Descr: Utility to actually load & start the kernel from AmigaOS
Uploader: Michael L. Hitch <osymh@gemini.oscs.montana.edu>
Author: Michael L. Hitch <osymh@gemini.oscs.montana.edu>
This is the version of loadbsd being released with NetBSD 1.1.
The differences between 2.10 and 2.12 are relatively minor:
The -t option displays the size of the kernel image which is placed
into chip memory.
Loadbsd now verifies that there is enough chip memory to load
the kernel and will abort if there isn't enough chip memory available.
This version of loadbsd will be compatible with a couple of changes
that I plan to make to the kernel parameter passing mechanism and
how the kernel is loaded. The new features will not be available,
but loadbsd should be able to load the new kernel and will display
a message indicating that a new version of loadbsd is recommended.
The 2.10 and earlier versions of loadbsd will not work when the
new kernel parameter passing mechanism is implemented.
