An example script for creating a bootable floppy

At http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/backup-programs.html, there is a script for creating a bootable floppy. Part of this script is the MINI kernel. The example is out of date and doesn't work under 4.2. I've included my amended mini-kernel when trying to convert it to 4.2- stable. But it fail

Setting bus resources from a module

Hi, I have some problems understanding how resources like the I/O Port or IRQ are set from a loadable kernel module. I tried to construct a module to access the generic joystick port on the isa bus. But i don't understand how the resources are set for the port. Is it right to do a BUS_ADD_CHIL

PCI bus code & SMC9432 behaviour

Hi! I got into a following problem with subj: During boot process, the card can be in power down mode. This can be cause MEMEN and PORTEN bits not set up correctly (set to 0) during boot. This bits not set will cause no resources for this device, thus later a bus_alloc_resource() call will fail.

Re: panic: ufs_dirbad: bad dir

I had to give up on that disk. I bought a new 10GB IDE to replace it (it's going to be vastly under-filled). I still have the disk, so if anyone wants to follow this up, it is still intact. On 2 Feb 2001, at 5:21, Dan Langille wrote: > I recently upgraded a box from 4.1-stable to 4.2-stable.
