      4 	boot:	     NetBSD/bebox booter.
      5 	elf2pef:     Convert ELF image to PEF image.
      6 	mkbootimage: Make bootable BeOS DR8 filesystem(a.k.a. obfs) image.
      7 
      8 
      9 boot:
     10 	enable one line and comment out other lines,
     11 	to select one console device from vga,frame buffer,serial.
     12 		vga:		CPPFLAGS+= -DCONS_VGA
     13 			e.g. S3 Trio64, ...
     14 
     15 		frame buffer:	CPPFLAGS+= -DCONS_BE
     16 			e.g. Trio64v+, Millennium I/II, Mystique 220, ...
     17 
     18 		serial:		CPPFLAGS+= -DCONS_SERIAL ...
     19 
     20 	if change CPPFLAGS after make, use 'make remake' to remake.
     21 
     22 	boot can read/exec kernel on ffs(floppy disk),cd9660(floppy disk),
     23 	attached image by elf2pef.
     24 
     25 
     26 elf2pef:
     27 	to convert
     28 		elf2pef boot boot.pef
     29 
     30 	if you want to attach kernel file into booter,
     31 		elf2pef boot boot.pef netbsd
     32 	of course can attach gzipped kernel file
     33 		elf2pef boot boot.pef netbsd.gz
     34 
     35 
     36 mkbootimage:
     37 	to make bootable floppy disk image
     38 		mkbootimage boot.pef image
     39 	or, to make direct bootable floppy
     40 		mkbootimage boot.pef > /dev/rfd0a
     41 
     42 
     43 Example of making bootable floppy disk:
     44 	% cd /sys/arch/bebox/stand
     45 	% make
     46 		cross compile environment:
     47 			do the following method instead of make,
     48 			% (cd boot; ppc-make)
     49 			% (cd elf2pef; make)
     50 			% (cd mkbootimage; make)
     51 	% elf2pef/elf2pef boot/boot /tmp/boot.pef
     52 		to attach kernel:
     53 			% gzip -c ../compile/GENERIC/netbsd > /tmp/netbsd.gz
     54 			% elf2pef/elf2pef boot/boot /tmp/boot.pef /tmp/netbsd.gz
     55 	[insert formatted floppy disk]
     56 	% mkbootimage/mkbootimage /tmp/boot.pef > /dev/rfd0a
