in the "Available disks" list during sysinst procedure
to prevent users from shooting their foot in case of
installation using install-image on a USB stick.
Per suggestion in PR/47195.
in the default file system (assuming which come with the CD/USB image)
and skip distmedium menu if the root file system is not md(4).
Also change "CD-ROM / DVD" menu option accordingly on ports which
have install images. PR/47038
XXX: still no responsible maintainer of non-en translations
the default remains "cd0a", but i386 sets "cd0a", "mcd0a" while vax
takes "cd0a", "racd0a"
- Add get_default_cdrom() to disks.c, which is called in init(). This
checks the contents of hw.disknames against CD_NAMES. The first one
found (minus partition letter) is picked, otherwise the first entry
in CD_NAMES is used
The primary beneficiary is vax systems with an MSCP but no SCSI CD
drive, which now default to (a valid) racd0a rather than an invalid
cd0a. The obvious example being simh-vax
sysinst fails with "floating exception" after
changing MBR partition size in MBR editor menu
if the target disk doesn't have valid MBR partition
or has a valid partition 0 whose offset is not 1MB aligned
(like 63 sectors).
read_mbr() (which calls get_ptn_alignment()) is called
before set_bios_geom(), so bhead is not initialized there
and ptn_alignment could be zero.
To workaround, explicitly call get_ptn_alignment() again
in edit_mbr() to update ptn_alignemnt per BIOS geom values.
Enables the user to configure a few additional items, including using
pkgin to manage binary packages, in a post-install menu which replaces
the series of questions (Do you want to set a root password? etc).
This is by no means a perfect solution, nor should it discourage anyone
from working on more sweeping changes to sysinst.
Some bug fixes, and .de translation provided by Julian Fagir.
XXX .es, .fr and .pl translations still needed. Please help!
i.e. DEFAULT_UFS2 as src/distrib/utils/sysinst/bsddisklabel.c does
since post-NetBSD5. This avoids rendering an i386 or amd64 system
unbootable if the given example is thoughtlessly cut-and-pasted on
a NetBSD6.x system (been there, done that ;-) Qualify the descriptions
of /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv{1,2} along those lines.
Fixed a small typo in comment of distrib/utils/sysinst/arch/amd64/md.h.
Ok by releng@
- fix typos in timecounter names.
- make sure to drain Tx FIFO to avoid clobbering
kernel boot messages.
- allow to have the 3rd UART.
- add missing time-of-day clock support.
Ok by releng.
