1) Add an md_post_extract() function. This function is called after
extracting the sets, and allows the arch to do something at that time.
In the case of prep, it is much easier to install the bootcode after all
the sets are extracted, so we do it in md_post_extract(). Added empty
md_post_extract() functions to all other arches so they compile.
2) Add md_mbr_use_wholedisk() and md_check_mbr(). In edit_mbr() I have
split off the code that uses the whole disk for NetBSD, into the
mbr_use_wholedisk() function. On most ports that use mbr.c, I made
md_mbr_use_wholedisk() just call that and return. On prep we create the
magical prep boot partition here. The md_check_mbr() function allows the
arch to add additional checks after the user had manually edited the MBR
to make sure the choices he made allow NetBSD to function. Added a dummy
routine to all mbr.c using arches.
3) Added code to bsdlabel.c to create a partition of type boot if
PART_BOOT is defined, but BOOT_SIZE is not defined. Also added two more
globals "bootsize" and "bootstart" which must be seeded in order to do
so. This is done on prep in md_check_mbr().
4) Added MBR_PTYPE_PREP to the list of MBR partitions.
5) Made the prep port actually install sanely. It now creates a prep
boot partition, labels it correctly, installs all the sets, and then runs
mkbootimage and dd's the bootimage into the prep partition. The result
is a prep installer that creates a bootable NetBSD installation
automatically.
6) Edited the prep menus and messages files to add new labels. In the
case of the translated files, I just added the words in english for
someone to translate later.
I tried to xcompile a few arches to make sure I didn't break anything,
but I could have missed something. Please let me know if I have broken
your arch in any way. I'll watch the autobuilds for the next few days
too. For all ports other than prep there should be no functional changes
at all.
of the sets after an error.
A side effect is that it now does fetch-install-fetch-install..., not
fetch-...-fetch-install-...install.
The set selection code now uses a byte per set (not a bit-pattern) removing
the restriction of 32 sets, and allowing a per set status display (TBC).
Also TBC is deleting sets from /usr/INSTALL.
However I believe it works...
- Add xen devices to MAKEDEV
- Add Xen kernels to list of kernel to build
- Add INSTALL_XENU to the install kernels
- introduce the xbd disk devices to sysinst.
This will add 3 kernels to the i386 release:
XEN0 for use as a Xen domain0 kernel
XENU for use on a non-privileged domain
INSTALL_XENU to install NetBSD on a non-privileged domain virtual disk.
contain a GENERIC kernel.
With this commit, NetBSD can now be successfully installed via sysinst on the
IP12 (Personal Iris / Indigo R3k) family of workstations.
* Add the IP12 kernel set to the list, and make it the default kernel selection
if we're installing on an IP12,
* Don't install ARCS bootblocks on IP12,
* Install the ECOFF kernel to the volume header for IP12.
exists, and use the 'c' (raw) partition for boot code installation
instead of the 'a' partition (which will not work). This should fix
the problem that newly-partitioned and newly-installed disks will not
be made bootable by sysinst.

XXX - Output is not correct since sysinst does not set the proper LC_CTYPE
yet (which happens to not affect umlauts, but sharp-s (0xdf))
Move info about cylinders to the 'ask for units' menu.
(translations need checking, done by cutting sentences)
Stop i386 always asking for units.
Use BIOS cylinders for MBR and disk cylinders for the disklabel.
(code intended to do this, but got it wrong...)
Mark some menus as 'sub menu' or MC_SUBMENU so that the screen underneath
is saved.
Add GENERIC.MPACPI to i386 menu.
and bcylsize (bios cylinder size) can be calculated in the one place
it is needed.
The ask_sizemult() call will go once I decide what to to with the
(slightly useful) explanatory text about cylinder alignment.
a single function, the latter is now the return value of get_ramsize().
Changed all uses of rammb to get_ramsize().
Used the 64bit HW_PHYSMEM64 so silly things don't happen if the memory size
approaches (or even exceeds) 4GB.
Save the result in /etc/wscons.conf at the end of the install/upgrade.
Currently only builds for i386 - change arch/*/Makefile and add the
extra messages (though they could go into the msg.mi.* files).
Needs the 'Keyboard type' message translated in to German, French and polish.
Maybe the keyboard type names could be less cryptic...
