do fit, and beeping in case of an overflow.
. Drop a comment about the ``FORCE_COMCONSOLE'' option into
README.serial.
. Increase the name buffer for the root directory from 100 bytes
to 8 KB; this is in no way ideal, but (IMHO) the best that can
be done by now. People did encounter problems with their root
dir name listing overflowing the allocated buffer space. Once
we've got the three-stage boot, we should implement some basic
malloc(). Swap space is already getting tight now, perhaps the
swap should go into another 64 KB segment instead.
. Make the keyboard probe less paranoid. It should not give up in
case of a keyboard that's continuously demanding RESEND's. Even
though the keyboard reset apparently has not been reported to be
complete, it's at the very least proven that there IS something
like a keyboard available.
This solves problems with the ``Gateway-2000 AllKey programmable''
(sp?) keyboard, that experienced a total hang with the previous
probe.
Thanks goes to Scott Blachowicz <scott@statsci.com> for his
extensive testing of my various interim (debugging) bootblocks
to get this working.
build, install) are now all skeletons and do nothing but
(1) Call pre-* target (if exists)
(2) Call scripts/pre-* script (if exists)
(3) Call do-* target
(4) Call post-* target (if exists)
(5) Call scripts/post-* script (if exists)
The do-* targets do all the work. The pre-* and post-* targets/scripts
don't exist by default. The main targets check for the cookies too, so
porters shouldn't have to worry about them at all.
NOTE: THE MAIN TARGETS IN THE PORTS MAKEFILES SHOULD GO AWAY. We need
to fix this before wcarchive comes back up. Change the names to do-*,
rip out the cookies, rip out the calls to pre-* etc. and most of them
should work.
Also, reorganize the whole thing so that similar targets are together
and add more comments. Surround section header with 64 #'s (C-u C-u
C-u # in emacs :).
Hopefully this will be the last major change to bsd.port.mk. Now let
the Makefile-hacking begin.
some (hopefully) less offensive stupidity:
If we detect that a user has loaded a module that fails to initialize
itself correctly, panic. There really isn't a safe way to recover from
something like this; we can't know that the module is bad until after
the entry point is called, by which time it's too late to do anything
about it.
now that we have the space.
If this works out to our liking, we will kill BOOTFLP.
Now, if only we could extract the kernel, incl symbols from a kzip'ed kernel...
can use the vn-driver instead of physical floppies, thanks guys !
Add the fixit-floppy back now that kzip made it fit again.
Don't make the gzip'ed *.flp files anymore.

2. Have all non-X11 prefix using packages include the BSD.local.dist mtree
file for initialization of /usr/local. I'm still not sure if this is
A Good Thing(tm) but I'll see what the users say. It's easily overridden.

- in mount_portal.c: included catching of SIGHUP to get portald to
re-read the config file.
- in mount_portal.c: in SIGCHLD handler the return values checked from
waitpid were wrong. Note. this routine was written correclty according
to the manual page for 4.4BSD, but waitpid does not exhibit this
behaviour. It is not returning 0 when WNOHANG is specified. I havent
checked this properly.
- in mount_portal.c: initialized the fdset for the select properly.
- in mount_portal.c: corrected poor casting in the select.
- in mount_portal.c: changed a break; to exit (0); so that the
children die after doing the hard work, this stops the select: bad
file descriptor messages.
- in pt_file.c: the kernel passes kernel style open flags to the
portal code which aren't compatible with "normal" O_ flags. I have
adjusted these in pt_file.c. In general I think the portal fs code
and portal_cred structure need changing to pass to the portald
the right style of flags _and_ the permissions.
- in pt_tcp.c: a few mistakes in typing of the socket structures,
getservbyname returns the port number as an int but sockaddr wants
the port number as an u_short.
- in pt_tcp.c: someone wrote this on a VAX/Sun whatever and forget
about byte ordering!! I've included a few htons about the place.
- in all the above I have sprinkled a few more debugging printf's.

in a couple of cases, and it doesn't do much anyway. It used to save only
the newfs params (block/frag/cgroup.. and nothing more. Something that
don't belong in a disklabel in the first place.
- Add $Id$ string.
- Fix comment ("we might *not* be able to unload the
module afterwards without panicking...")
- Get rid of variable 'j' that I used in name checking
for(;;) loop and use 'i' instead (I thought there'd be
a problem with this, but there isn't).
got a 2.2 version DC21040 chip in my SMC ethernet card! He suggests bumping
the check all the way down to 2.0 since it's pre-2.0 we're actually guarding
against.

Sorry jmz, please don't go fix the print Makefiles' own messages.
We are going to take them out after we do the great bsd.port.mk
update anyway.
if_tun_mod, etc...) from crashing the system. These modules are useful,
but because they don't yet have proper load()/unload() functions,
they can lead to panics: if, for example, you load the if_ppp module,
any user can panic the system by running modstat.
You can also hang the system outright if you try to unload the PPP
module too.
Changes are as follows:
- Save the name passed to us during the RESERVE stage for name matching
(we can't load if_ppp_mod twice: we've have two ppp0's and two ppp1's,
which is beyond strange). This makes the lkmexists() cheks somewhat
redundant, but there's no way around it that I can see.
- If we call the module entry point and find that we have no lkm_any
structure in our 'private' section, create a fake one. This keeps
modstat happy. We mark such modules as LM_UNKNOWN.
- Don't allow LM_UNLOAD modules to be unloaded: it just ain't
possible. (Unless someone wants to write a pppunattach() function. :( )
- In lkmunreserve(), mark private.lkm_any as NULL so we don't get
confused later. I think this is bogus, but I can't prove it.
XXX: the name matching used to keep the user from loading two
instances of the same module can easily be defeated simply by
changing the module name or, in the case of the oddball modules,
simply by renaming the module files. I haven't found a nice simple
way to tell one module from another.
