1. Provide larger /, /var, and /tmp partitions (the last increase was
in 2001, and we now have both larger hard drives and more space-hungry
software.)
2. If there is enough space available, allocate extra space to /var
sufficient to store a crash dump.
On systems where harddrivesize > 3 * RAMsize + 10GB, the default sizes
will now be as follows:
swap RAMsize * 2
/ 512 MB
/tmp 512 MB
/var 1024 MB + RAMsize
/usr the rest (8GB or more)
On systems where harddrivesize > RAMsize / 8 + 2 GB, the default sizes
will be in the following ranges, with space allocated proportionally:
swap RAMsize / 8 -- RAMsize * 2
/ 256 MB -- 512 MB
/tmp 128 MB -- 512 MB
/var 128 MB -- 1024 MB
/usr 1536 MB -- 8192 MB
On systems with even less disk space, the existing behaviour is not
changed.

it is running during installations. The vsystem() function does get
used after this happens (e.g. if you manually configure the network
interface and ask it to enable the interface) so it needs to be a
little smarter about whether it uses /stand/sh or /bin/sh.

the NTP server list.
The servers are by Internet Multifeed Co., and connected to their
IX service JPNAP. It would be a good NTP server for machines in Japan.

MFC after: 1 day
with EBUSY and a cdrom is not mounted at /cdrom, sysinstall fails to
treat it as an error and thinks that the disk mounted ok. However, it
doesn't find a cdrom.inf file so it complains. Later when it tries to
unmount the disk due to a mediaClose() umount(2) returns an error, and it
never clears its internal mounted flag. The fix here is to properly
handle EBUSY as an error if there isn't a CD already mounted at /cdrom.
- Add a new CDROMInitQuiet variable that can be used to shut up the dialog
box about the mount(2) system call failing when trying to mount a CD-ROM.
This is used by the feature described below.
- When using a fixit CD, first try to see if we can mount the disc in the
drive now and use it as a fixit CD. If not, then prompt the user to
insert the disc and try again. If we do succeed on the first "silent"
probe then we don't ask the user to eject the disk after leaving fixit
mode.
- Add a simple file existence test to make sure that the disc that we mount
really is a livefs disc.
- Explicitly switch back to ttyv0 when using the standard console after
the fixit shell dies. Previously this behavior worked accidentally
because all the fixit modes popped up a dialog box which contained a
hidden switch to ttyv0.

disk. This is main reason why sysinstall presents SCSI CDROM to
available disks in Fdisk/Label menu. In addition, adding a blank
SCSI CDROM to the menu generates floating point exception in sparc64.
Disk_Names() just extracts sysctl "kern.disks". Why GEOM treats SCSI
CDROM as a disk is beyond me and that should be investigated.
For temporary workaround, ignore SCSI CDROM device.
