| 1.7 | 22-May-2022 |
jmcneill | Restore Makefile.installimage include after variables are set. Makes amd64
USB install images bootable again.
|
| 1.6 | 08-May-2022 |
mrg | fix building amd64 with USE_XZ_SETS=no.
bump the size of images if USE_XZ_SETS != no. consolidate a lot of
the code between installimage/Makefile and installimage-bios/Makefile
into installimage/installimage.mk.
|
| 1.5 | 03-Jan-2022 |
martin | There is no point in putting a second sysinst binary into the install
image's root filesystem.
|
| 1.4 | 31-Dec-2021 |
pgoyette | Still not big enough - bump some more.
|
| 1.3 | 30-Dec-2021 |
pgoyette | With recent changees to debug kernel stuff from Christos we are
once again pushing the size limit. Bump it again.
|
| 1.2 | 26-Dec-2021 |
pgoyette | Once again things have grown, so the install image allocation size
needs to be bumped.
XXX There's gotta be a better way to maintain this! :-)

Restore having a BIOS-only amd64 USB image.
Several people reported having hardware that struggles booting the mix
EFI+BIOS image, and it's better to offer them a working image.
Keeping the EFI image as having the obvious name, this is going to become
more likely to work by default as newer hardware may not support BIOS boot.

abs | Enable basic command line editing in amd64 installer shells
When a user selects "exist installer" or hits ^Z in sysinst, the
calling install.sh runs a shell, plus shows a message indicating
they can type "exit" to return to the installer.
Add -E to the arguments to this shell, to enable command line editing,
(primarily for arrow keys, but basic emacs sequences will also work)
At this point this is only on amd64, as this is the port which is
least likely to be installing on particularly esoteric terminal
hardware, and is also likely to have the highest proportion of less
experienced users

At this point this is only on amd64, as this is the port which is

experienced users
Enable basic command line editing in i386 installer shells
(Following the pattern in amd64)
When a user selects "exit installer" or hits ^Z in sysinst, the
calling install.sh runs a shell, plus shows a message indicating
they can type "exit" to return to the installer.
Add -E to the arguments to this shell, to enable command line editing,
(primarily for arrow keys, but basic emacs sequences will also work)
Switch install.sh to use /usr/sbin/sysinst for sysinst rather than ./sysinst
Matches i386/cdroms/install.sh and amd64/installimage/install.sh
resultant install image verified to still run sysinst correctly
Enable basic command line editing in evbarm, sparc64 and vax installer shells
(Following the pattern in amd64)
When a user selects "exit installer" or hits ^Z in sysinst, the
calling install.sh runs a shell, plus shows a message indicating
they can type "exit" to return to the installer.
Add -E to the arguments to this shell, to enable command line editing,
(primarily for arrow keys, but basic emacs sequences will also work)
With the change of all the install.sh scripts in amd64, evbarm,
i386, sparc64 and vax are identical apart from NetBSD RCD tags and
the sysctl -nx kern.consdev check (some of the latter are definitely
either wrong, or have an incorrect comment attached. Will return
to later)
Add "-i -E" to /bin/sh called from sysinst
This enables command line editing (primarily for arrow keys, but basic
emacs sequences will also work)
In the event that the shell has been compiled without command line
editing features (for memory contrained install environments) the
-E is ignored
