since we have no ACPI feature in the installation kernel at this time.
Without having this, we'll see
ACPI no autoload failed -- no such file or directory
message at boot time, and it makes some confusion to the users. We can
backout this change if installation kernel has ACPI feature.

- don't make device files since we are in the DEVFS era.
(for the last resort, fixit.flp still has /dev/MAKEDEV.)
- increase FIXITINODE size to 10 times (40000).
After this change, we have 42kbytes of free space, and 38
of free inodes (confirmed with 5.0-CURRENT-20020327-JPSNAP).
Since 4-stable doesn't have DEVFS, we can't MFC this (except FIXITINODE).
/etc/defaults/pccard.conf. Assume for now that only
MACHINE_ARCH=="i386" wants to do PCCARD installs. We're still using
too much space, but this is a big help.
We ensure that 'ports.tgz' tarball should have ports/distfiles directory.
At first, ${CHROOTDIR}/usr/ports is empty (rm -rf ports), then extract
ports files from CVS repository. Then if RELEASEDISTFILES is defined,
${CHROOTDIR}/usr/ports/distfiles directory is created by cp(1). However,
if you don't specify RELEASEDISTFILES, there is no chance to create
${CHROOTDIR}/usr/ports/distfiles directory.

DOCDISTFILES if defined. No impact should happen with this change.
DOCDISTFILES is introduced by rev. 1.541, to point the directory that
contains the distfiles for ports/textproc/docproj. It's good, but
we also build ports/sysutils/mkisofs during the release (if MAKE_ISOS
is defined). It is natural that cdrtools tarball is prefetched, then
copy it under ${CHROOTDIR}/usr/ports/distfiles.
As a result, DOCDISTFILES variable is somewhat abused for non-doc
tarballs; *DOC*DISTFILES is no longger appropriate name for that.

are removed, because ports.tgz includes distfiles by accident.
However, removing files/directories is *not* mandatory. The only
requirement is "ports.tgz doesn't include distfiles/* but distfiles
directory itself". If this is correct, the right way is to set an
option to tar(1), not to include these files.
This commit is based on PR: 34194, but a little bit of modification
is made by me (original patch doesn't include 'distfiles' directory).

5.0-CURRENT-20020121-JPSNAP was failed to build since kern.flp has no

Previously, we built the RELNOTESng files "in place" and then
populated the media (e.g. floppy, cdrom, ftp) areas from the build
directories. However, the distributions got rolled after the
RELNOTESng build, and thus picked up the rendered RELNOTESng files.
Now, we install the RELNOTESng documents to R/stage/release.doc, then
clean out the original directories in src/release/doc. We use the
renditions in the staging area to populate the media areas.

on CD's 1 and 2. Create a simple /boot/loader.conf on each CD that loads
/boot/mfsroot.gz as a mfs_root image. The mfsroot moved from /mfsroot.gz
to /boot/mfsroot.gz so that all of the boot stuff is in /boot. This allows
a full kernel to be used when installing from CD on all architectures
that support CD booting. Note that on x86, this requires using
/boot/cdboot as a no-emulation boot image instead of /floppies/boot.flp.
Alpha CD. This makes it easier to customize ISO's locally by being able
to replace either the mfsroot or the kernel w/o having to do both. It also
allows us to switch to using the full GENERIC kernel when booting from CD
on the Alpha and on x86 when using cdboot. We don't do this yet, however.

I guess I pooched the permissions on the scripts before committing them
since they're not executable and now it's too late to change (I think -
I suppose you could chmod the ,v files and it might inheirit but I don't
feel like asking the repomeisters to try that).

first CD with packages (in addition to the "minimal" CD) if CD_EXTRA_BITS
points to them. This probably need a bit more work to get fully useful,

NO_SENDMAIL flag if set. The whole NO_FOO mechanism in /usr/src

Remove the old *.TXT release documentation files, as they
have been subsumed into RELNOTESng. The new layout will greatly
facilitate their maintenence and help keep them internally consistent.
