With this switch processes (such as xconsole) can open /dev/console
without breaking login on the text or serial console. This can be
trivially triggered by enabling xdm in rc.conf and hitting
Ctrl+Alt+F1 or equivalent once booted.
The changes:
- Add entry for /dev/console or /dev/constty if missing
- If a port's had /dev/console 'on' switch it off and enable /dev/constty
- If a port did not have /dev/console 'on', leave /dev/constty off
Some ports had /dev/console off and /dev/ttyE0 enabled, presumably to
avoid just this issue. It may make sense to adjust these also (but not
in this pass)
As discussed on current-users
is of poor quality, and is now an obstacle to MP-ification. It was removed
ten years ago from FreeBSD for the same reason.
This retires a big user of the mbuf API, and will ease maintenance of the
kernel.
move all ttyE* entries that use "vt100" emulation to wsvt25 term type.
The terminfo vt220 entry lacked (correctly) a delete key entry, which
was a regression against the netbsd-5 termcap entry. On the other hand,
only a very small number of foreign systems lacks support for wsvt25
nowadays.
as the console. Now when coming up in single user mode the tset in
/.profile can set the terminal type correctly.
Note: I believe constty should be 'on' and console 'off', but thats a
separate discussion
can't find the el-torito boot image with the old syntax. This can be
fixed by removed the leading "i386/" from the -b argument, but then
the mkisofs from the current cdrtools-2.01 package won't find the boot image.
Change the graf-point specifications so that a trailing / terminates
the grafted directories. This way both versions of mkisofs can find the
boot loader.
estimate the real size and round up a bit instead. Doesn't matter much, but
produces a "better" sgi volume header.
While there, simplify a few bits and avoid grep|awk pipes.
at MAXPARTITIONS/OLDMAXPARTITIONS in kernel sources, so that it wouldn't
need to be specified separately in MAKEDEV.conf
change platform MAKEDEV.conf to contain only MD targets and nothing else;
simplify the parsing in MAKEDEV.awk accordingly
this contains information about disk partitions used by platform,
and MD MAKEDEV targets, such as 'init', MD part of 'all',
as well as any other MD-specific targets not covered by MAKEDEV.tmpl
any pipes and running other commands (eg dd).
Measurable speeds up creating pseudo ttys.
(there has to be a better way than editing 51 files! - tedious at only
6 key presses per file)
MD disktab where possible (everything but vax)
the MD disktab was often either empty, or contained entries even for disks
which support geometry autodetection (SCSI), and/or non-interesting/long
obsolete entries
the old records are still available in example disktab in
/usr/share/examples/disktab/disktab in case anyone would need them
for all platforms.
- remove now unnecessary replicated code in the various snap_md_post targets
- remove snap_md_pre; nothing uses it any more
- use ${NETBSDSRCDIR} and ${KERNSRCDIR} as appropriate
