3d609b5040 Give this file a home also. No, I don't like it here either but
I don't want it in sysinstall/help, since that'll get it stuck on the
actual floppy, and I didn't fell like creating a doc/ subdirectory for
one file either.  Bah.

0c4ccfc110 To use the dosio library fully, I also (duh!) have to retain full
use of stdio, I can't just go handing fileno(fp) around and expect
that to work.  Since this means I need to have sysinstall play pipeline
on single file distributions now, that means I can also finally add a
progress indicator for them.

Change installation instructions to note that there's no dists directory
anymore on CDROMs.

5476bdc687 Part #2 of the config cleanup. More aggressive, replaced an NIH
version of strdup() by a macro, killed many calls to strdup(), thus
potentially wasting less malloc'ed space (their args were never be
free()ed desptie despite of being malloc'ed).  Probably still a huge
memory leak at all...  Also killed two totally useless variables.

I've tested it as i could, but wouldn't be surprised if unexpected
problems showed up.  So watch out this space!

000a733206 Round #1 of cleaning up the config(8) mess. This is only the more
conservative part of the tidyup, like fixing potential buffer overflow
conditions.  It is believed to be safe to go into 2.2.

1ad95508d0 Add a small hack to UserConfig that allows to override the number of
EISA slots to probe.  This is mainly intended to allow installing the
system on an HP Netserver with an on-board AIC7xxx EISA SCSI
controller, that is sitting on EISA slot # 11.

Documentation updates explaining this hack will follow shortly.

Note that this can go away again as soon as the EISA device probing
is more intelligent about the address space clash with the PCI address
space.

2.2 candidate.

765e5fd282 Implement closer-to POSIX mlock semantics. The major difference is
that we do allow mlock to span unallocated regions (of course, not
mlocking them.)  We also allow mlocking of RO regions (which the old
code couldn't.)  The restriction there is that once a RO region is
wired (mlocked), it cannot be debugged (or EVER written to.)

Under normal usage, the new mlock code will be a significant improvement
over our old stuff.

14480319f6 Clean up the FPU stack before returning. One stack slot was leaked on
every call.  The damage was sometimes limited by other routines using
and freeing stack slots that should have been empty to being with.

669ca89787 Fix some very minor cosmetic cruft I couldn't help tweaking when
I went over the code.

Add shortcuts for addUser and addGroup, documenting same.

Add a password field for adduser and use no-echo string field for it.
This requires my latest libdialog changes (in RELENG_2_2 or -current) to work.

f3966ba4db Add another hateful global to libdialog (what the heck, there are already
so many).  For now, the only extended attribute implemented is NO ECHO,
useful for things like passwords.  See TESTS/input2.c for an example.
This should go into 2.2.

0d930771c9 General cleanup and new features for 53c875 based cards, especially the
Tekram DC390W/U/F, whose config EEPROM can now be dumped, if the kernel
is built with option NCR_TEKRAM_EEPROM.

Other changes:

- add brackets to expansion of OUTB/W/L macro arguments.
- remove unused NCB structure element ns_async
- support sync. SCSI offset of 16 (instead of only 8) on 825A and 875
- correctly identify 53c810A and 53c825A chips
- preserve SCSI BIOS settings of PCI performance options
- remove (already disabled) support for NCR reset because of command timeout
- reverse order of reading of SCSI and DMA specific interrupt cause registers
- add definition of Tekram config EEPROM contents (not currently used)
