playing around with the segment registers to return to real mode. This is
helpful if the kernel causes a fatal exception before it has setup its own
IDT and fault handlers. For example, if one happens to break mtx_init().
Without these changes BTX would recursively page fault (if paging was not
disabled) or triple fault and reset the CPU (without the GDT reload)
instead of providing a potentially useful register dump.

Previous revision of this file changed the "boot" commands to take
no arguments from the stack. This is only valid in the case where
a kernel has not been loaded. In that case, load_kernel_and_modules

When a kernel is presently loaded, though, the list of arguments must
be passed to the boot command, which was the behaviour before the last
revision.

The boot-conf and boot code had various bugs, and some of it was big,
ugly, unwieldy, and, sometimes, plain incorrect. I'm just about
completely replaced these ugly parts with something much more manageable.
Minor changes were made to the well-factorized parts of it, to accomodate
the new code.
Of note:
* make sure boot-conf has the exact same behavior wrt boot order
as start.
* Correct both boot and boot-conf so they'll work correctly when
compiled in, as they both had some bugs, minor and major.
* Remove all the crud from loader.4th back into support.4th, for
the first time since boot-conf was first improved. Hurray!
I'm fairly satisfied with the code at this time. Time to see about those
man pages...
to make things more interchangeable between it and the FORTH case.
Perhaps requiring the space is a bit too much, but...

as the kernel name. The one very unfortunate consequence is that kernel
as an absolute path loses the priority. It will only be tried after
/boot/${kernel}/${bootfile}. I'll see what can be done about it later.
Load the first of the following kernels to be found:
${kernel} if ${kernel} is an absolute path
/boot/${kernel}/${kernel}
/boot/${kernel}/${bootfile}
${kernel}/${kernel}
${kernel}/${bootfile}
${kernel}
${bootfile}
The last instance of ${kernel} and ${bootfile} will be treated as a
list of semicolon separated file names, and each will be tried in turn,
from left to right.
Also, for each filename loader(8) will try filename, filename.ko,
filename.gz, filename.ko.gz, in that order, but that's not related
to this code.
This resulted in a major reorganization of the code, and much of what
was accumulating on loader.4th was rightly transfered to support.4th.
The semantics of boot-conf and boot also changed. Both will try to load
a kernel the same as above.
After a kernel was loaded, the variable module_path may get changed. Such
change will happen if the kernel was found with a directory prefix. In
that case, the module path will be set to ${directory};${module_path}.
Next, the modules are loaded as usual.
This is intended so kernel="xyzzy" in /boot/loader.conf will load
/boot/xyzzy/kernel.ko, load system modules from /boot/xyzzy/, and
load third party modules from /boot/modules or /modules. If that doesn't
work, it's a bug.
Also, fix a breakage of "boot" which was recently introduced. Boot without
any arguments would fail. No longer. Also, boot will only unload/reload
if the first argument is a path. If no argument exists or the first
argument is a flag, boot will use whatever is already loaded. I hope this
is POLA. That behavior is markedly different from that of boot-conf, which
will always unload/reload.
The semantics introduced here are experimental. Even if the code works,
we might decide this is not the prefered behavior. If you feel so, send
your feedback. (Yeah, this belongs in a HEADS UP or something, but I've
been working for the past 16 hours on this stuff, so gimme a break.)
Now boot-conf can also receive parameters to be passed to the kernel
being booted. The syntax is the same as in the boot command, so one
boots /kernel.OLD in single-user mode by typing:
boot-conf /kernel.OLD -s instead of
boot-conf -s /kernel.OLD
The syntax still supports use of directory instead of file name, so
boot-conf kernel.OLD -s
may be used to boot /boot/kernel.OLD/kernel.ko in single-user mode.
Notice that if one passes a flag to boot-conf, it will override the
flags set in .conf files, but only for that invocation. If the user
aborts the countdown and tries again without passing any flags, the
flags set in .conf files will be used.
Some factorization was done in the process of enhancing boot-conf,
as it has been growing steadly as features are getting added, becoming
too big for a Forth word. It still could do with more factorization,
as a matter of fact.
Override the builtin "boot" with something based on boot-conf. It will
behave exactly like boot-conf, but booting directly instead of going
through autoboot.
Since we are now pairing kernel and module set in the same directory,
this change to boot makes sense.
load the modules needed according to a file relating module names
(actually, _file_ names, not really modules -- the dependency

