and install:
o INSTALL and INSTALL_TINY kernels (for boot floppy images)
o GENERIC_TINY kernel
o Boot floppy images
Ideas borrowed from etc/etc.sun3/ setup.
in sets/lists/*. The sript sets/makeobsolete concatenates the mi and md
obsolete list files all or a specified set and dumps it in a file, in a
subdir specified on the command line (inspired from the maketar and makeflist
files).
Use this for all the sysinst-based installs.
Untested for non-i386, and the md obsolete list may be wrong or incomplete.
Each postmaster is supposed to check this on his port.
- Remove *.cro files and not the obsoleted *.lo files.
From Bill Studenmund commit message:
> 3) Generate .cro files rather than .lo files. .lo now is used for "local
> objects" - obj's for the host machine not the target machine.
- use libhack to avoid dragging in YP and DB (saves about 108K of libc
we have no need for).
- use more of the -DSMALL utils from distrib/utils/x_* (saves about 76K)
(except x_gzip, which is actually bigger).
People who want to be able to install files which have been translated
into EBCDIC, or install over XNS, can probably figure out other ways
to get this done.
This means that a boot image again fits on a single 1.44M floppy, with
about 50k to spare.
"netbsd.gz". This speeds the boot by a small but perceptable amount.
The time between when the bootblocks print "no such file or directory"
for netbsd and when they show signs of actually having found netbsd.gz
is long enough to be noticeable, and looks bad..
Delete "\E)0" sequences and make ":as=\E(0:ae=\E(B:"
(some terminals use "1" for "0").
This change makes it easy to use 8-bit encodings, such as ISO8859, EUC, etc.
PR #7126.
the needed endianism of the architecture. One step towards cross-building
releases.
Not touched are newfs calls in install scripts as they run on the desired
machine and thus default correctly.
(Depends on new disktab from etc/etc.i386/.)
Don't descend into bootfloppy and bootfloppy-small since these now overflow,
now do ramdisk, fdset, bootfloppy-big, and bootfloppy-tiny.
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.
