1483395dbe Move DOS BIOS-geometry and MBR-handling code to MI code for powerpc, arc:
* Split bios geometry and MBR partition editing code formerly in
    arch/i386/{md,fdisk}.c to mbr.c in mi  directory.
  * Leave /sbin/fdisk parsing/handling code in separate file,
    we may want to change it later. move to mi directory.
  * Create mbr.h with declarations for MBR/BIOS-geomotry code.
    #include "mbr.h" in  i386 md.h.
  * Use symbolic names for 386bsd and new NetBSD partition IDs.

Handle MBRs with both 386bsd and NetBSD partitions less stupidly.

1cfa173f7c Add symbolic names for new NetBSD MBR partition ID and for Linux. 1998-02-24 04:32:22 +00:00

0cd2d70c37 * Check for an existing MBR not by looking at the geometry, but by looking
at used partitions. fdisk may report the number of cylinders > 1024
  correctly if no translation is used.
* Print out the end of the partition as well as the size when editing things.
* Enable the user to specify the BIOS geometry if he/she wishes.
* Fix 1023 / 1024 mixup. The reason BIOSs will return 1023 is an old IBM
  convention to use the last cylinder as diagnostic cylinder. The user
  can still skip the last ('real') cylinder if specified.
* Make some messages more verbose.

af1d23bed3 Import of sysinst. Not quite ready, but other ports want access for
parallel development.  i386 version about 90% complete.  pc532 version
just started, other architectures later in coordination with portmasters.

This is a curses based, menu driven installation program.

Better error checking is needed.
