because I want to switch from gnu's cpio to bsdcpio being integrated
into the installation environment and bsdcpio doesn't seem to handle
block sizes at all.
default distribution (user) will be installed, however, no kernel

SMP/GENERIC, depending on WITH_SMP and number of CPUS found.

at runtime and to support distributing additional kernels:
o remove kernel from the base tarball
o add new kernel tarballs
o build + package both SMP and GENERIC kernels when an <arch>/conf/SMP
config file is present
o add sysinstall support for multiple kernels
o update sysinstall to probe for the number of cpus on a system
and auto-select smp/up kernel accordingly
o add a post-kernels install hook to fixup /boot/kernel
o add -ldevinfo to boot crunch for sysinstall's cpu probing logic
Notes:
1. On HEAD this code is not currently used because GENERIC kernels
include SMP. This work is mainly intended for RELENG_6 where the
GENERIC kernel is UP. If HEAD changes to match then just enable
WITH_SMP in sysinstall/Makefile.
2. The cpu probing support is done with acpi and MPTable; this means
some systems will require work for auto-detection to work.
3. The handling of /boot/kernel may need to be revisited; for now
we rename one kernel at the last moment (SMP if installed, otherwise
GENERIC). There are other, possibly better, approaches.
Lots of help from ru, emaste, scottl, and jhb.
with EBUSY and a cdrom is not mounted at /cdrom, sysinstall fails to
treat it as an error and thinks that the disk mounted ok. However, it
doesn't find a cdrom.inf file so it complains. Later when it tries to
unmount the disk due to a mediaClose() umount(2) returns an error, and it
never clears its internal mounted flag. The fix here is to properly
handle EBUSY as an error if there isn't a CD already mounted at /cdrom.
- Add a new CDROMInitQuiet variable that can be used to shut up the dialog
box about the mount(2) system call failing when trying to mount a CD-ROM.
This is used by the feature described below.
- When using a fixit CD, first try to see if we can mount the disc in the
drive now and use it as a fixit CD. If not, then prompt the user to
insert the disc and try again. If we do succeed on the first "silent"
probe then we don't ask the user to eject the disk after leaving fixit
mode.
- Add a simple file existence test to make sure that the disc that we mount
really is a livefs disc.
- Explicitly switch back to ttyv0 when using the standard console after
the fixit shell dies. Previously this behavior worked accidentally
because all the fixit modes popped up a dialog box which contained a
hidden switch to ttyv0.

o At the same time, change checkLabels() to define these globals instead
of having the caller of checkLabels() pass addresses to variables for
these. Change the two callers correspondingly.
o Spent a bit more time adjusting try_auto_label() to prepate for having
the EFI partition created on ia64.
o Remove efi_mountpoint(). The EFI chunk is now available without having
to iterate over the disks and chunks to find it every time we need it.
o On ia64, now that the root chunk is globally available, set the
vfs.root.mountfrom tunable in loader.conf. This avoids that one cannot
boot into FreeBSD after an install. The kernel cannot find the root
device without a little help...

really wants to build non-cryptographic binaries, but the "crypto"
release distribution is now part of "base", and anyone installing from a
release will get cryptographic binaries.

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.

find the files that may need tweaking to support whatever MD specific
partitioning is needed. It also helps to prevent that the libdisk API
gets exposed and/or used where it's not needed.
- Don't look for partitions inside a FreeBSD chunk on ia64 when mounting
the filesystems just before the chroot and install.
- Write entries out to /etc/fstab for filesystems that aren't inside a
FreeBSD chunk, but are a top-level chunk under the disk.

selection is used to drive two configuration parameters:
(1) Default enable/disable for sshd
(2) Default enable/disable for securelevels
Replace this with an explicit choice to enable/disable sshd. A
follow-up commit will add a configuration option to the Security
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
implications of the securelevel configuration options more explicit,
as well as make the choice to enable/disable sshd more explicit.

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.

'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.

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.

partitions marked as being of type efi. This change adds code to
1. actually run the newfs command at mount time (install.c),
2. display the newfs state on screen (label.c)
3. allow toggling of the newfs state (label.c)
Even though newfs(8)-ing FAT partitions can be of use on i386
machines in general, it has been opted to minimize impact for
now.
With this change there's no a priori difference between EFI and
FAT partitions. With this change and the corresponding change to
libdisk, we can create EFI partitions, just like regular FAT
partitions.
