Hi,
If you've been wondering what I've been doing last week...1.3B ;-)
I noticed that Jason's changes to config(1) break the Atari-port. This is
at least true for those of you that have their root-fs on an ide-disk, like
myself. The problem lies in the name change that happens as a side effect
of the config change.
The (ugly) hack that will keep the kernel going is:
--- /usr/src/sys.org/arch/atari/atari/autoconf.c
+++ autoconf.c
@@ -56,6 +55,7 @@
{ "fd", 2 },
{ "sd", 4 },
{ "cd", 6 },
+ { "ide", 14 },
{ "wd", 14 },
{ NULL, 0 },
};
If you have your root fs hard configured on wd0a, you will have to
change your config file too, like:
config netbsd root on ide0a type ffs dumps on sd0b
Of course, the above mentioned 'solutions' are hacks. The real solution is
to merge with the MI-wd driver. This also has the advantage of getting the
ATAPI possibilities as a bonus. Any takers?
Leo.
