What do you think about this change to the handbook?
Instead of
step 4
#cd /sys/boot/i386/boot2
#make
#make install
step 5
#cd /sys/boot/i386/loader
#make
#make install
is should say
step 4
#cd /sys/boot/
#make
#cd /sys/boot/i386/boot2
#make install
#cd /sys/boot/i386/boot2
#make install

Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-bugs->freebsd-doc Over to -doc for consideration. Hi John, as boot/block maintainer can you comment on my proposed patch to the handbook about how to build and install the boot block/loader. See the PR for details http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/37127 (see the patch not the broken example I gave) Thanks /Johan K -- Johan Karlsson mailto:k@numeri.campus.luth.se On 15-Jun-2002 Johan Karlsson wrote: > > Hi John, > > as boot/block maintainer can you comment on my proposed > patch to the handbook about how to build and install > the boot block/loader. > > See the PR for details > http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/37127 > (see the patch not the broken example I gave) Looks good. Actually, you might as well change it to do the following: # cd /sys/boot/<arch> # make # make install To go ahead and install all the various boot blocks. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ On Tue, Jun 25, 2002 at 10:43 (-0400) +0000, John Baldwin wrote: > > Looks good.

This does not work (at least not on i386 -stable) since ficl is need to build the loader. I suggest either # cd /sys/boot # make # cd /sys/boot/<arch> # make install or # cd /sys/boot # make # make install On i386 -stable the result is the same but since I'm not sure about other arch I guess the safe thing is to do the first. Hence I suggest to use the atteched patch. -doc folks, note that I have used <replaceable> around 'arch' but I'm not sure that is the correct thing to do. Please change that if needed before committing. /Johan K -- Johan Karlsson mailto:k@numeri.campus.luth.se On 25-Jun-2002 Johan Karlsson wrote: > On Tue, Jun 25, 2002 at 10:43 (-0400) +0000, John Baldwin wrote: >> >> Looks good.

This second one is best. It also has the nice side effect of not being as machine-specific. > On i386 -stable the result is the same but since I'm not > sure about other arch I guess the safe thing is to do the > first.

The patch would not apply, but I tried to make the changes manually. If I've managed to make any mistakes in the process, drop me a note to correct this.
