Re: [PATCH] a.out support for multiboot and freebsd

[Bean]

Hi,

The following patch support freebsd a.out and elf, now you can load
the kernel directly.

1. Boot through loader:

set root=(hd0,0,a)
freebsd /boot/loader

It should be able to deduce the root device from the root variable.

2. Booting directly:
freebsd (hd0,0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel
freebsd_loadenv (hd0,0,a)/boot/devices.hints
set FreeBSD.vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:ad0s1a

environment variable for FreeBSD has the FreeBSD. prefix, the prefix
is removed before jumping to kernel code.

Please note that you need to set root device explicitly using
vfs.root.mountfrom.
