This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
Set_Boot_Blocks(). Boy, this one had me tearing my hair out!
I hate how the loader distinguishes between `extern char *foo' and
`extern char foo[]' sometimes! :-)
- add __BEGIN_DECLS and __END_DECLS,
- add a bunch of ``const'' qualifiers all over the place,
- rename the `private' struct member into `private_data' to avoid the
clash with the C++ keyword.
Remove bogus targets.
Allocate partition letters as follows:
lowest offset "flags & CHUNK_IS_ROOT" gets 'a',
lowest offset "subtype==FS_SWAP" gets 'b'
the rest is allocated in offset order from this sequence "defghab".
This will generally make sense.
Added rules to complain if more than one CHUNK_IS_ROOT or more than one
FS_SWAP per FreeBSD chunk.
Set CHUNK_IS_ROOT on the 'a' partition in Open_Disk.
Run Fixup_Names in Open_Disk.
Add mbr and bteasy17 to tst01
read partitions from kernel instead of disk.
Still problems with writing labels, discussing with Bruce.
Extended slices doesn't get written yet.
Made an All_FreeBSD() function.
Added a cmd-line interface (lowest rank) to the tst01 program.
The tst01 program is harmless (worst it can do is coredump), but it
is instructive to run, you can see what the slice-code things of your
disk...
