From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Date: Sun, 7 Nov 2004 21:46:32 -1000 From: Tim Newsham To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Subject: [9fans] boot question Topicbox-Message-UUID: ff7c05bc-eacd-11e9-9e20-41e7f4b1d025 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.
