- 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.

CDs are not partitioned, so this is not correct syntax for loading from
ISO 9660. Omit the partition ID.

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.

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).

Add an MBR to our release media to aid booting some IBM systems.


221825 12-May-2011 nwhitehorn

Fix pSeries/PAPR boot CD construction after actual testing. It seems that
IBM SLOF is (a) case-sensitive and (b) accepts only booting files in
certain subdirectories of the CD.


221814 12-May-2011 nwhitehorn

Add (somewhat speculative) bootable CD support for PAPR/pSeries-type
systems. In principle, FreeBSD should run on at least some of these
already, and support for the remainder will hopefully show up eventually,
so add this while I'm thinking about it.

Garbage collect some unused variables and stray debug code.

Change the way powerpc bootable CDs are generated to work around a bug
in hybrid image generation in cdrtools. This produces a small HFS partition
containing loader, mapped in by an oddly-formed APM table using a new
feature in makefs. This does not appear to work yet on early-model G3
systems, which will be fixed later, but produces bootable CDs on
everything else.


219918 23-Mar-2011 nwhitehorn

Add support for memstick generation on PowerPC. This is a little suboptimal
since glabel doesn't know about APM partitioning yet, but works well enough.


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.

Fix making a release. The old libdialog was renamed to libodialog.


216469 15-Dec-2010 nwhitehorn

Fix the overflowing livefs ISO by removing man pages from the HFS part of
the hybrid disk. This is a stopgap until a better solution can be found,
but lets the powerpc release build complete for the time being.

Reorder to have -lcrypto after -larchive. Our linker doesn't seem to like
the current ordering :(

libarchive now needs libcrypto and liblzma.

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.

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.

HFS/ISO9660 extensions to be bootable on Power Macs.
