It is worth remembering that trailing spaces are significant in the message
files - they cause a line break if the text is auto-filled to the RH margin.
(This is often the case when the text is a format string.)
Note: nothing (yet) checks the number (or type) of the format effectors in
the message strings. I found and fixed one big error, but others will
cause core dumps.
- Add xen devices to MAKEDEV
- Add Xen kernels to list of kernel to build
- Add INSTALL_XENU to the install kernels
- introduce the xbd disk devices to sysinst.
This will add 3 kernels to the i386 release:
XEN0 for use as a Xen domain0 kernel
XENU for use on a non-privileged domain
INSTALL_XENU to install NetBSD on a non-privileged domain virtual disk.
want to keep or delete the dist files.
Stop the "type enter to continue" if the rmdir fails - may not be empty.
Report an error if the chroot() (for RUN_CHROOT) fails.
fflush log and script files before writing to them from a child.
Usually the unreadable part will be swap, but remove it from root even
if swap is not selected.
The user can always put it back on the next screen.
Saves sysinst allocating /usr when the bios geometry excludes the last
few MB of the disk (32 on one disk I have).
finding them out and adding the comments to wsksymdef.h.
Make German always have KB_NODEAD set - IIRC Martin said that is needed.
Unfortunately this means we have our own list...
contain a GENERIC kernel.
With this commit, NetBSD can now be successfully installed via sysinst on the
IP12 (Personal Iris / Indigo R3k) family of workstations.
* Add the IP12 kernel set to the list, and make it the default kernel selection
if we're installing on an IP12,
* Don't install ARCS bootblocks on IP12,
* Install the ECOFF kernel to the volume header for IP12.
filesystem and then follow existing symbolic links in that filesystem.
The choot is required to make absolute links be processed correctly,
and must be done by tar because the program (and input file) do not
exist inside the chroot.

trying to parse the output of ifconfig)
Loop if the user specifies an unsupported media type.
Run ifocnfig to set the media type (any anything else the user typed in)
before running dhcp to assign an address.
Correctly extract the defualt gateway from output of 'route -n show'
Extract nameserver from resolv.conf without using get_command_out(),
delete get_command_out().
Fixes (at least) PR install/11880, install/12706
Remove a 'Press <enter> to continue' message that was accidently left
in by a previous commit.
Fixes PR/18555 (and a recent discussion on a mailing list)
exists, and use the 'c' (raw) partition for boot code installation
instead of the 'a' partition (which will not work). This should fix
the problem that newly-partitioned and newly-installed disks will not
be made bootable by sysinst.

Move info about cylinders to the 'ask for units' menu.
(translations need checking, done by cutting sentences)
Stop i386 always asking for units.
Use BIOS cylinders for MBR and disk cylinders for the disklabel.
(code intended to do this, but got it wrong...)
Mark some menus as 'sub menu' or MC_SUBMENU so that the screen underneath
is saved.
Add GENERIC.MPACPI to i386 menu.
and bcylsize (bios cylinder size) can be calculated in the one place
it is needed.
The ask_sizemult() call will go once I decide what to to with the
(slightly useful) explanatory text about cylinder alignment.
a single function, the latter is now the return value of get_ramsize().
Changed all uses of rammb to get_ramsize().
Used the 64bit HW_PHYSMEM64 so silly things don't happen if the memory size
approaches (or even exceeds) 4GB.
Save the result in /etc/wscons.conf at the end of the install/upgrade.
Currently only builds for i386 - change arch/*/Makefile and add the
extra messages (though they could go into the msg.mi.* files).
Needs the 'Keyboard type' message translated in to German, French and polish.
Maybe the keyboard type names could be less cryptic...
I've made the error retry loops go back as far as the input menus.
Split all the pathname inputs into 2 pieces (base directory and set directory).
Reduced the size of some fixed strings.
Stopped the install aborting if ftp can't find a set (eg the X ones).
The French and Polish transations don't differenciate between Base_dir and
Set_dir - but that can be fixed later.
