* Split bios geometry and MBR partition editing code formerly in
arch/i386/{md,fdisk}.c to mbr.c in mi directory.
* Leave /sbin/fdisk parsing/handling code in separate file,
we may want to change it later. move to mi directory.
* Create mbr.h with declarations for MBR/BIOS-geomotry code.
#include "mbr.h" in i386 md.h.
* Use symbolic names for 386bsd and new NetBSD partition IDs.
Handle MBRs with both 386bsd and NetBSD partitions less stupidly.
in menus.md.{eng,fr}, lifted verbatim from Alpha and pmax.
Give last split-floppy for each X11 set, for 1.3.
FIXME: if the number of floppies in any split set changes for 1.3.1,
syinst is hosed for 1.3.1. Same is true for any release: we can't
install from split sets if the count of floppies doesn't match
the precompiled version.
The number of floppies in a split set should be computed dynamically
from a directory listing, or read from a config file in the split
directory.
* Add cp_to_target() to copy a file from current root, to an absolute
path relative to target root.
* Clean up alpha, arm32, i386, pmax MD code: use cp_to_target()
NB: Alpha uses target_expand() when calling installboot.
* Add tests for target == current root. Intended to support
`upgrade/reinstall' to current root, either for testing or easier
minor-release upgrades. Only tested on pmax.
* Add `partinfo' type, for description of a single partition,
so we can pass labels by reference..
* Add label.c with label initialization, naive overlap-check code,
and a UI entrypoint edit_and_check_label() which iterates through
checking a label for overlaps, and if any, giving the user the choice of
fixing them or punting back to the main menu.
* Change return type of md_make_bsd_partitions from void to int.
Return 0 if the partition has problems (or the user gave up on it)
and 1 if the partition is completed and looks OK.
* Change install() to check return value of md_make_bsd_partitions().
If it returns zero, print an `abort' message and return to main menu.
* Add label.c to all ports' Makefile.
MD code tested on pmax and cut-and-pasted to other ports.
at used partitions. fdisk may report the number of cylinders > 1024
correctly if no translation is used.
* Print out the end of the partition as well as the size when editing things.
* Enable the user to specify the BIOS geometry if he/she wishes.
* Fix 1023 / 1024 mixup. The reason BIOSs will return 1023 is an old IBM
convention to use the last cylinder as diagnostic cylinder. The user
can still skip the last ('real') cylinder if specified.
* Make some messages more verbose.
all pathname-on-server related definitions to MI code, since they are now
defined to be consistent across all platforms. Also, nuke the "rels" global,
since release numbers are now always specified in "long form", i.e. 1.3A
vs. 13A.
If installing from a pmax diskimage as both current root and target root,
the diskimage /usr/bin/tar is hidden underneath the target /usr mountpoint
when it's time to untar distribution files. From a comment in the change:
Make sure any binaries in a diskimage /usrbin get copied
into the current root's /usr/bin. (may be same as target /usr/bin.)
The rest of sysinst uses /usr/bin/{tar,ftp,chgrp}.
We cannot ship those in /usr/bin, because if we did
an install with target root == current root, they'd
be be hidden under the target's /usr filesystem.
Requires updated diskimage build script which populates /usrbin with
tar, gzip, gunzip, ftp, and chgrp (all statically linked.)
Add target.c to Makefiles.
* Minor fixes:
* Fix buglet in disks.c: make sure the target /etc exists before
touching the target's /etc/fstab. (Could be even cleaner.)
* If the target root is on /, don't copy our temporary /etc/resolv.conf
to the target /etc/resolv.conf. (Could be even cleaner.)
* Don't write the DNS hostname into /etc/defaultdomain.
DNS search paths are often not the same as YP group names.
RAW_PART for new labels, instead of just the latter.
Avoids shrinking RAW_PART label with pmax kernel-supplied default
labels or with already-labelled disks.
XXX Get real incore label, instead of default label instead (or as well)?
to 4.3BSD-style (BSD uses whole disk, 8 partitions, c=RAW_PART, d=/usr).
Initialize variables appropriately.
May be a good starting template for sparc, vax, others?
Use symbolic defines to allow changing the partition used for /usr (to
add a /var partition, or for consistency with i386).
* Use md_make_bsd_partitions() code lifted from the i386 version,
modified to set D partition size.
* Add the MD messages used by the above to sysisnt/arch/pmax/msg.md.eng.
* Add X11 sets xbase, xserver, xcomp to arch/pmax/md.h.
parallel development. i386 version about 90% complete. pc532 version
just started, other architectures later in coordination with portmasters.
This is a curses based, menu driven installation program.
Better error checking is needed.
