HEADS UP: loader and libstand caution required.

2000-05-12 Thread Peter Wemm

Please be sure that you build and install libstand before building
a loader!  (or use buildworld, that should work)

FICL is now active on the Alpha, and actually seems to work.  The Alpha
problems have been solved - it was an alignment issue of the end of code.
Adding/removing code would make it fault.

I am not sure if the x86 loader will be affected by a mismatch, but I would
not like to bet on it.  Be safe and make sure it is not linked against
a stale libstand. :-)

Cheers,
-Peter

  Modified files:
sys/boot/alpha/common Makefile.common 
  Log:
  Reactivate the FICL hooks to make it be compiled in, but also initialize
  FICL.  bootforth is now live on the Alpha!
  
  **BEWARE** - you *MUST* build and install a current libstand or you will
  most likely get zfree() panics at loader startup.
  
  We should now be able to set up the loader.conf stuff on the Alpha too.

Good job tracking this one down Peter
