This fixes the kernel panic when propagating userconfig changes to
arbitrary kernels.
Remove obsoleted `#include <tcl.h>' added a few <stdio.h> where
necessary.
Fix getting scsi bus information from an -incore kernel.
Turned on SAVE_USERCONFIG by default.
First, change sysinstall and the Makefile rules to not build the kernel
nlist directly into sysinstall now. Instead, spit it out as an ascii
file in /stand and parse it from sysinstall later. This solves the chicken-n-
egg problem of building sysinstall into the fsimage before BOOTMFS is built
and can have its symbols extracted. Now we generate the symbol file in
release.8.
Second, add Poul-Henning's USERCONFIG_BOOT changes. These have two
effects:
1. Userconfig is always entered, rather than only after a -c
(don't scream yet, it's not as bad as it sounds).
2. Userconfig reads a message string which can optionally be
written just past the boot blocks. This string "preloads"
the userconfig input buffer and is parsed as user input.
If the first command is not "USERCONFIG", userconfig will
treat this as an implied "quit" (which is why you don't need
to scream - you never even know you went through userconfig
and back out again if you don't specifically ask for it),
otherwise it will read and execute the following commands
until a "quit" is seen or the end is reached, in which case
the normal userconfig command prompt will then be presented.
How to create your own startup sequences, using any boot.flp image
from the next snap forward (not yet, but soon):
% dd of=/dev/rfd0 seek=1 bs=512 count=1 conv=sync <<WAKKA_WAKKA_DOO
USERCONFIG
irq ed0 10
iomem ed0 0xcc000
disable ed1
quit
WAKKA_WAKKA_DOO
Third, add an intro screen to UserConfig so that users aren't just thrown
into this strange screen if userconfig is auto-launched. The default
boot.flp startup sequence is now, in fact, this:
USERCONFIG
intro
visual
(Since visual never returns, we don't need a following "quit").

and will be committed over the next few hours.

in one place, leaking memory in another).
Add a facility to invoke subsystems directly by naming them on
sysinstall's command-line when running post-install. A replacement
for pkg_manage might, for example, be `/stand/sysinstall configPackages'
Fix bogon where upgrade shell was entered with tty modes spammed.
Fix bug with release name checking in ftp_strat. Turned a bunch of
bogus exit()s into proper calls to systemShutdown().
I still have a _very very annoying_ display bug which occurs when a menu
item causes a submenu to be displayed - the screen repaints for the original
menu (which is restored upon return from the submenu) are off by about 4
characters. I've tried restoring the screen, the cursor position, you name
it - same deal. Grrrr! This commit is my first step in trying to get someone
else to help me look into this one since I'm just tearing my hair out at this
point!
1. Use new dialog menu hacks (no strings, just arrays of dialogMenuItem structs)
so that I can create composite menus with radio/checkbox/... items in them,
removing some long-standing UI bogons in various menus. This work isn't
finished yet, but will be done in two phases. This is phase one.
2. Remove all the script installation stuff. I never got time to document it,
it was arcane and it just complicated much of the code. There are better
ways of doing this if I want to do auto-driven installations later.
3. Remove much dead code and otherwise attempt to remove as much historical
grot as possible so that this code is easier to hack on. This is also
a two-stage process, phase one of which is now complete.
Fixed DPADD again.
mk/bsd.README
Don't list the LIBXXX identifiers here. Describe them better.
mk/bsd.prog.mk
Updated the list of LIBXXX identifiers.
- recently added library libdisk.a wasn't mentioned (required for sysinstall)
- old objects kz*.o weren't mentioned
- old libraries libc_pic.a, libcom_err.a, libf2c.a, libg++.a, libgcc_pic.a,
libgmp.a, libipx.a, libkeycap.a, libss.a and libxpg4.a weren't mentioned
- old libraries libgnumalloc.a and libftp.a no longer exist
- old library libmp.a was said to not exist
- deprecated links libfl.a and libln.a weren't mentioned
This looks like it was developed offline, and is being spammed over the
top of the existing. "That's fine by me! I dont really care how you do
it, just get it in there..." said Jordan in a conversation a short while
ago...
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.
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.

2. Totally rework device registration. It's about half the size and
more powerful now.
3. Add DOS discovery.
4. Start filling in some of the strategy routines.
5. Another clean-up pass over the menus.
6. Make wizard code use Disk typedef.
If I can get the first strategy routine finished tonite, we should have a working
install (from ftp, at least) this weekend.
as per Andrey's letter. Make a few modifications for correctness.
2. Add Language menu back to first menu - it was too buried in the
Options menu.
3. Add size information to all distributions.
4. Add a compat20 distribution (we need to make one of these!! Any takers? Please?)

2. Don't use russian screenmap - apparently not necessary with right font.
3. Dequote bogusly quoted font name in english language setting.
4. Use setterm() and hack around an undesirable side-effect (cbreak is unset).
5. be smarter about setting OnVTY, and use it in cases where it makes sense.

It remains to be seen how successfully. The distribution loading code
is still not here yet, but the partition/newfs/mount/cpio-extract cycle
is as complete as it's ever going to get, modulo possible bug fixes.
The TCP/IP setup screen is also sort of here, albeit in a highly-changing
state due to the fact that per-interface information isn't being kept
right now but is being added (thanks, Gary!).
Do another clean-up pass over this, making the generic menu handler much
more powerful (now handles multiple dispatch). A few more menus fleshed
out and the beginnings of the distribution handler committed. Should
be transfering full distributions over in the next commit.
fixed, we should be able to fully set up the user's disk. Still to come
with next commit: filesystem setup, distribution extraction, final
configuration.
nor is it in sync with my working sources, but it leaves me less CVS hassles
to bring in the new files at this time. Still no documentation to translate
quite yet, but soon. This stuff is actually very close now.
Added another couple of menu item types.
Reshuffled the menus and added a few more. Sure wish I could figure out
how to initialize a menu with _one_ initializer rather than two! :(
more to come in the next 24 hours, this is just the first stable result of
8 hours of hacking so far. The specification format for menus is pretty
much hammered out and the beginnings (very humble) of the doc hierarchy
are present for an example. It should be quite easy to add a lot more
menus quickly to this since I did go somewhat out of my way to make the
framework easy to work with. This is NOT the glorious semi-graphical
sysinstall (or whatever its name will be) that the install-geeks are working
on, this is simply the "son of sysinstall" I've been promising to write in
the interim for 2.0.5 and 2.1R (super install doesn't come until 2.2R).
