* 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.
in menus.md.{eng,fr}, lifted verbatim from Alpha and pmax.
Give last split-floppy for each X11 set, for 1.3.
FIXME: if the number of floppies in any split set changes for 1.3.1,
syinst is hosed for 1.3.1. Same is true for any release: we can't
install from split sets if the count of floppies doesn't match
the precompiled version.
The number of floppies in a split set should be computed dynamically
from a directory listing, or read from a config file in the split
directory.
* Add cp_to_target() to copy a file from current root, to an absolute
path relative to target root.
* Clean up alpha, arm32, i386, pmax MD code: use cp_to_target()
NB: Alpha uses target_expand() when calling installboot.
* Add tests for target == current root. Intended to support
`upgrade/reinstall' to current root, either for testing or easier
minor-release upgrades. Only tested on pmax.
same for floppies (from Christoph Badura)
* allow user to run 'Configure network' multiple times, to correct errors
for example.
* deal with network interfaces that need explicit media type selection
(i.e. ask for it when it is needed, also store it in the generated
/etc/ifconfig.blah file on the destination disk)
(like upgrade but without trying to save etc.
* Add option to setls0urce menu to look in an already-mounted (local)
directory. Change `local fs' option to say umounted local fs.
* Change extract_file() to check that a tarball actually exists
and give an explicit non-curses warning if it doesn't. (see above.)
* GNU tar returns a successful status if its gunzip child dies.
Add short sleep() after tar commands in case of undetected errors.
* Change set-source selection code (except FTP, floppy) to check
that the mandatory set files (base.tgz, etc.tgz) exist
in the selected directory. If they don't, warn the user and
prompt the user to change the selected directory.
Give the user the option to explicitly continue even if
base.tgz or etc.tgz not found, just in case.
* Change extract_file() to keep count of set unpacks that succeeded
or failed. (Unreliable, given the broken return status of gnu tar.)
Warn the user if there are errors and abort the installation/upgrade
if we find any. Does at least catch Ctrl-C interrupts of unpacking.
* Make unwind_mounts() signal-safe.
* Sense of target_verify_* is broken. Replace with predicates that
return 1 iff the file or directory exists.
* Fix upgrade tests for existing etc.old (see above) before saving
target /etc as /etc.old.
* Other detail fixes.
* Add `partinfo' type, for description of a single partition,
so we can pass labels by reference..
* Add label.c with label initialization, naive overlap-check code,
and a UI entrypoint edit_and_check_label() which iterates through
checking a label for overlaps, and if any, giving the user the choice of
fixing them or punting back to the main menu.
* Change return type of md_make_bsd_partitions from void to int.
Return 0 if the partition has problems (or the user gave up on it)
and 1 if the partition is completed and looks OK.
* Change install() to check return value of md_make_bsd_partitions().
If it returns zero, print an `abort' message and return to main menu.
* Add label.c to all ports' Makefile.
MD code tested on pmax and cut-and-pasted to other ports.
* Add mount_with_unwind() that adds mountpoint to a LIFO queue
of mountpoints to undo on error. Use in target_mount().
* Add unwind_mounts() which traverses the LIFO queue and unmounts
filesystems, silently ignoring errors.
* create toplevel() function which displays banner message and
calls unwind_mounts().
* change toplevel menu to call toplevel() instead of inline banner.
Where to do unwinds needs more thought. Perhaps we should only unwind
if an upgrade or install appears unsuccessful, so after a successful
install, the target is mounted (e.g., for upgrading /etc/rc.conf).
