any way I can. Converted all echo "" to be just echo
Removed sync call that seems to hang due to fd/wd driver interaction..
Now rm /.profile before the cpio floppy is copied in, this should fix
a bugger I was having with an open shell script that gets over written.
after all. Removed it from DOS floppy.
Added COPYRIGHT to DOS floppy since it does have *BSD binaries on it!
Fixed missing ; \ when creating dev entries on filesystem floppy
Fixed rm in wrong directory, please don't rm in the DESTDIR area!!
Subject: Install.notes for FreeBSD-1.0-G
Here is the hacked install notes file for FreeBSD-1.0-GAMMA.
Please get someone to check the few points marked <<please check>>.
From: rgrimes
Checked the <<please check>>, and cleaned up some details.
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).
other tools really want.
Targets sio*) and com*) now create entry named ttyxx, default setup with
a sh MAKEDEV all is to use the sio major numbers, com is all but depreicated
now.
these are not part of the standard distribution and do not belong
in here, this was carry over from earlier work.
Added src-tarball: ssrc-tarball: targets to build the 2 source tar balls,
still have to manually copy/chmod/chown the src tree into the destination
directory and clean out all the obj, and CVS files/dirs, plus run a
make cleandist in it before running these targets, but atleast things are
getting easier to do!
release: now uses fixed floppies target.
is not really needed until we can go multiuser.
Changed name of list from CRYPT_FILES to CRYPT_SRCS, since that is
really what they point to. Added list CRYPT_DIRS, that is the directories
that are in the des distribution.
Fixed kc-xx-floppy dependencies on kc-floppy since it would not do
the right thing with the new target floppies:
Now user ${RELEASEDIR} for dd'ing the floppy images and other stuff having
to do with building the release.
Added new target bin-tarball that builds the bin.tar.gz.?? split archives for
release.
Added new target des-tarball that builds the des.tar.gz.?? split archives for
release.
Added building of /usr/local directories for the CDROMDIST.
New target floppies: that builds all 4 floppies.
New target release: that should completely populate a release tree, except
that the src-tarball target is not yet written.
after the cpio floppy has been installed. This fixes the corrupt disk
problem during the install. Still need to add some echo's about expecting
disk corruption at this point in time.
Upgraded release statement to say 1.0 GAMMA. Added a dummy read before
the instuctions so the user does not get confused by the rapid output
and thinks something scrolled off the screen.
that now takes a directory argument. These files are now built from the
master.passwd file.
Fixed typo on NOOBJ=, was oobj, now noobj.
Rename of targes and variables. INST1 -> FILESYSTEM, INST2 -> CPIO,
kc -> kcopy.
Floppy targets now dd and gzip the image back onto the hard disk so
that less manual work is required when building a release.
Removed reboot from FILESYSTEM floppy and put df back on, and added
mount_isofs. Changed scripts to use halt instead of reboot.
distributions.
Now only populates $DESTDIR/dev if we are building the cdrom distribution,
since this directory is populated by the install tools it was a conflict
to have the dev entries in the full distribution as well.
