<sys/bootblock.h>:
* Added definitions for the Master Boot Record (MBR) used by
a variety of systems (primarily i386), including the format
of the BIOS Parameter Block (BPB).
This information was cribbed from a variety of sources
including <sys/disklabel_mbr.h> which this is a superset of.
As part of this, some data structure elements and #defines
were renamed to be more "namespace friendly" and consistent
with other bootblocks and MBR documentation.
Update all uses of the old names to the new names.
<sys/disklabel_mbr.h>:
* Deprecated in favor of <sys/bootblock.h> (the latter is more
"host tool" friendly).
amd64 & i386:
* Renamed /usr/mdec/bootxx_dosfs to /usr/mdec/bootxx_msdos, to
be consistent with the naming convention of the msdosfs tools.
* Removed /usr/mdec/bootxx_ufs, as it's equivalent to bootxx_ffsv1
and it's confusing to have two functionally equivalent bootblocks,
especially given that "ufs" has multiple meanings (it could be
a synonym for "ffs", or the group of ffs/lfs/ext2fs file systems).
* Rework pbr.S (the first sector of bootxx_*):
+ Ensure that BPB (bytes 11..89) and the partition table
(bytes 446..509) do not contain code.
+ Add support for booting from FAT partitions if BOOT_FROM_FAT
is defined. (Only set for bootxx_msdos).
+ Remove "dummy" partition 3; if people want to installboot(8)
these to the start of the disk they can use fdisk(8) to
create a real MBR partition table...
+ Compile with TERSE_ERROR so it fits because of the above.
Whilst this is less user friendly, I feel it's important
to have a valid partition table and BPB in the MBR/PBR.
* Renamed /usr/mdec/biosboot to /usr/mdec/boot, to be consistent
with other platforms.
* Enable SUPPORT_DOSFS in /usr/mdec/boot (stage2), so that
we can boot off FAT partitions.
* Crank version of /usr/mdec/boot to 3.1, and fix some of the other
entries in the version file.
installboot(8) (i386):
* Read the existing MBR of the filesystem and retain the BIOS
Parameter Block (BPB) in bytes 11..89 and the MBR partition
table in bytes 446..509. (Previously installboot(8) would
trash those two sections of the MBR.)
mbrlabel(8):
* Use sys/lib/libkern/xlat_mbr_fstype.c instead of homegrown code
to map the MBR partition type to the NetBSD disklabel type.
Test built "make release" for i386, and new bootblocks verified to work
(even off FAT!).
64 bit block pointers, extended attribute storage, and a few
other things.
This commit does not yet include the code to manipulate the extended
storage (for e.g. ACLs), this will be done later.

this one had all the infrastructure of fork/exec/wait, like the
others, but called system instead of exec creating an extra PID
and associated memory usage during the edit.
it conditional on USE_ACORN, and define that if MACHINE is arm26 or acorn32.
This is less than optimal, and maybe we should define it for all ARM systems,
but then disklabel handling across architectures is generally a mess at the
moment.
- add a function to print only one partition's info.
- print the partition information if it was modified in interactive mode.
- improve on the chaining code. [still assumes that partition offsets increase
monotonically]. We could check for overlap too.
already. So, don't fail if there appears to be a corrupt label or
no 'fake' label; get the 'default' label (which is generated
from DIOCGDEFLABEL) instead.
searchs (amongst others) are case insensitive.
* in interactive mode (-i), when editing entries display supported disk types
and filesystem types when given `?' (when ``[?]'' appears in the prompt
this feature is supported for the question).
* support `m' as a suffix equivalent to `M'
* in interactive mode, be a bit more sensible about handling errors and EOF
* implement dumpnames(), which takes a char ** and size, and displays
as per ls -F (sorted, listed vertically) but indented by one tab

* fix up some comments and some warning messages (bad cut & pastos :)
* deprecate deffstypename() and getfstypename()
* be consistent when using sizeof()
ccd component partition. Note that the ccd driver still allows partitions
of any types as components since an on-disk BSD disklabel isn't available
on some port.
segment size from block size).
newfs_lfs now reads the disklabel to find segment, block, and fragment
sizes. Because reading this info from the wrong fs type could result in
very poor fs layout (e.g. ffs has "16" where the segshift would go,
resulting in 512-*megabyte* segments for 8K blocks), newfs_lfs refuses
to create a filesystem on a partition not labeled "4.4LFS".
Man pages for newfs_lfs updated to reflect this change.
comments, to resolve PR 8189. This makes the documentation for these
fields consistent. Not that it matters - a grep of syssrc shows that
these fields aren't actually used for anything and should probably be
GC'd.
field.
According to disklabel.h, its LFS semantics are "segment shift" (log2(segment
size)), but in the code it is used nowhere, and there are even plans to
allow non-poweroftwo segment sizes, so it won't ever work.
While at this, simplify the disktab-like output routine... here, currently,
BSDFFS, BSDLFS, EX2FS and ADOS do the same, so don't duplicate the code.
