adapt the urtwn(4) driver to use the new files. The firmware files were
extracted from the Linux driver at www.realtek.com, version 0005.1230.2011
and the license permits redistribution without modification.
While I'm here, install the files in /libdata/firmware/if_urtwn, like
most of the other network adapter firmware.
urtwn(4) can now operate without needing external files installed. Tested
on my Edimax adapter.
used to do it for the xdm greeter, looks extremely ugly.
Unfortunately xdm has no means to load and mix alpha channel images,
so provide a png file and precomputed xpms with proper background colour
for the greeter.
If users change their greeter resources and change the background, they will
have to regenerate that xpm file, provide proper instructions for this.
While there, use less clunky fonts (hi Jared!).
XXX the fonts are not exactly perfect, if anyone feels like fine tuning
this further, please be my guest.
depend on new devname_r(3) as heart. Add /dev/pts magic directly to
devname(3). While it can lead to returning non-existing paths, the
behavior is more consistent that way. Drop caching layer in devname(3),
it doesn't buy anything for the common case of having access to the
database. Teach devname(3) proper fallback behavior of scanning /dev.
Create both old-style and new-style database for now in /etc/rc.d/sysdb.
sysinst fails with "floating exception" after
changing MBR partition size in MBR editor menu
if the target disk doesn't have valid MBR partition
or has a valid partition 0 whose offset is not 1MB aligned
(like 63 sectors).
read_mbr() (which calls get_ptn_alignment()) is called
before set_bios_geom(), so bhead is not initialized there
and ptn_alignment could be zero.
To workaround, explicitly call get_ptn_alignment() again
in edit_mbr() to update ptn_alignemnt per BIOS geom values.
assertion failure (and thus a crash in DIAGNOSTIC kernels). Independently
discovered by YAMAMOTO Takashi and Joel Sing.
To avoid this, introduce a cpu_mcontext_validate() function and move all
sanity checks from cpu_setmcontext() there. Also untangle the netbsd32
compat mess slightly and add a cpu_mcontext32_validate() cousin there.
Add an exhaustive atf test case, based partly on code from Joel Sing.
Should finally fix the remaining open part of PR kern/43903.

MBR_BOOTCODE
optional MBR bootcode which should be installed by fdisk(8)
(default: empty)
- specified MBR_BOOTCODE must exist in ${DESTDIR}/usr/mdec
- if MBR_BOOTCODE is not specified,
MBR_DEFAULT_BOOTCODE (default: mbr) will be used
if the target ${MACHINE} has the one in /usr/mdec
INSTALLBOOTOPTIONS
options passed to installboot(8), e.g., -o console=com0
(default: empty)

Proposed by Brook Milligan on current-users@:
http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/current-users/2012/04/16/msg019892.html
Also make USE_MBR work on ${MACHINE}s which don't have the default
/usr/mdec/mbr bootcode. (no such port has the liveimage target yet though)
XXX: tools fdisk(8) implicitly uses host's /usr/mdec/mbr for the default
XXX: bootcode even for non-x86 targets if host is x86
Adjust various man pages and other documentation to point to capfile(5)
instead of termcap(5).
Remove getcap(3) as curses hasn't been building it for a long time.
Punt wrterm.c as tset no longer uses it.
Enables the user to configure a few additional items, including using
pkgin to manage binary packages, in a post-install menu which replaces
the series of questions (Do you want to set a root password? etc).
This is by no means a perfect solution, nor should it discourage anyone
from working on more sweeping changes to sysinst.
Some bug fixes, and .de translation provided by Julian Fagir.
XXX .es, .fr and .pl translations still needed. Please help!
