- zfs depends on the crypto module, not cryptodev, and most arm64 kernel
configs include std.dev, which includes "device crypto" anyway.
- This config works around a problem with kldxref lacking cross-target
support, but that has since been fixed.
- Loading cryptodev creates /dev/crypto, which gives unprivileged users
access to the kernel's opencrypto framework. Very few applications
need it, so we're needlessly increasing the kernel's surface area.
Thus, stop auto-loading cryptodev.

The network configuration options have changed in bsdinstall, with
an Auto option to proceed directly to DHCP and IPv6 autoconfig (which
is the default) as well as Manual (the old mode). For users like me
that were used to hitting return automatically to select an interface,
but want manual configuration, attempt to call out the difference:
Change the menu caption to say "Please select a network interface
and configuration mode:" and not just an interface.

This changes the OK / Cancel buttons into Auto / Manual / Cancel, with
Auto being the default. Manual behaves like OK used to, i.e. presents a
series of dialogs asking exactly how to configure the interface, and
Cancel is unchanged, exiting with exit code 1. Auto will attempt to
configure IPv4+DHCP and IPv6+SLAAC with no interaction, failing only if
neither can be configured, thereby supporting all of IPv4-only,
IPv6-only and dual-stack environments. If at least one DNS server is
provided, it will also skip asking for DNS settings, otherwise it will
act like Manual mode for the purposes of DNS settings and prompt. For a
standard dual-stack environment this cuts down the number of netconfig
dialogs from 6 (interface, IPv4, DHCP, IPv6, SLAAC, DNS) to just the
first one.

The replacement of echo >> with sysrc -f used sysrc key value, which
means "read variables key and value" and thus did nothing useful (and in
fact emitted errors to the log about neither existing). Instead use the
correct sysrc key=value form so the installed system comes back up with
working networking.

This isn't inherently an error. It is if you're attempting to download
dist tarballs or later install packages, but a FreeBSD system with no
NIC is a reasonable setup to have, especially in a throwaway VM setting,
so we shouldn't say it is one.
Leaving the exit code as 1 is still fine, since auto will ignore it, and
avoids breaking other uses.

The script uses [ -z "$INTERFACES" ] to check if the list of interfaces
is empty and will exit early if so, but INTERFACES always contains at
least a space due to the way it appends the list of wireless devices.
Fix this by only adding the space when there are devices to append,
mirroring the behaviour for non-wireless devices above (both will result
in a redundant leading space when the list is non-empty, but that one is
harmless).

Firstly, my review comments were not addressed and instead totally
ignored. Secondly, and a more valid justification for the revert, this
completely breaks the installer, since selectdists isn't installed.
Given the blatant lack of testing, back out this commit until it has
actually been tested and review comments taken on board so that the
installer actually works.
This reverts commit 009d3f66cb.
This allows writing setup scripts that contain lines starting with

Currently we just strip the .txz of the dist name (and add a status_
prefix) to get the shell variable name for its status, but this doesn't
give a valid result for dists like base-dbg, kernel-dbg and lib32-dbg,
or even kernel.KERNCONF (or, combining the two, kernel.KERNCONF-dbg). As
a result, four things go wrong for such dists:
1. If there is a dot and/or a dash in the name, writing to the variable
fails and spits an error out on stderr to the log
3. If there is a dot in the name before any dash, the syntax is always
invalid, reading the variable fails, spits an error out on stderr to
the log, the result is the empty string and that is interpreted as
being 0%
2. If there is a dash in the name before any dot, and there is a dist
whose name is the substring up to that first dash, and it has already
had its status written to, reading the variable instead reads that
dist's variable and so the status of that dist is displayed instead
3. If there is a dash in the name before any dot, and either there is
not a dist whose name is the substring up to that first dash or there
is such a dist but it has not already had its status written to,
reading the varaible instead results in the substring after the first
dash, including any additional string expansion syntax that follows
(i.e. ${status_kernel-dbg:--11}, the expression used to read the
variable, is interpreted as reading status_kernel with a default
value of "dbg:--11")
For example, in a default install with base, kernel, kernel-dbg and
lib32, the following sequence of displays happens:
1. base is In Progress, kernel is Pending, kernel-dbg is 0% (what shows
for the garbage input "dbg:--11") and lib32 is Pending
2. base is Passed, kernel is In Progress, kernel-dbg is In Progress
(since kernel has now had its status written to) and lib32 is
Pending
3. base is Passed, kernel is Passed, kernel-dbg is Passed (again, since
that is the status of kernel, despite that kernel-dbg is being
verified at this point) and lib32 is Pending
4. base is Passed, kernel is Passed, kernel-dbg is Passed and lib32 is
In Progress
Fix this with a crude encoding scheme. More special characters can
easily be added if needed in future.
Note that, prior to bsddialog being used (and thus for branches this is
MFC'ed to where dialog is still used), the same problem existed but
displayed slightly differently due to a combination of different default
values and different behaviour for unintended inputs.

