Boot floppies 2.2.19
I have now tagged boot floppies 2.2.19 (release_2-2-19) in CVS. Here's
the changelog:
boot-floppies (2.2.19) stable; urgency=low
* PowerPC fixes:
- Update kernel version to 2.2.18pre21
- Fix the miBoot command line options not to try to force atyfb
(should fix color issues on some mach64 cards)
- Create /dev/nvram on the root disk
- Add nvsetenv and ofpath, as well as fixing the paths for yaboot
- No longer include System.map on the HFS (powermac) boot floppy
(there isn't enough room with the new kernels)
- en/dbootstrap.sgml updates from Ethan Benson to match the new ybin
- Bail out earlier in the boot floppy creation process if we can't do
it on this architecture
- Make CHRP rescue.bin be DOS formatted. Perhaps the same thing
needs done to PReP - can PReP even boot FAT images?
- Populate /dev/input in the base tarball - adbmouse and friends no
longer work with the new kernels.
* Build with packages from proposed-updates:
- ncurses 5.0-6.0potato1
- modutils 2.3.11-13.1
- dpkg 1.6.15.2 (sparc only)
- kernel 2.2.18pre21 / pcmcia 3.1.22-0.1* (all relevant flavors)

This needs to be rebuilt for all architectures because of security
fixes. Be sure that you use a current potato mirror, and grab the
packages listed above from proposed-updates (well, actually, I lied -
ncurses and modutils are in incoming as I write this). Be careful -
modutils is not built for all architectures yet. I'm working on that
now. Don't confuse -13.1 with the three other broken security
releases (-11 and -12 and -13).
The build is going now; unless someone screams very loudly, I'll do
source and powerpc uploads as soon as it is done.
