Short: AROS 1.10b - Amiga Replacement OS (Amiga native binaries)
Author: Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla (digulla@aros.fh-konstanz.de) and many others
Uploader: Lennard voor den Dag (ldp@worldonline.nl)
Version: 1.10b
Type: misc/emu
Requires: OS 2.04 or better, 68020 or better
HOW TO USE THIS
---------------
There are three system modules in this archive. They are:
- alert.hook -- AROS alert.hook 41.6
- exec.strap -- AROS exec.strap 41.3
- utility.library -- AROS utility.library 41.9
These can be loaded into the system by the tool imaginatively called 'boot'.
Unpack this archive, cd into AROS, and run 'boot -h' for a summary of options.
Running 'boot' will read the file 'boot.config', which contains the names of
the modules to be loaded. These modules will now be loaded into the system and
will be a available after a reset. Don't be afraid if you see some blue and
green stripes on your screen during reset, this is a sign that 'exec.strap' has
been successfully started (gfx card owners may not see these).
You can use 'tools/printresmodules' to see all modules currently active and
available in the system. After a reset, you can easily identify the modules
you have just loaded by looking at the second field in the output. This is the
memory address of the module. ROM modules are in the range of 0x00f80000 to
0x00ffffff (not if you have softkicked a kickstart). AROS modules will have an
address in RAM.
WARNING
-------
The software in this archive is still in Alpha state. This means that it may
or may not work on your system. We appreciate it if you could drop us a message
telling us how it worked or didn't work on your machine. Please also mention
your system configuration (processor types/model/kickstart version/etc), so we
can fix the bugs.
It has been tested on an A1200/Blizzard 1230-IV/nofpu/2+8 MB/kick 39.106.
It has been compiled to run on a 68020 or better.
TECHNICAL INFO
--------------
Upon running 'boot', the modules will be loaded into the KickTagPtr/KickMemPtr
field of ExecBase. During reset, exec merges these lists with the list of
modules from ROM, with the highest version of a particular module actually
making it into the system. By default, 'boot' will not touch modules/software
that is already utilizing these KickPtrs in ExecBase. This keeps eg. RAD alive.
'boot' will not check if some AROS modules are already in the system and will
happily install duplicates. You can remedy this by running 'boot -x', which
first clears the KickPtrs before installing any new modules (killing RAD: in
the process). Running 'boot -X' will only clear the KickPtrs, and do nothing
else. Future versions of boot will examine pre-installed modules and replace
them intelligently.
Dependant on the OS version, the modules will be loaded into a particular type
of memory. Under OS 39+, they will be loaded in MEMF_KICK. This memory type was
added in that version of the OS, and guarantees that this memory is available
early on in the reset procedure. Earlier versions of the OS do not know this
type of memory, so modules will be loaded into MEMF_CHIP, which is guaranteed
to always be available at that point. If you know your fastmem is also
available early during the reset period (if it is real AutoConfig[tm] mem), you
can force the modules into MEMF_FAST, by running 'boot -f'.
More extensive information on what these modules actually do can be found in
the source archive.
