[comp.os.minix] Porting Minx ST v 1.1 to 68020

uzun@pnet01.cts.com (Roger Uzun) (02/21/90)

Other than the files in the kernel and sttools directories,
will there be anything else that will require cahnging to
get the ST version of Minix to run in a 68020 environment.
I am going to try and compile everything using the greenhils
C compiler, I imagine I should Ignore all of the ifdef ALCYON
stuff.

68020 port question:
There are two fine points you should not miss:
- in ST 1.1 Version, MM reads the total memory size (file main.c, get_tot_mem,
  from absolute address 0x496. Change this to a reasonable value for your
  system or use ST 1.5.0
- MM assumes that the memory begins at address 0x0 when initializing the
  hole table. Change this if appropriate.

P.S. If you have enough memory, increase NR_BUFS in fs/const.h
