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
- introduce SGIMIPS_SGIVOL variable which specifies sgivol(8) path
because nbsgivol tool is available only in TOOLDIR for sgimips and
possibly exists in a different directory from default TOOLDIR path
- use fixed (4096) value for SGIVOLHDR.size because default value
taken from <sys/bootblock.h> is 3135 (not multiples of 4) so it
doesn't match 2048bytes/sector CD images
- also pass SGIVOLHDR.size to sgivol(8) on creating volume
- rename raw iso9660 image before creating SGIVOLHDR to avoid
incomplete (non-bootable) image left on failure of sgivol(8)
Problem (i.e. sgimipscd-3.0.2.iso is not bootable) was reported
by Thierry Lacoste on port-sgimips, and fixed images are also
tested by him on IP22 (and by me on IP32).

routing caused by stale route caches (struct route). Route caches
are sprinkled throughout PCBs, the IP fast-forwarding table, and
IP tunnel interfaces (gre, gif, stf).
Stale IPv6 and ISO route caches will be treated by separate patches.
Thank you to Christoph Badura for suggesting the general approach
to invalidating route caches that I take here.
Here are the details:
Add hooks to struct domain for tracking and for invalidating each
domain's route caches: dom_rtcache, dom_rtflush, and dom_rtflushall.
Introduce helper subroutines, rtflush(ro) for invalidating a route
cache, rtflushall(family) for invalidating all route caches in a
routing domain, and rtcache(ro) for notifying the domain of a new
cached route.
Chain together all IPv4 route caches where ro_rt != NULL. Provide
in_rtcache() for adding a route to the chain. Provide in_rtflush()
and in_rtflushall() for invalidating IPv4 route caches. In
in_rtflush(), set ro_rt to NULL, and remove the route from the
chain. In in_rtflushall(), walk the chain and remove every route
cache.
In rtrequest1(), call rtflushall() to invalidate route caches when
a route is added.
In gif(4), discard the workaround for stale caches that involves
expiring them every so often.
Replace the pattern 'RTFREE(ro->ro_rt); ro->ro_rt = NULL;' with a
call to rtflush(ro).
Update ipflow_fastforward() and all other users of route caches so
that they expect a cached route, ro->ro_rt, to turn to NULL.
Take care when moving a 'struct route' to rtflush() the source and
to rtcache() the destination.
In domain initializers, use .dom_xxx tags.

updating. Probably to an ACPI kernel that need not fit into an 'emulated floppy'
and a 'legacy' kernel that will fit.
In any case the small/tiny kernels which are really for i386 systems with

Remove bootfloppy-small, bootfloppy-tiny, rescue-tiny and bootfloppy-ps2

Also, add ioctls SIOCGIFADDRPREF/SIOCSIFADDRPREF to get/set preference

To activate source-address selection policies in your kernel, add
'options IPSELSRC' to your kernel configuration.
Miscellaneous changes in support of source-address selection:
1 Factor out some common code, producing rt_replace_ifa().
2 Abbreviate a for-loop with TAILQ_FOREACH().
3 Add the predicates on IPv4 addresses IN_LINKLOCAL() and
IN_PRIVATE(), that are true for link-local unicast
(169.254/16) and RFC1918 private addresses, respectively.
Add the predicate IN_ANY_LOCAL() that is true for link-local
unicast and multicast.
4 Add IPv4-specific interface attach/detach routines,
in_domifattach and in_domifdetach, which build #ifdef
IPSELSRC.

selection policy.
