- When a separate livefs ISO is used, change the name of the tree directory
to be R/cdrom/livefs and change the name of the iso to livefs.iso rather
than using disc2. Instead, disc2 is now always going to be the packages
disc regardless of the presence of a separate livefs which makes things
simpler.
- Build a very simple disc2 tree under R/cdrom that just includes the
cdrom.inf file that the packages need. Also, build a disc2.iso image
in the iso.1 target. Disc 2's volume label is "FreeBSD_Packages".
- Retire CD_EXTRA_BITS and replace it with CD_PACKAGE_TREE. CD_EXTRA_BITS
was specific to disc1, but CD_PACKAGE_TREE instead should point to a
directory that has disc1 and disc2 subdirectories that contain the extra
bits for each image.
- Rename the bootonly volume label to "FreeBSD_bootonly" and just hardcode
the disc1 and livefs volume names and iso suffixes.
there are still a couple of places under src/release such like fixit.profile
assumed that system binary can be retrivied from /stand(ex: boot with the
live CD and run "disklabel -e" in the fixit CD shell).
Since /stand is still functional in fixit floppy, and there are more than
one places in src/release needs to be updated(document for example) if we
want to make use of something like /mnt2/rescue/vi. This commit try to
deal with aforementioned inconsistency with minimal effort by simply
create a symbolic link to /rescue.

The new system tries to be more automated so that there is less work for
the re's to do. It also no longer uses a /usr/ports tree as its input,
but uses the generated package build including its INDEX file as its input.
It parses the INDEX file, determines which packages should go on which ISO
images, and then builds full-fledged trees of packages that can be added
as an argument to mkisofs along with the tree built by 'make release' to
build a full CD image. The INDEX files in the populated trees are
generated with volume media number to make use of sysinstall's multiple
volume support so that the user is kindly prompted to insert the
appropriate disc for a package if it is not on the current disc. There is
still some more tweaking to be done here, but this part needs to be
committed. This stuff will all be used to prep the 5.4 release as well.

- By default, include the live filesystem on disc1, so that disc1 is now
both an install disc and a fixit disc. The images can still be split
into two separate discs by specifying SEPARATE_LIVEFS=yes.
- Remove /usr/ports from the live filesystem disc as the merged images
do not fit on even i386 otherwise. Also, the merged image already
contains a tarball of the entire ports tree, so /usr/ports was a
duplicate anyway.
- Stop building port READMES for the release sinc they are no longer used
(/usr/ports in the live filesystem was the last remaining user).
- Split cdrom.1 into three targets. cdrom.1 builds the live filesystem
image. cdrom.2 builds the disc1 image. Note that if SEPARATE_LIVEFS
is not specified these both write to the same area. cdrom.3 builds
the bootonly image and the UFS miniroot.
- The various distribution directories are now in a <buildname>
subdirectory of disc1 rather than being in the root so that the merged
image's root is not quite as cluttered.
- The disc1 image is now called disc1.iso and we no longer build a
miniinst.iso image. If CD_EXTRA_BITS is defined, then the iso.1 target
will simply include those bits in the disc1 image that it builds.

Discussed on: freebsd-current, in late April 2004
some unknown reason, when LOCAL_PATCHES and LOCAL_SCRIPT were originally
added, they were silently ignored if the actual file did not exist. As a
result, if one mistyped the pathname to a patch or script, then the release
silently succeeded. However, it was not built with the desired changes and
no warning was given to inform the builder either. This commit explicitly
checks to see that all of the defined patches and scripts exist up front
and bails if any of them do not exist. I lost several hours of valuable
sleeping time this evening due to this "feature" so I've finally gone and
ripped out. I've tripped over this in the past several other times as
well.

Adding a couple of variables to make tweaking the CD-ROM label and .iso
filenames easier.
- Use the regular forth scripts including the stock device.hints file on
the boot floppies.
- gzip all the various text files on the boot floppy that are larger than
one sector to save on space.
- Generate a loader.conf to load the kernel, acpi.ko, and mfsroot making
use of the 'module_before' variables to prompt for a floppy to be entered
when required and use a stock loader.rc. This enables the beastie menu
on i386.
- PC98 has been changed to split the mfsroot for now so that the floppies
fit. When the PC98 bootstrap is updated to work with ELF files (which
needs to happen anyway), then SPLIT_MFSROOT can be turned off for PC98.
all MFS root options together and in the same order on all archs.
- Drop support for using the no longer existing 2.88 floppy image for CD
booting on i386 via the EMUL_BOOT variable.
- Use a stock loader on the boot floppy rather than one without forth.
- Force the gzip of the mfsroot in release.9 to succeed. This is useful
when doing lots of rereleases when testing floppy changes.
- If an acpi kernel module exists, stick it on the boot floppy and for
now always load it after the kernel.
- Fixed spelling of NO_FLOPPIES to unbreak snapshot building on
architectures that don't support them (as installation source).
- Don't rely on CVS setting execution bits on the shell script.

requires minimal care and feeding for future releases.
- Consolidate multitude of floppy related constants down to a normal
FLOPPY set for 1.44 floppies and on PC98 a SMALLFLOPPY set for 1.2
floppies. Also, cleanup the i386 arch section by not duplicating
constants that are the same on both machine types (i386 and pc98).
- Update the ZIPNSPLIT macro to generate a file chunks that will actually
fit onto 1.44 floppies formatted with UFS1. Unfortunately, split(1)
seems to be somewhat buggy, so the files generated are slightly larger
than the argument passed to split.
- Split the release.10 target into 3 targers: floppies.1, floppies.2 and
floppies.3 that are added to EXTRAS only if NOFLOPPIES is defined.
floppies.1 builds the install floppies, floppies.2 builds the fixit
floppy, and floppies.3 generates the md5 sums and READMEs for the
floppies/ directory.
- Drop the by now largely obsolete and less useful boot.flp picture. This
was more useful when the mfsroot lived inside the kernel rather than
being loaded from a separate file by the loader.
- Only build a single mfsroot containing no modules that is used for all
installation methods.
- Use split-file.sh to split up a gzipped GENERIC kernel into however many
floppies it takes for the boot kernel. Currently, a stock 5.2 GENERIC
kernel including WITNESS, INVARIANTS, DDB, and other assorted bloat fits
onto 2 additional floppies besides the boot floppy with some room to
spare.
- If SPLIT_MFSROOT is defined, the mfsroot.gz file is similar split into
however many floppies are needed. Currently it is not defined as the
mfsroot.gz fits onto the current boot.flp with room to spare.
- Add a 'makeFloppySet' target which builds a floppy set for a file that
was split using split-file.sh.
- Rename the doMFSKERN target to 'buildBootFloppy' as that more closely
matches what it does now. We no longer build a custom BOOTMFS kernel for
each boot floppy.
- We no longer build a 2.88 boot.flp image to use with emulated CD booting.
The non-emulated cdboot works for almost everyone who boots off of CD and
if it doesn't work on a particular machine, the user can always boot from
the 1.44 floppy images.
- We no longer build a driver floppy or stick kernel modules in the mfsroot
since we now use a stock kernel when booting from floppy.
