rc.i386 failed messily when I used a serial console.
Editors note:
Use file redirection so that all the kbdcontrol and vidcontrol
commands act upon /dev/ttyv0 instead of stdin. Though this feature
is not documented it is the intended behavior of {vid,kbd}control
and shall be documented in the future as such.

changes to it based upon other outstanding bug reports and commits made
after his work.
Comments:
(a) sysconfig is still used to do all configuration. I was not going to
change that out from under you.... a user never need edit netstart
or rc* unless they're being very weird.
(b) rc.maint has been folded back into rc. It is just unworkable as
a separate chunk because of ordering bogosities
(c) netstart does what it says... it starts up enough of the network to
get up, it doesn't start every bloody daemon that might talk to a
socket... netstart ifconfig's the devices and sets up routing if
configured to do so.
(d) nfs disks are mounted immediately after netstart completes
(e) syslog is started as early as possible (right after nfs) so that error
messages can get logged to remote syslog servers properly
(f) named is started (there is an argument that says that named should be
started before syslogd because if you are the dns server for your domain,
you'd like named to resolve remote hosts in syslog.conf, but this is
a minority case and the trivial workarround is to put the syslog host
in /etc/hosts or use an /etc/resolv.conf -- why? because you want syslog
to catch named errors, which is a MUCH more important and likely occurance)
(g) NOW all of the rest of the network daemons such as the time stuff, RPC,
NIS, NFS, Kerberos and inetd are started
(h) the rest of the generic stuff is done (cron/printer/sendmail)
(i) shared libraries are set
(j) /etc/rc.i386 is run (this does FreeBSD/386 specific stuff like ibcs2,
xtend, and all of the syscons stuff
(this is actually started as /etc/rc.`uname -m`
(k) the syscons stuff has gotten a serious cleaning to make it consistent
with rc conventions
(l) rc.local has had the comments about syscons removed (they are not relevant
to this file now) and the full name of the kernel has been restored to
/etc/motd

Fixed the MAKEDEV pattern for SCSI processor type driver so it doesn't
screw up ptys. Does anyone want to suggest a better name than "pt0" for
SCSI processor devices before 2.1?
Support sliced devices better. E.g.:
`sh MAKEDEV sd0' creates [r]sd0 and [r]sd0s[1-4] as well as [r]sd0[a-h]
(the extra devices created by default won't hurt apart from wasting inodes).
`sh MAKEDEV sd0s1[a-h]' creates [r]sd0s1[a-h] (any partition creates all).
`sh MAKEDEV sd0s5' creates [r]sd0s5.
Support unit numbers 0-31 (was 0-6).
For wd:
Remove support for creating DOSpartitions wd*[i-m]. These will get removed
if you run MAKEDEV on `all' or on wd*.
444 -> root.wheel
root -> root.wheel
uucp -> uucp.wheel (perhaps this should be .dialer, but .wheel is safer)
missing -> root.wheel
chown to root is usually bogus because mknod had to be run by root to
create the inode. Setting the group explictly is currently necessary
because MAKEDEV does nothing to ensure that its working directory has
a suitable group.
Driver authors! Please fix any bogons in MAKEDEV that involve your
drivers. The sound devices are still world writable...
for now (there are too many minors to create by default). The special
sliced disk case ssd*|svn*|swd*) can almost replace the standard disk
case sd*|vn*|wd*) now (it just creates a few more devices), but there
will have to be special cases to allow creating slices 6-31 and partitions
on slices 2-31.
Fix bogus default cases.
The group was wrong if MAKEDEV was run in a directory with group other
than wheel. This may have messed up the group in recent SNAPs
(sysinstall/obj should have group bin).
Reset the umask to 77 after running MAKEDEV.local. Some cases depend on
the 77 default. MAKEDEV.local and all cases should probably set the
umask explictly and not depend on a default. Most cases already set it.
match all the port names.
Start using shell functions to avoid duplication.
Make tty* independent of cua*. Restore support for old names (tty0 ==
ttyd0, cua0 = cuaa0...).
Restore making of lpt1 and lpt2 by default.
Keep umask 077 for making vty*. World-ioctable vtys are huge security holes
because of bugs in syscons.
Make vga if a vty is made. It may still be required for X. It got nuked
with pc*.
Start using umask consistently to avoid using chmod.

upon disk type. In far more cases than not this is the optimal setting
for any disk drive made after 1990.
This now means all installs will have the disks newfs'ed with either:
newfs -b 8192 -f 1024 -d 0 -n 1
or
newfs -n 4096 -f 512 -d 0 -n 1

again (considering the previous state of affairs, I'm actually rather glad they didn't!).
1. Add to secr and bindists to possibly save the occasional fool who
doesn't RTFM and uses the wrong command to extract this (or even someone
who's legitimately using this to extract on top of a bindist somewhere
*else*).
2. Do the right thing with any symlinks in the src tree. Right now, we're
free of the buggers, but just in case.
The kernel configs already support this, so with a boot floppy or a utility
like booteasy, the user should be able to install and boot off the second drive.
Hurrah.
The configure function now tells the user to type "man 5 resolver"
for more info on resolv.conf, but mentions that the bindist must
be fully installed before this can be done (actually a user won't
have reached this stage if he doesn't have an installed bindist ;-)
2. Added notes that tell the user a little bit about how to use syscons
since they'll be running it from the outset now and would probably like
to know how to switch terminals.

