something applies to. So change #ifndef to an explicit list of defines.
* Treate sparc64 and ia64 as 64-bit platforms, which means larger roots.
* sparc64 should halt back to the firmware, not reset.
* sparc64 doesn't need to play MS-DOS/BIOS partition crap games.

a few cosmetic problems:
o Allow it to work with scripts (see man page or install.cfg file).
o Preserve old softupdates flag across newfs toggles
o Clean up partitioned/labelled flag handling
o Don't ask for MBR choice again if you've already written it out.
o Actually document the new features.
non-advertised option (F = "FreeBSD only"), and leave the A key with
standard partitioning. It seems people still want a runtime backdoo
to get to dangerously dedicated mode.
at people. This has been sitting in my tree for a few months now. I
have spoken with quite a few folks about this and the support for doing
this was pretty strong. I dont remember names though, so I cannot share
the blame :-(. Note that this does not *remove* DD mode, it just stops
waving it at new users. You can still set it via config files etc, and
the bootblocks and kernel still support it. You can still use disklabel
to make true DD disks.
no as a default. Sysinstall should be both less dangerous and less
annoying as a result of this change, though that's just my opinion
(since they're the defaults which annoy ME the least :).
boot.flp and plain boot.flp.
- Clean up crunchgen related routine.
- Add PC-98 support.
TODO:
o Documentation
o Fix some messages for PC-98
o Decrease the size of fixit.flp to 1.2MB
o I18N (See: http://www.jp.FreeBSD.org/BootAsia/index.html)
No response from jkh

o Allow use of "G" in label editor to stand for gigabytes. This
is actually an unrelated patch which I meant to commit separately
but what the heck, it's late.

as redoing all the menus to have proper, or at least non-hallucinogenic,
keyboard accelerators.
This requires my recent update to libdialog to work properly and will
probably also exhibit some other "interesting" behavior while the last
few missing screen clears are found (which is why I'm not going to MFC
immediately). At least now, however, sysinstall does not gratuitously
redraw random screens at the drop of a hat and drive serial console
installers out of their minds.
I backed-out the changes in -current and didn't touch stable at all (I
thought I had my patch order reversed, not what actually happened).
AIEEE! I can't even blame the crack for this one since I broke my
crack pipe a few weeks ago. I think sleep deprivation gets the blame
for this one.
Medal for noticing this one goes to: Jim Bloom <bloom@acm.org>
bringing in DHCP support. The only thing I left out were Poul-Henning's
newfs changes since I'm not sure if he's brought the rest of that support
into -stable yet. If it turns out that this is the case, I'll MFC those
changes too.
Now we know which variables are internal and which need to be
backed to /etc/rc.conf.site. rc.conf is not touched now.
Also kget kernel change information back properly and set up a loader.rc
file to use it.
Now you can use one without entering the other and it will DTRT.
These changes just allowed me to do the most straight-forward new disk
installation I've ever managed with sysinstall.
