Since all the x_<prog> get build into crunched binaries (which does a
reachover build these days) I suspect this is entirely unnecessary.
But having deleted x_dmesg we must ensure it doesn't go there.
It is worth remembering that trailing spaces are significant in the message
files - they cause a line break if the text is auto-filled to the RH margin.
(This is often the case when the text is a format string.)
Note: nothing (yet) checks the number (or type) of the format effectors in
the message strings. I found and fixed one big error, but others will
cause core dumps.
- Add xen devices to MAKEDEV
- Add Xen kernels to list of kernel to build
- Add INSTALL_XENU to the install kernels
- introduce the xbd disk devices to sysinst.
This will add 3 kernels to the i386 release:
XEN0 for use as a Xen domain0 kernel
XENU for use on a non-privileged domain
INSTALL_XENU to install NetBSD on a non-privileged domain virtual disk.

Usually the unreadable part will be swap, but remove it from root even

Make German always have KB_NODEAD set - IIRC Martin said that is needed.
Unfortunately this means we have our own list...
that the "int maxgroups" and "int *ngroups" parameters are separated into
two separate parameters which makes it possible to call multiple nsswitch

With this commit, NetBSD can now be successfully installed via sysinst on the
IP12 (Personal Iris / Indigo R3k) family of workstations.
* Add the IP12 kernel set to the list, and make it the default kernel selection
if we're installing on an IP12,
* Don't install ARCS bootblocks on IP12,
* Install the ECOFF kernel to the volume header for IP12.

The choot is required to make absolute links be processed correctly,
and must be done by tar because the program (and input file) do not
exist inside the chroot.

Move info about cylinders to the 'ask for units' menu.
(translations need checking, done by cutting sentences)
Stop i386 always asking for units.
Use BIOS cylinders for MBR and disk cylinders for the disklabel.
(code intended to do this, but got it wrong...)
Mark some menus as 'sub menu' or MC_SUBMENU so that the screen underneath
is saved.
Add GENERIC.MPACPI to i386 menu.
and bcylsize (bios cylinder size) can be calculated in the one place

The ask_sizemult() call will go once I decide what to to with the
(slightly useful) explanatory text about cylinder alignment.
a single function, the latter is now the return value of get_ramsize().
Changed all uses of rammb to get_ramsize().
Used the 64bit HW_PHYSMEM64 so silly things don't happen if the memory size
approaches (or even exceeds) 4GB.
Save the result in /etc/wscons.conf at the end of the install/upgrade.
Currently only builds for i386 - change arch/*/Makefile and add the

Needs the 'Keyboard type' message translated in to German, French and polish.
Maybe the keyboard type names could be less cryptic...
I've made the error retry loops go back as far as the input menus.
Split all the pathname inputs into 2 pieces (base directory and set directory).
Reduced the size of some fixed strings.
Stopped the install aborting if ftp can't find a set (eg the X ones).
The French and Polish transations don't differenciate between Base_dir and
Set_dir - but that can be fixed later.
Convert ' ' to 0 to ensure a valid device name is genarated.

written into the correct place - even if the user decides not to update
the mbr code and has the old (pre layout change) code installed.
Tell the user that the mbr code needs updating if the new install uses

get an empty menu).

Mainly some extra comments, also moved a 'static' so we use 512bytes of
stack and not static data. Killed call to access() as it is pointless
and doesn't do what you want (access is for suid programs to check whether
the real user could do the operation).
stuff: bz2 support, compress support, many non-required options.
now x_gzip supports "gzip -l" so sysinst should work for these platforms.
gzip will grow slightly - 400 or so bytes on x86 - but this is a small
price to pay for working -l support...
that has holes.
This needs the 'bios sectors per track' before it has been setup - so we
default it to the 'hardware' value. Since both numbers are 63, and this only
affects the size of the headers on extended partitions it should be safe.
leave 4 bytes for the Windows NT Drive Serial Number (DSN) at 440-443
(as mbr_sector.mbr_dsn).
Ensure that all the MBR & PBR code reserves space for mbr_sector.mbr_dsn.
Leave the bootsel magic number at 444-445 as mbr_sector.mbr_bootsel_magic
(instead of mbr_sector.mbr_bootsel.mbrbs_magic), but use 0xb5e1 (MBR_BS_MAGIC)
instead of 0xaa55 (MBR_MAGIC) to indicate that this change has occurred.
Rework MBR_BS_NEWMBR to mean "mbr_bootsel has moved to 400".
Modify fdisk(8) to automatically relocate the mbr_bootsel from 404 to 400
if mbr_bootsel_magic is the old value (0xaa55), and unset MBR_BS_NEWMBR
to flag that new mbr_bootsel code must be used if updating the MBR.
These changes fixes a problem where Windows 2000 or Windows XP would corrupt
the last 3 bytes + NUL of MBR partition 3's bootsel name if the bootsel name
was 5 characters long, replacing bytes 6-9 with the DSN.
Also, by explicitly reserving the space for the DSN we prevent problems in the
future if non bootsel MBR or PBR code had other information at bytes 440-443.
