the same build for the other
directories, but I'm no longer sure we need this. The current first
floppy will run fine by itself, but the size of a compressed kernel
has increased by nearly 50% since 3.2, and there's not much space for
anything useful on the remainder of the floppy. The current method
creates a larger mfs and can read as many floppies as the user can
stand. The footprint appears to be round 14 MB.

which it replaces. The new driver supports all of the chips supported
by the ones it replaces, as well as many DEC/Intel 21143 10/100 cards.
This also completes my quest to convert things to miibus and add
Alpha support.
mention of the various devices that are supported.
Add some text and entry to LINT for 'controller mca0'.
I'd like to turn this option on in GENERIC as well as it
isn't impacting and has a small footprint.
- Add AMI and Mylex RAID controllers
- Reflect the demise of the 'eg' and 'ft' drivers
- Various minor cleanups
- Add some initial Microchannel information (this could do with some
fleshing out)
slice, partition, newfs, and install FreeBSD from a tarball on a remote server.
Handy for doing mass-installs for server farms.
Documentation following shortly.
for the AN985 "Centaur" chip, which is apparently the next genetation
of the "Comet." The AN985 is also a tulip clone and is similar to the
AL981 except that it uses a 99C66 EEPROM and a serial MII interface
(instead of direct access to the PHY registers).
Also updated various documentation to mention the AN985 and created
a loadable module.
I don't think there are any cards that use this chip on the market yet:
the datasheet I got from ADMtek has boxes with big X's in them where the
diagrams should be, and the sample boards I got have chips without any
artwork on them.
made only the most superficial changes so far to HARDWARE.TXT and
eliminated the stuff I absolutely knew didn't work. That still leaves
a lot of work to do and this is mostly just a place-holder for now.
the Davicom DM9100 and DM9102 chipsets, including the Jaton Corporation
XPressNet. Datasheet is available from www.davicom8.com.
The DM910x chips are still more tulip clones. The API is reproduced
pretty faithfully, unfortunately the performance is pretty bad. The
transmitter seems to have a lot of problems DMAing multi-fragment
packets. The only way to make it work reliably is to coalesce transmitted
packets into a single contiguous buffer. The Linux driver (written by
Davicom) actually does something similar to this. I can't recomment this
NIC as anything more than a "connectivity solution."
This driver uses newbus and miibus and is supported on both i386
and alpha platforms.
SiS 900 and SiS 7016 PCI fast ethernet chipsets. Full manuals for the
SiS chips can be found at www.sis.com.tw.
This is a fairly simple chipset. The receiver uses a 128-bit multicast
hash table and single perfect entry for the station address. Transmit and
receive DMA and FIFO thresholds are easily tuneable. Documentation is
pretty decent and performance is not bad, even on my crufty 486. This
driver uses newbus and miibus and is supported on both the i386 and
alpha architectures.
I backed-out the changes in -current and didn't touch stable at all (I
thought I had my patch order reversed, not what actually happened).
AIEEE! I can't even blame the crack for this one since I broke my
crack pipe a few weeks ago. I think sleep deprivation gets the blame
for this one.
