present, this field specifies the media volume that the disc is
contained on. If the volume of a given packages is different than the
current volume of mediaDevice, then the user is prompted --
"This is disc #%d. Package %s is on disc #%d\n"
"Would you like to switch discs now?\n"
If the user selects yes, then DEVICE_SHUTDOWN is called and the user
is then prompted --
"Please remove disc #%d from you drive, and add disc #%d"
This works well for a carefully crafted INDEX file, but more work
needs to be done to sort dependencies on a given package based on the
volume that they reside on, to minimize the amount of disc flipping
required of the user.
This commit is a no-op for normal INDEX files and FreeBSD CDs. These
additional features are only used if the INDEX and cdrom.inf file have
multi-volume support.
so know we have proper PKG registration and dependency information.
This is a WIP for 5.0 DP #1, so it is still rough around the edges and
does not GC the old XFree86 3.3.6 handling stuff that should be GC'ed.

This introduced chicken and egg problem - we need boot images
early in the "depend" stage but they have not yet been built.
Work around this by excluding the generated makeboot.c source
from the "depend" list; it's okay because we hardcode all its
dependencies explicitly. We actually lose the dependency bit
on <sys/types.h> but it's probably okay too as the only thing
we use is the u_char datatype and this is unlikely to change.
After all, it's normal for sloppy cleaning to cause problems.

hazard for years, with several user->root compromises in the last
few years. Procfs will continue to be available but will require

attention to the sub-optimal way that we deal with package
dependencies. Traditionally, for each package in an INDEX that the
user wants to add, we check all of the dependencies first even if the
package is already installed. With some GNOME packages, this can
cause package_extract to be called for 50 different dependencies when
we know the top level package is already installed.
The new behavior is to not check dependencies for packages that are
already installed. This fixes a bug where sysinstall gets itself into
a CPU intensive loop when trying to install sawfish gnome with the
most recent ports/INDEX. There is a bug somewhere in the ports INDEX,
but with over 6,400 ports we need to be a little more forgiving here.
block sizees larger than 8192 bytes have been resolved, as per the

rev 1.5 src/sys/boot/alpha/boot1/sys.c
filesystem using a block size of 8192. Since this seems unlikely to
be fixed soon (specifically in time for 4.5-RELEASE on the RELENG_4
branch), fall back to the old default block and frag sizes of 8192 and
1024 in sysinstall on the alpha.

Do not auto-create /home as per release engineers decision (though

o Move nfs_reserved_port_only out of security profiles (where it was
set somewhat improperly) to the Security options menu directly.
Previously, the variable was set to true for Moderate, but not for
Extreme, which is at best inconsistent.
o Update the Security Profiles help file to remove reference to the
NFS reserved port.
o Note that the kernel currently defaults the sysctl to '0', but
sysinstall has changed it to '1' as a default as of late; however,
rc.conf sets the value to NO as the default. This change brings
them relatively into sync.

many of the 'Security Profile' menu choices should be pulled out

Following recent discussions on the -arch mailing list, involving dillon

the default was bumped up from 4096/512.
This should provide significant performance improvements for most

wasted space lost to large fragments for many folks.

moused run for them automatically by usbd so we don't need to setup moused
for them. We do need to setup moused for other mice though, so if the
user has a USB mouse, we don't need to do anything. Hence the wording
"Do you have a non-USB mouse installed?" for the question. The question
can be reworded as "Do you have a PS/2 or Serial mouse installed?" instead
if that is preferred.
(1) We don't need compat3x and compat4x as we build the bits on the proper

(2) We handle the compat2x needs thru proper port dependancies now.
