Hi I'm reading the Design and Implementation of 4.4BSD and I have some questions about the theory in this book and the OpenBSD, can I have a little help me?
0- /src/sys/arch/amd64/stand/biosboot/biosboot.S is the frist code that will be executed after the BIOS, right? 1- I have the Intel's books and in the volume 3 (System Programming Guide), chapter 9 they talk about the processor initiazation. There is a exemple about how to do the boot and construct the tables. All these things are done by the BIOS, that's why I can call a 'int' instruction in the /src/sys/arch/amd64/stand/biosboot/biosboot.S, I'm right? 2- After biosboot.S to where should I go, /src/sys/arch/amd64/stand/boot/srt0.S ? 3- In the 4.4 book the kenel is said to have 2 parts, top half and botton half, and queues between then. "Where are" these things (hardclock(), softclock(), hardware ints handlers, hardware traps handlers, queues, etc) in the souce tree? How theses things are structured in the source tree? I'm trying to study the 4.4 book and go along with the source code but it's very, very hard. :-( Thank You very much
