and current-root-is-target-root (pmax diskimage.
* Add code to check disk names (e.g., "sd0") against the current
kern.root_device sysctl (whic does *not* include a partition).
* Add new function must_mount_root():
check to see if it's the same device as the root. If not,
the current and target root partitions cannot overlap.
If they do, do statfs() on "/", and return 1 iff we get back
"root_device" as the mounted-on filesystem, otherwise zero.
* Call must_mount_root() right after the user specifies a disk as
install/upgrade target, and if it returns 1, print a message asking
them to mount root, and abort.
* Use statfs("/") mounted_from string to check if a disk partition
(e.g., "sd0a") matches the current root.
as last step of upgrade, so /etc/fstab exists after reboot.
* util.c: correct sense of test in sanity-check helper check_for().
Change variable name to `found' for readability.
* Change find_disks: after mouting target root, check for
/etc/fstab in target, and abort upgrade if not found.
* Change upgrade to check if the target root has /etc.old
before renaming the target /etc -> /etc.old. If found, abort.
(may indicates a failed upgrade.)
* Add save_etc(). saves target /etc as /etc.old, then copies back
config files we might want during upgrade, in case target is current root.
* Fix logic that fscks and mounts disks. Use subroutines to
fsck with a warning message and ok() on continue. Same for doing mounts.
* Fix bug in extract_dist(). Do NOT do target prefixing on the dist_dir,
since we didn't do target prefixing when mounting it.
(At least, NFS does't.)
* Add function to sanity-check target root.
Call after upgrade/install is done.
* Change MSG_realdir to print the strerror() of any errors.
Change target_chdir() to check if chdir() returns -1 and return errno.
* Make sure /dev exists before cd'ing there and running MAKEDEV.
* Use target_fopen() and fprintf() to write network state to disk,
to avoid inadvertent shell escapes.
* Fix silly typo in append_to_target_file. (maybe add shell quotes?)
Add more #ifdef DEBUG to target-prefixing.
* Fix niggle in creating a new resolv.conf: ctime()'s result ends in '\n',
so don't include one after the %s for the timestamp.
* Change upgrade: add the same ``disk stuff done'' message used in install,
so the user knows what's going to happen.
(is a more tailored message useful?)
* renames of files from one pathname within the target to another
(e.g., mv_within_target_or_die("/etc", "/etc.old");
* check to see if a partition name like "sd0a" is the current root
* Duplicate a file from the current root into the target root
(for copying /netbsd from RAMdisk into the target).
A no-op if the root is the install target).
Start using these where appropriate.
Change net.c to avoid losing any information when updating network
config files: where possible, do appends to files that might have more
info than we got from the user (e.g., /etc/hosts.)
Where possible, add comment saying file was created/modified by sysinst.
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.
