Caveats:
The new savecore program is not complete in the sense that it emulates
enough of the old savecores features to do the job, but implements none
of the options yet.
I would appreciate if a userland hacker could help me out getting savecore
to do what we want it to do from a users point of view, compression,
email-notification, space reservation etc etc. (send me email if
you are interested).
Currently, savecore will scan all devices marked as "swap" or "dump" in
/etc/fstab _or_ any devices specified on the command-line.
All architectures but i386 lack an implementation of dumpsys(), but
looking at the i386 version it should be trivial for anybody familiar
with the platform(s) to provide this function.
Documentation is quite sparse at this time, more to come.

Details:
Dumpon now opens the device and uses ioctl(DIOCGKERNELDUMP) to set it
to be the dumpdevice. When "off" is set, /dev/null is used.
that could be used to set/get arbitrary length link level

It does not help modern compilers, and some may take some hit from it.
(I also found several functions that listed *every* of its 10 local vars with
"register" -- just how many free registers do people think machines have?)
diskdrives do neither need nor want:
-O create a 4.3BSD format filesystem
-d rotational delay between contiguous blocks
-k sector 0 skew, per track
-l hardware sector interleave
-n number of distinguished rotational positions
-p spare sectors per track
-r revolutions/minute
-t tracks/cylinder
-x spare sectors per cylinder
No change in the produced filesystem image unless one or more of
these options were used.

ffsinfo, permitting ffsinfo to output to the shell's stdout rather than
requiring it be dumped to a file or explicitly pointed at a special
device.

A similar hack as what is used on the sparc64 MD macros can be used to

Old code obfuscates long (but single-line) messages by printing them in

else) have a chance to revise "boot" and "loader".
machdep.guessed_bootdev, and add code to sysctl to parse its value
and give a (not necessarily correct) name to the device we booted
from (the main motivation for this code is to use the info in the
PicoBSD boot scripts, and the impact on the kernel is minimal).
NOTE: the information available in bootdev is not always reliable,
so you should not trust it too much. The parsing code is the same
as in boot2.c, and cannot cover all cases -- as it is, it seems to
work fine with floppies and IDE disks recognised by the BIOS. It
_should_ work as well with SCSI disks recognised by the BIOS.
Booting from a CDROM in floppy emulation will return /dev/fd0 (because
this is what the BIOS tells us).
Booting off the network (e.g. with etherboot) leaves bootdev unset so
the value will be printed as "invalid (0xffffffff)".
Finally, this feature might go away at some point, hopefully when we
have a more reliable way to get the same information.

src/contrib/isc-dhcp/includes/minires/resolv.h has a 'extern' definition
but it makes an error when linking crunched binary just like this:
dhclient.lo: In function `MRres_nquery':
dhclient.lo(.text+0x2dcce): undefined reference to `__h_errno_set'
dhclient.lo(.text+0x2dd5b): undefined reference to `__h_errno_set'

dhclient.lo(.text+0x2de53): undefined reference to `__h_errno_set'
The author understands this will be a problem (see comments in resolv.h).
Murray said that the author will fix this, but as a temporary solution,
modifying the source code and not to use __h_errno_set.
BTW, I'm sorry that previous commitlog in src/sbin/dhclient/Makefile should
read "Found by:" instead of "Confirmed by"; I just found that rev 1.15
has a typo so fixed.

reflect what it really ends up being). Accordingly, change users of
xucred to set and check this field as appropriate. In the kernel,
this is being done inside the new cru2x() routine which takes a
`struct ucred' and fills out a `struct xucred' according to the
former. This also has the pleasant sideaffect of removing some
duplicate code.

volumes are available, instead of getting stuck in a loop calling
getvol(). Normally restore in 'x' or 'i' modes will ask for a new
(earlier) volume when the current inode number on the tape is greater
than the last inode to be restored, since there can be no further
inodes of interest on that volume. However we don't want to change
volumes in this case either if the user explicitly said that there
are no more tapes, or if we are looking at the first volume.
When no more volumes are available but there are still inodes that
we have not found, we now just fall through to the code that prints
out a list of any missing files, so the restore completes normally.
Also simplify the logic a bit by always returning to the start of
the main for(;;) loop whenever the volume has changed.
This should completely fix the "Changing volumes on pipe input" bug
that is often observed when restoring dumps of active filesystems.
