db9fae484c Use installboot to install bootblocks for i386/amd64, now that
they are included on all boot media.

Some of the previous method of setting the console (and conspeed, when
using serial console) is retained, but it should probably be reworked.

Also, adapt to the fact that we may be installing to a disk wedge.

With this change, it is now possible (but still ugly) for sysinst to
create a bootable GPT-labeled disk.

0d704fc1a2 Make it a warning, otherwise the missing noreturn will fail the build. 2014-08-06 12:34:42 +00:00

4b2364d962 (Finally) merge a slightly modified version of the 2012 GSoC results
from Eugene Lozovoy: add extended partitioning options to sysinst.
Still needs some testing and polishing, but it now is possible to use GPT
or to create a RAID set from scratch and install onto it.

4808d892e4 Add a dummy sysinst architecture for ports that don't have their own yet.
This makes the presence of sysinst in /usr/sbin MI (as intended) --
remember that one of the goals is for sysinst to be able to install
chroots, and installing a chroot is a sensible operation on all ports,
even those for which an installer per se might not make sense.

Currently this dummy architecture fails instead of doing anything, but
as they say, one thing at a time.

50dbef1a09 Move sysinst sources to usr.sbin.
This commit only physically moves the sources - there are no other
changes, to maximize the probability that this will be treated as a
rename if we ever do manage to migrate away from CVS.

Moving sysinst has been discussed on and off for years and has two
goals: making it easier to work on sysinst, and also making sysinst
available on running systems for use installing chroots and VM images
and other such things. None of the latter is possible yet, but as they
say, one thing at a time.

Doing this now was approved in an impromptu fashion by mrg, riz,
riastradh, me, and groo.
