one can set the 'noError' variable to ignore any errors that occur for the
next command. However, the code was only unsetting 'noError' when an error
actually occurred, so if you set 'noError', the next command completed ok,
and the command after that failed, the second command's failure would be
ignored. This fixes this by performing the 'noError' check earlier and
then unsetting 'noError' after every command that is run.

This is a WIP for 5.0 DP #1, so it is still rough around the edges and
does not GC the old XFree86 3.3.6 handling stuff that should be GC'ed.

case of a cross build).
This introduced chicken and egg problem - we need boot images
early in the "depend" stage but they have not yet been built.
Work around this by excluding the generated makeboot.c source
from the "depend" list; it's okay because we hardcode all its
dependencies explicitly. We actually lose the dependency bit
on <sys/types.h> but it's probably okay too as the only thing
we use is the u_char datatype and this is unlikely to change.
After all, it's normal for sloppy cleaning to cause problems.

all facilities that previously relied on /proc have been rewritten
to use ptrace(). procfs has presented a substantial security
hazard for years, with several user->root compromises in the last
few years. Procfs will continue to be available but will require
administrator intervention to use.

rev 1.5 src/sys/boot/alpha/boot1/sys.c

be fixed soon (specifically in time for 4.5-RELEASE on the RELENG_4

Do not auto-create /home as per release engineers decision (though
I think this is a mistake). However, all of this code will be
replaced later on anyway either with Jordan's stuff or with
some other sort of templater, so it isn't a big deal.
o Move nfs_reserved_port_only out of security profiles (where it was
set somewhat improperly) to the Security options menu directly.
Previously, the variable was set to true for Moderate, but not for
Extreme, which is at best inconsistent.
o Update the Security Profiles help file to remove reference to the
NFS reserved port.
o Note that the kernel currently defaults the sysctl to '0', but
sysinstall has changed it to '1' as a default as of late; however,
rc.conf sets the value to NO as the default. This change brings
them relatively into sync.

to determine whether LOMAC is enabled at boot. Probably, eventually,
many of the 'Security Profile' menu choices should be pulled out
independently into the Security Menu, so as to make them individually
selectable.

Following recent discussions on the -arch mailing list, involving dillon
and mckusick, this change parallels the one made over a decade ago when
the default was bumped up from 4096/512.
This should provide significant performance improvements for most
folks, less significant performance losses for a few folks and
wasted space lost to large fragments for many folks.
For discussion, please see the following thread in the -arch archive:
Subject: Using a larger block size on large filesystems
The discussion ceases to be relevant when the issue of partitioning
schemes is raised.
