Following a suggestion by Ruslan, the initial creation of the
includes and libraries (and build tools) is now done by
invoking "make buildworld" (with -DPICOBSD which eventually will
limit the amount of stuff built with a 2-line change in Makefile.inc1).
The correct environment is then used for subsequent builds.
Also remove write_mfs_in_kernel.c in favour of using dd
All the above is conditional on __FreeBSD_version, as the previous
method still worked for versions earlier than 500035, and I am
unsure on how the "new" method works for earlier versions.
Finally, note that the crunch.conf files need some work because
some libraries (e.g. gmd) have gone away from the base installation.
filesystem expands the inode to 256 bytes to make space for 64-bit
block pointers. It also adds a file-creation time field, an ability
to use jumbo blocks per inode to allow extent like pointer density,
and space for extended attributes (up to twice the filesystem block
size worth of attributes, e.g., on a 16K filesystem, there is space
for 32K of attributes). UFS2 fully supports and runs existing UFS1
filesystems. New filesystems built using newfs can be built in either
UFS1 or UFS2 format using the -O option. In this commit UFS1 is
the default format, so if you want to build UFS2 format filesystems,
you must specify -O 2. This default will be changed to UFS2 when
UFS2 proves itself to be stable. In this commit the boot code for
reading UFS2 filesystems is not compiled (see /sys/boot/common/ufsread.c)
as there is insufficient space in the boot block. Once the size of the
boot block is increased, this code can be defined.
Things to note: the definition of SBSIZE has changed to SBLOCKSIZE.
The header file <ufs/ufs/dinode.h> must be included before
<ufs/ffs/fs.h> so as to get the definitions of ufs2_daddr_t and
ufs_lbn_t.
Still TODO:
Verify that the first level bootstraps work for all the architectures.
Convert the utility ffsinfo to understand UFS2 and test growfs.
Add support for the extended attribute storage. Update soft updates
to ensure integrity of extended attribute storage. Switch the
current extended attribute interfaces to use the extended attribute
storage. Add the extent like functionality (framework is there,
but is currently never used).

the author obviously meant a void since he doesn't return any values.
One caveat, http_request has three return()'s, but doesn't do anything
with it. Either the code needs to be rewritten to take care of proper
error handling on that point, or the returns ripped out. I made it void
for now.
We had to give up DDB and grep this time...

we can stuff more things in the image (mostly for use on a CDROM).

closer to doing "the right thing".
The structure is now the following:
* /etc/rc (from MFS) loads the rest of /etc and /root from
/fd and then from floppy (if present), then transfers control
to /etc/rc1
* /etc/rc1 loads defaults from /etc/rc.conf.defaults, tries to
set the hostname basing on the MAC address of the first ethernet
interface, and then sources /etc/rc.conf and /etc/rc.conf.local
for local configurations
* The rest of the startup process is then performed (rc.network and so on).
Everything except the initial /etc/rc (from MFS) can be overridden with
a local version loaded from floppy. But in most cases, you should only need
to customize the following files in /etc:
rc.conf rc.firewall hosts
Previously there were a number of inconsistencies in the calling
between files, and also a lot of clutter in rc.conf and rc.firewall.
Also, "rc1" was called "rc" and would overwrite the initial /etc/rc
from MFS, making it really hard to figure out what was going on in
case of bugs.
+ fix some dialog entries to correctly modify variables instead of working
in a subshell
+ add a logverbose function for debugging purposes
+ force 512/4096 blocks on filesystems
+ use 'auto' for disklabel so it works irrespective of the floppy size.
This is useful for larger images than 1720k
