This directory will contain the code necessary to compile and link the
|
| 2 |
|
|
/boot program which is necessary to boot on the Sparc. This program
|
| 3 |
|
|
is real ugly and it knows too much. It must be able to not only boot
|
| 4 |
|
|
off of the root partition but also be able to netboot. This means
|
| 5 |
|
|
that it knows about RPC and NFS (bleech, yuck, eeewwwww!!) so that it
|
| 6 |
|
|
can remote mount the root directory to fetch the kernel. Also it must
|
| 7 |
|
|
be able to ARP for its IP address and who its boot server is. I
|
| 8 |
|
|
think I'm getting sick.

Regardless for now I will concentrate on the low-level stuff necessary
|
| 11 |
|
|
to get the thing going. This means the low-level entry code, etc.
|
| 12 |
|
|
The prom knows how to get "us" if we have the proper boot blocks,
|
| 13 |
|
|
actually the boot blocks live in our logical partition on a hard drive
|
| 14 |
|
|
whereas over NFS this isn't applicable. We have the boot blocks in
|
| 15 |
|
|
our data area either way because we can be dual purpose.

More will come....

Hopefully I can write this such that it will work on almost all SUN
|
| 20 |
|
|
machines in existence. We'll see ;(
