hubertf 92bd305e4a Add note that "fdisk -i" is the same as "fdisk /mbr" on MSDOS. 1999-10-11 01:04:57 +00:00
enami d758f82f45 Oops, needs an operator. 1999-09-25 04:27:55 +00:00
enami cd2531c01e Build fdisk also on hpcmips. 1999-09-25 04:26:28 +00:00
enami 62d623bfc4 Don't decend into the subdirectory mbr_bootsel except i386, 
since it currently doesn't contain MI thing and not compile
on ofppc box (thanks Wolfgang) and probably on bebox box.

thorpej 7d344bb51b Make sure the boot selector actually gets updated if you only change 
the timeout and/or the default menu choice.

christos 8eeaf82ae4 - Use the proper multiply instructions so that we don't get truncated.

fvdl a6f7895b92 Only use int13 extensions if the sectors can not be read through the 
older CHS interface. This works around stupid BIOSs who report that
int13 extensions are present and functional, but fail when you actually
use them. Like Adaptec SCSI BIOSs.

For the bootselector, there was no space to get the CHS info from
the BIOS. Instead, use a flag that can be set by fdisk. fdisk will
set it if one of the partitions on the disk is out of CHS reach
for this disk/BIOS, so that the bootselector will use int13 extensions.
This isn't so bad, because it needs to be configured via fdisk anyway.

Change the mbr manualpage to reflect some shorter error messages.

fvdl 48c1c25ba5 Make the bootselector configurable by fdisk. Add a -B flag to this 
effect (i386 only of course). Also change one branch in the
bootselector code to an explicit 16 bit one, and check both
the boot menu and partition tables to see if the partition
requested by the user should be booted. This check just in case,
should the bootselector menu and partition table get out of sync
somehow. (mmm, bytesqueezing)

ghudson 70698891e2 When estimating the number of cylinders in the BIOS geometry, use the 
total number of sectors as reported by disklabel.d_secperunit rather
than multiplying out the disklabel geometry, which is less accurate.

phil 1b063875bf Upgrade for non-interactive use. Interactive use is nearly unchanged. 
-i no longer implies -u, -i now does not use the entire first track
because some BIOSes refuse to boot from a partition in the first track.
-s renamed to -S, new -s for non-interactive setting of a partition's
id, offset and size.  Updated documentation to match.
