FreeBSD src repository
Modified files:
sys/conf files files.powerpc
Log:
Move zs.c from files to files.powerpc as zs(4) by now is only
supported
on powerpc (more or less...). That way people updating from
FreeBSD 5
to
FreeBSD 6 and beyond on sparc64 will get an error from config
(8) rather
than a mysterious compile error when they have a stale 'device
zs' in
their kernel config file.
MFC after: 2 weeks
I think some Alpha machines (4100?) also use zs(4) for serial
console.
zs(4)? Hmm, the only oddball Alpha in this sense that comes to mind
is Turbolaser (AlphaServer 8[24]00)
Technically there is an esp driver now that could be used to
revive TL
support, but unless there is someone actively interested in it
_right_now_ I don't think we should make anything contingent on it.
Yes. Last time I tried a CD boot on our Tlaser at work it just bombed
out very early during boot. I did not feel like digging into it,
especially
given that I do not expect anyone to have a huge machine like that
at home
to hack on (let alone pay for the electricity bill..)
Some trivial changes may be all that's needed. To illustrate:

The I/O port base and channel also need to be set correctly of
course but it looks like that can be hardcoded. This should be
all. With access to hardware I could give it a try if people
think it would be fun...
