etherboot 5.2.6 net =5

Network boot of FreeBSD a.out/ELF kernels (improved netboot)
Maintained by: ambrisko@freebsd.org
Port Added: unknown

---

---

This code produce bootloaders for a number of cards that can be
loaded from raw or DOS-formatted floppy/hard disks and ROMs
to boot ELF/aout kernels over NFS or TFTP.
Edit work/etherboot/src/Config to see/set the desired features.

The defaults used here are suited to boot FreeBSD ELF kernels over NFS.

To produce an etherboot floppy (or HD partition) do

	cd work/etherboot-5.2.4/src 
	cat bin/boot1a.bin bin/<device>.zrom > /dev/fd0

Replace <device> with the specific code for your card, and /dev/fd0
with your hard disk partition.

Make net/etherboot fetchable again by using berlios.de

From the PR:
  Without this patch GCC optimizer removes all card driver code
  resulting in nonworking rom image.

  There are some bugs in GCC-3.4.2, maybe updating system compiler to latest
  gcc snapshot will be good idea also.

This still occurs in 7-current gcc version 3.4.4 [FreeBSD] 20050518.
So adding in the patch.

Fix build error on 4.X and 6.X.  Different problems though.

Needs Perl to build and only for i386 (ia64 might work)

Prompted by:    Kris

Make it build the ROMs and boot1a.bin so it makes the description
file on how to make an image.

Revert the 5.2.4 version of boot1a.s to that of the former 5.0.8.
This should make things work like before.  Update the desc. for
compressed images lzrom -> zrom.

Update to EtherBoot 5.2.4

Update my email to @freebsd.org.

Try to implement something similar to a window protocol in
terms of response to losses.
This makes etherboot work much smoother when nfs-loading
kernels in presence of a small amount of losses.

A similar patch will be committed shortly for tftp loads
(in the process of testing that, Doug Ambrisko and I found
a bug in FreeBSD's tftpd!).

These patches are being submitted to the etheboot developers
for integration in future releases of etherboot.

Keep in sync the partition type recognized by this code, and
the partition type stored in the fake partition table at the
end of this boot sector.

Upgrade etherboot to 5.0.5, improve pkg documentation and use more   sensible
defaults for FreeBSD. Specifically:    

Update to 5.0.4   Remove empty pkg-plist    

Update to 5.0.3.    

Change maintainers email address to reflect his new reality.    

fix malformed patch (apparently some tab was converted into   whitespace)    

Update to 5.0.1, which includes a boot sector to load   the ROM code from the
hard disk, and an improved "tulip" driver.    

Fixed bug imported by myself.   Newer version(7.22) was released right after my
commit(7.21).    

I forgot to change distinfo before commit..    

Latest net/etherboot contains FreeBSD patch so that it no more needs   tricky
configuration change to FreeBSD.  The maintainer agrees it better   to use the
Latest version of etherboot.    

Update to version 4.6.10.    

Change PKGDIR from pkg/ to .  Also fix places where ${PKGDIR} is   spelled out
(many of which are ${PKGDIR}/MESSAGE -> ${PKGMESSAGE} type   fixes that
shouldn't have been necessary) and the string "/pkg/"   appear.    

Convert category net to new layout.  

Teach MASTER_SITES about new MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE.    

Update to version 4.6.1.
