at MAXPARTITIONS/OLDMAXPARTITIONS in kernel sources, so that it wouldn't
need to be specified separately in MAKEDEV.conf
change platform MAKEDEV.conf to contain only MD targets and nothing else;
simplify the parsing in MAKEDEV.awk accordingly
this contains information about disk partitions used by platform,
and MD MAKEDEV targets, such as 'init', MD part of 'all',
as well as any other MD-specific targets not covered by MAKEDEV.tmpl
any pipes and running other commands (eg dd).
Measurable speeds up creating pseudo ttys.
(there has to be a better way than editing 51 files! - tedious at only
6 key presses per file)
MD disktab where possible (everything but vax)
the MD disktab was often either empty, or contained entries even for disks
which support geometry autodetection (SCSI), and/or non-interesting/long
obsolete entries
the old records are still available in example disktab in
/usr/share/examples/disktab/disktab in case anyone would need them
for all platforms.
- remove now unnecessary replicated code in the various snap_md_post targets
- remove snap_md_pre; nothing uses it any more
- use ${NETBSDSRCDIR} and ${KERNSRCDIR} as appropriate
(prevents spurious warning for mfs /dev, amongst other things)
- for mipsco, news68k, newsmips: ensure that "umask 77" is run after $0.local
- for playstation2: add local) target, and use in all) (for consistency)
become ippp (ISDN ppp) and irip (ISDN raw IP). The character device now
are called: /dev/isdn (isdnd <-> kernel communication), /dev/isdnctl (dialing
and other control), /dev/isdntrc* (tracing), /dev/isdnbchan* (raw B channel
access, i.e. for user land PPP) and /dev/isdntel* (telephone devices, i.e.
for answering machines).
* use "ln -fs foo bar" instead of "rm -f bar; ln -s foo bar"
* remove unnecessary chown root or chgrp wheel directives; older code here
didn't bother doing this, so why be inconsistent
* when making directories, don't use -p and don't redirect stdout to /dev/null
* clean up whitespace
* wrap the main parser code in a function makedev(), and call makedev
instead of "sh $0". (this is a bit faster)
* don't barf when we have fdesc mounted; just skip the devices fdesc provides
(these files should really be automagically generated...)
