Add to floppy3 if_tun && if_gif (ppp && something related to IPv6)
Add in mpt && ahc now that they are modules. Unknown as to whether they
work yet or not.
build.
This will give ia64 folks the chance to help flesh these out, and
also ensure that (when the time comes) ia64 releases with documentation
won't fall over due to missing RELNOTESng files.
This involves moving all networking drivers to floppy 2, all RAID
nfsclient && cd9660 to floppy 3 (and adding ispfw).
COMPAT_FREEBSD4 had to come back, maxusers is down to 2.
AHC is out until somebody can make it a module for alpha.
TurboLaser is out because it rarely has a floppy and probably
no longer works *anyway*.
There's probably some cleanup that can be done because I was told
that things in drivers.conf don't have to be removed via dokern.sh,
but because I formally tested the release build with this version
and don't want to spend another half day on it, it's going in.
I'm sure we'll have to do some further changes prior to release.
NB: Not tested end to end yet because I've been told that sysinstall
doesn't yet work.
o All of the Q&A entries in this section were i386-specific, so make
these conditional on building for that platform. If
non-i386-platforms need similar Q&A lists, they can add their own to
this file.
o Coalesce the two Q&A sections into one.
o Correct some device names (wd(4) devices have not existed for quite
some time).
o Get rid of a number of obsolete entries (suggested by jhb).
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.
Tested on: alpha
for FreeBSD base system programs, rewrite expr(1) entry and note its
use of check_utility_compat(3), mention autogeneration of
