XXX - Output is not correct since sysinst does not set the proper LC_CTYPE
yet (which happens to not affect umlauts, but sharp-s (0xdf))
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.
and bcylsize (bios cylinder size) can be calculated in the one place
it is needed.
The ask_sizemult() call will go once I decide what to to with the
(slightly useful) explanatory text about cylinder alignment.
- 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)).
Remove pointless 'len' parameter from read_mbr and write_mbr.
Make read_mbr initialise mbr if it can't be read (delete MD code).
Make i386 always ask at least once about the bootcode.
Move LIB_MOVE and LIB_COUNT from md.h to aout2elf.c
Make same function return useful defaults if it can't find an answer.
Make all ports default to the useful defaults if bios geometry is unknown.
Move some messages to mbr set from mi set.
Fix i386 code that selects which bios disk, simplify interface to menus.
Remove now unnecessary global data from many ports.
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).
This does change the default size of /, but I'm going to rewrite
make_bsd_partitions next to make it less user-hostile.
(I'm not sure adding in 2 * ram is actually useful! Especially size it left
/usr with a -ve size on all my test installs with 256MB ram and 1GB disk)
Make bootsel code delete menu names if the partition is unused.
Use raw device for cdrom access (I've a kernel that doesn't report an invalid
label so /dev/cd0a dosn't work).
- 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.
those ports which are using the now-modified MI mbr.c file which
was recently modified to use those messages. French translation

(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.
and prompt the user for a new archive.
(No idea if this solves the infamous "sysinst random coredump" problem,
but it's worth a shot, and makes sense in any case)
