Date: Fri, 12 May 2000 15:52:43 -0700 From: Peter Wemm Please be sure that you build and install libstand before building a loader! (or use buildworld, that should work) FICL is now active on the Alpha, and actually seems to work. The Alpha problems have been solved - it was an alignment issue of the end of code. Adding/removing code would make it fault. I am not sure if the x86 loader will be affected by a mismatch, but I would not like to bet on it. Be safe and make sure it is not linked against a stale libstand. :-) Cheers, - -Peter - ------- Forwarded Message Date: Fri, 12 May 2000 15:45:16 -0700 From: Peter Wemm To: cvs-committers@FreeBSD.org, cvs-all@FreeBSD.org Subject: cvs commit: src/sys/boot/alpha/common Makefile.common peter 2000/05/12 15:45:16 PDT Modified files: sys/boot/alpha/common Makefile.common Log: Reactivate the FICL hooks to make it be compiled in, but also initialize FICL. bootforth is now live on the Alpha! **BEWARE** - you *MUST* build and install a current libstand or you will most likely get zfree() panics at loader startup. We should now be able to set up the loader.conf stuff on the Alpha too.
