Re: Booting the FreeBSD kernel as an zImage file needs a patch upgrade ?.

[Mario Marietto <marietto2008@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Warner. But the kernel.bin file should be used instead of the u-boot file as bootloader ? and will it work as expected ? even if i have patched the elliott code with the wrong patch ? thats because I havent a working patch to use that can allow the frrebsd code to be threated as an zImage file ?

Julien said that I could try to revert the commiting removing the step
to create kernel.bin,but I don't know what it means,I don't know how
to do that and I haven't found anyone who wants to explain to  me how
to do it. And I'm not sure that it will be enough.

You need to add WITH_KERNEL_BIN for it to generate a kernel.bin file.

We turned that off by default since most people don't need/can't use that

file.
