in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT
options ROOTDEVNAME=\"da0s2e\"
must be specified as:
options ROOTDEVNAME="da0s2e"
else 'make depend' loses the string. w/o quotes it's just an
undefined. parser change to eliminate quote requirements
for config file defines obviated need for hard quotes in
ROOTDEVNAME>. "config" does not grok the errors.
am one of those who suffers from lack of politically correct
attitude -- I dont do M$lop (refuse to), so why should I
worry about slices? never need slices before M$lop.... however,
that may change as SCSI disk sizes keep climbing and too large
partitions take performance hits.
alternative is to change MAXPARTITIONS? to 16?
although
options ROOTDEVNAME="da0a"
does not alleviate necessity of specifying
set rootdev=disk1a
set currdev=$rootdev
in /boot/loader.rc, it's just one more chink; it appears that
the only way to beat the final mile is to patch the loader
each time I update...
attila out...
