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.
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.
Also make sure bsdlabel(8) (along with the disklabel(8) compat
link) still appear on the fixit floppies of platforms that use
it natively (alpha, i386, and pc98).

Do it so that systems without the -m option in disklabel(8),
e.g. 5.0-RELEASE, can still build current snapshots.
While here, drop the -s option from doFS.sh; we have not
been using the .size files for a long time.
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.
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!
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.

anything. Versions copied:
