XXX1: I don't think it's worth to keep bad144 for modern flash devices.
XXX2: Should we still maintain non-English translations without a maintainer
even after we removed www translations?
Use IPAQ and JORNADA720 instead in messages per md.h.
XXX1: hpcarm seems to have more kernels.
XXX2: hpcarm doesn't have a common INSTALL kernel so
choosing a kernel set during sysinst doesn't make sense.
seen in the wild. So, before accepting arbitrary strings from there,
validate at least slightly and ignore if the entries are not properly
0 terminated or contain controll characters.
the install media provides the utilities. Set this for sparc64 for now,
since the bootblocks don't deal with the default LFS parameters used
by sysinst.
on the CD) if we can find CDs (i.e. media, not drives) automagically
and check the standard paths on it.
If we find multiple CDs, offer a menu to select showing the volume
name. If something goes wrong, fall back to the manual input method.
In typical installs this makes us just proceed with extracting the sets
after selecting "install from CD/DVD", w/o any further interaction.
As a side effect fixes PR 43012.
XXX new messages need translations.
s/MP/UP/ kernels were otherwise in place.
in my testing on a U60, i couldn't really notice any different in
speed, but we need testing on a U1/U5/U10 systems to be sure that
GENERIC.UP isn't necessary.
for sparc64, this is some what required as USIIIi systems have the
memory controller on the CPU, and unless the CPU is spunup, a UP
kernel will not function on these systems. (we obviously need to
join the NUMA-for-netbsd camp now, too! :-)
this should enable the installer to function on all systems that we
support, but also give the option for people to install GENERIC.UP
on their single-cpu systems if they choose.
XXX: i haven't actually tested sysinst with this, but i have built
both sparc and sparc64 release iso's successfully with this change
(sans having to comment out kern_ctf.c.)
ramdisks and prefer disklabel elsewhere.
Based on discussion on affected port lists (port-sparc port-sparc64
port-sun3 port-sun2 port-atari port-mvme68k).
All listed ports plus amd64 test built after change
passwd.conf file to passwd.conf.pre-sysinst file and creating a new one
from scratch:
- This is consistent with all other edits of configuration files performed
by sysinst. (E.g. in-place changes of rc.conf.)
- This eases the upgrade of the system to a newer set of files because the
diffs presented by etcupdate are easier to read.
No objections in tech-install@. Tested installing NetBSD/amd64.
uint32_t. Might make sysinst work on disks between 1TB and 2TB.
Not actually tested because I don't have a big disk.
Hopefully I haven't broken the small disk case!
Set WARNS= 4 so that comparisons of signed and unsigned block numbers
are trapped.
understanding of cryptography won't choose DES as the default on his system.
The default option should be the best possible in case the user is unsure.
As man page says, installboot(8) is required only OpenFirmware 1 and 2
machines and even on such machines the root partition has to be at the
beginning of the disk to make installboot(8) work.
On OpenFirmware version 3 machines, the strategy provided by
installboot(8) doesn't work, and they need to have an extra
native partition (HFS or FAT16) which can be recognized by
the newer firmware to put a loadable bootloader.
If PART_A has some offset, we can assume the disk is partitioned
for a machine with OF3, which does't require installboot(8).
Eventually, we should provide an independent partitioning method
for OpenFirmware 3 machines (fdisk MBR partition + FAT16 partition
for ofwboot.xcf as OpenBSD does), but it may require some new API
to get OF version in sysinst.