It is possible to restart the installation process upon errors, when
installing normally through the `auto` script, or when setting up a jail
with the `jail` script. However, some values obtained interactively from
the user or guessed by some scripts are kept in the environment when
restarting the process; this makes it impossible to run some steps as
expected after the restart.
For instance, if a bad choice of mirror was made in the `mirrorselect`
phase, restarting the installer remembers the choice made, and will
never prompt for a different one. Rebooting is then the only easy way
out of this situation.
This change only affects the `jail` script for now, as otherwise there
is no way to tell if the value had been specifically set by the user
before starting bsdinstall.

The change is compatible with dialog(1) and Xdialog(1).
Throughout the bsdinstall script fd 3 is used by f_dprintf (set through

we use fd 3 to juggle stdout when calling out to other tools, which can

The variable used for the checklist's default value needs to correspond
to the rc.conf variable as that's what's being parsed to determine them.
In the case of local_unbound it's missing the _enable suffix and thus
always defaults to off on revisit.
Fixes: 58eb9abb31 ("Add a line to the post-installation configuration dialog to enable the local_unbound service.")
There are a few issues here, some of which are hiding others. The first
is that we don't use double quotes around the command substitution so
every word in the conf file is treated as a separate argument to eval,
resulting in spaces being used in place of newlines and thus comments in
the file commenting out the rest of the file, not just to the end of
their line. In particular, we insert one comment just before the dumpdev
entry (the final one in the file) and so we never see dumpdev as set,
and thus set a default value of on for the menu.
The second issue is that, for dumpdev, it takes a value of AUTO not YES
when set, but we don't replace this with on when eval'ing, so then end
up giving AUTO to bsddialog which is interpreted the same as off (which
seems to match GPL dialog). Thus handle AUTO like YES otherwise it will
always appear as unchecked on revisit.
The final issue is that our case-insensitive YES/NO (and now AUTO)
replacements have no word boundaries around them so match the middle of
words too. As it happens this doesn't matter in practice at the moment,
but it could in future; currently the only effect is that it rewrites
moused_nondefault_enable to moused_offndefault_enable, but since this
variable is never read, only written based on moused(_enable) this is
harmless, but we should fix it in case a service comes along in future
that does get affected by it.
This installer option is currently totally useless, as it ends up
creating an ntpd_sync_on_start_enable="YES" entry in rc.conf, not an
ntpd_sync_on_start="YES" entry, as is the correct name. This can also be
noticed by revisiting the services menu, which parses the previously
written rc.conf.services file to set variables governing the default
menu entry values so that selecting OK regenerates the same file, as the
menu entry will use the correct variable name and thus think the entry
was not selected last time, defaulting back to off and losing the
setting.
Thus, add a special case in the loop for this option. The only other
entry that doesn't follow the *_enable pattern is dumpdev (even moused
does, it just also sets a second variable), but that also deviates in
terms of being explicitly set either way and using AUTO rather than YES,
hence why ntpd_sync_on_start follows a different pattern here and is
special-cased rather than introducing a whole new variable that governs
behaviour outside the loop.
Fixes: c153a35bfd ("bsdinstall: replace ntpdate by ntpd_sync_on_start")
fetchmissingdists naturally sets BSDINSTALL_DISTDIR to a directory in
the new filesystem that it can write fetched distfiles to. As a result,
BSDINSTALL_DISTSITE was incorrectly set to the scratch space on /mnt for
the call to distfetch when grabbing local distfiles, and it would
subsequently fail.
Switch to using the copy of BSDINSTALL_DISTDIR that we stashed off
coming into fetchmissingdists; this one is in-fact set to the path where
the local distfiles are stored.
