Hi!
geom_redboot and geom_map
( http://my.ddteam.net/hg/BASE/file/783974ced979/head/sys/geom/geom_map.c -
based on redboot)
Do same things: allow access to memory blocks on cfi/spi flash like
partitions on disk.
Redboot - Flash Image System (FIS), stored on flash
Map - like linux MTD, blocks (partitions) table hardcoded via
"hints"
I can merge them together into one geom.
geom_flash, for example.
Addition build flags may be:
GEOM_FLASH_NO_REDBOOT
GEOM_FLASH_NO_MAP
If redboot and map not excluded, then first node will see hardcoded in
hints, then try to read FIS from flash.
I need your opinions, suggestions and help with testing and including code
to main stream source tree.
PS: I can test only "map" part on my Agestar LB2.
