[9fans] bootdir

[George Gensure]

I've been trying to rebuild a kernel to do cpu/auth (not that this is
specific to that), and cannot get a kernel to compile with a bootdir
section in the config. I read the wiki regarding bootdir, but it all
seemed to go on the premise that the scripts to set up the build worked
correctly.

From this bootdir entry

bootdir
factotum.hack factotum

mkboot generates this in bootpcauth.c

Method method[] = {
{ "factotum.hack", configfactotum.hack, configfactotum.hack
factotum },
}

anyone know how to get bootdir to work right?

This is mine for a machine using kfs.
Beware that the entry bootpcdisk.out is for a 'pcdisk' $CONF.

bootdir
bootpcdisk.out boot
/386/bin/ip/ipconfig
factotum.hack factotum
/386/bin/disk/kfs
/386/bin/redirfs
/386/bin/badsrv
/386/bin/cfs

If you are going to use scripts (as I do for my auth server),
you will need a few common tools. For example, for a cpu server
using fossil:

bootdir
/386/bin/rc
/386/bin/cat
/rc/lib/rcmain
/386/bin/bind
/386/bin/cp
/386/bin/echo
/386/bin/mount
/386/bin/sleep
/386/bin/fossil/fossil
/386/bin/venti/venti
/386/bin/disk/fdisk
/386/bin/disk/prep
/sys/lib/sysconfig/aquamar/boot
/sys/lib/sysconfig/aquamar/flproto
/sys/lib/sysconfig/aquamar/venti.conf
bootpcaquamarfl.out boot
/386/bin/ip/ipconfig ipconfig
/386/bin/auth/factotum

There's a difference between bootdir and boot.
What you posted sounds like either you have

boot
factotum.hack factotum

in your config file, or your system is a couple
months old. You can run /usr/glenda/bin/rc/pull
to update, assuming you are on the internet.

This is the current pcauth file, which compiles fine.

I had actually run replica/pull -v /dist/replica/network, but that
didn't give me any bit of a leg up in the bootdir config section.
(though it did introduce some discrepancies between addclock0link), but
I'll give pull a try later today.
Thanks all!
