8d8f2bab5a Collapse the "get" code substantially by combining common functions.
Also make mountpoint for each media type easier to change.
Also reshuffled some menus for easier usage.

5214787fd5 OK, I've got two ideas to file in the "really seemed like a good idea
at the time, but on further reflection..." bucket with these changes.

1. Checking the media before frobbing the disks was a fine idea, and
   I wish it could have worked, but that leads to a rather difficult
   situation when you need to mount the media someplace and you're about
   to:

	a) Chroot away from your present root.
	b) Newfs the root to be.

   You're basically screwed since there's no place to stick the mount
   point where it will be found following the newfs/chroot (and eliminating
   the chroot in favor of just using the "root bias" feature would work
   great for the distributions but not the pkg_add calls done by the
   package installer).

2. Automatic timeout handling.  I don't know why, but alarm() frequently
   returns no residual even when the alarm didn't go off, which defies
   the man page but hey, since when was that so unusual?  Take out timeouts
   but retain the code which temporarily replaces the SIGINT handler in
   favor of a more media-specific handler.  This way, at least, if it's hanging
   you can at least whap it.  I think the timeout code would have been losing
   over *really slow* links anyway, so it's probably best that it go.

This should fix NFS, tape & CDROM installs again (serves me right for getting
complacent and using just the FTP installs in my testing).

898f607a63 Argh! Moving the media initialization to before the disk scribbling
section was a good thing, since it made it possible to detect media problems
*before* the installation started, but it also caused various things to
be mounted BEFORE the chroot() call, which definitely messes things up.

Fix this by detecting the pre-chroot() case and mounting into a subdir.

a0e47058d0 Fix a variety of problems with my timeout handling, make it more
configurable (you can now set the timeout interval), fix a crash-bug
when no network device was attached.

1130b656e5 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.

434a0eeb38 1. Correct bogon in cdromInit when running multi-user which took cdrom offline
if wrong version.
2. Make sure network device is initialized in ftpInit
3. Eliminate bogus size values in the menus.  For now, we'll have to admit
   that nobody's added it up yet.  In the future, these menus should be
   build dynamically anyway, not declared static.
4. Add more debugging to networking code to chase the mystery ppp device
   problem.

0fd6d431cf Do a few things I've been threatening to do for a long time:
1. Don't use the MSDOSFS code for accessing FreeBSD distribution data.
   Use Robert Nordier's stand-alone DOS I/O library for the purpose.
   It this works as well as Robert says it does, it should drastically reduce
   (or even eliminate) our "I can't install from my DOS partition!" calls.

2. As a result of the above, go to stdio file descriptors for all
   media types.

3. Taking advantage of #2, start using libftpio for FTP transfers instead
   of maintaining our own parallel version of the FTP transfer code.
   Yay!  I ripped something out for a change!

fc8cb16597 Conditionalize some annoying debug statements, update the docs. 1996-08-23 07:56:06 +00:00
Jordan K. Hubbard
cf1647cd2f Whoops! Now that I'm decompressing docs into /tmp, it's important to
make sure that /tmp is there first! :-)  While I'm at it, clean up the
somewhat inexplicably bogus Mkdir() function.

2113a60c4b Bring this into sync.
I still have a _very very annoying_ display bug which occurs when a menu
item causes a submenu to be displayed - the screen repaints for the original
menu (which is restored upon return from the submenu) are off by about 4
characters.  I've tried restoring the screen, the cursor position, you name
it - same deal.  Grrrr!  This commit is my first step in trying to get someone
else to help me look into this one since I'm just tearing my hair out at this
point!

af4cbec4e1 1. Update all the copyrights to delete useless clauses 3 and 4.
2. Change more of the menu code over to new system.
3. Streamline label editor.

8fdde019ad Sync up my work for the night. This should implement ALL possible
installation methods and provide a fairly robust set of menu options.
This should also fix a few more bugs on Poul-Henning's latest gripe
list.

ba5d6a864b Things were getting seriously hard to find. Do a quick reorg pass over
the code and split things into more logical groupings.
