switch command in /boot
Hi all,
I wrote a simple manual for the 'switch' command on /boot
that was just committed.
--------
syntax
'switch' (without any arguments) displays usage.
'switch show' display all supported parameters.
'switch <key>=<value>' style commands modify parameters.
Currently the command supports just only three parameters:
boot, rom and memory
parameter
boot
'boot' parameter indicates the boot device or the boot
order. its valid values are:
boot=std
set boot order to 'STD'.
STD means FD (-> SASI) -> ROM -> RAM.
boot=fd<N>
set primary boot device to FD0-FD3.
boot=rom
set primary boot device to ROM.
You must also set the ROM address properly.
In addition, it supports two convenient alias:
boot=inscsi<N>
set primary boot device to internal SCSI ID0-7.
It's a combination of these two commands:
boot=rom
rom=inscsi<N>
boot=exscsi<N>
set primary boot device to external SCSI ID0-7.
rom
'rom' parameter indicates the ROM boot address. its syntax is:
rom=$xxxxxx
set the ROM boot address to $xxxxxx.
('$' mark is required)
and it also supports two convenient alias:
rom=inscsi<N>
set the ROM boot address to $fc0000 + N * 4
rom=exscsi<N>
set the ROM boot address to $ea0020 + N * 4
memory
'memory' parameter indicates the memory size recorded in SRAM.
memory=12 .. set the memory size to 12MB.
maybe someone wants to implement memory=auto immediately :)
