+ Remove 'sleep' (not sure why it is so important in fix-it mode).
+ Remove ability to mount MSDOSFS as that is not a typical filesystem on an
alpha; and thus does not really add to the fix-it mix.
+ Sync style with i386.
+ uses `mkisofs' rather than `mkhybrid' as the new mkisofs is the merger
of the two
+ checks for `setcdboot's existsance and tries to pkg_add it if needed
+ removes English contraction

as part of the release if MAKE_ISOS is set. Will also build the
first CD with packages (in addition to the "minimal" CD) if CD_EXTRA_BITS
points to them. This probably need a bit more work to get fully useful,
but it at least covers the basics for now.
I had to be aggressively Draconian to succeed.
I diked out:
+ Multia, NoName, PC/EB 64, Aspen Alpine support.
+ SCSI tape support
+ AMI MegaRAID controller support
+ All parallel bus support (includes PLIP)
+ vx (3c590, 3c595), pcn (AMD Am79C97x PCI 10/100), sf (Adaptec AIC-6915),
sis (SiS 900/SiS 7016), ste (Sundance ST201 (D-Link DFE-550TX)),
wb (Winbond W89C840F) support.
If the removal of any of this support causes heartburn, please let me know.
only, the libs will still have the `rcsid's in them).
+ mount_mfs is OBE.
+ The Alpha install does not support SLIP, PCCARD or USB installs; so we do
not need the associated userland utils.
+ Do not need libipx as I have conditionally diked that functional out of
ifconfig(8).
Dike out support for DEC3000/300* Pelic* and the DEC3000/[4-9]00
Flamingo/Sandpiper families, SLIP, lance Ethernet (especially since `le'
based Alphas are diked out now too), POSIX P1003_1B real-time extentions,
and last but not least "NOBLOCKRANDOM" since the random device is removed.
This lets us fit [barely!]:

Remove `pmtimer' from the MFSROOT kernel as `apm' is already removed.
`pmtimer' also removed from the Alpha kernel incase it ever winds up there.

SCSI card (should it ever find its way into GENERIC); LPT (we don't need
to print during install time); the parallel 'geek' port; generic USB
driver (thus some attached USB devices will not be detected and thus the
user may wonder what is going on, we couldn't do anything with the device
if only ugen attached to it anyway and we are getting very, very low on
available space; USB "Human Interface Devices" as we don't do anything
with them during installation; and USB printers (same argument as LPT).
over flowing its britches. So remove all ppbus bits except those for PLIP
(untested), and all USB bits as SRM does not know what USB is. Also remove
/dev/random as I don't think we need it just for whacking bits onto a disk.

IPv6 configuration is only done by rtsol. Does someone really
need manual configuration? :-)
You can specify IPv6 DNS server as well.
We have only one server ftp7.jp.freebsd.org that speaks IPv6
in this time. ftp7.jp speaks IPv4 as well and also listed as
Japan #7.

- Use config file in src/release/$MACHINE if exist. If it does not exist,
use in src/release.

- Clean up crunchgen related routine.
- Add PC-98 support.

o Documentation
o Fix some messages for PC-98
o Decrease the size of fixit.flp to 1.2MB

Kill duplicates for programs that have been in the boot crunched image
as well as on the fixit floppy (pwd, newfs, hostname, test). Our
space is really too valuable to have them around there twice. I doubt
pwd needs to be there at all since it's a builtin into sh(1) anyway
(oh, and the same applies to test(1) IIRC), but heck, leave them by
now.
Use the new `fixit' target in MAKEDEV to create the /dev nodes on
the floppy, instead of including the kitchensink...
Finally, tune the values used for creating the floppy. I currently
end up with
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity iused ifree %iused
/dev/vnn0c 1363 1301 -47 104% 368 14 96%
...which is not quite ideal yet, but at least a working configuration
again.
a bit less legacy hardware support, that all still remaining a supported
option with kern.flp (and a two-floppy install). This will be documented
in the release notes, I promise.
to actually work in this application. Urk. This probably explains the
problems people have been having with installing -snap. My bad. Will
fix and upload a new beta snap to ftp.freebsd.org.

When building a release, RELEASE_CRUNCH is defined for a `make' of
the objects required by the crunch of each program. The object list
is still obtained in the same way, so you must make sure that all
objects are built (empty if necessary) by this make. ppp/Makefile
provides an example.
Reviewed by: jkh
moment - the compile-time options are useless since the object
files are being used from ppp to build the crunched image, and
the ppp objects include DES at this stage since they were last
built that way to make the secure distribution. Hmmmm!
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.
. Don't gzip the crunched binary by now; it just fits, and execution is
a lot faster this way (it's truly demand-paged again).
. Add more(1), ft(8), protocols(5), a stripped down services(5).
. Improve the .profile, and make sysinstall actually use it again.
Still no go for a 4 MB configuration though. :-(
