at system shutdown. Disable with random_seed=NO in rc.conf if desired.
Goes to some trouble to never load or save to network filesystems.
Entropy should really be loaded by the boot loader but I am still
sorting out how to pass it to the kernel.
RTF_ANNOUNCE was defined as RTF_PROTO2. The flag is used to indicated
that host should act as a proxy for a link level arp or ndp request.
(If RTF_PROTO2 is used as an experimental flag (as advertised),
various problems can occur.)
This commit provides a first-class definition with its own bit for
RTF_ANNOUNCE, removes the old aliasing definitions, and adds support
for the new RTF_ANNOUNCE flag to netstat(8) and route(8).,
Also, remove unused RTF_ flags that collide with RTF_PROTO1:
netinet/icmp6.h defined RTF_PROBEMTU as RTF_PROTO1
netinet/if_inarp.h defined RTF_USETRAILERS as RTF_PROTO1
(Neither of these flags are used anywhere. Both have been removed
to reduce chances of collision with RTF_PROTO1.)
Figuring this out and the diff are the work of Beverly Schwartz of
BBN.
(Passed release build, boot in VM, with no apparently related atf
failures.)

This is used by disk tools such as disklabel(8) to dynamically decide is
the undelyling platform uses a disklabel-in-mbr-partition or not
(instead of using a compile-time list of ports).
getlabelusesmbr() reads the sysctl kern.labelusesmbr, takes its value from the
machdep #define LABELUSESMBR.
For evbmips, make LABELUSESMBR 1 if the platform uses pmon
as bootloader, and 0 (the previous value) otherwise.
listens on drvctl for new devices and invokes MAKEDEV for them.
missing:
- manual page
- rc.d script
- more testing
but it works well enough to make new disk nodes appear in /dev when
netbsd sees them and they're missing. you will need to make sure
you have a new /dev/MAKEDEV for this to work properly (postinstall
should handle this normally, of course.)
thanks jared!
