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.
don't blow away existing config files.
- Wait until all sets have been unpacked to run postinstall. Previously
we ran it after extracting etc, which meant that /var/db/obsolete/ was
not fully populated.
for the first swap partition use type sw,dp instead of sw, so dump device
gets configured correctly if swap is not on the second partition.
Fixes PR install/42148.
- Re-order the md_*() definitions so they are in the order called
- Add some comments
- Remove obsolete md_set_no_x() definition
- Remove md_copy_filesystem()
- #if defined(DEBUG) declare backtowin(void) to avoid scattering
externs in various md .c files
mbr.[ch]:
- Add a set_bios_geom_with_mbr_guess() which can be called by all
the non x86 ports rather than copying the same code into arc,
bebox, cobalt, evbmips, evbppc, hpcarm, hpcmips, landisk, ofppc,
prep, sandpoint, and zaurus md.c
install.c:
- Remove now unnecessary call to md_copy_filesystem()
upgrade.c:
- Move move_aout_libs() here, and put under #ifdef AOUT2ELF
- Rather than having *every* md_update call wrefresh(curscr),
wmove(stdscr, 0, 0), wclear(stdscr), and wrefresh(stdscr),
move them here
arch/acorn26/md.c:
- Just include arch/acorn32/md.c, but add a note there warning
about this, and while here add a note to i386/md.c that it
is included by amd64
arch/*/md.c:
- By all means "Vive la difference", but we have 38 pairs of md.[ch],
and they could not even agree on the order in which to list the
md hooks, let alone formatting. Sort the md hooks to match the
(now sane) order in def.sh, and try to normalise the formatting
- Also copy across some function level comments everywhere
- Ensure functions only used inside each md.c are defined as static
- Remove some now unused functions
- Some files had enable_rc_conf in #ifdef DEBUG. Add this to all
- bebox, evbppc and sandpoint were still playing broken games with
copying the booted ramdisk to the target disk, the primary result
of which was just to slow things down and ensure the target system
lost the .profile extracted from the sets. Just kill this.
- For some ports md_update() called endwin(), and in others not.
Take a cure from i386/amd64 and a few other more active ports,
and update everything to match (no endwin())
- In a couple of cases correct port names in comments
- ANSIfy some lingering old style functions
- Consistently use "return 0;" rather than "return (0);"
More of the mbr code should be abstracted, along with the
get_ramsize() / set_swap() logic, but this is (more than)
enough for one day...
sysinst built for all ports but only runtime tested on amd64 & i386
the device name
Try ATA/SCSI identify commands and when successful, use the model information
along with the disk size when creating the 'Available disks' menu.
Instead of having a list of disks (wd0, wd1, sd0) the menu now looks like:
Available disks
>a: wd0 (977M, SanDisk SDCFB-1024)
b: wd1 (233G, FUJITSU MHY2250BH)
c: sd0 (246M, LEXAR JUMPDRIVE ELITE)
