loading for the QLogic cards. Because isp(4) exists before the root is mounted, it's not really possible for us to use the kernel's linker to load modules directly from disk- that's really too bad. However, the this is still a net win in in that the firmware has been split up on a per chip (and in some cases, functionality) basis, so the amount of stuff loaded *can* be substantially less than the 1.5MB of firmware images that ispfw now manages. That is, each specific f/w set is now also built as a module. For example, QLogic 2322 f/w is built as isp_2322.ko and Initiator/Target 1080 firmware is built as isp_1080_it.ko. For compatibility purposes (i.e., to perturb folks the least), we also still build all of the firmware as one ispfw.ko module. This allows us to let 'ispfw_LOAD' keep on working in existing loader.conf files. If you now want to strip this down to just the firmware for your h/w, you can then change loader.conf to load the f/w you specifically want. We also still allow for ispfw to be statically built (e.g., for PAE and sparc64). Future changes will look at f/w unloading and also role switching that then uses the kernel linker to load different ips f/w sets. MFC after: 2 months |

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``world'' target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not changed from the currently running version. See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
