"Driver Floppy" implementation (Re: "make release" breakage - dokern.sh patch 2)
Hi! In "make release breakage" discussion, I said that I'll write a patch to load kernel module from sysinstall to get more free space in the first floppy. This is my implementation. I'll commit this patch to -current if there's no objection. I moved PCI/PCCARD/USB if_xx.ko driver to mfsroot.flp, and I've got 100KB of free blocks in the first floppy. If we move more drivers to mfsroot.flp or coming drivers.flp, we can get not only free blocks in the first floppy, but also more installation devices. I've put the patche and the binary images of *.flp at, http://people.freebsd.org/~hosokawa/driver-floppy/ I've tested these floppies on my machine with Intel PRO/100+ fxp network card. Sysinstall loads if_fxp.ko from mfsroot.flp, and listed it as network installation media (Alt-F2 shows debug messages). -- Tatsumi Hosokawa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.sm.rim.or.jp/~hosokawa/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

IPv6 is site specific, but it has been important since April 24th of this year to support IPv6, since that was the date that Cisco released code to support it in all their supported routers. But right now, we all know that widescale acceptance of IPv6 is going to have to come in at the client level, with Microsoft driving the deployment process. It wouldn't hurt if someone were to build a highly efficient NAT box for IPv6<->IPv4, so that once Microsoft CDROMs could be pressed by AT&T @HOME or some other severable network provider, that IPv6 deployment could go forward a large chunk of the net at a time, instead of being an all-or-nothing crash-fest. Take this as a hint to the IPv6 advocates in the audience that they need to do something. NFS is also important. NFS is hard to load as a driver, and keep the LEASE code working. NFSv4 is looming on the horizon, and it appears to finally fix locking, for once and for all, for non-coelescing clients, as well as for stacking VFS layers including an NFS VFS somewhere in the stack. There is some possibility that it will actually be useful to Windows systems. I think it's time to look at supporting "drivers" floppies, and the pain in having no floppies is certainly incentive for someone to do the work, should that become stated policy of the project to support most things through driver floppies that are loaded post-boot.

Each time it's like cutting out your limbs to fit into tight clothes. What I think we need is to find new clothes, so to speak, i.e. some other way of organizing the content on the floppies. If we don't do it, we will keep loosing. E.g. we could move some of the drivers to the mfsroot.flp as KLDs, and either autoload them later (i.e. not from the bootloader, but using kldload), or have some options in the menu for loading. This way at least we will avoid overflowing kern.flp.

And more, IPv6 is network layer feature, and NFS is session and higher layer feature like FTP, HTTP, AFS and so on. If IPv6 is disabled in IPv6-only environment, any of FTP, HTTP, NFS does not work. Disabling NFS causes minor impact compared with that, because switching to FTP is very easy, as already pointed out. NFS is for convenience, IPv6 is for life. The same argument goes for device drivers. Device drivers of storage devices are also for their lives. -- Motomichi Matsuzaki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dept. of Biological Sciences, Grad.

The switch to ftp isn't hard. Well, that's not quite accurate. It did matter, it just seemed like you were the one lone voice calling for it at the time. I very quickly learned otherwise and, what do you know, it came back. :) NFS is a big, bloated and obvious candidate for removal and I'd be very happy to see it go away forever (not just from the boot floppy, but everywhere :-) but that's not likely to happen, now is it? :) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

I think this misses the point. Not everyone installs FreeBSD from public servers and, in fact, there is a large percentage of FreeBSD users who have *never* installed FreeBSD from a public server and never will due to various firewall / corporate policy issues. Instead, they transfer the bits to an intermediate server or mount the installation CD and export it, doing all installs over NFS or anon FTP (internal use only) from there. Believe me, if we were to put out a serious call to kill NFS from the installation boot images, you'd very quickly hear from all of those people and they would be screaming.

"make release" breakage - dokern.sh patch 2
Ok, folks want INET6. It's back.. It's been pointed out to me by "Thomas D. Dean" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> that the 'le' driver does not work. Can someone provide additional information about why it's in GENERIC? Other candidates I've been pointed to include the removal of /boot/boot[12] and NFS (which I seem to remember Jordan axing at one point before we went to a 2 disk set). So, the 2nd try at the patch is below. Comments welcome. -John Index: dokern.sh === RCS file: /mirror/ncvs/src/release/scripts/dokern.sh,v retrieving revision 1.37 diff -r1.37 dokern.sh 40a41 > -e '/ le/d' \ 43c44 < -e '/apm0/d' \ --- > -e '/apm/d' \ 63c64,65 < sed -e '/pty/d' \ --- > sed -e '/ le/d' \ > -e '/pty/d' \ 65c67 < -e '/apm0/d' \ --- > -e '/apm/d' \ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
