 1.34  02-Nov-2021  abs Update some distrib X11R6 references to X11R7

Some of these scripts and notes may no longer be relevant, but now
they are at least not relevant while referring to the current X
installation directory
 1.33  26-Jun-2021  tsutsui Remove an obsolete comment.
 1.32  25-Feb-2021  rin Oops, forgot to commit this. One more adjust for amiga/boot ver 3.1.

Shuold fix build.
 1.31  05-Dec-2020  tsutsui Use proper release version strings ("9.1" rather than "91") in banners.

Also define and use "MACHINE" variable to describe port names
(no uname(1) or sysctl(8) in miniroot binary list by default).

I guess the short format like "91" by ${DISTRIBREV} was used only
for split sets for floppies in 1990's releases.

Worth to pullup to netbsd-9.
 1.30  10-Apr-2019  christos branches: 1.30.2;
adjust miniroot scripts to deal with the time prefix in dmesg
 1.29  04-Apr-2019  christos modernize, and avoid -a -o
 1.28  15-Aug-2017  mlelstv branches: 1.28.4;
Ask for the boot command. It's necessary for some hardware
configurations and also to enable a serial console in the installed
system.
 1.27  24-May-2009  mlelstv branches: 1.27.40;
file(1) no longer provides the plain text "magic" database.

change the install.md script to not need file(1) similar to what the
sparc port did.
 1.26  30-Apr-2008  martin Convert TNF licenses to new 2 clause variant
 1.25  18-Jan-2006  is branches: 1.25.20; 1.25.22;
Instead of abusing the function md_prep_label(), create a new (optional)
md_view_labels() and a variable to mark its availability, so checking of
the available disklabels can be done before the root device is chosen.
Suggested by Martin Bertelsmann.
 1.24  07-Dec-2005  mhitch Add xetc to the sets list.
 1.23  17-Jan-2004  lukem branches: 1.23.6;
Remove references to xcontrib and xmisc now that they've been merged
into xbase.
 1.22  15-Jan-2003  mhitch Use the MI /usr/sbin/installboot instead of /usr/mdec/installboot.
 1.21  13-Jan-2003  is make this less confusing
 1.20  12-Jan-2003  is Make it work more than one time. The old behaviour was very annoying.
Reviewed by hubertf.
 1.19  23-Jul-2002  mhitch Add support for aout to ELF conversion to install.md, copied from the sparc
miniroot install.md. Add usr/bin/file and usr/share/misc/magic to the
miniroot - used by the install.md changes. Upgrades will now move the
standard a.out shared libraries to /emul/aout.
 1.18  15-Apr-2002  mhitch branches: 1.18.2;
Need to install /boot.amiga when installing/upgrading the bootblocks.
 1.17  02-Mar-2002  mhitch Adjust for change in kernel set naming.
 1.16  17-Dec-2001  mhitch Change to use the new two-stage boot loader when building the miniroot
filesystem.
 1.15  26-Jul-2001  is explicitly use ffs. As we currently are pretty much limited to ffs, for
bootblock reasons, this is ok...
XXX instead, mount should be changed to really guess what type is there, even
on mfs /kern/rootdev.
 1.14  14-Nov-2000  is On upgrades, or on installs where kern.tgz was installed, ask user wether
the installed kernel should be replaced by the miniroot kernel.
 1.13  24-Oct-2000  is When no bootblock is installed, no more action, output etc. is to be
expected, so no need for "...". Pointed out by Petri Koistinen.
 1.12  17-Sep-2000  is Now that we use an INSTALL kernel on the miniroot, give the user the
opportunity to install the GENERIC from kern.tgz.
 1.11  29-Jun-1999  is branches: 1.11.8;
Fix loop termination bug.
Won't try any longer to disklabel /dev/rdonec when exiting the
"look at disk label" loop (in md_prep_disklabel).
 1.10  29-Jun-1999  is Warn user not to use partition c for file systems
 1.9  21-Nov-1997  is branches: 1.9.2;
Get rid of (commented out) remnant of Atari install.md md_prep_disklabel.
Add into ours (which previously did nothing) a loop which allows to look
at the existing disk label.
 1.8  21-Nov-1997  is Offer to install the X11 sets, too.
 1.7  21-Nov-1997  is If we're (I)nstalling, add the same loadkmap call we use for the install
script to the end of rc.local.
 1.6  14-Nov-1997  veego md_native_fsopts don't need a '-', because install.sub use this
variable for '-o $md_native_fsopts'.
marmoset <pygmymarmoset@geocities.com> noticed the problem with
mounting a ados filesystem.
 1.5  31-Oct-1997  mhitch Mount needs -u option to make root writable.
 1.4  29-Oct-1997  mhitch Fix md_installboot() to use the correct arguments for installboot.
 1.3  09-Oct-1997  jtc branches: 1.3.2;
Fix tipo inherited from old version of TNF copyright template.
 1.2  23-Sep-1997  is We don't need md_get_ifdevs any more; install.sub calls ifconfig -l
nowadays.
 1.1  09-Sep-1997  is First hack at generic miniroot installation for NetBSD/Amiga.
Needs refinement at a few places, probably, and the docs still need to be
rewritten.
And we _still_ don't have a native partition table editor in the tree.
 1.3.2.5  21-Nov-1997  is Pullup from trunk:
Allow user to look at the disk labels before creating the fstab (abusing
md_prep_disklabel, which we can't do from inside NetBSD yet).
 1.3.2.4  21-Nov-1997  is Sync with trunk: Offer to install the X11 sets, too.
 1.3.2.3  21-Nov-1997  is Sync with trunk: install selected keyboardmap also in installed system.
 1.3.2.2  14-Nov-1997  veego Pull up rev 1.6 from the trunk:

Fix miniroot installation failure on network configuration. PR/54833
No particular comment in the PR.
Should be pulled up to netbsd-9.
Fix "[: SMALL test, no fallback usage" error on miniroot installation.
Avoid and replace use of '-a', '(' and ')' operatos marked obsolescent
by modern POSIX.1-2017:
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/test.html#tag_20_128_16
as suggested by kre@ in PR/54835.
Should be pulled up to netbsd-9.
The idiom
set $whatever
while [ $# - gt 10 ]; do shift 10; done
eval echo \$$#
fails when $# turns out to be 10 (or any multiple), it would need
to be instead
while [ $# -ge 10 ]; do shift 9; done
but there hasn't been a shell that cannot handle ${10} (etc) correctly
in a very long time, so let's just use that instead (properly quoted,
in case IFS happens to contain a digit for some bizarre reason).
We should also "set -f" / "set +f" (or better, restore the prev setting of -f)
around the "set $whatever" part, but if that was ever going to cause a problem
here, it would have already, so leave that for now.
test ! -n "$foo" is just a quaint way of saying test -z "$foo"
and test ! -z "$foo" is really just test -n "$foo" so let's just
use the simple (and more obvious) forms.
NFCI.
The kernel and X sets should be specified in MD miniroot scripts.
Otherwise they are not listed at least on ftp installation.

Explicitly sort set names fetched via ftp nlist.
Several binary sets are stored as symbolic links on releases and
it seems some ftpd doesn't sort nlist outputs by name in such case.

Inform the default installation directory in the official ftp server.
Fetch files via ftp using auto-fetching with URL per each binary set.
On slower machines, it takes more than five minutes to get a large
set binary and it could cause timeout of ftp control session, so
getting multiple binary sets in a single ftp session always fails.
Briefly tested on HP 9000/425e with 9.1 tree and ftp.netbsd.org binaries.
