disk image. In some cases this can be a significant speed-up, if
most of the image can be kept in RAM while being populated.
On the 2GB image I'm currently working with, the build time,
excluding buildworld/buildkernel, goes from ~17 minutes to ~6
minutes.
This is not enabled by default, as it might have the opposite effect
on low-memory systems.
- During the generation of the image file be a bit more verbose in the
log file so it is possible to see what's being done.
- Add a NANO_DISKIMGDIR variable which makes it possibly to place the
final images somewhere other than ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}. The default
value for NANO_DISKIMGDIR is $MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX.
Go for it: phk
Due to a typo, setting NANO_DATASIZE=-1 resulted in the data slice
being the same size as entire image instead of the size of the
remaining space on the image.
- Fix detection of overcommit of the slices.
This fix mainly result in a nicer error than when newfs etc. tries to
write beyond the end of the disk image.

* Break out the boot0 loader selection into a variable - NANO_BOOTLOADER -
so people like me with VGA consoles can override the default (which is
to use boot0sio)
* Put the boot0 configuration options in NANO_BOOT0CFG in case you want
to override the defaults.
* Modify nanobsd.8 to reflect the changes and hint the console default is
serial.

KERNCONF after the file has been copied to the sys/${ARCH}/conf directory. This
allows the use of one kernel config file for multiple images. E.g.:
NANO_KERNEL=../../../../software/nanobsd/default/SOEKRIS

separate function which is called right after install_etc(). This makes
it simpler to (ab)use nanobsd.sh as a framework to build more normal
FreeBSD images where a normal /etc is used, since setup_nanobsd_etc()
can just be redefined.

instead of setup_nanobsd(), because this gives customize tasks a chance
to fiddle the details.
Inspired & tested by: Jordan Coleman <jordan@JordanColeman.com>
# Size of the /etc ramdisk in 512 bytes sectors
NANO_RAM_ETCSIZE=10240
# Size of the /tmp+/var ramdisk in 512 bytes sectors
NANO_RAM_TMPVARSIZE=10240
And a last_orders() shell function which can be redefined to copy
finished images away, order peanuts or whatever else is appropriate
there for scripts to use.
Create a noauto fstab entry for the configuration partition (/cfg).
Add NANO_TOOLS env-var to point to the nanobsd sources relative to
NANO_SRC.
Add -h argument which prints a usage.
Add -b argument which skips build steps and goes directly to install steps.
Complain about extraneous arguments, it's usually a forgotten '-c'
Add convenience function to register customization function.
Add some sample customization functions:
cust_comconsole
cust_allow_ssh_root
Rename setup_diskless() to setup_nanobsd(), it makes more sense.
Add various comments etc.
The overall idea is to get a single build script which will not need
editing, but instead overrides and changes happen by config files passed
as arguments.

While here, make a comment about BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED.
most of the hardcoding of device names in installed convenience scripts.
Provide a new script (root/updatep) to easily update the ALTROOTSLICE. It
does the same as updatep1/updatep2 without hardcoded device names. If noone
protests, I'd like to get rid of updatep1/updatep2 at some point.
As an extra bonus: turn on the error led while updating (on hardware with a
led).
