I am setting up a jumpstart server for networked FreeBSD installation
(tftp only). My /tftpboot/boot/loader.rc is rather simple:
load /boot/kernel
load /boot/acpi.ko
load -t mfs_root /boot/mfsroot
set vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/md0c
boot
It works fine with a custom kernel (with statically compiled in device
hints).
However, I would like to use a stock kernel, so I need to tftp download
device.hints and set the kernel environment accordingly. Could you
please help me with the loader.rc code that will do that?
I have found out that putting device hints into loader.rc in the form
of loader environment variables:
set hint.fdc.0.at=isa
set hint.fdc.0.port=0x3F0
set hint.fdc.0.irq=6
set hint.fdc.0.drq=2
set hint.fd.0.at=fdc0
set hint.fd.0.drive=0
set hint.fd.1.at=fdc0
set hint.fd.1.drive=1
set hint.ata.0.at=isa
set hint.ata.0.port=0x1F0
set hint.ata.0.irq=14
does the job.
However, if some Forth guru shows me how to tftp download and parse
/tftpboot/boot/device.hints, I'd be most grateful.
