the boot blocks on the existing mounted root file system, and
eliminating references to bootxx_ufs.
I referenced the a partition even though most other ports seem to
reference the c partition. I don't know if that's the most correct
way to do it, but it seems to work for me and no one can tell me what
the canonical method is. I'd let someone else fix the man page but no
one seemed to want to and it really needed the example.
* Rename "config.h" to "nbtool_config.h" and
HAVE_CONFIG_H to HAVE_NBTOOL_CONFIG_H.
This makes in more obvious in the source when we're using
tools/compat/config.h versus "standard autoconf" config.h
* Consistently move the inclusion of nbtool_config.h to before
<sys/cdefs.h> so that the former can provide __RCSID() (et al),
and there's no need to protect those macros any more.
These changes should make it easier to "tool-ify" a program by adding:
#if HAVE_NBTOOL_CONFIG_H
#include "nbtool_config.h"
#endif
to the top of the source files (for the general case).
* Don't bother prefixing commands with a line of ${_MKCMD}\
and instead rely upon "make -s". This is less intrusive on
all the Makefiles than the former. Idea from David Laight.
* Rename the variables use to print messages. The scheme now is:
_MKMSG_FOO Run _MKMSG 'foo'
_MKTARGET_FOO Run _MKMSG_FOO ${.TARGET}
From discussion with Alistair Crooks.
the same string into "last message repeated N times", and instead forces
syslogd to write out every message.
Based on '-c' in FreeBSD's syslogd, although a different option letter was
chosen because their syslogd requires '-c -c' to get this functionality,
and we don't have the support for logging to pipes which is what FreeBSD's
syslogd with a single '-c' is related to.
first three bytes to determine how much of the BPB to preserve.
Supported values:
eb 3c 90 FAT16 BPB
eb 58 90 FAT32 BPB
(anything else) don't preserve any BPB
This is because the BPB is generally only the FAT16 one except in the
bootxx_msdos case, where it's the larger FAT32 one.

<sys/bootblock.h>:
* Added definitions for the Master Boot Record (MBR) used by
a variety of systems (primarily i386), including the format
of the BIOS Parameter Block (BPB).
This information was cribbed from a variety of sources
including <sys/disklabel_mbr.h> which this is a superset of.
As part of this, some data structure elements and #defines
were renamed to be more "namespace friendly" and consistent
with other bootblocks and MBR documentation.
Update all uses of the old names to the new names.
<sys/disklabel_mbr.h>:
* Deprecated in favor of <sys/bootblock.h> (the latter is more
"host tool" friendly).
amd64 & i386:
* Renamed /usr/mdec/bootxx_dosfs to /usr/mdec/bootxx_msdos, to
be consistent with the naming convention of the msdosfs tools.
* Removed /usr/mdec/bootxx_ufs, as it's equivalent to bootxx_ffsv1
and it's confusing to have two functionally equivalent bootblocks,
especially given that "ufs" has multiple meanings (it could be
a synonym for "ffs", or the group of ffs/lfs/ext2fs file systems).
* Rework pbr.S (the first sector of bootxx_*):
+ Ensure that BPB (bytes 11..89) and the partition table
(bytes 446..509) do not contain code.
+ Add support for booting from FAT partitions if BOOT_FROM_FAT
is defined. (Only set for bootxx_msdos).
+ Remove "dummy" partition 3; if people want to installboot(8)
these to the start of the disk they can use fdisk(8) to
create a real MBR partition table...
+ Compile with TERSE_ERROR so it fits because of the above.
Whilst this is less user friendly, I feel it's important
to have a valid partition table and BPB in the MBR/PBR.
* Renamed /usr/mdec/biosboot to /usr/mdec/boot, to be consistent
with other platforms.
* Enable SUPPORT_DOSFS in /usr/mdec/boot (stage2), so that
we can boot off FAT partitions.
* Crank version of /usr/mdec/boot to 3.1, and fix some of the other
entries in the version file.
installboot(8) (i386):
* Read the existing MBR of the filesystem and retain the BIOS
Parameter Block (BPB) in bytes 11..89 and the MBR partition
table in bytes 446..509. (Previously installboot(8) would
trash those two sections of the MBR.)
mbrlabel(8):
* Use sys/lib/libkern/xlat_mbr_fstype.c instead of homegrown code
to map the MBR partition type to the NetBSD disklabel type.
Test built "make release" for i386, and new bootblocks verified to work
(even off FAT!).
