Was this intentional? If so, why?
Yes, this was intentional. I removed this legacy initialization code in favor of a DDF based one which uses serial console and can be used together with ever-improving QEMU w/ OpenBIOS* (but broke keyboard support on the real Sun workstations for the time being) even by people who don't have access to a real-world Sun workstation. I intend this regression in functionality to be rather temporary as it should be possible to reimplement the lost functionality using DDF drivers. We should however first discuss how to figure out which device is the console. The boot argument solution is a bit clumsy and inflexible. HTH, Jakub * In 2.11 QEMU will become even more similar to the real world Ultra 5 because it will feature two Simba PCI buses attached to the main PCI bus using a PCI-to-PCI bridge. _______________________________________________ HelenOS-devel mailing list HelenOS-devel@lists.modry.cz http://lists.modry.cz/listinfo/helenos-devel
