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.

I think some Alpha machines (4100?) also use zs(4) for serial
console.
I meant the zs(4) in sys/dev/zs formerly shared between FreeBSD/
powerpc
and FreeBSD/sparc64; FreeBSD/alpha has a separate driver for z8530 in
sys/alpha/tlsb (wasn't TurboLaser support disabled and scheduled for
deorbit some time ago?).
We are no longer building GENERIC with Tlaser support. Matt no longer
has access to the hardware at NASA Ames which makes testing quite
difficult.
I have still access to one at work, but that one is destined to go
soonish.
How sad. The first ever alpha system that ran FreeBSD was a sketchy
emulation of a TurboLaser system (SimOS). I wrote the zs driver to
access the SimOS virtual serial console...
The first physical hardware to run FreeBSD/alpha I'm not sure of. I
seem to remember racing Drew Gallatin to get the thing up. It was
probably either a DEC 433au or a no-name 164lx. Happy times...
