Where Do We Go From Here
Now that we have created a stable cross-tools environment, we can get on to the last of our initial utilities--the initial root filesystem. In our next article, we will examine the minimum requirements which must be met to run a UNIX system, and the interrelationships between different UNIX files and utilities needed during the various stages of our 386BSD port. We then create a root filesystem containing, among others, /etc/init, /bin/sh, /dev/console, and /bin/ls (a token program), and debug it via the standalone utilities. We also discuss some of the problems encountered in filesystem downloading and validation procedures.
