4.2.8 introduced a 512 byte static buffer in osloader.c which will probably cause the RTL8139 code to go over the 32kB limit when executing. Here's a patch for this until 4.2.9 comes out. You will still have to take out all the non-essential options to keep the size down. This patch is optional for non-RTL8139 users. --- etherboot-4.2.8/src/osloader.c Fri Sep 24 22:08:27 1999 +++ etherboot-4.2/src/osloader.c Sat Sep 25 22:18:30 1999 @@ -186,15 +186,16 @@ static int skip; static int freebsd_aout=0, freebsd_elf=0; static int start_offset=0, offset=0; + static unsigned char first_block[512]; #endif void (*kernelentry)(); - static unsigned char first_block[512]; - union infoblock *ibp = (union infoblock *)first_block; + union infoblock *ibp = (union infoblock *)data; if (block == 1) { - bcopy(data,first_block,len); #ifdef FreeBSD + bcopy(data,first_block,sizeof(first_block)); + ibp = (union infoblock *)first_block; if (ibp->l[0] == 0x0000010Bl) { printf("FreeBSD-aout\r\n"); =========================================================================== This Mail was sent to netboot mailing list by: Ken Yap <ken@nlc.net.au> To get help about this list, send a mail with 'help' as the only string in it's body to majordomo@baghira.han.de.
