Some new stuff in experimental. Filesystems don't really need any comment. ata.mod was splitted into ata.mod and pata.mod since AHCI uses ATA too. So now it's --disk-module=3D(pata|ahci|native) where native is a special keyword to include all native disk drivers and dependencies (ahci, pata, uhci,ohci, usbms currently). To switch from biosdisk to ahci "on the fly"= : insmod ahci prefix=3D(ahciX,Y)/Z Example of freedos booting: menuentry "Freedos" { root=3Dhd0,msdos1 freedos /kernel.sys } Example of plan9 loading: menuentry "Plan9" { root=3Dhd0,msdos1,plan1 plan9 -m hd0=3DsdC0 /9pcf 'bootargs=3Dlocal!#S/sdC0/fossil' 'bootdisk=3Dlocal!#S/sdC0/fossil' '*nodumpstack=3D1' '*nomp=3D1' 'dmamode= =3Dask' 'partition=3Dnew' 'mouseport=3Dps2' 'monitor=3Dxga' 'vgasize=3D640x480x8'= } Both Plan9 and FreeDos use BIOS calls so they are restricted to i386-pc. Both boot protocols are archaic and don't even include a way to pass memory map. --=20 Regards Vladimir '=CF=86-coder/phcoder' Serbinenko --------------enig6CF7C6D702E70EA607DD2898 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iF4EAREKAAYFAk0Wh9MACgkQNak7dOguQglv5gD+JoLKukbijfiNk85ki96QtAJi dP9Ik/ZUPWlWDbh9F5ABAI9hW6n3Dhcf0Uunrw6qQBzE+bxaR3LKxtL/svH4BM9o =NwZr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig6CF7C6D702E70EA607DD2898--
