difference between the two from a low-level point of view is that
the partition type is different. This change adds EFI related cases
to existing switch statements with existing FAT related cases.

to set as part of the login process.

Don't force 16-byte alignment at run-time. Do it at compile-time.
This saves us the pointer fiddling by the setjmp functions and
reduces complexity. While here, increase the jmp_buf by 16 bytes
to an even 512 bytes. Coincidentally, due to the way alignment
was handled prior to this change, the jmp_buf has not changed in
size, but only in how the space is used. Prior to this change
the 16 bytes were reserved for enforcing alignment; now they are
reserved by us for future extensions.
Therefore, this ABI breaker is relatively save: the failure is
always an alignment trap.
namely uuidgen(1), uuidgen(2) and uuid(3), the following division
has been choosen:
uuidgen(1) A description of the command line utility,
and other user oriented UUID information.
uuidgen(2) A mostly technical description of UUIDs.
uuid(3) A description of the functions and other
programmer oriented UUID information.
According to the division: add more technical contents.

always to the first 16 sectors of the disk. The firmware reads the boot
code from a partition, defaulting to 'a' if none is specified, which only
corresponds to the first 16 sectors of the disk if 'a' is first. Solaris
often makes the swap partition first, instead of the root partition, and
users expect to be able to do the same with freebsd as well. This also
allows one to temporarily boot from another partition if the boot block
on the root partition gets scrambled somehow.
o Remove all code guarded by !defined(__ia64__). This file is
specifically written for ia64,
o Handle the case when read_block() or write_block() fails. We
don't want sysinstall(8) to signal a thumbs-up on error,
o Set the starting (cyl,hd,sect) triple to 0xFFFFFF when either
bios_hd or bios_sect is zero or the LBA us not representable
with the triple. In that case automaticly initialize the
ending triple with 0xFFFFFF as well,
o Reindent Write_Int32() as it was different than the rest of
the file,
o Remove some unused variables that appeared to be used but
were effectively useless.
o Plug a memory leak: The second timne we read the MBR, we write
out a modified block, but didn't free the memory after writing.
o Replace d1->sector_size with 512 when we read/write the MBR.
We ignore the sector size in cases we shouldn't but adhered to
it in cases it would be wrong if the sector_size wasn't 512.
This file should eventually be rewritten to write out a GPT. For
now, a MBR will do...
to be static for 5.0. I may remove this for 5.1 or 5.2. No more
binaries or libarires will be generated with __sF starting as of
yesterday. Originally the plan had been to eliminate this for 5.0,
but we didn't get the __std{in,out,err}p changes merged into -stable
until yesterday (rather than in September 2001 like it should have
been). Given that didn't happen on time, we can't do the other part
of the scheme now.
# Please do not change this without talking to me first.
to use the same start condition as the i386 version. However, since
Alpha's only have one fake "slice" from sysinstall's perspective we don't
need to use a loop, but can just write out the BSD label in the first
fake "slice".

before, but the most accurate way of describing the funcionality eludes
me.

of heads end the number of sectors per track. If there's an obvious
insanity (heads and sectors are both zero or the media size is not
an integral multiple of heads times sector) we set the number of
cylinders to zero.
1. When the parition type is not an integer, try to parse the type
as an UUID. If that succeeds, map the UUID to chunk_e.
2. For GPT partitions, pass the type constructed in point 1 above
to Add_Chunk.
While here, fix the MBREXT case by only checking if the first 3
characters are MBR. This avoids duplication.
