generate_fat.sh does the following: - create an 800kb zero-filled file - create an md device backed by this file - format the device fat12 - mount the filesystem - create the EFI ESP directory structure - create the EFI boot file (BOOTx64 for amd64, BOOTaa64 for aarch64, etc) - Adds a marker to the beginning of the file, and pad it to 384kb - 384kb was chosen as it is less than half of 800kb, thus allowing users to keep a backup of their older boot file in the small partition - Unmount the filesystem - Scan the image and find the offset where the marker was inserted - The process requires root, to make image generation easier, images for each architecture are pregenerated, compressed with xz, and checked into svn. The Makefile that generates boot1.efifat does the following: - Ensure the compiled boot1.efi file is no larger than the generated image - Decompress the template created by generate-fat.sh - dd the contents of boot1.efi into boot1.efifat starting at the offset where the marker is found. This allows any file less than the maximum size to be written into the fat filesystem without having to mount it, so no root privileges are required. Later work by imp and myself makes bsdinstall create a 200mb fat16 instead of using this process, but it is retained to make image generation easier.

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. See build(7) and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables.
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. See build(7), config(8), and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html for more information.
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 kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds.
