machdep.guessed_bootdev, and add code to sysctl to parse its value and give a (not necessarily correct) name to the device we booted from (the main motivation for this code is to use the info in the PicoBSD boot scripts, and the impact on the kernel is minimal). NOTE: the information available in bootdev is not always reliable, so you should not trust it too much. The parsing code is the same as in boot2.c, and cannot cover all cases -- as it is, it seems to work fine with floppies and IDE disks recognised by the BIOS. It _should_ work as well with SCSI disks recognised by the BIOS. Booting from a CDROM in floppy emulation will return /dev/fd0 (because this is what the BIOS tells us). Booting off the network (e.g. with etherboot) leaves bootdev unset so the value will be printed as "invalid (0xffffffff)". Finally, this feature might go away at some point, hopefully when we have a more reliable way to get the same information. MFC-after: 5 days |

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you have to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
