of the sets after an error.
A side effect is that it now does fetch-install-fetch-install..., not
fetch-...-fetch-install-...install.
The set selection code now uses a byte per set (not a bit-pattern) removing
the restriction of 32 sets, and allowing a per set status display (TBC).
Also TBC is deleting sets from /usr/INSTALL.
However I believe it works...
contain a GENERIC kernel.
With this commit, NetBSD can now be successfully installed via sysinst on the
IP12 (Personal Iris / Indigo R3k) family of workstations.
* Add the IP12 kernel set to the list, and make it the default kernel selection
if we're installing on an IP12,
* Don't install ARCS bootblocks on IP12,
* Install the ECOFF kernel to the volume header for IP12.
Move info about cylinders to the 'ask for units' menu.
(translations need checking, done by cutting sentences)
Stop i386 always asking for units.
Use BIOS cylinders for MBR and disk cylinders for the disklabel.
(code intended to do this, but got it wrong...)
Mark some menus as 'sub menu' or MC_SUBMENU so that the screen underneath
is saved.
Add GENERIC.MPACPI to i386 menu.
- Rename run_prog() to run_program() and remove the 'errmsg' argument (almost
never used).
- Be consistent about #define<space> in defs.h
- Allow BSDFFS partitions to be FFSv1 or FFSv2 (fixes PR install/23547)
- i386: install correct bootblocks for root filesystem type.
- Do 'fsck -p' before all mounts (but never a full fsck), rename fsck_xxx()
to mount_xxx() and remove some wrapper functions.
- Allow root to be an APPLEUFS partition - and allow them to be newfsed,
should fix PR install/23198
- Redo fstab processing for upgrade to avoid large static data items and
memory leaks. Change walk() to abort on user defined error.
(the fstab stuff really needs more work though...)
- i386: 'Warp' cursor to alternate option when selecting console/bootblocks,
should fix PR port-i386/23546.
- Allow MENU_ok and MENU_yesno to take user defined title.
- Ensure that mountpoint not defined for swap (and similar issues) when
editing netbsd label.
- Tweaks to error handling in run_program(), allow user to say that errors
are expected or that the display shouldn't be cleared before returning.
- Remove some old code that has been festering under #if 0
- rework run_prog() so that the program name (etc) is usually displayed if
the program generates any output, or terminates with an error.
Allow arguments to included in single quotes.
Try to collect console output so it doesn't interfere with curses.
- Add a '*' to the cylinder count if non-integral number of cylinders
(on disklabel editor)
- Only show partition type for unused partitions.
- Show size including unused space on '+' partition, remove a..z since
the don't relate to partition IDs (netbsd partition sizes)
- Fix deleting of 'user' partitions - killed size of next ptn.
- Don't default a swap partition is the disk already has one.
- Fix deleting of extended MBR partitions - changed size of ptn 2.
- Show error message if user tries something illegal in mbr editor.
- Default to old diskname (actually disk type - dunno why!)
- Use MI enable_rc_conf() to set RC_CONFIGURED=YES, use a single sed
command instead of a raft of code playing with files etc.
- Float some menus to just below header text, saves counting and lets
language variants have different height headers (use y=-1)
- Track whether anything is mounted on /mnt2 better.
- Put more texts into message file.
- Change english prose texts to be more correct.
- Stop french and polish versions core dumping if ptn start/size changed.
- Fix processing logic for saving /etc (action is still borked)
- Do tail-end setup if any sets (eg X) can't be found (but not if you give
in (yet)).
I've also made the set selection happen first. This lets me test it!
also measn the selected sets could be used in the disk partition code.
Removed the 'with X' disk layout question (now too late to change the sets).
- make_bsd_partitions() correctly handles PART_BOOT
- use bsddisklabel.c for pc532 and sgimips (this does change the default size
for the root partition, as it no longer includes twice the memory size).
- Change way ports define disk_names[] (in particular this lets me add "vnd"
for testing), also ensures all ports pick up new drivers.
I've make most ports use the default "wd", "sd", "ld".
Abort the search for disk units if we get ENOENT (ie no /dev entry) to
speed up the case where we are looking for a disk type that isn't
supprted by the port.
(it is possible we could just check all possible disks on all ports...)
left consistently.
Make the i386 install let you partition a disk beyond the CHS limit if the
system bios doesn't support LBA reads (the checks aren't ideal yet).
Make the bsddislabel.c code usable onan i386 system - but don't use it yet.
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.
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.
the new disk. This requires my previous changes to sgivol to get a non-
interactive mode. While here, change the way sysinst invoked sgivol (it
called system(), now it uses run_prog()) so we don't mess up the logging
and scripting contexts.
For now, we keep the GENERIC/GENERIC_INDY sets, but make the labels a
bit clearer as to their purposes.
XXX: Still need code to install bootloader into volhdr; need either to
integrate into MI installboot or fix up sgivol (I have changes from Scott
for sgivol, just haven't folded them in yet).
