I don't know exactly which devices are sun specific but I need sunmouse, kbd & fb0 at least in addition to a generic set. I think these ones are good candidates for generic-sparc: system, std, floppy-small, ttyS0, ttyS1, ttyS2, ttyS3, links, printer, isdn-tty, isdn-io, sunmouse, /* gpm */ framebuffer,kbd, /* needed for X11 */ audio, std-tty, std-hd, scd, st, sg Have you also planned to split boot-floppies by architecture? if so you can make a boot-floppies-sparc target like this one: system, std, floppy-small, ttyS0, ttyS1, ttyS2, ttyS3, links, sunmouse, printer, std-hd, scd, st, ptyp, ttyp, small-consoles, small-vcs, tty, nfs ^^^ I need a device for nfs-root partition. Actually I use /dev/nfs declared as block device, major 0, minor 1, but I don't know if these attributes are really used. Kernel documentation about nfsroot says that it's not a real device but just a synonym to tell the kernel to use NFS instead of a real device. To be able to boot via network on Sparc, I have to create this device on the server's mount point (I put it in a root.tgz image that looks like root.bin from boot floppies).
