- Copy stable/10 (r259064) to releng/10.0 as part of the
10.0-RELEASE cycle.
- Update __FreeBSD_version [1]
- Set branch name to -RC1

[1] 10.0-CURRENT __FreeBSD_version value ended at '55', so
start releng/10.0 at '100' so the branch is started with
a value ending in zero.

Fix the bootable CD:
o We need wait a bit before attempting the root mount. The CD drives
on HP machines (typical) go through the management controller so
that it can be virtualized. In practice what this means is that it
is slow to detect and attach.
o Tell the kernel what to use as the root file system. The /etc/fstab
trick doesn't work, because we're on the EFI-compatble file system.

Add now missing color.4th.


245177 08-Jan-2013 hrs

ISO 9660 specification allows only "d-characters" and "a-characters" in the
Volume Descriptor (section 7.4). In short, upper-case alphanumeric + some
symbols only. While the makefs utility automatically converts the characters,
$LABEL should be consistent in the scripts.


227283 06-Nov-2011 marcel

Add check-password.4th and screen.4th to the boot image. They are
needed by the loader.


225937 03-Oct-2011 nwhitehorn

Farewall, sysinstall! You served us well for many years, but 10.0 is one
digit beyond your time.

Various sysinstall dependencies (e.g. libftpio, libdisk, libodialog, etc.)
will be cleaned up in coming days. Some will take longer than others due to
a few other consumers (tzsetup and sade).


223764 04-Jul-2011 marcel

Add a trivial script for creating memstick images. These are not
bootable yet, but proven to be useful without it already.


222766 06-Jun-2011 marcel

Don't clobber the hosts /etc/fstab. $1 is empty at this point.

Fix ia64 ISO creation:
o boot/mfsroot.gz is no more. Copy it only when it exists so as still
to be compatible with Makefile.sysinstall.
o while here, make ispfw.ko optional as well.
o '-b bootimage' is not a valid argument for makefs. What was meant
was '-o bootimage'.
o create the boot image in the current directory so that makefs can
find the file. Previously it had to be created under $BASE because
that's how mkisofs wanted it.


221497 05-May-2011 nwhitehorn

Convert IA64 ISO script to use makefs instead of mkisofs.


219856 22-Mar-2011 nwhitehorn

Use labels to find release media instead of hard-coded device paths. This
makes booting more reliable (and working at all on USB sticks). While here,
move responsibility for setting up fstab into the various platform mk-*.sh
scripts.

Recent work on the gnu cpio seems to have introduced some bugs, it
complains about "Malformed numbers" while unpacking the dists and
what winds up on the disk isn't correct. Use this as an opportunity
to switch over to bsdcpio since at this point we don't even build
and install the gnu cpio by default. Note sysinstall needed to be
tweaked a bit (dropping tape block size setting) because it seems
bsdcpio doesn't do anything with block sizes, at least as far as
reading from archives goes. That wasn't really a problem since
installations from tape have been broken for a while and the rest
of sysinstall's tape support code will be removed shortly.

Obsolete gpt(8) by replacing it with geom(8). Add the glabel and

In 'fixit mode' running "fsck /dev/ad0s1a" typically complains that it
can't find fsck_4.2bsd because there was no fstab file saying what
filesystem type it is looking at so it got the filesystem type from
the disk's label. When that fails admins who haven't been in this
situation before are most likely to try "fsck -t ufs /dev/ad0s1a" because
ufs is the type used in fstab files on working systems but that also fails
complaining it can't find fsck_ufs.

This just sets it up so /stand in the MFS image (/sbin is a symlink
to /stand) includes hard links pointing fsck_4.2bsd and fsck_ufs to
fsck_ffs which is what is present in /sbin on installed systems.

Revamp base system packaging of kernels to enable up/smp selection
at runtime and to support distributing additional kernels:
o remove kernel from the base tarball
o add new kernel tarballs
o build + package both SMP and GENERIC kernels when an <arch>/conf/SMP
config file is present
o add sysinstall support for multiple kernels
o update sysinstall to probe for the number of cpus on a system
and auto-select smp/up kernel accordingly
o add a post-kernels install hook to fixup /boot/kernel
o add -ldevinfo to boot crunch for sysinstall's cpu probing logic

Notes:
1. On HEAD this code is not currently used because GENERIC kernels
include SMP. This work is mainly intended for RELENG_6 where the
GENERIC kernel is UP. If HEAD changes to match then just enable
WITH_SMP in sysinstall/Makefile.
2. The cpu probing support is done with acpi and MPTable; this means
some systems will require work for auto-detection to work.
3. The handling of /boot/kernel may need to be revisited; for now
we rename one kernel at the last moment (SMP if installed, otherwise
GENERIC). There are other, possibly better, approaches.

Lots of help from ru, emaste, scottl, and jhb.

Trade slattach for gpt. With all the tools to create new file systems,
the tool one needs to partition a disk is more important than some poor
man's network interface.

Put the ispfw.ko module on the EFI boot partition when creating a
bootable ISO. HP machines (like the rx2600) that (also) have isp(4)
may have a non-standard firmware on the controller. Our isp(4) driver
is not able to work with those and even panics. This makes installing
FreeBSD rather impossible. By adding the ispfw.ko module, we give the
user a chance to upload a certified firmware onto the card and so make
it possible to either use the isp(4) successfully or otherwise avoid
the panic.

Favor building the cdrtools port over fetching the package. There
hasn't been any package build for ia64 for a long time and in this
case it means that the cdrtools package on the FTP sites is one that
doesn't have mkisofs. This breaks the release build. By trying to
build the port first, we protect ourselves a bit more against this.

Add a publisher variable with the URL for the FreeBSD Project, and put

disklabel(8) is spelled bsdlabel(8) or sunlabel(8) these days.
Also make sure bsdlabel(8) (along with the disklabel(8) compat

it natively (alpha, i386, and pc98).

Double the size of the EFI boot image. 5MB is not enough. The kernel
is not compressed.


106722 10-Nov-2002 marcel

Make bootable ISO images by either 1) extacting the EFI partition
we created for the boot floppy, or 2) construct an EFI partition
by copying bits from /boot. The first approach creates a bootable
CD image that loads a memory disk and starts sysinstall, the second
approach creates a generic bootable CD.


106481 06-Nov-2002 marcel

Check the FSLABEL argument and invoke the generic doFS.sh script
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!


106445 05-Nov-2002 marcel

Create a special version for ia64. For auto-boot to work, we need
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.
