I've heavily reworked the network infrastructure in libstand to try to remove the bulk of the cruft and generally clean it up. Casualties of this process are RARP and bootparam, neither of which are relevant to FreeBSD. Diffs at http://www.freebsd.org/~msmith/stand.diff This required some changes to the SRM network driver in the Alpha loader, and I've cut it right down with the intention of doing the presettable parameters in a different fashion. Diffs at http://www.freebsd.org/~msmith/alpha-boot.diff I've tested that this code compiles and works to the extent that it will load a kernel using bootp and NFS. I haven't tested TFTP. Modulo bugs and the absence of a DHCP client, this is about where I want to leave things for now. There is still some ugliness in this code, but it's contained for the moment. (The most notable bug is the failure of 'ls' over NFS, which I'm chasing this afternoon.) -- \\ The mind's the standard \\ Mike Smith \\ of the man. \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ -- Joseph Merrick \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
