files, they are appended to the end of etc/defaults/rc.conf.
So rename them to rc.conf.append for clarity, as suggested by mrg@. Adapt
Makefile accordingly.
rc.conf file. This one should reside under etc/etc.${MACHINE}/, and will
get automatically appended to etc/defaults/rc.conf at build time if present.
This is used by i386 and amd64 to append a small MD rc.conf(5) configuration
at the end of the defaults/rc.conf file, so that powerd(8) can be started
by default when we are running in a Xen environment. This is needed to support
save/restore functions for domains.
From all the alternatives proposed to fix that issue (from /etc/rc.conf
parsing in postinstall to etc/defaults/rc.conf arch-hooks) I believe
this one will appease everyone because it:
- does not touch etc/defaults/rc.conf template file,
- patches it at build time for MD hooks only when required,
- does not need to parse/modify a user-specified file like /etc/rc.conf (which
is a complex, error-prone operation),
- only enables powerd(8) by default when conditions are met (Xen environment)
while still allowing root to shoot himself in the foot if he wants to
override this manually in /etc/rc.conf.

The commit includes:
- Flash layer, which gives a common API to access flash devices
- NAND controller subsystem for the flash layer
- An example OMAP driver which is used on BeagleBoard or alike ARM boards
as the console. Now when coming up in single user mode the tset in
/.profile can set the terminal type correctly.
Note: I believe constty should be 'on' and console 'off', but thats a
separate discussion
MD MAKEDEV.conf. Not all ports have vcoda in their majors.foo files
and we shouldn't (re)assign major numbers on all ports before 5.0.
Should close PR port-sgimips/38962.
GENERIC kernels. If ACPI is an issue on your hardware, 'boot -c' and
'disable acpi' should be a workaround. ACPI-enabled kernels works fine
on pre-acpi hardware.
for amd64:
- add ACPI to INSTALL and GENERIC, remove the *_ACPI config files.
- get rid of the bootfloppy-big.fs boot image, and got to a 3-floppy boot
image
for i386:
- introduce INSTALL_LARGE which has ACPI and some devices with big firmware
- move some devices from INSTALL to INSTALL_LARGE
- Boot floppies still use INSTALL, and bootfloppy-big.fs is still there
(for thoses who want to build el-torito floppy emulation boot CD) and use
INSTALL.
For both, drop the 'iso-image' code in etc/ to make the iso bootable, we'll
use something else to build bootable CDs.
commands to the controller.
Add a amrctl(8) control tool, which for now only allows to get status
from the adapter (status of adapter, logical volumes and and individual
drives).
From FreeBSD, with some adjustements by Andrew Doran and me.
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.