If density == 0, CMOS-detect format assumed.
For old users/pgms use fake partitions now, i.e.

Minor number structure:
0bfffuuu
Fields:
uuu - Unit number. It's possible to install
up to three tape controllers on the same machine,
using DRQs 1..3. Hence, unit number can lie
in range 0..2.
fff - Tape format number:
0 - /dev/rwt0 - default density (auto select)
1 - /dev/rwt0a - QIC 11 (obsolete)
2 - /dev/rwt0b - QIC 24 (60 megabytes)
3 - /dev/rwt0c - QIC 120 (120 megabytes)
4 - /dev/rwt0d - QIC 150 (150 megabytes)
5 - /dev/rwt0e - QIC 300 (300 megabytes?)
6 - /dev/rwt0f - QIC 600 (600 megabytes?)
b - Long block size flag. With this bit set,
the driver will perform all i/o operations
with the controller using 1024-byte
blocks, instead of 512 ones.
Some controllers need it (CMS for example).
If you Wangtek controller does not stream well,
you can try to use /dev/rWt0 device instead
of /dev/rwt0 (uncomment needed lines in /dev/MAKEDEV
to create it).
Block interface (writing blocks less than 2048 bytes) is not functioning
pwoperly. Use raw interface instead.

files from a MS-DOS partition.
Minor cleanup:
fixed spelling error in inst1.install
capitalized sentences in kc.profile
reworded initial load_fd options
partition of the boot disk. So we have yet another medium via
which to load the FreeBSD distribution files. load_fd() has
options for listing and (if reading from the C: drive) changing
directories.
load_fd's notation assumes that the first Primary partition on
disk is the DOS drive C: (since this and only this one is mounted
by install). Otherwise, the notation may be a bit confusing.
We'll know the assumption is bad if people complain about
not finding files on their "C:" drive...
Added a device file existence check to kc.profile.
first) Primary (un-Extended) DOS partition, providing /dev/xx0h
is available. It is mounted on /dos by default. The /etc/fstab
entry omits the dump and fsck fields, i.e.:
/dev/xx0h /dos pcfs rw
The Secondary DOS partition is not used (System ID 0xF2), because I don't
know what that is.
2) Fixed default sizes so that if someone attempts to install BSD on a 24 Mb
partition by accepting defaults, they don't end up with a 1 Mb /usr
partition (up to USRMIN Mb's). In this case, all space is split between
swap and root.
TODO:
1) Extend load_fd() to support loading distribution files directly from
the DOS partition of the hard disk.
2) Provide translated parameters to the install program (maybe
add an option to fdisk). Currently, the true geometry is used as
default, which is inappropriate for coexistence with DOS.
3) Support installing on multiple or secondary disks.

There is a typo in disktab in the NetBSD-0.9 distribution. This may be
already fixed in NetBSD-current, but it's not in any of the source that I've
sup'ed.
line 9 reads:
# sc #sectors/cylinder, nc*nt default
should read:
# sc #sectors/cylinder, ns*nt default
Before starting, it is important to know your hard disk's geometry
(i.e., number of cylinders, heads and sectors/track). If installing
FreeBSD on the same disk as another operating system, then the
two systems should use the same geometry. In particular, FreeBSD's
default geometry is inappropriate for MS-DOS. So in this case, the
DOS geometry should be used instead.
[This seems to be true for SCSI disks. What about IDE? With the new
boot blocks, can we ignore the disks true geometry??]

those who want to install FreeBSD between two existing
partitions.

and miscellaneous programs which get installed into /usr/distbin.
Install now recognizes existing DOS partitions and attempts to install
after them. Theoretically, it also remaps badblocks.
N.B.: The fourth install floppy must have a clean DOS FAT.
Building the new distribution floppies is untested
TODO: Build a disktab entry for existing DOS partitions (except extended
partitions). This would allow loading and/or extracting the distribution
files directly from the DOS hard disk partition.
The following additional changes are needed for the new install disks:
1) Remove from filesystem disk's /filelist: bin/cat, dev/MAKEDEV.local.
2) Remove from the filesystem disk: /bin/cat, /COPYRIGHT and /dev/MAKEDEV.local.
3) Add to the filesystem disk: /sbin/fdisk, /dev/fd1a and /dev/rfd1a.
4) Build a fourth DOS disk containing at least: os-bs, rz/sz
Outstanding problems:
1) If there are >1024 cylinders, then FreeBSD cannot boot unless installed
at cylinder 0 (and since neither can DOS evidently, the two can't share
a disk in this case).
2) If FreeBSD is installed at cylinder 0, subsequent installs tend to fail.
3) If a DOS partition exists, disklabel doesn't seem to update the disk
geometry in the FreeBSD disklabel correctly (so reinstalling FreeBSD with
a new geometry requires installing it at cylinder 0). Rod suggested
invoking disklabel on the raw c-partition. This makes sense, but it
doesn't seem to work (newfs, for instance, can't find the new label).
