if it's not defined as efi. This makes sure we create a proper
MFS root filesystem and still allow the boot disk to be EFI
based.
At this time EFI auto boot works and we're properly loading the
MFS root file system. Time to create drivers.conf and get this
show on the road!
o ia64: Set DOFS_SH to point to an alternate version.
o ia64: Lower BIGBOOTSIZE from 120M (LS-120) to ~5M.
o ia64: Set BIGBOOTLABEL to efi so that we can check for it
in the alternate doFS.sh script. If the label is not efi, we
can invoke the generic doFS.sh.
Strip ${RD}/mfsfd/stand/etc/defaults/rc.conf.
Don't copy loader.help to ${RD}/mfsfd/boot, it serves no useful purpose.
Removed the now no-op commands to copy ${RD}/trees/base/dev bits to
${RD}/mfsfd/dev, now that DEVFS is the default.
Removed UFS_ACL, PSEUDOFS, and COMPAT_FREEBSD4 options from the BOOTMFS
kernel.
Moved miibus network module to the drivers floppy.
isp(4) and mpt(4) now have corresponding modules, move them to the third
floppy as well.
Caution! With these changes, mfsroot.flp has only 11K left, and
kern.flp has even less -- 5K.
the loader in an EFI partition. This automaticly means we need the
kernel there as well.
In order to avoid having to worry about a geometry as much as
possible, we partition the disk with GPT.
With this, auto-boot works, but we have a problem mounting the
MFS.
in no way final. A typical ia64 wart is that there are no boot blocks.
Instead, we need to create disks with EFI partitions if we want auto
boot to work. All this functionality is not present yet.

- Add a NO_FLOPPIES variable that disables building of any boot floppies.

for FreeBSD base system programs, rewrite expr(1) entry and note its
use of check_utility_compat(3), mention autogeneration of
nsswitch.conf and hosts.conf.

think this list of the bare minimal ports required should maybe be
moved to textproc/docproj/Makefile, so that when we add a new
dependency there, we can just add it to a required or optional list,
rather than add it there and forget about it here. ;)

release" a chance of finishing on the Alpha platform.
The actual split between drivers on disks 2 and 3 should be optimized
so that most users don't need the third disk, but for now, I'm just
trying to get it working.
is "EARLY", which is kind of an odd name, but I couldn't think of
anything better that fit the traditional 8.3 naming convention for
release documentation files.
