Note that sparc64/dokern.sh only changes the kernel ident and removes nothing. The sparc64 boot.flp is used as the boot image for the CDROM. The fact that it has a .flp is a pure side affect of release/Makefile's legacy assumption that every platform has boot floppies. Yet another way that release/Makefile needs a *major* over haul. I'd take that on, but I know the resulting argument that would entail.Received on Mon May 19 2003 - 23:34:26 UTC
