Fri Feb 11 14:56:15 2000 Jakub Jelinek <jakub@redhat.com>
* RAID1 support.
* JavaStation support (js patches by Pete Zaitcev).
* Forgot to write changelog for quite some time,
so many other things...
Mon Sep 20 15:55:12 1999 Jakub Jelinek <jj@ultra.linux.cz>
* New man pages.
Fri Sep 17 15:45:11 1999 Jakub Jelinek <jj@ultra.linux.cz>
* Revamped bootable CD support. Now SILO understands
ISO9660 and RR and actual CD preparation is done
in mkisofs. See docs/CDROM.HOWTO.
* Support for cat and ls commands.
* Support for single-key (like in lilo.conf).
Mon Oct 19 18:51:23 1998 Jakub Jelinek <jj@ultra.penguin.cz>
* Initrd should be working again.
* The rotating dash should be fixed on serial console.
* A bunch of fixes here and there.
Wed Sep 30 14:40:19 1998 Jakub Jelinek <jj@ultra.linux.cz>
* Romfs support.
* Conditionals in silo.conf.
* Make CD and floppy do the combo boot.
* Fixed -r handling.
* root=/dev/fd0 gets rewritten to /dev/fd1 if the machine
has a single floppy fd1 (e.g. UltraAX).
* If you have root specified in silo.conf before any images
(that is, a default root) and you boot some custom kernel
and don't pass root= to it (and it has not been rdev'ed),
SILO will fill it in.
* Support for huge kernels on sparc64 (up to 3.5MB).
* a bunch of other changes (sorry, I did not keep notes).
Thu Apr 9 13:25:17 1998 Jakub Jelinek <jj@ultra.linux.cz>
* Allow multiple segments in linux kernel.
* Fix timeout issues on Ultra5.
Fri Mar 20 21:28:20 1998 Jakub Jelinek <jj@ultra.linux.cz>
* Support glibc.
* SS1000/SC2000 support.
* sun4u support (well, it has been in for a while, but I haven't
bothered to update ChangeLog).
Fri Aug 30 13:00:54 1996 Jakub Jelinek <jj@sunsite.mff.cuni.cz>
* A workaround for sun4c timer
* As davem suggested, when booted just with boot or auto-booted
and you have garbage in boot-file or diag-file (from previous
SunOS/Solaris bootings), you're just warned and SILO acts as if
there were no arguments at all from PROM. On the other side, if you
type wrong imagename on the PROM command line, you'll have to type
it correctly again. Also, error messages changed a bit and added
`help' keyword which shows some help screen.
* Halfway of support for Solaris SILO (bootblock will have to be
compiled under Linux still, but there will be a solaris program
which will install SILO under solaris, /sbin/silo in Linux will
stay there as well, of course) - not yet tested - do not try yet
(you have been warned).
Mon Aug 26 13:48:12 1996 Jakub Jelinek <jj@sunsite.mff.cuni.cz>
* Support for symlinks inside of ext2fs.
* Support for having second.b on an ufs partition.
Tue Aug 20 12:20:10 1996 Jakub Jelinek <jj@sunsite.mff.cuni.cz>
* A trial to support nearly all starting cylinders of partitions,
so that it will be always possible to boot from the first one (ie.
by just booting boot disk or boot sd(), as partition 0/a/sda1
(v0/v2/linux naming) is the default one for PROM). The only
requirement is that if you don't have sda1 and sda3 starting at
offsets 0, you should rerun /sbin/silo after every fdisk change
which will make any partition starting before at cylinder 0 (this
usualy includes disabled partitions as well) start at non-zero
cylinder afterwards.
* cdrom support (read README for a short HOWTO) - not yet tested.
Tue Jul 30 22:48:12 1996 Jakub Jelinek <jj@sunsite.mff.cuni.cz>
* Fixed together with Andrew Tridgell the v0 argument stuff and
mapio stuff, so that on v0 sun4c it runs ok, except some timer bugs
still
* Fixed several bugs in /sbin/silo, added -f argument to force
overwriting of boot sector
* memory.c (ensure_sun4m_mapping): Step by step checking of page
tables if it is already mapped and thus can be used for initial
ramdisk
Mon Jul 8 23:13:17 1996 Jakub Jelinek <jj@sunsite.mff.cuni.cz>
* Changed syntax for v0 proms and left partition handling for prom
* Initrd support
* Floppy support
Thu Jun 27 22:01:13 1996 Jakub Jelinek <jj@sunsite.mff.cuni.cz>
* Mostly rewritten. Thanks to David Miller, Peter Zaitcev,
Miguel de Icaza and Mauricio Plaza for their code and Eddie Dost
for shortening first stage for v0 architecture, so that it can
print SILO (512B is horribly short).
Fri Mar 22 19:05:26 1996 Mauricio Plaza Villegas <mok@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
* Ext2fs and libs are now on the distribution.
* second/prom_io.c: Allowing prom paths.
Thu Mar 21 13:59:41 1996 Mauricio Plaza Villegas <mok@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
* second/main.c: Support for booting from other disks.
Tue Mar 19 07:23:28 1996 David Miller <davem@caip.rutgers.edu>
* The first stage loader can be compiled under SunOS.
Fri Mar 15 18:03:38 1996 Mauricio Plaza Villegas <mok@nuclecu.unam.mx>
* second/prom_io.c: BUG FIXED: Block Size was hardcoded as 1024,
now it should work for other block sizes.
Thu Mar 14 19:35:51 1996 Mauricio Plaza Villegas <mok@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
* bin/uninstall: Uninstall Utility (a pretty simple one).
* second/main.c: CHAIN LOADING, Now we are able to load another
Operating System by saving the old loader and re-running it
instead of the kernel (tree steps). There are olny two reserved
words when second stage loader prompts, "halt" and "sunos". Halt
will interrupt the whole process backing you to the "ok"
prompt. Sunos will load the original loader of the original
Operating System like SunOS.
* instboot/instboot.c: BUG FIXED: Default parameters are keeped.
* second/prom_io.c (load_kernel): BUG FIXED: Other partition
loading now works.
Wed Mar 13 09:22:32 1996 Mauricio Plaza Villegas <mok@sphinx.nuclecu.unam.mx>
* second/main.c: Adding support for default partition (same
partition where the first stage is).
(readhint): Parameters from the blocktable.
* instboot/instboot.c: Adding the params support. Read old
parameters and give the chance to change them.
* storage.h (struct Block_Table): Adding a field called params so
we can have default booting parameters. Also SILO_MAGIC has
changed so we can boot without prompting, if light runs out the
machine will be able to reboot.
