exists, and use the 'c' (raw) partition for boot code installation
instead of the 'a' partition (which will not work). This should fix
the problem that newly-partitioned and newly-installed disks will not
be made bootable by sysinst.

yet (which happens to not affect umlauts, but sharp-s (0xdf))
The Iyonix is a desktop machine from Castle Technology, based on a 600MHz
XScale[tm] 80321 processor.
* Uses the bootloader from NetBSD/acorn32, which is now 32-bit compatible.
* Currently boots multiuser with a serial console.
* Device support is not yet complete.

Move info about cylinders to the 'ask for units' menu.
(translations need checking, done by cutting sentences)
Stop i386 always asking for units.
Use BIOS cylinders for MBR and disk cylinders for the disklabel.
(code intended to do this, but got it wrong...)
Mark some menus as 'sub menu' or MC_SUBMENU so that the screen underneath
is saved.
Add GENERIC.MPACPI to i386 menu.
and bcylsize (bios cylinder size) can be calculated in the one place
it is needed.
The ask_sizemult() call will go once I decide what to to with the
(slightly useful) explanatory text about cylinder alignment.
a single function, the latter is now the return value of get_ramsize().
Changed all uses of rammb to get_ramsize().
Used the 64bit HW_PHYSMEM64 so silly things don't happen if the memory size
approaches (or even exceeds) 4GB.
Save the result in /etc/wscons.conf at the end of the install/upgrade.
Currently only builds for i386 - change arch/*/Makefile and add the
extra messages (though they could go into the msg.mi.* files).
Needs the 'Keyboard type' message translated in to German, French and polish.
Maybe the keyboard type names could be less cryptic...
I've made the error retry loops go back as far as the input menus.
Split all the pathname inputs into 2 pieces (base directory and set directory).
Reduced the size of some fixed strings.
Stopped the install aborting if ftp can't find a set (eg the X ones).
The French and Polish transations don't differenciate between Base_dir and
Set_dir - but that can be fixed later.
Convert ' ' to 0 to ensure a valid device name is genarated.
(This will be a problem in 'upgrade' when filesystems are mounted
using the targets extisting /etc/fstab.)
written into the correct place - even if the user decides not to update
the mbr code and has the old (pre layout change) code installed.
Tell the user that the mbr code needs updating if the new install uses
'all the disk' and teh old version had the bootselect code (otherwise you
get an empty menu).
Probably fixes PR install/25146
use union to align struct fs
don't check error return from fsck upgrade/downgrade runs
use RUN_DISPLAY | RUN_PROGRESS when running upgrade runs
don't use opendisk
much the same function).
Mainly some extra comments, also moved a 'static' so we use 512bytes of
stack and not static data. Killed call to access() as it is pointless
and doesn't do what you want (access is for suid programs to check whether
the real user could do the operation).
that has holes.
This needs the 'bios sectors per track' before it has been setup - so we
default it to the 'hardware' value. Since both numbers are 63, and this only
affects the size of the headers on extended partitions it should be safe.
leave 4 bytes for the Windows NT Drive Serial Number (DSN) at 440-443
(as mbr_sector.mbr_dsn).
Ensure that all the MBR & PBR code reserves space for mbr_sector.mbr_dsn.
Leave the bootsel magic number at 444-445 as mbr_sector.mbr_bootsel_magic
(instead of mbr_sector.mbr_bootsel.mbrbs_magic), but use 0xb5e1 (MBR_BS_MAGIC)
instead of 0xaa55 (MBR_MAGIC) to indicate that this change has occurred.
Rework MBR_BS_NEWMBR to mean "mbr_bootsel has moved to 400".
Modify fdisk(8) to automatically relocate the mbr_bootsel from 404 to 400
if mbr_bootsel_magic is the old value (0xaa55), and unset MBR_BS_NEWMBR
to flag that new mbr_bootsel code must be used if updating the MBR.
These changes fixes a problem where Windows 2000 or Windows XP would corrupt
the last 3 bytes + NUL of MBR partition 3's bootsel name if the bootsel name
was 5 characters long, replacing bytes 6-9 with the DSN.
Also, by explicitly reserving the space for the DSN we prevent problems in the
future if non bootsel MBR or PBR code had other information at bytes 440-443.
DISTRIBVERDEP in Makefile.distrib, and make both sysinst and
distribution notes use that information so that they rebuild
if the kernel version changes.
Distribution notes didn't have this before, sysinst had a private
(now outdated, since sys/sys/param.h now determines version) copy
of this.
Don't write out dummy extended partitions for unused ares in the extended
partition.
Add some more comments - I write this and I couldn't remember how it worked.
- Rename run_prog() to run_program() and remove the 'errmsg' argument (almost
never used).
- Be consistent about #define<space> in defs.h
- Allow BSDFFS partitions to be FFSv1 or FFSv2 (fixes PR install/23547)
- i386: install correct bootblocks for root filesystem type.
- Do 'fsck -p' before all mounts (but never a full fsck), rename fsck_xxx()
to mount_xxx() and remove some wrapper functions.
- Allow root to be an APPLEUFS partition - and allow them to be newfsed,
should fix PR install/23198
- Redo fstab processing for upgrade to avoid large static data items and
memory leaks. Change walk() to abort on user defined error.
(the fstab stuff really needs more work though...)
- i386: 'Warp' cursor to alternate option when selecting console/bootblocks,
should fix PR port-i386/23546.
- Allow MENU_ok and MENU_yesno to take user defined title.
- Ensure that mountpoint not defined for swap (and similar issues) when
editing netbsd label.
- Tweaks to error handling in run_program(), allow user to say that errors
are expected or that the display shouldn't be cleared before returning.
- Remove some old code that has been festering under #if 0
down to a cylinder boundary before adding in the requested size.
Stops the partition being one cylinder larger than requested when the
partition doesn't start at the beginning of a cylinder (eg for partitions
starting in sector 63).
Fixes part of PR install/23548
Tweak dependency rules for (menu|msg)_defs.h so that everything isn't
recompiled if the xxx_def file has changed but the generated header
is unaffected.
* use cd0a rather than cd0[cd] as the CDROM installation device.
This fixes problems with platforms that install from iso9660 images
encapsulated in a partition, and should not affect platforms that
don't.
* add RUN_PROGRESS to the run_prog() flags for ftp installs.
Okay'ed by David Laight.
