at the time, but on further reflection..." bucket with these changes. 1. Checking the media before frobbing the disks was a fine idea, and I wish it could have worked, but that leads to a rather difficult situation when you need to mount the media someplace and you're about to: a) Chroot away from your present root. b) Newfs the root to be. You're basically screwed since there's no place to stick the mount point where it will be found following the newfs/chroot (and eliminating the chroot in favor of just using the "root bias" feature would work great for the distributions but not the pkg_add calls done by the package installer). 2. Automatic timeout handling. I don't know why, but alarm() frequently returns no residual even when the alarm didn't go off, which defies the man page but hey, since when was that so unusual? Take out timeouts but retain the code which temporarily replaces the SIGINT handler in favor of a more media-specific handler. This way, at least, if it's hanging you can at least whap it. I think the timeout code would have been losing over *really slow* links anyway, so it's probably best that it go. This should fix NFS, tape & CDROM installs again (serves me right for getting complacent and using just the FTP installs in my testing). |

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel. Please see the top of the Makefile for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel with config(8) is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file LINT contains entries for all possible devices, not just those commonly used, and is meant more as a general reference than an actual kernel configuration file (a kernel built from it wouldn't even run).
