| * | Bootloader update. | Mike Smith | 1998-08-31 | 1 | -17/+1 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Implement a new copyin/readin interface for loading modules. This allows the module loaders to become MI, reducing code duplication. - Simplify the search for an image activator for the loaded kernel. - Use the common module management code for all module metadata. - Add an 'unload' command that throws everything away. - Move the a.out module loader to MI code, add support for a.out kld modules.

| * | This is the new unified bootstrap, sometimes known previously as the | Mike Smith | 1998-08-21 | 1 | -0/+64 |
| 'three-stage' bootstrap. There are a number of caveats with the code in its current state: - The i386 bootstrap only supports booting from a floppy. - The kernel and kld do not yet know how to deal with the extended information and module summary passed in. - PnP-based autodetection and demand loading of modules is not implemented. - i386 ELF kernel loading is not ready yet. - The i386 bootstrap is loaded via an ugly blockmap. On the alpha, both net- and disk-booting (SRM console machines only) is supported. No blockmaps are used by this code. Obtained from: Parts from the NetBSD/i386 standalone bootstrap.
