floppies now. I'm not sure why, but things hang when it gets to the
`changing root to fd0c' part. Without your latest commit, everything works
fine. Maybe you can figure out what you broke after ALPHA! :)
Make a stab at getting free space display to work.
Forward decls to shut compiler warnings up.
Increase some fields to width 2 in order to get edit_line to let you
actually edit them.
Sanity check values and yell at bonehead users.
Try to reformat this code to be a little more human. Weird europeans
have been writing this, and can't even seem to agree a single coding
style for more than 4 consecutive lines! :-)
most common cd9660 and nfs options like God intended them. (It is now
possible to say
mount -o ro,soft,bg,intr there:/foo/bar /foo/bar
again.) This whole getmntopt() business is an incredible botch;
it never should have been anything more than a wrapper around
getsubopt(3). Because if the way the current hackaround is implemented,
options which take arguments (like the old `rsize' and `wsize') are still
unavailable, and must be accessed the new, broken way.
(It's unimaginable how Berkeley managed to screw up one of the few things
about NFS that Sun actually got right to begin with!)
errors at a lower ipl. clist starvation problems can cause hundreds of
tty buffer overflows per second and logging them all amplified the
problems. This problem was less serious in 1.1.5.
Avoid a race in the check for starting a new block of output. com_events
was sometimes messed up and siopoll() looped endlessly. This bug was
introduced in 2.0.
Clean up previous 2 commits. Rename sio_registerdev() to sioregisterdev()
to match the (bad) surrounding naming conventions. There should be a
generic_registerdev().
a clist return with an error. There are some clist starvation/deadlock
bugs elsewhere and killing clist hogs didn't help because the breaks
only exited from the inner loops.
I'm not sure if this is just masking another problem (like, should
ap->a_eofflag EVER be NULL?), but if it prevents a panic for now then
it may save an ALPHA customer.

about them.. :-) The patches/* won't work, it needs to be patches/patch-*
to avoid catching things like CVS files when working with a checked-out
copy of ports! Whoops!
1. Make build rely on a BUILD_COOKIE now. I'm tired of builds
being redone gratuitously while I'm trying to debug a tree build
problem.
2. Remove all the literal `touch -f' commands and indirect them through
variables. This lets you "leave tracks" in different ways, depending
on the medium. Just part 1 of my planned changes to make builds
directly off the CD work.
I have walked all over Paul Richards code again, and severely lobotomized
some of his stuff, in order to cut some corners for the 2.0-Alpha release.
I belive that we can now manipulate fdisk and disklabel-stuff sufficiently
for the release to actually be produced.
It's not that I don't like Paul and his code, I just need something I
can kick out of the door RSN.
Sysinstall is now under absolute code-freeze, only Jordan has my permission
to commit to this code (stage0 & 5). I would appreciate if everybody
else would finds problems in sysinstall send patches to me, and I will
commit them. THANKYOU.
The fdisk/disklabel editors are made in pure ncurses, and follow a model
"a`la spreadsheet".
There are some important functions which are missing still, and I would
appreciate if somebody would look at them.
The FDISK part needs a "whole-disk" option, and it needs a "rewrite
MBR-boot code" option.
The DISKLABEL part needs to be able to "import DOS-partition".
Both need a "HELP" function, (display a file "/HELP" using dialog is OK).
It seems to me like the wd.c and sd.c should reread the physical record
when a DIOCGDINFO is made, so that they can pick up changes in the
MBR-data. Otherwise there will be a couple of weird cases where we
cannot avoid replicating code from the kernel.
If you want to play with this, look at src/release/Makefile. You may need
to step back to version 1.38 of sys/i386/isa/fd.c to make "rootable"
floppies, it is not clear at this time if that indeed is the problem I
have been having.
Sleep well, my friends, and expect the real Alpha in 24H, if the tree is
still solid.