But it still lacks a number of desired features, and it's too crude
for my tastes. But since I don't have time to work on it, it might
be preferable to make it available to those who might. It's not

such. Remove the need to a lot of ugly initialization.
Also, add a few structure definitions, from stuff used on the C
part of loader. Some of this will disappear, and the crude structure

getting increasingly inconvenient to keep this separate on my tree,
and I already lost lots of work once because of the hurdles, so

Anyway, it makes support.4th more structured, and I'm not proceeding

when a kernel is loaded. For this reason, autoboot will _first_ try
to load a kernel, and only proceed with the wait prompt after that
succeeds. If it fails, it will abort immediately.
While I understand some may think this behavior undesirable, I think
it is, overall, the best thing to do, even if we do not consider the
aesthetic issue. Notice that anyone using the default loader.rc
already has the kernel loaded before autoboot.
On unload, unset kernelname.

to 0x600 via a 'rep movsw'. Once that was done, %cx was zero, so we could
simply use 'movb' to update the lower byte of %cx in preparation for
zeroing out the fake partition entry used to boot to other drives via F5.
Well, in the new boot0, we don't actually relocate ourselves, instead it
is easier to create the fake partition entry first and then just use it to
get the BIOS to load all of boot0 into memory at 0x600. However, since we
aren't doing the relocate code anymore, we don't know that %cx == 0 when
we hit the 'movb' to setup %cx for clearning the fake partition entry.
Thus, if %ch != 0 when the BIOS started boot0, then it would end up zeroing
a lot more memory than just 8 words. The solution is to do a word move of
$8 into %cx.

FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.8

Loader version 0.3+ required
Aborted!

Note that the 0.3+ message is from inside the arch-alpha block, not the

This prevents the rest of the loader.conf stuff working. :-/
Use Warner Losh's "hint" driver to decode ascii strings to fill the
resource table at boot time.
config(8) no longer generates an ioconf.c table - ie: the configuration
no longer has to be compiled into the kernel. You can reconfigure your
isa devices with the likes of this at loader(8) time:
set hint.ed.0.port=0x320
userconfig will be rewritten to use this style interface one day and will
move to /boot/userconfig.4th or something like that.
It is still possible to statically compile in a set of hints into a kernel
if you do not wish to use loader(8). See the "hints" directive in GENERIC
as an example.
All device wiring has been moved out of config(8). There is a set of
helper scripts (see i386/conf/gethints.pl, and the same for alpha and pc98)
that extract the 'at isa? port foo irq bar' from the old files and produces
a hints file. If you install this file as /boot/device.hints (and update
/boot/defaults/loader.conf - You can do a build/install in sys/boot) then
loader will load it automatically for you. You can also compile in the
hints directly with: hints "device.hints" as well.
There are a few things that I'm not too happy with yet. Under this scheme,
things like LINT would no longer be useful as "documentation" of settings.
I have renamed this file to 'NOTES' and stored the example hints strings
in it. However... this is not something that config(8) understands, so
there is a script that extracts the build-specific data from the
documentation file (NOTES) to produce a LINT that can be config'ed and
built. A stack of man4 pages will need updating. :-/
Also, since there is no longer a difference between 'device' and
'pseudo-device' I collapsed the two together, and the resulting 'device'
takes a 'number of units' for devices that still have it statically
allocated. eg: 'device fe 4' will compile the fe driver with NFE set
to 4. You can then set hints for 4 units (0 - 3). Also note that
'device fe0' will be interpreted as "zero units of 'fe'" which would be
bad, so there is a config warning for this. This is only needed for
old drivers that still have static limits on numbers of units.
All the statically limited drivers that I could find were marked.

code instead of using 32-bit code and having to just "know" that it's
really 16-bit instructions when things run. This also allows the code
to use fewer macros and more actual assembly statements, which eases
maintenance. Unfortunately, due to as(1) brokenness, we still use m4
macros for all 16-bit addresses, and all short jumps (i.e., 8-bit
relative addresses in the jump instruction) must be wrapped in .code32
directives to avoid useless bloat by as(1). This also fixes a few
problems that were preventing boot0 from compiling with the latest
and greatest version of as(1).
