The removal of the sparc64 support in February 2020 obsoleted the
VTOC8 partitioning scheme as no other FreeBSD platform makes use
of it. Moreover, the code is bitrotting as nothing defines e. g.
LOADER_VTOC8_SUPPORT any more and, thus, should go now, too. With
this change, the following commits are reverted as far as VTOC8
is concerned and parts haven't already previously been deleted
along with prior sparc64 removals:
094fcb157da7d366e958ba8d50d08b
The alignment example d9711c28ef
added to the VTOC8 section of gpart.8 is folded into the MBR one.
This should finally conclude the deorbit of sparc64-specific bits.

We use QEMU's virtual FAT support to avoid having to create a disk
image because it is much faster, but it has a limit of about 500MB.
Artifacts produced by the GCC 12 CI job exceeded this size.
Add support for creating a FAT partition image and MBR-partitioned disk
image and use it when the file system is too large for QEMU.
In one run the Cirrus-CI LLVM test task took 1m33s using QEMU's virtual
FAT while the GCC task took 6m48s using makefs+mkimg.

full-test.sh aims to be a test suite generator for the boot loader. It
tries to grab artifacts from the web and then constructs minimal boot
environments from that as well as writing qemu-system-* using scripts
that facilitates testing all the ways we can boot... At least all the
ways that we an boot that qemu can emulate.
This is very much a work in progress, and likely could use a good
cleanup at some point.

Move the mbr non-geli zfs cases to no-priv creation with makefs / mkimg.
Add comments about the weird thing we do for MBR + ZFS + Legacy. Add
comments about other architectures. Still need to think through how to
leverage a completed universe to do all the architectures...

Start to use makefs for ZFS. This covers the gpt nogeli variants. ZFS
MBR booting is tricky and complicated, so will need some additional
tweaks that makefs/mkimg isn't able to do at the moment. This means that
all gpt nogeli amd64 combinations can be built w/o root.
In addition, tweak the generated qemu.sh files to use stdio for the
console. We grep the output for SUCCESS and report each of the booting
types. Create a all.sh that will run these automatically. These all can
also run w/o root.
In the future, I'll add support for a make univers followed by this
script to create other architectures' tests and/or generate stand tests
for /usr/tests...

Minor changes to the non-geli UFS targets: migrate to using ufs labels
so we don't need to know the name of the device we booted off of. This
doesn't change the GELI test cass just yet since I've not tested them.
ZFS doesn't need these changes since we don't need to encode the device

We build lua by default, so we don't need another build to build it
enabled w/o FORTH. That gives little value over the without forth
builds. Remove all mips, they are no longer relevant. Build aarch64
everywhere we build amd64 (except firewire which is x86 only). Build a
few more architectures once so we have at least one of every arch we

and still take less time than before.

RISC-V has the same booting requirements as arm64 (loader.efi, no legacy

Rather than hard coding ada0 everywhere, use ${dev}. Also, set
dev=vtbd0 since both qemu and bhyve support this. More work
should be done to use labels instead for fstab.
qemu scripts likely need adjustment. And we should also
likely generate byhve scripts too.
The primary benefit is maintaining a completely shared
code base with the community allowing FreeBSD to receive
new features sooner and with less effort.
I would advise against doing 'zpool upgrade'
or creating indispensable pools using new
features until this change has had a month+
to soak.
Work on merging FreeBSD support in to what was
at the time "ZFS on Linux" began in August 2018.
I first publicly proposed transitioning FreeBSD
to (new) OpenZFS on December 18th, 2018. FreeBSD
support in OpenZFS was finally completed in December
2019. A CFT for downstreaming OpenZFS support in
to FreeBSD was first issued on July 8th. All issues
that were reported have been addressed or, for
a couple of less critical matters there are
pull requests in progress with OpenZFS. iXsystems
has tested and dogfooded extensively internally.
The TrueNAS 12 release is based on OpenZFS with
some additional features that have not yet made
it upstream.
Improvements include:
project quotas, encrypted datasets,
allocation classes, vectorized raidz,
vectorized checksums, various command line
improvements, zstd compression.
Thanks to those who have helped along the way:

It seems to be incompatible with the OVMF.fd (of unknown provenance)

o Update the path to the OVMF file, which is now in /usr/local/share/uefi-edk2-qemu.
o Use the more modern q35, pc-q35-3.0 (Q35 + ICH9, 2009) QEMU machine
instead of the default, obsolete pc, pc-i440fx-3.0 (i440FX + PIIX, 1996).
For example this adds ACPI support.
o Specify the system firmware using the newer pflash drive syntax instead
of bios.
o Remove extra, unneeded devices by passing -nodefaults.
o Change text to talk about 'firmware' instead of 'bios', since UEFI

tools/boot/install-boot.sh was assuming that if a device was passed in,
it should operate on the current system and run efibootmgr etc. to
update the boot manager. However, rootgen.sh passes a md(4) device and
not a fixed disk.
Add a -u option to install-boot.sh to tell it to update the system
in-place and run efibootmgr etc.
Also, source install-boot.sh in rootgen.sh to allow it to find and
call make_esp_file etc. And pass the loader file to make_esp_file instead
of a directory name.

Allow the script to be run from the src/tools/boot directory by using make

Also, use a temp directory in $TMPDIR to assemble the boot image, and write

itself up, but leave the log file in $TMPDIR for post-mortem analysis of

Currently, the installer uses pre-created 800KB FAT12 filesystems that
it dd's onto the ESP partition.
This changeset improves that by having the installer generate a FAT32
filesystem directly onto the ESP using newfs_msdos and then copying
loader.efi into /EFI/freebsd.
For live installs it then runs efibootmgr to add a FreeBSD boot entry
in the BIOS.
