    hi there, i’m /boot/kernel.GENERIC. you may know me as /boot/kernel, but i’ve moved to a cool new location!i love being here because it solves a lot of problems for users like you, such as “how the fuck do i set $KERNCONF properly when building a single kernel?”look for me in FreeBSD 16.0 any day now! * **(and don’t forget to say hi to my new friend, “automatically created /boot/kernel compatibility symlink”.)* offer only applicable to pkgbase users** subject to bikeshed painting #freebsd

    so Raptor gave me access to a Talos II to do some work on FreeBSD/ppc64le. first thing i noticed: the boot process is *very* unusual. it doesn't use the FreeBSD loader at all; instead it has a Linux-based firmware loader called Petitboot which can load and kexec() the FreeBSD kernel directly. however it needs a rather odd partition layout to do that:# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#/dev/nda0p2 / ufs rw 1 1/dev/nda0p1 /boot msdosfs rw 2 2i assume this is because Petitboot can't read FreeBSD UFS, so we need the kernel (which is in /boot/kernel) to be on FAT. Raptor suggested we should make the loader kexec()able instead, which seems like a good idea, but from what i can tell this platform doesn't use OpenFirmware at all, and i'm not even sure we have a PowerNV-native loader.(as you can tell, i know very little about either POWER or FreeBSD/powerpc, so this is going to be an interesting learning experience.)#FreeBSD

    I'm sooo proud of my first contribution to the #FreeBSD #Ports tree. Although it were only 3 characters. Although I don't understand what @dvl is apologizing for -- "I'm sorry, I did not mention this PR in the commit message."The only things I needed was an account at bugs.freebsd.org and this short chapter from the Porters Handbook. Wish I had time for getting more involved.https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/upgrading/#git-diff
