This should NOT go into 2.0.5 /phk Support disk slices. This involves mainly replacing inline code with function calls. Support for ST506 drives is temporarily broken since the `setgeom' arg to dsopen() is not implemented completely enough to use. The `setgeom' arg will go away and ST506 drives will be supported in another way. A large amount of dead code is left in wdopen() as a reminder of the problems here. Close the device in wdsize(). Open tracking was broken on all drives with a swap device. Remove support for soft write protection. There are no ioctls to set it. It was used to disable writing to unlabelled disks, but we want to support writing to foreign partitions on unlabeled disks. Use generic dkbad routines to do about 2/3 of the work for supporting bad144. Improve disk statistics: estimate 4MB/sec instead of 8MB/sec for the transfer rate (ISA max is 4MB/sec, old IDE max is 3.3MB/sec); fix dk_xfer[] (it counted sectors, not transfers); keep the estimate dk_seek[] = dk_xfer[] (was sectors, is now transfers); only count words actually transferred (the count is still too high after a failed write and after retries). Remove wdxfer[]. Fix indentation in wdattach(). Fix resulting botched printing of the disk size for ST506 drives. Print the disk geometry less cryptically. |

----------------------------------------- /( )`
\ \___ / |
Welcome to the ALPHA release of FreeBSD 2.0 - the /- _ `-/ '
first public snapshot of our new 4.4BSD Lite based (/\/ \ \ /\
operating system environment. This install proce- / / | ` \
dure is also at the ALPHA stage, and contains only O O ) / |
the minimum functionality required by an `-^--'`< '
*EXPERIENCED* person to install the system. (_.) _ ) /
It is our hope, of course, that the feedback `.___/` /
provided from this snapshot will `-----' /
greatly assist us in making the release <----. __ / __ \
of 2.0 much more user friendly. Your <----|====O)))==) \) /====

valuable to us, so please don't hesitate | |
in contacting us! Full details on where and \ / /\

,' ,-----' |
This install procedure is ALPHA code, and `--{__________)
may very possibly *DESTROY* the contents of your
ENTIRE DISK! Please do not proceed with this installation
unless you've adequately backed up your data first!
If any errors occur during this installation, you can see them
by toggling over to the alternate screen - type ALT-F2 to switch
over, ALT-F1 to switch back to the install screen. The debugging
output on the second screen may be very valuable to us in understanding
your bug report, so please be sure to take note of it when reporting
any failures in the installation! Thanks!
Menus and scrolling output windows may be traversed with the arrow
and Page Up/Page Down keys. To suspend the installation at any point,
hit ESC twice. Hitting TAB will move the focus to different controls.
If you've ever dealt with a DOS installation, you'll know how to deal
with this.
For a more complete description of what's new in this release, please
see the release notes.
For more documentation on this system, it is recommended that you purchase
the 4.4BSD Document Set from O'Reilly Associates and the USENIX Association.
ISBN 1-56592-082-1 We have no connection with O'Reilly, we're just
satisfied customers!
Have fun, and please let us know of any problems you encounter with
this release!
Comments should be sent to:
hackers@FreeBSD.org
Bug reports should be sent using the `send-pr' utility, if you
were able to get the system installed, otherwise to:
bugs@FreeBSD.org
And general questions to:
questions@FreeBSD.org
Please have patience if your questions are not answered right away -
this is an especially busy time for us, and our volunteer resources
are often strained to the limit (if not somewhat past!).
Thanks!
