INLINE COMMENTS sys/arm/annapurna/alpine/alpine_machdep_mp.c:106 I don't view "we are not supporting loader(8)" as a valid position without some sort of really strong justification. It's not 2011 anymore where we commit code for a new platform as soon as it can boot a bare kernel.bin that supports a serial console. loader(8) is part of freebsd and is the standard way to load a kernel. why do you claim to not support it? sys/boot/fdt/dts/arm/annapurna-alpine.dts:2 https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm/boot/dts/alpine-db.dts https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm/boot/dts/alpine.dtsi REVISION DETAIL https://reviews.freebsd.org/D2340 EMAIL PREFERENCES https://reviews.freebsd.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/ To: jpa-semihalf.com, ian, andrew, imp Cc: meloun-miracle-cz, onwahe-gmail-com, freebsd-arm
