Made CTRL-space generate nul as default.
Feb. 10th snapshot. The keyboard probe in the bootblock seems to
have been singled out as the cause of these problems, so I've beefed it
up alittle. This pushes us right up to the edge of the size limit:
the second stage boot is now 7152 bytes in size, just 8 bytes under
the wire. On the other hand, the new probe now does almost exactly
what syscons does, so hopefully this will do the trick. It seems
to work properly on my hardware, but then so did the old probe.
compiler.
Be carefull about over usage of volatile, it really killed performance
in a few areas and there was a better place to make things volatile in
almost all cases. The driver can now receive at full speed without RNR
errors.
New functions create - vm_object_pip_wakeup and pagedaemon_wakeup that
are used to reduce the actual number of wakeups.
New function vm_page_protect which is used in conjuction with some new
page flags to reduce the number of calls to pmap_page_protect.
Minor changes to reduce unnecessary spl nesting.
Rewrote vm_page_alloc() to improve readability.
Various other mostly cosmetic changes.
(a) bring back ttselect, now that we have xxxdevtotty() it isn't dangerous.
(b) remove all of the wrappers that have been replaced by ttselect
(c) fix formatting in syscons.c and definition in syscons.h
(d) add cxdevtotty
NOT DONE:
(e) make pcvt work... it was already broken...when someone fixes pcvt to
link properly, just rename get_pccons to xxxdevtotty and we're done
Include proper files for 2.x.
Remove old unused argument to ixreset (int uba)
Nolonger convert ether_type to host byte order.
Use arp_ifinit in place of arpwhohas.
Change cb_ias to be non volatile.
is close to 1000000 / 960 usec so the confusion probably didn't matter.
Test for COMCONSOLE before testing for RB_SERIAL so that the RB_SERIAL
test can be optimized away if COMCONSOLE is 1.
Simplify and Uniformize style of previous commit.
(b) add a function callback vector to tty drivers that will return a pointer
to a valid tty structure based upon a dev_t
(c) make syscons structures the same size whether or not APM is enabled so
utilities don't crash if NAPM changes (and make the damn kernel compile!)
(d) rewrite /dev/snp ioctl interface so that it is device driver and i386
independant
Removed screensavers from syscons, they are now LKM's. This makes it
possible to do some really "interesting" screensavers...
Fixed bug that sometimes caused garbage to appear when leaving
"scroll-lock" history.
Reformattet indentation, it got too deep for a normal 80 pos screen.
Split up in syscons.c & syscons.h for use with the saver-lkm's.
Temporarily removed -s option from vidcontrol, savers should now
be loaded with modload.

returned to user mode without enabling ASTs. The problem fixed itself
at the next syscall or non-FPU trap, if any. It hung the system for
a test process that masked SIGFPE's and divided by zero. The faulting
division was returned to endlessly and this gave plently of opportunities
for the swi_ast_phantom case to be reached; after it was reached the
system hung because the ASTs for preemption and SIGINT handling were
disabled.
just thinking about it.
Two changes need to be made to allow 'config kernel swap generic' to
work properly without requiring any compile-time flags:
/usr/src/usr.sbin/config/mkswapconf.c: we need to define a dummy stub
for the setconf() function to replace the one in swapgeneric.c that
isn't available in non-generic configurations.
/usr/src/sys/i386/i386/autoconf.c: the -a boot flag causes setroot()
to be skipped and lets setconf() prompt the user for a root device.
If you skip setroot() in a non-generic kernel, you could get severely
hosed. To avoid this, we silently ignore the -a flag if rootdev != NODEV.
(rootdev is always initialized to NODEV in swapgeneric.c, so if
we find that rootdev is something other than NODEV, we know we're
not using a generic configuration.)
briefly over it, and see some serious architectural issues in this stuff.
On the other hand, I doubt that we will have any solution to these issues
before 2.1, so we might as well leave this in.
Most of the stuff is bracketed by #ifdef's so it shouldn't matter too much
in the normal case.

Slice 0 is now for the first BSD slice. The first BSD slice is
the first DOSpartition with id 0xa5 or the whole disk if their
are no DOSpartitions (except the latter is not yet implemented).
Existing partitions on it work the same as in 2.0 except the
'd' partition is no longer special and partitions are relative
to the skice.
Slice 1 is now for the whole disk and gets a read-only label
describing the disk. Previously, slice 0 was for the whole disk
and there was no label on it.
Slices 2-31 are for DOSpartitions. Slice 0 is an alias for one
of these if there is a BSD slice. Previously, slices 1-31 were
for DOSpartitions.

Expand whole disk slice to include all DOSpartitions. More work
is required for >1024 cylinders and to rewrite the label iff the

Fix an off by 1 error. Some caclulations seem to be off by a factor

0xd000 bytes. The minor number encoding only allows 16 ttys.

It boots FreeBSD from a running MS-DOS system.
It's compiled using some MS-DOS tools, but there is a binary

with a solution for the problem. Just saying "this is bad" doesn't count!)
Rod, you were right: one would have to deal with weird interfaces to the
memory managers, and it seems that Christian found them all, and made them
work.
Thanks Christian!

Christians README:
------------------
Hi Everybody!
This is version 1.5 of "fbsdboot", a program that allows you to boot a kernel
from a MS-DOS partition or a FreeBSD partition. This program runs using DOS.
It works with various memory managers (like EMM386, 386MAX) under certain
circumstances.
First, a FreeBSD kernel is always loaded to memory starting at 0x100000. To
assure that loading the kernel *does not* overwrite memory used by memory
managers, high memory for the kernel is allocated and after loading the kernel
it's moved to 0x100000.
Second, there are many ways to switch to protected mode which is necessary to
start the kernel. Each BIOS gives you the possibility to use INT15H (AH=89H)
to do that. But some memory-managers like 386max does not allow you to use
this method.
An other way to do the switch is to use DPMI services, but they do not
guarantee, that the protected mode application is executed with privilege
level 0. Therefore this method is *not* used.
VCPI services offer another way to switch to protected mode, and VCPI servers
are built into "emm386.exe", "386max" and "qemm". That's why, this method is
implemented in fbsdboot.exe.
Fbsdboot.exe tries to switch to protected mode using VCPI services. If they're
not available INT15H is used to do the switch. If that fails, it's not possible
for this version of fbsdboot.exe to boot a kernel :-(.
You can get commandline options of fbsdboot if you start it with "-?" as option!
I don't know, if fbsdboot works with QEMM, as I don't have the possibility to
test it.
Enjoy and have fun!
Christian.

Make conditionals on BIOSWAIT consistent with usage in io.c.
If you had 'BOOTWAIT=0' in your /etc/make.conf then biosboot wouldn't
compile. It was '#if' in io.c and '#ifdef' in probe_keyboard.c so I
changed the latter to '#if'.
Even if BOOTWAIT is undefined then '#if BOOTWAIT' becomes
'#if 0' so it should compile either way with this change.
I took 53 and it was too late when Jordan sayd
it better been 60..besides i have no clue how to make it 60..

Unfortunately we didn't send him a copy of the style guide before he did it.
I'm trying to find all the benign and downright sound bits and will commit
them without any other explanation than "YF fix" if they are merely cosmetic.
