shell script is the back end logic necessary for an installer. It
contains both query routines to allow a front-end installer to present
reasonable choices to the user and also action routines which allow
the front end installer to put a FreeBSD distribution onto a disk. It
supports installing onto the usual suspects, as well as advanced
features like Mirroring, ZFS, Encryprion and GPT labels.
While this is only the back-end of the installer, it can do unattended
scripted installations. In PC-BSD's world view, all installations are
scripted and all the front-end does is write the script. As such, it
is useful in its own right.
This has been extensively tested over the past several releases of
PC-BSD. However, differences between that environment and FreeBSD
suggest there will be a period of shake-out while those differences
are discovered and corrected.
A text-based front-end is in the works. For the GUI-based front-end,
you can use the PC-BSD distribution.
Kris' BSDcan paper on pc-sysinstall is linked off his talk on the
BSDcan site:
http://www.bsdcan.org/2010/schedule/events/173.en.html
The man page is written by Josh Paetzel, and I wrote the Makefiles for
the FreeBSD integration. Kris wrote the rest.
This represents version r7010 in the PC-BSD repo.

Initial support for n32 and n64 ABIs from
http://svn.freebsd.org/base/user/jmallett/octeon
Changes are:
- syscall, exception and trap support for n32/n64 ABIs
- 64-bit address space defines
- _jmp_buf for n32/n64
- casts between registers and ptr/int updated to work on n32/n64

sources are disabled when programmed as active-low.
Note that the internal interrupts have no sense bit like the external
interrupts. We program them as edge-triggered to make sure we write a
0 value to a reserved register. It does not in any way say anything
about the sense of internal interrupt.

While here, fix some potential concurrency problems in the interrupt
handling code.
ABI specifies the DF should be zero, and newer compilers do not clear
DF before using DF-sensitive instructions.
The DF clearing for signal handlers was done some time ago.

PTE flag cleanup from http://svn.freebsd.org/base/user/jmallett/octeon
- Rename PTE_xx flags to match their MIPS names
- Use the new pte_set/test/clear macros uniformly, instead of a mixture
of mips_pg_xxx(), pmap_pte_x() macros and direct access.
- Remove unused macros and defines from pte.h and pmap.c

This fixes a bug where ABORT chunks were accepted even in the case where
the local was not owned by the endpoint.

HPET to steal IRQ0 from i8254 and IRQ8 from RTC timers. It can be suitable
for HPETs without FSB interrupts support, as it gives them two unshared
IRQs. It allows them to provide one per-CPU event timer on dual-CPU system,
that should be suitable for further tickless kernels.
To enable it, such lines may be added to /boot/loader.conf:
hint.atrtc.0.clock=0
hint.attimer.0.clock=0
hint.hpet.0.legacy_route=1
