(I hope the edits for the ports I can't build are right!)
i386/amd64 pick up a minor change to the md_read_bootcode which
might preseve the bootselect config.
on a set, instead of hardcoding the number of parts in sysinst (which gets
out of sync easily). The fdlast field of the distinfo struct has been
removed.
This solution is a bit simplistic but... anybody using the floppy
installation method will have to split sets himself (as we don't provide
them), so he will know which is the last one. Also, he will be able to
use whatever chunk size he wants.
Closes PR install/5050. Ok'ed by fvdl.
Use /var/db/obsolete instead of /etc/obsolete
etc/Makefile:
Create separate target "install-obsolete-files" to populate
/var/db/obsolete, instead of using "install-etc-files".
Makefile:
Add do-obsolete target, to run "cd etc && make install-obsolete-files",
and add this to BUILDTARGETS.
This moves the "obsolete files" creation from "distribution" to "build".
Per discussion with Andrew Brown.
- filenames in obsolete sets start with "./" not "/" (i changed that a
while ago, and forgot to update this)
- only call target_prefix() once, not for each filename parsed...
- look for obsolete lists in /etc/obsolete/%s instead of /dist/%s_obsolete
- md_set_no_x() was turning off the "misc" and "text" sets and
not turning off the "xcomp" and "xmisc" sets.
- now that a kernel is installed as "/netbsd" by default, do not
try to symlink (!) from /netbsd-GENERIC (which does not exist)
to /netbsd.
also:
- instead of printing the 3 kernel sets all as "Kernel : ",
now use "Kernel : ", "Kernel(SCSI3): " and "Kernel(SUN4U): "
- add a note to md.c and the menus.md.* files to keep these lists
in sync (so that the first problem above does not occur again.)
missing:
- a way to force that one and only one of the 3 kernel sets are
selected. at least the default install works now.
-e arg to abort after first error.
This means the extract process doesn't spew seemingly-endless
"No space left on device" if the destination partition fills.
Handle the "use existing" option for partitions (but keep d as the
boot partition).
While I'm there use get_real_geom() instead of custom code to get the
existing disklabel.
