Do I have to > install it on a x86 machine and cross-compile? I don't think there are any published guides either. You do have to cross compile (but you could probably go from any of the other targets FreeBSD supports to ppc). Check out your source tree in a directory (let's use /usr/src) cd /usr/src TARGET_ARCH=powerpc make -DNO_WERROR buildworld TARGET_ARCH=powerpc make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC (or replace GENERIC with your desired kernel config file) Your kernel will end up in /usr/obj/powerpc somewhere, as will your boot loader. I find on an OldWorld machine, it's easiest to netboot even if you're going to use a local root partition. You can boot from a CD if you want to, but if you've got an OW machine make sure to either make an ISO without version numbers, or to follow the boot loader path with the appropriate number (e.g. ';1'). However, if you were going to use an NFS root, you could easily just installworld somewhere other than /, and boot that way. After that you could tar, pax, or cpio everything up and unpack it on a local disk if so desired. NetBSD includes some very useful disk partitioning tools. If you do indeed have an OW machine, I'd be very curious to hear if the boot loader works for you (actually if this is the case you'll have a few other steps you need to use, as the buildworld builds an ELF loader, but only Apple OF >= 3 supports loading ELF binaries). My eventual goal is to distil a bootloader that is up to date except for the memory allocation business (as this is what fails for me). Of course, if anyone has some suggestions for how to get this all bootstrapped under NetBSD, I'd be real thrilled (cause then I could try to build the bootloader under NetBSD and skip one step of annoyance, no? - alex From owner-freebsd-ppc@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Oct 19 20:51:11 2003 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7254316A4B3 for ; Sun, 19 Oct 2003 20:51:11 -0700 (PDT) Received: from smtpout.mac.com (A17-250-248-97.apple.com [17.250.248.97]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C27B543FCB for ; Sun, 19 Oct 2003 20:51:08 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from resistor@mac.com) Received: from mac.com (smtpin08-en2 [10.13.10.153]) by smtpout.mac.com (Xserve/MantshX 2.0) with ESMTP id h9K3p8Gc023312; Sun, 19 Oct 2003 20:51:08 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mac.com (unpc-784-21.pc.ts2athga.ath.ga.charter.com [66.190.87.69]) (authenticated bits=0)h9K3p7bn029696; Sun, 19 Oct 2003 20:51:07 -0700 (PDT) Date: Sun, 19 Oct 2003 23:51:06 -0400 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v552) To: Alex Zepeda From: Owen Anderson In-Reply-To: <20031020034210.GA7604@blarf.homeip.net> Message-Id: Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.552) cc: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Installation Instructions?

It currently relies on having a USB keyboard, so if you have a system that uses an ADB keyboard (e.g. early iBooks, B&W G3), then you have to either attach a USB keyboard, or disable syscons at the loader prompt to use the old ofw console OK set hw.syscons.disable=1 But don't do this unless you really have to. Since USB is enabled in the kernel, this doesn't work too well on boxes with USB keyboards, but then, syscons is a way better console environment than ofwcons. For those who haven't installed before, there's some very terse instructions at: http://people.freebsd.org/~grehan/install.html Make sure to have a strong sense of adventure and know how to use the programmer's switch :-) And for kicks, syscons users should try this on the console: # sh /usr/share/examples/dialog/radiolist ... and verify the first radio button :-) Also, check out VTY switching using Alt-F?

No. It was a bit of a hack, and I deleted it from my local copy since it isn't needed when net-booting. CD/hard-drive booting show it up, though. The other uncommitted loader patch is to the iso9660 module so it can recognise HFS+ hybrid CDROMs. I haven't committed that since I want to re-organise the code so that loader can recognise hybrid and 'pure' ISOs e.g. to support older OFW versions :-) >If not, could you build a copy of the loader with > XCOFF_GLUE defined?

It just doesn't recognize the ISO versioning stuff by default. Especially since you've gotten the virtual console stuff working (something NetBSD sorely lacks), I'm very interested in getting FreeBSD working on this machine :^) Does syscons have the ability to use off the shelf VGA cards? An accelerated console would be very keen indeed (something else NetBSD lacks). Of course I've also run out of ideas at this point.. - alex From owner-freebsd-ppc@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Oct 25 08:58:14 2003 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 36F7516A4B3 for ; Sat, 25 Oct 2003 08:58:14 -0700 (PDT) Received: from smtpout.mac.com (smtpout.mac.com [17.250.248.88]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6D2BB43F85 for ; Sat, 25 Oct 2003 08:58:13 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from leimy2k@mac.com) Received: from mac.com (smtpin07-en2 [10.13.10.152]) by smtpout.mac.com (Xserve/MantshX 2.0) with ESMTP id h9PFwCT7024424; Sat, 25 Oct 2003 08:58:13 -0700 (PDT) Received: from [192.168.1.205] (adsl-212-176-187.jan.bellsouth.net [68.212.176.187]) (authenticated bits=0)h9PFwBCQ028012; Sat, 25 Oct 2003 08:58:11 -0700 (PDT) In-Reply-To: <200310250215.ABW01253@dommail.onthenet.com.au> References: <200310250215.ABW01253@dommail.onthenet.com.au> Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v606) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Message-Id: <03203795-0704-11D8-A34D-000A95AFBEB4@mac.com> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit From: David Leimbach Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2003 10:58:02 -0500 To: peterg@ptree32.com.au X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.606) cc: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org Subject: Re: New tarball available X-BeenThere: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Porting FreeBSD to the PowerPC List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2003 15:58:14 -0000 On Oct 24, 2003, at 9:15 PM, peterg@ptree32.com.au wrote: >> width 00000480 > ... >> linebytes 00000500 > > That's the case I wasn't handling - might be fixed > in people.freebsd.org/~grehan/kernel.dave, although > I don't have a machine with a difference between this > pair to test on. > Yeah.. the width is wrong in kernel.dave too.
