they are included on all boot media.
Some of the previous method of setting the console (and conspeed, when
using serial console) is retained, but it should probably be reworked.
Also, adapt to the fact that we may be installing to a disk wedge.
With this change, it is now possible (but still ugly) for sysinst to
create a bootable GPT-labeled disk.
- Split off npf_conn_export(). Add npf_ifmap_getname() and use it to save
the interface name; pick it up on npf_conn_import().
- Misc fixes. Bump NPF_VERSION.
Don't try to assign negative values to unsigned quantities.
Use strtouq(), not atoi(), to read 64-bit values.
Booting from an installed GPT-labelled disk still doesn't work,
but at least sysinst doesn't crash as soon as a GPT is created.
* Elide some unnecessary pairs of quotation marks, to improve readability.
For example, shell_quote "''" is now \'\' instead of ''\'''\'''.
* Don't add quotes around words that contain only safe characters,
to improve readability.
* LC_COLLATE=C to prevent [a-zA-Z] from matching non-ASCII characters.
* Use ${SED} if defined.
from Eugene Lozovoy: add extended partitioning options to sysinst.
Still needs some testing and polishing, but it now is possible to use GPT
or to create a RAID set from scratch and install onto it.
instead of consing up a string and printing it to stdout, just print
to stdout. Not as compositionally tidy, but much simpler and perfectly
adequate here.
This makes the presence of sysinst in /usr/sbin MI (as intended) --
remember that one of the goals is for sysinst to be able to install
chroots, and installing a chroot is a sensible operation on all ports,
even those for which an installer per se might not make sense.
Currently this dummy architecture fails instead of doing anything, but
as they say, one thing at a time.
This commit only physically moves the sources - there are no other
changes, to maximize the probability that this will be treated as a
rename if we ever do manage to migrate away from CVS.
Moving sysinst has been discussed on and off for years and has two
goals: making it easier to work on sysinst, and also making sysinst
available on running systems for use installing chroots and VM images
and other such things. None of the latter is possible yet, but as they
say, one thing at a time.
Doing this now was approved in an impromptu fashion by mrg, riz,
riastradh, me, and groo.
- Add support for saving a snapshot of the current connections together
with a full configuration. Support a reverse load operation. Eliminate
the old 'sess-save' and 'sess-load' in favour of the new mechanism.
- Share code between load and reload operations: the latter performs
load from npf.conf without affecting the connections.
- Simplify and fix races with connection loading.
- Bump NPF_VERSION.
