Short: NetBSD bootstrap utility Type: misc/unix The NetBSD/Amiga kernel examines the AmigaOS Autoconfig(TM) data to initialize device drivers. Sometimes this can be a problem if the kernel choses a device as a default (for example as the console) even when you want a different default. The gobsd bootstraploader ignores all boards that the Autoconfig(TM) process has marked as "shut up". Such boards aren't physically mapped at all and would probably crash the system if a NetBSD driver tries to access the board. This is where the shutup utility comes into play. It can mark any board as "shut up" and hide it from the kernel. Usage: shutup VENDOR/A/N,PRODUCT/A/N,CLEAR/S VENDOR the numeric vendor ID of the board PRODUCT the numeric product ID of the board CLEAR set this flag to clear the "shutup" mark again You can find the correct IDs with the AmigaOS showconfig command. If you have several boards of a type but only wish to disable a specific one you run shutup repeatedly until the board has been disabled, then run shutup with the CLEAR option as often as necessary to re-enable the other boards.
