the card's current media type. Otherwise it always defaults to 'autoselect'
which is not supported by all cards (e.g. cs(4) in NetBSD/shark).
This was causing problems when configuring an interface with dhclient, as
sysinst could incorrectly reset the media type (the net_media variable) to
'autoselect', writing incorrect ifconfig.<if> files in the target file
system.

* Support for detachable sensors.
* Cleaned up the API for simplicity and efficiency.
* Ability to send capacity/critical/warning events to powerd(8).
* Adapted all the code to the new locking order.
* Compatibility with the old envsys API: the ENVSYS_GTREINFO
and ENVSYS_GTREDATA ioctl(2)s are supported.
* Added support for a 'dictionary based communication channel' between
sysmon_power(9) and powerd(8), that means there is no 32 bytes event
size restriction anymore.
* Binary compatibility with old envstat(8) and powerd(8) via COMPAT_40.
* All drivers with the n^2 gtredata bug were fixed, PR kern/36226.

FORTIFY_SOURCE feature of libssp, thus checking the size of arguments to
various string and memory copy and set functions (as well as a few system
calls and other miscellany) where known at function entry. RedHat has
evidently built all "core system packages" with this option for some time.
This option should be used at the top of Makefiles (or Makefile.inc where
this is used for subdirectories) but after any setting of LIB.
This is only useful for userland code, and cannot be used in libc or in
any code which includes the libc internals, because it overrides certain
libc functions with macros. Some effort has been made to make USE_FORT=yes
work correctly for a full-system build by having the bsd.sys.mk logic
disable the feature where it should not be used (libc, libssp iteself,
the kernel) but no attempt has been made to build the entire system with
USE_FORT and doing so will doubtless expose numerous bugs and misfeatures.
Adjust the system build so that all programs and libraries that are setuid,
directly handle network data (including serial comm data), perform
authentication, or appear likely to have (or have a history of having)
data-driven bugs (e.g. file(1)) are built with USE_FORT=yes by default,
with the exception of libc, which cannot use USE_FORT and thus uses
only USE_SSP by default. Tested on i386 with no ill results; USE_FORT=no
per-directory or in a system build will disable if desired.

Add a new sensor type, ENVSYS_DRIVE, to report drive status. From OpenBSD.
Add bio and sysmon support to mfi(4). This allow userland to query

Add bio(4) to amd64 and i386 GENERIC.

A bootable sgimips has a volume header prepended, and so is useless for

images. amd64 gets a single kernel; i386 images gets 3 kernels:
- netbsd, copy from netbsd-INSTALL_LARGE.gz, loaded by default
- nbsd-l, copy from netbsd-INSTALL_LAPTOP.gz
- nbsd-i, copy from netbsd-INSTALL.gz for those who want the traditionnal
non-ACPI kernel
- drop the bootcd-laptop image
both gets an installcd image, which is the same as bootcd but with the
binary sets in addition to kernels.
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.
- allow to specify the "instkernel" directory, and allow to put multiple
kernels on the image
- allow to specify the directory where the image will be created
- only use bootxx_cd9660 if it exists
- search for second-stage boot as usr/mdec/boot.${MACHINE} in addition to
usr/mdec/boot
- make 'installboot -e' optional
- use target 'release' or 'iso_image' depending on ${CDRELEASE}
- call some MD targets, which will eventually complete the file list or
make the image bootable
