'use entire disk'. Neither for ia64 while I'm here - it needs a MBR if
its going to use fdisk+disklabel. The ia64 case is mostly academic though
because you'd be creating two partitions (dos + freebsd) rather than
a single freebsd-only partition.
PC98 boot blocks don't support UFS2. We keep newfs(8) defaulting to
UFS2.
Warn users that FreeBSD can only boot from a root file system smaller
than 1.5TB; hopefully this will get fixed by the patches currently
floating around on -CURRENT.

ethernet controller. The driver has been tested with the LinkSys
USB200M adapter. I know for a fact that there are other devices out
there with this chip but don't have all the USB vendor/device IDs.
Note: I'm not sure if this will force the driver to end up in the
install kernel image or not. Special magic needs to be done to exclude
it to keep the boot floppies from bloating again, someone please
advise.
FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE and later:
- newfs(8) will now create UFS2 file systems unless UFS1 is specifically
requested (-O1). To do this, I just twiddled the Oflag default.
- sysinstall(8) will now select UFS2 as the default layout for new
file systems unless specifically requested (use '1' and '2' to change
the file system layout in the disk labeler). To do this, I inverted
the ufs2 flag into a ufs1 flag, since ufs2 is now the default and
ufs1 is the edge case. There's a slight semantic change in the
key behavior: '2' no longer toggles, it changes the selection to UFS2.
This is very similar to a patch David O'Brien sent me at one point, and
that I couldn't find.

physical memory. The default is still 2x physical memory. The nominal
calculation is used to back-off swap auto-allocation ('A'uto command)
when the disk is not large enough to accomodate all filesystem auto-defaults.
This gives other partitions (like /usr) more priority over swap on smaller
disks.
This should help solve reported auto-sizing failures on machines with small
hard drives and huge amounts of memory. For example, a machine with 2G of
disk and 4G of memory will fail to auto-size without this fix.

'base' dist rename.
- Rework struct dist to allow for different types of dists. There are
currently three types of dists: DT_TARBALL, the traditonal gzipped and
split tar file; DT_PACKAGE, a package; and DT_SUBDIST, a meta-dist in
the tree that has its own array of dists as its contents. For example,
the 'base' dist is a DT_TARBALL dist, the 'perl' dist is a DT_PACKAGE
dist, and the 'src' dist is a DT_SUBDIST dist with its own dist table
that contains 'sbase', 'ssys', etc.
- Add helper macros for defining array entries for the different types of
dists to try and make the statically defined dist table in dist.c more
readable.
- Split the logic to deal with a DT_TARBALL dist out of distExtract()
and into its own distExtractTarball() function. distExtract() now
calls other functions to extract each dist.
- Tweak the percentage complete calculation in distExtractTarball() to
do the multiply prior to the divide so it doesn't have to use floating
point.
- Axe the installPackage() function along with the special handling for
the perl and XFree86 dists in distExtractAll() since distExtract()
handles package dists directly now.
- Add back in subdists for the X packages based on the split up packages
that XFree86-4 uses that as closely map to the X dists we used with
X 3.3.x.
- Lots of things like distSetX() and the X dist masks are no longer
#ifndef X_AS_PKG since we use them in both cases now.
- Make the entire installFixupXFree() function #ifndef X_AS_PKG, we only
call it in that case anyways, and it's not suitable for the X_AS_PKG
case.
- Add in X dist menus for the X_AS_PKG case.

has the advantage of moving a few #ifdef PC98's up to where the macros
are defined instead of in the middle of the code.
- Change the behavior of the 'T' option in the slice editor so that the
default value in the dialog box is the current type of the existing
slice rather than defaulting to changing the slice to a FreeBSD slice as
this is more intuitive.

editor, in order to support specifying UFS2 as a newfs option.
(1) Support three different newfs types: NEWFS_UFS, NEWFS_MSDOS, and
NEWFS_CUSTOM. Don't mix up the arguments to them: you can't use
soft updates on an msdos file system.
(2) Distinguish adding new arguments to the newfs command line from
replacing it. Permit the addition of new arguments by the user for
NEWFS_UFS. If we entirely replace the command line provided by
sysinstall, call it NEWFS_CUSTOM. 'N' will now add additional
arguments; 'Z' will opt to replace the newfs command line entirely,
but will prompt the user with their current command line as a
starting point.
(3) Construct the newfs command line dynamically based on the options
provided by the user at label-time. Right now, this means selecting
UFS1 vs. UFS2, and the soft updates flag. Drop in some variables
to support ACLs and MAC Multilabel in the future also, but don't
expose them now.
This provides sysinstall with the ability to do more "in band" editing
of the newfs command line, so we can provide more support for the user,
but doesn't sacrifice the ability to entirely specify the newfs command
line of the user is willing to give up on the cushiness factor. It
also makes it easier for us to specify defaults in the future, and
define conditional behavior based on user configuration selections.
For now, we default to UFS1, and permit UFS2 to be used as the root
only on non-i386 systems.
While I was there, I dropped the default fragment and block sizes,
since newfs has much more sensible defaults now.

o Mount the EFI file system as msdosfs and not ufs as it's a FAT
file system. Introduce Mount_msdos() for this to go side-by-side
with Mount().
o Also, since mounting is performed as a command (which means it's
queued, sorted, lost, found and executed), we cannot create a
directory on the file system by calling mkdir. We must make sure
the mkdir happens after the mount. Introduce Mkdir_command() to
allow mkdir operations to be queued, sorted, lost, found and
executed as well.
