sensible defaults for FreeBSD. Specifically:
Makefile, distinfo:
upgrade to etherboot 5.0.5
pkg-descr:
improve description on installing on floppy/hd
files/patch-aa:
implement some FreeBSD-specific defaults, namely:
+ boot1a.s
use a FreeBSD partition type instead of a DOS partition type
+ makerom.c
pad the image size to multiples of 8k instead of powers of 2.
This makes the tulip image fit in the 62 sectors which are
typically unused on the first track of hard disks (other images
were already 16k so there is not a problem with them).
+ Makefile
make the disk loader bin/boot1a.bin be compiled by default
All these diffs are in the same patchfile because they are very
short, version independent (they even work with 5.0.4 and probably
earlier versions of etherboot) and will be contributed back to the
developers, so it is not worthwhile to clutter the ports subtree
with multiple patches.

This code produce bootloaders for a number of cards that can be
|
|
loaded from from raw or DOS-formatted floppy/hard disks and ROMs
|
|
to boot ELF/aout kernels over NFS or TFTP.
|
|
Edit work/etherboot/src/Config to see/set the desired features.
|
|
|
|
The defaults used here are suited to boot FreeBSD ELF kernels over NFS.
|
|
|
|
To produce an etherboot floppy (or HD partition) do
|
|
|
|
cd work/etherboot/src
|
|
cat bin/boot1a.bin bin32/<device>.lzrom > /dev/fd0
|
|
|
|
Replace <device> with the specific code for your card, and /dev/fd0
|
|
with your hard disk partition.
