available disks in Fdisk/Label menu. In addition, adding a blank
SCSI CDROM to the menu generates floating point exception in sparc64.
Disk_Names() just extracts sysctl "kern.disks". Why GEOM treats SCSI
CDROM as a disk is beyond me and that should be investigated.
For temporary workaround, ignore SCSI CDROM device.

install of Postfix fails since Postfix 1 is picked from INDEX instead
of Postfix 2.
The problem is that the package_add function matches multiple Postfix
packages and then installs a "random" version (the last one found in
INDEX). This does not occur with a CD-ROM install since there is only
one Postfix package on the CD-ROM.
The correct solution to this would be to check the origin field from
INDEX instead of the package name, but due to the way sysinstall is
made that is not trivial, so instead work around the problem by
hard-coding the Postfix major and minor revision (for the current
stable version) to install directly into the package_add call.

o Remove the code that creates the boot directory on the EFI file
system after it has been mounted, as well as remove the code
that creates the symlink from /boot -> /efi/boot (*). As a result,
/boot will be extracted onto the root file system.
o Add a function efi_mountpoint() that returns the mount point of
the EFI file system or NULL if no EFI partition is created. This
function is used to both check whether there's an EFI file system
and to return what its mount point is.
o When there's no EFI file system, ask the user if this is what he
or she wants. Since we extract /boot onto the root file system,
we do not actually need an EFI file system for the installation to
work. Whether one wants to install without an EFI partition is
of course an entirely different question. We allow it...
o When we're done installing and need to fix up the various bits
and pieces, check if there's an EFI partition and if yes, move
/boot to /efi/boot and create a symlink /boot -> /efi/boot (*).
This is a much more reliable way to get /boot onto the EFI
partition than creating the symlink up front and hope its being
respected. It so happened that we never had the boot directory
end up on the EFI partition. We make the symlink relative.
(*) /efi is a place holder for the actual EFI mount point of course.
we'll actually create an EFI partition with a FAT file system instead
of an UFS file system. It also allows us to give a sensible default
mount point for EFI partitions so that people don't have to guess.
This also means that we can now remove new_efi_part(), which did the
same thing as new_part(), except it created a FAT file system. The
function wasn't called when the EFI partition was created from scratch
though, which was the problem. By passing the partition type to the
various functions, we can deal with EFI without having to duplicate
code.

which was previously implicit in Security Profile selection.
Currently, there are no checkboxes for the active securelevel,
because sysinstall's facilities for deriving "current settings"

(2) Default enable/disable for securelevels
Replace this with an explicit choice to enable/disable sshd. A

post-install configuration menu to set the securelevel in rc.conf
explicitly. This should reduce the level of foot-shooting associated
with accidental enabling of securelevels, make the nature and

as well as make the choice to enable/disable sshd more explicit.

(1) Don't modify the configuration of the NFS server as a result of
selecting a profile. We already explicitly prompt for the NFS
server configuration during install, and the user may not get
much advance notice that we're turning it off again. Instead,
use profiles (for better or for worse) only for security tuning.
(2) Don't modify the sendmail setting as part of the security profile:
use the default from /etc/defaults/rc.conf rather than explicitly
specifying. Note that the default in /etc/defaults/rc.conf is
more conservative than the explicit rc.conf entry added by
sysinstall during install, as it does not permit SMTP delivery.
(3) Update "congratulations on your profile" text to reflect these
changes.
Note that security profiles now affect only the securelevel and sshd
settings. My leaning would be to make sshd an explicit configuration
option, move securelevels to the security menu, and drop security
profiles entirely. However, that requires more plumbing of sendmail
than I'm currently willing to invest.
We may want to add a "permit SMTP delivery" question to the install
process.

The BCM4401 is built into several x86 laptop and desktop systems. For the
moment, I have only enabled it in the x86 kernel config because although
it's a PCI device, I haven't heard of any standalone NICs that use it. If
somebody knows of one, we can easily add it to the other arches.
This driver uses register/structure data gleaned from the Linux
driver released by Broadcom, but does not contain any of the code
from the Linux driver itself. It uses busdma.
rl(4) driver and put it in a new re(4) driver. The re(4) driver shares
the if_rlreg.h file with rl(4) but is a separate module. (Ultimately
I may change this. For now, it's convenient.)
rl(4) has been modified so that it will never attach to an 8139C+
chip, leaving it to re(4) instead. Only re(4) has the PCI IDs to
match the 8169/8169S/8110S gigE chips. if_re.c contains the same
basic code that was originally bolted onto if_rl.c, with the
following updates:
- Added support for jumbo frames. Currently, there seems to be
a limit of approximately 6200 bytes for jumbo frames on transmit.
(This was determined via experimentation.) The 8169S/8110S chips
apparently are limited to 7.5K frames on transmit. This may require
some more work, though the framework to handle jumbo frames on RX
is in place: the re_rxeof() routine will gather up frames than span
multiple 2K clusters into a single mbuf list.
- Fixed bug in re_txeof(): if we reap some of the TX buffers,
but there are still some pending, re-arm the timer before exiting
re_txeof() so that another timeout interrupt will be generated, just
in case re_start() doesn't do it for us.
- Handle the 'link state changed' interrupt
- Fix a detach bug. If re(4) is loaded as a module, and you do
tcpdump -i re0, then you do 'kldunload if_re,' the system will
panic after a few seconds. This happens because ether_ifdetach()
ends up calling the BPF detach code, which notices the interface
is in promiscuous mode and tries to switch promisc mode off while
detaching the BPF listner. This ultimately results in a call
to re_ioctl() (due to SIOCSIFFLAGS), which in turn calls re_init()
to handle the IFF_PROMISC flag change. Unfortunately, calling re_init()
here turns the chip back on and restarts the 1-second timeout loop
that drives re_tick(). By the time the timeout fires, if_re.ko
has been unloaded, which results in a call to invalid code and
blows up the system.
To fix this, I cleared the IFF_UP flag before calling ether_ifdetach(),
which stops the ioctl routine from trying to reset the chip.
- Modified comments in re_rxeof() relating to the difference in
RX descriptor status bit layout between the 8139C+ and the gigE
chips. The layout is different because the frame length field
was expanded from 12 bits to 13, and they got rid of one of the
status bits to make room.
- Add diagnostic code (re_diag()) to test for the case where a user
has installed a broken 32-bit 8169 PCI NIC in a 64-bit slot. Some
NICs have the REQ64# and ACK64# lines connected even though the
board is 32-bit only (in this case, they should be pulled high).
This fools the chip into doing 64-bit DMA transfers even though
there is no 64-bit data path. To detect this, re_diag() puts the
chip into digital loopback mode and sets the receiver to promiscuous
mode, then initiates a single 64-byte packet transmission. The
frame is echoed back to the host, and if the frame contents are
intact, we know DMA is working correctly, otherwise we complain
loudly on the console and abort the device attach. (At the moment,
I don't know of any way to work around the problem other than
physically modifying the board, so until/unless I can think of a
software workaround, this will have do to.)
- Created re(4) man page
- Modified rlphy.c to allow re(4) to attach as well as rl(4).
Note that this code works for the sample 8169/Marvell 88E1000 NIC
that I have, but probably won't work for the 8169S/8110S chips.
RealTek has sent me some sample NICs, but they haven't arrived yet.
I will probably need to add an rlgphy driver to handle the on-board
PHY in the 8169S/8110S (it needs special DSP initialization).
