I'd like to do some remote kernel testing.
I looked at nextboot(8) which mentions WRITEBACK nameblocks.
So I looked in /sys/i386/boot/biosboot, and the Makefile mentions:
# Enable code to take the default boot string from a fixed location on the
# disk. See nextboot(8) and README.386BSD for more info.
#CFLAGS+= -DNAMEBLOCK
#CFLAGS+= -DNAMEBLOCK_WRITEBACK
Should _both_ be undef'ed ?
If so, then the compile gives:
[...]
dd if=boot.nohdr of=boot2 bs=512 skip=1
14+1 records in
14+1 records out
7216 bytes transferred in 0.000877 secs (8227837 bytes/sec)
boot2 is too big
*** Error code 2
... but it dumps ok with only
CFLAGS+= -DNAMEBLOCK_WRITEBACK
but will it work ?
