* 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.
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.
* Split bios geometry and MBR partition editing code formerly in
arch/i386/{md,fdisk}.c to mbr.c in mi directory.
* Leave /sbin/fdisk parsing/handling code in separate file,
we may want to change it later. move to mi directory.
* Create mbr.h with declarations for MBR/BIOS-geomotry code.
#include "mbr.h" in i386 md.h.
* Use symbolic names for 386bsd and new NetBSD partition IDs.
Handle MBRs with both 386bsd and NetBSD partitions less stupidly.
at used partitions. fdisk may report the number of cylinders > 1024
correctly if no translation is used.
* Print out the end of the partition as well as the size when editing things.
* Enable the user to specify the BIOS geometry if he/she wishes.
* Fix 1023 / 1024 mixup. The reason BIOSs will return 1023 is an old IBM
convention to use the last cylinder as diagnostic cylinder. The user
can still skip the last ('real') cylinder if specified.
* Make some messages more verbose.
parallel development. i386 version about 90% complete. pc532 version
just started, other architectures later in coordination with portmasters.
This is a curses based, menu driven installation program.
Better error checking is needed.
