Hey there. I thought to put this here, instead of openbsd-misc, as it's a suggestion more than a question I think. Let me know if a more discussion mailer would be better.
Following troubles I've been having getting a sparc64 to boot from a softraid mirror (https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-sparc&m=156200105500984&w=2), I noticed something I think is a limitation of softraid, and would like some feedback or to suggest a change. As noted in that email above, I think I see that softraid allows for a 160kb bootloader. But, the sparc64 ofwboot is around 100kb unless you build it with the various bits of debugging enabled, at which point the one I tried to load was nearly 250kb. Unless I'm doing something wrong, or misunderstanding a hard limit I think I see in softraid, I'd like to suggest we allow softraid to allow for a larger bootloader. Is there a hard reason SR_BOOT_LOADER_SIZE cannot be raised to sometime larger, perhaps 1024 (instead of the current 320) ? - Chris
