[hppa-linux] Boot #4 and source on ftp site

[hppa-linux] Boot #4 and source on ftp site

[Jason Eckhardt]

Boot test #4: This is essentially the same code as #3 but I have taken
out some delays, modified the cache flush routines, and turned
verbose (debug) mode back on. I want to make sure that not having the delays
makes no difference and that no characters get dropped when there is a lot
of text (as in debug mode). Please let me know if the test still passes
as before. Hopefully this will be the last test for a while. Kernel work
comes next.

I have uploaded the binary as well as a new source drop to the ftp site. The
source is now GPL'd and a detailed README is included which gives an overview
of the boot code operation. This source supersedes any previous source you
may have laying around.

ftp from sod.res.cmu.edu:/pub/parisc/hilo
  boot_rel_0.2.tar.gz        The latest source code and documentation.
  bootstrap_4.bin.gz         Bootstrap binary #4. 

Regards, 
Jason Eckhardt.

Hi !

Bootstrap #4 works again perfectly and very fast here on 715/64 via BOOTP/TFTP !
No Problems !

Works fine for me now.  I must have messed up the previous try, it
now boots up very quickly and gives me the spinning \|/- stuff.

Hi!

Tested bootstrap #4 with 735 (rbootd) and it worked OK.

Works on B132L (early version B-class). Will try it on a newer
C-class next.

One gripe: The test code doesn't automatically reboot the box.
I use remote consoles and have to walk over to the machine room
to cycle power...remember I'm doing this in my "spare" time.

If/when a kernel debugger is working, rebooting from the debugger
would be a good thing. I think PDC will support this but don't
have a clue about the details.

	I  compiled without libmilli.a and it did compile.
	File ipl_s.s says 
	The object code is converted to LIF (logical interchange format)
	and then at the beginning of the boot media.

	So how do I convert the binary "ipl" to LIF. I tried "lifinit"
	and "mkboot" combination. But no luck, I keep getting 
	
	"Bad IPL size" and "Error reading IPL" error messages. 

	I tried "dd" also on the raw disk. No luck with that either.

	So my question is how to place built "ipl" binary at the
	appropriate place on the disk so that PDC finds it. Any magic
	combination of commands ? Looks like I am missing something
	obvious.


Thanks in advance,

-pkd

You are on the right track.  After lifinit you have to use lifcp to copy
the file into the newly created LIF volume.  You also have to give it
the correct file type.  A script I use for creating bootable LIF
volumes looks something like:

#! /bin/ksh -x
LIF_FILE=uxbootlf
/bin/rm -f $LIF_FILE

lifinit `./iplopt ISL` -v8000000 -d32 -nL2DIAG -K2 -s4096 $LIF_FILE

lifcp -r -T-12800  -K2 ISL             $LIF_FILE:ISL
lifcp -r -T-12289  -K2 AUTO            $LIF_FILE:AUTO
lifcp -r -T-12928  -K2 HPUX            $LIF_FILE:HPUX
