editor, in order to support specifying UFS2 as a newfs option.
(1) Support three different newfs types: NEWFS_UFS, NEWFS_MSDOS, and
NEWFS_CUSTOM. Don't mix up the arguments to them: you can't use
soft updates on an msdos file system.
(2) Distinguish adding new arguments to the newfs command line from
replacing it. Permit the addition of new arguments by the user for
NEWFS_UFS. If we entirely replace the command line provided by
sysinstall, call it NEWFS_CUSTOM. 'N' will now add additional
arguments; 'Z' will opt to replace the newfs command line entirely,
but will prompt the user with their current command line as a
starting point.
(3) Construct the newfs command line dynamically based on the options
provided by the user at label-time. Right now, this means selecting
UFS1 vs. UFS2, and the soft updates flag. Drop in some variables
to support ACLs and MAC Multilabel in the future also, but don't
expose them now.
This provides sysinstall with the ability to do more "in band" editing
of the newfs command line, so we can provide more support for the user,
but doesn't sacrifice the ability to entirely specify the newfs command
line of the user is willing to give up on the cushiness factor. It
also makes it easier for us to specify defaults in the future, and
define conditional behavior based on user configuration selections.
For now, we default to UFS1, and permit UFS2 to be used as the root
only on non-i386 systems.
While I was there, I dropped the default fragment and block sizes,
since newfs has much more sensible defaults now.

partitions marked as being of type efi. This change adds code to
1. actually run the newfs command at mount time (install.c),
2. display the newfs state on screen (label.c)
3. allow toggling of the newfs state (label.c)
Even though newfs(8)-ing FAT partitions can be of use on i386
machines in general, it has been opted to minimize impact for
now.
With this change there's no a priori difference between EFI and
FAT partitions. With this change and the corresponding change to
libdisk, we can create EFI partitions, just like regular FAT
partitions.

argument as of revision 1.52 (July 12, 1996, about a month after I
graduated from high school) when 'newfs -u' support was axed, so remove it.
This also allows us to remove a hack in the create partition case where we
created the partition twice since we didn't have the size the first time.
something applies to. So change #ifndef to an explicit list of defines.
* Treate sparc64 and ia64 as 64-bit platforms, which means larger roots.
* sparc64 should halt back to the firmware, not reset.
* sparc64 doesn't need to play MS-DOS/BIOS partition crap games.

to recover its space into the previous partition. Revert 'D'elete
to not attempt to recover any space.
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.
The user can still toggle it back off in the label editor (or post-install
for that matter) if they explicitly do not want soft updates to be used
for some reason.

sysinstall will automatically expand the previous partition to take up
the freed up space. So you can 'D'elete /home and /usr will get the
combined space, or you can 'D'elete /tmp and /var will get the combined space.
This gives the user, developer, or lay person a huge amount of flexibility
in constructing partitions from an 'A'uto base. It takes only 3 or 4
keystrokes to achieve virtually any combination of having or not having
a /tmp and/or /home after doing an 'A'uto create.
Change 'A'uto creation of /var/tmp to 'A'uto creation /tmp, which should
be less controversial.

Eliminate an old warning brought about by insufficient foresight when creating
the Menu structure. Have I ever mentioned that sysinstall really needs to
be rewritten?
a few cosmetic problems:
o Allow it to work with scripts (see man page or install.cfg file).
o Preserve old softupdates flag across newfs toggles
o Clean up partitioned/labelled flag handling
o Don't ask for MBR choice again if you've already written it out.
o Actually document the new features.

as redoing all the menus to have proper, or at least non-hallucinogenic,
keyboard accelerators.
This requires my recent update to libdialog to work properly and will
probably also exhibit some other "interesting" behavior while the last
few missing screen clears are found (which is why I'm not going to MFC
immediately). At least now, however, sysinstall does not gratuitously
redraw random screens at the drop of a hat and drive serial console
installers out of their minds.
Now we know which variables are internal and which need to be
backed to /etc/rc.conf.site. rc.conf is not touched now.
Also kget kernel change information back properly and set up a loader.rc
file to use it.
