gives the flags to be passed to sendmail when it is started. (If it is
"NO", sendmail is not started.) Also, always start the portmapper regardless
of the value of $nfs_server; this should prevent the inetd complaints we
have seen from recurring.
that the errors from /etc/security are in the mail message from
/etc/security and not the /etc/daily mail message. Now just to fix
the bug in /etc/security
(see changes to getty which this patch is part of)
Basically, a few of the tty flags were changed to work better with
'CRT's, and the flags are better documented (documentation from Bruce
Evans).
Clean up some stuff so that it reads a little better (some one please
review this for me!)
Adaptec controllers are 154x and 174x series. Add Buslogic 545S.
the RELEASE NOTES.
Adaptec controllers are now 154x and 174x series, no more reference
to specific models. Revamp the CSI hard disk controller section in
general to be more user readable.
Add the fact that the Mitsumi CDROM controller and drive are now
supported.
Add a note that the Intel 82501 serial chip is NOT supported.
Floppy controller is fd0, not fdc0, same for wd disk controller.
running portmapper. These are site specific functionality and should only
be enabled for sites that want them, not by default.
These services REQUIRE portmapper to be running
with a Makefile override. The default is floppy5 since all distribution
floppies must be <= 1.2Mb so that every one can use them.
If you want to make 1.44MB floppies with more space on them do a
setenv FLOPPY floppy3
before running make.

I went to make myself some boot floppies straight off the dist
today and ran into the fact that I'm using a 3.5" floppy as my drive A,
so I did the following (you can still use floppy5 as your default -
I just have it set to floppy3 for my machine).
files from a MS-DOS partition.
Minor cleanup:
fixed spelling error in inst1.install
capitalized sentences in kc.profile
reworded initial load_fd options
partition of the boot disk. So we have yet another medium via
which to load the FreeBSD distribution files. load_fd() has
options for listing and (if reading from the C: drive) changing
directories.
load_fd's notation assumes that the first Primary partition on
disk is the DOS drive C: (since this and only this one is mounted
by install). Otherwise, the notation may be a bit confusing.
We'll know the assumption is bad if people complain about
not finding files on their "C:" drive...
Added a device file existence check to kc.profile.
first) Primary (un-Extended) DOS partition, providing /dev/xx0h
is available. It is mounted on /dos by default. The /etc/fstab
entry omits the dump and fsck fields, i.e.:
/dev/xx0h /dos pcfs rw
The Secondary DOS partition is not used (System ID 0xF2), because I don't
know what that is.
2) Fixed default sizes so that if someone attempts to install BSD on a 24 Mb
partition by accepting defaults, they don't end up with a 1 Mb /usr
partition (up to USRMIN Mb's). In this case, all space is split between
swap and root.
TODO:
1) Extend load_fd() to support loading distribution files directly from
the DOS partition of the hard disk.
2) Provide translated parameters to the install program (maybe
add an option to fdisk). Currently, the true geometry is used as
default, which is inappropriate for coexistence with DOS.
3) Support installing on multiple or secondary disks.
