hubertf 6e0ce16052 Call the partition type 'type' instead of 'kind'.
Less confusing, and in sync with common terminology.

Found while walking someone through the installation on IRCnet #NetBSD...

snj 127531e055 We prefer "file system" over "filesystem". 2005-01-09 19:58:55 +00:00
dsl 7ef7a3f227 Checkpoint a load of changes - seems to work ok still.
- rework run_prog() so that the program name (etc) is usually displayed if
  the program generates any output, or terminates with an error.
  Allow arguments to included in single quotes.
  Try to collect console output so it doesn't interfere with curses.
- Add a '*' to the cylinder count if non-integral number of cylinders
  (on disklabel editor)
- Only show partition type for unused partitions.
- Show size including unused space on '+' partition, remove a..z since
  the don't relate to partition IDs (netbsd partition sizes)
- Fix deleting of 'user' partitions - killed size of next ptn.
- Don't default a swap partition is the disk already has one.
- Fix deleting of extended MBR partitions - changed size of ptn 2.
- Show error message if user tries something illegal in mbr editor.
- Default to old diskname (actually disk type - dunno why!)
- Use MI enable_rc_conf() to set RC_CONFIGURED=YES, use a single sed
  command instead of a raft of code playing with files etc.
- Float some menus to just below header text, saves counting and lets
  language variants have different height headers (use y=-1)
- Track whether anything is mounted on /mnt2 better.
- Put more texts into message file.
- Change english prose texts to be more correct.
- Stop french and polish versions core dumping if ptn start/size changed.
- Fix processing logic for saving /etc (action is still borked)
- Do tail-end setup if any sets (eg X) can't be found (but not if you give
  in (yet)).

dsl 98b66fc660 Use new kern.root_partition sysctl to find out whether we are installing
over the current root (ie the one we are booted from).
Remove all the stuff that tried to find this out by other means.
A few other message changes.

dsl a2d5357066 Fix code that guesses bios geometry from mbr info.
When asking for bios geometry, ask for sectors per track and heads
then calculate cylinders from volume size.
Write MBR_MAGIC into correct place when writing extened partitions.

dsl 17ae477780 Implement a limit on the size of / so that its guaranteed readable by the boot code.
Remove pointless 'len' parameter from read_mbr and write_mbr.
Make read_mbr initialise mbr if it can't be read (delete MD code).
Make i386 always ask at least once about the bootcode.
Move LIB_MOVE and LIB_COUNT from md.h to aout2elf.c

dsl deef134ca4 Fix code that determines BIOS CHS from MBR - used to get confused by big disks.
Make same function return useful defaults if it can't find an answer.
Make all ports default to the useful defaults if bios geometry is unknown.
Move some messages to mbr set from mi set.
Fix i386 code that selects which bios disk, simplify interface to menus.
Remove now unnecessary global data from many ports.

dsl 6a7cda9698 Move a couple of messages into msg.mbr.??
Remove some unused menus and messages from the ports that use mbr.c
(I'll re-implement the 1024 cylinder limit properly soon...)

dsl 9fb220ed6a Pull menu/msg files for setting up the mbr out of the md set.
The md code will pull in the correct set of menu and messages.
(the msg.mbr.fr has an untranslated message - volunteers?)
