- Use ln -fs to create a symlink.
- Remove pkgadd for docports.
- Use WITHOUT_JADETEX=yes instead of WITH_JADETEX=no.
- Add {WORLD,KERNEL}_FLAGS to [BTWK]MAKE.
- Use makefs(8) and gpart(8) for sparc64 ISO image[2].
- Add publisher option to makefs(8)[2].

Volume Descriptor (section 7.4). In short, upper-case alphanumeric + some
symbols only. While the makefs utility automatically converts the characters,
$LABEL should be consistent in the scripts.
o boot/mfsroot.gz is no more. Copy it only when it exists so as still
to be compatible with Makefile.sysinstall.
o while here, make ispfw.ko optional as well.
o '-b bootimage' is not a valid argument for makefs. What was meant
was '-o bootimage'.
o create the boot image in the current directory so that makefs can
find the file. Previously it had to be created under $BASE because
that's how mkisofs wanted it.
makes booting more reliable (and working at all on USB sticks). While here,
move responsibility for setting up fstab into the various platform mk-*.sh
scripts.
Suggested by: many
bootable ISO. HP machines (like the rx2600) that (also) have isp(4)
may have a non-standard firmware on the controller. Our isp(4) driver
is not able to work with those and even panics. This makes installing
FreeBSD rather impossible. By adding the ispfw.ko module, we give the
user a chance to upload a certified firmware onto the card and so make
it possible to either use the isp(4) successfully or otherwise avoid
the panic.
hasn't been any package build for ia64 for a long time and in this
case it means that the cdrtools package on the FTP sites is one that
doesn't have mkisofs. This breaks the release build. By trying to
build the port first, we protect ourselves a bit more against this.
we created for the boot floppy, or 2) construct an EFI partition
by copying bits from /boot. The first approach creates a bootable
CD image that loads a memory disk and starts sysinstall, the second
approach creates a generic bootable CD.

anything. Versions copied:
