Adding bootable kernel-only ISOs in addition to *.fs floppy images
I've been working and musing on bootable ISOs that don't use
floppy emulation for some time over the past few months,
mostly due to my work on g4u, which uses the new CD bootbloc
(bootxx_cd9660) and the in-tree mkisofs-replacement (makefs -t cd9660).
I've found many things where NetBSD's release build infrastructure
can be improved, and to make a start, I have collected the related
bits to offer bootable kernel-only ISOs in addition to *.fs floppy images.
Those that didn't pay attention^W^Whaven't followed the discusion
can read the
full proposal.
for all the details.
Now we'll see if someone finds this useful (or if I just go and
commit this, or lose interest over yet another pointless bikeshed
"discussion").
