The servers are by Internet Multifeed Co., and connected to their
IX service JPNAP. It would be a good NTP server for machines in Japan.

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.

disk. This is main reason why sysinstall presents SCSI CDROM to
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.

This adds a safebelt that prevents users to mark more than

The vge driver has been added to GENERIC for i386, pc98 and amd64,
but not to sparc or ia64 since I don't have the ability to test
it there. The vge(4) driver supports VLANs, checksum offload and
jumbo frames.
Also added the lge(4) and nge(4) drivers to GENERIC for i386 and
pc98 since I was in the neighborhood. There's no reason to leave them
out anymore.
concensus seems to be that is best left for doing post-install.

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.

some confusion as to how large the EFI system partition should be,
but 100MB seems to be either the maximum, the minimum or the default
size, so make the EFI partition 100MB.
