Modified files:
sys/boot/i386/loader conf.c
lib/libstand Makefile bzipfs.c stand.h zipfs.c
Added files:
lib/libstand splitfs.c
Log:
Add splitfs vfs layer into libstand, which allows loading big kernels and
modules split across several physical medias. Following is how it works:
The splitfs code, when asked to open "foo" looks for a file "foo.split"
which is a text file containing a list of filenames and media names, e.g.
foo.aa "Kernel floppy 1"
foo.ab "Kernel floppy 2"
foo.ac "Kernel and modules floppy"
For each file segment, the process is:
- try to open the file
- prompt "Insert the disk labelled <whatever> and press any key..."
- try to open the file
- return error if file could not be located
RE team is free to use this feature in the upcoming 5.0-DP1.
