# 1.32 07-Sep-2021 nia

Remove banner printing code from bootloaders, add it to libsa.

This harmonizes efiboot and the various x86 bootloaders to use shared
code for printing the banner. By friendly coincidence, it also adds
support for specifying 'banner=' in arm efiboot's boot.cfg, as on x86.

# 1.31 28-Jun-2014 rtr

patch posted to tech-kern@ 2014/06/25 for review with minor changes
resulting from feedback.

move multiple copies of code for parsing boot.cfg file from sparc, i386
and zaurus into libsa/bootcfg.{h,c}. largely retained i386 parsing logic
in addition to keeping sparc dispatch function while remaining consistent
with boot.cfg(5).

previous sparc64 file format has been obsoleted but only used by boot
CDs distrib/sparc64/bootfs/boot.cfg has been updated to compensate.

exported names have been prefixed with either BOOTCFG_ or bootcfg_ as per
feedback from christos@

tested on amd64 & sparc64 but not zaurus.

Invert the flag bits to control module loading: rename
LOADMODULES->NOMODULES and READBOOTCONF->NOBOOTCONF.
This way, the default value (0) wired into old bootxx_* and installed
to file systems remains valid and we avoid problems on partial updates.


# 1.23 14-Jan-2010 drochner

On i386/amd64, define two flag bits in the boot parameters which control
whether modules are loaded and whether boot.cfg is evaluated, and
set both to "off" per default in the PXE bootloader.
Extend "installboot" to toggle the bits.
This way, pxeboot works with existing dhcp server setups (and as
described in the manpage) out of the box. Also, boot.cfg reading
involves a stat() call which is horribly inefficient with the
TFTP pseudo file system.


# 1.22 13-Dec-2009 jakllsch

Shut down the PXE network stack when we are done with it.

This fixes an issue where a CK804 nfe(4) would have a
byte-reversed MAC address after pxeboot(8).

# 1.21 14-Sep-2009 jmcneill

Don't commit the selected VBE mode until the loader is past the point of
no return; need to stick in text mode as long as possible since libsa does
not include a rasops library. While here, add the 'vesa' command to pxeboot
to mirror biosboot behaviour.

# 1.15 26-Sep-2008 christos

branches: 1.15.2;
The structure of our elf kernel is:

elf header/program headers/text/data/note/
section headers/symbol table/string table

We need to read the section headers first to find the offset of the note
and thus we requite backwards seek. The only reason we need to read the
note is to find the version of the kernel, and this seems not to be used
anywhere. We could potentially change the kernel ldscript to add the note
information in the program headers, but dealing with ldscripts is painful
and producing a more complex binary could break some dumb standalone loader.
So the simple solution is to just disable the note loading for floppies
which is what this patch does. If someone wants to fix it in a better way,
be my guest.

# 1.14 15-Jul-2008 perry

Change the x86 boot blocks so they don't include builder login and date.

For now, we include kernel revision as a way of allowing users to
notice that boot blocks have gotten very old, so the first line of the
printout looks like this (depending on the particular block):

>> NetBSD/x86 BIOS Boot, Revision 3.4 (from NetBSD 5.0)

This may be changed a bit pending feedback. (Some people think that
the kernel revision shouldn't be there at all, for example.)

Part of the project to assure that bit-identical sources produce
bit-identical release binaries.

Add support to pxeboot to allow the loading of modules. Changes to main.c
are taken from boot/boot2.c.

This allows an install to be started by running:
load tftp:miniroot.kmod
boot tftp:netbsd-GENERIC

Note that the change to dev_net.c to comment out the network shutdown,
suggests we need to hook the network shutdown in the the common exec code.
If the network is shutdown, it fails to reinitialise and so fails to load
the module.
