CVS commit: src



Module Name:    src
Committed By:   ross
Date:           Tue Sep 22 05:03:37 UTC 1998

Modified Files:
        src/sys/arch/alpha/stand/installboot: installboot.c
Log Message:
Add a `-b #' option and logic for locating the secondary boot image via
an absolute block address. It's cheating, as the motivation is support for
the libsa ustar tfs `filesystem' and the solution symmetrical to ufs and
cd9660 would have been to teach installboot about tfs. However, it still
would have been different as you can't mount a tfs with the kernel, and
this option gets possibly useful support for any contiguous format, even
completely raw boot images.
