read/write that much. Previously, too much was written back to
disk (although it didn't do any harm because of the sequence
of execution).
Also, upgrade the MBR type from 386bsd -> NetBSD if needed during
an upgrade operation.
Check if there's no active partition after MBR editing.
Ask for own MBR to be installed if we're booting from out of CHS range.
Ask for bootselector to be installed if > 1 OS, and configure it.
- in run_prog(), do an explicit wclear(stdscr); wrefresh(stdscr);
before launching subwindows. This seems to solve all the display
problems associated with run_prog().
enter partitions offet and size. The user can chose unit independantly of
the unit used for display ('M'/'c'/'s'). These functions do the proper
bound checks and alignement/roudups. Used in the edfspart menu and
i386 md_make_bsd_partitions() (other ports should do the change as
well).
- now that getpartsize() does the rigth thing, kill the swapadj hack (which was
buggy anyway).
- in i386 md_make_bsd_partitions(), don't propose defaults that don't fit on
the disk. If the disk is too small, fallback to custom instead.
- fix a bug in mbr.c, where the partition flags would not have always been
reset. sysinst created me a MBR with 2 active partition. The boot code
doesn't like it :)
- added a message for eventual mount failures.
- killed donewfs and extracting messages, as we run the commands in a
subwindow these messages just flashed on the screen.
- Changes a few exit(1) to return(1), to give the user a second chance.
- added msg_clear() or wclear(stdscr) in a place or two, to make
display a bit nicer.
- in run_cmd(), if the command succeeded, don't wait for the user to
press enter.
- Make all the functions called from do_install() return an error code,
so that we can abort install if something went wrong.
- Add a 'errstr' argument to run_prog(), which if not NULL is displayed
with msg_printf() and followed by process_menu(MENU_ok) if the command fail.
Used to warn the user that the current action is aborted.
- in a few places use msg_display() or msg_printf() rather than printf.
It seems that stdout/stderr are not always pointing to the active curses
window.
- garbage-collecd unused messages, add a few new one (error handling).
XXX only tested on i386. Other md parts should be tested as well.
* Use structures, not 2-dimensional arrays..
* Use the DIOCGDEFLABEL ioctl to get the disk information,
to avoid confusion with (older) labels.
* Don't ever call fdisk for partitioning. This was the
source of much confusion.
* For the i386, use the BIOS geometry information passed by
the bootblocks.
Lots of things left to do, but it's a start.
commandlines for all tar operations. (work supplied by Matt Green)
2) Update arch/*/md.c to deal with new sysinst/run.c. Special case
anything that needs to do a redirect or a pipe.
3) #if 0 some unused code in target.c. This code will need to be updated,
or special cased with do_system.
Big thank you to Matt for all his work on this.
Scripting and logging functionality for sysinst.
Child programs are run in a "display window" so you can actually see what
they did before the screen flashes back and you loose it all.
Lots of curses fixups. Removed nasty endwins that mangled the tty upon
rentry.
Change the yes/no box to accept Y or N, and not require cursor motion to
decide one or the other.
Perform curses redraws when doing things that could cause the kernel to
spew printfs onto your screen.
just what the hell sysinst is asking for. (Why do we include the
`dangerously dedicated at all?)
Fix dangerous UI botch: make `normal' install the default, not `whole disk'.
