News from the m68k front ...
The version of makedev used in slink (3.1.1-11) doesn't handle the
'generic-m68k' device class. Whatever that class is supposed to contain,
the result is that several critical device files are missing:
/dev/tty*
/dev/sda*, /dev/sdb*
/dev/loop*
with obvious results when booting the ramdisk or installed base system.
Patch attached.
Other funnies:
- mac-us-ext keymap isn't a valid binary map (we had trouble with
_incomplete_ binary maps that wiped the kernel keytable on Atari
before; this is new).
- the 'configure modules' step complains about 'sed: not found',
configuring modules is impossible, dinstall keeps prompting that
step again and again.
Aside from that, ramdisk and base system are basically working
(on the one machine I tested on).
Questions:
- why a 6 MB RAM limit suddenly? Where to change that?
- where is msgfmt (not found by build.sh, ignored)? Couldn't find it
in Packages...
