制作RAMDISK in KERNEL的NetBSD微系统

前言

在前面我们已经讲过如何制作软盘上运行的FreeBSD和OpenBSD系统，现在我们来看看如何制作一个运行在软盘上的NetBSD系统。同软盘中的OpenBSD系统一样，我们还是将系统中的所有配制文件及程序全部存放到NetBSD的内核中，这样整个系统看起来就是一个文件。下面让我们具体来看看如何完成这样一个微系统的制作。

0、NetBSD的启动过程

当硬盘MBR中的引导程序接过启动之后，MBR中的程序将读入硬盘NetBSD分区中的引导程序，引导程序默认情况下会加载/boot，然后由boot载入内核/netbsd，此时内核开始检测一些硬件和做一些初始化。初始化完成后kernel将mount root device，然后启动系统初始化进程/sbin/init，init将根据/etc/rc中的设置来进行初始化等。

1、定制RAMDISK内核

要使用RAMDISK in KERNEL就必须在内核配制文件中加入以下选项：

options MEMORY_DISK_HOOKS
options MEMORY_DISK_IS_ROOT # force root on memory disk
options MEMORY_DISK_SERVER=0
options MEMORY_DISK_ROOT_SIZE=10000 # size of memory disk, in blocks
options MEMORY_RBFLAGS=0x00 # boot in to multi-user mode
pseudo-device md 1 # memory disk device (ramdisk)

以上的内核参数意义如下：

MEMORY_DISK_ROOT_SIZE : 内存磁盘大小，以块为单位
MEMORY_RBFLAGS=0x00 : 启动到多用户模式

以下是在我机器上使用的一个内核配制文件

include "arch/i386/conf/std.i386"

#options INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE # embed config file in kernel binary

makeoptions COPTS="-Os" # Optimise for space. Implies -O2

# Enable the hooks used for initializing the root memory-disk.
options MEMORY_DISK_HOOKS
options MEMORY_DISK_IS_ROOT # force root on memory disk
options MEMORY_DISK_SERVER=1 # 0 readonly 1 writable
options MEMORY_DISK_ROOT_SIZE=10000 # size of memory disk, in blocks
options MEMORY_RBFLAGS=0x00 # boot in to multi-user mode

maxusers 48 # estimated number of users

# I/O address.

# Avoid irq 5 and 7, the most likely cause of problems on modern laptops.
options PCIC_ISA_INTR_ALLOC_MASK=0xff5f

# different kernel output - see dev/wscons/wsdisplayvar.h
options WS_KERNEL_FG=WSCOL_BLACK
options WS_KERNEL_BG=WSCOL_WHITE
# compatibility to other console drivers
#options WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_PCVT # emulate some ioctls
#options WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_SYSCONS # emulate some ioctls
#options WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_USL # VT handling
#options WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_RAWKBD # can get raw scancodes
# see dev/pckbc/wskbdmap_mfii.c for implemented layouts
#options PCKBD_LAYOUT="(KB_DE | KB_NODEAD)"
# allocate a number of virtual screens at autoconfiguration time
#options WSDISPLAY_DEFAULTSCREENS=4
# use a large software cursor that doesn't blink
options PCDISPLAY_SOFTCURSOR
# modify the screen type of the console; defaults to "80x25"
#options VGA_CONSOLE_SCREENTYPE="\"80x24\""

2、制作ramdisk镜像

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/ramdisk bs=512 count=9000
# vnconfig -c /dev/vnd0d /ramdisk
# disklabel -r -w /dev/vnd0d rdroot
# newfs -m 0 -S 512 -i 4096 /dev/vnd0a
# mount /dev/vnd0a /mnt
# mkdir /mnt/{dev,bin,sbin,etc}
# cp /dev/MAKEDEV /mnt/dev
# cp /bin/{sh,ls} /mnt/bin
# cp /sbin/init /mnt/sbin
# cd /mnt/dev/ && ./MAKEDEV ramdisk
# echo 'echo "This is my minibsd all in kernel" && /bin/sh' > /mnt/etc/rc
# sync && umount /mnt
# sync && vnconfig -u vnd0d && sync

3、将ramdisk写入kernel

# mdsetroot /minibsd ramdisk

4、压缩kernel大小

# gzip -9 -c /minibsd > /minibsd.gz

5、制作目标软盘

因为系统需要使用/boot（/usr/mdec/boot）来加载kernel，所以我们需要在软盘上放置boot文件。

# disklabel -B -w -r /dev/fd0a fd1440
# newfs -m 0 -S 512 /dev/fd0a
# mount /dev/fd0a /mnt
# cp /usr/mdec/boot /mnt
# cp /minibsd.gz /mnt/netbsd

现在你的ramdisk in kernel的mininetbsd系统就已经做好了。
