BSDinstall has acquired at this point its final form (prior to a
future merge with pc-sysinstall), and I believe is ready to replace
sysinstall on the 9.0 snapshot ISOs. Barring any objections, I would
like to pull this switch 2 weeks from today, on the 14th of March.
A patch to the release infrastructure code can be found here (make
release must be run with Makefile.bsdinstall using this patch to get
non-sysinstall media):
http://people.freebsd.org/~nwhitehorn/bsdinstall-release.diff
In Makefile.bsdinstall:
+cdrom:
+ echo kernel_options=\"-C\"> ${DISTDIR}/release/boot/loader.conf
+ sh /usr/src/release/${TARGET}/mkisoimages.sh -b FreeBSD_Install
${DISTDIR}/release.iso ${DISTDIR}/release
+ rm ${DISTDIR}/release/boot/loader.conf
${TARGET} must be ${TARGET_ARCH} because pc98 and sunv4 don't have
mkisoimages.sh script.
I was thinking of just copying the i386/mkisoimages.sh and making the -G
behavior the default. It seems to me to make more sense to use MACHINE
than MACHINE_ARCH for this, since pc98 seems to have different
requirements than i386. We could just copy the sparc64 install script
for sun4v.
Do you have a plan to add a floppy support as boot device? Pc98
machines which can boot from CD-ROM are very limited. So we usually
use FD for boot media to install.
No, I hadn't thought about this. If there aren't any machines you care
about that don't have a CD drive at all, we could try a
CD-bootloader-on-a-floppy as a solution. I think a totally floppy based
install would be very difficult to arrange, however.
