before extracting sets, so do not try to delete them after install.
Now the '/.profile' from etc.tgz will actually be left after install
Note: bebox, evppc, and sandpoint still have a md_copy_filesystem() which
dumps a copy of the install filesystem into the target before extracting,
so I've left them removing /.profile /.termcap and /sysinst after install.
(1) By moving the "Choose your partition" menu up one line, we gain two
lines, since the scroll... message is gone.
(2) With the mac68k MAXPARTITIONS == 8, we only need 7 lines for the
partition table, which does not display the 'c' partition.
After both changes, the display fits nicely on an 80x24 screen even
for a full partition table. Should mac68k want to bump MAXPARTITIONS,
though, the partition table needs to be scrollable.
label looks like an autogenerated "whole disk" label, make sure that
we adjust the 'a' partition when we create an MBR that does not start
right at the start of the disk. Also when we force this partition to be
mounted, init it's mount point to / and force a newfs.
- Make MULTIPROCESSOR mandatory on i386.
Installation changes:
- Update installation section of release notes to match reality.
- Rename INSTALL to INSTALL_FLOPPY, retire INSTALL_LARGE.
- Build INSTALL kernel from GENERIC, like on amd64.
- Update boot menu to allow disabling ACPI and/or SMP.
- Remove GENERIC.NOACPI from the installed kernel list.
- TODO: install default boot.cfg in etc.tgz.
- TODO: possibly enable PCI fixup stuff at runtime if ACPI is disabled.
Build changes:
- No longer build ALL, it's for verification, is slow to build and the
build process is already crippled by the number of kernels built.
- No longer build GENERIC.NOACPI.

Previously, i386/amd64, mac68k and sgimips were using `md_init' to set the

In Hauke's words: "Basically, the mac68k md_make_bsd_partitions() function,
which replaces the MI make_bsd_partitions() because the mac68k port does not
have an on-disk BSD disklabel, neglected to sign up BSD partitions for
newfs'ing and mounting by setting the appropriate flags."

Fixes PR/33682 and PR/32636 (and 33228 which has alrady been closed

I think the code it correct - but since it is only relevant when setting
the default boot partition (for mbr_bootsel) to an extended partition
it probably doesn't matter too often!
1) Add an md_post_extract() function. This function is called after
extracting the sets, and allows the arch to do something at that time.
In the case of prep, it is much easier to install the bootcode after all
the sets are extracted, so we do it in md_post_extract(). Added empty
md_post_extract() functions to all other arches so they compile.
2) Add md_mbr_use_wholedisk() and md_check_mbr(). In edit_mbr() I have
split off the code that uses the whole disk for NetBSD, into the
mbr_use_wholedisk() function. On most ports that use mbr.c, I made
md_mbr_use_wholedisk() just call that and return. On prep we create the
magical prep boot partition here. The md_check_mbr() function allows the
arch to add additional checks after the user had manually edited the MBR
to make sure the choices he made allow NetBSD to function. Added a dummy
routine to all mbr.c using arches.
3) Added code to bsdlabel.c to create a partition of type boot if
PART_BOOT is defined, but BOOT_SIZE is not defined. Also added two more
globals "bootsize" and "bootstart" which must be seeded in order to do
so. This is done on prep in md_check_mbr().
4) Added MBR_PTYPE_PREP to the list of MBR partitions.
5) Made the prep port actually install sanely. It now creates a prep
boot partition, labels it correctly, installs all the sets, and then runs
mkbootimage and dd's the bootimage into the prep partition. The result
is a prep installer that creates a bootable NetBSD installation
automatically.
6) Edited the prep menus and messages files to add new labels. In the
case of the translated files, I just added the words in english for
someone to translate later.
I tried to xcompile a few arches to make sure I didn't break anything,
but I could have missed something. Please let me know if I have broken
your arch in any way. I'll watch the autobuilds for the next few days
too. For all ports other than prep there should be no functional changes
at all.

selection (eg selecting the X sets).
libcurses got changed earlier in the year so that the erase (and refresh)
of the message window caused all the unchanged spaces to be redrawn
overwriting most of the main set selection window.
It is worth remembering that trailing spaces are significant in the message
files - they cause a line break if the text is auto-filled to the RH margin.
(This is often the case when the text is a format string.)
Note: nothing (yet) checks the number (or type) of the format effectors in
the message strings. I found and fixed one big error, but others will
cause core dumps.
