Basically, this is just a simple name change. People were historically
confused by the "cpio floppy", having no clear idea as to what it was
(even if they knew what "cpio" stood for) given that the name gives
one absolutely no indication as to what it's FOR. It's about as content
free as calling it a "data floppy". Root floppy isn't much better, but
it's got some historical weight (Linux divides their set into boot and
root floppies) and is reasonably descriptive for a floppy that comprises
the beginnings of a stand-alone root filesystem.
in machdep.c (it should use the global nmbclusters). Moved the calculation
of nmbclusters into conf/param.c (same place where nmbclusters has always
been assigned), and made the calculation include an extra amount based
on "maxusers". NMBCLUSTERS can still be overrided in the kernel config
file as always, but this change will make that generally unnecessary. This
fixes the "bug" reports from people who have misconfigured kernels seeing
the network hang when the mbuf cluster pool runs out.

regular user could panic the machine with a simple "tail /proc/curproc/mem"
command. The problem was twofold: both kernfs and procfs didn't fill in
the mnt_stat statfs struct (which would later lead to an integer divide
fault in the vnode pager), and kernfs bogusly paniced if a bmap was
attempted.

v_numoutput wasn't incremented to match the b_iodone nesting. It's still
fishy that vwakeup() clears B_WRITEINPROG before biodone() has finished;
however, B_WRITEINPROG seems to be never used.

usage is very bad.
And I found some bugs(?) in ja_JP.*/usage.hlp.
1. I have made typo.
2. Mr. Hubbard didn't change about number of virtual consoles.

NE4100 on Jordan's laptop here, the ze driver works fine with that
card.

1. Fix a few bugs in the ftp installation code and implement proper
ftp and network shutdown routines.
2. Clean up the menus a fair bit - add a FreeBSD configuration menu.
3. Eliminate the last of the "chaining" - the installation now does
the most obvious thing in the most obvious cases and doesn't present
you with more menus than you were expecting. This makes it necessary to be
a little more explicit in places, but it's still less confusing.
4. Add a few more safety nets for the user. Change a few hard-and-fast
limits to warnings (it now runs as non-root, Bruce).
5. Add descriptions for all the supported ethernet cards.
6. Make the cpio floppy extract put up a menu requesting the drive you wish
to use if you have more than one; don't just always assume drive A.
Add testftp: target
ftp.c:
add more debugging output and fix a few more problems
media_strategy:
make the ftp system actually do something resembling common sense.
it now works after a fashion, although it soon falls over for some
reason.
ftp installation method should now function. We'll know as soon as my
make release builds the floppies. I'm just committing this out of my
release tree now so that it doesn't get clobbered again.
use them yet, but it's close (we're working on the last wrinkles
in the CD install for now).
2. Complete the CDROM installation strategy code.
3. Simplify the distribtuion loading code.
4. General error message cleanup.
5. Write the /etc/fstab file now and split those routines into config.c
6. Clean up the menus a little more.
