Hi,
Grub can boot FreeBSD by :
kernel /boot/<some kernel>
boot
Does this mean FreeBSD kernel is a multiboot kernel?
I search the source tree and can not find any thing about multiboot. I think the grub maybe know something about the boot stages of FreeBSD. Am i right?
Thanks.
By reading the mdsetimage's source code, the ramdisk image insert into the kernel's some ELF section.
NetBSD kernel can be configured to work with multiboot boot loader such as grub. So we can get a single ELF file (kernel with ramdisk root filesystem in it) to boot up a computer runing a...
These are memory disks(filesystem) support in FreeBSD. But i want to know is there a way to insert a memory disk as root file system to a FreeBSD kernel?
Hi, Guys
As i know, it is easy to insert a ram disk image into a NetBSD kernel image.
say :
makefs -s 20m -t ffs ramdisk.img fakeroot/
mdsetimage -v netbsd ramdisk.img
Is this possible in FreeBSD and how ?
Thanks in advance.
What do you mean "entire tool chain" ? OpenBSD's own as(assembler) instead gas ? OpenBSD's own ld(link editor) instead GNU's version? Or just PCC instead gcc ?
I use rxvt-unicode in the X windows system and it can display utf-8 chinese char right.
I think the kiconv lib can not convert UTF-16 to UTF-8 right now(FreeBSD-7.1). Am I right?
I use FreeBSD-7.1 and in my kernel conf file:
options MSDOSFS
options MSDOSFS_ICONV
options LIBICONV
I mount the fat32 filesystem :
mount_msdosfs -D cp936 -L zh_CN.UTF-8 /dev/da0s1 /mnt
But it can not display chinese. Is there any problem about msdosfs or the problem about...
Hi,
Every time I add some printf()s to the kernel source and build it. The building system(cd /usr/src && make buildkern KERNCONF=...) will build the whole kernel.(clean all the objects in /usr/obj and rebuild all the objects)
Is there a way to build only file(s) what I've edited just...
