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
(prevents spurious warning for mfs /dev, amongst other things)
- for mipsco, news68k, newsmips: ensure that "umask 77" is run after $0.local
- for playstation2: add local) target, and use in all) (for consistency)
become ippp (ISDN ppp) and irip (ISDN raw IP). The character device now
are called: /dev/isdn (isdnd <-> kernel communication), /dev/isdnctl (dialing
and other control), /dev/isdntrc* (tracing), /dev/isdnbchan* (raw B channel
access, i.e. for user land PPP) and /dev/isdntel* (telephone devices, i.e.
for answering machines).
* use "ln -fs foo bar" instead of "rm -f bar; ln -s foo bar"
* remove unnecessary chown root or chgrp wheel directives; older code here
didn't bother doing this, so why be inconsistent
* when making directories, don't use -p and don't redirect stdout to /dev/null
* clean up whitespace
* wrap the main parser code in a function makedev(), and call makedev
instead of "sh $0". (this is a bit faster)
* don't barf when we have fdesc mounted; just skip the devices fdesc provides
(these files should really be automagically generated...)

"pty0 pty1 pty2 pty3" before, for a total of 64 device nodes, we now want
just "pty0" for a total of 62 -- the original commit had "pty0 pty1" for a
total of 124, which ate too many inodes and made "ls /dev" a bit messy.
The openpty() routine has been modified to use the extra pty names
before the "traditional" names, so that programs too dumb to use
openpty() will, hopefully, find one of the "traditional" ptys free
even if many others are in use. The modifications to MAKEDEV are
courtesy Andrew Brown, and are pretty clever: the unit numbers used
by the "traditional" names stay the same, to avoid trouble when
upgrading existing systems. The unusual use of "dd" to index an
array in MAKEDEV is because no other simple method seemed feasible
using only the programs on the install media for all ports.
at the end, and as wscons (actually ttyE0) is required to login on the console,
it is probably better that an out of space MAKEDEV fail on some other device.
more consistent. To quote the comment in etc/Makefile
that describes how it's done:
# This target builds the kernels specified by each port. A port may
# specify the following kernels:
#
# KERNEL_SETS The list of kernels that will be
# packaged into sets, named
# kern-${kernel}.tgz. These kernels
# are also placed in the binary/kernels
# area of the release package as
# netbsd-${kernel}.gz.
#
# EXTRA_KERNELS Additional kernels to place in the
# binary/kernels area of the release
# package as netbsd-${kernel}.gz, but
# which are not placed into sets. This
# allows a port to provide e.g. a netbootable
# installation kernel containing a ramdisk.
#
# BUILD_KERNELS Additional kernels to build which are
# not placed into sets nor into the
# binary/kernels area of the release
# package. These are typically kernels
# that are built for inclusion only in
# installation disk/CD-ROM/tape images.
#
according to cvs log of basesrc/etc/etc.sun3/ttyaction and
archive of source-changes, it was backed out with MAKEDEV
because of portability issue.
but i think ttyaction doesn't have that issue as it's never
executed on non-NetBSD environment.
boot console tty, so that the console is on the same place that the kernel
dmesg output goes, whether wscons or serial. Users who want to use tty00
or ttyE0 explicitly can change /etc/ttys themselves.
Also use "vt100" as terminal type for /dev/console (for a reasonable baseline
that also works with wscons; pccons is long since no longer default).
This addresses PR install/13249, i386-specific, but may be appropriate to
apply to all ports.
set in src/etc after a "make release" in both "src" and "xsrc", to create a
ISO-image of the release in $RELEASEDIR/installation/cdrom.
Hook for architecture dependent pre/post-processing in etc/etc.*/Makefile.inc
are available as 'iso-image_md_post' and 'iso-image_md_pre', see
etc/etc.i386/Makefile.inc as an example. Might be useful for setting up
bootable CDs on alpha, sparc, ...
