Subject: [9fans] boot question
Date: Sun, 7 Nov 2004 21:46:32 -1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.BSI.4.58.0411072143100.24294@malasada.lava.net> (raw)
I've been reading through the kernel to try to figure this one
out but I still don't get it.
The port specific data builds an *init* process to fire off
the machine. This process does an exec of "/boot". The
config file causes a "boot" file to be added to the devroot
when main calls links(). However, it looks like the "boot"
file is added under the "/boot" directory of devroot, right?
How does the exec get to the boot file (/boot/boot? or is it
/boot/boot/boot? After I log in to a running system /boot and
/boot/boot are directories). Is there some bind/mount operation
somewhere that I'm missing?
Tim N.
