remove some old minix-userland-specific stuff
. /etc/ttytab as a file, and minix-compat function (fftyslot()),
replaced by /etc/ttys and new libc functions
. also remove minix-specific nlist(), cuserid(), fttyslot(), v8 regex
functions and <compat/regex.h>
. and remaining minix-only utilities that use them
. also unused <compat/pwd.h> and <compat/syslog.h> and
redundant <sys/sigcontext.h>
There is important information about booting non-ack images in
docs/UPDATING. ack/aout-format images can't be built any more, and
booting clang/ELF-format ones is a little different. Updating to the
new boot monitor is recommended.
Changes in this commit:
. drop boot monitor -> allowing dropping ack support
. facility to copy ELF boot files to /boot so that old boot monitor
can still boot fairly easily, see UPDATING
. no more ack-format libraries -> single-case libraries
. some cleanup of OBJECT_FMT, COMPILER_TYPE, etc cases
. drop several ack toolchain commands, but not all support
commands (e.g. aal is gone but acksize is not yet).
. a few libc files moved to netbsd libc dir
. new /bin/date as minix date used code in libc/
. test compile fix
. harmonize includes
. /usr/lib is no longer special: without ack, /usr/lib plays no
kind of special bootstrapping role any more and bootstrapping
is done exclusively through packages, so releases depend even
less on the state of the machine making them now.
. rename nbsd_lib* to lib*
. reduce mtree
With -n -b file, a.out boot images can be used for CD booting;
with the new -n -B file option, plain binary (like bootxx_cd9660)
can be used instead.
Restore working the -h and -f options while there.
And add a new -F option for 2.8MB floppy image.
Register file timestamps
Remember the path tables in the primary descriptor
Put the size of the parent directory in the \1 entry, not own size
Allow the use of -b option without -a
Notes:
* Still missing the man page
* Filenames are still trimmed to 12 characters, because of
8.3 MS-DOS inherited compatibility (ISO9660 level 1);
also note that 7.4 or 9.2 filenames are accepted though
* Final . at end of filenames without extension is still missing
* VMS-compatible ;1 version suffix is still omitted
* Limit of 65,535 directories in path tables is not checked
. also implement now-possible fsck -p option
. allows unconditional fsck -p invocation at startup,
only checking each filesystem if not marked clean
. mounting unclean is allowed but is forced readonly
. updating the superblock while mounted is now not
allowed by mfs - must be done (e.g. by fsck.mfs)
on an unmounted fs
. clean flag is unset by mfs on mounting, and set by
mfs on clean unmounting (if clean flag was set at
mount time)

This driver can be loaded as an overlay on top of a real block
device, and can then be used to generate block-level failures for
certain transfer requests. Specifically, a rule-based system allows
the user to introduce (overt and silent) data corruption and errors.
It exposes itself through /dev/fbd, and a file system can be mounted
on top of it. The new fbdctl(8) tool can be used to control the
driver; see ``man fbdctl'' for details. It also comes with a test
set, located in test/fbdtest.
