Hi Todd,
I've updated my CVS and i'm happy to see a working console! i've also
tryed to adapt jcurses to JOS removing several things like file-based
properties or hash tables but i've found these problems:
1. in the host build, the method console.setChar seems to not work. I've
seen several consoleXX.java in host/bytecode/jos/platform/driver, but what
is the file used in the host build ? (it seems console.java, but i think
i'm wrong!). Adding setChar should be simple, I think, it would be
required to add simple lines in jjconsol.c, but i have not understand in
which way, starting from jos.system.console, we arrive to jjconsol.c.
2. the java.lang.Integer class has some problems, i mean the method
"Integer.parseInt()" seems to not work.
3. what's happened in etherboot image ? after downloading jos-nbi.zip the
booting station hangs up. I've forgot something or is there a (millennium)
bug ?
Cheers,
Corrado.
