Etherboot 4.5.8 released




I have released Etherboot 4.5.8 at http://etherboot.sourceforge.net/

Changes in this release:

+ Patrick Auge pointed out that -DT503_SHMEM option should be not used
by default, as the comments say.

+ Heinrich Rebehn pointed out that the documentation needed to be updated
for the new bin32 and bin16 prefixes for targets.

+ Christoph Plattner found that node_addr in struct nic should be unsigned
char * or problems occur in the handling of the MAC address in cs89x0.c.

+ Greg Hudson pointed out that inet_ntoa is misnamed, it should be
inet_aton.

+ Vsevolod Sipakoff suggested that the probe address list for NE2000
should match that of Linux. Done, with the deletion of 0x360 which often
conflicts with the parallel port at 0x378.

+ Created mknbi, a Perl utility that replaces mknbi-dos, mknbi-linux,
mkfreedosnbi, and mkromnbi. Removed mk{freedos,rom,elks}nbi/ from
contrib/.  (ELKS has its own tagged image creation method now.)

+ Removed obsolete/ from contrib/.

In particular I hope people can test out mknbi as I hope to make this
the standard utility in 4.6.0.

MD5 sums:
