Add COMPAT_60 code for platforms where this alters userland-accessible

Make kernel print device information when a ccd configured.
Fix some typos in comments.
create lfs fstab entries with fsck disabled, and instead patch
fsck_lfs to exit successfully without doing anything when given the -p
(bootup preen) option. If you really want to do fsck_lfs -p, you can
do fsck_lfs -f -p to make it go.
This has been sitting in my todo queue since February 2010 and was
ok'd by the committer at the time. The original commit was based on
this post:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-kern/2010/02/09/msg007306.html
and I remain unconvinced that it's the right thing, but we can at
least do it properly and not ship a sysinst with -7 that creates
permanently wrong fstab files.
Note that this may cause problems for anyone who's taken -p out of the
bootup fsck flags; but doing that is wrong, so don't.

Take FAT1 and it'll infinitely loop. This fix will complete
your previous commit.
Move the documents that are papers to /usr/share/doc/papers.
Give them suitable names (including the author and year).
The key property of papers that distinguishes them from documentation
is that they're historical: they're published at a particular time and
aren't updated or maintained. (Except cosmetically.)
We should only ship papers that are of interest to users, either for
historical perspective or because they're the original research
writeup of stuff that went into the system and is still pertinent.
The ffs papers clearly meet this standard; the other one here (about
passwords, in 1978) is probably past its sell-by date.
Update the <bsd.doc.mk> infrastructure, and update the docs to match
the new infrastructure.
- Build and install text, ps, pdf, and/or html, not roff sources.
- Don't wire the chapter numbers into the build system, or use them in
the installed pathnames. This didn't matter much when the docs were a
museum, but now that we're theoretically going to start maintaining
them again, we're going to add and remove documents periodically and
having the chapter numbers baked in creates a lot of thrashing for no
purpose.
- Specify the document name explicitly, rather than implicitly in a
path. Use this name (instead of other random strings) as the name
of the installed files.
- Specify the document section, which is the subdirectory of
/usr/share/doc to install into.
- Allow multiple subdocuments. (That is, multiple documents in one
output directory.)
- Enumerate the .png files groff emits along with html so they can be
installed.
- Remove assorted hand-rolled rules for running roff and roff widgetry
and add enough variable settings to make these unnecessary. This
includes support for
- explicit use of soelim
- refer
- tbl
- pic
- eqn
- Forcibly apply at least minimal amounts of sanity to certain
autogenerated roff files.
- Don't exclude USD.doc, SMM.doc, and PSD.doc directories from the
build, as they now actually do stuff.
Note: currently we can't generate pdf. This turns out to be a
nontrivial problem with no immediate solution forthcoming. So for now,
as a workaround, install compressed .ps as the printable form.
write permission when we're setting flags, and ucom(4) has an
existing workaround for a bug when O_RDWR is not used, and thus
ttyflags would not work for ucom devices.
values. For example:
fdisk -f -i /dev/rsd0d # initialize mbr and create an msdos partition.
fdisk -f -u -0 -a -s 169/-1/-1 /dev/rsd0d # converts the msdos partition
to a netbsd one, and makes it active.
The -H, -L and -P options are ignored unless the -R option is
specified. In addition, these options override each other and the
command's actions are determined by the last one specified.
Add:
The default is as if the -P option had been specified.
to create/resize an aligned one failed. This simplifies the code
and prevents surprises. If the user wants an unaligned partition
in the case where an aligned one fails, they can simply retry the
command without the "-a" option. This change was requested by
wiz@, and after some thought I agree with it.
Use less bogus CHS addresses in PMBR.
With the ending head set at 0xff one machine I have will never leave
the initial startup screen if such a disk is present. Additionally,
Wikipedia suggests without citiation that 254 is the maximium allowable
value for the head, and this seems to be the case.
This would be a problem only when allocating a new data block and the
indir block is already allocated, which explains why automated tests didn't
find it.
Problem reported on tech-kern@ and fix tested by manu@.
- s/-b number/-b blocknr/
- s/-s count/-s sectors/
- s/-p count/-p partitions/
In the program:
- s/-b lba/-b blocknr/
- s/-s lba/-s sectors/
This makes the documentation in the manpage and the program consistent
and makes it more clear what the parameters are. Also, "-s lba" was
just plain wrong since LBA stands for Logical Block Address[ing], and
the -s option didn't represent any kind of address, but rather a size.
-a alignment -- attempt to align the start and size of the partition
-l label -- supply a label for the partition
These options were inspired by FreeBSD's gpart(8) command, but the
code was written by me.
figure out how to enable mounts for unprivileged users. (Why don't we
just explain vfs.generic.usermount in the mount(8) man page?)
Also add another example of different ways in which the "special"
argument is interpreted by different file systems: mount_tmpfs(8)
ignores it.
- typo; the label command labels partitions, not remove them
- migrate -s isn't applicable to NetBSD
- add information about the space required for migration
- add a "gpt show -l" example
