From fe270d044d512a308fb1fdf02cb11db46df29cdb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Graf Date: Tue, 20 Apr 2010 19:37:13 +0200 Subject: target-s390: add firmware code This patch adds a firmware blob to the S390 target. The blob is a simple implementation of a virtio client that tries to read the second stage bootloader from sectors described as of offset 0x20 in the MBR. In combination with an updated zipl this allows for booting from virtio block devices. This firmware is built from the same sources as the second stage bootloader. You can find a virtio capable s390-tools in this repo: git://repo.or.cz/s390-tools.git Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf Signed-off-by: Aurelien Jarno --- pc-bios/README | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) (limited to 'pc-bios/README') diff --git a/pc-bios/README b/pc-bios/README index fc940a7c9..e62b4cd71 100644 --- a/pc-bios/README +++ b/pc-bios/README @@ -27,3 +27,7 @@ virtio 1af4:1000 http://rom-o-matic.net/ + +- The S390 zipl loader is an addition to the official IBM s390-tools + package.
