I am doing a very standard
wget
http://www.openbios.org/viewcvs/openbios-devel.tar.gz?root=OpenBIOS&view=tar
which is the latest snapshot file from development page
then
gunzip -c openbios-devel.tar.gz | tar xvf -
Again, something that works out-of-the-box for 99.9% of all open source
projects.
I did it again just now, and still, there is no "x" bit set on these files.
Here is what I can see in the tar file
# gunzip -c openbios-devel.tar.gz | tar tvf - | grep scripts

I'm behind a corporate proxy and still haven't figured out svn yet. That's
why I used wget and more traditional means.

You're right, with this method I don't see the x bits either. I'm using svn,
and then the bits are there.

Numerous problems running Makefile for sparc32 target
by Armistead, Jason
Taking the current snapshot from the OpenBIOS web site, I get a few problems
trying to build OpenBIOS for sparc32 as per the README file. I am using
Solaris 10 on Sparc64 (Enterprise 220R) with GCC 3.4.3
1. Permissions in the config/scripts directory do not have execute "x" bit
set. I needed to do a
chmod 755 config/scripts/*
to fix this. Otherwise I can't get past the first step in the README file
of running
config/scripts/switch-arch sparc32
2. The Makefile uses $(PWD) which is not available under "sh" shell. To get
this to work right you apparently need bash shell. Without it, the line
@ln -s $(PWD)/include/$(ARCH) $(ODIR)/target/include/asm
for the "directories" target actually links to /include/$(ARCH) because
$(PWD) is an empty string. This of course causes the make process to fail
hopelessly because the links aren't established correctly. So, there should
be a note in the README warning about this, or else the Makefile needs to be
more tolerant. I've built a lot of open source software lately as I have
been configuring my Enterprise 220R box, and OpenBIOS is the only package so
far that has failed because the shell for make was sh. Maybe bash has
become the de-facto standard shell on Linux, but on Solaris it's sh by
default, and on MinGW, it is also sh.
3. Even with all that done, I am still getting problems, this time running
make gives
bash-3.00# make
Building OpenBIOS on sparc64 for sparc32
Cleaning up... ok
Initializing build tree...ok.
Creating target Makefile...ok.
Creating config files...ok.
Building...error:

In other words, now endian.h is missing.
The only place I could find it was
bash-3.00# find ./ -name endian.h
./utils/ofclient/endian.h
bash-3.00#
Now, according to mconfig.h, we have
/* Define to 1 if you have the <endian.h> header file. */
#define HAVE_ENDIAN_H 1
so it should be doing a
#include <endian.h>
in types.h
Doing a
cp -p utils/ofclient/endian.h kernel/include
fixes the problem and I get a bit further
4. Now I get

t/include -c -o obj-sparc32/target/drivers/iommu.o drivers/iommu.c
drivers/iommu.c:15:21: asm/asi.h: No such file or directory
Again, another reference to an include file under
obj-sparc32/target/include/asm is missing.
The asi.h file can be found under arch/sparc32 directory. Maybe we need a
filesystem link added or else to copy asi.h or change the #include reference
in iommu.c
5. Finally, GCC is picking up on lots of unused variables. Do we need to
review the build.log files and do a bit of spring cleaning ?
Anyhow, that's a long enough e-mail for now.
Comments please !

dumb_memalloc
by Blue Swirl
How about this version, does the memory allocation work?
I changed the build rules a bit so that it's easier to override the
compiler.

Proper way to extract ISO of SunOS CD-ROM
by Armistead, Jason
Can you please advise the "right way" to extract an ISO CD-ROM image from
the SunOS distribution media under Windows (not Solaris / Unix / Linux !)
I've extracted SunOS 4.1.4 installation CD using Nero to get track 1 (the
only track) but it isn't giving me the same boot-up sequence as those that
have been posted to the list.
Because I'm running QEMU on Win32, I don't seem to be able to get -nographic
to work (a problem opening stdio by QEMU), so perhaps this makes the
OpenBIOS console behave differently.
Thanks

Small fixes
by Blue Swirl
I changed the obp_dumb_memalloc code to use malloc and iommu/sbus code to do
real mapping, do they still work?
I also added links to chipset documentation and rearranged Sbus code.
Initial reaction from Qemu developers about switching to OpenBIOS was very
positive.

It tried to boot from the cdrom but didn't find anything it liked there.
Or it failed to expand the alias. I seem to recall that Solaris etc use
the comma-separated args in the boot command rather than space-separated
args. Perhaps NetBSD is looking for something similar.
I think you're going to have to go grub around in the NetBSD code. :)

Interesting - it seems to be picking up the diag-file setting from OF
- the name "diag" - perhaps because "diag-switch?" is set to true. That
implies that the loader is making calls into OF and getting at least
some stuff it likes.
In any case, it's now at the BSD device prompt, which is also good. You
should be able to type in a BSD-style boot-spec here to disk, partition,
and name of the kernel here. Unfortunately Sparc-to-BSD device mapping
is a bit funky so you may have to grep through the BSD docs for details.
If you typed in "bsd" at the above prompt, it should try to load the
file named "bsd" from the default device listed above in square
brackets.

As a guess it's trying to print or create the "bootpath" and hit a bad
or uninitialized pointer - 0x7ff000. It got the total and available
memory, so at least that's good. Pity it halted instead of dropping
into the BSD debugger - you could get a stack-trace then.
It may be trying to get args from the OF "boot" command, which should
pass args to the loaded image. Perhaps it doesn't have any args, or
perhaps they're bogus?

Just rename openbios-builtin.elf.nostrip to proll.elf. I don't know if
OpenBIOS can be compiled in Solaris, please report if you try.

The attached patch to CVS version of Qemu fixes several critical problems in
Sparc emulation.

I don't think Qemu debugging switches are that helpful, but enabling
CONFIG_DEBUG_OBP in OpenBIOS shows the OBP calls.

Well, the combination didn't even exist a couple of months ago...
