Disk on Chip support




My goal is to get my PC104 system booting off of the on board Disk-On-Chip 
2000. Currently the D.O.C. has MSDOS on it. I am booting the machine off of the 
floppy drive and have created a kernel based on the INSTALL-TINY. I then 
populate the kernel memdrive with whatever tools that I need. However the 
kernel is not seeing the D.O.C. and I'm assuming that the reason for this is 
that the driver is not installed.

I found a post in the archives that indicates that you can use the FreeBSD 
driver. It privides a link to a tarball that has everything. The readme file 
seems to be for FreeBSD and not NetBSD. I'm trying to figure out how to 
incorporate the driver into NetBSD.

The post is here...
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-embed/2003/01/22/0001.html

What exactly do I need to do to incorporate this driver into the kernel? I have 
copied the driver into the sys/dev/fla directory. I assume that I need to make 
an entry into the config file. The readme file states that I must do the 
following for pre-4.0 FreeBSD kernels

config          kernel  root on major 28 minor 65538

so I put in
config          netbsd root on major 28 minor 65538

When I did this I got the following startup message

unknown device major 0x10001c02

I guess I'm missing something? Any ideas?

Thanks.


Brian
